I gotta say I like this 6.0 version the best. I have been keeping track of my battery drain overnight when the wifi and cell are off. With previous versions the battery would drain between 2% and 3% over a 12hr period. With v6.0 it hasn't drained at all over 12hrs.....fantastic...:good:

Yup, happens all the time here. Join the pissed off club here:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40065

Google is really dragging it's feet and its really frustrating. This a major issue in 4.2.1 that affects all devices running it. There's also a data drops thread in General. Hopefully they fix it in 4.2.2 because Wi-Fi is basically unusable for me on both my N4 and N7. I also get data drops on Hspa+
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SA-07:
Well I didn't know it was such a widespread problem! I thought it was only with the kernels.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bigmase521:
Re: [KERNEL] *Matr1x* v6.0 | JB - 4.2/4.2.1

Did you mean "so"or "not" ? Do you have your Wi-Fi sleep policy set to sleep "never" ?

The consensus seems to be that it's definitely across the board, across multiple devices, in multiple countries, but certain routers/settings have mitigating factors/workarounds. Some can connect fine at work, but not at home, and vice versa, and some not at all, it's a cluster, and it took Google 47 days to even acknowledge the problem after hundreds of reports..and even now they're still spinning their wheels. So consider yourself lucky!

Re: [KERNEL] *Matr1x* v6.0 | JB - 4.2/4.2.1

I have only had the issue on my Nexus 4 with custom kernels. I had a lot of problem with it on my Nexus S on a D-Link router but it went away after I switched to an Asus router.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bigmase521:
Re: [KERNEL] *Matr1x* v6.0 | JB - 4.2/4.2.1

Right, like I said some routers work OK. They just have settings that mitigate the problem, but there issue is still there.

They definitely broke something in the network/Wi-Fi stack (possibly arp related) in 4.2/4.2.1 because that's when this problem started. It was fine on 4.1.2. Google is also claiming that the N4 has a buggy Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver and that's it's a "known issue". But here we are in late January and nothing. Something is really fishy here I'm telling you.

Sorry for the now-OT rant Mathkid, patiently awaiting 6.5 :thumbup:

Re: [KERNEL] *Matr1x* v6.0 | JB - 4.2/4.2.1

I had 4.1 on my Nexus S when I was having the issue. I never put 4.2 on it because I had my Nexus 4 by then.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MaxCarnage:
I meant "so", as in so many people are experiencing it with different ROMs, kernels, and configurations, and yet I have no experienced it. My wifi sleep policy is "never", and I really only connect to two wifi routers (my mifi and home router), so I'm hardly a typical case though.

Re: [KERNEL] *Matr1x* v6.0 | JB - 4.2/4.2.1

Oh gotcha. I don't have a Nexus S but it's interesting that you experienced this behavior earlier. Ever file a bug?

I thought "so" :p. Yea it's pretty crazy. I'm really surprised that there haven't been more reports about this in the press.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] remczar69:
I ned to say that the version 6.0 combined woth the latest PA build (Jan 30) is great. Almost 10h since unplugged and 80% battery left.

EDIT: can anyone pleas advise any good gamma settings with this kernel? What governors are you using and what are the different experiences on them? I am running unchanged out of the box atm, but maybe there are some tweaks I can do in Trickster MOD to improve the overall experience, which is already great.

EDIT 2: Ok Guys. If anyone is interested you can try some settings for governors on the 6.0 build, which I have found in Franco's thread. For me they improved the overall experience, which was already great.

Switch to interactive Governor and in Governor Control set the values to:

above_hispeed_delay: 15000

go_hispeed_load: 90

hispeed_freq: 1026000

min_sample_time: 45000

target_loads: 80

timer_rate: 30000

Maybe someone will find it usefull. I already had a great battery life with Matr1x 6.0 but now the battery is even good and the overall feeling is even smoother.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kel Ghu:
Best kernel hands down. It doesn't have all the features like governors etc of franco's but at the same time doesn't need it at all.

Re: [KERNEL] *Matr1x* v6.0 | JB - 4.2/4.2.1

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kel Ghu:
Where do you change that?

With Fauxclock app, LG preset with Gamma 0 all to 31 gives us approx. 2.2 gamma to all 3 colors using Display Tester app, which is what we want. I don't know how it translate to the values you are refering to.

Mathkid, you should look into that and make it the default value because it changes everything.

First - none of 2 conditions are matching my situation - not using chrome, wi-fi always on. I don't have this wakelock on any other kernel - Franco, Morfic, etc. with the same rom & setup.

What people don't understand is as much as Google tries, not all phones will react the same to various changes. This kernel gives me great battery life but it is also the only kernel I've tried that gives me notification lag on Wi-Fi and the occasional data drop. Is that Mathkid's fault? No and he is a great kid but that's just how my phone reacts to some of the changes made like the wakelock patches. It doesn't make this any less of a kernel, considering I still use it.
