It's because of the voltages. The battery might still have, for example, 1000 mAh left, but if the voltage has dropped below a specific threshold below which the phone can't draw current anymore... it's useless, you know...

That's the most common issues you get with 3rd party batteries. Especially if it's a cheap Chinese copy one...

External batteries seem to be at full throttle right now. There even is one made by Samsung, rated at ~9000 mAh (although a bit expensive, compared to other, good or even better external batteries you can get for the same money). You're better off buying one of those.

Keep up the good work! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] davtse:
Thats not the issue here. I would understand if it were a cheap Chinese extended battery, but I've been using anker for quite some time now with good results on my i9300. And its not because of the voltages. The phone doesnt shutdown, it just reports a wrong battery percentage. A reboot fixes this but its inconvenient to have to keep rebooting to check battery level. External batteries lack the convenience of extended batteries. I guess this is something I'll have to live with if I want to keep using the extended battery.

Have you tried charging to 100%, then using a Battery Calibration app from Playstore? I know it sounds like something you must have done already,..

It's isn't necessary with stock battery's, but maybe it'll help you out with a non-stock battery..

Hi ktoonsez,

could you make your kernel compatible with the fouldermount app? The app developer received many requests, and in the end he made some quick steps for kernel developers to follow in order to follow the standard:

http://www.devasque.com/foldermount/kk-support.html

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ktoonsez:
Probably not since DanV told me it breaks everything else in the kernel for normal operations.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] timonoj:
Thanks for the reply. It's good to know, at least.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ktoonsez:
I just pinged him a bit ago to see what the issues were, but I remember him saying that he was gonna have to make 2 ROM releases just to make it work since it goobered up other stuff. Ill add it if no issues are going to occur.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] timonoj:
Hmmm, given that he has managed a rather stable ROM, I reckon he won't be very tempted to meddle into it unless there are big changes to the code. Plus, it's not a feature everyone else is asking for. But really, thanks a lot for following up with him.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] timonoj:
Really? Does it really mount the folders for you? As in, a folder is empty before mounting it on ES explorer, and after mounting it shows the contents of the same folder on the SD card? Which version do you have? I updated to the version after the one Danv said the issue was fixed, but clearly for me it isn't.

Also, did you do anything in particular to make it work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Danvdh:
it should mount everything but /obb at this time, it requires something from the stock ramdisk (meaning no alterations) from either samsung/google, I know this because my north american rom has it working 100% but I'm afraid we might reboot like mad on the international level if myself or kt swap the ramdisk to stock, the change is in there somewhere. I will look through the GIT tonight

with this being said, I'm sure you can understand this predicament for these reasons, myself or ktoonsez do not run an i9505 and reboots have never affected North american phones at all on the GPE official releases from Samsung, finally its working and there are ZERO random reboots being reported, why risk all that to make one app work on mounting /obb? this app pretty much emulates and hacks the system to do something that your not supposed to do.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] timonoj:
I Danvdh, sure I understand the reason, I just wrote exactly that in a previous post. I also understand I'm almost the only one that kind of needed this, so I'm pretty much SOL...fair is fair.

It's just this google policy of enforcing NOT to use the SD card for almost anything, that bothers me...well I bought an S4 because I wanted to use it. I have a 64GB card just because of that, but isntead I have to get stuck with barely 800MB of internal memory free as of now which is rather annoying. Ah well, or use touchwiz. I know it's not your fault, and debugging a device you don't own is even a bigger PITA.

Anyway, just wanted to thank both of you for your efforts. Keep the good work, guys!

hi

what is the best setting for the cpu Gouvernor battery?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
Use KT profiles and scripts .... ;) As setcpu and KTweaker may get into conflict

[MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] maybe for you another new feature for consideration: adding the possibility to predefine profile and script for easier exchange of both? as now we have to load both separately each time we want to exchange (which is good possibility to have, but finally most users are using predefined combinations.

example:

normal use: profile 1 + script 1
gaming: profile 2 + script 2
battery saving: profile 3 + script 1
etc ....

maybe it is not that simple as we can change profile on the run but script has to be introduced during boot ... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dr.wtf:
i just realized on call the cpu runs at max the whole time. is disabling screen off mhz call the only way to avoid this? and should it run at max at all?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
What is the max in your case.

If you have set it to a low frequency than it's very possible that during a call it's at that value all the time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dr.wtf:
1.89ghz. i'm pretty sure somethings wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Then something is wrong.

Is the CPU at a constant max during a call and on all CPU cores?

Try setting Ktweaker back to default setting and try again. If it still happens during a call it looks like a ROM issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Hey [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION]!

Your kernel doesn't seem to have the required modules to run this (I get "No driver found"). Could you, maybe, perhaps, please add the necessary drivers / modules into your awesome kernel? :D :D :D :D :D :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] yogg:
Yeah that's what I'm thinking on. Setting own profiles on specific apps. For example heavy games you could just setup a profile to load 2.1ghz on clock and full performance and its turned on whenever you launch the actual app itself. Then another for browser and light usage.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dr.wtf:
changed nothing. i found a wakelock caused by ProximitySensor (com.google.android.dialer.google dialer) during the whole call but i don't know if its responsible for the cpu to jump to max. could this still be a kernel issue?

I have a screen flicker issue in some apps.

It appears that me device can't decide between cpu and gpu for the graphics.

In developer settings I checked

Turn off hardware overlays.

This fixed it so it always uses the GPU.

However I was wondering if there is another setting I could use to fix this?

Perhaps something that helps it decide?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
No use at all. Different apps, different background processes, different service provider, different signal strength, different overal usage.

Using their settings will in no way guarantee you will have the same result. Not even get close.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
That's not cheating. I also use Greenify (for a lot of apps) but will still only have around 4 hours of screentime, max. All depends on what you do, are you using data, how is your signal strength, etc.

It would be

echo 2160 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

echo 918 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

Have a look around that directory if you want to modify other paremeters

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

I have been trying to get rid of music playback issues and found that setting min frequency high made no difference, I didn't want to change polling frequency and didn't want the battery usage of disable hotplug media. For anyone who has the same problem I found a solution by using a tasker profile that enables when media is playing :

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ktoonservativeq/lockout_2nd_core_hotplug

Works great and is a lot less battery hungry than disable hotplug media. Still works with no extra cores screen off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] yogg:
Thanks mooyaart

About the script there are 4 options Javascript, Javascriplet, Run shell, Run SL4A script. Which should I write the commands on?

And also only echo command in the CPU0 files?

There are 1,2,3 which I assume is the 3 other cores, should I echo those too? Or its just fine to apply script commands on CPU0 files?

I see what u want. The GPU governors scan at 50 milliseconds so the 5 equals 250 milliseconds which is a quarter of a second it will hold before lowering MHz. The 6000 is some number returned by the GPU that represents usage. If u lower it it will make it jump to a higher mhz quicker.

You don't really need to remove apps from the ram cache, they don't drain any battery and when you remove them then the next time you open apps they have to load again => more CPU usage. In linux systems any unused ram is wasted ram.

You are right. But removing apps from RAM (active in background, not cached ones.) makes sense, since active applications use battery.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
The point is that some of the apps in RAM are active, what means they use power, and drain battery. That doesn't have to be a lot, but again almost all kernel tweaks like underclocking, UV, do not bring a lot. So for people who try to squeeze every drop of power from the battery, it makes sense to remove apps from the RAM.

Ever heard of so famous Greenify app, which also removes apps from the RAM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rauschkugl:
It doesn't remove the apps from ram but hibernates the services they run. This has absolutely nothing to do with apps in the ram.

And you'll also not stop the service from running when you remove the app from the ram.

A Service is not stopped when you remove an app from ram. At least not the ones you're after when trying to save battery. And greenify doesn't remove anything from the ram. You can even see it when the app is still in the recents after you turn your screen on again.
