[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Steve_max:
I've been getting some real bad slowdowns over the past few days, since I installed 1.6RC2 (was on 1.6b15 IIRC). "Bad" as in "phone is unusable for about a minute". Stock ROM, XXDLIB, No undervolt, no under/overclock. Reset STweaks and same thing. I've been trying to get some useful information about it before posting.

Managed to get the slowdown with MaliStats SetCPU on (without any changes on SetCPU, just to see the current CPU state); Malistats told me the GPU was running at 266MHz with ~70% usage. This suggests that it's not GPU related. The CPU, however, was locked at 1400MHz, suggesting it's CPU related.

I've been running with "show CPU usage" ever since, got a few of those slowdowns, and found some interesting things. When the slowdowns happen, I have load average over 15.00/x/x (or, 15 different processes requesting CPU time over the past minute. My *nix experience shows me that any load average above ~2x the number of CPUs will lead to usability problems). But more importantly, every time this happens, I have kswapd0 and mmcqd up high in the process list.

This puzzles me. kswapd should appear high when the kernel is thrashing pages to swap; but I don't use either zram or swap (confirmed by /proc/meminfo). And mmcqd is related to the SD driver; I've been using the same SD for months now, without any problems. Is it a coincidence? Did you change anything in the virtual memory and/or SD parts of the kernel that could explain this? I'm willing to get any kind of information that could help solve this.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I am using a codebase which is very close to i9300 jb update5 sources now and there may be problems with zram.

I disabled swap and zram in rc3.

other than rebasing to update5 sources I don't remember any other swap/zram/sd related changes.

I agree that the load average was quite high but I cannot think of a reason to have such a load average.

Is gpu oc and uv working properly on 1.6rc3?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bala_gamer:
yes its working on aosp,didint tried it on sammy :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rowlers:
All working nicely here. Omega v27.

Rc3 appears smoother than rc2. Maybe placebo but I like it!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jnr21:
Yep, seems to work but gpu touch boost doesn't work.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] BelJanss:
Yes it is working properly.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I installed 1.6rc3 and never experience a lag. Even with earlier versions. I love the kernel because it gives me the ability to change different settings on my device....so please guys...if you are not happy with it then don't install it..and shut up...that's all. For gokhan, I still believe in you. YOU ARE THE MAN! :good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nicregi:
Try reduce from 100 to 75
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
besaucse it's temporary disabled :) (check changelog on website)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jnr21:
Yep, i just readed gokhans post about gpu touch boost.

Rc3 feels really smooth with latest temasek cm10 build.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] m33ts4k0z:
Hello gokhanmoral and thanks for the update.

I'm still having issues with this kernel and battery charging using WanamLite 3.7. Although it shows it charges it doesn't charge at all or very slowly. The charger and the phone both are cold after several hours of being plugged into an AC socket.

Any ideas why is that happening?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jnr21:
I have gpu step1 voltage 850mv but malistatus shows 900mv, so can we uv under 900mv?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dellarius:
I'm running Cm10 with 1.6rc3 kernel and I cant hear anything when I'm calling or when somebody is calling me. It's like front speaker is off. Any ideas how to fix this? I really want this kernel.. its super smooth and fast with CM10, but without sound during calls it's unusable :( Please, help :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
play a notofication (enable lockscreen sound is easiest) after reboot, then make calls.

when rebooting don't put your phone on silent or vibrating.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Steve_max:
Just had another (shorter) event under 1.6RC3. mmcqd/0 and kswapd/0 at the top positions, with system_server and surfaceflinger far below. System unusable for ~15 seconds. Nothing of interest on a logcat either. Maybe it's my 2 months old Sandisk SD? That would be a weird coincidence.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] trein91:
Is GM perhaps going to increase the ram to 857 like in perseus?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dellarius:
eh.. how do I enable lockscreen sound? :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] leamoor:
Settings>sound>Screen lock sound:silly:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
settings - > sounds, near the bottom (after that reboot without putting phone to silent or vibrating mode).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dellarius:
Thanks, it really helped! Is this permanent solution or it can happen again?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] daath:
Just had a short burst-lag on RC3 too... Weird.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ozzyita:
Just a quick question guy's, is rc3 using latest sources?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Notor1ouS-:
rc3 = supersnappy!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
it will happen every time a sound isn't played before call (after reboot).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rickgillyon:
Yes, happens to me too. Will provide a dmesg when I can work out how!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
terminal emulator from market.

open.

type su, allow superuser.

type dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

exit.

find dmesg on your internal memory and upload here.

:)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] NeoBlade:
Too early to tell with RC3 but its been running very well indeed thus far. Shall have to wait 12+ hours to really tell. Still no MTP/PTP on OSX Mountain Lion but I can live with that as Gok is a busy man as there are more important work to be done. Great job though on getting Mali as a module though which should make life a bit easier for you to maintain in the long run!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
last time I applied AndreiLux's settings cm10 users reported lots of problems.

I will test them later and apply if there is no problem on cm10 side.

I can reproduce that problem on cm10 stock kernel. you need to play at least a click sound not to lose call audio.

hmm, seems like I will have to revert mtp part again. I will try to reproduce that on my osx vm and see if I can patch the current one to get it working on osx.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shanume:
hi Gokhan,

I can just say Siyah kernel 1.6rc3 is very fast and smooth on wanamlite 3.7 rom :D I have been using it over 6 hours now

no issue here, everything is fast and smooth, thanks for make this great kernel for us all :) keep this good work mate.

+1 for that APT fix on mac osx mountain lion, this since has been broken since people update to mountain lion :( why why u apple do that to us :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
is it broken on mountain lion only?

if so I will have to update my osx.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] danarama:
No freezes or anything? I'm on RC1 with 3.7 today after issues with RC2...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] RolluS:
Tested well on LI8 leak, no problems. Back to siyah for eargasm indeed, because scoobydoo isn't tweakable enough
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shanume:
yes problem come with mountain lion update! this is something apple have done in there osx 10.8 :(

when I using snow leopard no problem to use APT even with nexus 7 tablet with JB rom... and S3 with JB with stock kernel,

but all is broken in osx 10.8.2 :(

right now I have to use airdroid to copy files over to internal sdcard and use s3 file transfer to move files to external sdcard, thanks god

at Jelly bean in s3 har speed up in move/copy files between sdcard :)

btw. take yours good time to fix it, if this can be happen.. u have already done a great jobs for us all, with this great kernel and tweak!

but sorry for my bad english ^^

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

nope I flash rc2 yesterday all fine fast and smooth as always, and today update to rc3 still no issue and problem! :D

so iam a happy one with siyah and wanamlite :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Steve_max:
I see from your signature you have a 32GB MicroSD. Would that by any chance be a Sandisc Class 6/"Ultra"? That is the exact MicroSD I have, and my processes running during those slowdowns seem to point at the card.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ozzyita:
Playing gran theft auto with rc3 with maximum settings and I get micro lags. I'm on v5.5 Checkrom, but with stock kernel everything in fluid!

Is it normal for the proximity sensor near the ear piece to be lit up all the time now? Even when the phone is asleep?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
using viber?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shanume:
have you viber install? if yes try to close yours viber complete.. this happen for me here :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] iris_aim:
I am facing similar problems eversince moved to Wanam..formatted internal storage and sd card as well,did full wipe while upgrading to wanam 3.7..nothing is helpful:(

Guess its something with JB..but I could b wrong.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] trein91:
Thanks for the reply GM. Are you also perhaps going to reinstate the 1700 and 1800 mhz clocks like before?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shanume:
have u try to wipe battery stats from recovery mode this will fix lots of this kind problem :) I have always using wanamlite rom with siyah kernel, never have a issue.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] iris_aim:
Did try that with rc2.nice advice though,I will try that again,let's see
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jnr21:
Do you really need those cpu clock steps on jelly bean?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] trein91:
Yep, for google search (faster loadup), dialer, messaging and contacts app. Don't forget the sometimes laggy gallery too. It helps to compensate for the lack of ram (you should check out the speed difference between the 2gb and 1gb one)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shanume:
I already wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats every time I flash a new kernel or rom :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I will not add 1704 and 1800MHz steps but you can modify 1600MHz step with kmemhelper to 1704 or any other step by yourself.

I don't believe the speed difference between 1600 and 1704 would be noticeable but the stability is.

there is also another reason that I don't want to add those steps: I want repack and compiled version use the same CPU steps.

we already have 1600 and 1500MHz steps in the original kernel and I enable them in the repacks.

and about 1GB vs 2GB difference: if you mean korean version of s3 which has 2GB + 4412 then I have no idea, but if you mean the US version with 2GB having an 1.5GHz S4 it is not the memory that makes the difference, not at least in messaging/contacts and gallery.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] trein91:
Thanks for the quick reply. Idk much about the difference in stability, but I did try 1704 and 1800, they were both stable on perseus on alpha23. Prior to alpha23, I had to overvolt it by 25, ie less battery life, but Idc since I always carry a spare battery when I'm heading out. ($9 per anker 2200mah batteries on ebay)

And yes, I meant the korean SHV version which has the same specs as the new i9305 version.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] NeoBlade:
It was working under Lion previously but I've upgraded to Mountain Lion and it stopped. If you need any help testing then feel free to let me know if you need logs etc. Been using WiFi File Transfer/AirDroid atm but its much faster and easier via USB. I believe I tested it on a stock leaked JB ROM once and it wasn't working too...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] iAvivR:
The Brightness so low on DLIB. on the leaked versions was higher brightness :confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rickgillyon:
No easy way to reproduce. My volume dropped this evening with no calls or anything in between. Just a few emails. Dmesg attached.

Edit: Headphone volume should be set to 61, Preset "Pleasant for ears."
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dellarius:
what about battery life with rc3 kernel? I was listening music about 10-15 minutes and battery went down for 2%, which is quite a lot I think.. what about you guys?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
how do you judge baterry life of something that was released today and based on 10-15 mins of something?

you'll see after few days and charging cylcles :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Daelyn:
Sarcasm on:

OMG! That's just terrible!!! Gökhan, u gotta fix it.. now now now!. I demand it. It's my right as a user.

Sarcasm off.

The kernel does not cause a higher battery drain just because you change a version.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
that is just what I needed. thank you.

consider it fixed (at least in this condition) in the next version.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] firomero:
omega v27 and rc3

i just flashed rc3 and seems smoother than rc2 but to my surprise gave me a quadrant score of 4200.....the lowest ever i have gotten 5800 before
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
the simplest way to fix that problem is to uninstall quadrant... then you will be a lot happier... :)

Is there anyone who is successfully using nfc tags on a cm10 rom? Or does anyone knows how to fix that? I can enable nfc in the settings but nothing is happening when I try to read / write a tag or syncing with an other phone.. :/
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] firomero:
hhehehe yeah that's very simple....
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jnr21:
I think it's same as in leaks. You can adjust auto brightness base level, just move slider when auto brightness is ticked.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] goofylad:
is this now fully working for jb roms? been waiting to try this with dragon rom...... as i have missed the sound boost.

also is this compatiable with AC!D Audio Technology (i know currently there is a bootloop issue but once thats resolved) or is it a case of one or the other?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] funeralcrows:
Does anybody else get random UI lags, sometimes so bad it locks up for almost 10 seconds or longer?

I didn't modify any settings in STweaks other than some from the Audio tab. I've had enabled Force GPU Rendering before. Now I'm trying to reproduce these UI locks without it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] danarama:
On rc2 I had a lot. Hadnt noticed on rc1 so went back. Not tried rc3 yet
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] daath:
No, I have a 32 GB Class 10 Samsung card...

I've had a few of these lags since I wrote last. It seems my problems with RC3 are roughly the same as with RC2 - Maybe I'll try RC1 or beta 15 again.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] EViollet:
RC 3 is noticeably better than RC 2 but there still are lags. Especially after having played Real Racing 2.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cba1986:
Sad to hear that leave the 1704 step out of the question. In 1.5.3 was using 1704 with -100 UV with no side issues. But i understand the reason why you leave it out stability and compatibility are more important.

Can you point me to the right direction to modify the 1600 step with kmemhelper?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AndroidGX:
I can confirm those UI lags sometimes while scrolling between homescreens for my part ... although they are rare.

Btw, it's me or the sound booster looks more powerful in Jelly Bean than ICS ? I'am using 62 to headphone volume amp in STweaks but I feel like if it was set to 63 from ICS. Maybe source related ?

Anyway no complaining since we suffered too much about low volume level in stock ICS some months ago :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
+1

Lags here aswell...the excact same config like rc1,nothing changed.

But after flashing rc2/rc3 i started having lags.

Not launcher or scrolling lags in that case my phone runs great!

lags that completely stop the app for a couple of seconds.

Anyway,gokhan will surely fix this and we shouldn't spam his thread as he must have noticed that already. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] th3g0d:
Any 1 else noticed that the minimum GPU voltage won't go under 900 even tho u set in in stweaks? Tried resetting stweaks, reflash kernel, using init.d scripts... nothing worked.. even reflashed my ROM :D only fix I found was to go back rc2 and use scripts to tweak GPU. Only me? Using malistatus and with rc2 it uses the voltages according init.d script.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] NZDroidDev:
I have only been on RC3 for a few hours, using LIB based rom, but so far I have noticed absolutely no issues at all.

But perhaps those who are hazing freezes or stalls could provide GM with some logs to help him figure out what is happening. I would say due to the explanation of the symptoms though that something is tying the CPU up with unusually high utilization. And the root cause may indeed be a certain app having conflicts and causing the high CPU use. I had a similar issue on my old S2 (happened on any kernel with logging turned off) which was caused by an app encountering an issue, then causing a loop due to logging not being there, causing the freezes. So having a look through the logs can be of a lot more use than just a post on here ;)

I will certainly be posting up logs if I experience any of these mini freezes :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] BelJanss:
Lost only 1% overnight (8 hours). -100mv on cpu..overclocked to 1500.. -50 on gpu.. Pegausq governor and deadline scheduler.. i put animations to my phone to see if there were lags but there were none. ??

Is anyone getting freeze on rc2? I have this issue using wanam v3.7 ...I'm back on b15 and it's smooth but not when rc2
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] naveediftikhar:
Getting lag..alot of it while scrolling home screens..no changes..running stock siyah!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Darkchaser:
Can you re-up b15? The lag is getting to be really unbearable, and I wanna avoid using stock kernel again. :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:

I think rc1 also works lag-free. :)

EDIT:Found it.

Attaching here in case anyone wants it. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Edward Zhuang:
I am on wanam 3.7 and experienced a lot of random reboots on rc3
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
By the way even with beta 15 version chrome still lags and dolphin closes if i have many tabs open(didn't do that in ics)...

In that case the kernel is not the thing to blame..? :S
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] hawks-SOAD:
Here is the dmesg http://db.tt/zT5BGRHH

I had to use drop box have no PC atm
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Darkchaser:
Thanks for the b15. I haven't tried on chrome, but overall the phone is much smoother than with rc3. At least i don't get anymore freezes and lags when scrolling.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nicregi:
Here's my feedback. Lots of lag when my usual UV. Reduced it to - 50 and everything looks good. Pretty good release as didn't see much problem yet. Thought some lags now and then is... A little too often =)

Thanks GM!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mmse88:
What I finally did

Factory reset, format data, system and coach.

Re-install Omega Rom V27 and Siyah kernel.

Then use Titanium backup to just restore back "apps" only.

Others (system) I need to reset all over again.:silly:

Lucky I am using Nova launcher so no need to restore the desktop folders all over again. :victory:

Now the phone running very smoothly without any freeze or no response.

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Edit: Had been using about 5 hours with no responsive or freeze problems at all :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] unholygid:
Btw just curious. What are the circumstances to make the phone lag with the latest kernel? Because it's running really smoothly on my phone.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
Hi,

It seems I can not properly set "staycount_control" (sys/class/misc/mali_control/staycount_control). The last value always remains to "0", like these screenshots of my init.d script and the result:

I can change the other values for the others GPU steps but not the last one... :eek: (It worked well with the old path: sys/class/misc/gpu_control/gpu_staycount and the same init.d script, I mean for the value).

I missed something?

Thanks in advance ;)

In any case, at least for me, no issue with rc3 about battery life (event at 1.5 Ghz CPU clock, GPU overclock up to 700 Mhz and... No undervolting) or general UI (no lags or stutters) with Omega rom v27.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] NetCopAD:
I get freezes almost every time I receive a phone call. Very annoying... can't answer the call. It rings but is totally unresponsive. Also on other random occasions. I can't really find a pattern.Same on rc1,2,3. I'm on Omega v27.

Phone works fine with stock kernel so it looks kernel related, but who knows...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rlorange:
+1 the only issue I have is unresponsive when a call comes in for 2 sec

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] maverick1103:
Running ARHD v11.0.0 was still getting lag with stock kernel so flashed rc2 other day for the audio enhancements which I missed so dearly and still was getting lag. Flashed rc3 late last night and so far so good, chrome is normally the main culprit for me, so time will tell!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
v1.6 is released.

I hope it will fix all your audio, gpu voltage control and lag issues.
