Just had to drop by and thank you Kid for all your hard work and effort. The stability, speed, and the incredible improvement in battery life that your kernel has provided my phone has completely blown my mind and I thank you for it. I really can't believe you are only 15 and created such a marvelous piece of work, I can tell you have some bright days ahead of yourself, keep it up.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Thanks man! I'm glad you like the kernel :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
Yawn I'm bored where's 6.0 lol j/k buddy
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
My battery is decent but I have no idea how people are getting over 12 hours...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Lol try a different governor
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
I've been using ondemand.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
I use smartass
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tonycpsu:
I use TUN and CIFS, and the apparent lack of TUN support in Matr1x 5.5 is a bummer. TUN VPN connections provide better separation of remote and local hosts, and I'd rather not switch my OpenVPN connection to TAP if I don't have to. I hope TUN support makes an appearance in the next Matr1x release.

Re: NFS, I'd rather use that over CIFS, but I haven't had any luck mounting NFS shares from my Nexus S even with kernels that say they support NFS. I tried to dig into the problem a bit but then gave up and fell back to CIFS.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yep. Bummer.

Stick with cifs for now ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
+1

I really hope TUN can be integrated to the kernel.

Thank you mathkid
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Lol ill see
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
Yep, me too want to know.

I have cm7 nightlies, smartass V5.5, 1GHz and at most I can have 8 hours of battery life. My NS4G is 1 month old.

Please share the tip.

Thanks

I recently had this question asked in my other thread. Here's what they suggested:

Lowest screen brightness, only sync gmail, turn latitude off, 850mv on 100 and 200mhz, dark wallpaper or no wallpaper and turn wifi off when not using it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] debh945:
I'm also using Shabby's battery tweak set at 1000 defaults and On-Demand governor. Getting at least 12 hours from my battery with everything syncing (gmail, k-9 mail, fb, twitter, over 200 texts/day, etc.)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Oh yeah I forgot about that :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
Perfect, I'll try does settings tomorrow, let you know how I did.

Thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Ah ok, sweet! ;D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sactownbwoy:
The biggest killer of battery is low signal. In 29 Palms where I work I turn off 3g because all the buildings are nuclear fallout shelters and 3g signal is very weak. If I leave 3g on my battery will be dead in about 2 hours.

Now when I'm out and about

I can make it a whole day (~12hrs) with 3g on, k-9 syncing 5 email accounts, skype running, yahoo messenger running, web use, weather syncing every hour, latitude running
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chewbz:
This is off topic but I saw you won a sensation, good man. My buddy has a sensation and I'll definitely recommend your kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Haha thanks. First let me get it and root it :P
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
I'm amazed that people ONLY get 8 hours. Makes me what your doing/not doing correctly. I just left work, phone has been off the charger ~10 hours now. Battery is @ 72%. I text and email almost all day, surf the web on lunch and used GPS for ~15 mins. I am connected to wifi while at work and I know that helps but even if on days I forget I usually end around 62-65% instead of 70-75%.

I'm on the ACS 2.3.5 ROM with 5.5 cfs. I have a dark wallpaper, lowest brightness settings and bluetooth, gps, sync all turned off
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah, it also depends on your rom
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
I was running CM7 last week and had the same experience... maybe a % or 2 difference. Getting under 10 hours seems crazy to me
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JarffVC:
Kid thank you for your amazing work!

I am on CM7n65, matr1x v5.5 cfs, shabby's battery tweak with custom settings, no wallpaper and the green power free app (configured to leave wifi alone) and am getting bloody phenomenal battery life and phone performance.

EDIT: Something else I should mention is that I turned bln off and found that notably increased my battery life. Now I only turn it on when I've got my phone sitting out next to me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Hahah now everybody calls me kid! :D

But cool, that rocks! ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
Haha. Blame Mikey he called you kid first. :P
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
lol I should hahaha
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
I will feel guilty deleting that post right now. Haha.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
No fights ;D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
Pretend that post is not there. Haha. Okay, I give up. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Lol hahaha :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Haha, sorry kid ;) didnt know everyone would start callin ya kid.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blozout:
Unfortunately I'm one of the unlucky folks getting crappy battery life with this kernal. Running latest MIUI rom. Losing about 10% per hour, have wifi on (as I normally do) because reception in my area isn't so great. Was getting between 20-24 hours with MIUI & CM7 however using older versions of the Matr1x kernal. Booo. :(
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Well use v5.5 of Matr1x with cm7 xD
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Or try kushdeck
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
Shabby's tweaks...how difficult were they to do?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Its just a script modification
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chappy824:
Try latest miui with matrix 5.0

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Well you should try v5.5 since it's more stable ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chappy824:
Only for 1.4 IMO. Maybe its just my phone. I like 5.0

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Haha ok :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
I've been on 1.44 for a few days. I got a couple reboots @ 1415 mV ... still at 1425 ... one at 1440. No reboots since late morning on 1.44 MHz @ 1450 mV.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Oh ok, yeah whatever works for you lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] enik_fox:
Much more stable than 4.5 and 5.0 and wonderful battery life. Not as fast as some other kernels but you can't put a price on stability.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Ah ok ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
Are you on cocaine? Lol pls tell me a faster kernel.... I know nets isn't.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] HareyCarey:
Trinity. However, Trinity is based on performance and is more aggressive because of the oc bus speeds. Matr1x has a good reputation and stable builds that are quick, his kernel is no slouch. He just focuses on other aspects of the build as well instead of pure performance, which is a reason I switch between his and morfic's pretty often :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] z80mob:
Great job mathkid95, thank you :)

latest nightly CM152 and 5,5 cfs
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] enik_fox:
Only when I can afford it... And It varies phone to phone. Just because this is fastest for you doesn't mean anything. Every phone handles things just a little bit different. Netarchy actually gives me the best benchmark and real world performance but I get much better battery life with Matrix. Trinity hates my phone sadly... Reevaluate what you know ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Oh ok ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shott3r:
Beginning to wonder if I have to return this phone. I lose ~10% an hour in standby. Running renan's version of GRJ90 with Matr1x 5.5. One Gmail and one Exchange push turned on. GPS and wifi off, screen at minimum brightness while at my desk all day. No real signal issues, heck I can get 4G at my desk if I want. Battery has just never lasted more than 12-14 hrs. I see people saying they can go two whole days without charging. What do you think? In the screenshot below I'm already down to 70%, and you can tell the display has been off most of the time.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
Doh! I feel like a dummy now lol.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
Ohh.... thanks for sharing the info
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Shott3r, maybe your brightness might be too high
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
Also you might try a different rom. I know when I ran a stock rom with this kernel battery life was not that great. When I changed to decks newest it improved. Also if you are running bfs kernel try cfs.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah, try those 2 things
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] yangers:
How you get trinity working in your phone?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I think morfic is helping someone out in his thread with that same issue. You can check it out and see if you can get it working on yours ;D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sigaiser:
Agree 100% with low signal being the biggest culprit of poor battery performance. Found out last two days first hand...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Are you on 4g?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] enik_fox:
Nice to see we have people as chipper as yourself on the forums!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
Everything has still been solid ... thank you... perfect behaviour...great work
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sigaiser:
No, not on 4g. Its limited in my area...not that 3g is much better with my phone.

Example, today, in 13 hours off charger, 22% with no signal. And this was surely why my battery was down to 6% with wifi, bt, and sync turned off.

I wonder, short of airplane mode, a script could be written to lessen the toll a low signal takes on the battery?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Have u tried shabbypenguins?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jjhrrsn:
Mathkid what rom do you use with your kernel. This kernel is giving me my best bench 3.5 on devnull 1.1

*edited
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jjhrrsn:
Sorry new user couldn't edit for 5 min lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Right now I'm on nscollab haha
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jjhrrsn:
Thanks been using your kernel since 4.0. came from netarchy and tried Trinity. Best results with yours and only one that's actually let me oc above 1.2 stable. Finally registered although had Prem app for a while. Thanks for your great work. Came from iPhone and absolutely love this community
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Thanks man :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anomalist:
mathkid, my compliments. great kernel. with a bit of OC, i was able to get my quadrant score to over 4400!

I'm running the 5.5 BFS build, by the way.

I am having one small issue, though. When the screen is turned on, I experience a small flash of green tint on the screen, over the lockscreen/background, it goes black, and then it fades in as normal. I tried rebooting, and I am still experiencing the same issue.

The only thing I have found that stops the issue is by turning on the "screen-on" animation, AKA the "TV-On" animation. I personally would just prefer the screen to do the near-instant fade that I'm used to, but I can't seem to figure out why I'm receiving the green blip on the screen.

If there's anything you can think of that might be causing this, please let me know. I'd love to continue using your kernel, and I don't want this to be the only thing that soils it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Can you try the cfs version and see if it helps?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sigaiser:
No, but I am thinking of downloading setcpu and employing the smartass governor. I know I have read you advise against creating/using any profiles with your kernel, but what other settings would you recommend, if any. Or just set to smartass and let it run.

Thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I usually run it with ondemand at 1200 max and 100 min.

Ondemand is the most solid governor for me, in addition to the performance governor
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
Better than interactive? In what ways if you don't mind?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I have never ran interactive lol so I don't know
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
My experience on 5.5 CFS

Kid, good stuff you got going on here. I switched from BFS to CFS and my battery life span went from 13 hours (18%) (Using BLN) to 18 hours (No BLN) still at 25%. :) You rock. :)

CM nightly 65. On demand Gov. 1200/100. Mathkid/CFS. Wifi off. 3G on 24/7. Syncing 2 gmail, 1 pop and 2 exchange. Lookout security. Fancy widgets weather sync 2 hrs. No BLN. (I can live without the BLN but may still try it later on. )

Some programs with animations are a touch slower but I favor the battery life over the performance of my Big2 card game. ;)

Anyhoo, thanks again and keep up the good work.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wetrabbit444:
Honestly I've only had the kernel on my stock rom for 30 minutes. Reason I flashed it is because on stock kernel my extended battery would die very quickly...like 10% in an hour. Playing with the phone constantly now for half hour n only down 2%. That'll be 4-5% an hour compared to 10-12% on stock lol thanks kid!

Edit- that's 4-5% constant use for an hour...normal screen on/off use on whatever stock settings came with the kernel I should get mass improvement
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Haha wow! That's great :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wetrabbit444:
Yeah n that's first charge after wiping battery stats so...well see!! But i expect nothing less then spectacular
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wetrabbit444:
Kid! One more question..do you recommend lowering the voltages n if so how much?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I actually lowered em already, but you can go maybe like 10 lower?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
mathkid has something awesome in store for everyone tomorrow :)

His new kernels are better, if that's even possible.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] teshxx:
OK guys. I have been using Matr1x (non bfs) for almost 17 hours with solid performance. I have no lag, no reboots. The only negative thing is the battery life and that's due to the constant(as in anytime you have notifications your menu light turns on and stays on until your notifications are cleared) on notification (menu) light. I lost ~30% while I was asleep (6 hrs).

I will update this post upon testing some more. Hope this helps. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to ask.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Oh man, I didn't think bln would drain that much battery. I usually keep my phone charged at night :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pierre1321:
Running smooth so far, kinda like The matrix boot img. Just wish it was a little more clear, kinda blurry.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
haha ty ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tony1208:
Lol I'm getting 3725 quadrants on cm7 ...not does it mean much....

I also have that issue of the soft keys staying on instead of blinking with bln....

Besides that this kernel kicks ass on cm7....I'm using the cfs version ...

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Oh hmm.. can you check ur settings in bln control pro?

also ty :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
kernel updated!

1.3 as well ;)

But yeah, smartass, 1.3, 1.4 hahaha
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joetemp75:
I just installed the new kernal for cm7 and it is only at 1200 max cpu

edit its there just have to do it through setcpu
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] teshxx:
taking a plunge in 1.4
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Been running 1.4 bfs and smartass gov. since last night and my phone has never been smoother :) Battery life remains to be seen, but Im sure itll be acceptable.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] decalex:
Rt on - thx for info. Like ur spencer quote! :)

and awesome work on the kernel dev man.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Brutus2TheMax:
Question. Do CFS builds tend to get better battery life then BFS builds?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Each phone is different. Its hard to say what will work better on your phone.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
Thanks Math.

Just burnt this kernel with Sav-Zen rom and I'm curious to see. I'm sure everything will be good.

I ran the 1.2mhz variant with cm7 and all was good.

Ah OK lol. Will keep as is. Thanx!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
haha yeah :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anomalist:
Unfortunately, running the CFS kernel didn't fix the issue. Have you heard of anyone else with the same problem? I'm willing to try a few different things, if you have any ideas.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] warriorforgod:
I tend to try and lower everything by 5 or 10 and let it sit for about 24 hours. If no random reboots happen, I lower again.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wetrabbit444:
How much lower are those compared to default
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Haha ok cool!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bender_123:
Random reboots, not so random...

I have narrowed an issue down on my phone. i have been experiencing "random" reboots with MIUI and Matrix, so I tried stock and Matrix (both on GB 2.3.5)...same issue. So to round it out, went with Stock/stock, no problem, stock/Netarchy same problem as with Matrix.

After keeping track of things for the week, I have narrowed the reboots down to always within a minute of pulling my headphones when I enable Voodoo, but disabling Voodoo, no issues.

Is there something different in GB 2.3.5 for the NS4G that borks Voodoo sound drivers and causes reboots?

Based just on the control situations I tried, i am coming to think something is screwing with Voodoo controls...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I don't think so, the update really was for fixing the wifi
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] snandlal:
@ mathkid95. I sent you a pm
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
Hello – I was wondering if anyone could comment on using the interactive governor vs. ondemand for this kernel… What have your results been? Speed, battery, etc. Also, is anyone using screen off profiles?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
I believe this is related to voodoo color.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wetrabbit444:
Can someone explain to me how this kernel clocked higher then stock is less battery consuming?

Because its a crazy idea but its truthful. I'm using less battery with the same.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Idk lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I'm sure mathkid has the phone to clock at a lower rate more often than stock. Example: stock probably sticks around 400 mhz lowest during screen on. Whereas Matr1x probably runs at a lower rate more often, but is capable of pushing that extra juice...when needed. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wetrabbit444:
I still think it's a voodoo thing...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I really dont know hahaha....
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sigaiser:
Thanks again for the info. I have it running now...see how it does.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Thanks sigaiser, please let me know how it goes ;D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
I wonder if matr1x gets better battery than stock while it's actually running at top speed. The savings might be due to the time it's spending on lower (undervolted) frequencies.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
It might, you should test it and see ;D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
I just might.

It ought to get at least an hour with cpu_min=1200. ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Hahaha yep ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] LiuAnshan:
Been using Matr1x for a while now. Using 5.5 and one of the recent nightlies. I got about 18 hours today off of a full charge. Got it set at 400-1400 smartass. Cell standby and media and display seem to be taking about half of the battery during that time with various syncing and whatnot taking the rest.

I'm pretty happy with this. Getting good battery life and its very snappy.
