Hey also as i mentioned earlier the camera app kept increasing in battery consumption even when shut of, so i made some research and figured out what the problem is.

using spare parts, battery history in the other usage tab select sensor usage the camera is still On, and refreshing this shows that it is still running, even when no app is actually using it. this was the problem on the cyanogen camera and on lgcamera free/pro from market.

if anyone can confirm this by restarting their phone, turning on the camera app, turning the camera app of by force closing it to make sure its of, then go into spare parts and check at regular intervals to see if the sensor is still running.

- Doesn't the kernel control how the sensors work and if so is it possible to ensure the camera sensor is shut down when no application is using it, without having to restart your phone.

Edit: sometimes the camera stops, sometimes it doesnt, maybe not force closing the camera makes it shut of the sensor

Are you sure Signature verification was turned OFF in recovery?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] dm6939:
I am using Void forever, kernel Fserve goldenleaf-110915 is the best for battery life i have ever seen. 2,7 days. But its have a bit issue, that is Camera (stock 2.3.4) not working, it have preview function only, can't take shot or recorde video.

Has anyone can explain this or fix this?

Many thanks
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Ghostface22:
will do!!!! thx for that response and btw i appreciate your work alot man you should set up a paypal donate account if you dont already have one! thx again
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ChEtTeDeBoEuF:
I've the same problem with camera
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] dm6939:
And have a issue, that is why any roms 2.3.4 can't receive files via bluetooth (except using "Bluetooth files transfer"), its can send files only. Has anyone can explain this?

Many thanks.

I have the same issue with gbsv18.

Mik's cm7 6.5.7

EDIT : I used camera360, it had the same result when using cyanogenmod camera.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Ghostface22:
i flashed mik's 6.5.7 and camera is working perfectly, thx to fserve
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] deniso177:
I have finally figured out what exactly the problem is.

Its so simple.

For some reason force closing any app that uses sensors, like camera, maps, compass etc closes the program, BUT, leaves the sensor running, and only way to stop it is to restart the phone. This of course drains a lot of battery as the biggest battery hoggers are sensors and data/wifi.

Basic lesson from this, once again Do Not Use TASKILLERS, or in my case the force close back button press in cyanogen development settings.

Hope this helps and reduces false bug reports
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Garuxa:
This problem also occurs in devoid? :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nd4spdbh:
so this camera problem happen in older version of gbs... ie v14 15 16 17? or does this just happen with the latest gbs v18? or is this just a problem not related in any way to this kernel? and its only caused by force closing the app?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] fserve:
It's not kernel fault.

Try devoid or mikos cm 6.5.7
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nd4spdbh:
thats what i thought, running cyannommatt and never had any issues with the camera.

like stated v18 cfs has the small bug of not showing memmory used.... other than that bat life has been awesome!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] kapitanbasa:
yeah its not kernel's fault. i've flashed every kernel fserve dealt out to us, the camera bug seems to be rom's problem...mine is mik's 6.5.7cm7...but there's a workaround. i downloaded lgcamera and camera360 for my camera needs...all works well...especially if you tweak down your overclock max to 600.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] fserve:
The strange thing is that with my p500h (3.2mpx), camera work with overclock...

well,

kernel updated on the first page with mem info bug fixed.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] eeee616:
Good bug fixed :cool: My camera work 480-768 smartassV2. Thanks ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] logo_32:
New Sith Lord..!!

I confirm my camera worked too with 768 OC..!! :)

Btw, i will retire from testing goldenleaf for a week or so to test the update from germany.. ;) Goldenleaf is a pretty fresh project and still comparatively one of the MOST STABLE ive ever seen.. :) I guess your releases are pretty darn stable in itself... i mean apart from TINY bugs, its ROCK SOLID.. :)

You are not an apprentice anymore... you've earned your badge of a SITH LORD i guess..!! :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] androidmeda:
Same issue here. But I'm not force closing anything. I believe the bug here is when any Camera starts using the sensor. I noticed this happened once I started using Smart Rotator, which selectively allows which app rotates.

I can confirm that the same happens when the actual auto rotate setting is turned on for the whole phone. The sensor doesn't stay on until a Camera app is opened.

I am now in the process of seeing if it stays on after using with the rotate turned off.

Kernel or rom, either way, is there any way to kill the sensor manually from terminal? Rebooting the phone each time after using the camera will be a bother.

Edit:

Ok sensor stops when I back out of the Camera if auto-rotate is turned off. It stays on when rotate is on completely or used by SmartRotator. I still don't know if it's kernel or rom related.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] deetailed:
I had that camera sensor issue while on one of the gbses, forgot which version. Wasn't patient enough to look for a workaround, so I just installed Camera 360 and froze the native camera. No problem with wakelock after that.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] krishnandu.sarkar:

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 32bit:
In sprite of newer versions goldenleaf-090911-1 is the best. Great performance and smoothness, prolonged battery life. All newer versions of goldenleaf and GBS are cool, but not better, imho.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] kapitanbasa:
im on gbsv18a right now and still silky smooth here. however, im noticing it slightly drains more than the previous goldenleaves...or i am just imagining things. anyway, im still one of fserve's and franco's rabid fans!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] androidmeda:
gbs.17 still. It seemed like 18 was breaking my automount script... but I reflashed, went back to 17 and repartitioned to ext2 from 4 at the same time so I don't know if the partition had anything to do with it. Taking a break from flashing now. Starting to get addicted, it's affecting my day to day. Lol

Keep up the good work!

Hi Fserve, I have noticed this bug...

On Mik CM7.1 6.5.7 + franco.Kernel.v19.4-gbs.v18a bfs/cfs

The bug appears when the phone (3G net) goes roaming with data roaming disabled and then returns under my provider's antennas coverage. Occur that the data connection, even if correctly displayed on LCD, it isn't really operational: to activate it I must switch to airplane mode (also 2-3 times) or re-select the provider. Also sometimes it won't returns at all under my provider remaining locked (data and voice) on the roaming provider, then I must manually set the phone on my provider...

This doesn't happens with the good old plain FK V16.1 bfs/cfs.

I have tried switching kernels many times before reporting this... Cheers!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] krishnandu.sarkar:
Well, I guess doing battery calibration was a wrong decision for me. Earlier I used to get more battery life. Now it's decreasing like hell :(

I'm on Mik's 6.5.7 + GBS v18a BFS.

Anything that I can do now??
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] gkarthik16:
Give some time for the ROM to get accustomed to your kernel. Check over a period of 2 or 3 days and then report back.

does it happens in goldenleaf kernel?

strange thing is, that version goldenleaf-090911-1, does not have tinyrcu...

I will try some tests. For now, i've changed from code sourcery 2011.03 to linaro 4.5-2011.09 and i got some drop in benchmarks. Next version will use regular rcu with the good old code sourcery compiler, just to test.

Works for me, and works fast.

Dont forget to wipe cache/dalvik cache!

I dont support old versions, so, no download links on the first page to old versions. Just search in the thread for the old download link.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 32bit:
Yes, sure: http://www.multiupload.com/UDPFALXCW4

Here is my favorite v.090911-1 and having tested all newer ones I can't find a reason to use these newer versions for now. Only if you're chasing for a skyline.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Garuxa:
Same problem here. Sometimes not works and sometimes it works but way too slow (My laptop takes a long time to connect) This does not happen with kernel 19.4-cfs by franciscofranco.

Using CM7 6.5.7

:confused:

EDIT: I did a wipe cache/Dalvik-cache and continues with the same problem. Even tried a fresh install but the problem persists.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ferossan:
What is the problem exactly? Can't be set it to work as hotspot? Or it works but other devices can't see it? Or can be see it but not connect to?

In my case, using void. #forever and goldenleaf-110919 can set the hotspot and my laptop can see it and connect to.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nd4spdbh:
it seems to be like its a problem with dhcp server on the phone.... it took a LONG time for my laptop to pull a proper IP / respective DNS IP so it could get out to the internet. (this was on gbs.v18a cfs)

the latest goldenleaf 110919 works without issues. (and im having awesome battery life with goldenleaf so im sticking with it for now)

I've tested goldenleaf and franco.kernel-gbs.v18a no problem with tethering at all.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] deniso177:
I have had this problem when i had v15, didnt think anything of it, it just took a long time but eventually connected, i downloaded wifi teather for root users from the market, that was a bit faster, but i didnt mind the wait from the stock wifi teather. If its possible to increase speed using kernel that would be great, but wifi hotspot does work, just needs patience.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] maip:
First of all, thank you fserve for fixing USB transfer.

Could someone clarify what

"Recharging with phone off fixed. (Ps. mik_os cyanogen based roms doesnt"

means?

I don't get the second part. What is Ps., and what doesn't work on mik's rom? Recharging with phone of, or the PS, whatever that means?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] fserve:
Hmm.

"Ps." is like "Hey, look at me" =)

mikos cyanogen based roms have a feature to: if the phone is off, when you plug the charger, it will power on the phone. The normal behaviour is to boot a system only to recharge phone. But mik has disabled it.

SO, if you use devoid.#final this recharge while offline will work. if you use cyanogen, will not work.

Thank you for poiting out at a bug that doesn't exist ;-)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nd4spdbh:

Hey I realised that goldenleaf kernel has a bug with the volume key. Everytime I press it during videos or camera, it would crash freeze then reboot please fix it!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] gkarthik16:
It may not be because of the volume keys. The camera app in CM7 is ****ty. Not sure what ROM you're using. And downclock your frequency. It might be a kernel panic.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] orsonbear:
Goldenleaf + roaming = TEST PASSED

Tested Mik's CM7.1 6.5.7 + goldenleaf v110919 about roaming

It seems the roaming stuff is OK with Goldenleaf. Only once I had to select manually the provider when the radio signal went to zero coz the phone didn't locked any provider when the radio signal went up again (it happened only once, all other times when the signal was lost the phone always caught the right provider when the signal gained strenght). BTW the phone won't remains improperly locked on a roaming provider anymore, that's good!

ok, so I've installed the Goldenleaf .v110919 kernel ..

presently running mik_os's 6.5.7 cm7 rom .. 480/787 smartass ..

too early to say for sure..

but i think im experiencing around 2-3% drain per hour .. when the phone is not in use ..

will check it for a couple of days and see for sure..

also, i've installed this theme:

So guys,.fserve...what's the best fserve or fserve-enhanced kernel out there? From v18a, im back to gbs v17, just for fun. Silky smooth still, mere mortals like me fail to notice the difference!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] raylgo:
How come your kernels mess with my link2sd setting? o_0 Franco's kernel doesnt...

This has happened before. I can't remember which versions those were but it would result in the apps stored on the partition would try to run from the internal memory and those that can't suddenly disappear. Stuff gets moved to the internal memory even though they wont fit... :confused:

I panicked and gave up during the first one and thought something went wrong with flashing. So I restored from a prior backup. The second time and third time, I messed with the link2sd settings (something about linking lib files, dalvik files, and whatnot) and got it fixed after a few reboots in between.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DaXmax:
Hey fserve, why hotspot is not working? 19092011 version im using.... Anyone has this problem?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] fserve:
i'm using v18a. franco made a good job with this one. i just have changed the buggy vr to noop iosched, and another minor thing. v18a is the best .32 kernel for p500 :-)

about theme and battery drain, i dont know, sorry...

about tethering, it works with all the newest kernels, check your rom.

about a2sd, darktremor stuff, i use that, so it works on the kernel.

about camera and volume keys, well, it works, check your rom.

Real bugs with newest goldenleaf/franco.kernel-gbs = 0

When you sleep, turn off data/wifi/sensor. Switch to 2g only.

Get System Tuner and force your processor to 480 when screen is off.

Try a non-3d theme.

And check spare parts to see which app wakes up your phone a lot.

Quick question, where do I ask about tun.ko? Here or in my ROM's discussion thread? I can't seem to make OpenVpn Settings to work.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] gkarthik16:
Hope you don't forget that this is a smartphone :p

But users here are more concerned about battery life with normal use. Not like only 10% drain for a whole day just because you disabled everything.

Even with normal every day use, this kernel gives the best battery life. I was able to get more than 30 hours with moderate to heavy usage, which is more than sufficient for a 'smartphone user' like me.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] deetailed:
For me 2-3% per hour is while I'm active :p

Rather than me repeating what people had already written, just follow the tips in this article: http://androidunderground.blogspot.com/2011/08/make-your-battery-last-longer-without.html

Of those, only undervolting isn't possible to do on our device. And I use Green Power rather than Juice Defender.

I'm back from Phoenix to CMMatt+gbs now. I will miss some of the functionality Andy had put in that ROM but with my work having lot of field duties these weeks & next month, battery life while still being connected to the net is crucial. Taking a rest from flashing until Sunday, then I'm gonna try the great v18a.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] kyerie030:
Make sure remove maps if you are not using it. If ever it runs, it runs and eats. :P

At first the battery will drain rather quickly especially if you just flashed the kernel in about a day. After 1 whole day of usage, charge your phone, do a calibration. Our devices usually take a day or so before you can experience the fruits of the battery. By the way, leaving your wifi on for 30 minutes while turning on and off the screen checking for messages eats your battery like crazy! :mad: I was on the computer and had my wifi on, checked my messages every 5-10 minutes, I lost about 10% in just 1 hour, and I wasn't even using the internet.

By the way, I'm using goldenleaf #4 110909 i think. :) thanks for this fserve. No bugs on mik's 6.5.7 as far as my usage is concerned. (Well, the volume bug is there but it isn't kernel specific anyway so... :P)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sujitmohanty2012:
ya...me too! quite satisfied with battery life with normal usage also. I was suggesting him some changes I made to make sure that partial wakeups r reduced. the major advantage of this over other kernels is battery doesn't reduce much in sleep state. but one data is enabled, batt. drains a little faster. but overally i am very satisfied. fserve rocks!
