I can see both sides. A rooting "virgin" doesn't learn much from using a Toolkit. The flip side to that is they safely and quickly can unlock their bootloaders and enjoy the benefits of root access. Hopefully they learn some things moving forward.

I used a Toolkit with my Nexus 4 purely out of convenience. (ie laziness) I rooted my G2 using Terminal Emulator and typing in line after line of code, sweating while following instructions here on XDA. It was nice to learn the ins and outs of rooting, but it was also nice this time to just type some numbers and press "Enter". I will admit, though, it is kinda frustrating when someone uses a Toolkit to root, then makes a post asking how to reboot into recovery. :silly:

i bet that depends on the room temperature... this morning i did the r31 test in a room temperature of 14 degree celsius and lagfree lasted for 15 minutes, now I play in a room with a heater, which is abit warmer and the phone heats up pretty faster, lagfree for around 7 minutes only

so no need to worry, we are playing the same game with the same kernel, minooch.com wont give u a hotter kernel and the speed to throttle varies because of environmental factors and theres no point comparing between users. thats why I myself and my home's temperature are one of the control variables between the tests of r30 and r31 - then the time taken to throttle is worth comparing between the kernel versions

now the focus should be how the device handles throttling / hotplug stuffs, and when you are experiencing the similar pattern, you're already good after reporting that you also see the phenomenon that has been reported :good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Taxiback:
I know r31 is out (just installed it) but just wanted to say that from r24 right up to r30 still getting connection problems even with a good signal. The bars are no longer grey like before r30 but every now and then I can't connect to the internet, market or anything, then out of the blue it just comes back.

I know it could be my provider (Vodafone) but unless the signal bars and H or H+ mean absolutely nothing and are just there for show I'm at a loss.

Stock Rom r30 Kernel sitting in the same spot without moving!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nellisere:
I also seem to be having problems with internet connectivity, the Play Store will say "No Connection" and things just don't work (r31) Yes I am on CyanogenMod latest nightly but if it's happening on Stock ROM then it's not going to be a ROM issue. Do you need a logcat or dmesg for this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 309041291a:
It's gotta be your carriers, I'm using it on WIND and I'm getting good signal, that's crazy for us WIND users indoors lol
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nellisere:
I'm on GiffGaff in the UK, and the other person is on Vodafone, I'd find it an unlikely coincidence that they're both having data problems at the same time. Like we said, the phone get's signal, shows H and blue bard, but it just doesn't work.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Taxiback:
Just added play store screenshot, mine is the same.

I'm using r31, it's great. I'm on Vodafone UK and data is working fine here. I'm replying using mobile data now. :screwy:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jhericurls:
This has happened to me on other kernels. And it seems it doesn't affect everyone.

But it seems like it could be a region thing. I'm also in the UK.

They probably mean random data drops benrees. It's such a strange issue, so random.

I used to have those issues when I was using CM10.1... I switched to Minco and data issues are gone...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Taxiback:
That about sums it up "screwy"

What's more annoying is all the missed calls and texts, you sit somewhere with 4 blue bars and an H not realising you don't actually have a signal. :(

Even stock? Never happened here on stock and the only other I've tried is franco's and that was all right up to r23.

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

So you're both implying it's a Rom issue and not the kernel? Just seems odd that stock works and stock + franco doesn't (some of the time).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vangelis13:
For the ones with loss of data; I think this app can verify whether you have data connection or not while on full signal (whatever that will confirm or deny). At least it can warn you when you are without signal. Worth a try perhaps.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.missedcall

P.S. Do give MiNCO a try, it is a really good & stable rom.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Pulsu:
Hi! I have a data drops too every now and then.. Every kernel version that I've tried.. First was r24.

I'm using cm latest nightly.. No data drops on stock cm kernel.. Always a good signal.. Data just drops even it still shows H or H+.

Not complaining just saying.. :) Keep up the good work!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DowntownJeffBrown:
I completely disagree with u. I had been running another kernel because at r22 and there after my battery life on this kernel was dropping. I kept trying Franco after every couple updates and then suddenly on r30 and now r31 my battery life is better than on any other kernel that I've gotten to this point.

Franco you mad genius you :D

You can also check under About Phone → Status, to see your exact reception in dBm, not bars; to verify if the bars representation is screwing up.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Taxiback:
Reading the comments it appears to still indicate you have a signal when the phone doesn't, cant see how that is of any use. :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] disq:
If you use the zip for installation, you don't need to check the md5. If the file is corrupt, it'll fail to unpack, so no flashing will be done. (This is not the case for .img flashing via fastboot though)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vangelis13:
I gave it a quick spin, tried aeroplane mode, it registered the loss & re-gain of signal instantly. Worth trying I'd say.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nellisere:
I tried MiNCO, wasn't to my taste and I've been a CM user since my first Android phone (HTC Hero). Just hope it's a temporrary issue that'll clear up soon.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Taxiback:
LOL, I usually just ask the person next to me if they have a signal.

What's annoying is I'm on Vodafone which has the best coverage in the UK and all those 02 and 3 users that can't get a signal anywhere if a transmitter is not visible by eye are getting a signal when I'm not and to cap it all Vodafone are now using 02 mast as well as there own!

“We’ve partnered with O2 to give you even better mobile coverage across the UK.”
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] springy:
I have used 23, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 and I have experience 1 data drop since then and it is probably because of the carrier. I am orange in the UK.

Also the kernel seems fine and working well giving amazing battery life. So far so good for me :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
I'm from Switzerland and have this problem as well. For me 23 was the last one that worked properly. However I haven't done enough tests on 30 or 31 yet.

Edit: I noticed it while making test with the Speedtest app. This are my results so far.

Edit: First one is obviously the date and the second number are Mbit/s.

You're lucky to get a signal on Orange. :)

They used to be the best back in the 90's, I used them then.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MattyPW:
Vodafone has the worst signal coverage in the UK! Especially for data!! What are you on about???

As for the data drops... I've had none that I know of.

And those pics posted a few pages back, the last 2 pics with no data connection look as if the phone has connected to a hotspot and is waiting for you to sign in to the landing page (see the hotspot logo top left)...which would explain data loss!!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CaspaTheGhost:
Best coverage in the UK? Based on what?

Thought they were all pretty much the same these days.

And yeah, they were the best back then, in the banana phone days.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jazzboyrules:
To people on AT&T (US), does this kernel work work if you have modified the APN for HSPA+. I was seeing the constant switching in and out of mobile connectivity (even on r31) while on the modified APN. But after switching to the stock APN and restarting, that switching doesn't happen. I am not sure if restarting resolved it or switching the APN.

While I was on modified APN all the time, the data connectivity going bizarre happening every time I left work and the phone switched from work wifi to mobile data. I have yet to see that happen while on stock APN. Yesterday when that happened I was on r29 and I saved the logcat soon after that started happening.

--> logcat

@Francisco, do you use the stock APN on your phone?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Taxiback:
You are joking right?

Top left, that's letting me know there is a wi-fi connection nearby. I hadn't moved for all three screen shots, the only reason the greyed out wi-fi vanished is because the phone signal went blue and the H appeared. Still had no signal though.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yokuyuki:
I've had the opposite effect. Going from r28 -> r29/r30 improved my battery life significantly in the msm_hsic_host wakelock area, r31 worsened it.

I'm using the pta APN and I've had no problems on r31.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Taxiback:
The ONLY reason people use networks other than Vodafone is because they offer unlimited data and lots of other freebie's, they have to they have such poor coverage. No one in their right mind or anyone that needs a phone to make phone calls would use anything else.

Like I've said before I'm in Tunbridge Wells and anyone that comes round my house on 02, 3, Orange, T mobile or Giffgaff have to go out in the garden to get a signal and even then they are walking around waving their hand in the air.

I drive for a living all over the country, I've tried all networks and only Vodafone works most everywhere. You can speculate, I've actually used them.

Franco, you're ****ing awesome. Maybe I'll run into you in downtown Mountain View Castro and have to buy you lunch! Haven't flashed r31 because r30 is just flying smooth for me.

Really the one core to two core jump is SPOT ON. If i tap my finger everywhere it stays on one core but the moment i slide my finger more than an inch across, second core kicks in. Beautiful dude.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sionyboy:
Darn, been seeing how much battery I can squeeze out of r31 today, all was going well and was on course for 5hr+ of screen on. Checked my phone to find a sudden drop, and it seems that Android System has been keeping the phone awake for the past 1hr 34min. After checking BetterBatteryStats it looks like LocationManagerService is the culprit, although I'm not sure what app is keeping this running. Anyone have any idea?

(Just to let you all know, Facebook location/notifications etc are off, Google+ all off, Latitude off, Maps Check-Ins is off,no automatic reporting from my device)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DowntownJeffBrown:
R31 this is only the second time I've gotten over 4:30 I normally get right at 4 hours I have a rev10 and I'm on skanky 0110 what a since smooth battery drain this is.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sionyboy:
Possibly, although if that were the case wouldn't it be draining constantly? I've got most Google Now cards on, so I'm not sure what could cause it to suddenly come to life and stay on.

Every few days Android System keeps my phone awake for several hours. A reboot or using ATK (I know, I know.. I shouldn't) to close down all non-essential apps will sort it, so I guess its just going to be a case of shutting down everything one at a time to find out what is causing this. :eek:

Try uninstalling any recent apps you installed. I had a rogue app that did this.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] HigherSensation:
Fantastic work franco i had to buy your app to show support.Your kernel fits my needs for everyday usage.I must admit i rarely play games.This is what my battery life looks like after a whole day of usage. Im using r30 with stock settings and minco v6.Some advice for other users please give the kernel time to settle in after flashing let the phone drain to about 5 % then charge it up fully it work wonders.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kioshi:
Are you auto-flashing and rebooting for kernel nightlys?

On one of the kernels, i think r19 or r21 i had Android OS use up 35% of my phone. Then after a few days i downloaded a newer kernel and flashed through recovery after wiping davlik/cache and it was all fine. On r29 after i updated LINE messaging app, that app would use up 56% of my phone, awake for 5hrs and 45 mins lol...did the same procedure for r30 kernel and now everything is normal.

You have to kind of play around with it. Not every kernel build will function 100% the same for every Nexus 4 phone.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Pulsu:
Yeah.. I was using cm nightlys.. Never had a data drops with a stock cm kernel.. Cm +Franco kernel it was about 5 min browsing and data stopped.

Vodafone UK gives best coverage. I've been with every other network. With Vodafone I get full signal with HSDPA+ indoors. Anywhere else I have been I'm never without a signal.

That'd be a typo if anything (or just copy and paste from gnex). 4.1.1 sources never existed for the nexus 4, it'd be pointless to port 4.1.1 to the nexus 4.

Been using Franco for a while and just trying motley b10. It feels much closer to stock and is impressive but battery life is TBD. In case someone is interested in trying. My experience personally is the recent Franco releases haven't been as great for me on my phone and use case. Will try Franco again on some further releases. Good luck everyone:beer:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pedxing:
Same but with defaults and 384/1300 freqs.

R31 is definitely causing the battery to take a hit. No wake locks to speak of. On WiFi all day. I'm now at 17% left with only 2 hrs and 50 minutes screen on time. Auto brightness is on. Normally I'd get 5.5 hours in this use case. Only been ereading and forum surfing. No games, no video.

All the battery use is due to the screen and i think excessive cpu due to the new governor tweaks.
