Fine Tuning... more speed less batt...

Hoi,

I do that with System Tuner Pro... oc/uc - ov/uv ...

Greetings,
[HTC Sensation] ganjbass:
After flash 1.67 GHz CPU, L2 up to 1.566 GHz on CM7 SelfKang Alphafied wifi stop working
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Wow, Faux123, Many thanks for the AOSP/CM7 version.

I had installed the 1.56 the other day then tried 1.78 today (I had assumed it would not run properly) and I am luckily holding one that works.

I ran a load of CF/AnTuTu/Quad with the CM7 performance/CPU set to both ondemand and performance. I won't bother posting the random numbers generated.

On observation though, on AnTuTu the Floating Point score is down compared to the S2G as reported, the Integer seems to be up. So assuming the barchart can be relied on, is the Sensation FPU limited by:

Hardware?

Libraries?

Kernel?

Optimisations?

It's not an issue I was just wondering.
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
I'm not so sure that I want to try flashing the 1.78GHz kernel as the heat from my Sensation @1.68GHz is scorching :(
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
No heat issues here. Just a little warm after many benchmarks. I am able to run 1.78 with no problems. Great kernel!
[HTC Sensation] IcOpRo:
I'm running the 1.7ghz kernel but I downcloked to 1.2ghz (I just wanna have that 1.7 there whenever I want to run it) also running UV-75 and everything is butter smooth, and great battery life, and its probably gonna get better once I go through some more cycles of charge/discharge.

Currently at 64% running at 4h12m with some moderate/heavy use, twitter, exchange, gmail syncing, some video playbacks texts and close to 40m of voice calls.

I say that's pretty good considering also thy I work driving around and entering different chains of stores and almost 80% the signal is dead or close to dead.

Just wanted to share, thanks Faux :)

Anyone running this kernel with trips Miui ? Was thinking about flashing it
[HTC Sensation] MR_XXIV:
Good Job bro on building these amazing Kernel's :D
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
If anyone one was wondering I flashed the 1.56 on miui and it works great also flashed the thermal patch as well seems to be working phone is staying pretty cool thanks Faux
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Anyone running this kernel with cm7 noticing high battery drain compared to cm7 stock kernel? I have this one clocked down to 1.5Ghz and get horrible battery life.

Switching back to the cm7 kernel brought an immediate improvement to battery drain. (10 times less!).

Hoping I am wrong, I love faux's stuff!

[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
I'm using the 1.78GHz and score 3478 on Quadrant and 7797 on CF. I have no idea how someone scored almost 4k on Quadrant...
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I will bring UV capability to CM7 kernel tonight hopefully (Completely swamped @ work).

Regarding Battery drains, make sure you don't have a run away background process. Also are you using themes? There are a number of CM7 themes out there which are not correctly coded and often times cause strange system behaviors including extreme battery drains because they prevented the phone from ever entering power saving modes. Remember, CM7 is ALPHA status right now and if you applied THEMEs to it, it may produce very strange bugs. My recommendation is to run BARE CM7 ROM as is until it hits Nightly status.
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
I scored 4k on stock with faux's kernel... its on my twitter page lol
[HTC Sensation] immunityx:
I had this issue as well...also the sense version
[HTC Sensation] soggyflakes:
never mind... found it.
[HTC Sensation] grivad:
This battery business is ridiculous.

I got a new Anker battery over the weekend.. I let it charge up while it's off, boot into recovery, remove battery stats, boot up and let it do it's thing. First run I get ~18 hours of light usage by changing zero settings on my phone, where in the past I'd struggle to get 9 before it was completely dead. Hallelujah, I think, my battery woes are done for.

I charge it while unplugged today for ~6 hours, leaving it still plugged in after the light goes green for an additional ~3 hours. I turn the phone on, and I'm at 50% after 5h of little to no usage. WTH!?

I'm wondering if this is due to the HTC sh*t battery driver and want to shutdown/pull battery/restart, but I'm worried this will ruin the calibration since this is a new battery and I just removed battery stats on the prior charge. Ideas/tips?

EDIT: Looking at battery history in Spare Parts, it's showing me Android System has 5.5h of sensor usage. Could that be what's killing the battery? It just says "Sensor: Android System" -- how do I determine what sensor is being used for what and turn it the f' off?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Apparently there's a bug with auto rotate. Turn that off, and reboot.
[HTC Sensation] grivad:
I'll try, but I thought this bug was for those that have had Gallery consuming their battery..? Gallery's not an issue for me, as you can see in my screenshots. Also, why would this bug not appear in one boot then appear in the next? Is it that inconsistent?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Kernel version 024 is official!

NOTE: If you are already running Beta2, there's NO NEED to update. The release version is identical to beta2.

Time for me to take a break from Sensation :D
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Splash screen bootloop

Not sure if I'm the only one
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Which speed version? 1.78 or 1.566?

Fixed the Extreme Edition: OP updated with new 1.73 GHz version!

Now Extreme edition will share the same benefit of L2 Sync cache up to 1.566 GHz and should be STABLE for most everyone.

PS: I am not into super extreme OC... OC frequencies much higher than L2 Cache speed will suffer diminishing returns and battery life...
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
I flashed the extreme edition but it won't even past htc logo, it'll past then reboot again not even reach boot animation
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Give the 1.73 version a try.. should work for almost everyone
[HTC Sensation] jetfin:
is there any need to deep cycle battery & delete battery stats after flashing a new kernel?

-I'm wondering because after what seemed like a big improvement initially with the latest kernel, battery drain seems to have gotten a bit worse again...

100 to 79 in 2 hours and I'm in airplane mode using wifi...
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
My recommendation is:

1. allow FULL CHARGE OVERNIGHT,

2. then reboot into CWM and erase batt stats from advance menu,

3. then reboot and use as normal.

This should give you the most accurate readings. Step 1 is most important. For most Lithium batteries, the last few % takes the longest to charge but those few % also makes a big difference that's why ALMOST all battery based electronics ask you to FULLY charge the battery overnight before first normal usage.
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
System tuner doesn't work with this kernel? I can't change the clock setting or voltage settings. What app should I use? Faux clock? Set CPU?

Sent from a Fully Unlocked Sensation 4G using the XDA Premium App!
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
!?!? It should.. I am using it :confused:
[HTC Sensation] die_braut:
System tuner working fine here, too.

I'm really curious about the new governour (?) Intellidemand, performance is fine!
[HTC Sensation] jetfin:
OK, I thought I only needed to do this after flashing a new ROM.... (which I did after flashing cm7a10)

anyhow, I'll try again and see what happens!
[HTC Sensation] hoskic:
This 0.2.4r 1.73 kernel is fantastic, performance are awsome, everything is smooth, cf bench never less then 7500, system tuner working perfect. Thnx faux!
[HTC Sensation] mutiny:
This is the first time I've ever deviated from the stock CM7 kernel and I'm glad I did. Not only are the benchmark scores impressive, the phone has never been this buttery smooth. This is by far the most powerful phone I have ever owned. Amazing.
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
Lost 16% in standby in a hour. Never had this kind of drain.
[HTC Sensation] grivad:
faux:

Do you still recommend using your fauxclock settings with this new kernel (max/min clock tweaks, ondemand governor, gpu @ 50)?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Im on the v20 J kernel and am seeing 5mAH drain at night while I sleep and 30mAH drain during the day. Performance is also high on benchmarks and the phone is silky smooth.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] mutiny:
Mine, too. Let it drain and then let it charge to 100%, preferably over night. Then try running battery calibration apps or going to recovery and resetting battery stats. Unplug it and enjoy. It may take two discharge, full charge cycles, but that's just the way it is.
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
That's what I did when I first flashed it, but ill try again.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
Had 94% after 12hours of idle with 3G on, now day after its 15%

5hours wifi on, 4hours screen time (working daily have to put phone in a locker due to privacy rules)

Anker battery and latest faux kernel, clocked screen off 594MHz and 1119? MHz screen on.

(wonder why it differs 1h on the screenshot tho)

Gonna see how much hours it got left ;)
[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
FYI faux. There must be something wrong with your kernel (0.2.4). I used it till yesterday but battery drain was so bad that I'm using bricked kernel at the moment. Battery life is much better now.

I just wanted to let you know. No bashing or complaining intended. We are lucky to have so good developers in Sensation section.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
94% after 12 hours ?? how the hell is this possible ? omg

I've a prob, i've used your kernel with MIUI and there was at best 50mA drain when screen off.

Now i have switched to CM7.1 and current widget show me 3mA when standby...is this possible ? lol
[HTC Sensation] hanlence:
battery drain with the final version of 024, reverse back to the 024 beta 2
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
FYI faux. There must be nothing wrong with your kernel (0.2.4). I've used it 3 days now and battery drain is so low that I would not consider using bricked kernel (or any other) at the moment. Battery life is much better now.

I just wanted to let you know. Despite other user's bashing and comlaining. We are lucky to have good developers like you in Sensation section.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Made my day bro, Faux said this is the SAME kernel :D
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Lmmfao... i didnt even catch that. Day made :D
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
Hey... 024 beta2 and 024r are exactly the same.

just so you know.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
But if you just flashed again the same kernel, maybe you need to wait a few cycles and here you go :p
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
It works now. Thanks

2nd core goes straight to to 1.72ghz when 2nd core is enabled. Even when my max is 1.18ghz
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
This only proves that people are

1. Impatient

2. Very impressionable.

I learned that I have to let my kernel sit in for at least 4 days before I really begin to enjoy it.

It reminds me of the black berry.

After a week... the device just keeps running better and better.

It may have something to do with the java virtual machines... or caches... i don't know... but the longer I run the better the phone behaves especially with battery drain.

​

Never before has my phone been so repeatedly stable on battery drain... all because I just quit swapping my ROM every 2 days and my kernel every day.

CM7.1-A10 Faux 0.2.4 Beta2 (Which is 0.2.4 Official)
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
What are you using to set clocks. That happened to me when i used system tuner
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
I was using FauxClock for me but then i thought i can choose governor (intellidemand) and clocks with performance in CM settings, good way for me :)
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Using system tuner

i might go back to setcpu
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Ya... same here. less crap going on that way
[HTC Sensation] hanlence:
I don't know. but it did drain the first 5% of the battery in 2 hrs when the phone is idle (used to take 8-10 hrs to do that).

i compared the size of the two version 024 beta2 and 024 final, they are different in size, so i guess it will be some difference i can't see.
[HTC Sensation] cpom1:
Sorry this may be a noob question but how do you add the scripts to UV?
[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
Don't get me wrong. I just wanted to give feedback. No need to be nasty or ironic. I think I'm not the only person with that problem.
[HTC Sensation] formula91:
Does anyone know how to change the screen off frequency for intellidemand? Is it available to find in sysfs? I personally think 810000 is too high. I can go down to 384000 without much lag at all. I don't want to use fauxclock to do it, I'd much rather do it directly through the kernel.

-edit-

If it exists, it's definitely not in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/intellidemand ....

-edit #2 (THIS SEEMS TO BE IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE READING)-

I may be way way off, but it seems like when the screen is off, the kernel will KEEP THE CLOCK AT 810 MHz and NOT CHANGE IT.

I've been looking the scaling_cur_freq table and it stays at 810000 whenever the phone screen is off. Bug?

it may explain some people's battery issues, but I would blame your lack of cycling first.
[HTC Sensation] SlwDrvr:
i'm not sure if this is a dumb question or not, but is the 0.1.9 download link the most updated link that I want to download for the 0.2.4 version? cause i see the change log updates, but i see the version 0.1.9 as the current, but you have released the 0.2.4 and the download link also says 0.1.9, so i'm just confused. i'm currently running on your 0.2.3.r1 faux kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Due to some trouble with publishing the source of his kernel, faux decided to stop developing for Sensation. Must be the case for the cm7 kernel as well.

We´ve lost a great def here. :(
[HTC Sensation] Vineares:
And it was doing so well too.... I'm still not sure what happened : /
[HTC Sensation] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Using 0.2.4r and it seems running well. Faux, thank you for your great job and for you support! Hope, we'll see you some day back on Sensation...
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
0.2.4r is actually giving me worse battery life than 0.2.4b2. Not sure if this thread is dead since faux is gone though... :/
[HTC Sensation] grivad:
They're the exact same kernel. Read.
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Since b2 is the final version, there were no changes between the two.

Maybe your device needs to settle for a while.
[HTC Sensation] Fihlvein:
So glad to see you back faux! Can we also possibly taste some of your 025b sweetness?
[HTC Sensation] gavin-phelan:

Nice! Is there no 1.56 GHz version or all beta builds at 1.73 GHz? Just wondering if we lose the L2 Sync with this version.
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
faux..there are awsome mod in some kernel for EVO 3D GSM..check out him .. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346760

can u add this mod to this kernel??
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
That's pretty cool, except it will drain battery life like mad. The only way for it to work is to leave the capacitance detection circuit running while screen is off. The kernel has to also have a working thread running in the background the entire time to poll the changes in the capacitance buttons at a regular interval.

This is actually pretty easy to hack, but the cost of leaving a thread running all the time and leaving the capacitance circuit active all the time may not be worth it....

Just my 2 cents....
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Guess you never read his posting say that he had business to attend to for awhile before he comes back, almost everybody took it that he left for good. Boone really read much now such a shame.

[HTC Sensation] Fihlvein:
It seems to work when you increase brightness, but it's no use because you need the backlight most when it's dark and therefore screen brightness is minimum.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yep, when brightness is low the buttons don't light up.
[HTC Sensation] remizik:
is that normal that flashing the last kernel changed my mac adress ? :confused::confused::confused:

I was unable to connect to my wifi, so I checked the mac adress in my filter (which is like that since I had my Sensation)

Using the new beta its smooth battery life seems good too but the second cpu seems always off, normal ?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Hm.. this is is interesting, based on your inputs, it sounded like this works the EXACT OPPOSITE of how Sense ROM works. Ugh, I hope I don't need to write a different driver for Sense and CM7...
[HTC Sensation] gavin-phelan:
Jeez lighting up i was oj ha faux always had the best kernals for battery :)
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Are you certain on that? Because Current Widget still shows 160-170 mA during screen is off.
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
1. Once auto screen brightness is on and i am in the house, the leds for the hard keys will not light up.

2. If I turn off auto screen brightness and use the manual slider to adjust the screen I can see the led flicker to life. The brighter I set the screen the brighter the led.

It is resonable then to assume the led brightness in your code is proportional to screen brightness.

A fixed minimum led brightness value, in both auto and manual modes, may therefore be required.

I was wondering if there is anything i can do about the heat?

When i start a game and play it for like 15 miunutes 20% battery dies and the phone is very hot. Running 1.2ghz -75mV and 50GPU
[HTC Sensation] Seferi:
Some people stated they get 3-5 mA. How do you measure that? With battery monitor widget with usage (mA) widget content? I tried that and I get 140 mA lowest... is something wrong or I'm measuring wrong data..? Thanks..
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
You are not measuring anything wrong. Understand no two phones will be the same doesn’t matter what you do. Every setup with every user is different. You need to find out what using your battery the most. If you have lot of apps and or widget running that always using data connection, can also cause battery drain. With latest faux’s 0.25 beta 2 I’m getting as low as mid 30s low 40s.
