K9 Mail has stopped pushing mail periodically, and gets hung sometimes when polling. Other people in the office have no issues with K9 and our mail server. One even has an SGSII with Unnamed as well. I have turned on debug in K9 filtered it in aLogcat, wiped the phone 6 times changed firmwares/roms changed K9 versions, switched radios. The only thing I haven't tried is going back to stock but since I was only on stock for like 40 minutes after buying the phone figured that wasn't it. Just remember it going out on me around Unnamed 1.3.0 or so and with BLN support. I have turned off BLN didn't uninstall it or replace the liblights.so file. Guess I'll try that next.

oh yeah had my email account wiped out and recreated.

Very nice. Listening to music playing checkers and texting. Still at 80 percent. And of course browsing xda
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Disclaimer: This is discussion, not argument. It's been about 10 years since I've had decent debate about tuning parameters. Few people in the "professional" world give a damn about clock cycles anymore.

I agree that the changes make the frequency increases and decreases snappier (with a bit more overhead in order to poll more often.) The effect is of a more instant response as opposed to the default of a sliding average. It "feels" more like ondemand...

Combined with the tuning parameter changes, the governor really isn't conservative anymore.. It actually starts acting more performance oriented than ondemand. The step-up of 50% is extremely aggressive for a processor with steps at 200/500/800/1000/1200 - and with the very quick response time, its extremely quick to bump up the processor speed.

Is it really still a conservative governor?

Take care

Gary (in migraine hell this afternoon)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the fast poll + low threshold stepped up as fast as ondemand.

Personally, I'm running 40000 usec polling (it's "fast enough" for me) and an up_threshold of 90. I forget what down_threshold, but it's higher than 35 for me to bias more for battery.

The nice thing about "tuned" conservative that allows the faster polling is that between the two thresholds and the improved poll rate limit, it's MUCH more tunable than many other governors, with almost no code changes required.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Okay, I had to re-read this again. Damn headache is setting my brain's "up threshold" to 110%. This tweak only impacts the minimum allowable for sampling_rate and the DEFAULT sampling_rate (which is set to the min rate.)

A good compromise for general users might be to alter the code to have this still impact the minimum, but set the default to the min*4.

This way, the default conservative is still conservative, but if a user found it to be sluggish, they'd have the flexibity to change the rate.

BTW, for non-technical people, I found a really good explanation of the governors AND the changable parameters. It's written in what I call "semi-technical" language and should be understandable to most people reading this thread:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoc...c/liaai/cpufreq/TunableGovernorParameters.htm

(Thanks to IBM for publishing this.)

Take care

DD_11232011.zip (Dropbox) I still have all the kernels saved. There was no exp branch on that date. Hope Entropy doesn't mind my posting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Not sure, but I think the sampling rate may default to 100k usec still - not sure. I always seem to be dropping it in SetCPU...

I should boot without SC at some point.

Edit: I finally downloaded the void sources - I confirmed that "Lionheart" is indeed a harcoded untunable variant of netarchy's tuning patch. There are a few other tiny tweaks in there, but it's 99% netarchy love. It isn't a straight kang, as netarchy's is portable and retains a bunch of safety limits, lionheart is 100% untunable hardcoded.

Edit 2: No problem on posting the old version, although I'd be VERY shocked if it actually affected a problem like the issue described.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sshimomichi:
My experience with the latest kernel thus far:

Overall performance is great. That could be due to that I did not overclock it and what not (I personally find the device to run great w/o any changes). The only bug that I have come across is during file transfers (Internal SD ⇒ External SD). Once the screen goes of while transferring files, I cannot get the screen to turn back on (unlock the device). I have to wait until the file transfer is done to be able to go back on the device. I was transferring nandroid backups so it could be something else. All I know is that with the previous DD I did not have this problem. I will try to execute this "bug" again on both DDs and keep you updated. If this has already been addressed, by all means feel free to flame me.

USB file transfer? Card to card, using what app/method?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desiromeo719:
slight bug for me entropy...

I noticed that randomly the capactive button leds turn off while im using the phone with the screen on nothing i do in the settings...as far as turning the led off and on or '6 secs mode' or even 'in the dark' ....does anything to turn them back on...

The only thing that makes the leds turn back on is pressing the power button to turn the phone off and then on again...does the trick...has happened to me twice so far...once using the navigation app and once doing something random like texting i think.

So randomly the leds turn off and toggling anything in settings>display>touch key light duration....has no affect...but cycling the screen off and on with the power button fixes the issue....

I havent added any new apps, tweaks or anything else in the last two weeks... except for updating the kernel to 1212 and my battery life has skyrocketed over the last three days. My awake time now has completely diminished except for when my screen is on.

For anyone still curious USB-OTG support is still working on the newest 1/2/2012 kernel release and there is an option to unmount. In the notification area there an an option that is labeled "USB mass storage connected" with a description "Select to remove USB mass storage safely". For some reason it will not allow me to unmount it though. The button isn't doing anything at all. Looking into that part to ensure it isn't one of my apps although I don't see why it would be.

Exchange Server or not, try Enhanced Email. It's probably one of the best 3rd party email clients out there available for our phones. It's not free like K9 but it's well worth it in my opinion. Push/IDLE work great!

First, happy to continue this discussion in the "General" forum or we will get torched. Second, I have not tried enhanced email. But after my stock email kept mucking up I switched to Touchdown from Nitrodesk and after a learning curve it is working fine for me, in particular since I am on an exchange server. It's expensive, but on Amazon you get it for half off.

I just got an apparent sleep of death with the latest experimental build running on latest Unnamed. Never happened before with any other kernel. Power button won't turn the phone on/off. Holding it does nothing. I'm about to pull the battery, but before I did that, I wanted to ask:

What information do you need from me to troubleshoot this? And how do I pull it? I'm proficient with ADB.

I will add my battery was showing 100% with very little usage today, not plugged into the charger, before this happened.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
I've experienced it as well on the non experimental version. It's happened about 3 or 4 times. I usually hold down power for a good 15 seconds and the phone will reboot. The thing is when it happened to me the screen was registering touches (haptic feedback was responding) just the screen was off and doesn't come back on. I was running 12.8 prior and never had that happen. But its happened a good 3 or 4 times since flashing it on Thursday.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sjwaste:
Out of curiosity, are you on automatic screen brightness when this happens? I am, and I only ask because this was an issue on the Evo in certain cases. Auto brightness meant the screen wouldn't come on sometimes.

As a matter of fact I do have it set to auto brightness

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sjwaste:
Given that your screen/buttons were accepting input but just off, I think it might have something to do with auto brightness. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this further, but maybe when Entropy sees this, he can suggest what sorts of logs we can provide.

I dumped dmesg on my first reboot, but unfortunately that only contained messages since boot time.

I'm going to poke around /var to see if there's anything persistent.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pistolberserk:
Just some findings ive noticed after flashing 1/2 from 12/8. Screen seems like it has changed a little bit. It seems as though on the 1/2 the lowest brightness setting seems a tiny bit dimmer than when the lowest brightness was selected on the 12/8 version. Also while playing this game iRunner on the 12/8 the yellow batteries kept their yellow color while the screen is moving. But on the 1/2 it seems as though when the screen is still, the batteries are yellow. But as soon as you start playing the batteries turn to like a almost light green shade. Keep in mind that I always play on the lowest brightness settings.

Stock rooted.

Just wanted to see if anyone else was noticing anything similiar to this. Nothing major but I am just curious as to if anything was changed or to see if maybe my eyes are just fooling me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup, seemed that way until the past few days for me too. Something just seems... off... lately. Might be just different usage patterns, or one of the patches I put in recently (I have some patches in testing that are unreleased.) Might just be different usage/charging patterns, since I haven't been charging it as much as I usually due as a result of giving my usual microUSB cable for development to my family, having to use my charging cable for dev, and being too lazy to get my spare charging cable from the car (for an entire week...)

Might be slightly different mDNIe tuning settings with the I9100 update3 drivers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
My vote goes to usage/charging patterns ;). With the your latest kernel I'm getting 4-4.5 hrs display time per charge. No issues whatsoever! Battery life has never been better than what I'm seeing right now. I'm on VR rom 3.0. Very little UV, NO OC. Conservative govenor.

Kernel for I9100G

Hi Entropy,

Any plans for releasing a kernel for I9100G as have been reading lot of good stuffs around this kernel.

Thanks Much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I hate doing blind development - that's why I haven't even released a kernel for the regular I9100 despite it being almost identical. (I'm considering it if I can find a trusted tester... Going to ask one or two people.) However, the I9100G is COMPLETELY different from the I9100 - I simply can't target it as I don't own a device or anything remotely similar.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
It could be your usage pattern or maybe a patch. What patches are you testing? For me, 1212 is freaking phemonimal, so I will need a really good reason to update from 1212. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lbohn:
Entropy,

The capactive buttons are continuing to fail to illuminate about once a day. A quick cycle of the screen always brings them back.

I'm running UnNamed v2.2.1. BLN has never touched my phone.

Here's my latest dmesg taken within a minute of today's failure.

Incidentally I'm getting phenomenal battery life with 1/2. I've hit 60+ hours several times, inclusive of 4+ hours of display time. I don't use JuiceDefender or any other "battery saver" app.

I'll take a look at the dmesgs of the button stuff when I have the time - I had a visitor and a side project going the past weekend, and I have family visiting tomorrow and a meeting tonight!

(I bought a Galaxy Player 5.0 on Friday, and am delving into the black arts of CWM porting. This will eventually benefit the I777 as I can then recompile CWM instead of just kanging from CM7 for updates.)

As to an I9100 release - as i said, considering it but not sure yet... I'm not sure if I have the time to deal with a massive I9100 kernel thread!

So I've been debating flashing 1/2 but am hesitant. I have been on 12/8 for a while now and have had no issues and pretty good battery life(3-4 hours display time). I have no lock screen lag. I've experienced lock screen lag with 12/12 & 12/21....I wanna update to 1/2 because some of you are saying best battery life yet but I'm kinda in the "if its not broke don't fix it" mode.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geomax45:
You know, I didn't have lock screen lag on the earlier builds either. Or that's what I thought until I installed 1-2-12. It seems that I DID have lock screen lag, but didn't even realize it. Very smooth, now.

If you give it a shot, you can always go back to 12-08, right?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Did we ever figure out what the difference was between the normal and ex. builds? I know its based on a different number (kernel) but it was ex. because we were not sure what it did... was this figured out yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Normal: .7

Experimental: .14 - could have bugfixes, whether any of them do anything more than 1% of the time, unknown - there are TONS of patches. It is known that an IRQ accounting bugfix altered battery statistics reporting. (e.g. the Battery Usage screen depends on an IRQ time accounting bug to catch heavy interrupt usage. This is why .14 hides many causes of high reported Android OS usage.)

I'm looking into possibly backing out the bugfixes that hide AOS, to make it easier to determine when such things are causing drain.

Running Jan-02 for a couple days now. Seems stable. I had the issue with the capacitive lights going dark (and staying dark) at least once, but was at work when I noticed it (no time or adb to pull dmesg/logcat.) It's quite possible that it's happend at other random times, but I simply haven't noticed. (Settings has it set for 6 seconds.)

No BLN here, running conservative: 100,000/80/40, mild UV, 200min/1200max, wifi was disabled, BT was enabled (but disconnected), GPS was enabled (but inactive), and screen brightness at auto (slightly modified in framework to lower default auto-brightness.), unnamed from end of december (2.something)

Update - I turned off auto brightness and have not had an SOD since the last - a few days now.

For those of you with the cap button lights not turning on, are you using automatic screen brightness?

I really think there's an issue related to that. We saw it for a while on the Evo, but I'm not qualified to look at the kernel and fix it. Of course, this is just conjecture on my part.
