Is it normal that with mpdecision off all my 4 core are always online (seeing that in FauxClock app) ? Whatever it does with Ondemand / Interactive / Intellidemand .. i don't understand why ..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
That should not be the case when using Intellidemand. Ondemand/Interactive it will work like that. If you are seeing that with Intellidemand try dirty flashing your ROm, Gapps, and kernel again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tlf55:
It's a new flash, i just flashed STOCK then flashed Faux kernel 14m ..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
What Rom are you on? Stock only works on a stock Rom.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] willybarca:
yes, buzzing sound while listening to music on the latest beta
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tlf55:
I'm on Stock rom from Google 4.2.2 with faux 14m

Edit : If i put Eco mode it's working good but when i just leave Snake charmer "on" .. MPdecision and ecomode off . It showing me 4 core online ..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
Something isnt working correctly then. I would download it again and dirty flash your rom/gapps/kernel again. Intellidemand should definitely be offlining cores with mpdecision off.

Issue reporting:

Lately having really bad time with swipe2lock/unlock feature.

Seems like pocket rubbing causes screen to be non-responsive when I take out the phone.

:(

It used to work nicely in releases before 12.

Maybe something can be re-tuned for this feature.

I'm using 14m / 15b2 on xylon nightlies.

Here's a screenshot of quad core overall stats

This should more accurately represent the actual CPU usage. In today's multi core environment displaying only 1 CPU's frequency stats is almost pointless, you need to show all cores' stats in order to paint a better picture for CPU usage.

it's a special test version I created from CPUSpy's open source code.

FauxClock will eventually have the same capability to show quad core stats (I've been getting requests for display CPU stats, but Almost ALL CPU stat monitor out there including the original CPUSpy ONLY shows core 0's stats which is only 1/4 of the total picture for core usage).

Hi Faux, have you an idea why my all 4 core stay active when i disable Mpdecision ?

Underclock to 1.134 ghz, Snake Charmer On and Gov : Intellidemand
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
not sure why... unless intelli_plug was disabled somehow... if both mpdecison + intelli_plug are disabled, you could experience all 4 cores active.

Are you using my app or script?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tlf55:
No script and yes i bought you app ! :D

I went to see in Sys/Module/....... to see if Intelli_plug was on 1 and it was .. So Intelli_plug 1, Mpdecision off .. And your app showing that all 4 core app is online .. it only go offline if i put the Eco mode On. :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
that's weird, so it meant you have some rogue app running that's requesting all cpus to be active to satisfy whatever it is asking :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tlf55:
Thanks for you help, i'm going to find this out ! :good:

I know what is mpdecision but I don't know why mpdecision give me more score with antutu
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
I dont understand why anyone would take the time to answer someone so unhelpfully.....if you dont want to help just remain silent. Mpdecision is much much more aggressive with how it onlines cores, hence more heat (and higher benchmaks when thermal throttling is turned off. Faux has chosen a much less aggressive way to online core for battery savings and less heat, hence all 4 cores dont ramp up as fast and benchmarks are lower. If you like high benchmark scores Faux's kernel is definitely not for you, but it is very battery friendly and cool running. Inceidentally I always use mpdecision with kernels that offer it as nothing else can provide such a smooth user experience. Its a trade off devs are still challenged with. Google nailed the smoothness when it introduced mpdecision, however battery life and heat are the resulting side affect.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] j.llorente:
OK! Thanks!! I thought that although mpdecision is off, antutu turns on all cores to max freq independently and the score only depends on max freq. I was confused and you answered me very well. I'm using this kernel because I prefer more battery life. Antutu's result is unimportant but I wanted to solve my doubt.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Charles_l:
Hi Faux, I have the same issue, office CM + 14m kernel, using intellidemand, mpdecision off, eco off, snake charmer off.

Sometimes I setup/check the voltage with your app, and then I switch to CPU status, all 4 cores will keep online, and if I enable/disable ECO mode or enable/disable mpdecision, then CPU status will back to normal. is it a bug?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kara mustafa:
There is something wrong with CM in the last period, problems with WiFi, etc. I have just installed vanilla and everything works pretty well.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cmdmilitia13:
I'm using player pro & have no buzzing sound on latest beta,I'm also on PAC ROM if that makes a diff..can it be power amp or PA rom that's conflicting with the sound?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] spelaben:
Might the buzzing sound be related to a too low minimum frequency?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] reaperofwaywardsouls:
For those with the audio buzzing issues, and that are using poweramp- can you try raising the thread priority in poweramp's settings and see if there is a change? I would try but I'm at work.

Hi I've been experiencing a lot of random reboots. I get that problem where sometimes I lose app data, my fsync is on. I'm not too sure if it's the kernel or rom. However yesterday I did wipe my data and start fresh with a new rom (xylon) and downloaded kernel b1503 as I thought v14 was the problem. My baseband is .48 if that matters. Sometimes the phone doesn't wake up from sleep, sometimes it freezes while using it. My last random reboot was really strange though, it wouldn't wake up from sleep so I thought it'd restart soon, however I pressed the power button again and it was like nothing happened. I check battery stats and it indeed did restart however with no boot screen. I checked the last_ksmg and it says: last boot reason: hw_reset.

I really don't want to change kernels as I love the battery life on this kernel and I've bought all of the apps that go with this kernel, so fixing these random reboots would be a dream come true :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kstano83:
In the morning I unplugged the phone when it was fully charged. 4 hours have passed now and I am on 90% with 10 minutes of sot.

I am on v14, ECO mode on, snake charmer on, UC to 1,35 intellidemand, SOC 0,1 and 3 on, -175 UV. WIFI off, no data. CPU spy shows 1,5 hours at 162 Mhz and 1,5 hours deep sleep.

Is it ok, or my phone does not really sleep?

What's been taken out? :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] p2pjack:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] linelock:
I would say due to this.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Globespy:
Noticed that phone doesn't deep sleep as well as 15b03.

It's still pretty good, but about 20% of the time it's using the min frequency (162).

15b03 was pretty much all deep sleep.

Any reason why this might be the case when nothing else had changed other than the new kernel?

Why do you laugh? If that's what they play often then why wouldn't they be happy to be able to have a phone that plays that game without a hiccup? I play Wipeout a lot and if a kernel can't play it smoothly then I try to adjust the parameters to try and tune it. Otherwise I change kernels.

What matters is that that person is happy with their phone ;)

It's funny because he chooses to confirm speed with a low end game that practically any phone with even a single core could run. Now we'd be talking if he had real racing or nova 3, or other intense games. I didn't mean disrespect, it's just testing like that is like me using Doom to test a 680.
