[/COLOR]Yup, I think that really has to do with CM10.1 and not with the kernel, that bad battery values are not on DM x 1.3 and CM10! I would suggest, install better battery stats and analyse the whole situation. When it say's that WiFi is guilty for power usage, Android is not completely right. I thought that it was more like this:

- When on WiFi, more (partial) wakelocks are allowed by many apps

- So when a wakelock appears on wifi, it counts battery usage on wifi

Actually those apps which wake the phone (partially) by using wakelocks are causing wifi usage. I am currently analysing battery stats so I can't tell you much about it. I used to have a drain less then 1% per hour with Pengus older 006 rom (31-12 kernel) and power safe module. Everything like sync on and a sim card installed. You probably should dig more into the power usage and watch what is happening on your phone. It's not kernel related, it really isn't!

Are you sure you didn't f*** your imei when you flashed a baseband? Just check it in phone settings and make sure it doesn't contain a lot of zeroes (or better, check if it's the same as listed on your phone, under the battery). In that case, unknown network state (instead of edge) could suck your battery, because a proper imei is needed to use the edge network. More info of this is already in the topic about wifi/data transition.

I'm was also encountering a quiet high battery usage on CM10, i'm now on DM x 1.3 to compare. I think a lot has to do with the RIL.
[LG Optimus 2x] pengus77:
Guys, for the thousand time, please ignore the % in the battery settings page. They're totally wrong and unrealistic.

On Android those values are based on an hardcoded xml file that, obvioulsy, LG ****ed up. I send you all to this thread (not for this phone, but the idea is the same) so you understand a bit better: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1535318

When you monitor the battery consumption do an overall evaluation and ignore those % values. Ask your rom cook to modify the power_profile.xml with real values, instead of the funky ones LG decided to feed us...

This is the power_profile.xml we're using on the P990 from CM10 tree...

I flashed the 011 kernel yesterday. Since Today i only get the grey WiFi symbol. If i disable and enable it again I get for short time the blue one. I'm on 20120106 CM10 unofficial. I have installed the WPA and DHCP packages yesterday, too. Whats's wrong? And what can I do?

Re: [KERNEL][CM10/CM10.1/ICS - OLD/NEW BL][011 - 2013/01/26] Kowalski Kernel

Grey is ok, its just not communicating with google apps. Do all your apps stay grey when you open gmail or is your auto sync disabled accidently?

You shouldnt worry about the color, it has nothing todo with the quality of your connection.

Hi

I am on cm10, and the great Kowalski kernel. Everything working great, no problems at all, very fast phone. Thanks pengus.

One thing though, when my phone is unused on the table, the screen flickers on 2 times, one second apart, appx. every half hour - why is that?
[LG Optimus 2x] orgler:
AW: [KERNEL][CM10/CM10.1/ICS - OLD/NEW BL][011 - 2013/01/26] Kowalski Kernel

Well I'm not sure but I don't think so. The initial connection is successful, I'm on wpa2 psk and with my second router I don't have problems...

I think the wpa disconnect is triggered by the wifi driver disconnect but I don't find information on this disconnect, the first logged evnt seems to be the wpa disconnect :(

Any other ideas?

Regards,

Orgler
[LG Optimus 2x] imayoda81:
now i get amazing battery time... thanks penguins !!! :D

disabling google plus positioning and the new wifi power thing did the job..

only problem is that power db is reset to 19 everytime wifi goes to sleep, though 19db is waaaaay better battery friend than 32db :P

[LG Optimus 2x] pengus77:
PSP enabled from the Manager app ? If yes, that will take effect only when the phone is asleep, but if your router doesn't like it then yes, it could be the cause of your missing notifications. Disable it in the app and see if it works better :)

About the bug I reported earlier of the phone freezing when trying to shut down, I have made a logcat for it just before it fully shuts down. If there is anything else I can do to help, please say.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kyrandialegend:
You cannot notice anything because Tx Power variable is for power of transmission of the antenna from p990 to Access Point. The signal strengh you see in the phone is given by the trasmission power of the router !

Mainly, unless you use the phone as an AP, the traffic is in downlink from router to phone, and the traffic from phone to router is minimal (ACK of TCP protocol and other)

no, WiFi signal strength

[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
I'm pretty sure I'm the only one but things got worse for me :( Since this last kernel (yesterday) I noticed s system-wide slow down. I didn't install any new app or changed any setting, just updated.

Basically switching through apps is extremely slow, if before it took less than 1 second to multitask now it takes even 3 seconds, when I open apps the phone hangs, when I surf with Opera Mobile and go back to the home it takes while. I find it very strange because those apps still remain cached and I have a fair amount of free RAM when this happens (80MB usually). Maybe the system is swapping to the EMMC more? (I have swap enabled) I was using dyinterative before but even setting interactive doesn't solve the issue.

I basically noticed this because it never happened before since pengus released his modified rom and first kernels.
[LG Optimus 2x] derEremit:
Re: [KERNEL][CM10/CM10.1/ICS - OLD/NEW BL][011 - 2013/01/26] Kowalski Kernel

Experienced the same. Phone barely usable.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Oh really?

Pengus did you make any change for memory management or for something that could affect swapping?
[LG Optimus 2x] tr@p:
Pengus, sometimes when my phone boots I get this weird message... Low Storage Space

And there's enough free space on every single storage (system/data/int.SD/ext.SD). Do you know maybe what is it about? I get this message occasional (always after phone booted) for some time now.

Did anyone else get this message?
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
I get it too at every boot, from what I've got it must be some app that requires storage but the internal SD Card is not yet mounted (in fact sometimes I have to mount it manually for some reason). I'm not sure but the external SD seems to be scanned before the Internal one and until that happens that message will not disappear.

Not here. Device is running just fine, quite responsive actually. No slowdowns at all.
[LG Optimus 2x] pengus77:
Ok guys, fixed for good the persistency of wifi parameters when you disable/enable wifi. Also, removed the dependancy on iwconfig and moved the dbm setting straight into the kernel, exposed via a sysfs parameter. Planted the seed for auto txpower as promised, all the timers and setup is in place, now to the algorithm. Reverted some lmk tweaks that most probably are the cause of the slowdowns felt by some of you. A new kernel is coming... tomorrow i think if the test rounds are positive :)
[LG Optimus 2x] sgspluss:
Very good news :good:

But what about ICS user and display brightness any chance to fix it? (without auto mode)
[LG Optimus 2x] pengus77:
First i need to have a really rock solid kernel. I can't look here and there and lose focus on the real thing. And btw i don't know if i'll keep supporting ICS for a lot longer... there are a couple of things that could break CM if i fix them for ICS and the opposite too (brightness is one of them), so this will require a lot of time in debugging and code reading which i don't really have. If a real cool dev/tester wants to contact me to help out on the ICS stuff i'll be more that glad to fix them, but i don't even have ICS installed and, let's be honest, it's a 4.0.4 release and most of the users are on 4.1.2 or 4.2.1...

Re: [KERNEL][CM10/CM10.1/ICS - OLD/NEW BL][011 - 2013/01/26] Kowalski Kernel

You're my hero.

Anyway since last kernel I found my phone rebooted (at PIN prompt ) twice today... anyone experienced that? Last activity in both cases was just whatsapp chat or homescreen or anyway just left to go to sleep by itself due inactivity.

Sorry I don't have logs, for now just asking if it happened to somebody else.

I'll push an update tomorrow that will stop that. Sorry, i introduced a bug without noticing and we didn't catch it during the testing phase. I reverted that commit and we're testing now.

Are kernel wakelocks kernel related or rom related? I don't know if those activities are triggered by the kernel or by RIL / radio apart from the kernel. I was experiencing high battery usage on CM10 so I decided to go back to ICS and installed DM x 1.3 with your latest kernel. It is really fast! But drain especially comes from 3g.

I'm on pengus CM10 with kernel 011. Swap enabled, zram and ksm disabled. dhcp and wpa patch also installed. PSP mode enabled.

Last time I used it, battery had 32% left. About an hour later I tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't react and was quite warm. I plugged it into the charger, but still nothing happened, so I had to pull battery.

Log of battery widget monitor stopped at 3697mV and 26° about an hour ago. After booting phone had 0% and was showing 3446mV and 34°.

Unfortunately after a crash/power_off the last_kmsg is useless. It gets reset after after a power down because it's kept in ram. It's only useful when you get a reboot.

[LG Optimus 2x] pengus77:
It enables/disables Fast PSP when the phone is awake :)

Basically is the same as the "std" module in previous kernels. When it's disabled it will put your wifi in CAM mode, so it will consume way more, but in case you're using an AP that doesn't support PS at all at least you have the option.

To make the setting stick, for now, you'll have to turn off/on the screen. No biggie, but it's right to say it :)
