[HTC Sensation] faux123:
DURING SCREEN OFF, WIFI Goes to low power modes to save battery... but there are 2 different power saving modes:

PM_MAX == maximum power savings for wifi... it barely keeps the connection alive using minimum Tx/Rx power and long update intervals (poor ping performances)... This save lots of power for the wifi chip.. but an unfortunate side effect is that things require fast ping time and high throughput wifi such as Skype and few other real-time communication apps, the lag and the reduced bandwidth may cause issues...

PM_FAST == slightly better power saving mode compared to FULL ON mode. Still maintains fairly good ping performance and throughput but at a cost of battery of course....

So unless you need to use Skype or other apps requiring higher wifi performance.. just leave it as is... For those of you wanted a better performance when screen is off.. then you know what to do...

stubborn governor

I have installed ARHD 6.6.3 with faux kernel 005.

I have read that intellidemand governor should be very good but it always goes back to default ondemand.

I have tried with setcpu and system tuner pro and after each restart it goes back to ondemand.

On some thread I have seen that I should try couple of times without turning set on boot on and therefore I have not done it.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] johnlasx:
Wipe cache+dalvik and reinstall the kernel alone.

This should fix the problem.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
I can attest that a fresh install of Faux kernel alone will solve your governor problem.

[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
First of all: Thanks for looking into it!!!

Secondly: WOW! :eek: :eek: To be honest: I had my phone in my pocket and I wanted to make a call and I noticed that my phone was off and I had to restart the phone. :confused: So I'm not quite sure what I did but I can tell you that I don't use any mem killer installed nor did I use any kill all command. That's if I knew them in the first place! ;)

Uhm..... :confused::confused: I do like tuna but not in this way! ;)

LOL! :D

Sounds like I need a super wipe! ;)

Ok! ;) No problem....

I'll try to get you the complete log again! :D
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
Same thing for me : my phone died alone, it happens once a day and it seems that happens when my battery is between 70 and 50%.

There's no last_kmsg to look into after reboot.

I superwiped one week ago, fresh install ARHD 6.6.3 and faux 5b3 and faux 6b2 since yesterday and no changes, the phone is shuting down when I'm typing a message, during a call or in my pocket.

No Leedroid Tweaks installed, no supercharged script, no camera tweak during install.

build.prop isn't showing processor information

Hi! just got a lil bit curious about something but couldn't figure it out by myself and maybe here you guys could give me a hand :D

Today i wanted to take a look at what chipset model do i have on my phone and I've noticed that in Settings > About Phone > Hardware Information > Processor i got 1.5 GHz dualcore but in build.prop the line that is supposed to give that information reads ro.product.processor = 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8660 Dual-Core. It's pretty obvious they don't match and if i made any change in that line is not shown, it keeps saying 1.5 GHz dualcore no matter what. However, if i change a different line, like RAM info, it's reflected in about phone straightaway.

My questions are ¿Is the kernel the responsible of this "overwriting" thingy?. ¿is there something we can do to get the control of this build.prop line back or can we edit this somewhere else?

Thanks in advance guys
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Sorry Faux, I know I promissed you the file but I can't get you the file as I just had another reboot and the file is simply not here.

I'm on ARHD 6.6.3 as well and running Faux kernel 6b2. I do have LeeDroid tweaks, bat mod and HQ camera mod installed without the supercharged script and my phone shuts down for second time in a couple of hours.

Also, the battery drain seems really high after such shutdowns. It went from 45% to 23% while typing this...

Perhaps it's best for me to go back to v5 for the timebeing! :D
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Yes the kernel is overwriting this.

You can edit it here, where I already edited it to reflect the cpu speed your phone booted with (cmdline_khz) rather than using a fixed value.

https://github.com/showp1984/bricked-pyramid-3.0/blob/master/arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock-8x60.c#L925
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Thank you very much for your answer. Will look into it.

EDIT: could you please enlighten me a bit on how to do it or where can i find the file/line i have to edit? im feeling like a total kernel-noob right now:o. thanks again
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
I have the same drains as you get. But it is more or less always the case when you restart your phone. It shows a high percentage when restarted and it drops quickly to the real juice amount.

Faux, which files do you need to look into (other than last_kmsg) ?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
I linked it for you ;)

It's source code, so you would have to clone faux's source and recompile.

Here is the exact line/file/path from faux's source:

Is it short for:

Seriously though, you have really raised the bar on knowledge sharing and I appreciate your efforts. It goes well with open source.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Thanks :)

show-p1984 actually is taken out of the movie 'Startup' (Antitrust), my 2nd most favorite 'hacker' movie. It is a reference to George Orwell's book '1984'.

My most favorite 'hacker' movie would be 'Password: Swordfish'. Why? Well you can answer that yourself :D (I just bought the DVD+Bluray for that one pool scene with Halle :eek:)

Random reboot this morning faux!

Using OC to a Max of 1.18GHz and min of 384 MHz using intellidemand. No UV or Tweaks on my ARHD 6.6.3.

Think it might not be kernel related due to the last line, looks like a bad SD problem? Will get a new one just in case...

(If I get a new SD will I have to install cwm 4ext or something like that on it??)

Thanks for nice kernel faux! Using 006b1 btw!

Thanks to baadnewz for the investigation and bring up the differences in the thermal throttling configurations.

I have created an optional thermal throttling configuration file FLASHABLE via CWM. If you want to squeeze out a bit more performance at the cost of additional heat. This file will let you do that. The file can be obtained from the OP

[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
Soo

Can we use this MOD on another 2.3.4 rom like mikes?
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Ah, agreed not a good solution, may I ask how an app can read the CPU temp, on LG2X I found the file under /cpu_freq/cpu_temp, but on the Sensation I can't find it?!

I'd really like to add the temp reading to my app so we can easily monitor/record what's going on!

Just tested without the file and the deamon killed, no overheat, but not charging like yesterday.

Antutu gives me a good 4977 with standard core configuration and 5358 with permanent dual core! Awesome!

Tried the 1.78GHz kernel, either Antutu disappear or the phone reboots! At 1.67Ghz scores 5786!

This file should be updated when installing the kernel to match its OC capabilities to ensure stability (particularly when charging), but not my call anyway.

No misunderstanding, it's just that I (we) don't want to blow our device, as this file obviously protects the CPU from burning :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH faux123 and baadnewz for getting to the bottom of this with us! Now we can get the best performance out of our device and your kernels!!!

All we (I) need now is a way to read CPU temp ;) Sorry to insist again on that, it's already a great kernel already! That way I can record temp/freq during heavy load and/or charging and determine acceptable values to build up updated thermal files!
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Nice one! That's cool!

By the way, once I installed your mod, I'm able to use the original versions! So I manage to try 1.78GHz kernel as stated above, but could only run @ 1.67GHz safely so far, but without charging battery!
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
my patch is universal :D It should work with all ROMs.
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
How much heat are we talking is it safe?
[HTC Sensation] formula91:
Benchmarking in the freezer. AWWW YEAH.

Haha, jk. "Safe" is what you want to define to be safe. Will your phone instasplode? No. Will the average lifespan of your phone go down? Possibly. Heat does stress internal components, but it's hard to tell with phones because phones are supposed to go with you in whatever conditions you can, and they are designed generally with that in mind.

The phone will throttle down when it approaches dangerous temperatures, but faux found a few of the settings a little too low and therefore moved them up.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Yeah, let's benchmark with phone in the freezer @ 3GHz! I'll submit my score and get #1! :D

Anyway, I think by "safe" he meant what's the highest temperature the CPU can take before shutting down! So knowing that value will allow adjusting the deamon to keep phone stable in all circumstances.

I believe it's Baadnewz who adjusted those values in the modded kernel. Original kernel files didn't have those files.

faux123, first big thanks for the kernel! It's blazing fast.

One question. At 1.512GHz the two kernels have the same frequencies (bus, cache, etc)?
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
Check baad's ROM

Sent by my feau gee
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Up to 1.566 GHz, the two kernels are the same, beyond that, the 1.782 GHz kernel will have faster CPU clock but L2 and rest including L2 bandwidth are limited to the 1.566 GHz version.

That's the reason I didn't go beyond 1.782 GHz, because it would suffer major diminish returns
[HTC Sensation] HannoSLM:
hi faux,

i was very happy using 1.5 ghz kernel with coredroid - definetely a noticeable boost in performance. Anyway I decided to try the 1.7 ghz but device was rebooting as soon as sense loads ...

looking forward for your feedback
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Not ALL PHONES are created equal :( That's the way it is... Nothing can be done about it.
[HTC Sensation] NV30:
Probably your CPU simply can not work at this frequency.
[HTC Sensation] zx34:
I am also on coredroid and the 1.7 GHz is rebooting, so maybe it's ROM related!
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Not rom related. Some handle it. Others don't.

Has anyone else seen this ? Ive noticed this only when I flashed v0.9 and now on v1.0, I've used 2 different ROMs the 2.3.5 and also Revolution.

It does it at 1.5 or even at 1.2 clock speeds.

Just trying to figure out why this is happening, any help will be greatly appriciated

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
Well that is a graphics issue, and v0.1.0 has GPU overclocks. I think your GPU can't handle the speeds there for it is artifacting and causing these effects.

Or is it because I've installed Facebook Messenger?

I just did a 4.5 hour test and battery life is OK for me, 5% (including rounding errors) drain in that period. I'm on HNS-2.5 with v006b2
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Takes a day or two to settle, give it time....
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
flashed 006b2 on my gf's sensation. Everything is working great, including Sweep2wake. Thanks a LOT for including it. One minor glitch is the install needs to disable HTC's screenshot mod in build.prop otherwise sweep2sleep causes a screenshot.

I manually changed the value from "true" to "false" rebooted, and everything is working perfectly.

Dont need the HTC method when we have the ICS method for screenshot (Home plus Volume - for 3 seconds)

FYI - battery life is incredible for me. Entire reason I have this on my GFs sensation, need excellent battery. Easily makes it through a whole day (13+ hours) without any mid-day charge. All depends on usage, especially screen.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
any version above final 005 without sleep2wake function? its nice but i dont use it :I
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Hi Faux,

I just had a reboot. Here is the last kmsg file for you: http://db.tt/hrJG0zTb

At that time I had 25% battery left so I'm not sure if the reboot was caused by the kernel or because my batt was empty.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Haven't heard or talked to faux bout this issue /possibility , but I'd hope he adapts a interactive install (or dif versions) to select if sweep2wake is enabled, and if capacitive buttons light up when pressed to wake..... As everyone has different taste, but we all love intellidemand :)

It's fauxs choice, ofc. I just love being able to use both bricked or faux and I can have my preferred method of wake ;) GF certainly doesn't mind, she's all about intellidemand but having s2w us a HUGE bonus in my eyes .....

Hi guys, I just woke up to an extremely overheated phone; it was literally scalding to touch after I left it charging overnight. Never had this happen before. I'm hoping it's due to a Buddhist meditation app I installed last night but I'm still posting here in case anyone happened to have the same experience.

I was unable to get the phone to respond to any touch or buttons including the power button, so I had no choice but to pull the battery and let the thing cool down while I did my morning stuff.

I'm on 006b2, ROM is VI 4.0.2 and I did do a kernel reset before I flashed this. Battery Monitor Widget logs show no abnormality, and unfortunately I don't have System Tuner Pro.

What is your battery temperature on these kernels?

Here's my temp on v6b2, first one is when I noticed and second is few hours later with constant use..
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
I'm afraid I've become totally useless as a kernel tester.

I can't find anything wrong, or even iffy with 006b2.

Battery life? Excellent.

Bluetooth? Stable, predictable and fast hookup.

Speed? Aside from slight hesitation on wakeup (which is fine), running stock setup is as fast as phone can run, no hiccups.

Stability? Not a single incident, no reboots, crashes, shutdowns.

Temps? Running cool.

We may be as far as we're going to get.

PS. Sleep to wake? Don't care either way. It works, it's kinda fun (thanks Show-p) but I forget it's there, so it doesn't do much for me. I wouldn't worry about going nuts with Aroma installer (or similar) just to dump it. Hurts nothing, I haven't seen it affect battery--if it does, it is miniscule.

P.
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Please, please do a kernel version without this swipe 2 wake. I am still on ver. 005 because of it :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
If you search, faux posted scripts to toggle swipe to wake.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
it was Show that posted those files, and they don't work on the latest beta. Faux said he'll implement in the next beta/release.
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
I agree with almost every point except One point: battery life. This has never been an issue on Faux's release but I "only" get approx. 17 hours with a full charge. With the other releases I could easily get almost 2 days with a full charge... ;)

But then again with this release I also have LeeDroid Tweaks installed but I don't think those tweaks would drain this much battery..

Don't get me wrong as I'm not complaining. It's just that I'm used to that battery life. :D
