Suggestions for the planned turbo mode / governor

Hi Blechd0se,

I have one suggestion for the planned turbo mode:

One or two weeks ago you wrote (while you've been adjusting the interactive governor to its current state) that one frequency is rarely used (I think you must have spoken of the 3rd frequency, i.e. 800 or 900 MHz), so that actually three frequencies would be enough.

That said: How about just staying at 4 different frequencies instead of changing it to 5? :cyclops:

The advantage is that you don't have to change the kernel in the way it is programmed now, you just have to change (or write a new) "interactive" governor (or probably call it "turbo" governor then).

This governor would then mainly use the first 3 frequencies (which the user can set to e.g. 300, 600 and 1000 MHz) and would use the 4th frequency in turbo mode (which then can be set to e.g. 1200 MHz).

All Defy users could then set the 4 frequencies as usual e.g. with SetVSel to their personal taste (and also could set the 4th frequency to just 1150 MHz if they fear that the device gets too hot and such) or could decide not to use the turbo mode by setting the governor to interactive, boosted or whatever.

Just my 2 cents... :)

Server down

Quarx server is down, any mirror for the reuploaded today's build?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Was it ever reuploaded in the first place? With Quarx's web server down, we have no way to know.
[Defy Android Development] Husi10:
I think Quarx disable his FTP to avoid us download and flash the last build which isn't compiled properly. Until he compiles and uploads the new one.

hi guys just two words on the data connectivity bug.. I'm still on rock solid 15/april build which is just wonderful for me.. (only problem was the no sound during calls but after many days of uptime it seems disappeared) and it seems to me i don't have data drops at all while i stay on 3g (checked for many days, only at night i stay in airplane mode) and instead i experience data drops if i switch to 2g.. if i switch to 2g very soon i see the data icon disappearing sometimes..

but 3g stability is great here it seems! (I'm in italy and i repeat i tested connection for many days, using default baseband).

it is a pity as i would prefer to always stay in 2g and switch to 3g only in case of need..to save battery.. but i can leave with that..

is that the same for you? data drops only while in 2g mode?

What about the Battery drain? I saw in GitHub you tried to fix something but reverted it.
[Defy Android Development] biernus:
I am on the new one. First impression = very very fast and response. Huh seriously wow. Qestion is what about battery... We see tomorrow morning after standart (deep sleep) night :)

memory is ok? stress cpu? some reboot?

first I return on 16-05-2013.
[Defy Android Development] vic160890:
You could leave it on the table for 10 minutes, let it try to get in to deep sleep state, then go to android terminal and type "su" and then "dmesg" and try to find out if it reaches the deep sleep state. Because on 22nd May version it did not. it would suspend everything, and then finish with an error saying that it could not get into desired state. and wake up again, then try to suspend again and so on.

Please tell us this information :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Installed the updated build. Started fiddling with Chrome, ended up in hard reset this time after it froze. The performance is excellent, but it is no longer stable. A pity, I must downgrade again to the last stable build, the one before the Aerokernel since I need battery to last, and a stable cell phone.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

Some other observations: every time I had these freezes or problems I was using a HWA enabled app. Could the problem be the updated PVR driver? The first problems I had was in the 16/05 build with the ADW Launcher EX and they were proven to be HWA related. When I disabled HWA I had no more problems with that app.

Just my thoughts.
[Defy Android Development] Gianluca85:
I have try new update. the problem memory is fixed. i trynew opera browser and plau 15 minutes whit pes2012- fast all ok. For battery post tomorrow.

thanks
[Defy Android Development] nostupidthing:
last (22th) build causes serious lagging at times, reverted to previous (16th?), which also has problem from time to time with ADW, restarting it solves the problem.

btw, do i have to reload the cpu settings default in recovery since I suppose the parameters were changed by bledshoe?

thx.
[Defy Android Development] Gianluca85:
read latest post, quarx post link for latest build 23-05-2013 fixed problem
[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
23rd fixed build seems snappy and stable for me (flashed over 22nd build).still to see about battery, but so far so good, no freezes or reboots
[Defy Android Development] biernus:
Ok few unexpected reboots... When shutdown the wifi bt clik ikon on top bar :(

::. Tapniete
[Defy Android Development] ennarr:
confirmed, I have the same issue and it reboots when i try to turn it off from settings too.
[Defy Android Development] Husi10:
The last nightly seem nice but I get soft reboot every time I want to switch into airplane mode.

It's not a big issue, great nightly.
[Defy Android Development] kryzeK:
I have a problem with the latest build, called the sync and hung up the phone rebooted, tried turning off again and also restarted and now is only in "Android is being updated ...''
[Defy Android Development] HammDefy:
Same with my Defy: Reboots when i turn off Wifi on Top Bar. After installing latest Build, TWRP-recovery is also buggy and reboots....
[Defy Android Development] kryzeK:
I have reboots with WiFi too! :/
[Defy Android Development] serpent_rider:
I am on 23rd nightly. Flashed over 22nd. For me no issues with Wi-Fi and syncing. Both are working flawlessly.

Battery drain is very less.

Phone is snappy and responsive. No soft reboots here. :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Same here. I left it on and charging overnight, but when I tried to turn off the WiFi, instant hard reboot. Combined with the fact that I managed to freeze the device by using Chrome last night, this build is marked as a little better than the 22/05 one, but still unstable and unreliable. Back to 11/05 for me.
[Defy Android Development] okij:
I also have less battery drain then with 05-16 and 05-22, but not very less:

With 05-23 it now is about 32 mA/h at night (with WiFi and 3G on), with 05-16 and 05-22 it was about 39 mA/h.

With older versions (i.e. CM10.1 from 04-15 and before that CM10), I had less than 25 mA/h at night with the same settings (from what I recall, unfortunately my Battery Monitor Widget records don't go back that much).

So, from my point of view, the current version got better, but still something is drawing on the battery in sleep mode. :confused:

Besides this, the new version so far is snappy and stable for me, I just also have the reboot-bug when turning WiFi off (which I usually keep on all the time, so no problem for me here).

Thanks for the fast bug-fixing and good luck with hunting the rest of those battery-drainers! :)
[Defy Android Development] darkvier:
with lastest build: air plane mode, wifi off -> reboot
[Defy Android Development] mrcurly:
I had the same problem for the 06/22 build, so i disabled HWA in all apps except for android ui, nova launcher, chrome and some games (temple run 2, fruit ninja). Battery life after a day seems to be slightly better, and i also under-clocked it abit. In deep sleep it was around 1.5% to 2% drain per hour.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I read a report in the CM10 thread that the WiFi on/off works after a factory reset. Anyone tried in CM10.1? I don't have the time currently.
[Defy Android Development] mikrom.cz:
Yesterday I tried to download big file (by solid explorer from Dropbox) downloading speed fall down, then wifi icon disappear and reboot. So there is really something bad. But deep sleep looks working here nice.
[Defy Android Development] Alex.D76:
This morning I had the same behavior with soft reboot when toggling off wifi. I run Llama and it toggling wifi automaticly when I left my home-area. After I made another cache/dalvik wipe the toggle behaves normal. I don't know why but now it's working again... strange....

So I suggest in the first step to wipe cache/dalvik again before making a factory reset...
[Defy Android Development] UncleDan:
I am having major 2G/3G data issues with 1605 and 2205. Am I the only one. Any suggestion? Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] dreckbox:
Same Problem here. The mobile data connection takes long time to get connected. Sometimes it looses contact too during surfing. Since last built (23/05/13) the Phone is rebooting/turning off when wifi is toggeld on/off. Since the last built also some gapps are forced to close. Example: Playstore crashes when try to download/update apps.

This while my phone is not ready for dayli usage. I´m switching back to nearly stable rom 15.04.13.

My phone: Defy MB525 green lense
[Defy Android Development] HammDefy:
After buggy 10.1 i try actually 10.0. :

10.1 (23.05.) WiFi reboots + reboots within TWRP-Recovery

10.0 (22.05.) Wifi stable - no reboots
[Defy Android Development] xinrag:
Hi!

Wow - same here. First I shut wifi down, then reboot into recovery and give it a try with another wipe of cache and dalvik cache. First on/off of wifi with no reboot... .oO(what's going on here).

Thank you Alex sharing this info!
[Defy Android Development] okij:
I too tried wiping cache+dalvik again and don't have reboots when toggeling WiFi anymore.

BUT: This might just be because at the moment there's no WiFi network nearby that I could connect to!? :confused:

So please could anyone who's logged in a WiFi network check this additional wiping too?

[MENTION=4495122]xinrag[/MENTION]: I just read your post. So turning off and on WiFi now works for you while you´re connected to a WiFi network?
[Defy Android Development] rusek666:
After whipes it's still the same. Toggle On/Off causes reboot.
[Defy Android Development] okij:
2G/3G mobile data connection unstable

From my experiences I too have to confirm that the 2G/3G mobile data connection became unstable with the releases after 04-15. :(

When moving (i.e. driving in a car) the connection now gets easier lost than with the earlier builds and then it takes up to about two minutes to get a mobile data connection again. During this time, the "H" symbol next to the mobile strenght symbol (which shows quite a good strenght!) goes on and off a couple of times (the "H" symbol always just blinking up for a second or so), until finally the data connection is up and running again.

So there must have been a change in the code which now still is buggy. A fix would be very much appreciated! :)

About the Playstore crashing when downloading or updating apps: This is a known issue and can easily be fixed by flashing JB 4.2 gapps again (at least for me it worked well the two occasions that I had this problem!)
[Defy Android Development] mrcurly:
Agree, i use 2g and notice the E sign blinking and taking upto a min to connect, which is longer than before, and sometimes it just doesn't connect until i put it in airplane mode and then off airplane mode.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
The data connection bug is something that I had from the first build of CM10.1. Others have it too, and it happens in both 2G and 3G, the type of the network plays no part. There is problem with the compatibility of our RIL and the Android framework most likely, something that changed between CM10 and CM10.1. It's on Quarx's to-do list on the first page of this thread for a while now.
[Defy Android Development] xinrag:
At the moment I just can test this with an open wlan (802.11g) network which needs a browser based authentication afterwards. There I had no reboots.

Later this day I could test with another wlan (2.4ghz 802.11n) with wpa2.
[Defy Android Development] triovi:
Same problem here. I made test with wireless on, off, with dalvik and cache wipe and still rebooting. And unfortunately after some reboots, it freeze at start and only an factory reset bring it to life.
[Defy Android Development] Gianluca85:
same wifi problem. w

hen turn off wifi the phone reboot. on 16- no problem

but great nightly...

for my daily use is perfect.
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
+1 on the wifi toggling issue (should we post some logs? :confused: )

Other than that, though, seems pretty good :) It's smooth and sexy and battery drain during my sleep was around 1,5%/h with wifi on - not the best, but much better than in the previous 2 builds :cowboy:

*edit* Battery drain gone up to 3,8%/h during the day, even though I barely sent a couple of sms :S Maybe it needs a bit longer to "settle"...
[Defy Android Development] dreckbox:
Update: After a new Wifi-caused reboot the phone starts like it was fullwiped (type in name, gmail adress etc.) Thankfully i made a backup from a older nightly on witch i will stay the next few nightlys until there is a new stable one. 23.05.2013 is to buggy for me.

Despite this problems i applaud to the work of the devs. Thanks to all devs which are involved on the defy cm 10.1!:good:
[Defy Android Development] biernus:
I'm after few -hard_workday- hours on new 23's build and:

- drain is little less ten earlier ver (i dont have formal statistic) 22% till morning (a lot short calls, some sms etc)

- of course huge problem with wifi restart ;/

- still i have sometimes little problem with "wake up incoming call" and "end call" screen is black.. response with a lag

In addition to these problems build is very very very smooth, fast and responsive! (this is my point of view)

ps. [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION]: for me and i think a lots of US very important is to good work and start/stop wifi. Please... try to resolve this problem (if you need some log - write to US)

Update to the current WiFi bug - turning on WiFi tethering also leads to a reboot

Now that I'm logged in to my home WiFi network, I can myself give an answer to the question I asked this morning:

Being logged in to my WiFi network, unfortunately I get reboots again as soon as I try to disable WiFi on my Defy+, running the 05-23th nightly. So wiping cache + dalvik sadly does not cure this bug! :rolleyes:

There's one problem connected to this bug, which is even more severe: Turning WiFi tethering on also immediately leads to a reboot! I guess it's because the system first has to disable WiFi reception before being able to start WiFi transmitting - leading to a reboot because of the bug in the current nightly. :silly:

That said, even keeping WiFi on all the time (which I usually do) can not be used as a workaround for this bug, if one wants to use WiFi tethering from time to time (which I sometimes do).

So I really hope that Quarx is able to fix this bug for the next release... :fingers-crossed:
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
Ok, I now have some pretty ****ty behavior.

On the latest nightly, After I turned on wifi, the phone rebooted. I tried it again and it kept hanging at boot afterwards.

Flashed the previous nightly with no avail.

So I installed it clean. Booted normally. Then the wifi got stuck in 'connecting...'. A reboot normally fixes this. Now i'm back at a hanging boot!

I'm now going to try a new clean build...

And now the weirdest part. When it's stuck at boot, I'm experiencing the 'blocking' problem... O.o

Just checking of anybody else had this behavior.
[Defy Android Development] Bleak3993:
I had the same problem after using the latest build, so I did a clean install of the 05/11 build, flashing a sbf and the usual (wiping data/cache on stock recovery obviously), but after the rom booted, and installing a few apps, I rebooted the phone and I got stuck (again) in the bootanimation showing the red led all the time, I tried wiping everything and reinstalling, but is still stuck on the boot... I'm gonna try again and report it later.

Ah, other thing, I don't know how, but suddenly I got deleted the half of all my SD files on this process, including backups, all my apk, emulator rom and saves (f**k me), music, and etc... I don't think I did a "wipe SD" on the recovery, because there is still like 4 gb of files on it.
[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
Got 3%/h battery drain in deep sleep last night, with Wi-Fi on(default Wi-Fi sleep time). Not as high as last two builds, but still high. At least the build is performing well, I'm back to using chrome over stock browser, which was impossible in later builds due to huge lags, even when overclocking. Today, with undervolted default clocks I got only one random reboot and one reboot caused by turning Wi-Fi off
[Defy Android Development] Husi10:
I had that kind of issues too, Bootloop with no reason even after clean install. I think TWRP could be the cause. I never suffer of that kind of problems with CWM.

It's the reason why I'm back on MS2Ginger (pretty radical).
[Defy Android Development] okij:
It might well be that your data partition got corrupt and isn't properly formatted to EX4 anymore, which leads to the boot process getting stuck at the red LED.

Formatting the data partition to EX4 in the bootmenu and installing CM10.1 again (or restoring a backup) should solve this issue. :)
[Defy Android Development] Nchls:
My phone now is stuck at M logo, i think its 'bricked', because TWRP decided to screw with me when i flash the latest build and it suddenly rebooted. Battery was 100% and plugged into charger while flashing. Now when i tried to flash SBF, RSD won't detect my phone. Installed latest drivers and in bootloader menu, but still nothing. Glad if anyone can help. Thanks.

Windows 8 x64
[Defy Android Development] Bleak3993:
Try wiping data/cache from stock recovery, and check if you have the motorola drivers installed (the ones that comes with the RSD rar from the cm7 FAQ)
[Defy Android Development] kryzeK:
[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] or someone has managed to fix the bug turn off wifi? This is a very bad for me... And my battery with wifi off're lasting too little
[Defy Android Development] Nchls:
thanks dude, but now the problem is low battery. haha. XD can't program in bootloader. trying yo charge my phone now with usb connected to my laptop, hope it is able to charge, cause the white LED light up when i charge it via laptop. lol
[Defy Android Development] frozenwaverider:
Try the MacGyver method if this doesn't work ;)
[Defy Android Development] Prowler:
TWRP sucks.. Yesterday in updating process my phone just power off and... stuck in bootlogo..

Now after flash sbf and all that history i have my phone working again.

a tip: never install this roms without PC at hand.

Cheers.
[Defy Android Development] Nchls:
Yeah I did. Too lazy to wait for it to charge. Phone revived! I'm back in the game of CM10.1 ! And yeah, I'm scared of TWRP now, cause you wouldn't know when it might 'poof', reboot while you are flashing. Haha
[Defy Android Development] okij:
It's always a good idea to make a backup of your running system before flashing something new. :)

TWRP is much faster in making and in restoring a backup than CWM was. Because of this (and because of the neat GUI) I really started to like TWRP! :D
[Defy Android Development] biernus:
Grrrr... yesterday evening i try to power off wifi, defy reboot, it say... optimalization of apps 1 from 150... then stuck on a info like: android is being updated..initializing applications.

- i make dalvik/cache

- try to change build on 11/05

- also dalvik/cache

problem is the same... its stock on this info.

What i should do? (i have titanium backup on my SD).

I make from TWRP - back to default wipeing everything with system partition... now my defy+ stock on M logo. It's a mess now ;/
[Defy Android Development] atulclassic:
wipe from stock recovery
[Defy Android Development] biernus:
Now i did it. Full wipe on stock recovery... unfortunatelly defy+ still stuck on M logo.

I think i must do all procedure from start i mean install by RSD SBF files, then root, CWM... then install Quarx build ?(i have BL7)

update: ok i make everything from start (old android, root BL7, 2nd, cm, gapps) its works

I install 0516.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] do you have any idea what causes the reboot with WiFi bug? I know you are still fighting with the battery drain bug, it's the USB driver as I see on your GitHub.
[Defy Android Development] Jinx Lumos Joke:
WiFi switching on and off is working for me on 0516 version, without gapps installed. Maybe the gapps is the source of the problem?
[Defy Android Development] woodman:
I'm not sure but I think this "wifi reboot" issue doesn't occur on 0516 and previous builds.

Sent from my Defy MB525 green lens
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
That's correct, the bug appeared only in the 23/05 build.
[Defy Android Development] Jinx Lumos Joke:
I thought I found something interesting...

So, 0516 has the best performance, and usability until now? Or does it have any bugs? (I mean major problems, not just the minor bugs...)
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Yeah, I fell for TWRP, too. Now I love it very much :) Even though it did reboot on me out of the blue once or twice, too... Now I always leave it for a minute to see if it will reboot and then start doing whatever I wanted ;)

P.S. There's an option to disable screen timout in Settings - Display if you guys haven't found it already... Not many would prefer their screen's to turn off while flashing is in progress, probably :)

Well, it does have the best performance, but the usability is not the best because of the battery drain in deep sleep... But it's a consistent drain (it doesn't vary, it's always the same) and you'll probably get used to it and forget it because of the awesome performance :laugh:
[Defy Android Development] HammDefy:
Biggest Bug is Bluetooth Headset...
[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
Have to agree, the current build (fixed 20130523) is the best build in a long time, even with higher than ideal battery drain, rare random reboots (only got 1 so far) and the reboot when wifi is turned off bug

I also loved twrp when I first tried it sometime last year when I was using MIUI, but got discouraged once the newer versions stopped being ported to the defy (and a got a bit too lazy to flash it every time I installed a new build). My only concern is that when you want to wipe cache and/or dalvik cache, the default option is a factory reset :eek:
