Bootloader's locked...I see your plan is working wonderfully,too..... Look, the only thing this company is gonna understand is lack of income and THAT means quit buying their phones. When their bottom line is affected, then they'll get the message loud and clear. Until then, they're just arrogant, deaf and think their sh++ don't stink....make em think otherwise.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
I'm seriously tired of people saying that in every opmosh-related anything. Have you seen their Q4 sales to begin with? They're already basically broke. Their stock is 1/25th of Samsung's. They just don't care. Google is about to scoop them up. It'd be useless to just contribute to their temporary failure. Literally useless. Let's do something productive.

You could download doubleTwist and use their AirSync app to sync your music to your device.

You could use Google Music as well.

You could transfer pictures and small amounts of music using the AirDroid app to connect to your device via your machine OTA and wirelessly transfer the files you want to your device.

UPDATE: Undervolting the CPU tested (using nstools ARM+INT)

UPDATE: impact of different screen colours tested (amoled)

UPDATE: Running apps tested.

Please note, the running apps draw power for lots of different reasons, access RAM, CPU, I/O, Graphics, all use power, what's being displayed also uses power, eg a brighter 3D scene vs a darker 3D scene. But it does give an overall idea of what Amps might be pulled when you are using the phone normally.
[Nexus S General] mobile_pc:
Thanks for your hard works :) I'm impressed with the systematic research.

Many things just the theoretical possibility? just something we created in our minds...
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
Indeed, i agree. Now, with no benefit to under volting, perhaps we can all suffer less reboots.

For kernel benchmarks and more, see here: http://goo.gl/mpeHI
[Nexus S General] polobunny:
I have undervolted and overvolted in GB with direct impact on the battery life. The fact your undervolting tests show absolutely no difference in battery drain make me think the settings aren't even applied.

Also this part of your spreadsheet seems to be a bit lacking. What frequency voltages were changed? 100MHz? 200Mhz? All?

The smallest voltage I've seen stable for 100MHz ARM seems to be 825mv, for example.

Cheers
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
The frequency information is there in the first column, eg 400/400 means the min and max settings were both 400. If you're not changing frequencies you can get it down very low.

Yes, perhaps nstools is defective. However, i did get an instant reboot with the lowest setting. Want me to do a repeat in GB?

Okay, I went ahead and tested Gingerbread (carbon, ICS themed Oxygen 2.3.1, android 2.3.7) using franco's last kernel for GB. Starts at row 329.

[Nexus S General] tchaari:
Some reserves

First, I want to thank you for all your efforts in the benchmarks especially for the battery drain. However, I kindly have some reserves on this. Maybe undervolting does not save so much power at idle but at higher loads, energy can be surely saved. Besides, maybe the energy saved is too minimal for your analog multimeter and it can't be noticed on it.

This is the theory :

source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_voltage_scaling

And this a more practical reference about a study made by tom's hardware on AMD Athlon clock, voltage and power consumption. I think it can be generalized (at a smaller scale) for our ARM processor in the nexus S:

source (you may also read the entire article. It is very significant):

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/processor-power-management,2453-9.html

Other scientific papers and studies can be also found stating that undervolting saves power.

Kind regards.
[Nexus S General] t3xboar:
I also appreciate all the hard work you have done for testing, on both kernels and everything, but im going to "gingerly" throw my hat in with tchaari here...

The only way to actually test battery drain would be to attach a multimeter and let it drain all the way on every test, using every kernel, and every setting - multiple times to omit false positives. Obviously this is beyond the acceptable timeframe it would actually take to accomplish. anyone would go insane sitting there waiting. :rolleyes: :D

there are nuances here that will affect results regardless how carefull one is. the program itself might suck juice, your kernel/gov choice affects how the program runs too...also the status of your battery makes a difference. is it past it's half cycle life? etc..then the multimeter is another massive factor. there are many many different types not saying yours is bad, but over the years as an electrician ive played with some that are $20 as well as $2000 - and they are a far cry from each other even though they both do the exact same functions!

The undervoltage is a prime example. there are so many factors that will affect the results it's unusual to see your sheet having barely any differences - when we know that undervolting does actually save you battery under loads.

so it's nice to see a massive sheet like you did, as it does give a good start point reference - but it should be used not as chipped into stone law either.

Thanks for taking the time to give a great, no excellent base line to work off of though and preform more intense testing if people would like to go that far. :)
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
What program? I'm playing a loop of silence in the music app to keep the processor awake.

The multimeter I'm using isn't fancy, but even if it's reading 10% down, it's doing it for all readings, so it's a fair comparison.

What makes you say we know this? I want to get to the bottom of this, so i need to see a concrete source.

Tchaari posted the capacitance times volts squared times frequency formula. I know this, and when I adjust the ARM voltage by more than half a volt, i expect to see this:

0.8x0.8=0.64

1.5x1.5=2.25

That should be 3.5 times as much power use.

Now, double the power in the dB scale is a difference of ~3dB. 3.5 times ~5dB. And I can notice a change of 1/5th of a dB on my multimeter's scale. There was no change. Here is how i tested.

Start music. Go into nstools, set ondemand with min and max at the same frequency. Go to volt, select the lowest possible voltage for that freq and exit. Screen off, measure amps. Screen on, nstools, volts, highest volts this time, exit, screen off, measure amps. Result: identical.

Seriously, if you have a background in electronics, have a go yourself (NO ONE SHOULD TRY THIS THEMSELVES) and get back to me.

In theory, it should save power, but it isn't. I'd love to be able to say why. At this point i don't think it's a problem with nstools, because i got a crash the second i put the volts to minimum when i was testing on Steve's kernel in ICS.

[Nexus S General] Harbb:
As contradictory as some of these results may (or may not) be, bedalus is in the right with his methodology as far as i can see. Though at this point nothing should be set in stone. Not yet at least.
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
A few people saying with UV that they get more screen on hours, up from 3 to 6 hours. I'll check amps pulled (with both UV and OV) with screen on next.

Sent from my SNES
[Nexus S General] tchaari:
That is a good idea bedalus but it seems that undervolting gain is very minimal instantly. In a long period, it can make some difference in battery life...

I have also many doubts about how sensitive your amps-meter is? Since we are dealing with small values in our case, maybe a more sensitive device can measure some difference that yours can't...

Anyway, your work is very interesting and as Harbb said : At this point, nothing should be set in stone yet.

So you have already flashed a stock ROM based on the latest OTA and you are getting problems? I have been reading that the latest OTA has bugs and people who have never been rooted have been getting restarts and FCs.

I have flashed the same 4.53.651.1 rom as well (expcept it was deodexed) on my spare EVO; however, I have not played with it to see if there are any problems with it as I do not have enough time and I am just getting ready to get rid of it.

Hey,

I know there is a similar thread to this but I just can't find it. Sorry guys.

Well let me tell the problem. After removing the backcover a few times I find that the backcover started to make squish sounds. Sounds come off from somewhere in middle of right side between volume and video button. It is clear that something has broken but can't figure out what. Issue seems to come from the backcover scratching the bezel. This makes me for the first time think about letting my amaze go. Tell me what you think please.

[HTC Amaze 4G] vzontini:
If you take the back cover off and you look on the back just to the top left corner of the battery there is a small spring loaded contact. If you look at the corresponding area inside of the back cover you will see a small mark on the aluminum where it is rubbing (on the inside about half way down from the bottom of the volume rocker and the top of the camcorder button).

It seems like too much of a coincidence that there is a spring loaded bearing in the exact area causing the squeaking and that not be part of the issue.

Does anyone know if that is an electrical contact like some of the other ones on the top half of the phone?

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. The back cover does not creak, pushing down on any part of the screen doesn't make any noise. Flash does not bleed into any photos. I'm thinking the two are related. If the back is not on tight, then it will creak and allow the flash to bleed onto the lens cover.

In any launcher (Google it!) I have used the answer is no. In some cases like ADW Launcher, you can a "Launcher action" that gives an icon you can tap to open the app drawer.

In custom launchers it is also not uncommon to be able to bind such a thing to a gesture, like swipping your finger up or down the screen.
