Does anyone have tips for best mixture of battery and performance with v1.3.1 ?

I'm unsure about a few things:

I/O Scheduler - CFS or Deadline?

Minimum CPU value - should this be 100mhz or 200mhz?

GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS - on or off?

CFS Tweaks: Which option? (presumably doesn't matter if you don't use CFS)

SMOOTH SCALING LEVEL: Should I set this below the current maximum cpu value?

SCHED_MC = 0, 1 or 2?

have some issue with the charging using wall mount adapter. i put charge using wall mount but my phone didnt show any charging icon. if i plug in to my laptop then it can charge with no issue.

my setting for the ac charge is the default value 1000. however i am using a wall charger with output 5.35V 2.0A.

is there something wrong?

*update*

i tested with the iphone charger and seem like default value 1000 can charge. not with 1200 value. this mean with this kernel, we cant use other wall mount charger which has higher amp value? especially wall mount charger like ipad which is come with 2.0A..

When I use this kernel with the default settings the handset never seems to fall into 'deep sleep' (as per Better Battery Stats). Am I doing something wrong or is this correct behaviour?
[Galaxy S III General] :
hmm...been neglecting this thread...but I'll ask here as this is more correct than the dev thread...

flashed to 1.3.3b, and it has resolved the issues I was experiencing with earlier builds of 1.3.x. the sound tweaks are pretty cool.

only thing i've noticed is notifications and ring tones are super loud through my headphones...damn near made my ears bleed when i was biking earlier and listening through my IEMs earlier...

aside from manually changing notification/ring tone volume, or putting it on vibrate, are there any other tweaks that would prevent this? or is that the only method? I'm guessing for now, if using the audio tweaks, it will only work by manual adjustment, but if anyone knows otherwise please share. heh, ty.

Hello.

In advance - very sorry if using wrong thread (because I see there are two threads involved)...

There is a bug reported:

- listening to FM radio, everything goes fine,

- receiving as I understand any event with audio notification while listening to Radio, such as incoming SMS or call

- reacting on received event (switching to "Messaging" app to read incoming SMS, for instance, or accepting phone call)

- back to FM Radio, and... NO SOUND.. it's UI shows same as before, but it is completely silent (UI shows nothing wrong)

- as I understood, only reboot helps

Dual Core mode and battery saving issues

Hi can anyone provide me an answer to these questions? Would greatly appreciate any help.

1. The max cpu function is described as 'setting the number of cpus to be used in hotplugging'. If I select dual core mode, does it mean only 2 cores will be active and the rest will be idle and not consume power?

2. I'm using cm9 with siyah v1.3.4. I've undervolted my cpu at -150mV using setcpu app. However, battery drain is still considerably huge. Does cm9 with siyah actually support undervolting with setcpu app?

3. Have anyone tweaked their pegasusq governor hotplug setting? If so, any recommendations on the best setting for battery life?
[Galaxy S III General] saintsinner25:

This is the single MOST-illuminating thing, that wasn't the case for S2...i read on the siyahkernel thread that you can use the siyah recovery also as default recovery, how can you flash that ?

In my opinion the recovery is very important to have it bootable when the rom DOESNT boot, so starting it from an app in the system seems really... stupid? :(

[Galaxy S III General] jnr21:

[Galaxy S III General] Mr.Gamer:
I got GM's reason, still i've to say that even for an expert android user this part (about recovery and kernel) is kind of not explained.

Personally i like the separate recovery aswell, i'm using cwm 6.x.

I wanted to use siyahkernel recovery because on the SGS2 had a "special" function to let you mount the device as an hard drive even in recovery mode, that was really useful when your ROM failed to boot, so you could trasfer files from *ANY* pc and flash it on the fly

Anyway, i've checked and siyah S3 recovery has not this option yet, so it would be pointless to have, for now.

Kernel seems smooth tho! thanks for replying me

i have got random freezes and reboots with this kernel, only when i'm not doing anything (beside scrolling home pages)....

it works under stress with games but freezes randomly while doin nothing.....as anyone noticed this?
[Galaxy S III General] xRenzo:
I know this has been mentioned many times before, even in the developers thread, but it seems like I still have the problem.

My phone does not charge at all. In the dev thread, gokhanmoral mentioned to reboot the phone and then to plug it into the ac adapter once the phone loads to homescreen. This works sometimes, but sometimes it doesn't work at all. What used to work for me was wiping battery stats first then reboot to homescreen and connect to ac adapter, but that seems to work only half the time lately.

One problem I encountered today was that it was charging perfectly fine, and then it got stuck at 46% and started to lose battery while charging.

I have searched and tried most of the suggestion to fix this problem with the problem coming back once in a while, if there is anyone who have fixed this problem permanently and can provide some insight, thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S III General] kickassdave:
This actually sounds more like an actual hardware fault rather than an unwanted result of some bad software related actions...

Unless you only encounter this issue using Siyah kernel?
[Galaxy S III General] darkbahamut:
I can't comment on your drain, however your stability issues are easier to explain. Simply your chip isn't stable at it's lower clock speeds when under-volted. Stress testing isn't the only thing to consider when you are dealing with chips that dynamically change clock speeds and voltages. As the chip already scales back it's voltage under idle (900mv @ 200MHz), applying a 100mv undervolt to that frequency and voltage may not retain stability, even if applying -100mv to 1400MHz/1275mv does.

Your only options are to use a less aggressive under-volt for all your steps if you want to use STweaks, or to use a different application or script where you can apply different voltages manually to each frequency step. It's a lot of extra work though that probably isn't worth it for an extra -25/-50mv unless you know what your doing.

I'm using CM10 nightly builds.

I read somewhere that when you flash a new rom, the kernel gets deleted.

So, every time I update my CM10, will I need to reflash the kernel?

Also, I don't boot into the Siyah kernel recovery, as shown in various review videos.

Instead, I boot into the normal CWM Recovery, which I installed after installing CM10.

Is this normal? I'm not interested in multi-booting, so is it ok to continue using stock CWM, or should I try and fix this issue?

Thanks!

Yes man you'l need to flash the kernal again.and it isn't an issue that siyah's recovery is seperate. the CWM recovery youre talking about is your default recovery which is permanent.it will remain as it is.the dualboot recovery is embedded in the kernal and will get removed if you plan to change your kernal.its a part of the kernal and isn't on your phone's main recovery image/partition whatever it is called.the only way you can access siyah's recovery now is through the stweaks app.previous versions had a seperate recovery but the new version (1.7 rc1) has it embedded in the kernal.your'e safe you got nothing to worry about :)

So probably isn't stable in the low range of frequency with that UC...understood ;)

Another problem is a cannot use setcpu because it's unstable A LOT freezing constantly without even doing a serious UC...much more stable with Stweaks.

However the battery drain is huge, i will try some other kernel to determine if it's a kernel issue...
[Galaxy S III General] xRenzo:
it only started happening when around siyah came out with dual booting. its never really been an issue before, like i said, wiping battery stats and rebooting the phone, then charging usually helped. but the other day I really needed to charge the phone quickly since I forgot to charge it the night before. I've been told that using any battery monitoring apps that monitor how much power is charging the phone is never really accurate, but after maybe 20 minutes of charging my phone, not only did the percentage not go up, but the battery monitoring app I had showed that there was no power going into the phone at all. Sometimes, even when its been charging for about 20 minutes, I lose a few percent of battery. Then maybe about an hour later it would charge properly.

I thought I had it all figured out with the battery problem, especially when a few other people were seeing the same problem with their phones, now I dont know what to think

I have this issue too but it's clearly cable driven: I left my original charger cable in some place. So I tried to use my old LG cable : no charge (or even discharging) with wall charger, works sometimes on an USB computer. If I take one of the other cables (not Samsung ones) I have at home it works perfectly.

So there must be some specific 'micro flaws' in some cables that interferes with the Kernel ? If I've got some time I'll try with another kernel and the same 'defective' cable.
[Galaxy S III General] xRenzo:
hmm, I been using the stock cable that came with the phone since the release of rc1, the problem started to occur. even when i ordered another cable (not made by samsung), this problem still comes up. im really hoping that its a beta/rc issue with certain devices, cause this would definately suck when v1.7 comes out and gokhanmoral decides to leave the s3.

on the side note, i been observing the charging about every 20 minutes or so when I'm not busy, it seems that it slowly charge for maybe the first 10 minutes or so and it slowly picks up. so I guess I'm going to have to make sure I charge ahead of time if I really need the phone

I'm still on ics siyah, so I'm not sure if this issue exists with siyah jb but it's easy enough to replicate.

Basically when you use the headphone jack preamp, listen to music (I use Neutron player), and receive a phone call, after the phone call you're preamp values will go back to default - thus you will have a much lower music volume after that call.

There are two ways to fix this : force close your media app or unplug the headphone. Both seem to reset the headphone preamp to Siyah values.

Not a terribly debilitating bug, I wanted to report it nonetheless.

I can imagine the booting would be long as it would need to boot into some sort of shell mode to enable the SD card, then boot from the ROM, but I wouldn't imagine it's impossible...

You can't test a little by yourself? For see which script suits better your needs?

It depends of your use... And what do you mean by "performance" (for games, benchs, UI, etc...) for example.

Test, open the zip files, compare the values, modifie some values to found your best setting... You can make a mix between battery and performance....

For a balance between battery/performance... Try with stock settings... After your test if you're not happy with this then try battery profile/governor or performance profile/governor.
