I was using v5.0 and had a SOD today just like one described by gokhanmoral earlier on Samsung ICS rom so had to update to 5.0i which has VPLL mode disabled by default . I tried to increase scaling max frequency again and opened Antutu benchmark app and it rebooted my phone.

I just can't overclock my phone on the latest version of kernel like previous versions. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and not idea what. Let me look for a guide on XDA on over clocking and try changing few other settings.

Edit:

Pls see post #14287 in dev thread regarding SOD problem which I was talking about
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AN7 OverClocker:
I think that the stock kernel thresholds are bit off. Try lowering the down threshold of the 5th to 4th step, to 75% or lower.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikachu01:
Busybox issue. Try installing the kernel using Odin.

Disable VPLL and go back to stock frequencies and see if it still happens. (Don't use 54MHz or any frequencies higher than 267 MHz)

hello,

i updated to 5.0i and the auto voltage for the LED not working.

the LED get the voltage from the voltage level.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razorless:
Did 5.0i change the sharpness of the screen? I have "sharpness tweaks" unchecked and still my screen looks oversharpened since 5.0i

edit: ahh, without sharpness tweaks the screen is oversharpened, checked it, now it's fine
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
As far as I know it didn't. The difference is that in 4.1.5 this feature was enabled by default (as GM informormed us yesterday) but in 5.0i it's disabled by default - so theorethically if you tick this option you will have similar sharpness condition sa before. However (it's individual issue) if without this option the screen is sharpened enough leave as it is.

Thanks for the reply.

I am aware that blnww disables led blinking. The setting in go sms for enabling led notifications is named "blink led" as in the screenshot and is exactly the same as the setting in handcent.

I have switched to handcent as bln seems to be working on it so I guess there must be some bug in gosms' notification.

I have been facing another more serious problem on siyah 5.0i though.

I had set my cpu governor to ondemand and experienced a slow motion crt off animation followed by a sod.I experienced it twice,once with vpll enabled and once with it disabled so I guess that it couldn't be causing this.I have reset my settings and am now testing with pegasusq as my cpu governor.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead0:
more of a request than a bug, anyone have any idea how i can activate the soundboost/headphone gain via init.d instead of using Stweaks in v5? thx in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
Set it once and remove stweaks.

Or you can run the action script yourself but it would require you to dig in the config xml.

Stweaks is just 180kb and always passive until you run it.

Why would you want to use anything else?

Spending additional 180KB should not be bothering that much, and if it does I have a bad news for you, it is always in the kernel :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
Fellow member It_ler is conducting for months kernel tests that are pretty objective in my opinion. V5.0i didn't perform very well in battery test: link

That is also my opinion - I'm running 5.0(i) since it's uploaded and I feel it just cannot compete with v4.1.5 battery wise. There is nothing extraordinary when looking at the BBS - no unusual wakelocks or anything else. But screen-on time is reduced when I compare it with 4.1.5 significantly. I'm using default CPU and GPU settings, and so did It_ler.

Edit - sorry, not all settings are default - I have vpll enabled (but it's never running 333 MHz except in banchmarks) and sharpness tweaks, and BLNWW. But It_ler is at default values always.

Example - while writing this post via Chrome browser (few minutes, with brightness almost at minimum (@10%) I've lost 5 or 6%...

i was hoping to tweak the pegasusq/ondemand governors a bit more along with additional tweaks such as decreasing the charging current but they seem to get overridden with stweaks/extweaks installed. ps GM, does pegasusq still use dynamic hotplug?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertobsc:
That's hard to know. If I'm not wrong kernel do Wakelocks to verify if you touched in your screen.

I am not sure if that can be seen in bbs, Gokhan certainly will know better. But if we can see that we at least we would know how much Wakelocks we would be dealing with.

yeah the battery drain is quite bad, i loose 1% almost every minute with just mobile data on & facebook. otherwise it's a very nice kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
I think this has already been mentioned, but it doesn't hurt to repeat - vpll mode demands higher voltages for the same frequencies when comparing with standard (mpll or whatever it is called) mode. I have conducted stress test via Nenamark2 and here are the results:

mpll, 400 MHz@1100 mV = stable, succesfully conducted a test.

vpll, 400 MHz@1100 mV = device freezing after few seconds running the test, requiring hard reboot.

vpll, 400 MHz@1150 mV = device freezing after few seconds running the test, requiring hard reboot.

vpll, 400 MHz@1200 mV = stable, successfully conducted a test.

One more thing, seems like the device is REALLY slowly charging, but I'm browsing at the same time via Chrome, so I'm not sure, maybe it's normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshishere:
I have same symptoms as well. I didn't use my phone while charging but it takes a really long time to charge

+1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
That's not exactly how it works.

When the device goes into deep sleep, it shuts down the power to most of physical components on the phone and keeps only the bare minimum ones running, and even those in a low power state that's just enough for them to react to wakeup situations.

This would include the clock (for alarms), modem (for reacting to communication towers), wifi if it's turned on, physical power buttons (and perhaps some other ones, I don't know).

The touch screen isn't normally one of them. The power is fully shutdown and the IRQ is disabled (no need to respond to interrupts from the hardware during that sime, since the hardware is deep asleep as well).

If you activate s2w, when deep sleep is entered the power to the touchscreen isn't turned off as before, so it still drains some power due to having the sensors active to react to any touches, and therefore it's tracking your fingers even with the screen off. The IRQ routine is called normally, and it detects if you perform the magic gesture for waking up. Touch gestures are also detected and trigger the appropriate script, since it's also handled within the IRQ.

A kernel wake look is indeed involved in s2w detection but not permanently. When the movement for wakeup is detected, the action to power up the screen is scheduled for work (it's not invoked directly in the context of the IRQ) and the KWL is acquired only to make sure that scheduled request has enough time to actually be queued and executed, preventing deep sleep to be entered immediately which would render the s2w action inconsequent. As soon as the power is brought back up, the KWL is released. Therefore, it will briefly lock the device in non-deep sleep for a brief moment every time you perform the gesture. Negligible.

In summary: the power drain won't be visible in BBS (only the brief usages of the KWL, in case you indeed used the wake gesture).

Instead, you'll need to BatteryDrain or similar to track how much %/h did your device drain e.g. during the night.

I'll leave it active this night and check my averages in the morning. Last night it was between 0.5 and 0.6%, let's see how big a difference does it cause.

EDIT: Outcome here
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
Well, I have reverted to 4.1.5 and all is fine - percentage is going up much quicker. On 5.0i it was practically stuck @53% (about 10 minutes) on lowest possible brightness with light browsing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tricks25:
working great as usual on my rootbox v1.8.. only issue really for me is the slow charging.. :)

did a quick search but didnt find a definitive answer, whats mdnie sharpness tweaks exactly?

Edit: i noticed my phone is charging normally when the screen is off or not in use.. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
Yes pegasusq uses dynamic hotplug.

Why don't you just make a script for all those tweaks & run it via an called Script Manager on boot. I think the ExTweaks settings run after init.d has run thereby overriding your settings but doing it through Script Manager or even Tasker takes care of this issue & is what I do.

Sharpness tweaks does exactly like the name states, makes display sharper. It was always enabled in previous versions of Siyah & only now has GM made it user controllable.

Did any of you that complaint of slow charging actually verify this fact by checking the current drawn by the phone from the mains. There are apps that do that for you so you can just compare the latest kernel with the previous version & you'll know the reason why charging is slow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viva.fidel:
for some reason, reset to default settings does not actually reset in stweaks so could someone post the stock gpu up down thresholds as i may have messed them up
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
dori and siyah use the same stweaks data folder (/data/.siyah)

and I read similar complaints in dorimanx's thread.

personally I had no battery drain problem while I was using an s2 last weekend.

maybe people forget to reset the settings when they flash dori or siyah.

and I really do not care which kernel you use :) I don't make kernels for everybody's use and put some non-functioning & non-sense noob-magnet features. I make them to make a difference and try to keep them crap-free...

This is after putting Dori 5.92 back on, standard battery all default settings!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
learn to accept criticism? :)

I think you did not get me...

I cannot spend hours or days hunting for something that I don't have and make dummy modifications...

"drain" is just a word for me and not a valid critic.

and I am not in a race or competition.

if you like the kernel you will use it. if you don't you won't. it's that simple.

I don't care if you use speedmod, dori, dream or any other kernel which are still on board.

so...

you say learn to accept criticism...

and I say you learn to make one...

you are still not aware that I am here sharing my free time and if you are willing to give my research center a fair amount for my hourly rate I can spend my time exploring and making a very detailed report about your specific problem and give you some recommendations.

if not, you can just say "I have drain" and stop there... because that "I will have to use another kernel" part is really disturbing as it sounds like a nonsense threat and will never be welcomed.

as I have already told you in my previous post, I still do not care which kernel you use.. either this one or another.

and it will not change how many times you make critics :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
good. stay with that one...

or move to one of his v7.x versions...

there is no best kernel. but there can be a single kernel/version that is the best for you...

and I won't cry if you use Dori but not siyahkernel :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdoblo:
Jeeezuz! I was only saying the battery weren't great and many others said the same, look in the kernel and battery test thread too, what should we do, just not mention it?

How would anything ever get any better?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
now it's my turn to criticize ;)

you are having 0% drain in 8 hours.. in the worst case it is 1% in 8 hours...

which means 800 hours of standby time and it is way above the device specs.

either Samsung is really dumb and understating the standby time or you are missing something serious there :p

if you reset fuel gauge chip every time you boot it is not hard to get those stats.

and I really wish those who judge the battery consumption overnight to use another kernel...

I had 4-5% overnight drain (without bln or s2w) and it is perfectly fine for me considering the syncs and wakelocks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
During this night, after full charge and reboot and with s2w active, I had readings of about 1.1 and 1.2%/h under the same conditions.

These numbers should of course be taken with a grain of salt, but on a first impression we might say that the order of magnitude of *additional* drain when s2w is active is probably 0.5%/h. I'd go ahead and round that up to 1%/h :)

I checked it via Current widget and everything seems normal both on 4.1.5 and 5.0i - between 600 and 650 mA. However, I don't know how to troubleshoot the fact that charging on 5.0i seems stuck at certain point when using the device... I know from experience that charging should be very slow when playing CPU/GPU intensive games, or using GPS, hotspot etc., because the phone drains more than it receives from the charger. But I think that light browsing - just XDA-ing, shouldn't have that kind of impact on charging. I would like to help here with more info, but I don't know how - BBS logs belong to BBS thread, and besides I don't have any masive wakelocks - nothing unusual.

What worries me more is that I cannot get more than about 2 hours and 30 minutes screen-on (with lowered brightness most of the time), while on 4.1.5 I can easily get 3.5-4 hours in same conditions. I would want to help with this, but don't know how - as I said, I cannot pinpoint anything particular...

All in all, I'm back on 5.0i and this time I'm gonna use the phone without BLNWW (I mean without BLN at all). I hope for better results this time. :)

Hi Gokhan. First of all...thank you for another amazing delivery.

Just a question, does this kernel includes:

Option to dual mount sdcard+emmc via USB cable as in Dorimax?

If no, do you plan do include?

If already, where it is configured?

Thank you again :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
I removed that interface. the frequency steps are fixed now.

dual mount sdcard + emmc?

last time I checked it both of them were being mounted correctly in both Samsung ROMs and CM10.

if you are talking about recovery, dorimanx is using my custom recovery and I highly doubt that the behavior is different...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakatus:
Nah..its the hability to be automounted as soon as the usb cable is connected:

This from changelog:

*Added new option to dual mount sdcard+emmc via USB cable, and be able to use them in process of connection :) (one click connect)

its really usefull. as soon as i connect the phone to the usb port, both disks (usb + sd are mapped as drives)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuniel:
isn't that what you get when you mount through MTP?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakatus:
Not exactly the same is the same as you obtain when you connect via usb and activate the usb option.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
Although not exactly the same as pressing the physical button 4 times, you can easily assign that to a touch gesture, such as the example on the thread that toggles the invert mode when you swipe one finger at the top and another at the bottom from left to right, both of them.

The code would be this one:

if [ `cat /sys/class/lcd/panel/user_gamma_adjust` != "50" ]; then
echo "50" > /sys/class/lcd/panel/user_gamma_adjust
else echo "0" > /sys/class/lcd/panel/user_gamma_adjust
fi
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
there are mtp mode and mass storage mode which can be changed in STweaks.

if you need to click something to mount the drives it is not kernel related.

I don't think it is the kernel part of dorimanx but either a script or something else...

and I don't want to be active at that part because if I do I will desire to make a difference and it will take too much of my time.. :P

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlesg:
I had posted this script in your gestures thread, but now I have also added another command for even better results.

Personally the outdoor mode script that I'm using now is this

if [ `cat /sys/class/lcd/panel/user_gamma_adjust` != "50" ]; then
echo "50" > /sys/class/lcd/panel/user_gamma_adjust
echo 1 > sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/outdoor
else echo "0" > /sys/class/lcd/panel/user_gamma_adjust
echo 0 > sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/outdoor
fi

With this script except from the maximum gamma shift and increased brightness, you will also have tweaked and more intense colors for outdoor.

I also edited my post in your gesture thread with this extra command.
