I'm also noticing this, it's been happening for some time. Last week I uninstalled FauxClock (thus deleting its data), wiped system and cache, flashed AOKP build 5 (previously had 4), and flashed kernel 11u. Then I installed FauxClock. GPU settings worked as expected for a couple days, and then this odd "stuckness" returned.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] expertzero1:
I think the GPU is normal. Its at 400 with on demand. Move to 200 and its at 200.

Vsync on or off?

Idk but i think its bee. Like that since I've been using faux kernel in December
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] agalvin13:
this. I was coming from Franco and flashed the reset kernel and then the 1.9 turbo boost and bootlooped. Flashed the 1.8 and it works great.

Slow binning ;(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SteveRiley:
Set to ondemand. Frequency stuck 95% at 487; occasionally drops to 400. Slider stuck at left edge and won't move.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see a vsync setting anywhere?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
It's on the same tab but that's not the cause. The GPU freq is suppose to be dynamic and for some reason it's remaining at a specific clock. If you set it to 400 it use to drop to 200/128 once the screen was idle for x seconds. I've just set the GPU to 200 since that seems to have fixed the battery issue I was having.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SteveRiley:
Hm. Mine's missing:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
Install the app again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SteveRiley:
Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled. Vsync setting is still missing.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] j3di:
Reflash faux's kernel and try again?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SteveRiley:
Still no dice. Here's what I did:

* Uninstall app

* Reboot to recovery

* Flash reset kernel

* Reboot

* Wait for logcat to settle

* Reboot to recovery

* Flash Faux kernel 12u (I was wrong before when I said 11u)

* Reboot

* Wait for logcat to settle

* Reboot again

* Wait for logcat to settle

* Install FauxClock

* Check GPU tab -- Vsync missing still

I'm stumped!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
What type of rom are you using?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
I had a similar problem in the past, where the GPU clock slider seemed stuck and I couldn't use it anymore. Only way I could resolve it was through re-flashing my whole rom/kernel setup. I'm not 100% sure if it was a dirty flash or a wipe-flash but you could always try the dirty method first and then go for the wipe.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SteveRiley:
AOKP. This one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2025939. Currently running build 6 downloaded from the AOKP site: http://aokp.co/supported-devices/?id=54&device=mako (again, misreported version 5 in my original post. Blame it on rainy Sunday, lol)

I vaguely remember seeing the Vsync button shortly after my latest ROM+Gapps+kernel update; more importantly, I was happy that GPU adjustment appeared to be working again. This lasted for a couple days, IIRC. Then the ability to adjust GPU disappeared, and presumably that's when Vsync also went away.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] meangreenie:
Vsync setting never worked on N4, maybe it got removed from the app.

Also GPU clock has acted this way since 4.2.2 came out, it might use low power states and only clocks down with screen off... Just a guess.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
You're not really missing much anyway, gpu vsync toggle is meant for people to try benchmarks without the 60fps limit. It's better to leave it active for normal usage since jelly bean uses vsync.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SteveRiley:
Yeah, I'm not too worried about that, especially since it has nothing to with the ability to downclock the GPU.

Hm, curious. Would be interested in hearing from additional folks reading this thread and running 4.2.2. Does everyone see the "stuck" GPU slider?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] j3di:
To be sure then, flash ROM and faux kernel, then reboot and see what you got...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SteveRiley:
Received the following PM from a fellow member:

So adb shelled into the phone to take a look at the files in /sys/kernel/debug/clk/gfx3d_clk. Here's what I saw:

root@android:/sys/kernel/debug/clk/gfx3d_clk # grep . *

Then I tried this:

watch -n 1 cat rate

and fiddled around with the screen. Sure enough, the rate moves up and down, just like "ondemand" should. So GPU scaling appears to be working, despite what the app says.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] chris6278:
I had a strange problem earlier i flashed the 1.8 turbo boost kernel earlier with no problems and then i tried the 1.9 one and it bootlooped and a red light started flashing where my notification light is. Luckily it let me boot into recovery an i restored my backup. Anyone know why this happened?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] j3di:
Sounds like you undervolted too much, the 2 kernels might have different voltage floors?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sam1forever:
Ever tried flashing the 12m mainline kernel?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SteveRiley:
Worth a shot.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] vn00914361:
On official release v012tbu right now, it's been 2 days and still going great without any reboot =) I'm a heavy texter but I have no freaking idea why those are all I've got from checking Battery. Beside the battery mode, I'm using 3 other applications to save battery: DS Battery Saver Pro, Battery Saver Pro, and x2 Battery

Anyone have issues with Bluetooth not turning on at all after being turn off by yourself for sometime or Tasker?

Been experiencing this issue more and more lately. Hoping it can be fixed if more people chime in.

Here is some Google Bug reports on the issue:

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
I have that problem, but it isn't too frequent.

Also, your links don't work.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] johnxarma:
Hi. I'm using the Enhanced Stock kernel and when I undervolt at -100mv through Trickster Mod, when I open the app again voltages are changed like the screenshot. I apply the UV before exit the app of course.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
Looks right to me....800mv is the lowest you can go on ES. What is the voltage at higher frequencies?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] johnxarma:
Ah, i didnt know about the lowest on ES. thanks :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
Voltage at the low end isnt near as important as the upper frequencies anyway so I wouldnt worry about it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
I would say that statement is a bit to general. Lower voltage equals less energy consumption independent of frequency. If you never use that lower frequencies, than it's not as important ;)

I bet that your radio is still at .33

unless you have no LTE where you're at... upgrade it to .48.

I downgraded my radio to check out LTE signal in my area that the first thing I noticed is v-sync button was gone in fauxclock app
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dungeon47:
Normal, but not good. it's a known bug with the N4 radio. There are fixes that work for some out there. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102986

Make sure you aren't using the powersave governor. It makes the CPU frequencies stay at the min frequency no matter what task you are doing.

I've to flash the stable one?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kstano83:
I would like to ask somebody to get this straight for me. I wondered how undervolting can affect battery life so I did a test. I applied the setting from the OP for battery life, fully charged the phone, unplugged it and let Epic Citadel - guided tour run till 4%. The first screenshot is without UV, which gave me 3 hours and 15 minutes of battery life.

Later I again fully charged my phone but only lowered UV to -175. Ran the app again and I got 3 hours and 8 minutes. Which is slightly less than not undervolted.

How is that, please? Or is this not the case where undervolting is affective and the test was pointless?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
Check temps, that is probably the only difference. UV'ing has little to do with battery. Just heat, and by extension processor life? although Im sure no one will have this phone long enough to have that issue.

Mediaserver spiked up in the 2nd screen. Did you have music playing both times?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] expertzero1:
Whats the frame rate running with and without? As he said above maybe the temps were a factor plus how hard the cores were working.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ctfrommn:
There is an excellent app out there now that removes the subjectivity from battery life if you have the time and inclination to spend 5 hrs to drain it...

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kstano83:
I didnt check any app for the temperature, but I could barely feel the difference in my hand.

No, no music playing at all. The mediaserver appears randomly and I dont really know why or when. It slowly gets down after several full charges.

Huh. I have, in fact, downgraded the radio, but to .27 -- marked improvement in connection quality over .48 on T-Mobile in Seattle.

Isn't it odd that a modem stack would have any effect on v-sync? I can't grok that at all...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
faux, is there any chance you implement a set-on-boot delay?

for the last couple of days, I've had my UV set at -125. today, my phone decided to start boot looping and I couldn't get into the OS fast enough to change it or clear data for faux clock.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Redneck Trash:
You shouldn't have toggled set on boot to on unless you were sure your phone could handle the amount you undervolted.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hhyong99:
Hi faux, just a question.

I'm on latest PA rom, latest faux kernel, min 162, max1.8ghz, ID

When I play subway surf, at first it was smooth, but then after a while, it started to stutter.

Then when I check, max is set to 1.0ghz

But I dont get this behavior when I play repulze / NFS / Asphalt, I dont have such issue.

May I know if this is done by intention? Is there any logic behind this? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CrypticRook:
That's the thermal throttling. Phone must have been pretty hot to get to that point
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Sucalakafufu:
imo the N4 thermal throttling threshold gets hit way too quickly. running a simple game for 30 seconds sometimes does it. and the phone hardly seems warm to the touch during that time. I'm pretty positive the phone could handle more if it was allowed to. :/
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] j3di:
The temperature at which thermal throttling starts can be configured, but I'm not sure of the path.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] domii666:
Great Kernel!

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] fauzi_91:
how do u set it to min 300mhz? i can only uc to 384mhz.. :cool:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] android88:
You have to be running the latest beta (013b11r2) to have CPU frequencies as low as 164MHz.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cgulliver:
Is there a way to disable UV and throttling when charging? Maybe Tasker?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 0.0:
Controlling throttling and UV is kernel type of coding. It cannot be done with tasker

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] flash5000:
You can run a script with tasker which sets the according values, however I don't know the exact lines of code..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
What do you mean by "throttling"? Scaling max frequency? Governor? Those are quite easy to control via tasker, I already have some of these set up and could give you a little tutorial on how to do it. UV could be a bit tricky though because the table doesn't reset when you set the offset back to 0.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] justanut:
Setcpu can do it I think
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
it had been a couple of days! i know trickster mod includes it, and eos will notice a recent back-to-back reboot and disable OC/UV without any interaction from the user.

it's not too hard to see it's a useful addition

Anybody getting any audio skipping issues the music keeps playing but the sound goes out but will come back right away. This only happens when the screen is off.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dzel:
been using the stock google kernel for the days, then i flashed the faux enhanced and noticed my roms init.d script owner changed from root/shell to root/root..

is this normal?should i just leave it that way?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
Thanks faux....I'm in the process of separating digital life from real life and needed my apps linked somewhere else
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bmbanker:
This'll happen when your lowest frequency is too low. Faux added in a 162 MHz step recently and audio will skip when your screen is off but idling at this frequency. Set it up to the old low frequency (384MHz) and it shouldn't skip anymore.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
yes, 162 maybe slightly too slow for smooth audio processing. I could add an "audio performance lock" similar to my Galaxy Nexus and/or Nexus 7 kernels.

Basically when audio is playing, minimum frequency is locked to a specific frequency and when audio stopped, then it goes back to lowest possible frequency....

maybe next version....
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tibere86:
I use the 162mhz slot as a min and have never had any issue with music skipping. I'm using interactive + mpdecision.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] faux123:
interactive a lot more responsive than my intellidemand (for obvious reasons ;) ). Maybe interactive governor is the answer to audio skipping. My kernel allows for so many different options, you can tailor it for your exact usage scenarios.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bmbanker:
How about yes? That sounds awesome. Perfect resolution to Pandora skipping on my car rides!

Also, a little OT: I saw a few pages back you said you lost your RD status... How? Just curious.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jassycliq:
Can you please make it user configurable? I stream music all day long without any skipping. I use ondemand with the up thresholds at 99 for all that apply. Your kernel runs cold as ice now.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
Just listened to music via bluetooth for about 40 minutes and didn't have any issues with audio skipping. I'm not streaming it though so that could be a factor. Using intellidemand , mpdecision off, eco mode, UV -75 so if you make changes Faux, please make them configurable :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
Currently using 162/1.2ghz and intellidemand, there's no audio skipping that I've noticed with the now playing music app.
