Here's mine for tonight

2.4 Beta 3 on 3.6.4

Hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Wake Wake

this is beta 3. i didnt try beta 2

Lost %7 in 9 hours, airplane mode via .2.4 b3.

%2 better than b2:)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

[arhd 4.1.5 FAUX 0.2.2]

Ok,

I thought I would just take a step back in time and try 0.2.2

The awake syndrome is still there. :eek:

The 2 solid awake bars on the right were when the phone was off.

So,is it the ROM and not the kernel?

I have attached a logcat ,if that helps.

For anyone struggling to get the logcat working,download Terminal Emulator from the market.

Type:

logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

Then type it again until there is no # in front of it,and off it goes.

Volume + c will stop it

:)
[HTC Sensation] d_matt20:
Sorry I'm kinda new to this but can you explain how I can calibrate my battery myself thanks
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Sorry for my noobness,What does 33 I/O mean?I tried to search it but no result :(

And which value of the "I/O" is good for battery and how to change it via sysfs?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
it refers to GPU I/O (input/output) fraction. i dont know what it means or how it works. all i know is that 33 seems to be stock default and faux recommends setting it to 50.

it can be set in the init.post_boot script. do you know how to edit / add lines to this?

otherwise use fauxclock app but it can be a big buggy...

hope that helps
[HTC Sensation] TommyBeretta:
Where to download the laTEST betaaaaa :D ?
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
I don't know where the value is.:(

If i know where the value is i'll post the command here;)
[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
hey faux which i/o scheduler do u recommend for your kernel? using arhd 3.5.4
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
deadline is recommended:)
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
What do yall do airplane mode for? Just testing? Because the phone is pretty much useless with that on correct?

Charged both of my Anker 1900ma battery last night.. Flashed 0.2.4b3, testing today with gsm only at work, with data set to not allow always on, with two small work breaks through out the day... Will post results this after noon... I think its a pretty average good way/day to test..

[HTC Sensation] gs111:
The battery drain problem seems to centre around the CPUs and sleep states, so they have been using airplane mode to reduce the number of variables...
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
echo 50 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl/msm_kgsl/kgsl-3d0/io_fraction
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Thanks!

And i've read faux's thread,he said that 50 is only used for underclock,33 is for 1.18G or above:D
[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
Not only for testing, but also while I was asleep.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
where did u find that info? ive not been able to find that anywhere! :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
faux,

testing on your settings / radio you suggested earlier. drain seems much better but still a bit choppy.

why should radio make a difference to phone sleep / drain?
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Faux said so in one of his posts...
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Well mine battery has settled since initial awakes. I think this beta 3 is fine too

:D
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Yes,

Radio makes a BIG difference in battery drain

. Kernel has NO control over radio power usage... so if RADIO is draining... there's NOTHING kernel can do to STOP it...
[HTC Sensation] zyonee:
Just switched radio from 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 to 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 and switched to the corresponding RIL files. BIG improvement in battery drain in my opinion. I'm currently using SENSEaY XE35 2.0.0 with faux 024b3 running 192/810 and 50mV UV if I remember correctly. IO fraction is set to 50.

:)
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
So far for four hrs no wake issue. Remember I'm inside a fuel tank so no reception. Pretty darn good I say.

[HTC Sensation] gapper100:
Hey Faux,

I just saw on Twitter that HTC released the source code for the Sensation XE- and Sensation XL-kernel today. Are these of any use to you? :)
[HTC Sensation] zyonee:
Not bad. I hope it will be useful to improve the current custom kernels.
[HTC Sensation] mamdouhn:
where on twitter????
[HTC Sensation] gapper100:
@HTCDev: Six source files released today at: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
OK, but how do you explain the fact that your kernel 0.2.3_r3 wasn't such a power hog ?

The radios were the same and the drain is really different between last stable and the last beta...
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Hey Faux,

It looks like the drain has slowed down quite a bit now for me on the latest 2.4 beta. I do have one problem, whenever my screen times out with the camera on the phone does not wake up forcing me to pull the battery. It's pretty annoying. I just replicated it again by going to the camera app and pressing the power button. Instantly reproducible.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Kernel makes a big difference as well as you experienced.

Kernel and Radio each can make significant impact on battery life.

My point is that if RADIO is draining hard, I can only fix 1/2 of the problem since Radio is a standalone device and kernel HAS NO CONTROL over it at all. Both are equally important to overall device power management, and we ONLY have true control over 1/2 of puzzle, the kernel.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Yeah this is a KNOWN issue. Make sure to exit camera before turning off the screen!

Quick update:

Found a few nasty battery killing bugs in existing KGSL driver from HTC. Gonna squash them to squeeze more power out of them.
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
I'm running the 2.4beta3 with ARHD 3.6.4. I just tried to replicate your issue, but my phone comes straight out of sleep mode, no problems....

Start camera app, power off. Then hitting power again brings up the ring-lock screen. Are you running a different ROM?

UPDATE: Spoke too soon. It worked the first time, but the 2nd time I tried it, she locked right up.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Yep Latest stock T-MOBILE HTC Rom
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Hope those bugs being removed improves battery even more.
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
Sorry, I updated my original post... The first time was fine, but then I tried it again and it locked right up. I see Faux is saying "known issue" so I won't do that again!
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
ok thanks faux. i'll make sure mike knows as his suggested radio is the newer one which was giving me the bad drains..
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Is zram enabled on latest beta? I'm seeing 0 swap.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

How's things. :)

I have to agree,my zram is not being shown.

Swap is all zero.

:(
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Currently disabled... will be re-enabled as comparison for battery drainage near the end of beta :p
[HTC Sensation] konsti23:
Sorry to bother you again... your link of v0.2.4 beta v3 leads to faux123's page. But there I can't find the link of said beta. Is it hidden somewhere? :confused:

[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
good mate, hows u?

what radio u using? did u see my shenanigans earlier with radios and battery? might interest u as u basically live next door to me!!
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Funny thing is I know I am ALLL the way over here but I too have better results with 10.14
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes ,I always get apprehensive when it comes to radio switching.

But ,as I say to everyone,read and follow the instructions to the letter,and you will be fine.

I take it that you were successful.

We will see if your overnight shows any improvement.

I've been on this radio for quite a while,and very rarely had any connection problems.

I did not realize that it could drain battery.

But I showed that even going back to version 0.2.2 last night showed the awake problem.

I'm just wondering if it is something in the ROM??

Anyway,I'm testing 0.2.4.r3 tonight.

We shall see.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Another good way to test this would be do a NAND and go back to the previous version of the ROM itself and see if the issue exists. Then put the latest kernel on and test again.

If it doesn't exist in both situations that answers the question :)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
i was wondering if it was something in the rom too, were u seeing the same problems as me?

Before radio switch

After Radio Switch

Note that the after is during the day so not all sleep usage, the before was overnight. will do an overnight tonight (duh!)

u using the radio mike suggests for ARHD?
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
I'm using mikes Rom and radio so mines does have awake but not a lot of drain of battery
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
which rom u on?
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
3.6.4 clocked at 1.188 uv -25mv

going well so far
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Due to recent issues with battery drain for 023 kernels, I have moved up the time table for 024 Open Beta (I was going to take a vacation from sensation but I kept getting dragged back due to battery issues).

Remember, OPEN BETA is NOT for everyone and your FEEDBACK is very important to the rest of the kernel users, so please report as accurately as possible.

Treat the OPEN BETA as CM7 nightlies, which means I will accept reports of issues here, but I WILL NOT respond to any requests for features.

When reporting

ALWAYS state

: [ ROM: ARHD 3.6.xx ] [ kernel 024 build-03 ]!

So here it is:

1.56 GHz NoHz => http://www.multiupload.com/1I78OG6PLH <=

Version 0.2.4 (Beta, ETA Don't even ask..., Official GB2.3.4)

< 01 > (Internal)

< 02 >

NoHz RCU (for battery test)

ZRAM disabled (for battery test, will be re-enabled in FINAL 2 builds to compare)

Intelligent OnDemand Governor (battery saving CPU governor)

-- Built-in Screen Off profile (like SmartAss)

-- Built-in Thermal Management (like thermald) <== NOT YET implemented

-- Built-in Web Browsing detection <== NOT YET implemented

-- Allow tweaks of screen-off policies via sysfs interface <== NOT YET implemented

Disable BCM4329 wake irq when stopped (battery saving fix)

Re-order PPP packets in PPPoLAC and PPPoPNS (VPN bug fix)

PLL clock training with higher frequencies for better stability (stability enhancements)

GPU 2D scaling (code is there but NOT ACTIVATED yet)

< 03 >

Introducing GPU 2D scaling governor (Enabled, completely original coding from me)

-- now it will scale from 145.455MHz~200 MHz depending on usage (this should save additional battery while screen is on).

< 04 >

Intelligent OnDemand Governor (battery saving CPU governor)

-- Built-in Browsing detection (enabled, completely original coding from me)

(this will limit cpu clock to max 1.0 GHz while browsing web, book, email etc)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
thanks faux, will test now / overnight.

why only enable 1ghz for web browsing? (just trying to learn)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
ARHD 4.1.5 / 0.2.4b4]

Thanks Faux, Installing now.

Also thanks for being nice and informative to us / for us. Compared to other kernel developers.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
+1 my fav dev!
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
[IC 3.4.0] [0.2.4b4]

Sorry if this is newb question but is it possible to UV with OC Deamon? Also, with the new Intelligent OnDemand, should I NOT be setting sleep freqs?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
It isn't possible with OC Daemon but you can enter the values manually into init.post_boot.sh and have it do it for you.

@danmarson posted way to do it via a script on page 313/314

by putting this below in a script file and putting it in init.d

#!/system/bin/sh

[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
the lag may improve when zram is enabled

I will try b4 for battery which is important for now
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
sorry its HERE posted wrong link! :rolleyes:

EDIT:

or do what Kohr-Ah suggested, either will work
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
LoL

I just added the undervolt setting to init.post_boot.sh myself but I don't know if all roms have that or not.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
ok to me this so far looks like people on:

sense 3.0 ARHD = laggy

Sense 3.5 ARHD = Smooth as a kitten

that about sum it up? tell me if im wrong??
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Please disable ALL OCDaemon tweaks. The intelli-ondemand handles ALL cases screen on/off... Lag is introduced by all these "tweaks".

Later on I will release another version where I will rename my intelli-ondemand to an different name so these "tweaks" will not affect it.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
How to disable this "tweaks"? :/
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
I'm using daemon controller how do I disable it ?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
If u use system tuner u can disable OC daemon.

Faux is it ok to use max setting for screen off?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
random reboot i think.

looked away for a while and phone was on simlock??

last kmsg attached. (i need to learn how to analyse these)
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
There's NO need to adjust ANYTHING. Everything is handled by IntelliOnDemand governor. Keep it default @ 1.566 GHz and EVERYTHING will be managed.

[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
ok thanks. ive used up all my button clicks on u today :p

so one cpu clock was stuck causing reboot? that a kernel issue? :(
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
same installation procedure as before? do i have to install 0.0.6 first? is this compatible with android 2.3.4?

and is there performance difference between mainline and enthusiast? what do you recommend installing?

cheers m8 thx for all your hard work!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Says no performance difference between the two. I'm going to flash over. 06. Going to try right now. Thanks faux.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
@faux123 thanks, this all looks superb! I'm still missing VR scheduler but well ;) Not a must.

Can you include frequencies table in the first post?
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
i think his statement on first post "theres no performance difference between the two versions" is stated to the stock and uvolt kernel. But we dont have any uvolt kernels from him on our sensation but on other phones they have one.

so this is just a standard notification for uvolt and stock
[HTC Sensation] htcsensation:
ext2 is allowed? coz cant run debian on it...

Dear Faux,

I am using the Gingerbread Keyboard from thoughtlesskyle, when I flash your Kernels (tried 0.0.6, 0.0.8 & 0.0.9) the fonts on the keyboard become small. Flashing stock kernel returns them back to normal size. Could you please look into it?

Sorry, I'm willing to let things settle in and like to work with the latest kernels but Beta 4 (with all external control disabled) is unusable.

Yes, it is fast, but everything is jumpy. I'm going to have a seizure if I try to use this for even a short time!!!

Beta 3 was actually working very well for me, but I can't even test Beta 4.

Looks like stoned hippies under the strobe lights at the Filmore.

Back to Beta 3 for now, will jump in for the next Beta for sure.
