Random reboot here

Using Faux 004b4 no UC or UV, just leting the ROM work by itself.

I attach last_kmsg report so you can check, no errors as far as I see, maybe Battery/SD related? Just nuked ROM with SuperWipe + FW + ROM + Kernel again 2 days ago so any idea about this?

Maybe corrupted data on SD, lack of energy influx to the device (battery problem) or to the SD (connections problem)?

In any case if it's battery I'll have my Anker 1900 mAh in 3 days so I can check myself, otherwise I may get a Tester just to check voltages myself :P

Here goes the link:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7641719/last_kmsg3

PD: Repost from ARHD thread, just in case it was kernel related to let faux give an eye on it, as he said me to nuke everything if it happened again ;) Hope not Kernel anyway :D
[HTC Sensation] orymd:
i've problem of random power off after using phone like navigator in htc car cradle and plugged into charger... yesterday was the first time i used my phone in the same condition but with latest arhd on it... seems all fine... testing...
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
No errors detected

It's not kernel error :(
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I will look into car cradle issue when I get a chance. I don't have a car cradle, so it is very difficult for me to test :(
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Kernel 004 is official
[HTC Sensation] orymd:
faux, when i'm on GB I had a stock rom... i didn't have the problem only if i used the phone with full battery... i want to see if now, ARHD and your kernel, this problem disappear :(
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
Thank you. :) Any changes from beta 4? Also, is there anything cool you can tease us with that you'd like to implement in v005?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Same as beta 4 if you are already using beta 4, no need to update/upgrade.
[HTC Sensation] orymd:
I want to hope on USB OTG!!! Faux, you're the one :P
[HTC Sensation] Jump1ng:
Will there be a mainline version of Kernel 004?
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
I think I got the problem, damn AOSP Theme I was using... Nuked all again and won't install any more Themes ever... I'd like to remove Sense and keep that pretty "Nexusish" look but if it's imposible to make it work correctly with ARHD + Faux's Kernel I just won't!

Keep the good job and hope you have something cool for next 005, you know we look forward to it and expect the best :D (As no more bug fixes are needed, just improvements!!! :D)
[HTC Sensation] jc monkeyballs:
It's been a couple weeks, but I read a post from Chad where he said he would be willing to write the module for ONE of the custom kernels, but not all. I think your kernel is clearly the best.

What's the harm in writing Chad a PM and seeing what he says? :cool:
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
No, since beta 4, I have added a lower power step for gpu so mainline and ultimate differences are negligible. From now on, I will release ultimate only until I found new features for ultimate.

[HTC Sensation] chaosblack1991:
Sorry for being such a noob but I just installed this ... I reading some of the post from earlier but I still don't understand what to do. I downloaded current widget and I see my current widget reads 146mA- 178mA sometimes a little higher is that good? another question am I supposed to do anything else besides just installing this kernel? Also I was just on VI 4.0.1
[HTC Sensation] alfadog77:
Faux! The MyTouch 4G fourm miss youuu :p. Well atleast you're doing great here! :D
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
Hi Faux,

Using version 4 feels faster and have not had any issues yet. Thank you!

Would this kernel also work on a regular sensation?what would be the max and min frequencies for it?
[HTC Sensation] cozmer:
is "Version 004" good for AOSP ROMs? Is it ok for CM9??

thanks
[HTC Sensation] takuhii:
I too would be interested to know if 004 works on AOSP, as it follows on from 001 which did work ;)

[HTC Sensation] asesino:
Only way to find out is if you flash it.Nand back up and flash away.Whats the worst it could happen.......

Should work with no prob.

I'm running VI which is kind of an AOSP ROM and 004 is running flawlessly.Give it a go.
[HTC Sensation] takuhii:
Cheers matey ;)
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Do note that the senseless roms are not essentially asop but asop themed. They are HTC based roms :), of which you could of course flash the kernel in it. Hope that clarifies :)

Sent from my Sensation running HyperNonsense v1.5
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Of course it will work on a regular sensation, why it wouldnt? Xe and non xe phones have the same hardware,the only difference is a bigger battery in the xe.

Regular sensation is underclocked to 1.2 ghz, this way htc made an "improvement" by releasing the same exact phone clocked @ stock speed 1.5 with a bigger batt and name it XE. Marketing BS.

Available freqs, exactly the same
[HTC Sensation] joemoss:
This kernel is working great on my ordroid rom
[HTC Sensation] u8800:
First of all, tnx for a great kernel!

I'm wondering one thing do, I'm running ARHD 6.6.1, how low can i underclock to save battery, but still be safe? Systemtuner got an alternative that lower all speed with -12, 5mV, so 192MHz gets 800 mV and so on. Is that an ok solution or what should I choose?

Thanks again!
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Every phone is different. You need to play with it a bit to find out your own "optimal" settings.

How I would do:

UV to some setting,

Stress CPU - then run Linpack, multithreaded bench until thermal throttle (you will know you are thermal throttled, because benchmark score will be low), let it cool down,

Stress GPU/CPU - then run Nenamark2 over and over again until thermal throttle, let it cool down,

Stress CPU/Memory - then open many FLASH heavy web browsers and spend at least 10+ mins on them viewing flash videos....

Test for SOD - then do nothing for 1/2 hour (minimum deep sleep idle) let the phone deep sleep then wake it up...

if all of above working without SOD or insta-reboots, then it's a solid UV, then you can UV to the next level and rinse and repeat....
[HTC Sensation] u8800:
Aah, great. Thank you so much! Not only is the kernel good, the support is to!
[HTC Sensation] kairi_zeroblade:
hey faux your updating again? was getting a great battery life with the v003..darn..1 day and 16hrs.. :D darn great.. :D
[HTC Sensation] HeXDeMoN:
Faux love your kernel, rock stable with amazing battery life.

BTW sent you a PM the other day, is it possible to make the capacitive button back lights stay on based on the screen being on instead of being based on the light sensor?

Someone pointed me to the direction that its controlled by the kernel.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
so.. as far as i understand it is recommended to use oc daemon together with the kernel? if i don't use it, the kernel will have no effect? where do i get oc daemon from, maybe there is a thread somewhere on xda where i can get more information concerning that tool? or maybe you guys here want to help me out :) thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] adiallo77:
Here ya go,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16419842#post16419842

Just scroll down a bit
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Ok, let me explain a little more, OC daemon is some settings file in /sys/etc/virtuous_oc folder which are handled by the kernel automatically to set the various frequencies! It's efficient because no need for an app. On wake-up it "instantaneously" set frequency back to "normal".

Using SetCPU and the likes, a Java app has to receive an event from the system before setting new frequencies! hence less efficient.

There is an 'OC Deamon Controller' UI for that, but I read it doesn't work. Can use 'System Tuner' available on Market in the mean-time.

Also by default the kernel is overclocked (to 1.56 or 1.78 depending on version)! So supposedly you shouldn't need such tweaking app anyway!

But for me it doesn't work, if I don't use a CPU tweaker all I get is a CPU @ 976MHz!? Not sure why, maybe because I use a stock ROM?

EDIT: No sure but you might need a compatible ROM and kernel for OC Daemon stuff!?
[HTC Sensation] Rubman:
Maybe I can also get some help here (this is my post from the insertcoin topic)
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
that's exactly what i thought already, but wanted to have it confirmed again. thanks a lot mate!
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Weird, but you can still do a NAND backup and then try a clean install to see if it works better?
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
U need to apply a previous version first before .1. Better yet just go to PREVIOUS page and just install the one modded by baad straight up

Sent by my feau gee
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Just save yourself the trouble and do the wipe. I wiped, flashed IC 2.4.0 with baad's modded faux 0.1.0, and didn't run into any problems. Just take your time and flash one thing at a time, and fully boot up between each flash so that the rom can settle. It should be fine that way.
[HTC Sensation] Rugga:
Internet pass-through doesn't work either... we need to wait for the HTC source code.
[HTC Sensation] Rubman:
I didn't flash the one edited bij Baad, but the original faux one (outcome problems and bootloop)
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
What's actually different with Baad's modified version, I too use it and got less issues with it!? Original was supposed to work for stock ROMs too?
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
It's says nowhere that the original works with stock. Read the OP.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
V0.1.0 test results - expected?

Hello,

I've installed v0.1.0 modified by Baad, cause original didn't gave good results: scored 3500 max and reported CPU @ 976MHz on AnTutu!?

Now it accurately report 1.56GHz, but what I find odd is that depending on CPU settings I get very very different results:

- Performance governor: 5339

- Ondemand governor, forced dual core: 4093

- Ondemand governor, std core setup: 3943

So it seems (contrary to what's said in post 1) that forcing dual core helps get better perf, not much or might just be testing...

Also, it seems to me the ondemand governor is quite crappy, no raising frequencies when CPU load increases!? Can we get a more effective governor in a future version?

I suppose changing the ondemand bias/up_threshold could help too? But I don't know how to do that safely!?

Or is it simply AnTuTu not loading CPU to its fullest? Kinda add!
[HTC Sensation] eyegor:
Someone said that USB tetheting works. Well it doesn't for me on LeeDroid 2.4. Not with 0.0.6, neither 0.0.9, nor 0.1.0.
[HTC Sensation] jolaren:
Where is the download link? And does this really beat a stock 2.3.4 native kernel?
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
I'm using internet pass through right now and it works, going to try tethering and will get back to you

Edit: yes it appears tethering doesnt work. everything else on the usb menu does work tho. guess its not too bad as we have wifi hotspot
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
i want to share a problem originally posted by vladnosferatu in the insertcoin thread. at my device i got the same problem. you can see my setup in my signature, i'm not using any other tools/addons. the way i installed:

1. super wipe sensation

2. flash insertcoin 2.4.0

3. boot and setup

4. recovery: wipe cache & dalvik cache

5. flash Faux0.1.0_ondemand_1.56_GHz_Sync_L2.zip

6. boot

7. finished setup, restored apps via titanium backup and configured everything

now i made what vladnosferatu posted, i performed a full benchmark with "cf bench" while the phone was connected via usb. in adb shell i typed:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

when the phone is not performing any heavy tasks, i get 1566000 as result. but while the benchmarks were performing (heavy cpu load in that cases i guess) the output goes to 1134000.

i did not use any additional oc tools like setcpu or oc daemon.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
That would explain the very low benchmark I noticed too, except when manually switching to Performance governor! With Antutu using default settings, no oc tools, it reports a CPU @ 976Mhz or so! Looks like your pointing out the issue!

I did a test with the 1.78GHz kernel version, started Antutu with default settings, then went to look at scaling_max_freq file: back to 976Mhz! So I forced it to 1.78GHz: bang system reboot! It's like if things go unstable (or too much heat?) CPU goes back to lower frequency by itself!?

Every OC kernel I used seems to result in the same low benchmark results! Lower than stock kernel!

Except when using Performance governor, which I don't want to use, CPU frequency stays at 1.56GHz all the time!???

Faux123, any ideas on that?

EDIT: Just found that on ARHD 3.0.4 thread, a thermal deamon seems to be running to change things:

[tsens_tz_sensor0]

sampling 5000

thresholds 60 75 85

thresholds_clr 57 70 80

actions cpu cpu cpu

action_info 972000 648000 384000

The 972000 I very often read in Antutu! So it's an overheat issue!? Kernel drops max freq automatically! Hence the unstable results we're all experiencing!

By the way, where can we get a reading of this sensor?
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
use 0.0.1 yesterday and took it off because i notice that when i hit broswer its slow to load up pages even the market. Now that i have it off on stock kernel everthing is fast again i dont know but for me it was making my data connection slow
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
On insert coin 2.4 and can confirm when playing fruit ninja CPU drops down to 1134

[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
Do i need to calibrate my battery to get the right voltage after i flash this kernel?
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Battery calibration has been proven to be a placebo on battery life by at least one respected member of Google's Android dev team. As far as it's effect on voltage? Nothing to do with it. Calibration really just deletes a history file that has been storing battery stats. Nothing else.

[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Faux I need help :(

It's been third day having reboots, I superwiped, reinstalled rom and kernel plus firmware, have not installed any theme this time, no OC or UV but this night at 6am after 4 hours sleeping and without charger plugged it rebooted.

Even if it wasn't kernel relates can you tell me who to ask or something? It's REALLY annoying :(

Thanks for all.

[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Hi,

I've had a quick look, im by no means as good as faux on these logs but i cant see anything clearly causing the issue. there are some really strange things that ive not seen before such as device entering and leaving resume all the time (some kind of wakelock on) and randomly freezing userspace tasks. I actually dont see any reboots at all!

I dont see any kernel panics or strange battery behaviour, sorry i cant help more :(
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I am not sure why you are having these reboots. you are the only person experiencing these. and as mentioned by hawke84, your logs showed nothing unusual and there are no obvious errors, even the kernel reported no errors... so these reboots were not caused by kernel panics or other type of kernel bugs... your phone simply rebooted with no reason... :(

PS: The only other solution I can think of, is to switch over to Ondemand governor, then lower your clock rate to 1.2 GHz use SetCPU or SystemTuner and set it on boot with those settings and let it run for a while... maybe you are just really unlucky and have a very weak CPU/phone :(
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Thanks for fast answer always welcome.

I can promise it rebooted, at least it goes to white htc then beats then PIN...

I may have to try another ROM just in case :S is faux's compatible with IC or Virtuous? Just to try... :S or maybe is an App??
[HTC Sensation] cozmer:
Faux can this kernel be used with CM9 roms?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
this might sound like a strange solution but try cleaning the sim card or even see if you can get a new one, it might just be a poor connection causing sense to restart and then give u pin request. only other thing i can think of...

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

no i dont think so, there is an AOSP version of this kernel with its own thread..
[HTC Sensation] DANOFDANGER:
Na i think you need a aosp kernel otherwise things like bluetooth and wifi wont work, theres a 004b in fuaxs aosp thread.

Will try to clean SD and so on tonight too... Thanks for help ;)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
i dont know how to clean one either, take it out and give it a rub? :D

its kinda a shot in the dark but as i cant see your phone restarting in the last_kmsg it might just be sense restarting.

anyway hopefully that will sort it :)
[HTC Sensation] kairi_zeroblade:
i plugged it for a minute or two i think as far as i remembered..i need to take the pictures from the SD card as my wife needs them for FACEBOOK..lolz..

but that came from a clean charge from drain..overcharged for about another 10mins and then clean batt stats and reboot..
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
No news, just an update:

Running 004B4 (same as release) since it was available. After testing for a couple of days I just went about my business.

The phone has performed flawlessly. Always smooth. Best battery life I've ever had, I plug in every night and never have to worry about keeping a charger with me during the day.

I have no external controllers running, just a battery monitor widget (which will be going soon, too) and the stock settings do everything perfectly.

Great work, thanks for coming back the Sensation at least for a little while.

P.
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
Is the 004 faux 1.7ghz? I just install it but im only seing 1.5ghz in hardware information
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Default is 1.5, capable of 1.7 -- you need System Tuner to overclock.

P.
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
I see thanks. Actually im try to use that system tuner but i really cnt understand how to use it or set it up
[HTC Sensation] japinder:
Just turn the bars in System Tuner a few notches to the right, it will show you that the CPU frequency has been increased.

Cheers, Jp

Just our of curiousity on the new arhd 6.6.2 my phone when on standy often turns screen on for a few secs then off.

I know its not the kernel fault, but would be nice to see if there was a solution, thanks

If it's not the Kernels fault, why post it in the Kernels thread, if you think it is an ARHD problem, post it in the ARHD thread...
[HTC Sensation] biojo:
becasue i dont know if its the new base and not just arhd. it maybe kernal related, but i used to use bricked, and it was less noticable in day, but again this is random times so could just be that

[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
Faux, I have some questions about underclocking the cpu : when playing games like Angry Birds it sucks battery like hell, but it's not needed to have a 1,5 GHz cpu, it really runs fine at 800MHz.

Would it be possible to have Intellidemand check if less power would be ok for each app (like checking fps in a game) ?

Or would it be possible to have choice between 1,5GHz and 1,2GHz kernel basis ?

Your kernel is really great when the phone is screen-off : today I didn't checked my phone for 4 hours and after 10 hours awake I still have 90% juice !
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Just wanted to comment that the new BT stack is great. It connects to my headset so quickly and without glitching like previously. Good job!
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
I know you mentioned it might hurt power a little bit cause the IRQ, but would you ever consider creating a version of your kernel that includes the slide2wake feature?

Im literally glued to your intellidemand gov as its so efficient and good w battery, but ive also become quite fond of this new method of wake\unlock.

Is there any way to get the best of both world? Just wondering if you would consider it?

Thanks for your time!:D
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
If faux is ok with it then I have a proposition:

I grab his intellidemand improvements and he grabs my sweep2wake ;)

I have no problem with healthy sharing ;)
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Honestly, that would make my freakin day if you both would be willing! :D Both of you guys have created really innovative features in each of your kernels, and its really impossible to choose which to use now (im finding myself alternating back and forth). Having the best of both worlds would make that decision much easier (if not unneeded). Thank you both.....
