I'm running BlackIce Kangorade 37, which is mostly based on AKOP m37 but not completely. Someone in his mod thread suggested francokernel for the best balance of performance and battery, and that's how I got here. :) Been running it for months, it's been my favorite so far...not too intrusive and dark themed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shohratshankar:
I have become Paranoid

I realised constantly checking the forums creates a sort of Paranoia.

Yesterday I was running AOKP B37 & R174. I was aware that 175 was out and had downloaded and kept. Was testing 174 to see if I had any issues.

I had gone to meet someone when I saw that I had no data on the phone. Immediately thought it was a kernel problem and flashed 175 while standing out on the road.

On reboot after flashing saw that there was still no data, got worried and thought 175 didn't work either. I couldn't go to the forum and check others comments as no internet. Tried rebooting and reflashing 166 to see if data works, still didn't.

I gave up finished my work and headed home. The moment I got out of the area I was in my data came back on its own.

The drop had nothing to do with ROM, Kernel, Radio, Baseband, etc.....

It was the damn network.

:-)

As I think about it I realised; earlier I would never have got so paranoid about a data drop. Sometimes I would wait it out or I would reboot.

Now I seem to think it is a problem with my phone: Either the kernel or the ROM or radio, etc.....

Do you think that sometimes all of us are over reacting over some issues??

15 mins of battery life more or less

One data drop here or there

little heating up of the phone

one FC or random reboot in a week

One signal bar more or less

Etc...

I think we don't realise the number of variables that come into play here.

Despite all variables, I find this kernel to be BLOODY BRILLIANT!! :)

Keep up the great work Franco and thanks a ton for working to iron out any issue your users have. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
Franco, I definitely love what you're doing with the kernel. It's fast, stable (at least the Milestones are) and has great battery life. Most of all, you listen to feedback from your users. That's what's great about XDA's developer community, is that there are opportunities for the devs to interact with the users in a way that cannot happen with stock OEM development. I'm glad to see that you are using those opportunities to your advantage.

Now, a question: Is there going to be some point in the future we we will be able to set our own power profiles in the app? That way, we don't have to manually adjust the settings.

Thanks,

Fred

175 has been great. No data drops and battery life is as good as the best of them.

Ran gmail, corporate exchange email, few phone calls and some web action. After 9hrs I was still at 82%.

Running the 512 GPU version set to 729 min 1228 (or whatever it is) max and 729 when screen off max. on AXIOM CMPLX V1

I'm new to this kernel and the G Nex. I did do some searching and cannot find if this has manual color adjustments available?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leets4uc3:
It does. Just buy his awesome app. There is not better dev or kernel.

Thank you Franco. I still haven't had a loss of signal or anything!

For everyone, what rom should I try? I have only used aokp and liquid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duowing:
Well with out changing/updating, making sure I have the UGLC1 RIL with modem, and 175 my phone has been doing really good. I think the RIL matching to modem helped too because I've even seen better and less drops at work where normally it would drop out quicker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
Yep, u can do it with terminal..or buy his app, I believe instructions on first page

I'm getting random wi-fi drop with r175

I mean my Nexus disconnect from the wi-fi @ my office very frequently when on r175, but that didn't happen in the past. Switch back to r16x and the wi-fi is acting normal again.

shall I provide log to help debug this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dimako83:
Got 2 signal drops with 175 :(

It looks like it is worse then it was with 165 when I started using this kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bavilo:
Ive also gotten data drops on r175 :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I had over night data drop like with 174, in my opinion the battery life is too good to give a ****. I should be able to use wifi today to test if it drops when out of range.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
No data or signal drops here on r175. Stable as a rock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Mines up over that as soon as I wake it up

yeah was mine, whichever rom I use mine gets hot as.

Im going to try a different kernel (just to test) ;) to see if I can narrow it down to Franco's, i Hope not because the performance and battery I get is great.

I just dont want my phone bursting into flames suddenly :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
A few other kernels I've tried have baked my phones to 120°F!! Even 123 a few times!! :eek: I've never hit 120 on any of Franco's. 114 is highest I ever gotten that I've seen and that's rare.. If temp is your issue you can always undervolt and it will run cooler.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
You do realize that data drops aren't always because of the kernel, right?

Franco can only do so much, the rest is up to Google, Samsung and ROM developers...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bavilo:
Do you want us to ignore the drops? Franco wants to know if the drops are still occurring, since he is trying to get rid of them...he needs to know that they still occur... so I don't know what the point of your comment was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
Using nightly 175 @384 MHz (no overclock or custom voltage tweaks) with AOKP #37 and everything is sweet and smooth. No signal drop outs here.

Great work. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
I do realize that, but if many users (including me) get drops with 17x kernels but not with 13x-16x kernels, i think that there's something changed in newest kernels (or rom/kernel/baseband/ril/network combination...who knows).

But there's also users who has no drops at all, and users who has drops with older kernels and no problems with newest kernels. I think that there is too much variables to solve whole signal/data drop issue.

Edit. With 175 no drops yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ke_be:
I can say one thing.. on cm9 and aokp with franco kernel I get sometimes data drop (on 16x version... 17x I don't test). But with oryginal imm76i + franco i don't have this issue :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marshy73:
For the first time... Not a single data drop in 24hrs.

Pretty much what I was eluding to in my last post. Before all this customization with ROMs, kernels and mods etc if there was a data problem it was simply the network acting up...

Running AOKP B37 and r175...used to have huge heat problems and just put up with for ages...yesterday i uninstalled nova facebook and google currents and did a pretty decent undervolt....my phone has been running fine ever since...see if this solves your problem and give franco seomething less to worry about

Btw i dont think i had single data drop on franco EVER! And where i live thats amazing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hki_peter:
which rom are your using ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sing1gnis:
Same here. My network data stays constant, but wifi will drop and I won't get emails until the screen comes on. Using r175. I thought raising the WLAN voltage was going to help, but I still have issues.

My bad, I forgot the last past I was going to add to that-

To show it's really the kernel causing the data drops at least post a radio logcat

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daddymatt:
I've been on FK since owning my Nexus. I'm currently on 175. I'm experiencing choppy calls... I don't use data (very rarely anyway) and use 2G networks most the time... that being said, if I am on 2G or 3G it still happens.. full bars, choppy calls. I have no idea if that is kernel related or not.. I always clean flash everything... I'm on aokp. Anybody know a way to improve this? It seems to be choppy at the beginning of the call and then get better after being connected a minute or two.

Try different baseband.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
Guys I suspect matching RIL is the key along with r175 for no data drops. I don't know why it does not effect m3 but it does for the new versions.

Also, is there a comprehensive list of what color settings/gamma settings work best by user experience? I am just using franco's recommended numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] willl03:
Didnt help for me still getting random drops on 175, and none on 160 -
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradm23:
Are the drops you guys talking about when coming from wifi to 3g? I have the LTE version and it runs great, but many times when leaving wifi the hand off isn't clean and it looses data until a reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Mine flickers grey for a few moments but then goes blue solid when I am in and out of wifi range. Nothing concerning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
That's what is supposed to happen when you lose/change connection.

the rest is super duper!!

FYI... is it just me or is the widget not self updating?

i have to press it to get most recent data... i freaked out because it said 75'C... with no use... then i pressed it VOILA... 32'C

Opened up no frills and saw device boots at 1.2 ghz and cranked it up to 1.4 ghz and had reboot trying to type a message in this thread.

I really admire you and Mike for making these things and not even owning the phone and your level of support is great for you both.

So after my random reboot I flashed back to 2.12.2011 and the instantaneous snappy ness almost telepathically fast speed is back. IMO 2.12.2011 is by far the best certainly for my needs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Aye. Some devices have problems with the Overclock version. It's ok, we're all still in a very experimental state.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JTECJ:
Hey Franco, do you have a PayPal account? The reason I ask is if you put your number or whatever we need to send you money i would be more than happy to contribute to you getting a device...I'm sure others would be willing to spare a few bucks to help you out as well. Just a thought as I'm not sure how that sort of thing works internationally.

Thank you all for your patience!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alanhsu:
Does the kernel affect tethering in any way?

Having erratic behavior with tethering. I am not able to access internet while the phone says I am tethered (I launched browser on phone and it gets data too). I tried both bluetooth/wifi tethering. Both are having issues.

Just want to know if its the ROM or the Kernel.

Any I had to read through last 3 pages of junk (to make sure I am not double posting the same issue), please use PM if its not directly related to the topic. Saves everybody time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pstevep:
ok ladies and gents. thread is closed for now, it will be cleaned and then reopened. once it is reopened please discuss things only relative to the kernel and its development. if you have issues with the way the the Dev in question is handling his reporting, please take it to PM and/or report to one of the moderators so we can look into it.

also i don't care if you are a dev, a n00b, an end user, or the guy who invented the cotton gin (and yes i know its Eli Whitney) do not flame one another. whether you are an idiot or not, it makes you look like one. the more name calling there is, the more likely it is that infractions/bans are going to be handed out. so please after reading this message while waiting for the thread to be unlocked after cleaning go outside get some fresh air and breath for a minute and relax.

i appreciate everyone's cooperation here, and thanks for playing.:cool:

::EDIT::

OK, Thread reopened, keep this thing on topic and no flaming. if you have issues with the dev or his ways PM him or mods or both. dont get other members involved. next person to flame or just post stupid crap is getting infracted. again thank you all for your cooperation.

Just an FYI mine does exhibit this behavior when I switch off wifi and it hands-off to give 3G the main connection. The signal bars do turn grey for a moment during the handoff and turns blue once established.

This is how the phone is supposed to be like since when turning on WiFi, it puts the 3G connection on hold (i.e not on) until WiFi connection is turned off or lost.

175 is being weird for me, best 4g life I've had (4% lost an hour) but sucky overnight wifi life (2% lost an hr). Giving how I'm on 4g more than wifi I don't mind one bit. Just strange to see. Usual is 6-10% an hr on 4g and 0.5-1% an hr on wifi when I'm sleeping. In the end though awesome job Franco. Never had data drops but still amazed that all the changes you've made to improve the data drops issue still ending up improving performance and battery for the rest of us with perfect data.
