better?

lol... I use my Inc2 as a music player so just playing it doesn't use much battery obviously.

Back to the GNex... The battery is not great but it isn't ****ty... 1hr20min screen on time so far running quadrant 3 times, AnTuTu twice and Benchmark and Tuning twice. I have fairly poor signal as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Easy!! Just disable whatever ur using to keep those voltages after a reboot, then reboot and waaaalaaa stock voltage: )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
The thing is that im using the ROm Control from AOKP... I dont know how to revert it :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno168:
Go rom control > Performance > untick set on boot. Then reboot, after that you should be on stock voltage.

Because sometimes if you undervolt too much you get computation errors. It's easy to see in any stress program that makes calculations to test the machine; if you UV too much, after 5 minutes of use, the program fails getting the correct number.

For this reason, great UV can make an stable system in low demanding situations but that needs a lot of CPU cycles to get a job well done, cause they have ti do the job several times (due to the errors) taking an impact on battery.

The best way to limit this problems is with a stress test used with only 1 freq at a time, for example 700Mhz, you stress the machine for 30 minutes and if you get 0 errors Then you have a go with this freq, after this you'll have ti try with another one and repeat this test with every freq you hav UVed.

The reason to try only one freq at a time is because the tests use always the higher resources available or more demanding, so you'd never test the lower freqs.

If you have a rock solid UV, I'm totally confident that you save more more battery than with a higher voltage.

I don't know if I've been very clear, sorry.

Hi Franco,

Just wondering if it's possible to include version numbering (as well as keeping the previous versions) in the folder http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Galaxy Nexus/

It would make it much easier to see what the latest version is, and allow people to revert to earlier versions if necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johno168:

franco quick question.. what does your kernels start out at min 700mhz? i looked but no mention of why...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
I would like to go back to the stock sdcard binaries. How do I do that and where do I take them from?

Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sg1969:
Did you really? It's been mentioned dozens of times...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minipaolo:
it has been discussed thousands times, but to make it quick:

700 as min makes your phone go deep idle faster because it takes less time to finish its tasks. It means you should get better battery life with 700 than 350.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SrTapir:
I dont't know if it's this kernel... but the UV capabilities are tremendous..

I've done an extense research this morning with a stress program an I have achieved amazing results.

Results using 2 freqs:

.....Stock..........................UV............

1000 - 1317..................1000 - 1050

700 - 1203......................700 - 900

Those results are a 25% less voltage than with the stock in a rock solid system (30 minutes of stress test, GPU+CPU)

Today I'll make a ground test with normal use of the GN, will inform with sensations and screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hi,

For my use #18.4 is very good for battery life,running all the time at 700Mhz-1.5Ghz/No undervolt/Ondemand governor/Screen brigthness set to 65%:

And with lots of benchs which eats lots of battery (19min on the total) :D

Screen-on time is good,without my benchs it's perfect!

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Wow... thats impressive. I seen better battery stats before but only from using Wi-Fi.

Are you on the stock 1700mah battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hi,

Yes with stock battery,yes there are better but now I will say this is my use just about right (except with benches),with overclock to 1.5Ghz and no undervolt I am more than satisfied :)

I could and I can underclock if I want more battery life,but with a kernel wich allows 1.5Ghz...I run at 1.5Ghz :D

And then it made ​​a kind of test to see how is battery life running at 700Mhz-1.5Ghz,it gives a little idea.

I never had to complain about battery life with Fransico's kernel :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikosrs4:
Maybe this is irrelevant but I had to post it somewhere, but has anyone seen battery drain when the battery hits 25% and after that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I've experienced that and I'm pretty sure thats related to how the kernel manages the device when its below X %. Dunno how it works with this battery driver but some or my devices lower the amount of voltage used when the device is below 20%.

Ya, I'm finding 100% stock settings on 18.4 is best for battery, heat, speed, smoothness, got little over 4 hours screen on time yesterday,data, GPS, screen on 75-80 % brightness . @Franco this one runs perfect ( they all run perfect usually for me ) but 18.4 is definitely "stable "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kashix:
by stock setting, sorry for being ignorant, you mean by setting any governer or just leaving it without tweaking anything?

First time my phone has accepted anything above 1350mhz. Now running at 1500mhz without any issues at all. Amazing kernel. Real smooth and no issues yet. Thank you Franco. :)

Not sure what is going on but I cannot install any kernel above 18.

My phone just bootloops after rebooting from recovery. Had to use

Worth a try, and if u try make she u shut off any and all kernel tweaks first . I don't no if makes a difference but I always go back to full stock settings before kernel flash
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
The voltage I have under volted 1.5GHz to is lower (1325mV) than what 1.2GHz is at default (1380mV)

Does this mean that running my device at 1.5GHz will have no effect on battery life or is there other factors effecting this?

This question does seem a bit silly, sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirj00:
my sequence on installing kernels:

1-wipe cache

2-wipe delvik

I believe undervolting doesn't save battery at all since smartreflex does that job for us.

Ya that's exactly what I do, but I reboot in between reset kernel and Franco kernel .and u shut down all apps/roms controlling voltage or CPU? If yes, Sounds like full factory wipe last step

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
I flashed 18.4. As always its great. Its very stable, no reboots or sod, and the performance is great. I just have an issue. When in menus, when I click an option to get into a sub menu there is a little lag. In addition the effect (transition effect which is the menu getting blue) also lags. This has been since 15.x for me. Has anyone else noticed it and how do i fix it. Its not a big deal I know but i would like it to be smoother. Taking that out the performance is on par with previous versions which for me is great. I am on gummynex 0.7.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foxehkins:
Does turning one core off while the screen is off use more power when you turn the screen on for it to come online? Especially for people that always check their phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sotoskawasaki:
Turning the second core off while screen is off is proven to save a lot of battery life so imho you can enable it without second thought..

I am getting lots of lag when going through menus etc, wasnt like this at all on the last kernel of yours (18.4) is anyone else having the same experience? Iam on stock voltage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nighthound:
On 18.4 the default voltage settings for 1200, 1300 and 1400 are all at 1380mV. Does that mean that running (for the same duration) at 1200 will use as much power as 1400? If that's the case, wouldn't setting 1400/700 be better than 1200/700?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkGruf:
Do you have problems downloading 18.5 ? It's VERY slow here. Is it me or Francisco's ftp ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pearse:
I'm having the exact same problem, wiped cache/dalvik and tried again and still same results.

Edit: It only happens when i select 1500Mhz in the franco app, putting it back down to 1400Mhz gets rid of all the lag.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
They're in the app itself. Go to edit them and he'll give you the suggestions.

Thats because without the MPU overide which Franco has removed in 18.5 I would presume most wont be stable at 1500Mhz.

Franco, I had to go back to 18.4...my phone didn't like .5 for some reason, same settings as .4.

I would hit the power button and it would take the screen 20 seconds to turn on before I could even touch anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
Are you using 1.5Ghz as your MAX?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
No, I was on 1.4ghz max/700mhz min
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
It sounds like your phone cant handle 1.4Ghz without the MPU overide enabled.

When the community first started overclocking very very few could do 1.4Ghz thats why the overclock was at 1.35Ghz for a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
Interesting...I always wondered that when I first got this phone lol. So theoretically, I probably could have handled 1.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
I have noticed something weird since flashing to 18.5, every now and again the phone will randomly close the current app and go to desk clock!

After it has done this everytime I make a call it defaults to loudspeaker! I have to manually turn off the loudspeaker to hear through the speaker as normal?

Strange!

during boot logcat only comes up when the system is loaded, does it have anything to do with the kernel? if so logcat (and adb) should come up asap during boot to help fix issues. Franco can you do anything for this?
