My Experience!!!

Ok here is my experience after using this Kernel for over 2 days.

Battery drain is almost same as MDJ's V2. The slightly higher values that I noted in my Current log were probably due to the Call Recorder App running in the background.

I under-clocked it to the 230400-307200Hz in Sleep and 230400-1305600Hz while Awake, slightly lower than what I do for MDJ's.

There was no significant change in the signal strength both for cellular and WiFi.

I just faced one annoying problem after installing it which I am not sure if Kernel related or something else but it happened a few times when I moved into some basement or deep inside a shopping mall and lost cellular coverage. When I came back into the coverage area I noticed that my Cellular Data didn't work. I can see the connection icon in the notification bar but no data in/out.

I had to either connect to WiFi or reboot the phone to make it work again.

So I would say its as good as MDJ's V2 with a lot more frequencies to choose from :)

Great work :)

Waiting for RCMix Rom now :)

Ehsan

PS: Call Recorder App is working great on MDJ's Kernel as well :)
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
2 popular rom at the moment ( i think)

- Android Revolution HD 1.1.2

- Virtuous Unity 1.29.0

@ehsan76

on which base/current rom did u test it ?

is it Rcmix kernel compatible for both rom ?

any recommended/adv/disadv so far (any related to..) to suite with this kernel ?

pls make me clear .... TQ

@klquicksall

and yes, can't wait for the RCMix Rom !!!! of course it's coming with Sence 3.0, is it ?
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
I am following this thread with great interest too. I am very much in favour of this kernel's frequency table over Unity v2.
[HTC Incredible S] qvert:
okay, now i got two random reboot while using im+ and trillian a lot

But i got it with 1ghz and with 1.9ghz i doubt it's clock speed related
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
waiting for the new release :)
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
Me too. Low standby voltages, fixed wi fi with no -88dbm dropout, snappy and fast operation, and excellent battery life...I would pay for a kernel that offers this! :o)
[HTC Incredible S] ehsan76:
I am using VU 1.29.0 but I came to know about this Kernel from ARHD Thread so its compatible with that as well :)

I don't think there is any difference functionality wise.

Its up to you how you feel comfortable and depends upon your usage pattern so give it a try as you can always revert back to the other :)
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
hope this morning/today will hear a good news...
[HTC Incredible S] thkhai:
klquicksall, i hope that u could found the way to fix CRT animation and the key light crash problem on your next kernel version......
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Yes this rom will work with any sense based rom. Yes RCMIX 3D is sense 3 rom. Its almost ready we have a few testers giving us results right now. Im adding the VDD interface on the next release so you can change freq on the fly.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
crt is in the services.jar in the framework of the rom. Which rom is it crashing in?
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Im going to try to tweak wifi and im adding the VDD interface so you can tweak cpu and voltages on the fly. I should release it tomorrow evening.
[HTC Incredible S] SiL3nTKiLL:
nice kernel :)
[HTC Incredible S] jonata:
in mike's rom crt works but if you install you loose backlight .... :mad:

(the crt mod is token from seo's mod)
[HTC Incredible S] ehsan76:
Same happens with Virtuous ROM as well.

CRT patch removes the buttons back light.
[HTC Incredible S] thkhai:
Yup, both roms also got this problem......The button back light will loose after install CRT patch......
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Can you flash crt back after you flash this kernel?
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
i've tried 2.0 for almost 12 hours now, i have to say it's waaay better than 1.0 and 1.1 in terms of battery life. i'm keeping this kernel on my phone (ARHD 1.1.2)

great work klquicksall, also is it possible to add the conservative governor?
[HTC Incredible S] thkhai:
Well, i am using ur 2.0 RCmix kernel & Virtuous Unity 1.29 Rom....

I flashed CRT patch, the result is remain the same, Crt worked very well, but the key backlight doesn't work anymore.......
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Yes I can add a Conservative gov.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
I havent heard of this before. Ill try to figure it out.
[HTC Incredible S] thkhai:
very happy to heard that, hope that can try your new kernel and your nice Rom soon......
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
Great! Thanks mate!
[HTC Incredible S] mike1986.:
When conservative gov will be added it will become default kernel for my IS ROM :)
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Im going to added it today. Im trying to get the vdd inface working correctly. The conservative ill add for sure.
[HTC Incredible S] mike1986.:
Sounds amazing :)
[HTC Incredible S] geeti:
Hi klquicksall,

I guess there's something wrong in your kernel. When I was using your kernel, the weather app can't work perfectly: it can detect the location and get the weather info, but it can't retrieve the city name by location info. It just showed a "current location", rather than city name.

I flashed mdj's V3 kernel yesterday, and it works good now.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
I am using this kernel and current location suburb name is shown. It must be something else ruining your experience.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
This is normally a sync problem with the rom. When he rebooted it synced again. Its happend to me before with my rom you just have to hit the weather to reload it.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
Hhmm, klquicksall is online. I wonder if he is uploading little something. :)

For the future, can you pretty please with cherry on top update the thread title making it more obvious that new version is available.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
How do we access the vdd interface? I can't see anything new in the menu... :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
that was quick with the governor, man i am LOVING this kernel now thanks!!!
[HTC Incredible S] piobeer:
Does anyone have issues with auto connect of wifi after reboot with this kernel? If not I might have to check if there is something specific in my wifi setup.
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
Wi-fi fix?

@klquicksall - Many thanks for the new kernel, but I guess you haven't included a wi-fi fix you said you were looking into?

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
rom

klquicksall ....where is the new rom ?!!:confused:
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
I found a good medium for wifi i think. I'm going to post a beta kernel in post soon.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
I know we're working on a release. Sorry for the delay.
[HTC Incredible S] c33v33:
Thank you. Bluetooth A2DP works great now. BlueZ bluetooth stack works a lot better than the buggy broadcom stack found in the Sense kernels.

The higher bitpool sounds a lot better. And now I can connect two bluetooth devices, one in phone mode and another in media mode without any problems.
[HTC Incredible S] ehsan76:
How to use the VDD interface??
[HTC Incredible S] BWA80:
Hi!

Did you do anything to change the bitpool? I have found no differences in the audio quality.. Still hissy and disordered.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
probably the easiest way to use it is to follow LeeDroids guide
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
I just changed out the entire stack with CM7 drivers. I haven't found the driver with the bitpool info yet.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
I just posted it. Its best to follow LeeDroids guide. I use a mod called viper mod. The dev has it for many phones. I think the INC S is on his list. It basically lets you lower or raise your voltage in the kernel. This will allow your phone to have better batter life if it can handle lower voltage.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
New OC+ kernel up with updated call record apk and tweaked wifi. Let me know if you guys see any difference on wifi.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
Let me get this straight please. The only difference between the OC+ and other release is that OC+ can be overclocked up to 1.9GHz? Nothing else?
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
One minor change to wifi.
[HTC Incredible S] menvert:
I was running ARHD 1.1.2 + RMIX 2.1 with conservative 122000-384000 sleep freq. and on-demand 122000-1228800 awake, on the new radio + RIL overnight, and seems great and zippy, but lunch time today I was freezing up on BioFrenzy game (very CPU demanding) so lowered the wake_max_freq to 1152000. now it is stable again and still performing very well, I do like this kernel :)
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Thanks for the update.
[HTC Incredible S] menvert:
Forgot to mention, this is on the Incredible S
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
What is the change to the wi fi? Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
What is a lean, mean, flying machine? My Incredible S!

I am running 122-230MHz sleep (more like comatose) with conservative governor. Surprisingly phone still receives the messages and such with little to no delay. :-) Also, I'm running 122-1228MHz awake with ondemand governor. Performance and responsiveness are as good as ever.

Earlier today I used vipermod to lower the voltages by 25mV. I used the phone heavily for half a day without any lags, freezes or reboots. Just then I lowered the voltages by further 25mV. Lets see how lean and mean we can get this beast? :-)
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
I lowered the voltage so you should be able to connect at lower signals now. It may not work for everyone but hopefully it will work for most.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Lol nice title. Good to hear. With super low voltage you run the risk ofLoan your phone not waking up. Black screen lol. I myself have it pretty low with no problems. Just wanted to let you know in case it happens. Thanks for the update.
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
Will it still drop connections at -88dBM? This is my main problem when using wi-fi around the house and in hotels.

I want to look in Wi-Fi Analyzer and see connections dropping past -100 if possible. Is this something in the kernel that can be changed, or the Broadcom wi-fi drivers, as has been mentioned elsewhere?

Thanks for your good work so far.

PS Which link is the changed wi-fi voltage - it's not too clear on the first page/changelog etc.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
If ever that happens how can it be fixed? Or revert to default voltage
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
If it fails to wake up, baterry pull out should sort it out. Thankfully phone has been waking up promptly ever since the tweak. Vipermod has a flashable script that reverse the voltages back to standard. Also there is a menu option within the script that reverts the voltages.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
Do you have link to lower voltage and the one to return? I flash via cwm?
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/ is where you will find both files. Incredible S is not officially supported and program informs you about it on every launch. I proceeded with caution asking it to return freq table and voltages which I could confirm elsewhere.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
try the 2.1 oc+ kernel. Ive been able to get -90 on wifi. After that it drops for me too.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
Thanks! Was able to flash and undervolt by 25mv. Will test this out
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
OK, just uploaded the overclock crazy kernel - will give the wi-fi a shot tonight.

Any way to get more than the 2 extra db's out of it? I'm guessing the -88dBM limit/cut-off would have to be removed from those Broadcom drivers rather than in the kernel?

EDIT: Just tested in the office, and still drops at -88! No doubt the hardware is more than capable of exceeding this limit, but there is a software limit in place - so incredibly annoying! Damn the Gingerbread update for introducing this limit!
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
Camcorder

Have come across a random problem.

Sound quality on video recordings has become a high pitched scrambled noise with no discernable audio. Not on every recording, but certainly since new kernel introduced. HD 720 with stereo audio on and off.

Clash with the call recorder audio process possibly?
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Yeah thanks to htc lol.

I'll look into the video issue.
[HTC Incredible S] Raptylos:
With all versions of your kernel, WIFI does not start correctly after a reboot on my phone. I have to disable it, then reenable it to get a connection.

Does anyone have the same issue?
[HTC Incredible S] piobeer:
Yes I have the same
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
I don't. I am on arhd 1.1.2
[HTC Incredible S] Raptylos:
I am on ARHD 1.1.2 as well. I also adjusted virtuous_oc frequencies to match kernel. Maybe it has something to do with the regionally different WIFI channels?
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
I have this problem intermittently for the last couple of days. Happened last night vut not this morning. May be a side effect from this lean voltage diet.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
I can raise the wifi voltage back up. It will probably fix that issue but you will have stock wifi. It will drop for sure at -db.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
When I downloaded and flashed the standard 2.1 kernel some 24 hours ago, there was nothing in the change log about updated call record app or wifi voltages.... Hence Im not sure if my kernel has wifi voltages altered or not. Is there a way to check these voltages?

I was under impression that only OC+ version had wifi voltage altered, not the standard version but could be wrong. Mind clarifying klquicksall?

This intermittent wifi issue post restart was definitely noticed yesterday, whether it was happening prior to that without my knowledge, I doubt it. With all these tweaks, my phone gets restarted multiple times a day so Im sure I would have noticed as I rely on wifi heavily at home as I live in so called nuclear bunker! :)
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Ok i thought people were having trouble with the wifi starting on boot. Yes the 2.1 standard kernel has more stock wifi voltage. I only changed the oc+ but a very minor difference. The intermittent signal is a htc issue.

You're keeping me on my toes today lol.
[HTC Incredible S] Master Darko:
Here is an update on battery life in sleep mode with ARHD 1.1.2 and RCMIX kernels. For 2 nights now I left phone unplugged and monitored the discharge with Battery Monitor Widget Pro.

Settings from 2 nights ago. Freqs sleep min/max and awake min/max were 122/307MHz and 122/1228MHz. All the voltages were standard.

Battery drain was 15% in 4 hours (00:30-04:30) or 3.75%/hour.

Yes, the longest my phone was asleep and untouched was 4 hours that night. That is what happens when you have a newborn! :)

Settings from last night. Freqs sleep min/max and awake min/max were 122/230MHz and 122/1228MHz. All the voltages were lowered by 50mV.

Battery drain over that exact same period with phone asleep was 9% or 2.25%/hour. Baby slept lot better last night. :)

Yes, my test periods are short and I do need to sleep longer but given everything else on the rom was the same for 2 days, there is reasonable evidence that tweaking voltages and frequencies does help battery.

I am tweaking all the sync settings as I can see the regular current spikes (awake times to sync) when phone is asleep. Turns out I left all the sync settings on default. My stocks (stocks I don't have) were updating every 1 hour! :eek:

Unless too many thing change on the phone today (i.e. ARHD 1.1.3 release) I will monitor battery drain tonight again with most of the sync turned off now.
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
Wi-fi

Is any of the devs on here clever enough to edit the Broadcom drivers file and remove/change the reference to dropping connection at -88dBm?

It seems obvious to me now that it is not something to be changed in the kernel as many people have suggested, but in the wi-fi drivers. I can provide links to the code file if anyone's interested (from Desire HD forum).
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Sure thing. Post the link.
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
@klquicksall, here you go. It's a link to a thread I posted several weeks ago to try and get someone to create a fix. The links to the relevant code and various threads on Desire S/HD fixes are all in my post(s).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158031

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
Im going to make the edits and post a test kernel for you guys to test and see if it worked.
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
New test kernel up with some promising results. Enjoy.
[HTC Incredible S] bippo:
WiFi

I known a very happy people with this kernel (DJjay18), because WiFi is really working with lower signal, thanks men, good work indeed!:D
[HTC Incredible S] qvert:
flashed,

looks good so far, i see my neighbours networks now with lower than -90db
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
This should make many people happy. DJ pointed me in the right direction.
[HTC Incredible S] Raptylos:
It made me happy !

I am able to see networks at -100dBm.

WiFi doesnt connect automatically after reboot on my handset, as it was with the previous versions.

But that is a minor issue, with what I can live easily :)

Thanks, mate
[HTC Incredible S] bippo:
DJ

OK, wright, many thanks to DJ also!:D
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
KL, what can I say? You're THE MAN!! my prayers have been answered. Thanks so much for this, i've been asking on this forum for months, and finally someone - you - has come up with the goods!

No more -88 drop outs!

Got down to about -97 in the garden, where it would've simply dropped connection before.

As long as everything else in the kernel works as before, I guess you can include this fix in your main one. Hopefully not too late for Mike to include in his new Rom!

Thanks again. :)
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
YES! WiFi remains connected down to -100 dB. (stutters, but reconnects at -90, did never happen b4). Thanks klquicksall & DJ.
[HTC Incredible S] slym84:
So, which one is the test kernel??? I used your kernel before v1.1 but had some battery drain issue so switched back to virtuous. Now with the wifi fix and users response to better battery consumption, I'll give it a go once again.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
Second post on first page, 2.2
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
no problem. Im glad I could help. So I guess its safe to say I can move it from test kernel to good and stable kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
Of course, but will Mike be able to implement in his next ROM? His thread's all asleep. Night timezone maybe....

--Edit--

WiFi autoconnects after reboot, unable to see bug as reported by Raptylos
[HTC Incredible S] slym84:
Thank you.
[HTC Incredible S] Raptylos:
Maybee it has something to do with the encryption or frequency range you use.

I am on draft n, WPA2 PSK, german frequency range.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
And I'm on B/g wpa2 psk, US bands.... Is that the reason?

--edit--

Hidden ssid too.....
[HTC Incredible S] Raptylos:
Maybe so. There are other users with that issue. It would be good to know, which parameters they use
[HTC Incredible S] klquicksall:
I see it in the desire hd thread too. A very small number of people wont auto connect on boot or it takes a minute or two.
[HTC Incredible S] Raptylos:
I didn't wait that long. I will try waiting some two minutes and report back - cu (sooner or later) ;)
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
good news for the fixed problem...

can u have some time to prepare the new rom release (& sorry for trouble) !..

other thread make me too bored..too much talk !!
[HTC Incredible S] Raptylos:
Yes - indeed, nearly two minutes after unlocking, it connects. Strange behavior. But it is, as I said before, a minor issue. I can just tap two times on my WiFi widget, and I'm back on..(only, when I'm in a damn hurry and had to reboot...LOL )

Thanks again, you are doing a hell of a good job here, appreciate it a lot.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
Great work man! flashing it right now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
I notice that forcing 2g, calls get that kinda pulsating GSM radio interference noise whereas forcing 3g it does not occur!!!

Anyone else notice this?!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
i thought 3g, 4g, 2g or what ever was for data purposes only....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
From what I understand, 4g is 3g, they are HSPA and HSPA+. 2G is GSM. So there are two separate radios in your phone and on the towers.

I just tested this on my phone and can confirm that 3G is a lot less noisier call-quality wise than 2G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zaventh:
Voice uses 3G as well. TMO throttled back 2G a while back to make 3G faster, so using any phone on 2G mode nowadays is gonna suck more than it would otherwise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
if that is the case how come i can turn of my data and stilll make crystal clear phone calls? not saying you are wrong just trying to understand
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
Yep.. 2G / EDGE uses the older GSM data transmission standard, while 3G/4G uses CDMA technology to transmit data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zaventh:
T-Mobile uses all GSM technology. CDMA is something totally different and is used by Verizon/Sprint in the US.

I'm not a radio engineering expert, but the main difference between 2G and 3G is the protocol. 3G uses more efficient algorithms to compress/decompress the audio (and data) signals. This is the primary reason 3G is faster than 2G to begin with. T-Mobile uses 3G for voice, which means that, in general, calls will LIKELY sound clearly and crisper on 3G than 2G, on average. This is all dependent on network conditions, your 2G signal, your 3G signal, your particular handset, and your own hearing capabilities and preferences. But the idea is like an Mp3 encoding... 3G is 320kbps and 2G is 128kbps... maybe sometimes they sound the same to some people, but technically 3G is "better" under ideal circumstances.

But the 2G throttling I was remembering was actually AT&T, not T-Mobile, though they likely have done something to a similar effect by now.

http://www.ofb.biz/safari/article/512.html
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
wcdma is 3/4g
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
my question is if 2g and 3/4g have any effect on call quality, how can i receive crystal clear call quality with my data turned off. im not sure 2g, 3g, or 4g have any effect on call quality
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
None of your voice goes through your data connection. The ONLY way there is any difference is if there is some kind of electromagnetic interference from inside the phone caused by 2G and not by 4G.

As stated above, All voice calls and SMS come through without a data connection at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Disabling data does not mean you disconnect from the 3G/4G network. Turn mobile data off and then look under Settings>About Phone>Status, and look at Mobile Network Type. You're phone is still connected to UMTS/HSPA/EDGE/GPRS ... or whatever other type of network it was connected to. And you're not connected to both 2G and 3G simultaneously. Its one or the other and all data and phone transmissions are sent over whichever network you're connected to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekedw:
+ 1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Ah, fair enough. I was under the impression that voice always went through a GSM connection, whether WCDMA was active or not. Has this changed in the last few years?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Don't think it's ever been that way. Phones will switch from one type of mobile network to another depending on user settings and signal strength, but you're only connected to one type of network at any given time. GSM networks utilize 2G technologies to allow for voice and data, but not simultaneously. GSM networks also utilize 3G/4G technologies to allow voice and data simultaneously.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Here's a good source of info on different technologies used by GSM networks:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
My bad. Thanks for the link though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
When on 2g my speakers of my surround sound and car audio will make static from the phone... 3g doesn't do this. 2g and 3g are different.
