I've found it to be somewhat psychological, too. Only seeing updates that are in 10%-increments that are more accurate, verses random jumps with inaccurate 1%-intervals makes the battery *appear* to drain slower and thus last longer. At least, that's my personal experience.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RandomPooka:
Not to mention that if you're at a false 1% and your phone shuts down, you might actually have some 30-40% remaining.

I don't have anything against the 10% increments either. I wonder if there's a simple way to patch CM to revert back from the 1% readout, or if you've got to recompile it without the hack in the source code.

-- Edit --

Had I read back a few posts and thought about what I said before posting, I'd have remembered that Dtrail1 put it in the recent aroma installer. I'll have to download the JBX for Spyder and see if it does anything beyond changing the build.prop to disable 1% readouts. I can't believe I forgot that. BAD Pooka! No biscuit.

-- More Edit --

build.prop entry that needs to be changed to 0 to disable 1% hack (or that's the way it used to work)

ro.product.use_charge_counter=1
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RandomPooka:
Okay. I just made that change and rebooted on my Bionic. No difference. I still had 1% battery increments in the statusbar. I find this to be odd. Must be a bit more to it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
You use RAZR kernel on bionic?

Look, the 10%/1% indication of controlled by a static library which is part of the Ramdisk.img.this works independent from from any build.prop entry (on razr).

I think it should be the same for the bionic, but it might be another sysfs entry than on razr due to older cpcap firmware, if selecting this option in yesterday's build doesn't change it to 10% steps.

Bu the way, the switch works fine on razr.

I will include an option to revert this in the next build.

In this kernel there is NOTHING changed in battery driver because the patch from quarx needs to be reworked to make it work with our newer battery driver. And I was running out of time yesterday.

I'm using battery doctor app for 1% indication.

Keep in mind that using this option (10% steps) will not immediately fix your drops! It needs one more full charge cycle to settle again and in the case your battery already lost some of its capacity it will probably continue dropping.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] RandomPooka:
No, I haven't tried the last build yet. I was just referring to that charge counter entry. On the DroidX and I think maybe the early Bionic Gingerbread ROMs that would enable or disable the 1%
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Yes, it does. Reverting back to Moto's default 10% calculation should avoid these drops etc. - more or less - also depending on your battery's health.

Guys, want to know how much time I am spending for you? :D

See here: http://osrc.dfm.io/dtrail

Many thanks for the donations sent by East Coast Moving Service! This really was making me happy because after my move into another town (because of work) I ran totally out of money! Moving is very expensive, and getting into a new flat isn't cheap too. This ate my whole money ressources, so just THANK YOU! I really have use of everything I can get at this time.

The last thing was to pay my new Internet provider so I can continue development from home and relax with some movies, etc. But my server is finally gone now - as I explained some time ago, I cannot use it anymore. Building on my home machine now which is damn slow..But anyways, I can develop further, and that's the most important thing here ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ldeveraux:
Seems pretty speedy so far. Maybe a little lag in boat browser, but I was on 3G, so who knows what the issue. The battery did die very soon yesterday, but the setting said it was mostly screen :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] control187:
Cool. Thanks for testing it out first. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmmcglothin:
So far so good... I haven't had any issues yet. Giving the battery a full charge and see how she runs. Antutu bench came up with the usual score range. I'll report back later after more testing.

Thanx much D. for all your hard work. I always appreciate you ^^
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rhyrlix:
Lately my battery consumption is very high.

I was about 4 hours without touching the phone, and the battery went down 30%, it is certainly not normal.

When I started using it, I was just sending / receiving SMS, while the battery down quickly.

I realized that he warmed without any heavy lifting.

Settings:

CM11: 11/02

JBX: 11/02

Moto's 10% calculation enabled

The two old JBX tweaks that were added today enabled.

If I'm not mistaken, almost all the time, I was using sioplus + interactive

And what may be causing that sudden fall of 70% to 50%?

On 20%, the phone rebooted suddenly.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmaher1023:
Hey [MENTION=3247283]dtrail[/MENTION]! not sure what's different about the new kernels, but with older builds I used to have to flash the CDMA to GSM patch after flashing the kernel. I just flashed the 2/11 build without gsm patch and my 912 connected to Telekom.de on boot. Keep up the great work!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Reeplay95:
Try to change the governor type and valid. Sometimes my phone have the same issue. This manipulation resolve the problem for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Have you tried simply rebooting your phone? SOmetimes qwakelocks are hold and a reboot fixes it so the device can enter deep sleep again.

The drop can be cause by a lot of reasons. According to the 10% calc you might have to perform a full charge cycle first, to recalibrate the system. But it might also caused by your battery itself - maybe it lost capacity over the years - just like mine ?

ALso some governors might be bad for now. Best one is ktoonservative. ANd I tested all schedulers via benchmarks. VR is the most fast one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ldeveraux:
Having major heat from the phone during normal data use. I set the CPU core setting to 1 and I'm on 3.0.3 as of this AM. 10% battery mod is installed. Also having the battery drop like mad, though I haven't done a full charge cycle yet. Just my update for Dtrail
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Disable core setting. It's acrtually unecessary because it probes most tasks to CPU0 - but CPU1 always follows CPU0, so this setting might not hekp with battery life. In the kernel driver documentation is mentioned that some ARCH dep. power features can cause the device to heat up but giving more performance. I suggest to disable CORE option and you should be fine.

ANother important update: I ordered a new AC charger. A genuine Morto charger, and since I'm uisng it, after 2 cycles + using Moto 10% mod I have NO MORE drops at all!! :) It's really important to use genuine hardware in this case i Guess.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rhyrlix:
Ok, I will use the vr + ktoonservative today, tomorrow or at the end of the day I will relate my experience.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Reeplay95:
And the ZRAM Option? Is that performances are better with this option enable?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Do you know what zram actually is? I'll explain:

ZRAM swaps ~10% of RAM into an extra table and compresses it. This causes you will have 500mb additional RAM, but more than likely a virtual one. It can affect performance a little, but on the cost of CPU power. AT the end this will make your battery lasts less.

Also this option is not necessary/useful for devices with 1+ GB of RAM (we have 1GB). It makes sense to use it on older devices with <1GB RAM (i.e. 500mb).

But what's wrong with performance? If you need more speed, set your max CPU freq to 1200 or higher. You can use Live OC for MPU to get OC up to ~1500mhz.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] parser:
There is a lag problem with Viper4android, it happens when I listen to music and try to open another app. Batteryfriend disabled just to try if it helps but it doesn't. Max screen off is 1 GHz min freq. is 200 MHz. Don't know what the problem is, I think I have this problem since one of the last builds. [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] did u tried kernel with Viper4android?

Sorry if it's not enough info, I am working on my Hausarbeit and I can find time just to update kernel :))
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Try this:

- Enable IVA OC

- Disable DPLL CASCADING (/sys/kernel/dpll/dpll_active - open with text editor and change from "1" to "0", save and close)

EDIT:

FIRST Update to latest build if you didn't already!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ldeveraux:
I disabled the core setting, I'll report back when I can gain some data. I tossed a few shekels your way for all the work you've put into this!

That was a joke about the genuine MOTO cable right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] parser:
IVA oc ok but dpll failed to save after I change 1 to 0. Do I have to change smth before I try to change it?

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

Okay [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] I made it. IVA OC on, dpll 0, it lags lesser but still...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I remember that Viper mod has some more parts to install dependant on your system. You might want to check their thread and see if your issue is a known one.

I want to thank:

for supporting me this way! Really appreciate it and I really need it!! THXm guys! You're awesome!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Nope, it wasn't. I'm serious! Since I'm using this cable again my battery behaves much better! But this might be related to me using a few different chargers during the last months, after my genuine Moto chargeer was broken.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rhyrlix:
The picture speaks for itself. :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] parser:
Will do my friend, but FYI I disabled V4A lag continued. It disables itself also from time to time during listening to music. I am gonna try another 4.4 rom without jbx Then i can tell u if it's kernel related! Thanks for the responses [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION]
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
Hmm. My phone says 823MB of RAM. is that because of SafeStrap?

Either way, it's only using 560MB at the moment so plenty of headroom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] parser:
But there is also chashed Apps in the ram so it's actually fully used. There is most of the time only 10 mb ram free maybe less
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RandomPooka:
Isn't this where minfree tweaks can affect the amount of real free memory?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Even when ram is shown as full, at least the half of it is not actually used. It's mostly reserved for apps which are usually used often and this which were started once. Also when these apps are closed they still have its place reserved on the ram so android can load and execute then more fast when the user calls them. The lowmemkiller (which is a backport from 3.7 kernel) which sits in the kernel calculates what app is used very less abs kicks those out of the memory when another application needs its place. You can track this detailed when watching the dmesg.

So you cannot run out of memory.

Now let's say you use a task killer app. I want to explain with this example why these task killer apps are bad. It also kicks the app out of the "frontend", but it also kicks it out of the RAM. And it performs it with main used apps too, so android has to recreate the reserved part of memory inside the ram when the app is getting started again. And also the whole app has to be loaded again. Also there are many apps which after always running in background, so they will start again by themselves. All this causes a higher cpu load, and more activities in the RAM which leads to higher battery drain.

What du we learn from this?

Of course there are sometimes apps which need big parts of memory, in this case android will free enough of it - usually. But mostly android got its own ram management which is very good and that's why you SHOULD NOT USE TASK KILLERS! :D

When your phones shows you led memory is left, don't worry about it - it know how to handle it.

You can imagine this by thinking on a few people waiting before the entrance of a big event. They will be served one by one. Android is song the same with apps

But one thing is weird. Someone posted about having 825 MN of ram (or was it more?). In your system settings in phone info you should have 837mb.

Mine says 823 mb. Is there smth wrong with it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] soundgirl101:
:D:good: I noticed this as well,either 02/09 or 02/10 nightly, I also show 823mb for memory!! I haven't missed the 14 meg?? lol It was my understanding that ZRam created a compressed swap file in ram for quicker read/write times?? Enabling this could degrade overall performance on devices with mem over 512mb?? I've also had "Multicore Power Saving" set to "1", was wondering if this was needed with "Generic Hotplug" enabled?? VR for scheduler, Frequency Lock "on", Ktoonservative as governor, Battery Friend "on", this setup gives very good battery life, with fairly lag-free operation!! Thoughts and corrections, will be quickly learned!! :D:good:

Tolle Arbeit dtrail1
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Just saw that mine is also 823mb. Seems to be since any change in rom sources..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Reeplay95:
No, performances are great! Just want to understand this option :D. I can't overclock my device, it freezes at 1300 Mhz after 5 mn.

Thanks for the explain.:good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] soundgirl101:
:good::D On the 02/13 build, Multicore set to "0", Zram "off", device feels very smooth, notification bar/quick tiles are more responsive!! Have Gamma set to "6", Front Buffer Delay set to "75", not real sure what this directly affects, I use projectM visualizer for desktop wallpaper, visualization transitions "look" cleaner?? :laugh: More likely too much gamin' on GTA!! :D:good:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I'm going to push snother build with stargo's new modem "fix" for testing. The build will have date from tomorrow to avoid confusion.

In test folders there is build with my modified battery driver. BE CAREFUL! This one disables battd and calculates the percentage directly from kernel. But it needs more fixes, just for tersting. Who wants could test it with a full charge cycle.

EDIT: Battery test removed as I don#t know if this one could damage the device...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seandop:
[MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] are the RIL tweaks that you added in aroma useful/relevant to CDMA users?

[MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] I flashed 3.0.4 this morning and a couple hours later got the infamous signal drop (empty triangle) and "No Signal" message. Toggling Airplane didn't fix. Had to reboot.

I've been on the same ROM version for the last 3 days and haven't had this issue before until today. I think stargo's "fix" didn't fix. Either that or my phone is getting cranky from too much flashing ;)

Rolling back to 3.0.3 (2/11 build)

EDIT: just saw Stargo's post in the CM11 thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50302883&postcount=2680

I didn't realize the frozen a blacked out screen thing was related to the signal drop so it looks like I've been having it occasionally (just didn't realize it) :crying:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I was able to fix my old battery! It sounds weird, but it's true.

I tested my mod battery driver, and it totally messed my battery meter and stats. I couldn't even see any process during charge also when phone was turned off. It just stayed at 5%. I tried around and finally I deleted all battery related files in file system from kernel, let the battery drain until it went off and plugged charger shortly. Boot into ss, deleted all these file again, flashed back the normal battery driver, let it drain to 0 again, then kept it off and plugged charger.

The result was: I was able to charge workout any jump again! Usually it always jumped straight to 100% when it reached 80% on charging. But this time it was normal! Also backwards, now when using the phone, battery doesn't drop anymore. It really seems to got most of its old capacity back!

Really weird, but great! ;)

Well, ladies and gents, it's been an amazing 2 year ride with my xt912, but I will be getting a note 3 on Monday. Thanks [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] for all the hard work you've put into making our phones amazing, and feeding my crack flashing addiction! Good luck to you all!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
XT912 isn't for my network.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] RandomPooka:
They're doing this in their spare time, essentially for free. They're not likely to be taking orders, especially when you are asking them to go backwards and work on old releases instead of current software.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmaher1023:
Hey [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION], out of curiosity, what network are you on? I'm currently using T-Mo, but am switching to Voda with my new phones. So far, T-Mos coverage has been really good, I'm hoping (as the Voda rep told me) that their coverage is just as good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nikhJ:
Bro respect what the developers are doing here. They are developing our phones and doing it for free. Without them we would be miles behind. Don't order the developers to fix stuff. They do this in their free time. And yeah this also annoys the devs a lot.. so dont post this kinda stuff
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JStrem:
I don't see any orders here but rather a suggested idea with the word "Please". I don't know where the bandwagon children came up with "orders" but please don't turn an innocent idea into an ignorant hate crime in an out of context remark.

However, in forum retrospect, as everyone will agree, you're in the wrong place and wrong topic. Please learn to read the subject and stick to it.

My xt912 is still working nicely with JBX. After a week or so of allowing the kernel to settle, 4 hours have gone by this morning with non-stop usage and I've only lost 10%. Good stuff!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RandomPooka:
To clarify, I meant taking orders like at a restaurant and not like a commanding officer to his subordinates. "Please" isn't really relevant when you're asking someone to go work on something that is outside the current path of their development.

Not sure how I'm in the wrong forum, since this is the thread that all the omap4 kernel work stemmed from and I was responding to a comment about the kernel with a reply about the kernel. I appreciate your concern that I may be tainting your own personal thread, but you needn't worry. My comment was relevant to what's actually being worked on. It was meant to remind you of the direction dtrail1 has been working and to point out that even polite requests to backtrack to an abandoned branch of development are still not likely to be addressed first.

Also, it's been covered quite recently that hd recording is not strictly kernel related. The rom needs to be brought up to speed as well, which is most certainly not something that the jbx kernel can do. You might even say that it's off topic.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JStrem:
My apologies. I was referring to Furkons post being in the wrong.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RandomPooka:
Ha! Confusion abounds. Sorry if I came off like an ass.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Is this related to the signal loss issue that Stargo has been working on in the CM11 kernel? I guess you guys have been working together.

I've been on his latest test build for 24 hours now and no signal drop yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Ok guys, no need to split devices. The kernel is now named with an .._SPYDER tag - but it's for use with BOTH devices!

New update tonight - but no OPTA because I have to switch server for this. GRab it from CF or dev host.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I won't - because I'm not devin' CM. If they change CM10 for HD cam, I will update my kernel. But to clarify this: CM10.2 is NOT more fast and more stable than 4.4.2. I am using SlimKat build 3 and it's faster and more stable than ANY prior kexec rom ever was to me!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PINGXIANG840:
Before you start flaming Big Guy I checked for this specifically- I can't change the governor from Ktoonservative in Liquid 3.0. It makes the phone reboot. Any ideas?

[MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] - I've got a small problem with the newest build. No matter what I try to set for min off screen frequency (eg. 100 mHz or 200 mHz), it keeps reverting to 300 mHz. It's kinda ridiculous, cause the setting of max offscreen frequency (for me 200 mHz) sticks perfectly. So I end up in a higher minimal than maximum frequency value. It has nothing to do with battery friend - I've got it set to 200 mHz, but the problem occurs with Battery Friend enabled and disabled.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I changed the frequency handling a little with hard coded values. For me personally there is no problem with frequencies. You sure using trickster mod and confirm each change with pressing the hook in the right upper corner?

If so, try a reboot and if it doesn't help use the frequency lock.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dubisz:
Yes, I'm positive. I set a frequency with the frequency lock enabled (eg. 200 for min offscreen), press the hook and it comes back to 300 mHz...
