Sounds good man. Look forward to it.

I wish my juice was like yours. I'm @ 86% after a hour and some change.
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
more geek talk:

whats wrong with the drive/architecture ?
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Ah. Yeah, I've done that one too... Whenever I'm rebuilding someone's site that I didn't build from the get-go. Efficiency is always key in any programming situation. Lazy programmers leave efficiency in the dust.

I wish I could say this is actually the way it's working out. Logically it doesn't make sense. In theory if I've even used 1 mAH from the battery I should be at least at 99% unless this thing rounds up to the next 1%.

Either way, I finally got it down to 90%. And just to try I juiced it back up. It was at 100% in about 20 minutes or less. Unplugged 1hr and 25min ago and and it's STILL at 100%. I've had 2 short phone calls and I've texted my GF a couple times. Lots of FB notices. Still at 100%.

I'm wondering if it needs to be calibrated or if this kernel REALLY is keeping the power usage down that much.

Again, my settings are as recommended by Faux:

1026/384 Screen on

310/192 Screen off

GPU I/O fraction is at 50.

--- EDIT ---

Double checking my settings I noticed my voltage control is not at what I set it to. It's at -75. I put it to 0 when I flashed B8... That's weird... Well I guess I've been at -75mV this whole time. That may explain it a little.
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
This my first time flashing one of Faux kernels, where can I check/adjust my settings.
[HTC Sensation] Vineares:
This latest release is looking really good. Have been doing some pretty moderate use for the past 2 hours and I've only lost about 3%.
[HTC Sensation] GizmoTheGreen:
Only time i did fix permissions after flashing kernel (b8), and i get gmail fc's, no reboot sofar though.

And faux, for final release I'd be happy if you added option to try higher clocks, and less voltages for those that might want to underclock...

I want to see how far my chip can go, so make it 2500 mhz? ;p (better yet 3000, ive seen kernels for 800mhz chips with 2500mhz settings.... useless, but fun xD)
[HTC Sensation] septix:
I lost 12% in 1 hour, whatsapp and a few pics
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
I'm using FauxClock 0.72. I'm sure I should upgrade to 0.75, but I can't even remember where I got it in the first place. I think it's at rootwiki.

Glad I'm not going crazy! :D Yeah, my battery life is amazing. I noticed that with my WiFi sleep state set to screen off the battery lasts so long. When I set it to 'never', my battery life started to drain faster, although still not as fast as it did before. So far so good. I put the sleep state back to screen off. I have Ti Media Backup run only on WiFi, but while the phone is charging the screen is never off, so this works for me.

In the mean time with normal use I'm at about 5% per hour. So in theory, at this rate I should be able to get about 20+ hrs of use. But that number may be skewed because I had the WiFi state set to never for about an hour.

Faux says he's fixing some 'derps' that have to do with the architecture so we may see even more efficiency in the next open beta. Looking forward to it. If it's even on par with b8 as far as battery life goes, I'd be extremely happy. I haven't run any bench tests on b8, but I also don't care. The phone is super smooth and everything is running VERY fast even underclocked as it is. Funny thing is that it's actually smoother and faster than ARHD running at 1.56GHz. I think CM7 and Faux were ment to go together.
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
This is a know hardware bug on the sensation. It will stay 100% for a while and then it will drop.

There is nothing we can do to fix it.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Untrue, but thanks for playing.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
I like you.
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
It had to be something like that.

Will try your new kernel as soon as it's available.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

Oh realy ? can you tell us what is causing it ? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
LOL Yeah, I was wondering if he was just going to leave us hanging. :D

"Untrue but thanks for playing" is like saying, "I know the answer but I'm not telling you!"

If you're going to contradict something someone says, you should back it up with reason or fact.

Either way, my Sensation has never been like that. The battery % has always been pretty linear. Never stayed at 100% and then dropped rapidly after that. I've had the phone for about 4 months and haven't had this issue. It seems to me that it just needs to be calibrated at least once. I was thinking about charging to 100%, wiping the battery stats and then just letting the phone run out of juice before charging it to 100% again. In theory that should fix this problem.
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
Good work

Pretty cool ...
[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
I have the same log as u faux.. always around -30mA. But in 4 hours my battery is 80%.. and was full..

Check spare parts to see if you have rampant sensor usage...or wait until you get a full charge/drain in.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Can I please has some of dis in my mouth, please?
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
With Beta 8, I'm experiencing battery drain too. Beta 7 was fine. Absolutely nothing else has changed on my phone other than flashing the new kernel. In 9 hours, it's dropped to 42%, and I've hardly used my phone. Normally, this would be the battery percentage at about the time I go to bed (10 hours from now!), and that's with a fair bit of usage too.
[HTC Sensation] mo0klin:
I'm getting -300mA constantly.. battery goes empty real quick.. how can I see whats using so much, or is my battery going dead?

Using the 0.2.3b7 with cm7a9
[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
It was with full charge.. where can i find 'rampant sensor usage' in spareparts?
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Spare parts > Battery History

Change "Other Usage" to "Sensor Usage"

---------- Post added at 06:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ----------

LOL! I knew I wasn't crazy (again). When I said that this thing felt way faster even underclocked I had no reason to benchmark. :D Great work!
[HTC Sensation] JoeSzymkowicz:
Sitting idle b8 is great. Using 4g though causes huge battery drain. The phone overal runs great. Charging right now to 100 to make a screenshot of idle vs 4g usage.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Been running current widget for about an hour with logging on. There were a couple minutes where the current was at 11mA. And there were a couple minutes where the current was at 31mA. A lot of time time at idle it was a 33mA. While on, the draw was between 170mA and 500mA.

Pretty interesting. I'm resetting the log since I had it logging my apps and the log file was enormous. I had to open it in Notepad++ on my computer! :D
[HTC Sensation] gavin-phelan:
All gud so far

Geezus!!! No. Probably not good at all. What apps are you running? I see you're not even connected to WiFi.
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
Man, these releases move so fast that I can't provide feedback before the next one ships!

I'm on b8 now, and I'm seeing much higher battery drain with b8 than I did on any other beta. I've been on standby since 9am (4 hours ago), and I'm down to 78%. Normally I'm still in the high 90s at lunchtime.

I'll load the RC tonight.

[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Wow, that's not good :eek: You need to find the rogue app that's causing the extreme drainage!
[HTC Sensation] Fihlvein:
Well, if were using your phone during that time, that is fairly normal. In that case you should tell what you were doing and what brightness were you using to really judge if that is normal.

Still, Battery Widget monitor is not reliable with Sensation so I would not take the numbers seriously.

If the measures were accurate we would get 1mA in airplane standby mode, but instead BWM reports nice drainage.

[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
First impression on B9 ... CPU is very jumpy

strange ... CPU0 is doing nothing and CPU1 is turning ON - OFF - ON - OFF and sometimes when CPU0 is running @ 192Mhz, CPU1 jumps to 1.08 Ghz

for the record: I'm running conservative govner and I'm 50mV undervolted

Let's leave it running for a while ...
[HTC Sensation] Fihlvein:
Edit: oops, accidentally replied instead of editing.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
On battery power for 1hr and 33min. The power usage seems to be erratic.

Down to 84% already. Granted I did use the camera for about 2 minutes to test it out.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Jumpy is good, you want to finish whatever the task as fast as possible, so CPU can go back to IDLING and save power ;) (of course this is for checking emails, quick calendar look ups.)

For long duration tasks such as gaming, video watching, book reading, you want to switch over to conservative governor (included in my latest kernels) to save as much power as possible while those apps are running.

Another Quick Note:

Someone asked for PPP Async Serial and PPP Sync TTY port support, both options enabled and built-in to my ALL of my kernels now
[HTC Sensation] hompsar:
When I reboot my battery drops by up to 30% is this an issue with the kernel or CM7?

[HTC Sensation] Vineares:
So far so good.
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
told you all before ... this 100% thing is a hardware issue.

batt. will stay on 100% for a while before dropping down ... I've seen this several times.

Think of this as - all battery's are not the same and some go higher than other - has more power as others so go actualy higher than the 100% that is programmed in the hardware...

edit - LOL - programmed in the hardware - so it is actualy a software issue - hahaha :-p
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
I tried this settings (performance governor) and my cf-bench result was 4200. 1.18ghz gave 5200.

What is the difference between our phones ?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
My setting for that benchmark was:

underclocked to 1.026 using scripts with OnDemand governor default, noop I/O scheduler default. GPU I/O fraction default 33. You can see a trend here... everything default.

I have facebook, twitter, G+, Gmail, Hotmail all background syncs enabled using Go Launcher EX with WiFi and BT enabled as well... Just like a typical smartphone setting (ie, No cheating techniques such as airplane mode, disabled tasks etc etc).
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
Actually i'm using the sense kernel. I just found that same post on the sense topic. So this result is from sense or aosp ..
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Both, CM7 has slightly higher score than sense...
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
If you get 5400 while 1.02 ghz cpu speed... How much for 1.56ghz ? more than 7000 ?
[HTC Sensation] mo0klin:
No strange apps running I guess.. usage was just Facebook and WhatsApp..

Any more details to find the problem?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Your android system is draining.... looks like you got a stuck service... use watchdog or systempanel to see what's causing the massive drain from within android system.. (android system is a collection of services.. you need to find which one of the services is killing your battery... something is definitely NOT right).
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
When using faux clock, every time I unlock my phone it says "fauxclock has been granted superuser permissions" is it supposed to be like that?

I'm having similar drain issues on beta 8. went from 60 percent to 11 in 40 minutes. mostly on standby. no drains shown by watchdog.
[HTC Sensation] vaerio81:
hey faux u saying that if the system looks like that picture something is wrong cuz i notice on hypers rom my system was high on top and on melvins beast it would b at the bottom with less usage and i would get like 24 hrs of batt .........idk y it was different

this is my screen shot as of now with system on top of others :
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Not necessarily wrong.. but suspicious.. the problem is android system is NOT just a single task.. it's a collection of services... you need more insight into android system to say definitively to rule it out.

I hate to say it, but the EASIEST way to fix this issue is to nuke the ROM, restart from scratch, then INSTALL 1 APP at a time to see what's causing the drainage!
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
Weird

Everytime I Install this kernel on a fresh copy of Hyper sensation I got to launch browser and keyboard freezes and gets stuck on screen. I have tried fresh reloads 3 times now. If I leave stock Cm7 kernel it works. What Cm7 rom have you used this kernel on?
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
It works on A9

I see that you have done 2 reboots. 1 in the beginning (huge drop) and 1 at the end (huge spike). Correct ?:confused:

[HTC Sensation] Fihlvein:
Cannot wait for 1.8GHz version. At 1.5GHz (b9) there are minor UI stuttering on certain launchers, which are gone at 1.8GHz (bricked).

I know one is not supposed to ask, but I'm just saying as I don't see a reason to limit OC to middleways for possible clock range.

Hope my wish is considered for RC. :)
[HTC Sensation] septix:
What he said.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Going to 1.8Ghz to solve stutter isnt the solution. Thats extreme. You need to track down what is causing this at normal speeds rather than push the limits of the CPU and risk failure.

It aint fun waiting on a new phone. Trust me...

Matt
[HTC Sensation] GizmoTheGreen:
Wait. How is 1.8 limits of the cpu??

The chip is meant to run on 1.5, 2ghz should be easy imho
[HTC Sensation] Fihlvein:
Well, it is the Sensations lack of power and optimizations that is causing the lack of butter smooth UI all around. Also a part of that is launchers efficiency. Biggest reason is my ambition of getting it perfectly smooth.

Going to 1.8GHz extreme? Considering Sensations CPU is already under clocked from 1.5GHz just to save battery, I wouldn't call it that extreme. :)

Oh and by the way, I've been using 1836MHz for so many days and experienced zero issues, so I consider it perfectly stable.

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

Well, going to next step @1890MHz does bring my Sensation on it's knees. :D
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
B9

B9 is getting close but something still wrong ... I'm getting power spikes that I did not see before ... and battery usage it not optimal YET
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
It sounds to me like you have more issues than clock issues. If it's stuttering, you need to find out what's causing that. I can run my phone at 800MHz and STILL have no stuttering. I have a lot running on it too. Have you tried installing Chainfire 3D? That solved a lot of my stuttering issues. Especially in the browser. ADW is silky smooth.

There is an issue with the latest CM Alpha Selfkang 9. Something in the ROM is constantly forcing CPU1 to be online (Because of this, the phone is NEVER allowed to enter deep sleep). This is a ROM issue, there's nothing much I can do about it from the kernel side. I will be switching over to my AOSP projects soon, so when I do, I will look at the latest CM Gerrit to see if there's a recent change to CM which caused this battery draining behavior.
[HTC Sensation] nikol4s:
Has this been reported to kmobs?
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
Good job Faux ! Great digging.

I tought that this CPU1 thing was not normal and indeed, sometime you see CPU1 going online, offline, online, ... for no reason.

What do you suggest for the moment ? stay on kernel 0.20 of 0.23b? or maybe go back to stock CM kernel ?

What if we use the oc feature of CM itself ?
[HTC Sensation] nikol4s:
Does this issue exist in self kang 8?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
This would occur in all kernels... Can someone load back the stock CM kernel and see if this behavior still exist, just to confirm! (it should..., I would test this myself, but I just switched back to Sense 3.5 this morning... ugh :( )

SelfKang 9 is the only version I tested so far.

[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
I ran it at 810MHz no problems. I don't know what a 4D drawer is since the 4th dimension is time. But my ADW runs smoothly. I don't use page transitions, but judging from how smooth it is without, I'm sure it'd be just as smooth.

I'm running at -75mV but I don't believe that the voltage has anything to do with performance. Go Launcher is far more efficient than ADW. In fact ADW seems to be the least efficient as far as animation goes. But it uses a lot less memory.

Chainfire 3D is an OpenGL middle-man driver. Anything that uses graphics goes through it instead of the standard driver.

Negative. All my bench results showed higher numbers with Chainfire 3D. All of them.

Here you go: 810MHz... Buttery smooth. Sorry my laptop's webcam sux. Nothing I can do about that.

So which are you using and what's different between them?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] GizmoTheGreen:
@scm_crash nice video, mine is smooth too ;D

I've got min undervolted to -100mv and on 1026mhz, I will try 810.

I really think the chip can go lower though (when underclocking)

as well as alot higher (2500mhz+?) if you run standard volt + some slight overvolt.
[HTC Sensation] YseanY:

also, i tried searching the thread but didn't seem to find anything, how do you undervolt the phone?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
System Tuner and Faux Clock will let you undervolt.

Any clues why sometimes in fauxclock075 my max clock resets to 192Mhz?? I thought my ROM (H/S) was slow then I realized i was set at MIN clock :eek:

I had similar issue with fauxclock sometimes it changes the clock speed on it own. I use system tuner its better and you can change the voltage individually rather then global.

FauxClock 75 has reset values on me as well... Just open and reset the values, and close it. Then reopen and see if the values stick. I double check every time.

Values for governors seems to stick, but slider values don't always stick. Even the global voltage slider changes values on me. Weird...

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

Yeah. I'm trying -100mV now. We'll see how that goes. I set my clock back to 1.08GHz to see how long the battery will last. I ran the battery down to 3% today, and it's still charging as we speak. Taking a while... Shouldn't have used the USB to charge it. Going to plug it into the wall right now.
