I'm getting very poor battery life. Losing 11% in about an hour with like 20 minute screen on time using 4g. It seems like smartassv2 is always at max cpu when not in deep sleep. Any idea why it's not using lower frequencies when I'm not doing anything cpu intensive? I'm running avast in the background maybe that's it?

What do you guys think of v1.7? I'd like to make the switch in order to undervolt more but I don't want to if it's buggy. My phone is at the best it's ever been minus battery life so I don't want to screw it up. If I do this can I just flash over 1.8? Thanks guys
[HTC Rezound] dplane:
Hey Snuzz..just wanted to let ya know 1.8 is running smooth. Using it on an even more stripped down version of Vexhex w/ Intellidemand @ 384/1512, SIO scheduler. After running numerous kernels it appears to me like underclocking does absolutely nothing to preserve additional battery life. My theory supports what I believe you alluded to yourself several times; the faster a task gets done and the higher the cpu can ramp up to do so, the quicker it can go back to idle speeds. I have no scientific study to back this up but the times I did do underclocks it seemed my battery life got WORSE. Just my 0.02

Thx man!:good:
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
What are you using to control CPU governor?

Sent from my Rezound using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[HTC Rezound] aznjosh:
System tuner pro. Do you recommend something else?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Android Tuner or SetCPU.

[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I would change to a different governor and get rid of avast, its a resource hog and you don't need it. I had a similar experience when I first got heavy into Android and was convinced I needed lookout mobile security. Getting rid of it made such a difference, I had ordered an extended battery because battery life was so bad, then when I got rid of my security app which kept locations running all the time as well, my battery life was so good I didn't touch the extended battery when it came in.
[HTC Rezound] dplane:
Sorry to interpose something here but Ill also throw in my support for no-frills CPU control. It's nice and clean, been my go to app for quite a while now. But can't say Ive had bad experiences with the ones Snuzzo mentioned.
[HTC Rezound] aznjosh:
I installed android tuner and uninstalled avast and the cpu is still at max without any ramping down with no apps running. Avast uses almost no resources when I look at betterbatterystats. It shows display as using the most battery but I'm at like 1hr display on time with only 27% battery left. I don't think it's my battery because I was getting around 45-50% battery use in 9 hours (about 1 hr display on) on conrom v6 with cubed kernel undervolted by 75. I should mention I'm on ineff deus 1.2
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
Did u have system tuner installed before android tuner?
[HTC Rezound] aznjosh:
yeah uninstalled system tuner then installed android tuner. maybe i should do a cache wipe?

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 AM ----------

Wiped cache and dalvik and cpu still sticks at max with only 5-10% load. I'm just going to switch to intellidemand it seems smartass doesn't like my phone. Hopefully my battery life will get better

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

One thing I noticed. When I look at the governors on Android Tuner, smartassv2 is the only one that doesn't have any viewable settings like down_differential, ignore_nice_load, etc. Is this normal?
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
You may want to try kernel tuner. I know when I run SAv2, it scales just fine. I prefer Intellidemand though.

Also, you may want to wipe Calvin/cache and refresh the kernel.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
@azn

I'll take a better look at that little later.

[HTC Rezound] aznjosh:
Thanks snuzzo, I'm on v1.8 sense 3.6 global s-off. Maybe the smartassv2 governor for that particular installer got messed up? I came from a clean install. Wiped all caches just now and reinstalled a freshly downloaded kernel. Hope all this information helps. Thanks for all your help and hard work!
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Again, pretty sure I know what's going on. Said it before that I need to look at the governors that are baked in and tweak them some.

[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
OK system tuner no worky with 1.8. Uninstall every CPU control app make sure you wipe the data uninstall. Reboot your phone 2 * but on the first 3 boo make sure you go into recovery and wipe cache and delvic. Then reboot like 2 times each taking the battery out. Now u have to find a CPU app the works. Idk what does I'm on drag ROM and just set the CPU through the ROM its self.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Android tuner is working well for me although my kernel is slightly modified. It's the new version updated 12/3 that's working well. System tuner worked well too with my configuration, setCPU has been working real well for snuzzo.

In a nutshell there's not a one size fits all solution, because there are so many versions of the kernel and so many different roms. Add user configuration and installed apps and it multiplies the variables exponentially.

But I would start with Android Tuner or set CPU, but make sure you go to settings/ apps and force stop your current app and clear its data like quadrider said, then reboot before installing your new app.

If you have something that is working well for you I would definitely stick with it.
[HTC Rezound] king.james:
I'm using setcpu and I have been having great success with 1.8. I have tried all of the others and found it to fit my phone the best. As The Man says, there are many different roms, versions, firmware, and the list goes on... It's best to try apps out and see what works best for you.
[HTC Rezound] dragonstalker:
if i can keep the pain away long enuff, ill write out the command lines to set freqs so you dont need an app. unless you guys think this is giving users way to much access to hose stuff
[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
I can vouch for set CPU. Its most recent ui update is pretty sweet and I have no issues
[HTC Rezound] hawknest:
I am having good luck with android tuner on EclipticRez
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I have been too, its been running good for me, and the developer is really great to deal with, he's incorporating some changes just for us :D
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Really? What sorts of changes "just for us?" I would be interested; been using Antutu almost since the beginning. Have occasionally tried out Incredicontrol (which I used for a long time on my Incredible with Tiny's kernels) and SetCPU (which I also used extensively), but keep returning to Antutu. What's cooked into Android Tuner? (Last time I tried it, actually, its predecessor, I was completely overwhelmed).
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Since bringing in mpdecision you now have tons of goodies and extras on Android Tuner. Modifications to thermal properties, you can change how quickly to turn on the second core, quite a few others now too.

Been using thing on a CM10 test build and works fine but now youtube videos wont play in the app but work in vevo is this a known thing? The stock kernel the was in the CM10 test build played youtube videos just fine.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
On what build might I ask?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
It was a build that was shared with me via pm for testing and the individual didn't want me to share it with anyone but since you dev this kernel I could send you the pm to look if you want. It seems to be just Stock CM10 compiled from Chad's git. Granted I know there is bound to be issues since there are no official builds so no big deal was just curious.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Ok just wanted to double check. I'm assuming it worked before? Try clearing app data.

Also just checking to see if it was a jb build you were trying it on.

Are you still maxing both cores for gaming? Could have something to do with the heat..
[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
Looks like that worked Snuzzo thanks man!
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
then go back to other sense versions that work?
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Snuzzo, I just wanna say great work on this. Using 1.7 and Luis' MIUI, I got a solid 2.5 hours screen on time. For the longest time I was using a stock CM9 build and the stock kernel, and this just blew it out of the water. Keep up the great work(after your holiday break of course).
[HTC Rezound] pmania:
I totally forgot about miui. Haha may give it another spin
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I forgot about it for quite a long time. Pro tip, on the MIUI launcher disable wallpaper scrolling. Insanely smooth then.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Also you can take a few more shots before looking at your phone makes you dizzy.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
This made me actually laugh out loud. You sir win all teh_interwebz.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Didn't think you guys would mind a little humor every now and then.
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
Thank You!

MAN, THIS KERNEL IS NICE!!! Usually, I try custom kernels but quickly end up back on a stock kernel because of reboots, less than desirable battery life, etc. It took me a while to remember that a dev can really only do so much with these phones... you have to have something pretty good to start with. I LOVE my Rezound but battery life and the generation of heat was horrible from launch although better than my Thunderbolt. and GNex. Still the phone nuked batteries and Sense 4 UI was always a little laggy even on the best of days. Snuzzo, your kernels and DSB's kernels along with newt and Joelz ROMs kept me from selling the phone even before the DNA launched! GREAT WORK, especially considering what you had to work with and doing so on a version of Sense never intended for the phone and with still yet unreleased firmware! I am VERY happy with my Rezound with your 1.8 version kernel and newts One XxX ROM RLS 5.1.1. I think this setup is FINAL for me because EVERYTHING I NEED works and to to the best that I think my Rezound will do so. Again THANK YOU!! Thank you all for your dedication to these projects and willingness to out up with us end users (Charles, HOW DO YOU DO IT??!! lol)! I'm glad we have you and the guys working on the these devices!!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Checked it out. Still way too complicated for my level. I prefer to keep it simple and rely on my devs to smooth things out. So far that's worked out pretty well.

Sent into the innertubes from my Arnova 10 G2.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
You are welcome k2trill.

I mainly use it when I need the 2nd core to kick on quicker with forcing it on.
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
what rom is this? trying out a bunch of sense roms now because i don't think aosp runs well on my phone for whatever reason.
[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
Does 1.8 still require setting the minimum freq to 384?

ahh very cool tho! cant wait for your kernel and neo's cm10 rom :D
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
did you flash the 3.6 ota or should it be 3.6 global? i flashed the rom and funky 1.8 (ota) and can't see anything in the camera, but it does take pictures. i remmeber running into this issue before and i think it was a kernel issue. just want to check with you since you are running the same setup
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
wipe boot cache and delvik, flash DSB's global kernel, then wipe cache and delvik cache only and flash 1.8 global for funky. and bam u should be fine.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Don't need to do that. Just run through the installer again choosing global instead.

Yeah that's what I did. All good now.

ohh dident work for me when did that... ahh the good ol days back inn 1.4 1.5.... lmao
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
There has been nothing but improvement since 1.4/1.5... MASSIVE improvement might I add and the hours put in to bring that improvement shows! Enough to make 1.7 a default in all of my roms which has worked well for everyone else thus far.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
i know there has and im not doubting that at all. i was joking about since the last time i had that happen to me..
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I am however waiting on a ramdisk update for 1.7 ICS :P
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
*so will v1.8 work with Ineffabilis Deus v1.2 ?

*Also to install just flash in recovery?

Yes to both. No wipe needed.

[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
is anyone having a high cpu usage amount and having the 2nd core turn on quite often? im still getting to min frequency, but cpu ussage is like 25-40% when its idle.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Well when it scales up based on load has to do with your governor settings and it's hard to say what's "normal". With your second core kicking on often, you mean like if you set the phone down on a table and start at it for two or three minutes without touching it, it doesn't idle down and the 2nd core pretty much stay offline except for the occasional flicker on and back off?
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
everything is running fine, but if i do set it down and dont touch it at all, 2nd core will shut off, and it will idle down to 192mhz and bump up to 400 or whatever every so often, but cpu load is always between 25-40% and thats making the 2nd core turn on very often say like when i open mms app. like little things that should not require a 2nd core. when i was on pre 1.7, cpu would idle down to about 2-10% ussage @ 192mhz same gov which is ondemand. also 2nd core ignores the set max frequency...

i know its not an app thats doing it, cause it was doing it as soon as i flashed a clean rom. no anything on it.... i guess its not a problem, but rather just that i relized that cpu ussage is high making 2nd core turn on more frequenly and killing some battery. dont get me wrong, its smooth as hell, but im just saying...

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

alright nvm. i wiped cache and delvik again, and it seemed to fix it all... weird... owell. so its just that the 2nd ignores the set frequency. thats sll im having probs with rite now.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
You can adjust the governor settings to not step it up at that load. Don't ask me how I usually look up how each gov setting works when i need to make an adjustment. Dont have it memorized yet.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
I'm not getting that big into it. Just way to much for me....
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
If you catch the second core on and set the frequency it does recognize it... Just gotta be quick lol.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Or try kernel tuner but be careful you can incidentally force the 2nd core on if youre not careful.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
Ahhok will try thanks.

Sense version 1.9 before AOSP 1.8? I feel forgotten.

Running JB AOKP.

(Not complaining about anything or asking for anything, just pointing it out).

Don't worry about the AOSP end of things. These are mainly fixes and updates for Sense. AOSP versions won't get an update til the go ahead for JB builds.

To the OP, I just flashed the kernel. I got to the lockscreen, phone froze, and rebooted. Now, stuck on the boot screen. Back to the stock kernel for now. Hope others, even some running my rom, have better experiences. Itching to get it working me; missing Wheatley's awesome sleep mode. Oh well...keep up the great job.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
The AOSP version isn't directly buildable right now. The smartass2 driver isn't there so it bombs when the makefile tries to call it. I have smartass completely removed from the build that's in CS.
