Franco a question and request :

- is it possible to enable faster charging with kernel changes ?

This would be something that many users will love given the high battery capacity and long charging times.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Via wall charger?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Techvir:
i have a 2amp charger. If the kernel could make use of all that power to charge, the battery could be charged in almost half the time.

I know the battery life can be reduced by this in the long run but i dont think is a big issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] garyd9:
The stock kernel will pull 950mA from the "factory" charger. There's no charging configuration in the stock kernel that allows more than 950mA. The summit chip used to pull the charge can max out at 1450mA, but I'm not sure the other internals of the hardware can handle that much power.

This is an area that people should be paranoid of - too much current can cause physical damage. Personally, I'd err on the side of caution in this...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ueihtam:
Sorry bro DarkyRom 3.3 franco #6

Other than this useless benchs, i was at 35% batterie left after 2d 7h, with 4h of calls, news/mails push and some web browsing with conservative.

Good job mate, best kernel ever =)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nuttdev:
Hi Franco,

Now I use Darky rom 3.3 + franco.Kernel#6 but I've got a few issue about deep sleep state.

When I plugged wall charge for charging my Note, leave it standby and come back to monitor with CPU Spy I've seen my Note not in deep sleep state but It's always in 200 MHz state. But after I unplugged everything it's OK. Got deep sleep state when standby.

Thanks for your excellence kernel.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nuttdev:
Thanks for your reply but I think I not have this issue when I use CriskeloRom v6 + Abyss 3.9

I'm not sure may be it's my mistake.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Techvir:
None of the standard kernels put the phone to sleep during charging. Is there a need for that ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lqrt:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] garyd9:
That might have been the flaw in my power drainage tests... The cores couldn't even go into AFTR because of charging.

It's going to be annoying to redo those tests without adb. Oh well..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Vatoe:
I had a weird issue today, where I lost the 'radio' part of my phone, as it turns out for a few hours (until I notice it) it seems. I tried to 'restart' the radio part by turning airplane mode on and off, but no joy. Rebooting the phone cleared the issue. Never had that before?

working on ICS kernel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] doclucas:
kernel sources 2.6.35.14

franco, Thanks for your great work!

Any reason why you don't use the newer and much more stable kernel sources 2.6.35.14 instead of kernel sources 2.6.35.7?

I am asking because any kernel that's based on sources 2.6.35.7 (even on official samsung roms) has a wake problem on both of my galaxy notes (I have 1 white and 1 black), but all kernels based on kernel sources 2.6.35.14 work flawlessly.

Looking forward for your response. Cheers!

EDIT:

The wake problem is that once the screen turns off and I try to turn it back on it gradually turns on with many colorful spots and the screen get brighter and brighter but I unable to see anything else unless I reboot. This happens on all kernels based on 2.6.35.7, including the original Samsung firmware based on that. I tested on both my notes, the black is made in China and the white is made in Vietnam. The problem is resolved on 2.6.35.14 based kernels.

I have the same issue, when i turn off my screen and immediately turn it on 2/5 times it has this issue. After waiting for 1 or 2 min, the phone wakes up. Sometimes it didnt and i needed to manually reboot. Also back to Abys 3.9 untill next update.

Thanks for all the effort, waiting for the perfect kernel ;) ciao :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Blue1k:
Weird. I'm not having any wake screen issues with V6. I find it wakes faster than when I had Abyss.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dahuzi:
Ok, after upgraded to V6, the phone was so existed and doesn't want to goto sleep. Within a few hours standby, the most of time the CPU was at 200MHz. And from Battery Usage menu in Setting, Android OS used the most power even more than Display.

Downgrade to V5, cleared timer in CPU Spy, power off screen for around 10 minutes, then backed to normal, 80% at deep sleep mode now.

I am using Darky's 3.3, during the comparison, no any setting and application changed.

Hello franco.

I think that v6 drains the battery faster...

I've never had Cell standby, voice calls, and phone idle taken more battery then display...

also, 17% gone in 7 hours, while I haven't touched it

I think its too much
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nobnut:
@liron_69 if you haven't touched it, why do you have display time?

4% gone in 13 hours in sleep. No drain here, even with crappy mobile reception.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eliashadow:
Same here...

v.6 looks like great kernel mate...;)

No drain at all and very good performance...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mccmjoon76:
Hi franciscofranco

Very good battery life on this v6 kernel is fantastic :D

Keep up the good work ... no big issue so far ..thanks .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] inertiax3:
That's only approx 0.31% per hour - excellent!! I suppose this is with DATA OFF (2G/3G and WiFi), right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] liron_69:
all is on

but still I haven't used the phone....

screen is only 8 minutes on

I think the kernel can do better ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gqinside:

Thanks for answering in advance :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nobnut:
No, everything is on except WiFi (sync, GPS etc is all on). You can see the red bar showing my crappy data connection.

EDIT: With good reception, it gets even better. As always, if some users get good battery life and some users get poor battery life... the fault is always with the user. Check your settings and running apps liron_69.

If GPU values was more high, I'd still use #6 but device's graphix was slowly (ADW was unsmooth) had to get back #2

Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] pinoypower:
V6 is generally smoother than v5, but had experienced a couple of sleep of death (device not waking up from sleep) in less than 4hours. There is also an intermittent problem with wifi connection wherein you'd suddenly lose connection even if your wifi icon says you are connected. Switched back to v5 which is close to perfection for me, running Checkrom HD V5.

Edit: I have given V6 another go, this time I wiped Cache Partition & Dalvik. For almost 2 days now, I have not encountered a single SOD. My only concern is overheating. Cpu temperature easily shoots up from 25C to 35C within few minutes of web browsing. I once have a force reboot when temp reached 38C. No other niggle aside from that, plus the fact that GoLauncher runs soo smoothly now, guess I'd be sticking to this Kernel for a very long time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Elusivo:
I thought the summit chip maxed out at 1.2A, at least is what it says on the datasheet I think, but if it can go up to 1.45A and using a 2A charger, if the kernel could be modified to have more amp available for charging, could it be possible to use mhl and still have the battery charging instead of draining like it does now?

Very annoying when I want to use mhl with low battery, it will only work for a few minutes until the battery is completely depleted... impossible to watch a movie in that situation, more current would probly fix it. I did try with a 2A charger with different kernels now but the battery still gets drained while using mhl albeit not as fast as with the Samsung charger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] [David]:
Sorry but, what 'bout when not using mhl? If it would be possible, don't you think this may really damage device putting more power than oem needed? Only for using mhl in low battery?

Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] doclucas:
I am 100% sure it is only related to the kernel sources because:

a) It happens on both of my Notes, the white (made in Vietnam) and the black (made in China).

b) It happens after complete wipe/factory reset and applying the older Samsung stock Rom that had the older kernel. Once the firmware is being upgraded via Kies to the last firmware that uses the new kernel sources - the problem disappears.

Seems like quite many people do have this SOD issue as reported on other threads, and only when using kernels based on the old sources, but everyone reports that when changing to kernels based on the latest sources - the problem is gone (using Abyss for example).

c) In any case, updating kernel sources is always a good idea anyway...

galaxy note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jellevanb:
That's right, let the kernel settle, after a day you notice it's getting better. Sometimes an extra reboot will help also.

My procedure:

1. flash jBroid cleaning script.

2. flash franco kernel

3. boot and let is rest for 5 or 10 minutes.

4. reboot again.

5. enjoy.

edit: last time i looked i ran two and a half day on one charge.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dobygot:
I've been getting a decent run on v6 with 1day 3 hours, down to 48% left, pretty minimal use though. My battery chart showed a pretty clean, minimal number of wakelocks. Definitely a huge improvement over cfroot.

Until...

..the past few hours battery usage graph is showing a pretty long stretch where the device stayed awake. I checked BBS and saw GPS wakelock of over 4 hours. I never experienced a GPS wakelock like this on cfroot before.

Some details:

-Rom is Checkrom V5

-GPS has been off, Location services all off, no location aware widgets. I never ran Maps or any GPS app since last reboot, I never turned GPS on the entire duration since last reboot.

-Last thing I did with the phone before the wakelock "attack" was to make a two minute call.

-I've attached pictures, however useless it may be.

This may be app related, but I can't tell since I didn't install anything new since franco kernel and this is the first time I'm getting GPS wakelocks like this. Is this just me?

Here's my graph, you can see the wakelock and battery drain near the end on the right.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Elusivo:
From what I understand from the crappy power charger circuit they did on the note, the summit chip only powers the battery and maybe some other low level power management circuit, nothing else (I may be wrong).

But, if it is like that, then only the battery would get extra charging current, and maybe even the kernel can instruct the summit chip to only provide extra current to the battery alone and nothing else, hopefully enough to use mhl properly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
I took the sources from Samsung's Open Source site, dunno if there are newer ones.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dasich82:
I also had this GPS Wakelog. Thats the first Time since I have the Note. Never got this with #2-5 or any other Kernel.

And my GPS is always off...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't have any GPS wakelock. I'm pretty sure the kernel doesn't control the GPS, I don't know why is it even showing as a kernel wakelock. Until I get true logs showing its caused by the kernel I'm 100% sure it isn't caused by me at all!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] k1ng617:
I've seen this mentioned before, and I was wondering what type of difference allowing a kernel to "settle" in really has. I've seen people say to reboot twice (why isn't once enough?) or give it a couple of full charge/discharge cycles etc. I'm mostly concerned with its performance and not battery life BTW.

This is an honest question, because I've noticed my phone acts differently sometimes (smooth or unsmooth) even if I haven't changed anything. I suspect that could be why there are so many starkly different reviews of different mods on XDA. Some claim excellent performance, while others claim it's the worse ever.

Also, what exactly does that script do? Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dobygot:
How severe was yours? Under what circumstances? I also had v5 going well with minimal wakelocks for almost a full discharge before updating to v6.

But, I'm not blaming the kernel, not without proper troubleshooting procedure... I'm only posting things I noticed after installing the new kernel, it may very well be an app that is causing this.

Oh and since I took that screeny, the GPS wakelock counter (duration) has continued another 20 minutes or so.

So at 4h35min I decided to reboot the phone. I'm going to monitor the rest of the battery charge and see if GPS pops up again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dasich82:
I would love to give u a Log, but after a Reboot it never happend again...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jellevanb:
I don't know exactly why this is, I'm not a kernel developer. But I can imagine it has sometehing to do with the system ajusting to the new kernel, and the waiting 5-10 min is to give the system time to load the services. Same as a PC also takes some time before it's finished loading, and after a update asks to reboot. When an update starts up for the first time, maybe it makes some changes in the system in order for it to run smooth, but these change will only be activated from the boot process.

About the battery, I understood the % displayed is not the actual value, but an estimated one, based on experience. So this is why you see that the batt usage is flattened after som time, esspesially after an kernel update.

Once again, I'm not an expert, but I'm just reasoning from exprerience with flashing roms and kernels.

After doing a search it seems that GPS wakelock is some kind of mystery issue. Abyss kernel devs experience this and don't know how to fix it. Blaming hardware or GB

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] schaggo:
Now one has a look at this :p

I got so fed up this morning seeing my battery saying good by I flashed while on the go. Was worth "the risk".

While on 4 I had the first sleep of death ever after ending a call. The device wouldnt turn on. Of course I rebooted and interestingly enough the filesystem must have gotten corrupted. Because I was greeted by the setup assistant and GO Launcher failed to load etc. Very weird. I restored a backup but left the kernel as it is, and it was working again ever since. Although with the drain visible in the pic.

I also tend to agree that #2 was very satisfying, I'll watch #6 some more, its only a couple hours old on my device.
