[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
The problem is wifi drivers are updated, but are not yet released by Sony. The drivers my kernel are using are still out dated. I'm waiting until Sony releases the new source code for the latest update for it to be fixed :)

I guess it's because wifi drivers in this kernel, those drivers need an update I'm just waiting for Sony's latest source code so I can fix it :)

Sorry about that :(

That's strange, I didn't face any issue with pegasusq governor, it's driving me crazy when I hear someone is having an issue with it.

In my case I had no init.d scripts running nor build.prop values. I'm starting to think it has something to do with a script running or a build.prop value added. if you could please zip for me all init.d scripts running on your device and the newly added values to build.prop if there are any so I can have a look at them.

which governor are you using? I recall it happened to me once with smartassv2 though I'm not sure. but with onDemand and pegasusq it never happened to me.

Version 6 Test 5!!? Does it blank a red led when connected to Power Supply (either laptop or wall charger) ?

Another thing, the device bricked immediately after you flashed the kernel or did it take some days for this to happen?

in my case I'm doubting two things, either because I had overclocked to 1.2GHz or because of this:

I was attempting to flash the brains Rom, so I turned off my device. usually Android turns off GSM before it turns off the phone, but in my case GSM got back online just before the phone turned off, I think that is the cause of my device bricking, though I don't want to risk others devices.

Also from your comment I understand that you are seeing lights from the screen but it's blank and nothing is shown, right?

if so then it's a software issue and not a hard brick.

I once faced the following issue while I was running stock software with stock kernel:

A. Device Touch screen doesn't respond, freezes for about 10 minutes while the phone is still working if I attempt to press power button it responds also with volume buttons, but touch doesn't work. only a reboot would fix it.

B. the phone doesn't wake up, it turns on the lights of the screen but nothing is shown on the screen, only a reboot would fix it.

@PAVNEET101 I suggest you try what neverhood11 recommended, though it's a bit too late since you said it's off to Sony center now.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:

I`m using Ondemand/sio...and it happened couple of times..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Have you tried clearing cache and dalvike cache?!

Oh and by the way, you are using version 6 test 6 right?

if yes, did it happen to you on test 5?

If know then I will re-enable the deep sleep state but I think it will re-cause the issue of losing signal :-/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
I`ll try to clear cache and dalvik cache...if it happens again, I`ll write you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
I had a similar problem two weeks ago with V4.

After I disconnected my phone from the charger in the morning,

it shut`s down and got into bootloop after that. I tried to reflash the kernel or other kernels,

but after that the phone doesn`t boot at all. I can see that the screen is on, but nothing else.

Then I managed to flash the stock ROM with flashtool and after that the phone was booting fine again. Don`t know what caused this issue.

I had never oc or done something unusual.

What I faced even with V6 is, that sometimes when the phone get`s charged over night, it does a reboot by itself and when I take it off the charger I have to enter PIN Code again. That happend to me 3 times with different versions of the kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I'm afraid that is because of the governors.

Why I'm suspecting that?

Before I add those governors no one reported such issues, I keep track of every single change I do to the kernel configurations except for the last one, I forgot about it :(

If the problem is annoying users, I can make two different versions, one with governors and one without (while keeping IO schedulers)

I'm currently working on trying to get an acceptance from one of the users who has made a touch recovery to implement it to my kernel, if he agrees, I will release those two versions with the touch recovery, if he doesn't then everything will stay the same but the kernel will still have two versions one with governors and one without :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
i really wonder why some have this issues on the kernel...coz ive been using all the versions of this kernel,and i didnt encounter any problems,even the signal drops, and now im confused what to use coz of some devices having issues, i think my phone is the only one compatible with this kernel...hahahahah!deep im in v6-test5 do i need to update?:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
Sometimes i have the feeling that we all own VERY different sxp each.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Since you are not facing issues, then no, there is no need for that. in test 6 I only disabled deep sleep state of the CPU which was causing signal loses.

Since you are ok on version 6-Test 5 then stick with it my friend :D

I guess it's time to make version 6 as a final release, keeping it as test release make users stay away from it :-/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
just to clarify deep, when will signal issues occur?maybe i have that issue, or maybe not, coz when i wake up in the morning the signal is there, so which means i dont have that issue right?and im always using pegasusq and i dont have any issues, im really in a confused state..coz it seems its only my phone loves to eat this damn creamy kernel,hahahahhaha....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Same here bro, I never lost signal, though I'm using pegasusq and SIO just like you.

so as long as you are not facing any issue, there is no need to flash test 6.

Users are reporting that sometimes after a deep sleep of the phone the signal is lost. which mostly happen during night when the owner is sleeping.

But me nor you had this issue and I don't see any reasonable excuse for flashing version 6-test 6 because it only disables the cpu deep sleep state that I enabled in kernel configurations.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
which means it drains the battery slightly than test5, am i right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sonnyxperia:
flash v6 test 6 governor:pegasusq scheduler:sio rom:brainsrom= no network

flash v6 test 6 governor:ondemand scheduler:sio rom:brainsrom= signal is ok:good:

i'll go for without governors :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
I have a suggestion for those who are having signal issues. I tried this with THJAP kernel and i found no signal issues then.

Set min frequency to 400 mhz for screen off state.You can use( setcpu) profile service for doing this.

Note- this may drain your battery faster than usual.

Or try using those governors in which both cores are in working state.

Hope it helps you:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
ya SLIGHTLY and not a major drain that will be noticed, but that slightly makes a difference ^__^ :p

You got it my friend. the next release will include a copy without governors :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
thanks for your help bro, but i think they wanna use Sliding_xp not thjaps, and deep is doing the best he can, so no need to swap kernels...:angel:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
You got him wrong my friend, what he said: he was facing signal issues with ThP kernel, to fix it he made min frequency at 400MHz.

so if users want to fix that issue, they could raise min freq to 400MHz ON MY KERNEL to see if it truly fix it or not.

I doubt he will recommend switching kernels, he is truly helping out with his feedbacks and testings & support :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
well sorry deep, coz he said "i tried this with" which i thought he meant the other kernel,the "this" word was your kernel,...i guess english grammar is important,hihihi:silly:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
You got me wrong bro, actually i meant to say that i tried this method when i was using THJAP kernel. Now since sliding XP inception i have been using this kernel and had no signal issues.

And i have never adviced any sliding XP user that he should switch to another kernel. Why should i do that?? This kernel is very perfect for me.:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
To clear up few things my friend, I WILL NEVER reply to a user in anger or try to do my best to prove the other person wrong ...etc

which leads to, it's a simple conversation between you me and Gaurav8180, so there is no need to say "sorry" my friend :D

We are here to share ideas and help each other, let's focus on this point (and keep on pressing Thanks button :p )

naa just kidding about the thanks button thingy :silly:

Have a nice day :D (cuz I'm off to have lunch :p, anyone can join just make sure you bring your own meal with you, no one is getting a piece from my meal :p ^__^ )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Thanks bro for clearing out what i meant to say by that post even before me.

Thanks alot and have a great and delicious lunch:D. I could have joined you for lunch but Just 10 min back i have had my dinner.;);):D:D:D:D. Its 10 pm now in my country. :D:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Hey guys just wanted to tell you that starting now until Wednesday I wont be accessing tech sites including Xda since it's my birthday tomorrow, so I want to have a break at for 24 hours ^__^

Lets hope by that time Sony releases the new source code so I can get back to work on something new :D

Thank you all for everything and will be back to you after tomorrow :)

Neither i had issues with v1, nor with v2, but i would like to see much more development of this amazing kernel, we all are with you. Best of luck in advance

Keep trying hard, and we will keep supporting you and your developments.:;) cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thank you for your support :)

So far I'm trying to make the best out of the source code as is, I mean with no further modification. I will start including overclocking and other stuff once I'm done with my current task.

Also please be patient guys from Saturday till Wednesday I have midterm exams so I can't spend much time on developing :(

Thanks for everyone who supported my work with their feedback / Thank you button & raiting :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
I just wanted to know why did you name your kernel "SLIDING"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Habix79:
I use V2 the other day and I am very satisfied, thank you and I hope in the next version. : Good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
To be honest, I had no name in my head for the kernel. so I opened the list of linux kernels and checked out their names. took a part from 2.6 kernel name and added XP since "sliding" alone wont have a meaning. I'm not that good in picking up names :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Will do so, thank you for your feedback :D

I'm doing my best to give you the best results :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljmanayon:
Best Kernel yet... keep it up.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
hmmm, i think you have chosen a right name as it works like a furious fast ferrari;). good thought:laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] musvi:
Great battery life! We can save even more battery if u manage to port hotplug governor..

Sent from my LT22i
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I will be working on it today, so far v3 brings better graphics performance, I have noticed it while testing it on Temple Run.

and maybe better battery life. When I went to bed yesterday my phone was at 50% (airplane mode turned on when I went to bed) woke up 8 hours later and it was still on 50%. anyone noticed the same in v1 or v2?

I will release the new version once I finish the following:

1. implement a fully working recovery (which is so far Doomlord's recovery)

2. implement hotplug governor.

As for over clocking it is not giving good results, either I'm implementing it the wrong way or it is really effecting the device. I started having lags when I overclocked via SetCpu to 1.2GHz while I got better performance while I set the clock to 800MHz :eek:

So far I will be leaving overclock until I find out what is really causing the issue.

If anyone would like to see something else please report in this thread and I will do my best to make it a part of the kernel :D

Thank you for your feedbacks and support guys :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SquaDrive:
woo!..

yay..waiting for ur v3 krnel..xD..

on v1 when i go to bed on airplane mode..

from 100% down to 97%...

:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Here is the screenshot, as you can see while airplane mode was on the graph shows a straight line, though I don't know why the phone was awake during that time :-/

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SquaDrive:
what? wait!..

is that even possible??:eek:

do u have any running background apps??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I have the usual running processes.

What's app

Google Maps

Facebook Messenger

USB Connectivity

Google Services

Facebook App

Small apps manager

Xperia Keyboard.

This is the first time I see the phone is awake during night. usually it's sleeping, I wonder what it was doing all night :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SquaDrive:
wow..xD..

n that happen..

ur phone is AWAKE!!

Dumb question, to install this kernel or any other kernel do i NEED to have the bootloader unlocked?

If so, is there any way to unlock the bootloader without using the Sony method? Because my bootloader can't be unlocked, and i already contacted my mobile network operator (Portugal - Optimus) and they Won't unlock it...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
1. it's not a dumb question just because everyone around here knows the answer :)

2. According to my information you can't unlock it via Sony's method, you need your network operator to unlock it for, though I might be wrong I've never encountered such thing :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] velkowww:
I'm sorry for the ignorance but how I shoul install it ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

i have a Xperia P which i bought 4-5 months ago (new), the battery was really bad and it would drain really fast no matter if i am using it or if it was on idle.

I unlocked the bootloader and installed TheSlidingXP kernel 6 test5, and after that i installed TheBrainsROM 03

The phone works much smoother and better after that, the battery too is much better then before but still really bad :/

I also followed the steps to recalibrate the battery and it is better but like i said before it is still bad :/

Yesterday before going to sleep the battery was on 17% it was 01:40 h, i left the phone and today when i got up at 09:30 h the phone was turned off and the battery was empty :/

Please someone give me some advice what else can i do to get better battery life and what did you do ?

Thanks in advance

P.S. i am using pegasusq as governor and sio for I/O scheduler
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
There must be something else draining your battery.. When I wake up, my battery is the same or 1% less then before..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arnes_king:
Here are 2 screenshots from the battery usage stats if it helps to find my problem :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nakedgun99:
sometimes when i playing games my screen Cant touch anything until lock and relock again sometimes i reboot because my touchscreen not respond.. ,, anybody same with me?

sory my bad english.. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
From the screen shots, i noticed one thing, the screen is consuming almost 3/4 th battery, try decreasing your display timeout and moreover decrease screen brightness also. Don't use auto brightness mode as it tends to increase brightness in dim light irrespective of screen visibility , its better you set the brightness manually and try you set it to the lowest possible level.

Note-Our XPERIA P is being commercialised on its ultra bright viewing screen(and truly it is) by Sony, hence visibilty would not be problem i think:D

Hope it helps you:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arnes_king:
Thanks for your reply, i have read that earlier and did that allready but i don't know how the phone drained 17% of battery while i was sleeping :S it was on idle, wi-fi, mobile data were turned off, i didn't recieved any calls or anything else that may have drained the battery :/

17% on idle in just 8 hours seems too wrong :/

EDIT: The thing that is the most curios to me is that since i posted the screenshots it is almost 3 hours ago and i used the phone since that and the battery drained till yet just 3%

It seems that it is using more battery for me on idle :S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
I have some simple techniques for saving battery (might you all know) but just want to share for someone betterment.

Don'ts

1. Don't ever use home button to exit an application as it doesnot end and keep running forever until you exit it which leads to battery drain.

2. Don't use auto brightness mode as it tends to increase your brightness in dim light irrespective of screen visibility.

3. Don't ever leave any webpage open in the browser.this will not end the browser and it keeps on running in your RAM.

4. Don't open any app if there is no substantial use of it.

Do's

1. Always Use back button or app inbuilt exit button to exit an application.

2. In browser(stock) always close(by using x button) all webpages before exit. It automatically closes the browser when you close the last webpage.

3. Manually set your brightness acc. To your need. ( keep changing the brightness acc. To light visiblity)

4. Try to keep the number of running apps to minimum level.

5. Regularly clear recent apps using recent app button.

6. Always do a reboot after 15-20 hours of uptime. This helps in clearing some inactive apps from your RAM.

Hope it helps anyone:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thanks bro :D I do owe you lots of things (you and all users of my kernel) but I doubt anyone will want to party in Syria these days :p

I wish for one thing, I wish my country gets back to the same old country I knew, everything was going great, no one was fighting :(

I wish for the best my friend, in God we trust :)

Thanks a lot my friend :D It means a lot to me :)

I will try to use a different recovery because I don't have the source code of THP recovery, that's why I can't fix it. but Doomlord gave me the OK to use his, though I tried using it but the problem still wasn't fixed. I will make my searches to see how could it be solved, so I can know what I'm missing :D

Thank you my friend :D and I'm glad that test 6 is working as it should be :D

Thank you my friend :D

Thanks my friend :D I really appreciate it :)

hehehe Thank you for your wishes my friend :)

To answer your question, I'm now 22 years old and no I'm not like some devs you see their pictures on the internet all white hair and thick glasses :p

Thank you my friend :D

Thaanks my friend :D

Thank you my friend :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thank you I will have a look at them right away :D

are you using version 6 test 6? because I thought it got fixed on this one, if not then I will recheck again :)

Version 6 test 6? hmmmm..... I'm starting to think it cannot be solved, though I will do my best for sure ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
Can anyone cross check:

with version 6 i cant restore backups. Error message: "Cant mount /system"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
What :crying:

but I'm using the same recovery from previous versions how is this possible :-/

Can you please open the backup file and send me the META-INF folder to have a look at it, maybe it's trying to mount the wrong block thinking it's the system block.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] josie87:
