Is there any portion of the kernel that can help with grabbing 4g signal and holding it more consistently?

My signal seems to be improved both grabbing and holding onto 4g (and 3g for that matter) since I flashed from stock with 403 radio to the newest team kang and your 11 (just flashed 12, will continue to test).

I'm on AOKP and 18.3 has been fine for me so far. I was only getting the SOD on 18.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kidd_Funkadelic:
18.4 just threw me off a cliff. I was on 18.2 I believe. It booted up and quickly froze and rebooted. It came up a second time and while I was trying to drop the max CPU in the performance settings (via the ROM menus - Codename), it rebooted again. Now I can't get past the google logo. I've rebooted into recovery several times, tried clearing dalvik, and cache, reflashed 15 and 13 that I still had, and still stuck at the google logo! I've never had any kind of issue like this.

Ugh!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Well 15 and 13 don't have the overclock to that high, correct? I don't know what to tell you other than trying to sideload faux's reset kernel or doing a factory wipe at this point (which should wipe out your kernel).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
I suggest trying the reset kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neverhappy:
You most likely migrated to 18.4 and left your max freq >1.5Ghz. The kernel will loose its mind. I had the same thing happen. I save a few kernels on my sd card.

If you have 18.2 saved on the SD, get into CWM, wipe and install 18.2 again. Set the max cpu freq to something like 1200 and go thru the 18.4 flash process again.

Franco's changelog describes all of this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Precisely. 90% of the reboots from 18.3 forward are because of this and the conflicts SuperReflex 1.5 has with > 1.5ghz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] far_star:
I had my 1st reboot ever on 18.4 this morning while using navigation in the car. I was set to 350-1500 before upgrading from 18.3 to 18.4. I wiped cache and davlik-cache before flashing 18.4. I am running AOKP build 23 which has never given me trouble before.

Is temp a factor in random reboots ? If so can anyone recommend a temp monitoring app ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kidd_Funkadelic:
Hmmm, I guess this isn't all contained in the kernel itself? I tried 3 earlier franco kernel's and an advanced restore from my last nandroid (bluehartford). None of that worked.

Thankfully, my nandroid from the 16th, just before my last CNA upgrade saved the day. The first time I've ever had to use a nandroid backup :)

Perhaps Franco you should add some kind of patch in the download app, or at least put a giant note about upgrades past 18.3 requiring the OC to be dropped down first???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
I presume that is; it's in the Change Log on the App. Are you using the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kidd_Funkadelic:
I am using the app. Now I didn't actually read the change log in the app itself this time around because I read the first post of this thread. It says users were having issues w/ the higher OC, but it doesn't say that you need to manually adjust these settings prior to flashing.

Perhaps that should have been an obvious thing to change ahead of time in hindsight, but only because hindsight is 20/20 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
No I hear ya. I do it just in case b/c I'm ridiculously OCD/paranoid lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
out of curiosity how many of you leave your 4g on all day?

also... do you use a widget to turn it off? & if so which one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
I leave it on but I leave WiFi on as well.

I use the toggle in AOKP/CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neverhappy:
right off the bat, I got in the habit of shutting off 4g and use only 3G. It would suck the battery. I guess for grins, it would be worth trying again. 4g for a person like me, that does not live near a major city, has been disappointing at best. It is too dam spotty, at least for south of Boston. I know of only 2 locations in a 25mi diameter that it worth using it. Wish it was everywhere, but it's not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GooTz66:
I keep it off unless I really need it and use wifi whenever/wherever I can. I get horrible reception and data while at work where even my 3G is spotty, so lte just drains cuz mainly always looking for signal or switching back and forth to 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phydo:
I'm sure this has been posted before but I can't search on my phone. Does anyone have gamma settings that get rid of that awful blue tone?

Edit: nvm set all the multipliers to 0 in his app. Looks OK now. However I think my kernel burned up on the way home; burned like 40 percent in an hour of screen off. I think maybe a voltage setting. I reboot the phone does that reset the voltages?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azsl1326:
Can someone tell me how to enable Hotplug? Do I use Terminal and the script listed on the 1st page?

Thanks, in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
I believe that's just to check. Did you get the app? It's in Settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RussianMenace:
Yeah just use the command listed in the OP. Alternatively, you can navigate to the hotplug_enabled file using file explorer and manually open it as text and change the value from 0 to 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RussianMenace:
Btw, manual method has to be done every time you reboot... But you could probably just make an init.d script to enable on reboot.

AOKP b25 Running super smooth at 1.4 with ondemand, not a hiccup! No UV...Franco I never had a single problem on any kernel..except 17.2 at 1.5 had 1 reboot so just lowered the Max an was fine...I never UV either, I think some of your guys really push things far with all the other tweaking for basically no battery gain...I do all installs for Roms an kernels by the book and never have a problem...knowledge is power, Thanks again Franco!

Was running great at 1.65, and at 1.5 on 18.3. I've had a dozen reboots now on 18.4 at 1.5. dropping down to 1.4 solved it, but it was nice running at 1.65 while it lasted. =D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopes:
Where is the file located?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Is it odd to run on 1.65 with no random reboots/problems (aside from battery)? Saw that it said it wasn't stable for everyone, but it works for me. AOKP build #25

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
I turn my data off

And Franco maybe disabling smartreflex is a good thing. The reason why I say that is 18.4 yields great battery but I'm getting the best battery on 18.2! One of the difference is disabled smartreflex. I've got it slightly UV. There was another user who had the same opinion and he posted a screen on time of over 5 hours a few pages back. I really dont know what could be making 18.2 so amazing on battery but this is just my uneducated guess. Thanks a lot Franco and I'm really missing the 1300,1400 steps that 18.4 has. I've been running 18.2 on stock settings besides the UV. I've been trying lots of different kernels and I must say these 18.... versions have been insanely fast. Keep up the crazy progress kernel Wiz ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
Are you running default voltages?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psohn:
So far 18.4 is working great for me. The lag issues are gone and battery life has been great too. I actually hit 4hrs of screen on time for the first time, the max I got before was 3 hrs 30 mins. I'm running AOKP m3 with auto brightness on, conservative 700/1200, and some under volting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ti-89rox:
Franco, any word on if/when your app will be updated to support 4.0.4? I may have to downgrade down to .3 if not :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danman7:
I am running 18.4, having cleared cache and Dalvik both before and after flashing.

I am pleased with the performance, but still getting heavy battery drain from the kernel. Lots of kworker threads. I've asked before and received no answers. Does anyone know what may be causing this, out how I could troubleshoot it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
It works just fine with 4.0.4 I have to update the app description :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Have you tried a fresh download/install of the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ti-89rox:
Thanks for answering. I've dl'ed the app but after a couple reboots, ive noticed that the color changes and UV's are not sticking after the reboot. Could this be a .4 issue? Or is this the natural behavior of the app. Thx!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Soon to be fixed by franco, set on boot color fix
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jerminator617:
So I'm not completely sure what I did, but here's pretty much the step by step of what happened. I installed your updater app and installed 18.4. After my phone rebooted, I went in and set the max to 1500 and the minimum to 700, and I was just trying to see what all of the different governers do, and when I set it to ondemand, my phone rebooted, which I thought wasn't very normal since I was just changing the governer, and then when it started back up, as soon as it got to the lock screen, it rebooted again. This time it just set at the nexus splash screen, I even left it for about 25 minutes just to make sure it wasn't going to start. So I pulled the battery, and went into recovery. Now for some reason this is where I was stupid, I hadn't made a backup yet. So I pretty much tried everything I could, I cleared cache, dalvik cache, tried flashing another kernel, re-flashing the rom, nothing worked, it would just sit at the same screen indefinitely. So finally I decided to clear data, and finally that worked.

Anyway no harm done to the phone or anything I'd just like to know what caused this to happen? That way I don't do it again... Because I'd rather not go through that again. Being without a phone was horrendous :p

EDIT: Awesome, as soon as I post that something else. :/ Now for some reason my phone keeps freezing randomly, and rebooting. Sometimes it will fully reboot and sometimes it will get stuck on the splash screen. What in the world did I do?! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
You gotta lower your max from 1500
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danman7:
Well, since the d/l MD5 sum matches, I don't think there's a point to that.

It also doesn't help in that I still don't have a clue how to determine what is causing all this activity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danman7:
This, while it was pretty much just sitting in my pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jerminator617:
It was running fine at 1500 for a couple days but when I changed the governor it messed up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yhbrandon:
What app is that?

I was having the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seegs11:
What app is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
Until you guys are sure that your new settings work properly , Do Not check the "set on boot" box., either on franco 's kernel settings or the rom s performance settings. Either one will make the settings stick.

Same thing when you're flashing a new kernel : reset your governor ,frequencies and voltages to Google s defaults

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuzzinz:
What kind of deep sleep do you guys see with normal daily use? Like not plugged in at work lol.

EDIT: OK so I have been messing around with different OCs and UV and on 18.3 @ 1350 I got the first scores in antutu

Then messing around on 18.4 with only a 25mv difference and 1400mhz my scores are like this

What gives? I reflashed the right way clearing caches before and after with no better results.

I know I know benchmarks are not the end all be all performance is great but this is too drastic of a difference. And before when I would adjust my voltages I would clearly see an increase in my antutu scores @700/1350 w/ 1200mv.

Is antutu really that unreliable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeacela:
Since the 1200, 1300, and 1400 MHz have the same voltage, technically my phone should have similar batterylife when I'm running 1400 MHz as in comparison to 1200?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dennis_:
Actually probably better since the tasks get done faster with same voltage used per sec.

Working great for me too. For grins, I'm trying 350-1500 conservative and hotplug for the next couple of days.

I am not setting uv. While I'm not afraid to try uv, I want to find a stable baseline first. To do uv right, I need to be willing to dedicate a good portion of time to stress testing. As it is, my family can not understand how I spend so much time playing with this phone already.lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maverixz:
Got the app and it was used to install the latest but when I set the maxcpu to 1400 or 1500, with a check in set at boot, the max setting returns to 1200 after a reboot.

Has anyone tried OC'ing with 18.5? The app started freezing a bit when mucking around so I left it at 1200.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Franco has stated that you may not be able to OC so high, he made an adjustment to mpu?

Saw that in the log as well, was unsure if anyone tested the limits ;). It'll remain at 1200 regardless, no real need for other speeds other than benchmarks really.

Got the app and it was used to install the latest kernel but when I set the maxcpu to 1400 or 1500, with a check in "set at boot", the max setting returns to 1200 after a reboot. Governor is set at ondemand and Uv was set to 1400mhz/15oomhz values. Do you have a recommended baseline of optimized values that works? I'm running the 4.0.4 Rom.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeppelinmad4:
Is the sound change automatic or upon reboot? I turned on some music, plugged in my headphones and went into the app. I tried going from 0-15 and 15-0 but didn't notice any difference.

I don't care about my music being louder, just notifications. But I figured that would be a good way to test the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaddymanLNL:
this kernel is great, but strange

last few days it seems if i am not on wifi the battery is really really bad.

i went back to 16.2, still same issue

now i wanted to try a new kernel, so i downloaded it today, just now, and of course, just now, franco kernel now decides to beast out and show me im getting exceptional battery life for the last few hours.

you think it got scared and started acting right? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zane_Grey:
Seems like notifications reset the audio boost. Set to 15 music was a lot louder received a Gmail notification and it was back to normal. Had to reboot to reset the boost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablospeed:
I'm so disappointed with this kernal AFTER the 18.2 update. Won't hold Oc or uv. And it is severely sluggish. Roll this thing back please. I am on the cm9 release and have no other tweaks enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mountainbyker:
Seems like max volume much much lower. I'm still running volume +, does it hurt with 18.5?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upther:
Found a small issue with the 18.5 kernel and the sound hack. I use the Rdio service and when I set the sound enhancement to 15, it will play for about 15 seconds and then pause. If I scale it back to 10 or 12 it keeps playing at works fine. Don't have much time to play now but I'll fool around with it later and get a logcat for the happenings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Dont overclock = problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Correct me if I'm wrong franco but smartreflex recalibrate voltage every 24 hours so it takes a few charge cycles to get the maximum benefit. I'm sorry I should have quoted the person asking the question about battery life getting better with more use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
The kernel is lightning fast and great on battery so if your getting reboots you have 2 choices and that's bump the voltage up because your phone can't handle it on stock volts or go back down to a lower more stable speed. Its all about stability guys so please allow your phone to work like it should. I know some like high bench marks and that's cool but that's about the only benefit you'll get from over clocking. The UI can only move so fast and luckily franco has us at that point
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Well stated and my thoughts precisely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
I wonder if the nexus kernel can be incorporated with beats sound? Chad.Goodman over at evo 3D has it rolling hard. Maybe Franco can hook up with him and talk it out. :)

Used them on many occasions and use to have a pair before I flipped them. You can get a much better product for your money. Anything made by Monster is a joke, just like their $100 HDMI cables. Just goes to show how far branding and marketing will take such a ****ty product.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeppelinmad4:
I'm gonna have to agree that it's gimmicky. With the correct settings in DSP Manager, I can get better sound out of the headphones that came with the Nexus.

Not to mention, I believe you need proprietary HTC files for it to work. Unless someone has somehow figured out how to get "beats audio" on a non-HTC phone already, I believe it is impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
DSP takes away the crisp from the beats headphones and makes it rattle. The best option for use with beats is the alsamixer w the headset set to "15". I agree with the HTC files tho. It would be awesome. Let alone that my HP touch pad comes with Beats for music, sounds awesome. Can't beat beats tho.
