I'm facing lots of reboots when the mobile is idle with this last release ..
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
My phone rebooted while I was talking in roaming. This is BAAAAAD ... like the operator doesn't charge me enough for the roaming calls, now I had to call again.

First I had a data drop with deep idle ON, after that, the call was dropped with deep idle OFF ... so I don't think didle is to blame here.

For the moment I've switched to some other stable release waiting for a fix on this one.
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
I have used Oxygen 2.3.1, Oxygen 2.3.1 Kang by red_skittles, Nexus MV 1.11.30, and latest CyanogenMOD 7.1.0.1 and now i am under my personal ROM based on latest CM7 with latest Franco`s kernel 25 Nov testing and stable and haven`t had any of those problems..

I didn`t got a single SOD or any random reboot (deep_idle always turned off- i am not a big fun of it, default voltages, 200mhz min - 1000 max, deep_sleep on, screen off max freq off.) and when i got some of them i am under some benchmarking testings with a huge push on frequencies and voltages.

The only recommendation i have to make to any off u having any kind of those problems under Francos 25.11 is to try adding +25 mv on every ARM freq..!
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
It is not acceptable to have to mess with the default voltages in order to make the kernel stable.

My phone doesn't support too well any OC/OV or UV ... I have to stay on sstock rregarding these values.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Like I said I dont see a reason for the reboots. I will update this soon then.
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Maybe u r right mate...but u know that any device, (in our case Nexus S) will look the same with another of the same model but we always have some differences regarding some minor manufacture choices..!!

Ok..i know..u don`t use to OC etc as u said so i suppose u have ur phone at stock freq like 100Mhz min - 1000Mhz max or 200Mhz - 1000Mhz so u want ur phone to roll on those frequencies without any problem but keep in mind that u are not even on a stock state..!!

What i mean is that any custom kernel - rom use some tweaks for offering us all those benefits of performance and exchange our Nexus S capabilities but in some cases we don`t have the same effects regarding the stability of any Nexus S cause of those minor differences i said before..

Although i don`t think that an increment of just +25mv will harm ur NS neither ur battery life..!!
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
I know what you say .. more than that I understand what you're saying (I said previously that my daily job is chip designer in technologies varying from 0.18um down to 28nm).

I guess that the cpu present on my phone is one that is already on the edge regarding the timing paths so I really don't want to mess with the voltages because it will certainly have unwanted side effects.
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Didn`t knew that ur job was chips and microchips technology disegner!!Good to know that!!So for sure u know something more than an architect knows on chips and microchips. :)

I am a hobbyist on anything regarding technologies and i am considering my self a hardcore and power user on PC usage and PC OC`ing..!!My point is still what i wrote u and advised u before .Can`t see any harm on this or at least don`t increase all ARM frequencies, try the last 3..(100MHz, 200Mhz and 400Mhz)..Last word is always yours..!!(u know better what to do with ur NS) ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] djjonastybe:
What scares me is that he made 1000's of changes to the kernel if I read his changelog. I wonder how this kernel can be stable. If he did get it stable he has all my blessings.

I hope I can one day start my own kernel. BLN would be all I need.
[Nexus S Android Development] tylercarter:
It is stable. Try it and be amazed. Just because u see a big changelog doesn't mean its not stable. It just means the dev put a lot of work into this and here's what he did. Just try it. You can always flash back. No biggie
[Nexus S Android Development] nathanson666:
I think you're in the wrong place buddy. You shouldn't be flashing if you're not feeling adventurous!
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
I use the 25.11 kernel with NScollab 1.60. Its superfast and its the best battery life i got since i have my NS! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Just flash the ****ing kernel and see! :DOne of the best kernels now!

:D
[Nexus S Android Development] tylercarter:
Lol yeah what he said. Unleash the beast!
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Changelog is big, but it's not with SUPERDUPERMEGABACKPORTSFROMHELL. All the changes were well thought trust me ;)

Let's see if I can pull some more... I had some code lying here somewhere... ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] tylercarter:
Just wondering Franco...have u heard from anybody that runs stock roms? Init.d is essential correct? I thought about going back to stock so just wondering. Thanks again for a wonderful kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Not essential, I had devnull which doesnt have init.d and I never had any issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] tylercarter:
init.d

is adding init.d as simple as making the blank folder for it?
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Nop, needs stuff into the init.rc.

Do you guys smell an update? I'm starting to smell something...
[Nexus S Android Development] tylercarter:
yeah what is that smell? must be the perfect time for djjonastybe to grow a set of balls. lol
[Nexus S Android Development] zeppelinrox:
It may be possible to implement the mot_boot_mode hack idea

http://and-developers.com/custom_recovery:alternative_methods

That's the method used in my autostarts thread.

So if you have a similar file, the idea should work.

Replace a file that loads on boot with a script that calls the original file along with custom commands.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Kernel updated.
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
Thanks :) I'm flashing

Edit : keenly appreciate continued support for GB
[Nexus S Android Development] tylercarter:
Another fantastic update! :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] ShadowVlican:
Had random reboots with Nov. 25.. Will try Dec. 4
[Nexus S Android Development] benseoul:
Thank you for your great job :)
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
Flashed latest of franco's kernel. It just cleared all my home screens...

Now i have to set up the home screens again...

Anyhow, hope this release is stable for me...:)

Thanks for continued support on GB.
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
Had no problem with the new update, everything is just fine.

Sent from my Nexus S using franco's kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zorrich:
Ditto.

Anyone have problem with gallery not generating thumbnails by her own?
[Nexus S Android Development] rip_noob:
I'm using quickpic only, but gallery is working fine with 4/12
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Another great update!! This is my battery life in 25/11

Im exited to see wwhat i get with the 4/12 :D
[Nexus S Android Development] djjonastybe:
Who has deep_idle working on their I9023? And which ROM do you use.

I have random reboots on latest MIUI ROM when using deep_idle :/
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
I have :) with the NSCollab 1.60. take a look at my previous post with the screenshot, you definetely can see it works.

i9023.
[Nexus S Android Development] suksit:
Been using 4 DEC build for like 6 hours and it seems to be a lot better than 25 NOV build (at least to me). Battery life is good, got neither reboot nor anything strange so far :)

BTW, I found that Voodoo Color settings since 25 NOV build doesn't play well with my screen (green/yellow screen when dimmed) so I am using the values from 23 NOV build instead. I'll just post the script I used in case someone is interested.

#!/system/bin/sh

# change Voodoo Color settings
echo 2138806459 > /sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/red_multiplier
echo 2369179680 > /sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/green_multiplier
echo 3373376578 > /sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/blue_multiplier
echo -26 > /sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/red_v1_offset
echo -30 > /sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/green_v1_offset
echo -33 > /sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/blue_v1_offset

Copy / paste the code above into a text file and save it as something like /etc/init.d/50voodoo then reboot. Or you can just use the Voodoo Control app instead.
[Nexus S Android Development] meisze:
Thank you very much , it is amazing . The kernel is very fast and smooth .
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
I flashed back GB to try this kernel before releasing and its so smooth that I cant go back to ICS =(
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
Nostalgia! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] suksit:
Lol :D This kernel rocks!
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
I've been using Morfics kernels since I got my N/S but after seeing all the comments and the fact you are constantly updating this kernel I'm going to do a full wipe and see what all the rave is about
[Nexus S Android Development] tylercarter:
This kernel is the reason I never flashed ics in the first place. Always smooth as hell.
[Nexus S Android Development] pan1980:
me too, its so smooth with miui that i don't find any reason to go to ics (yet).

using live oc 108, max clock 1296 min 216 and increased all int voltages to 1150 battery life is almost as good as with default clocks/voltages.
[Nexus S Android Development] notabene:
4.12 kernel, Default voltages 200/1000, Deep idle on, touchwake on, latest MIUI from BM, phone didn't come to screen on mode, then reboot. Didn't happened with 25.11 version :-(
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
This kernel is awesomeeeeeeee, this is so fast, hope battery life is up to par as well. I'll find out these next few days.
[Nexus S Android Development] krex:
I've flashed this kernel, and it is very good work too. Fast as rocket. Thanks. :)

But so far I've not managed to reach 65fps in Quadrant with your kernels, I always get 49(~50)fps. What's wrong with mine set?

And my everwish: could we get 1.4Ghz step? :D
[Nexus S Android Development] skitapa:
I had the same problem, I fixed it by not overclocking the cpu, well, you know what I mean, and instead used liveoc for overclock. That one overclocks the bus making the gpu faster and thus giving you a faster frame rate. Just don't forget that if you have like hundreds of apps installed, or several continous heavy ones, it's going to be tough. ;)

The Terminal is warm and inviting.

Edit: According to the previous post I tried the turn-off-screen thing. Thanks. Yes, it helped.
[Nexus S Android Development] djjonastybe:
There is a post in the general section saying ICS will be much smoother than the ones we have now. Sounds very promising

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Convince me to use NSCollab :) I use miui now.
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Well at first: if you use miui you better buy an iphone :P hahaha

Now. Its just super snappy and its fast. You can theme it easily with theme chooser. If you use with the latest franco kernel and with the ICS theme its the best you can find out here.

Here s my battery life with the latest franco kernel and nscollab 1.60 with sonny sekhons ICS theme.

Trust me its impressive.

Try it your self :P
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
The new update is extremely fast, better than before

Sent from my NexusMV using franco's kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] djjonastybe:
what app is that you have there?

How can I test my deep idle is working ?

I have everything installed you said. It is super snappy!

EDIT: found it. Now I guess I have to wait and see :D

Do you use NSTools to tweak your kernel ?
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Yes I use Nstools :) the combo is cool isnt it?
[Nexus S Android Development] doc_v15:
Mine is working! Using the kelLmsKing miui rom 2.8.1

Battery live is super awesome!

18hrs of semi heavy usage and still 30% left! And for the lasr 8hrs, what you see is deep idle kickin' in!
[Nexus S Android Development] laidick:
problem report:

1) SOD

The SOD I guess it's just because I was using 400-1200 stock voltage. It's fine after I switch back to 400-1000. (my phone doesn't like OC with stock vol :p )

2) No Network (Cell/3G)

radio: KF1

rom: kelLmsKing miui rom 2.8.1

kernel: 04 Dec

liveoc: 100

cpu: 400-1000

deep idle: on

max freq: on

voltage: all stock (int/amr)

The cell network drop, no 3G Icon, the signal icon still shows as full. But actually I can't receive any call (tried to call from home to my mobile). WIFI on at that moment, can browse website, whatsapp etc..

FYI, I was using GlaDos1.9 for 7days+ (with all same setting above), it's stable without any issue.

Is this information helpful? or should I provide anything else?
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
I know about that and I've tried everything I can to find the cause but the only thing I can tell you is to disable deep_idle and that will go away.
[Nexus S Android Development] anteko:
My colors went all weird when I switched matrix to this on KelLMSKing MIUI Mod.. I can change the voodoo color settings but, any idea what is causing this/how to fix it?
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
How do we know that deep idle was working for the last 8 hours?

Did you playing music for the last 8 hours with screen off?
[Nexus S Android Development] laidick:
Sure will do.

Thanks franco :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
How do I do a logcat? Every time I try to access the CPU section of NS tools it fc's, it didn't do that when I first set up the phone and restored apps, it just started randomly doing that and uninstalling it and clearing the data didn't work. Running the latest 12/3 Kang with your 12/4 Kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] doc_v15:
The indicator that deep idle is working is the battery life decreasing very slowly..

No, I did not playing music, I was sleeping :D
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
No no no..thats not the real function of deep idle..

Deep idle will save more battery when playing music while screen off...
[Nexus S Android Development] doc_v15:
How much "Save More" is save more?

My battery went down 3% in 8hrs! :D

How can I expect "more" ?

In my context its enough..
[Nexus S Android Development] djjonastybe:
Did you enable deepidle using NSTools?

In NSTools my idle stats are showing 0 for deep_idle TOP_ON and TOP_OFF

You can monitor logcat live by downloading:

http://qtadb.wordpress.com/download/

Download this. Connect your phone to computer. This is much more effective than watching that small screen right?
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
That 8 hours during overnight right?

Try testing playing music for 30 min with deep idle on and deep idle off..
[Nexus S Android Development] djjonastybe:
What I see is that you have been using the phone if I notice the yellow bars...

Without deep_idle I can get 7 days or so without using my Nexus S. With deep_idle I dont know yet.

logcat is disabled on NSCollab :/
[Nexus S Android Development] 93ae8074:
And keeping data on? C'mon man! Don't fool with us!
[Nexus S Android Development] doc_v15:
Yes, thats also works too :)

Im using NSTools too :D
[Nexus S Android Development] suksit:
Wow, that's impressive... Normally, in standby mode with deep_idle ON I got an average of 1% drain per hour so I doubt if 7 days is really possible.

However, in flight mode the battery stays at 100% after 5-6 hours so I guess 7 days is possible in that case.
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
latest release and the data just dropped after 2days of use. same problem i had before. strange thing is that this happened only with franco's last 3 or 4 releases.

Deep idle was ON in this case. No oc. stocke voltage.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zorrich:
I have this problem too when DIDLE is on. Turn it off and I bet that doesn't happen anymore. It also happens to me when I use GLaDOS kernel, so I do not believe it is related to Franco's kernel specifically. Regarding only happening in the past 3-4 releases, maybe there was a patch to DIDLE in that time?

OR maybe some phones just do not like DIDLE. Dunno.
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
I also have this issue with the latest version. The interesting thing is that I'm actually using the deep idle because I am using the phone as a music player so the mp3 playing time is very important. So, turning the deep idle off is not am option either.

Sent from my green robot ...
[Nexus S Android Development] Mecid8:
how can i enable logcat.

insmod logger.ko not working.
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
Glados SODs on me...a little too often. but data dropping on Franco that cannot be restored unless rebooted is also not nice.

anyhow, how's deep idle working for you?

for me, either on wifi or 3G the battery drops a little less than 1% per hour on stock kernel settings...and this is almost no difference to whether I have deep idle on or off...
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't know what can cause the data drops, I've looked in my commits and I don't see the reason. I'll either remove deep_idle completely (I don't use it either) or I'll re-introduce all the deep_idle code again.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zorrich:
Well I do not use it anymore, but I did notice it helped. I listen to music everyday at work, so with my usage patterns I did notice decent savings.

At the end of the day, I just figured whether I finished the day at 25% battery life, or 50%, it doesn't matter as I charge it every night anyways. Not worth the data drops that have 100% disappeared with DIDLE OFF.
[Nexus S Android Development] boostern:
@franciscofranco:

I've been an early adopter of your kernel, so I've tested all version...but from the 04/12 version I have random reboots and freezing, even with stock frequencies and voltages. It seems that all happens when I turn on the screen (and I think when the device wakes up). All worked beautifully till the 17/11 version (I haven't tested the version in between the 17/11 to 04/12, I wasn't at home in that period) but now there's something wrong.

It's only a report, not a complaint ;)

Edit: I forgot to say that I'm with an i9020 and stock rom.

Edit2: Deep Idle On, all the rest Off.
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thanks for the report. Disable deep_idle and tell me if it fixes it. I have no such issue, I never ever had a reboot with my kernels.
[Nexus S Android Development] Mecid8:
How can i enable logcat?
[Nexus S Android Development] boostern:
Me too, but now that it's strange. I'll try with deep idle off.
[Nexus S Android Development] lukappaseidue:
Hello franko I have uploaded your latest kernel 4122011

I noticed that after uploading, at restart all my widgets are gone.

I realized, too, that there is another bug, that I've asked to you to study.

i explain you

STOCK ROM 236

NSTools and everything to default

Low frequency 400

Max frequency 1000

deepidle on

When I take a picture in a dark room, you turn on the Flah (obviously) but shuts down before the photo is taken, with the result that made ​​the photo does not show.

The problem arises with your kernel because with that of pete and that stock photos are ok,

You can work on to solve the problem, as I find your fantastic job.

thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
I did not have bad issue with 04/12 on GPA19. no data drop / no reboot

insmod /system/modules/logger.ko

[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
I changed nothing about the camera. Press the shoot button longer and it will be fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I got that problem too on saturday night. Turns out to be fine when I disable deepidle. It's like the timing is off. :S
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
Too many problems with deep_idle I guess. Time to make deep_idle go to oblivion =(
[Nexus S Android Development] Romonster:
No, deepidle is not to be blamed for this.

I had the camera flash problem from before deepidle existed.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I don't know, I was never lucky with it, but some people don't seem to have any problem whatsoever.

It's an interesting concept but the savings for my use are negligible and there's just too much hassle related to it. But you know, it's easy to just turn it off, and the problems go away.

Sometimes i'll get a reboot. I never know when, I never know why, but poof it'll reboot and show me the boot animation in weird colors. Or a sleep of death.

There's also the flash glitch/timing. I don't know why that happens, but it does.

There's the screen not turning on bug when you press the power button. Gotta hit it 2-3 times to make it turn on.

That's pretty much what's plaguing me so far regarding deepidle.

Anyway, for now, I'm fighting Google Maps. This freaking piece of crap application is draining all my battery all the time. Thought I had it fixed, but this morning it came back. I see maps draining my battery like I'm playing a damn game and I didn't even open it since booting. :S

Edit: I've never had the flash problem without deep idle, and nearly all the pics I take are taken when I party. It's a strange coincidence, if it's one, but there's chances I might be too drunk to take a proper picture. :P
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
Get 2 random reboot today after battery drop below 50%..

Latest franco with latest markvis kernel..

No OC,No deep idle,min 400,max 1000,lazy,
[Nexus S Android Development] SilverEagle:
I had reboot problems without oc nor deep idle, and was using smartassv2 governor.

Today i tried changing governor to conservative and not a single reboot...

last kernel with brainmaster's rom

EDIT: ye now i noticed my reboots were more frequent with low battery %
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
I'm using deep idle, and never had any issue. it seems like my battery lasts forever.

no data drops, no flash issues, no problems at all. would be sad to lose that option.
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Sign out of latitude. That should fix maps drain issue
[Nexus S Android Development] franciscofranco:
That happens because below 50% I think the battery voltage diminishes from 4200 to 3700 or something so if it doesn't get enough voltage to work it just reboots. Either you're using UV or I'll might just increase that battery voltage after 50%.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Nope. I already did that like a week ago. Activated Latitude, signed out, didn't work. I tried disabled location in browser, thought it worked, but clearly isn't. I'm all out of ideas. I just froze Maps for the moment using Titanium Backup.
[Nexus S Android Development] ellesshoo:
Since you're dropping deep idle may I suggest ondemand be the default governor. Lazy doesn't feel as responsive next to ondemand with good threshold/polling settings. Battery savings is pretty much a wash, especially without deep idle.
[Nexus S Android Development] fcuk90:
on 17nov build . rock stable pair with miui us . :)
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I agree with you. Since I've started using ondemand 98% 15000 I haven't looked back.
