I had the same issue few months ago. Try changing your Router configuration. And the authentication key. I noticed to have more issues when using WPA2 with any ICS ROM... But if you use WPA it will work just fine... Also try rebooting the Router...

wifi issues

the kernel is amazing i just cant for some reason get the wifi to work with my arc s:confused:. ive tried reflashing it to see if that would help but now such luck. im on jjs hybrid
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
What version of JJ's are you on now? So I Can test....

Did you do a clean install. Try installing GB first, then Flashing my kernel and from there JJ's Rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eryen:
I've WiFi problem too.

Tottaly clean official ICS rom flashed.

WiFi can not be turn-on.

Flashing original kernel with Flashtool, and after that i can use wifi.

Besides, best kernel ever. very fast...

This is the error messages in logcat

EDIT:

Clicked all kind of permission on RootExplorer.

Now i can enable wifi.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Can you please upload q logcat? ... Thanks for the update. I'll see what the issue is, probably a permissions management in my init file. Anyway it would a nice Idea to do a Fix Permisions command in Recovery to fix it before booting the first time, I'll add it to OP

Thanks!

I have a problem with your kernel, for me it is very slow on arconium, fresh install. Using conservative as recommended. Of to 1600 but still slow.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Overdose1986:
Hola, estuve usando tu kernel con ICS oficial en un ARC S, y todo me pareció genial hasta que intenté tomar fotos... la cámara se cierra constantemente, creo que es por eso de "Increased RAM by reclaimed Unused Cam Memory (FXP Sources)." y para mi la cámara es esencial...

No sabes como puedo evitar los problemas de cámara?

Por cierto muchas gracias por el kernel es el mejor que he probado
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nono83:
Hi, great work.

Anyway, just a little detail, the bootscreen is not so good. Why do not make something simple like :

Sony

Powered By Arc-Night Kernel​

This could be cool. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dejson:
Agree
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Hmmm well conservative is for battery save with nice performance but if you need it to be q bit more responsive can please try using the Ondemand governor which was tweaked to be a bit more aggressive in terms of performance?

Hi!

Please try to keep in English as per forum rules. I thought I've fixed the "Unkown Error" in camera in v2 but I'm also experiencing random FC's with stock camera app . I'll try to increase a little more the memory allocation for Camera in V3 to have fixed finally.

I'll do it! Sorry for the bootscreen I'm not a pro in terms of image editing. I'll keep it simple until I find q good bootscreen for the Kernel.

Can you guys please elaborate q little more on Feedback I just want to know if things are working as expected or if something is not...

Thanks for testing :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
What about a startup image something like this?? :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
That my friend looks totally awesome! Can you make one based in black colors as well?

I like it! We should start a poll or some sort of contest to find the best boot screen...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] datagubben:
Congratulations for your baby!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] stirkac:
I was using beta ICS, now official nordic ICS. i did not mess with any settings on lt15i, because it tends to compromise either battery life or performance. basically i only flashed it over with modules and all.

What i would kindly ask you to change in next versions is the logo.rle to something more monochrome like above but more darkish ;)

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
Hello, glad to see some new kernel development here :o

Now I´m trying your kernel with ROM KA14 and all looks good for the moment. Thanks fot the great job.

Also update your post title it´s says V1 and now you updated to V2 :D

EDIT: soumya_digi really nice startup image :D :D :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] peacekeeper38:
I havent notice this but yes its true no deep sleep at all the same happen to me with RC-1
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Maybe the users that face the no deep sleep problem are Arc S users?

Perhaps the Arc S doesn't like this cpu frequency table... :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I don't know what your settings are guys. But I'll investigate, for me Deep Sleep is working fine...

Let me investigate tomorrow and see if I can find something..

This is my phone usage with HEAVY messaging and browsing
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
That could be... Anyway I've started to check and I've may found something.. There where some left overs from previous builds...

Some of them related to the battery changes I pushed... I'll clean my sources tomorrow once at home and push CLEAN version by Night or Sunday morning :D

Sorry about that and stay tuned guys. thanks for the support for this Humble project of mine, I never thought it could get that big :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] peacekeeper38:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ironlady:
I am Arc User and no deep sleep either
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tarzan-:
I don't know if I'm lucky or what but my phone performs exceptionally well in deep sleep, 7 hrs lost 2%.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] windmoon:
I flash back to V8 and apply the Org ICS wifi

Clean cache and dalvik

my deep sleep work fine

For the RC-1 if the deep sleep work fine it should be better battery than V8

Hope the RC-1 fix the deep sleep soon

And thank for the great rom by jimbo

Deep sleep works but also consumes a lot cca 1% per hour.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Devil_Spawn:
if i install this kernel will it reset any part of the android OS or will it go unnoticed?

also, i imagine this removes the ability to install via cwm?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
The Kernel will not reset any parts of the OS.

It has it´s own CWM, you can enter it when lights flash by pressing the home button.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
1%/hour a lot? With sync on? With that current battery capacity? With data on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Devil_Spawn:
i flashed, it, and the first time i tried to use the camera it said memory error, but since then has worked fine
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BlackMN:
Me too, deep sleep dont work, Arc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Still deep sleep 26 minutes. I've got a feeling that Tapatalk is responsible although I've disabled checking for updates (before I opened Tapatalk- deep sleep, after- 122 MHz). I'll try wiping data and setting up from scratch- it was restored by TB from 2.3.4 fw backup

That is really strange because I've been restoring tapatalk since 2.3.4 and had no such issues an d the only widget that is running is Beautiful Widgets for clock and weather...

I went to sleep yesterday at around 11PM here and this is what my phone did during that time... Well, all Data disabled ( didn't want to be awake by notifications) and I lost like 3% during that time...

I compiled q new clean version, my sources got mixed I think since I was testing to port Linux Kernel 3..3.5 :) ...Btw I think my baby also suffers from that deep sleep issue, she couldn't sleep much yesterday hahaha...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Anicane:
Deep sleep is working fine with my Arc, but the battery drain is back.. I am using MIUI v4.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] simonsy:
Hi, thanks for the hard works!! I flashed this kernel starting from version 8, and now i'm using the latest version (RC). Everithing wolrks well and battery consumption is really grat!! Very good work!!! To all people that encounter heavy battery drain, or deep sleep problems, probably it's related to the ROM you are using (MIUI for example). I'm using stock rom with this kernel, standard CPU frequency, and everithing works well!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Devil_Spawn:
i cant get wifi working, it seems to be stuck off using this kernel

well, stuck saying "Turning on WiFi"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Did you flashes WiFi modules as well?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Devil_Spawn:
i didnt think i would need to from what you wrote but i'll give it a try

edit: yep that worked just fine
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
got the same problem. Total time 16h44m

921 Mhz 1h21m

122 Mhz 8h12m

deep sleep 7h07m

i almost did not use my phone today. On what rom are you?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] graey:
Using the stock .562 ICS ROM (not that it matters for my issue).

When going into CWM I can practically do nothing, as it can't mount SD. This is also true for the modded stock+CWM ICS kernel... Really bums me out because I can't flash anything or NAND backup. Any clues?

I'm on an ARC S by the way, unlocked, rooted and everything.

EDIT: tried all possible kernels for ICS, no dice. I'm using a 16gb card, perhaps that's the culprit?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Arconium 2.2 (some apps removed).

I've done fresh Tapatalk install and now deep sleep 'works'. Although in backup there could be leftovers from my previous phones (since Eclair :P)- widgets when I press back take me to Favourites (previously- homescreen directly)

really weird, but i cant get wifi to turn on, it gets stuck. the thing is i have flashed the modules, but still not working. im using miui v4 and bb 70. any idea?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
Have you flashed the new version of the modules (ArcKnight_RC1-WiFi-Modules.zip) ?, maybe download them again and try
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
well i tried the same, reinstalled tapatalk but still no luck
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
This is strange but after fresh installation of Tapatalk sleep mode is back, browsing forums has no impact (122 MHz 'lock')

Tapatalked from Xperia Arc S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
I think this can't be app related, since the problem is not there on stock kernel.

What I noticed is that Deep Sleep works until I turn WiFi on. After that, it doesn't go to DS anymore, unless I reboot. So maybe the problem is in the new WiFi modules?

iR¡D@k!* via Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Erm@c:
Deep sleep is work ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
For some users it doesn't, so we are trying to figure out why.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Ok Boys And Girls!!!

I've cleaned up my Sources and compiled a new version... Let's see if this solves the problem with the Deep Sleep...

I strongly recommend you to start from Scratch... Meaning to flash Stock ICS ROM, then wipping data flash the ROM of your liking (Though I really recommend STOCK just to test) and then flash kernel and WiFi Modules..

For me it is working with no issues at all...

ArcKnight_RC_1.5

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaatisu84:
should i flash kernel, then flash modules - THEN wipe caches and reboot. or flash kernel then wipe - THEN flash modules? or does it make any difference?

and regarding starting from scratch, seems troublesome, but does any one have a simple stock zip that I can flash using the stock kernel - or do i have to flash the ftf?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
It is not that hard...

Use Flashtool to flash STOCK ICS .562 FW.. Then boot the phone and let it settle for about 5 minutes.

Flash the Kernel using Fastboot, then boot into CWM and flash modules, to get ROOT flash the file i posted a few posts back...

check if the phone is going into Deep Sleep and if it is doing it, flash the ROM of your liking... if after that the phone doesn't go to deep sleep then it should be a ROM problem and NOT Kernel Related :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] peacekeeper38:
Hi Jimbo just a question is the link for the RC_1.5 working cause i am trying but its not possible

For me your RC 1 works fine, I guess I don't have to flash new kernel.

If it's fine for you don't do it but there where small left overs on RC1 that may or not cause problems... :) RC_1.5 is working really good here with no Deep Sleep issues of any kind...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abrarabbu:
hi jimbo.

have been using ur kernal for a while. its nice.

but, i never use anything other than OC to 1.4(always) on my arc.

please tell me how to make a kernal for arc same as that of arc s (with cpu states same as arc s).

nothing more. no governers or io schedulers.

can this be done?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] graey:
Just a quick update: it was, used a 8GB card and it worked. Is there a fix for this, or should I ask somewhere else?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ironlady:
no i tried flashing back to doomkernel and it was ok with ondemand
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
?

If you don't use something, just leave it there and use what you want. What's the problem? Also, are you saying you want to overclock your Arc to more than 1.4? Anything above that would be dangerous.

Hi jimbo, I just flashed your Kernel, thank you for your effort, will be trying out how it goes over the next days. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaatisu84:
I did this and everything was great on stock. wifi worked, deepsleep worked, awesome. so i then went to flash miui v4 (my rom of choice) - but wifi would still not turn on. i even tried doomed's miui as well that would not turn on the wifi. seems strange, I would assume that it is a rom problem, but as nobody else is having the same issue, maybe i am still doing something wrong?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Zocker Tko:
Have you flashed the wifi modules, for me it works fine on miui with wifi modules on kernel rc 1.5
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shadowillusion:
I can enter deep sleep as usual (confirmed by cpu spy)... But even in deep sleep, I noticed ArcKnight kernel consumed 1% battery every hour...

On stock kernel, my battery usually dropped by 1% every 4 hours (4 times longer standby time)...

already try 2g only also, still the same... any idea why?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] elroysk:
I have the same problem...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Remember guys that this is a CUSTOM kernel hence a lot of things have been added, like OC etc... If you use ArcKnight with Stock speed you'll get most likely similar battery consumption...

Also both DoomKernel and ArcKnight are based in ICS beta sources since Sony hasn't release official sources yet...

Thanks for testing my work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shadowillusion:
I already tried by using stock speed, same cases...

I undervolted it, also same case...

Anyway, I think cpu speed is irrelevant here, because for the whole 8 hours, my cpu is in a deep sleep (according to CpuSpy), but it consumes 8% battery...

On stock kernel, it only consumes like 2%...

Anyway, I agree that maybe its an ics beta kernel bugs. Hope sony releases final kernel as soon as possible...

Is NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS (CIFS and NFS) disabled or enabled? Might affect the battery lifes...

And yes, kudos for your nice work, sir!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] windmoon:
I flashed RC 1.5 and the deep sleep work fine

Thank you jimbo
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
I must say, it is working really good here (version RC1), here is a screenshot from CPU Spy, I left Arc on during the night.

I have a couple (newbie questions) if you have time:

1) When RC2 comes out, we just flash it with Fastboot Mode and we are good to go, or we need to Wipe all Data from ROM again and set up our ROM and apply WiFi Modules one more time?

2) I get 1350 on Quadrant and 3411 on AnTuTu, with OC @ 1.4GHz. I was expecting a lot more, although I see other people's scores and they are around there.. Is it a ROM thing? Or isn't our Arc powerful enough?

For example, with my Motorola Milestone, Cyanogen 7 and frequency @ 1.2GHz I got 1500 on Quadrant.

All this is just to play around and have fun, I prefer a lag-free, stable smooth, battery efficient ROM rather than a great Score in any benchmark. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tintin814:
A stupid question, do I need to unlock the bootloader if I'm using stock ICS rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mo786wp:
Nice work Jimbo but im getting insane battery drain thou.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
Yes, you need to unlock Bootloader to flash a Kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Carl_Arc_S:
is this the most stable kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
You should try RC1.5 :) it was posted a while ago, with RC1 some users where having issues with Deep Sleep ... BUT RC_1.5 is really stable and no issue with Deep Sleep...

It seems unlock bootloader is not a must, but someone told me I must unlock if I flash the Kernel. So who is correct???:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Yes, it is ok... I took Doom's zip file and replaced the modules with my owns...

Sorry for that but it es late when I pushed the file.

It will be fixed in RC2 :)

You need to unlock bootloader, if not you won't be able to flash the custom Kernel through fastboot :)

what is the android os issue??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I think it I'd solved. I haven't tested yet... But it is an issue of ICS not only Kernel Related...

Have you tried other kernels?

It was adv issue with the Battery consumption caused by " Android OS". In battery stats the OS was draining battery and the run time is amidst the same as the " up time"

Anyway, I think the issue got solved when I modified the deep sleep mode :)
