[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi,

Luigiesin just pointed out somehting to me that might be worth digging into...

He wonders whether using SetCPU (or the like) might impeed the 2nd core to be shut down and he asked if I could confirm since I use SetCPU...

Well I have an uptime of ~21h, and here are my CPU times :

So both CPUs account for 100% of the time ... Now does that mean they were enabled all the time ?

Or is a shut down core "shown" as offline in System Tuner Pro ? I thought it should rather be missing...

These are the profiles I use in SetCPU :

(I know, I'm currently testing profiles extensively :))

I'm not complaining neither about performance nor battery drain, just wondering ;)

JP.

EDIT : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll freeze SetCPU and reboot and check if that changes the 100% presence of the 2nd core in System Tuner Pro and report back.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
After 1/2h both cores are accounted for for 100% of the uptime.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Luigiesin:
Hey man... How come you're using Noop instead of deadline for the governor?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Just an old habit from my HD2 times ... it was the safest scheduler to avoid data corruption in sd-ext partition. I just never took the time to experiment others on the Sensation ;)

Btw, both cores still are accounted for for 100% of the time in System Tuner Pro, so I suppose shut down CPU is shown as offline in System Tuner Pro...

Anyone can confirm this ??

Can say there is a battery drain difference ...

JP.
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Afaik it's like this ;) Offline means shut down :) (If you try some build.prop tweaks to STOP permanently second core it will be shown as Offline in System tuner if you are using faux).

Anyway one think that bothers me is why my CPU1 is not shown in System Tuner when I'm using Sebastian's Kernel 1.30.2 (most stable for me), maybe it's because it's been offline 100% of the time? O_o Who knows! (Just saying this because it might be that it's really shut down and different from offline :S Just guessing)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well on bricked I saw that when a core was offline system tuner only showed one cpu, and then suddently the other core appeared / dissappeared etc...

So this is why I believe that offline is different than disabled. Offline is just 'sleep', hence on my HD2 which has only 1 core, this one is offline part of the time, but you agree that you can't shut off the only core there is ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
Been so long since I used Faux..still perfect!
[HTC Sensation] g3n3ral:
is the gpu is overclocked with this kernel?
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Yes, to 320mhz.

Edit: well if you are planning on using the betas or the ultimate version at least.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
Been a while since faux released a mainline
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
He's stated that he'll only realease ultimate editions now unless there are confirmed issues.

Well the gpu oc appears to be causing heating issues for many, myself included, so I hope he releases a mainline version at some point.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You can easily undo the GPU OC, have a look at these posts :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26811598&postcount=6979

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26818927&postcount=6981

BTW, the two line I was talking about are in the script in the zip-file of the first link, here they are again :

echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpuclk

I've done it and my phone is way cooler since then, battery drain is hard to tell, snappyness may have decreased a bit, though.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Agreed. My phone seems to stay cooler with the lower 3D GPU clock, but scrolling on Apex launcher, at least for me, does seem to have lost a little bit of snap. This is on Intellidemand.

The difference is very marginal though, unless you're really staring at it while scrolling.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
My phone seems to hold a cold temp all the time except with intense gaming which is expected :) but even then it never gets as hot as if I had stock kernel.

I thought the speed of the GPU was controlled by the kernel adjusting the speed when necessary.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
I think that's exactly how it works. Though for me, I don't really play many 3D market games. I just play mostly rpgs on FPSe, which stock GPU is more than capable of handling. So I find 320 MHz to just be unnecessary for my uses.

Everyone uses their phone differently though. Some might want that extra juice ready for even they play some Gameloft games or something.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
Ive user your script. How can i check if ir did remove gpu oc?
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
I think this one should be used only to underclock GPU ..../sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk

Use ES File Explorer or similar and goto /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/ and open max_gpuclk as a text file ;)

Edit: The other line in the script shouldn't be used as this is adjusted with the kernel depending on GPU load, if you do I would think this would overwrite the kernels control of it and GPU will run at your set frequency constantly when used causing higher battery drain or otherwise possibly kernel overwrites this valve and so it is not needed again.
[HTC Sensation] g3n3ral:
I'll be staying with stock kernel for a while , I love this kernel but I'm not into overclock thing , I don't want to risk my phone , my be who might know faux will release kernel with stock CPU and stock GPU , that might be cooler and cooler for our phone too
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
You're on xe or non xe? Faux doesn't oc by default, but its capable to be oc'd
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Yep, I thought so, too, when I saw the second line, I think if it's kernel controlled, it should simply be overwritten by it ... Will give a look though and report back,

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I've checked, gpuclk reads the same if I set it at book or not, it's always the same as max_gpuclk.

So ... ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
My max_gpuclk is on 320... and gpuclk is on 177778000 at the moment ;)

Edit: If yours isn't changing, maybe underclocking the GPU overrides the kernels GPU commands.
[HTC Sensation] Super-Android:
Where can i find the download link for Ice Cream Sandwich Version 006 ? Its not present in de first three posts?
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Yes it's in the first post :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Aha ! Maybe we're onto sth here ;)

I removed the lines and reebooted, and my gpuclk is always the same as max_gpuclk ... (320)

So this may be the reason some phones get hot, other don't !?

What your exact config ? Rom, mods, Adreno version ... ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
It pretty much says it all in my signature but I can see you are on mobile.

My config is:

ROM: Android Revolution HD™ 6.6.5 XE by Mike1986

Kernel: Faux123 v007b3 Intellidemand @384MHz-1.62GHz -75mV

Mod: Leedroid Tweaks Sensation v4.3.0 | HQ-Camera v1.5

I am using the Adreno 218 v2 drivers from Ordroid but I don't think this is it as it was the same for me with the 213 drivers. My Mods are irrelevant too I think. I just use a init script to OC and UV my CPU.

I think it mite be your CPU controlling apps interfering maybe?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Yep, I'm on mobile for the moment. We seem on a pretty much similar config, but I do use SetCPU to alter max frq...

But I'd find it strange if it would interfere with gpu oc !?

It's either that or some app I use that requests lots of attention from the gpu ??

I'm using Go Launcher Pro, maybe an issue ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Could be, freeze those apps and check :) But first maybe let your phone go into sleep then turn it on and check it.

Edit: Be carefull when freezing your home launcher as you won't be able to access much if you don't have a alternative one.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Obviously ;) But I think I might take a different path, Nandroid backup, superwipe, ARHD & faux007b3 and system tuner to check ... Else I'd have over 100 apps to freeze...

But I'm sure I'll find the time today, though ...

JP.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
I just meant those 2 apps but I think your launcher at idle shouldn't affect this, just disable SetCPU and maybe Juice Defender if installed as that controls CPU at times I think and reboot to see if it solves it.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
I'm using 006u and my phone stays very cool. I don't do much gaming, but I do a lot of browsing and checking email and such, also navigation and music,so screen is on for hours and not much heat.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
That is more or less what I do as well, but even on 006 I think to remember my phone getting rather hot when screen on as well.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] g3n3ral:
I open my max_gpuclk as text file and it show 320 , if I change the value of this txt file, does it change my gpu clock ?
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Yes if it sticks once saved but will revert back when you reboot :)
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
Hey I'm messing with the GPU speed now at the moment. And for me gpuclk always has the same value as max_gpuclk as well.

[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Curious, but how long did it stay like that? Mine occasionally goes to 177778000, but it doesn't stay there for long.

Have you guys tried using adb to check the gpu clock speed? Mine is very predictable at both 320 and 266 max. With screen on, it ramps up to max right away and stays there, but occasionally drops to 178. With screen off, it drops to 200. So the kernel still is controlling the gpu regardless of whether or not you set the max yourself. This is on a stock TMOUS 3.32 ROM with Intellidemand.

cat /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpuclk

I'm still not sure if limiting the gpu manually has any ill effects or not. I wish there were still mainline releases, but that's up to faux.
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
I'm gonna try v.006 the stable One.... Lets see how it works

P.D: you recomen to make the undervolt faux shows on first post? Or just leave it default?

[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
My gpuclk constantly changes here is a screenshot showing the gpuclk cat log repeating the code straight after another.
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
If I use set cpu to make core go in some speed while is in an app or doing something because it drains fast... While screen is off its perfect but while is on it goes down fast... It's default, I didn't touch anything (voltages, governor,etc)

[HTC Sensation] g3n3ral:
what rom are you using?
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
I'm on HyperNonSense 2.8 with 218 OpenGL drivers installed. Kernel is Faux' 7b3 on intellidemand.

Edit: I also have two scripts in my init.d folder which mess with the CPU and GPU. One sets max_gpuclk to 266667000, the second one under volts my CPU and sets maximum of lmf_active_max_freq to 1.2GHz and two_phase_freq to 900MHz.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Might be the newer Adreno drivers ?

Can please anyone that has changing GPU frq. confirm that he is on newer Adreno drivers ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
I'm testing it right now :). Nandroid backup is made, ROM is installed, ckurrently it is writing the Dalvik Cache.

Edit: Doesn't seem to make a difference. I'll try again with a full wipe and stuff.

Edit2: Argh I didn't install Faux' kernel, another reboot to recovery.

Edit3: Hmm faux has another updated kernel in his androidro.ms storage. I'll immediately try that one :)

Edit4: I'll upload pics in a bit, I'll first have to restory my nandroid backup. In the end it didn't make a difference. gpuclk kept returning the value of max_gpuclk.

Edit5: Added screenshots. And also during testing I took a look at the gpuclk files in the 2d0.0 and 2d1.1 folders, there the values also did not change and stayed on 200MHz

[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
I officially give up on trying to figure out how this kernel controls the GPU. This is my result on 007b3, without any GPU limiting, original GL driver, stock tmous ICS ROM. 320s across the board with screen on.

Whatever. I'm getting better battery life here than on other kernels based on the way I use my phone. I'm sticking with it regardless of what my GPU decides to do. :p
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I totally agree to that :D
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
With all this talk of gpu overclock causing the phone to heat up and all, I have been checking my phones temps lately and realized I really don't have anything to compare with. What are "average" cpu temps? For example, right now I've been listening to music for 30 mins. and in system tuner it says my core temp is 107F, is this high, normal, average?? I'm on b3
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
We're talking

G

PU (graphic processor) not

C

PU...

The phone gets clearly hot on the bottom back of the device, you can feel it being really warm.

Now I have limited the GPU clock, the phone stays cool again.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Right, I understand you are talking about physically feeling the phone get hot, but I'm still wondering what is an average vs hot actual temperature?

Hi Yank, I flashed OrDiod Rom and replaced the kernel to faux 007b4, but I had overed the GPU clock when i installed, I dont know the GPU clock would work in new kernel?

when i use chrome beta or dolphen browser, the screen often gets flicker and mess, would it cause by oc GPU?

How to set GPU clock manually?

thanks.

[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
No. This kernel is for sense-based ROMs, use the CM7 kernel version instead
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I don't think so, I'd rather think this to be due to newer Adreno OpenGL drivers... Look for a thread with updated drivers (218 v2), but I thought those were already included in OrDroid (don't use it, so can't tell exactly).

As for GPU oc disable, have a look at this post :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26893276

Consider only the 'max_gpuclk' line, the other is not necessary.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] g3n3ral:
so this wil work with arhd?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
ARHD is a sense-based ROM, hence yes

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

Chrome flickering is a known bug in sensation sense 4 ROMs (search in your ROM thread, you shall find) due to the new ville base. It has nothing to do with the kernel.

I'm using the newest 2.18 adreno drivers with ARHD (sense 3.6) included in ordroid ROM and i don't have any issues whatsoever with chrome or any browser, though i know what are you talking about because i had them when i was testing some sense 4 ROMs.

tl;dr ROM related

Intellidemand Governor tweak:

Introducing Smart Core Management :D

Automatic offlining of 2nd CPU core while Screen is ON.

Scenarios:

1- While Screen is ON > 3 min, and average load of the CPU is < 35%, then CPU1 will be taken offline.

2- While Screen is On, if average CPU load > 35%, CPU1 will be Online and both CPUs max frequencies will be limited to 1.13 GHz Max

3- While Screen is On, After both CPUs' Max is limited to 1.13 GHz, when the average CPU load has dropped down to less than < 25%, then both CPUs Max freq will be restored to 1.51 GHz Max (then go back to scenario 1).

-- for 3D Games or GPU intensive apps (GPU in Turbo Mode and Load is >= 50%), both CPUs's max frequencies will be restored to 1.51 GHz and both CPUs will be online.

NOTE: DO NOT use BENCHMARK APPS to compare my kernels to others. All those are ARTIFICIAL benchmarks and mostly measures CPU raw performance. If you insist to use those to compare kernels then set to performance governor before comparing for Apple to Apple comparison.

Hi.. now I running with beta 5 and I notice 1 strange problem...

whenever I charge my phone when it reach 92% it just go straight to 100%..

at first I tought it only 1 time but today is my 2nd charge again same thing happen... when battery reach 92% after a while will jump to 100%
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Yeah its normal after a few charge cycles it corrects itself. What I do when this happens when reached 100% unplug charger and then plug back in and should charge for the remainder of charge to be done.

[HTC Sensation] baste07:

[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
I thought there was an issue with the kernel but it turned out that my cable was to blame. As soon as I changed to official htc cable I got full charge power. Might be worth a try.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Clearly a faulty USB cable won't help, but that is not the point raised...

The system will detect AC charging vs. USB charging, and will as such draw less juice if it's on USB.

This needs to be addressed in the kernel ... "Draw more even if on USB"

Even though, if your USB port doesn't deliver enough juice, it won't charge any faster, but powered USB hubs should give enough to charge battery at full speed.

My HD2 charged just as fast on USB as on the wall charger, which my Sensation does not :(

This comes in handy especially in the car !

NB: SetCPU detects the difference (AC vs. USB).

JP.
[HTC Sensation] noodles2k:
Its down to two main factors, how much current the USB port can supply and how much current is needed to power the phone while it's charging.

It's likely the Sensation uses more power than the HD2 at idle.

It's now out of beta :D
