Are you using BetterBatteryStats to get the name of the thing causing the kernel wakelock?I think the problem seems to be that the phone doesnt sleep all the time when you are not using it. I have a kernel wakelock keeping the phone off sleep for 18 minutes (0f 2 hours since charge). Which doesnt seem normal?
I can confirm that JLB7.0 gives me far better battery life than other builds.
For example, during my sleep time (around 8h) my phone drains about 4-5%! With other roms it's more 15-20%.
In both cases I have wifi & data enabled.
3G power consumption is really dependant of the signal strengh for me (French user)
Last week-end, I visited my familly where signal is very very weak (and no wifi available): the battery drained very quickly (maybe 5-8% per hour)
My others phones performed better in this case, but for ereryday use, the mi2 + JLB 7.0 battery life, especially on wifi, is quite impressive.
Signal strength would surely be a major factor in battery life.
Dang it, so uncertain as to if I should try out JLB7.0, or continue to stick with 3.2.8.
It's just I'll be losing root privelages going to the JLB variant. Do you have any feedback on the newer JLB builds?
What wifi policy do you use? Im on the original 3.2.8 and i cant make the wifi to sleep no matter what policy i choose... for the 3g i found a nice solution over the xda. Auto 2g 3g app. Its tricky to install but once installed it manages the 3g. If wifi connected it switches to 2g, if screen off it switches to 2g...

If screen off, if out of the range whitelisted WiFi networks the WiFi is off. WiFi turns on every hour for notification.What wifi policy do you use?

it was most on 2G.. when I needed more speed I switched to 3G and then back to 2GThe real question is how much of that was with 3G on?
