Okay people. Sometimes you guys drive me nuts :silly:. For one things, these are alphas for a reason. You are all testers and should

expect

, not be surprised by, bugs popping up in some builds here and there.

Second, I understand there is a problem with SODs and reboots for a small group of people. If you look at the change log for alpha 33, which you all

should

do considering the unspoken agreement you make when downloading alpha software as a tester, you should notice something -

a33 has an

experimental

patch to lower the core voltage to the minimum value of 950mV when in low power state 1. Obviously, some devices can't handle this *forced* low voltage, which leads to the exact, typical symptoms off too little voltage, SODs and Reboots.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Metallice:
Now, on to my status with this -

As a quick fix, I will revert this patch for the next build. This should hopefully solve all issues with a33 including, but not limited to, SODs, reboots, and increased battery drain in LP1 (too little voltage, but not little enough to cause freezes/reboots, has been shown to actually cause increased battery drain as compensation).

Unfortunately I haven't been able to whip up a quick fix for a couple reasons.

For one, I have other responsibilities. I had a Physics midterm early today and had to spend time reviewing and studying. Also, my father purchased a new HDTV (very nice one, super jealous) and I had to help him go pick it up and transport it, unpack it, remove the old, gigantic, heavy as f---, rear projection DLP HDTV, set up/secure/mount the new one, situate all the cables with the FIOS box/DVD/AV receiver/Surround sound, reprogram the universal remote, set up the new smart tv capabilities with the internet and their internet video services, update the TV software, set up the 3d and 3d glasses, and teach them all how to use the new stuff.

Second, my computer broke. The graphics card started acting up, kept getting messages about it failing and successfully restarting until it no longer would successfully restart. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and the whole kitchen sink, but the card was dead and there was no way around it. Aren't laptops with their all-fused components wonderful :rolleyes:? To be honest four years is a decent run for a cheap 4-yo HP. Anyway, I need a computer for school so I got a new one as an early birthday present.

So I have a new computer now. First of all it's a macbook so I'm going to have to learn how to use OSX for one thing and get everything set up, and I'm going to have to re-make my kernel build environment from scratch which will take some time.

So hang tight please!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] ximmox:
Will this perhaps be switchable? So the many users without SODs (me included) can still benefit from the patch?

Hi, metallice. I'm one of those that are making noise about SODs and reboots, I'm really sorry if that bother you, I'm also an user which like a lot to develop things and sometimes, like to share with everyone my personal work, so I understand what WORK IN PROGRESS means. But I have posted various last_ksmg files for different reboots to help you to understand where the problem lies, it was never my intention to be a disgraceful user which doesn't show respect for your work, in fact, I do prefer your work over others (Franco, motley, brisma, etc.) And I have my own personal reasons for it.

I hope that you take this in good way!

Pd: maybe you may consider dual boot Mac os and Linux on your new flawless computer :cool:

Re: [KERNEL][3G+WIFI][4.2.1] M-Kernel - a33

I could not have worded it any better. But I am guilty of not always looking at the change log because lately it's been changes to frequency steps, voltages, and the like. While I can follow those things in a hazy way, frankly it's not been of much interest to me since I'm not a battery-life or benchmark chaser and the stability and performance have met my needs for a long time.

Live your life and don't feel any guilt about doing it. You have put out one of the best kernels and have updated it continuously for a long time. And you have been a hell of a nice guy (and patient with us) while doing it.

But I am concerned that you bought a Mac. . . :D

It's been established that a33 doesn't work for some people, but I found something else out as well.

zeppelinrox's Kick Ass Kernelizer script doesn't work on a33, but works on a32 and below.

Just something I've noticed.

Edit: I use Swype as well and had no such issues with a33, though I did have SOD's... but these only occurred when I went to bed and left my tablet on the charger all night. It never happened outside of that scenario.

I didn't know what the acronym stood for, but having been suffering from a33 causing my Nexus 7 to not turn back on, and noticing several others with the same issue, I assumed I was experience the same issue, despite knowing what their acronym meant.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Metallice:
Because it changes kernel defaults that are that way for a reason. Many of which I've set to some variable or value for some good reason. More often than not, it changes the kernel parameters to decidedly worse options. The majority of what it does, however, is placebo.

FWIW, since I flashed a33 the other day I have network trouble when tablet is talking to the home wifi routers, errors that I haven't seen before, stuff like cant get dhcp IP address, cant download from Play store at times and so on. No other gadgets have this trouble, and the tablet worked fine before (a30-a32). Tried to flash older kernels which worked well, but they failed too. Reflashing to stock everything seems to have fixed the problem. I didn't see any changes to the networking the log, so my trouble may have nothing to do with the kernel.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Re: [KERNEL][3G+WIFI][4.2.1] M-Kernel - a33

As I mentioned a few days ago, I also have network trouble, very similar to what you describe. The trouble started after I installed a32. Just like you, I also can't find anything wrong in the logs - that's the reason why I haven't uploaded any.

It might be kernel related after all. It's just annoying that nothing is logged.

Btw, I'm having lots of random reboots also. Every time I try to use my tablet there is always a status message from the trickster app stating that it successfully applied settings on boot..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] adstraylight:
Well it's a long shot but there was one poster who said they got the update to work after flashing a different ROM, and then someone who suggested simply clearing the cache/dalvik might help :confused: , or try to find a generous soul to lend you their PC?

Until Metallice puts a new version on general release, I'd suggest flashing back to a32..I'm guessing your tablet is taking a long time to boot & at least with a32 you won't have to reboot so often, if at all.

I felt like posting this in other kernel threads but I pulled back. I have the most respect for Metalist. The man doesn't require any false prestige from any body for anything he has done. He has never EVER asked any person for money for his efforts. In fact the man was embarrassed when he had to admit that his tablet was fried and he had to purchase a new one. When people started to donate money to help him get a new one he felt embarrassed. He has never tried to profit from apps that are proprietary to his kernel. In fact he just suggests an app that does the job the best (trickster app).

How can you not have the utmost respect for a person like this?

I'm confused about last_kmsg but since last time this happened there was nothing useful in last_kmsg I rebooted first thing but there was only a java io exception after the the phone booted.

Sorry I can't be more helpful than that but I will try and reproduce it.
