Siayh kernel, time is drifting a lot!

Since I cannot post in the Siayh kernel developer thread, I post here in the hope

someone will let Siayh know.

With the later,3.x.y kernels I have gotten severe GPS lock problems and now I think I know why: The kernel is counting time all over.

If I leave the phone over night time is off with over one minute!

Not sure when this started but it has been this way for a few releases.

This can be seen easily with a NTP client app such as ClockSync and

watch how much time is off. Resetting time to NTP clock makes my

GPS work again.

Could you describe that some more please, concerning different Idle States while playing music/radio when Screen off ?

THX
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim-bo:
As far as I can tell from the reports, most of the people reporting the slow-down problem do NOT actually have the slow-down problem.

People are getting normal force-closes in apps, which, in ICS are a little differnet to GB, and the phone goes unresponsive for several (tens of) seconds, until finally the OS watchdog cuts in and pops up the Report / FC / Wait dialog box.

If you are getting an app FC, then it is NOT the slow-down problem. It is just a force-close. If you have an app (eg camera) that crashes every time with this kernel, and never with a.n.other kernel, then it may well be a kernel bug and appropriate to report here, but apps crash. That's life. It isn't usually a kernel bug, and there isn't usually much that Gokhan can do about it.

There have even been reports of Chrome Beta FCing and being reported as the slow-down bug. It is a BETA, it will crash from time to time (I've been using it since release day, and so far it has only crashed twice on me, which is pretty damn good), and it will make your phone unresponsive while it is crashing, and it still isn't likely to be the kernel slow-down bug.

I suspect that a lot of well-meaning users are seeing their phone stall, not understanding what's going on with it, and not unreasonably assuming that it must be that they're being bitten by this dreaded bug that is being reported so much in the kernel thread.

Unfortunately, most of the reports (valid or otherwise) don't have enough detail in them to even know if they really are a bug, or just some other app crash or suchlike, so the noise of "me too"s is drowing out the signal of the people who may report a problem, or, as GM hoped, the real bug may have already been fixed, and now it is just noise that is making it appear to still be present.

Edit:

just to be clear - please keep reporting problems that you see, but please add sufficient detail so that there is a chance of working out whether is it actually a bug or not.

If possible, send logcat and kmsg dumps. Definitely let us know what you were doing as it happened. Definitely let us know if you got a FC, whether it is 100% repeatable, whether you have tried different kernels, and what Siyah version you are getting this on.

Sorry if this question is answer before.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim-bo:
As far as I remember, it needs about 2.6-2.7GB free - it has to store the /system partition in addition to the /cache and /data partitions, so 2.5GB isn't quite enough.

What exactlz is the point of disabling smooth scaling for all governors? Is it a good idea to leave it disabled for pegasusq and hotplug?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
for pegasusq, it is a good idea to keep it disabled.

I didn't want to implement some additional logic because we can set the smooth scaling level now.

it is disabled but it is disabled by setting the level to L4 which is 1200MHz.

if you set the level to 800MHz, it will be the same as the previous version.

I didn't want to completely disable or completely enable for some governors...

you now have an option to use it with other governors or not to use it at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroMRP:
In terms of battery saving using pegasusq its better to have smooth scaling disabled (L4) or enable (800Mhz) ?

I don't think it will make any difference for pegasusq.

for ondemand, it is better to set it to 800MHz
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
I have reuploaded v3.2.5.2 by changing superuser installation script but the change will not have any effect you if you have already flashed it because the logic which runs that script only once after you flash the kernel depends on the kernel version and the version is the same.

so, if you have already flashed 3.2.5.2 and you have Superuser and SuperSu together, please uninstall one of them (I recommend you to try Superuser first)

OR

redownload 3.2.5.2 and remove root in extweaks and restart.

First take on disabling smooth scaling - seems like a good move. CPU now treats available frequences more equally. This is what CPU Spy says aftee an hour or so:

Pegasusq, everything default. For example, I never saw before 700, 1000, 600, 300 MHz in such a respectable percentages.

I have a minuscule problem: I have a gesture set to "toggle" negative MDNIE.

The script is correct and always worked.

When I boot, it still works for a few seconds.

After that, it doesn't work anymore - unless I use my home button to revert MDNIE, then I'm able to toggle it once more using the gesture to return to normal MDNIE mode.

All other gestures of my script work without any problem.

Anybody can confirm that negative MDNIE doesn't work well with gestures on latest beta? :)

My ROM: CM10nightly

Kernel: beta02
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
Yes, I can confirm this and it's due to JB-related improvements in the kernel.

I'll update the scripts on my gestures thread to handle this gracefully, without breaking kernels that still didn't get this change. But in the meantime you can fix it on your own.

Edit the gestures init.d script.

Replace the following line:

mdnie_status=`cat /sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/negative`

with this one:

mdnie_status=`cat /sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/negative | head -n 1`

Restart and that's it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Confirm that - after boot I manged only to activate and deactivate after that it stopped working at all. I suggest you raise this bug in Siyah DEV thread or/and Tungstwenty's Gestures thread.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
Not a bug on the kernel, but rather an interface (/sys/class/mdnie/mdnie/negative) that was deliberately been changed upstream - Samsung, I think - to return more info than only 0 / 1, and the gestures script will be updated to cope with that.
