Sometimes randomly Video recording stucks after a few seconds and the phone freezes... Then the phone has to be rebooted...

Stock video player also lags and freezes after a few seconds and displays the message

I experienced this once too. Tried front camera while on wifi, then whole screen dissolved to black & rebooted. But then after that first experience, i took a cpl of front cam pix, widout wifi this time, & had no problems.

Weird thing is, my battery level dropped from 60% to 20% after the reboot. Then it started rising up to 30% after a while. And now its ok even without calibration.

Screen on: min500mhz, max1300mhz, brazilian wax

Screen off: min120mhz, max500mhz, smartassv2

Sceduler: sio

Xxkpq, tarunagg ics theme, uc kernel v14..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
On every kernel I've used, the battery level always drops a lot after a reboot for some reason:/

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
it depends upon good battery calibration. Many times I reboot my phone but battery drops by only3-4 % which is acceptable. In rare situation means when battery is low then reboot causes battery drop by nearly 10%.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
ha

thanks ,vishal:D:D

i am using cm9 + arindam's kernel

the battery is ok..:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] The_GMAN:
I tried on every frequency increasing/reducing by 25000, 50000, 15000 etc I even tried the frequencies you gave but nothing. e.g

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels # echo 1300000 1405000 > vdd_levels

It keeps on saying,

/sbin/sh: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels: Permission denied

Why can't we change frequencies with apps??

REGARDING CPU OVERCLOCK

Guys I think max cpu overclock is best at 1300 mhz, going up to 1400 mhz brings more instability and bugs than advantages(currently no advantages for me). So

PLEASE

guys just put the max frequency limit at 1300 mhz and most of the bugs will disappear. Then we can fully concentrate on the Voltages, this way we will move forward faster. Then we can have a fully stable kernel, when 3.0 comes in then we can boost the hell out of that gpu :D. Lets face it, 1300 mhz is the most stable we can go to without wasting time.

If you think what I said makes sense then please support me. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
For oc, you can always set the Max spd yourself :p

Get this error today 'camera failed'.. Not sure if this is a kernel issue but never faced this issue before...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
reboot fixes this ! and also mention ur rom which ur on ! its best if u report only stock rom's errors !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
Yes. That is stock rom camera ui
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xGiox:
its doesnt since you can set 1300 max for you,my phone is working fine and without any buggs on 1380 mhz uc v10.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] The_GMAN:
Yes, but the kernel's Max really affects your phone. For example,

When I was on stock KPQ with UC #14, with min: 300 and max: 1300 Whenever I opened the camera it would lag excessively and when I close it, the whole phone lags excessively. When I check the current CPU Max set by the governor, it shows 1380 full time even though I am not using my phone. The only solution is to reboot.

Not everyone's phone can handle 1350/1380, If we voted we would find that most phones can't handle. So majority wins :p:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
In general, most phones can handle the oc. Either way the uc team can always release an oc and non-oc kernel.

Cheers:)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Napstar:
Hehe,

You did not carefully follow what I have shown in the following instructive image:

I have first changed my directory to;

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

and then changed/printed vdd_levels.

So the correct code is when you enter in adb shell:

cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq
echo 1300000 1405000 > vdd_levels
cat vdd_levels

Check out the highlighted area carefully.

Was your wifi switched ON during or before this camera issue?

Though, I will have to check with camera.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Napstar:
Just got this CM9 kernel working.

Here are some snaps.

It is still in alpha stage. Need to check with camera, wifi and wifi tethering.

This Alpha version will be released soon.

I am thinking of starting a new thread. So that there won't be any confusion between bugs for GB release and CM9 release.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deepanshu sharma:
backporting kernel 3.x features or just a simple 2.6.35 kernel for CM9??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
This is the most imp question ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
its 2.6.35 i guess....UC are experienced in using 2.6.35 and they will surely try that before going for 3.0....besides Doom said they didnt have the hardware for UART....so they cant boot kernel 3.0 till we get some update from hillbeast....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
see screen shot. 2.6.35 it is.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] The_GMAN:
oopsie... my mistake... :o

Thanks, but I can't test right now, don't have my phone :(

NO, NO, NO, making a non-OC kernel is pretty much useless. I am sure at least 99% of our phones can handle OC. Maybe you didn't get me right, what I meant is 1300 mhz should be the kernel max, going up to 1400 mhz is unnecessary and that's all.

by the way I am a BIG fan of Overclock. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
sorry for asking a noob question but does oc require an app to set it on boot every time....

i mean cant a kernel be oc'd just by default ?????

people say use no frills but i never wanted to use an app just for oc....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
99%...??

You must be joking...! My phone can handle only upto 1200 mhz. Beyond that my phone reboot. If u read UC thread then u will notice that many people people have problems with OC.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
It can be but then it wont work on all devices...

At 1.2Ghz ur device is already overclocked by 20%
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
i am assuming your saying this because some people face fc's,etc. on overclocking right...

but i think 1.1-1.2 ghz should be stable enough for max. no. of things....as an option, you could always release two kernels side by side, one with default 1 Ghz while the other default 1.2Ghz both overclockable upto 1.3-1.4....

i am sure there may be many like me who wouldnt mind some oc but at the same time dont want to use extra app/would prefer it by default.....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] The_GMAN:
I said 99% can handle OC, meaning our phones can handle OC by however little. Be it 1100 mhz or 1300 mhz, I didn't say 99% can handle 1300 mhz, did I? Your phone can handle up to 1200 mhz which means it can handle OC!.

btw my real point is kernel max should be 1300 mhz, thats all.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Ya u are correct. I just wanted to say that upto 1.2 ghz phone is stable enough :)

I dont think so that we should have 2 UC kernels because kernel boots at 1 ghz only so it boot on all devices successfully. As per ur device capabilty set ur kernel freq. My phone can handle max 1.2 ghz only. So I never go beyond that :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Napstar:
Poll asking for max OC freq limit added to thread

I have added a poll to this thread for your interest of max OC frequencies.

Highest voted option will be kept in next release onward. Maintaining two kernel releases just for the sake two OC freq will be a pain. :p

The poll will last for 10 days till 7th June.

I still believe that such discussions can be continued in Q/A thread here;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358632

Where experienced users can take care of simple questions. ;)

And thread will remain clean for just bugs posting.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Adi_Pat:
Agreed. OC doesn't work on all devices. Infact OC messed up my Kernel. IT is overclocked to 1.2 Ghz yet doesn't boot for all. Thats why was waiting for Napstar's Patches..

@Napstar Can you just tell me what did you change to restrict boot freq? So that OC works for everyone?

My Personal Choice: 1.2Ghz max. Anything above that is actually not needed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
Sorry if this shouldn't be here, but I would like this to be considered..

Don't understand why we need to have a max frequency LIMIT on a kernel when the user has the independence to choose whatever freq they want to use..

The issue where very high overclocked kernels caused booting problems has been fixed by Napstar, by limiting the booting frequency to 1ghz..

What abt the users like me ( I don't expect this number to be big ) whose devices can handle 1.38 ghz and would like to see how far it can go?????

My concern is that people who want higher overclocks will lose out to the one's who don't....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
Totally agreed. If your device can't handle it, simple don't use it.

Found that some V13 feedback has the same problem with me while I'm testing the V11 kernel.

Even if you set the max freq to 1200mhz or 1300mhz, when using the camera for video recording, it will also use 1350mhz or 1380mhz and cause the phone to lag or hang.

May be it is also the same cause for the wifi error problem(but I'm not sure).

Just want to highlight this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
That's the only reason why i want it to be 1.2ghz max. Mine struggles with 1.2ghz as it is, so higher limits make more problems...

If you can make the set settings stick - then make all the limits you want. :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
This should be consider as a bug, and should be waiting for a fix, not to avoid it.

Some phone are running fine at max 1380mhz, we shouldn't force a limit as they want to use the freq.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Napstar:
Hey, Thanx buddy.

Your patch should fix problem with device encroaching in disabled region while using Camera.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xGiox:
honestly if you ask me i wouldnt put limit even on 1380,i saw xperia neo working on 1900(even tho i know it will burn cpu fast) but hey its every user choise if he is going to risk,i think solution would be in making phone bot at 1000 max(allrdy done i think) and also not go over set limit(i personaly dont have that problem,when i set max 1 or 1.2 for good battery).after all my phone is working great on 1380mhz(on v10,later versions i get wifi wrror on 1ghz+) like many other ppl here,so why cap it coz of some ppl when there are other ways to fix issue for them.

Can u include Dhiru's kernel changes to stock kernel for bln mod???

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26817501&postcount=2122
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Napstar:
I guess, in case of CM bln signals are sent by ROM itself.

And what he has done is to control how does led lighting up behaves.

THough I will go through his code and will try if I could use it to enable BLN in stock ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
i was the first one to introduce 2.0Ghz kernels for any of the Xperia 2011 devices ;)

luckily my ARC handles 2Ghz well...

regarding CAP for max CPU freq... its not required with the recent patch in place
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xGiox:
yeah i saw it's doomkernel. What patch are you talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
I have one question:

Is there any chance that after you flash to the newer version, when you flash to older version, some newer files are not overwritten by older version?

Because I often get wifi error when using V9 1009 kernel which doesn't happen before and happen after I test V11 and flash back to V9
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] seizmos:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Napstar:
Must be problem with drivers.

May be try installing v08 or v07 first and then v09.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
ok, will try that and give some feedback later:)

EDIT: flash to V07 -> V08 then finally v09. So far no problem, seems like the problem is solved.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
Hey Napstar.. Seems like u have moved on to working on ICS.. Would be great if u release a V1401 GB kernel with XDA bam's patches for cpu jumps and home button fix..

I'm not sure if this bug with V1401 had been reported before.. Once u switch to airplane mode, can switch back to normal mode only with a reboot..

Cheers..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Napstar:
I will surely release one fixed version soon. Currently, I am testing and fixing bugs related to ICS releated kernel.

Will shift to this ROM soon and will deal with its bugs.

Will also look into airplane related bug, though not heard of it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] matapollos:
yeah, something similar happened to me this morning: I was studying with my phone on airplane mode. then when switched again, it didn't find any signal, so i had to restart the device. Tonight gonna do the same thing (have 2 exams tomorrow), if this happens again, will report it!

cheers and nice job ;)

EDIT: I did the same thing tonight and there were no issues. Phone works perfect for me.

what is best in this kernel as campared to stock

and does it support NTFS FORMATED EXTERNEL SD CARD
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitishagar:
now on v3 smooth run up till now :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amit864:
To name a few which I am using:

1. NFS and CIFS support (able to access shared folders).

2. Many CPU governor: using powersave, getting 80% improved better battery life than stock w/o any application/user-script tweaks (20h --> 36h).

3. It has tun.ko module too, but not really sure how to use it.

MY WISHLIST:

per-wifi-proxy settings (like cm7),

Front camera module for gtalk and skype (like i9000)

I think the real benefit would come when ROM devs mate powerful features on this kernel with efficient user-scripts and app tweaks.

Read change-log for more stuff.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

Flashed V3, my boot image was scrambled at first after flashing "modifier-XXKPQ-bootlogo".

I deleted the "/data/local/tmp/uckernelbootlogo" using es explorer (root mode). And put the phone to shut down and then start. WORKING NOW!!

Also, the phone boots without problem.

N
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
u need root explorer...

also after removing that file "/data/local/tmp/uckernelbootlogo" u need to reboot 2-3 times

well this kernel is ment to offer users/modders/tweakers a base and provide features which were initially not there for u guys...

TUN/TAP is for VPN support...

as for ur wishlist some things are related to ROM/framework...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Team UC you have done an awesome job at what you do, We've been having alot of kernel developer's lately working on solo tasks each engrossed in their own version of what they prefer best. Only lately we've been having major breakthrough's with the kernel's. codeworkx has done his version of CWM , Skin has done his too, amit aswell. It's a sea of kernel's and the constant hesitation on what to flash occurs. But upon using your current WIP, vr and smartassv2 worked the best. I won't lie on how my daily frustrations on getting the phone's response timing to work as smooth as CM7, without the battery being drained like a tetra juice pack.

Once I get paypal working , or once the "Retarded" system has been rectified here -Probably need to change banks -.-- I'll get around to donate $50 or more, If there's one thing for sure.

You sir have landed a spot on my respected work's list.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Doomlord and Napster....Thanks for updating and providing a great kernel. There is one GB issue that majorly of us have, which is push message sync on 2g and 3g connection. If possible can you guys look into that issue at a slight higher priority?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
currently i have just added the governors as is from my ARC kernel sources...

they yet have to be optimized...

FYI its just been 4 days since i got the phone in hand ;)

all device specific kernel related optimizations will be done in later versions...

this kernel now has almost 80% of the features which i have in my other device kernels...

i am happy that our work is appreciated :)

i hope all of you are glad that u donated a device to us... hope we can live upto the expectations...

this is ROM/framework related issue.. currently we are focusing on kernel as it is the brains of the device... once kernel is optimized only that itself will have a MAJOR boost in device performance... ofcourse we will try our best to sort out as many issues as we can...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] podanimesh:
@doomlord

can we get stable overclocking..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
i dont know... i cant say for certain... as u guys already know many devs have been trying to get it working for ur device... we will need some time to get up to speed with this...

lots of testing needs to be done... now that we have device in hand we can try things..

lets hope we can get a stable overclock...

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
as far as i know,a single flag in build.prop does the trick
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
the GPU based HW accleration will only work on ICS... that too NOT IF ITS PORTED... only if its built from sources (i think)...

thats a placebo... has absolutely no effect...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
@ doomlord

I read somewhere that CM7 has already have BLN. Have u contacted to codeworkx? Is there any positive progress related to BLN...?

Sory if it look like EAT :):):):)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
I have already contacted codeworkx and neldar...

P.S.: it's ETA (estimated time of arrival) not EAT :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
You mean ETA vish :P Not eat haha.

Also I noticed something, The v03 seems to have hiccups. I've used the 02 for 24 hrs straight without any flaws and haven't experienced any slow down's or hangup's everything was smooth, loaded up vr and smartassv2. But after flashing v03 today the phone seem's to struggle a bit :\ Like typing has those hiccups again aswell as homescreen lags.

Personally I preferred these settings only because it makes the phone feel like an S2 in terms of response and such, Battery consumption is fair aswell as performance is increased in gaming and so on :O, Roughly about 32% Which is amazing :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
Someone else had the same problem earlier.. He switched back to v9 and the problems still existed.. Most probably due to corrupt drivers from v14...

Doomlord suggested him to flash v7 first, then v8 and then v9... That person reported that it solved the problem.. So try doin the same..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Wahaha123:
Thanks man, ill try this soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
that "he" actually is me :p

just want to mention, please clear both cache and dalvik cache between each flashing.

After flashing till now, haven't experience any wifi error problem. :D

kernel for new value pack ?

here is normarlboot.img from the rom
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Napstar:
Have you tried installing current version directly?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
What have u decided using poll???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
I think the poll doesn't mean anything already since they found a patch to "Fixed CPUFREQ spikes outside cpufreq policy".

And I have a feeling that there won't be any newer version of this GB kernel.

At least for another few months...:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Napstar:
Dont be so disheartened my friend..

If you see the poll results, then 1380MHz is the choice of people.

So I decided to use a bit lower frequency i.e. 1350MHz instead of 1380MHz.

This is found to be stable in ICS.

And Yes, with current patches for CPU spike and smartreflex. these frequency should be stable with most of the devices available.

Hopefully, by the end of this week you will find v15 kernel for GB, becoz I am planning on releasing v16 for ICS soon and then I could change back to GB stock or CM/MIUI. (obviously using my anykernelramdisk update zip)
