I think changing the frequency scaling would be better than underclocking imo – like maybe removing input boost or lowering the hispeed freq but I played with this a long time ago and don't remember my conclusions. I loved quadcore mode on the test version back in 4.2.1 and didn't see any impact on the battery so I'm looking forward to test someone's settings.

For some reason, on RC2 none of my settings are being set on boot, all the tickboxes are checked, and still cheked after a reboot, but all the settings have gone to default. UV, hotplug, thermal throttle, gamma settings, everything. Is this an app or kernel issue? Stock 4.2.2, rooted, franco.Kernel updater v9.2. Haven't checked previous kernels, but it's only been happening recently.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] i860:
Same here, only with RC2
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
The exact same thing happened to me too: tried to unlock it going up-right from the centre of the ring and it went up-left.

Edit: Happens (more than once).

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ki2luminati:
Really everybody talks about battery Drain. But it isnt much worse than stock settings
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Beremus:
In franco paid app, go in Frequency/Voltage > Hotplug settings > high load

Set it to >15 and all core will come online and when iddling, only 1 core will be up.

If you want the four all the way all the time, set it to 0.

In hot plug control set high load to 0
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pawan1993:
Hey guys there's something that I want to clarify. In the default hot plug controls, low load is set at 50 and mid load is 15. Does this mean one core is always on since low load is 50?

Using franco.Kernel since today and I noticed when I want to unlock the phone sometimes it slides down the notification bar. Is there a fix for this? Using CM10.1
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] admiez:
It's quite intriguing that so many people have this issue and I've never seen it once. I run stock. Does it occur with the stock ROM too? And only with slide to unlock?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scream4cheese:
I'm running stock as well and I haven't encounter the drop down yet while unlocking.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Underground_XI:
Lol neither have I...been using this kernel since forever + couple of custom roms never had that "issue". Not sure why people think it is kernel's fault btw

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
I've been using Franco since the day after I got my N4 3 months ago. Have only seen the status bar drops own twice. I hope it get resolved soon though as I am really tired of hearing about it. Although I see how it could be really annoying have it happen often.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] duff91:
The bug of notification bar seems present in RC2, normal usage, but sometimes doesn't unlock but pull down the bar, every time I swype from right to left
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Alex240188:
The reason people think that it is a kernel issue is because that is all it can be.

A bug in the touch driver.

The trace image shown a few pages back shows exactly what happens.

You touch the screen. But instead of registering where your finger is. It resets to pixel 1,1 (top left corner) then detects finger properly.

But as you don't take your finger off the screen while this is happening, it registers as a swipe down from top which opens the notification bar.

If you touch the lock ring before the reset bug it shows as the unlock top left. As it registers tyre touch on the ring. Then bugs to top left.

Though its probably not directly caused by Franco. It's nice that he is looking into it.

While I haven't noticed the unlock top left bug. Only recently I have started noticing the notification bar bug.

(Note it's the same fault that causes both of them)

It can only be kernel related because that is where the touch driver is
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dapsANDpoundz:
Noobish question maybe, because I'm thinking about experimenting with this hot plug stuff. When you can min max freq, does this change take effect immediately or is a reboot required? Same question for hotplug settings. I just tried setting high threshold to 0 and suspend to 384 as someone suggested. Gonna see if I can tweak things a little more.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Underground_XI:
Immediately.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mo'HAWK:
Could the bug be a relation between the combo of the ROM and kernel used or would it only be the kernel?

NeXuS 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yokuyuki:
I feel like it's more dependent on touch panel. Some people may just have defective touch panels that cause it to happen and stock touch settings are set to mask that problem.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pedxing:
For those on custom launchers that support gestures (like Nova) make sure to disable them before blaming the kernel. The default down swipe gesture on Nova is pull down the notification shade. Gestures work on the lock screen as well.

I had them on prior to r127 ... still got the bug in rc0 with it disabled (although extremely rarely) but now don't get it with rc2.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
No, they don't work on the lock screen. At least Nova doesn't, surely.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dapsANDpoundz:
That bug must only relate to those without lock screen security because never have I encountered that bug.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Thibaultvw:
Because I never had the issue before today, and I am using CM10.1 for a month now. But its really not a big deal though. :P
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Don't know about pattern, because I'm using PIN when outside and the ring when at home. Though, I saw someone mentioning that it's also present on pattern unlock. When I'm unlocking with PIN very often the first click isn't registered if I'm doing it very fast and touch very lightly. So I always wait for half to a full second and then firmly tap the first digit. I don't know if that has anything to do with the notification tray issue – probably not, but here it is nevertheless.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Alex240188:
The bug won't only effect those without security but it is only visible to those without it.

Because if you have any security on. You cannot pull the notification bar down while on the lock screen.

Meaning while the bug probably is happening. It doesn't cause any effects to you because your phone is ignoring the swipe down gesture
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Net.silb:
Super smooth like this!

I haven't tested it enough to know the implications on battery though...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Underground_XI:
Wrong. Nova gestures do not work on lockscreen.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Underground_XI:
Btw battery life on rc2 got back to being awesome after rc1. Normal usage nothing intensive.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Alex240188:
It would be interesting to know.

The person who has the issue with it dragging the ring to the top left. Did it only start doing this with the attempted fix from Franco in rc1.

Because here is my theory.

(Sorry I can't go into great detail because I'm not at my PC)

Bug is present

You touch screen

Initial touch point is registered at top left

It then detects actual touch and causes swipe down gesture.

Rc1 Franco delayed something in the touch driver to attempt to fix it.

Now if your quick enough

You touch lock ring

It detects correct input

The thing that Franco delayed kicks in and causes top left bug

Input jumps to top left and causes top left unlock bug
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mo'HAWK:
I went with the same thing but made it so you when you touch the screen two cores go online and when anything that's a little more intensive all 4 go online and I haven't seen any battery change really maybe even better possibly.

Would be a good idea if somebody started a poll in the general section and figure out how many people really do have this "bug". It might be a faulty panel as well which would be hardware problem. I run franco kernel right now and touch input appears where i touch the screen, no top left no top right.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kyokeun1234:
Been running Franco rc2 and everything is going very smooth. Touch screen is more responsive compared to r127 but that's about it. Everything else feels about same as r127. Can't say how the battery life is yet since I've been using for only a day or two but seems pretty nice so far.

I do not have this random touch screen bug that everyone is talking about. Everything works very fast and fluid.

I never thought that Franco kernel will get any better but I guess I'm wrong again. Good job as always Franco! :thumbup:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Agreed, I switched from the lock pattern to slide and haven't been able to reproduce the notification pull down bug once. Getting an idea of how many people actually have may help the devs figure out if it's something they can fix it if they're just pi$$ing in the wind.

Quick question : for battery it's better to have 4 core at low freq or 2 core at higher freq ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
You may get different answers on this. I thought battery was better with all 4 online with a lower frequency. I haven't used that since Franco released those test builds though.

All 4 online is pretty awesome IMO, I've just been sticking to the stock settings lately because of the new hotplug routines that Franco implemented.

Wow. I can't get it to work now. I guess the bug was so prevalent for me I thought it was a lock screen feature. I actually used it all the time to check notifications without unlocking but not pulling down from the very top. Lol that's classic.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:

Kernel has nothing to do with that, something else is going on there.

Sorry I didn't understand which post do you want my thoughts on.

No.

Franco just advertise it as a feature and you don't need to fix it anymore :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] JNewms:
Has anyone tested the difference between the latest hotplug routine and going with all 4 cores constantly online? I'm curious to see what the results between the two were. I'm thinking of switching to all 4, but am loving this hotplug on my battery.

Idle drain seems to be better now on rc2 by the way.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Alex240188:
It's hard to debug it because it only happens occasionally under set circumstances.

I'll give you them if you want to try yourself.

I have only observed this bug when bringing the phone out of deep sleep. Meaning it has been in my pocket or side for hours

Press power button to wake

As soon as the screen comes on, a quick swipe to unlock the lock screen.

Instead of unlocking the screen the notification bar come down.

It could be a panel fault but based on what I have seen and the fact that it only occurs when coming out of deep sleep leans me towards pointing at a software bug

Hi Franco, I tried to compile your sources with my Linux OS anyway I'm a noob and I don't know what my mistakes are.

I run Ubuntu 13.4 x64 with GCC 4.6, 4,7 and 4.8 installed (4.8 system default), java jdk 6u45 (removed openjdk).

I cloned your GIT nightlies branch. Now I don't know where to put the toolchain... And how to start compiling (I see a makefile, don't know if I have to configure it...)

Can you help me? I don't want to compete with you, just build from sources on my own...

Shot in the dark but you're probably using Latitude, or rather have it on. If you're not using it, turn off stuff from Maps' settings. It makes a day and night difference for me. You could also turn off Google Now if you want to go further. If you want to go even further, go to your locations settings and disable apps' access to your location. Use the GPS toggle from quick settings to turn it on/off whenever you use it. And of course keep an eye on rogue apps and background processes.

Hi Franco - Thanks for great kernel - loving the updater app and the battery life is amazing. I'm going to be a pain(?) and ask if you could implement the USB OTG "stuff" into your kernel so that we could flash the package enabling USB OTG (from the other thread available with your modified M1 Kernel) but then re-flash your latest nightly kernel using the updater and still have USB OTG working. Either that or maybe even do USB OTG support itself yourself? In any case adding the "bits" to the nightly kernels would be great. Is this do-able? Would there be any drawbacks? It's just that you've added some great stuffs to the latest nightlies and the M1 is a bit behind in comparison. If you could it would be much appreciated as seen it mentioned in this thread a few times. :)

Thing is you shouldn't have to neuter your phone by disabling things like Google Now to get better battery life. Its one of the key features that really makes Android and Jelly Bean shine in my opinion. Any advice that doesn't involve turning that off is great though. Unless of course you dont use it, but I use mine everyday. Out of the box things should just work and be fine...hopefully Google fixes that with this rumored 4.3 Jelly Bean update (since I've heard 5.0 KLP won't happen until Fall anymore...based on Android Police)
