Oh, and I'm happy to report that my wlan_rx_wake lock issue seems to be completely resolved now! :good::victory:

I left Wifi policy at always, let my phone sleep for the past 5h 30m from a full charge, and it's still at 98% battery.

That's 0.4%/h! Un****ingbelievable! Deep sleep ~97% AND only ~5m of wlan_rx_wake in that whole time!

Thank you franco! M6 is truly full of spiderwebs and magicks. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace-user:
can anybodt explain to me what 's this mediaserver thing? it's causing wakelock on my phone…battery is draining like crazy…
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
That's usually associated with listening to music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mevordel:
Are you playing music in the background?

Edit. Beat me to it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace-user:
no i didnt listen to music…the last time i listen to music was yesterday…and i already exit the music player and did a full charge after that…
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Empty Hand:
Getting better battery life on M6, but still not like many of you report. I'm on AOKP build 4, wheatley governor 384-1228. Here's my kernel wakelocks for the past 6 hours. Any suggestions or other screen shots that would help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Don't use aokp and don't use Wheatley, use interactive with everything stock.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Empty Hand:
I heard wheatley is better for battery life. I just switched to it in the last couple days. Interactive is better?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Yep, interactive is better overall. Google recommends it and Franco recommends it. If you really wanna suck a little bit extra out of your battery, go with OnDemand, but really, Interactive (or dyninteractive, try both) are your best bet. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Empty Hand:
Anything look out of the ordinary with my wakelocks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
Your signal looked awful in that pic. Were you in a bad service area?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
You should make idle dump..so charge up to 100%, remove charger (to have reference point) and leave your phone untouched for couple of hours. And then check your wakelocks again :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Empty Hand:
I get pretty much no signal at my house. My wifi works well though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace-user:
what does android system do?it's also causing wakelocks…
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SUTHRNFRIED:
I've moved so far away from "stock" settings I can't even remember what they were. Do you recall the orig interactive settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
lol its the phone itself.... theres a bunch of processes related to it though so might be one of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evostevo1:
This is when Franco can sit back and enjoy all the positive comments on his kernel. I have a question. Why couldn't the phone come like this? Wtf!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
Because franco is not (yet) a part of the official android kernel development team
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace-user:
but normally it wont "keep awake"…but now it does and it's draining alot of battery…
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
Well that's a problem because poor signal can cripple your battery life as your phone is constantly trying to connect to a cell tower, causing a lot of wakelocks to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Byte:
LOL.

He's certainly part of mine :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
hmmm for some reason when i try to install franco app, it says "unknown error code during application install -24" all other apps work, but maybe because this is the only the paid app i have. oh and this happened after i upgraded to PA 2.21 from 2.20. something really messed up happened and all my app data got reset :/ never happened to me before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
Stop play store. Clean app cache and data. Restart and try again. I'm pretty sure that's what I did to fix it when it happened to me once (different app). That process seems to work for pretty much all errors that the store (occasionally) gives me. If you want you can try just clearing app cache first.

If the above doesn't work add fix permissions as the final step.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
didnt work. i even tried side loading the app, but it said could not install... so weird only happens with this app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farfromovin:
When 4.1.2 dropped, I ditched my normal EuroskankCM/Franco setup and ran stock for a few hours. I was disgusted. Disgusted at the lack of smoothness honestly and it surprised me. I thought it would be real slick, but apparently not as slick as Franco :):beer:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Empty Hand:
If I have wifi on at home and I disable mobile data to keep the phone from trying to connect to a tower, what phone functions will I lose? No calls? Anything else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
ok so i manually got the apk, put it in data/app and set permissions and it works now. so weird...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
No its not. Init.d support is given by adding a service call of the init.d folder into the ramdisk, which has nothing to do with the kernel.

No idea. SYNC_LOST was there when I undervolted the screen panel. If that gamma interface does it then I don't know and I'm really not interested in figuring it out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
M6 is amazing so far, battery life has improved over r276 and the overall system is more responsive, though I've noticed a couple of funny things like notifications not taking me to the app like email but screen just shoots off and Wi-Fi showing three bars instead of four when near two meters to my AP, but will continue testing it.

So far so good.

Thanks FF.

P.s.: my GN JB is completely stock no kernel's parameters modifications and using stock Rom.

So is there a solution for the random data loss?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
Milestone 6 384GPU or 512 GPU :P ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
Not here. I have the EXACT same set up as you right now. Are you taking pics indoors or outdoors?

No random data loss here.

Since you're using Wi-Fi, data goes thru that. Calls and txt goes thru cell. So turning off mobile data won't do anything while on Wi-Fi. Now, since you have a bad cell signal at you're house, you mainly have two choices. 1.) Call your carrier's customer service and tell them you're area has horrible signal. They'll create a ticket for your area and investigate. They may or may not do something about it. 2.) Switch to a better carrier if you can. The other less reasonable choices are get a different phone with stronger radios or move to a different house/area. Lol

EDIT: Damn auto correct!

384MHz only for milestones. So you gotta wait for the next nightly like me to get 512MHz even tho m6 has been great so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kunalwanvari:
Phone keeps switching off randomlly/reboots ! Esp while whatsapping ! On m6 ! M5 had no problems at all .. Even the n/w seems a lil off .. Can any1 confirm ?

Something wrong with your setup, try with a clean rom or change rom.

even i faced random shutdown problems while phone is in deep sleep since 28X nightlies

i m not blaming the kernal ill install a fresh rom then report back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoscoeDpG:
Franco what is the biggest difference beetween nightly #281 and M6? both run great M6 runs little smoother overall but #281 gets me better overall battery. Im happy with both just curious what could cause the diff i have ran few days on each and always about 10% longer on 281
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ak:
That's right but is part of the kernel. If you don't have right ramdisk you dont have working kernel.

For sync lost there is a patch into official cm10 gerrit site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
franco includes his own ramdisk, which is why init.d support works with his kernel, but many kernels don't include a ramdisk and just use the one from the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ak:
Ramdisk is not inside of ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
You're right, I overgeneralized and meant "included with the ROM package", but when you switch to franco kernel it overwrites whatever ramdisk you had before, be it stock or CM, whereas other kernels often don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Desktop and server linux distributions do not need RAM disk. Everything can be compiled into kernel. Why android requires it?

Have you tried it recently? Mine couldn't handle the 512 kernels for a long time, but Franco recently changed the GPU voltages (maybe in r277 and up?) and my GNex has been working well with the recent nightlies at 512. Of course at the moment I'm running M6 so I'm back at 384.

No problems if 384 doesn't work right ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
That's really weird but I guess not. Try restarting because 8 seconds doesn't make sense lol even if your input boost and high-speed freq is 729 or 1036 I think it should still use 384 more than that specially for low priority tasks

Is it true that some phones can't even handle 384 gpu over clock and as a result suffer from negative effects?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mpokwsths:
No, it's not true. Actually, almost all phones can handle 512 Mhz with the proper voltage settings. The ones that display artifacts at 512Mhz work pretty good after cranking up a notch the GPU voltage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
no I'm pretty sure all can handle 384. Haven't heard of any that aren't able to yet or else Franco wouldn't put that as his stock speed

Regarding Battery life and Franco kernel

I dunno what you guys are doing but I just started using MS5 with Codename Android on a GNex GSM and at my best I was able to get 50 hours on battery. I send probably 10-20 texts a day, a handful of e-mails and 1-2 five minute phone calls. I also post a few times on FB and some Tweets and may do a little browsing. I also use BT during the day to stream music to a BT speaker I keep on my desk at work. I turn off BT when I'm not using it and I keep Wifi off unless I'm using it. Additionally, I use auto-brightness.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tarun95:
I have no idea. Never faced any problems. Been on your nightlies for so long. Its only with m6. Tried reflashing but same thing and I am on 4.1.2. Maybe that's causing the problem ? I'll tell u what I did to come to this setup.

Flashed yakju 4.1.2 through toolkit

Root and then cwm.

And then flashed m6 and installed busy box to xbin through busy box installer.

How do I use 2g mode only. I see how to toggle 4g, but not 3g/2g. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Is that a custom ROM thing? I know that doesn't affect anything on stock since the autobrightness levels are hardcoded in an xml table inside framework-res.apk.

2%/h idle drain is crazy high, and it looks like you've got the issue I used to have with wlan_rx_wake locks. Did you look at Alarms and Network? Those are the 2 you need to look at to see what was using all the data/keeping your phone awake. You need to remove the rogue apps doing that and you should hopefully see an improvement. If all else fails and you can't figure it out, you can also change your wifi sleep policy to "off when deep sleep" and that will reduce your wlan_rx_wakes to acceptable levels. You really need to try and remove the apps causing it first though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk8oldschool74:
Is v6 supper charge bad to have in a ROM... If so how can I remove it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
It turned out I didn't have that feature. I had it on Windows Phone though and when I mentioned it on a Android forum people told me that is a feature in Android as well so I just assumed it was standard.

However after investigating the matter today I noticed it does not make a difference. It's a shame because it is a good feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jltorrente:
2%/h in idle is crazy high??? Damn, I was HAPPY when I achieved that with M6 because I was convinced that my battery life was improving, my average value is about 6-7 hours... :S... I'm on M6 and CNA 3.6.6 and I gave up on good battery life, as to me a 2 hour screen time is a huge achievement... :S

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
Sorry to bring this back up again..but antenna is just a stupid passive thing and chip is that microcontroller that does the active stuff. And by looking those pics/texts in the link I posted you'll see that the antenna is in battery (step 5) and the chip (controller) is in the mainboard (step 12). Anything else would be just nonsense IMHO :rolleyes:

maybe this is just some lingual misunderstanding (my native language is not even close to English as you can see:D), but it would nice to clear things up :)

Anyway, just clean flashed new rom, flashed M6 on it and wow this feels even snappier than before :D definitely best one so far. Idle drain with 3g & sync was only about 0,4-0,5%/h (with previous rom version) :D

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

Like osm0sis said, you probably have some rogue app, or something else that is keeping traffic going on in your wifi..as suggested, try looking alarms and network stats...those probably give you pretty good hints about the culprit. Normal idle drain should be about 1/2-1/4 of that :eek:

also have you flashed some new radios etc? Dunno if that could cause stubborn wakelocks (incorrect RIL or something like that..).

Turning from 3g to 2g doesn't really fix your problem..it might help a bit, but still there's obviously an issue to be cured :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nuwan32:
its not bad, it just changes the oom values to be more aggressive so you have more ram and your phone feels faster, but for this phone, or any phone that has more than 512mb ram it isnt really useful. and when you flash franco kernel, it sets its own oom values and uses whatever the kernel has, so v6 wont be used anyway.
