When I bought my NEO it has .283 firmware and battery seems very good, but when updated to .42 firmware my battery seems drain faster even on deepsleep. I left it one night and when I saw it on the morning, battery drained about 15% in 8 hours. Its really annoying, even my old X10 can get better battery life on deepsleep with stock kernel.

And finaly I solved it, here is what I've done.
Just flash .283 kernel above .42 kernel, use flashtool to flash it.
you can use 4.0.1.A.0.283 ftf file, and flash it via flashtool.
Or simply flash provided ftf below. :)

You dont need an unlocked bootloader phone to flash stock kernel

just share, I've flashed baseband from .62 firmware and works great, you can try it if you want.

If you need something just ask me here. Thanks.

Cheers, Aim. ;)

Sometimes I also see battery drain, about 2% per hour. Then, restart the device is the best solution, or can also use "Titanium backup" to freeze the Google Map.
Google map sometimes drain battery on idle mode
(fw .283, .42. 62)

And I recommend you Antutu Battery Saver apps, its underclock your cpu automatically when you dont use it too much, very good for your battery, my battery last almost 2 days with heavy use (auto sync, browsing, and lil bit gaming)

how to tick/select the kernel only on flash tool? help me pls.

Open flashtool, then select flash, open the .283 ftf, in the right side you can see, selectable/tickable menu > wipe user data, wipe cache, exclude system, exclude baseband, exclude kernel.
Tick exclude system and exclude baseband. And untick the rest.

    is it flashed? coz when i go about phone it looks the same for me.. build number same: 4.0.2.A.0.42 kernel looks same and baseband? :p


    Dial this *#*#7378423#*#* and goto service info and then software info. There you will find the kernel and baseband version.
