Still having all these horrible battery issues; drained it completely last night, left it to charge overnight. It's mostly been off bar 15/20 minutes of browsing and it's already down to 87%. Better Battery Stats is showing it's the msm_hsic_wakelock.
Will just rooting and putting on a kernel solve it once and for all.

that is the only thing you can do
really rooting is nothing HUGE its like having admin rights on your phone.
I worked out that 25 minutes of screen time equals 10% battery on mobile data, wifi you can get around 45 minutes.
A custom kernel would help but its more important to see if its other factors causing the high battery usage.
Also completely draining the battery is not good.

H is faster than 3g my friend. And depending on what network you're on, it could be pretty damn fast.
I'm on GiffGaff, and as they use the O2 network that means H speeds up to 42Mbps for me
I'm on WiFI all the time; I love onsite where I work.
Here's some more screenshots from about 10 minutes ago, if that helps. I don't have any strenous apps or anything; just your usual push notifications for email/Twitter/Instagram. Nothing else. Location settings off etc.

Not necessarily. If you have poor signal, your battery will drain a lot more than if you have good signal.
lol - you missed the wink out.
Typical OEM values with theoretical peak download speeds.r[
G = General packet radio service (GPRS) 20 kbit/s
E = Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) 60 kbit/s
3G = Third Generation (3G) 3.6-7.2 Mbit/s
H = High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSPA) 14.4 Mbits/s
H+ = Evolved HSDPA (HSPA+) 42+ Mbit/s
4G = Fourth Generation/LTE 100 Mbit/s

I was with O2 for about 20 months and I don't think I ever saw anything close to 4.2Mbps, let alone 42Mbps (even on H+).
just flashed pa and very pleased with it so far
noticed a post by someone earlier about all the different modes and found this very helpfull
can see the different options to change all the dpi settings on the nav bar and stuff but when i run say something like youtube the buttons stay on the screen
apart from that loving the rom colours are lovely if autobrightness does seem a bit low

depends if it clears the battery stats then it'll take a couple of days to cycle through..
but yeah it should be better! if you're happy with stock android just root it and put franco's kernel on don't bother with PA unless you want a lot of extras and possibly some bugs too.depends if it clears the battery stats then it'll take a couple of days to cycle through..
No bugs on PA mate, It isn't like CM
I noticed CM has a bug with GPS.I should add really if there are any bugs it will be the same as stock

why don't you read the threads on xda and find out? every rom has its own advantages and disadvantages, or why not read through this thread, it has been answered several times before, even in the last 24 hours.
underclocking is like basically a placebo effect on battery life, sure it lasts longer, but it also takes longer to do the same tasks, the most power hungry part of the phone is the screen, so if it is taking longer, the screen stays on for longer, consuming more battery,
imo underclocking or overclocking is not needed for this phone. the phone does get hot, so might be worth underclocking the top end slightly to avoid throttling, etc, but i do not think it is worth messing around with.
i tried out the louder hack, and tbh it isn't stable, sometimes i would receive a call and i could not hear them and they could not hear me, even when i reverted the mod, it still happened, had to re-install PA to fix it. i would stay away from the louder mod and also the increase camera quality mod (increases file sizes) based on my own experience and posts on xda.
the only mods i think you should do for this phone are:
custom roms
custom kernels
nothing else seems to be worth it or not fully working or stable enough, all the smaller mods like louder nexus, if they truly were good, they would be implemented by a custom rom developer, there is a reason why the rom developers have chosen not to do them
Thought so myself, however should it automatically connect to virgin if I put a virgin sim in it?
Anyone had any experience of getting a micro-sim off them?
