Yo guys, anyone here encountered "sleep of death" bug with few latest nightys? Device wont wake up after pressing power button, only capacitive buttons fire up and it stays that way. I need to wait for few seconds to fire up again. Happened just 3-4x times by now. It happens with stock kernel on stock speeds, min speed of 200 MHz, ondemand and row, however its not present with latest Guru kernel http://xdaforums.com/nexus-s/development/kernel-guru-t2783561 with smartassv2 and row. Any thoughts?
[Nexus S General] Ahkah:
M7 extremely unstable (kernel panic?)

In fact I do not know the name of the symptom, I can only describe it. The device cannot be unlocked, the screen remains dark, the device does not react, and in fact it seems to perform a silent reboot. Yesterday the device rebooted twice or even three times. Once I noticed the "cyanogen" logo appearing, so I am totally sure it was a true reboot. That might result from a kernel panic, and I would try to send a send a log file, if I knew where the log file is located and whom to send to.

By the way: I updated automatically from M4 to M7, and I did not change the kernel or similar. M4 was, compared to M7, very stable. M7 is a catastrophe and I can only warn to use it.

PS: I found some crash information files in "/data/tombstones". The first ones mention a process "/system/bin/mediaserver", all others mention "Visualizer <<< com.android.systemui <<<". The latter sounds more relevant, maybe this process is causing the reboots and misbehaviour.

has anyone noticed with the ~10 latest nigthlies a bug on phone calls? when i am speaking with someone and somebody else calls me the phone "auto-drops" my current call and then it offers me just to answer to the new call! it should just offer me to put on hold or drop the current call or even reject the new one! but certainly NOT auto-drop my current one!

i use original cm kernel and have been dirty flashing (wipe cache-dalvik) for 2 months now without any problem like this! i have also updated to the new gapps with the first 4.4.3 build that i flashed!

In the latest CWM versions downloaded by the "update cm recovery" option, in the "mounts and storage" section, I can't find the "mount /storage/sdcard0" choice, there's only "mount /sdcard" and it doesn't work.

In the 6.0.4.3 version there's the "mount /storage/sdcard0" choice and it does work.
[Nexus S General] schrickz:
never noticed it since I rarely mount from recovery ..

before 4.4.3, I used Phil's touch & the mount option not working too ..

Yesterday's nightly is draining my battery, anyone with the same problem?
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Same here 0701 nightly seriously draining battery and it seems its Google Play Services or something related.

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

Lost almost 70% of battery through night, phone was in aeroplane mode all night. In normal case it only looses around 1-2% of bat through night. Updating now to a newer nightly so will report, but it seems im going back to some earlier.

Edit: Battery drain still present, going back to 0628.

[Nexus S General] alex71184:
a major bug?
[Nexus S General] Naetmul:
About app storage

Anyone knows how to re-partition the Nexus S easily?

As the average size of apps in Android grows, (Google Search takes more than 1/20 of my phone's App storage)

1GB of app space is really not enough.

My Nexus S has 8 GB of space unused in /sdcard,

but like 100MB of space left in /data, which will make an error whenever I install another app from Play Store.

I know that I can create symlinks for some apps, but that's not enough.

I don't know whether Nexus S will get CM 12.

If it gets, then it will use ART instead of Dalvik since Android L abandoned dalvik.

This will result in a total disaster due to the size of the .dex files (which are created in /data/dalvik-cache in CM11 ART).

That directory was like 500MB in CM11 ART, which almost halved the size of App space we can use compared with Dalvik.

In CM11 ART mode,

the .dex files in /data/dalvik-cache were largely due to the apps in /system directory,

I can't move them into /sdcard and create symlinks for them since the apps are from /system. - if Android tries to access the apps before the sdcard is mounted, it will make numerous error messages every time the Nexus S gets booted. It can be also unmounted when connected to PC unless MTP is used.

Anyway, even if I can, it will need some work on manual.

If we don't have a solution for this, we won't be able to use CM12 practically even if it comes out.
[Nexus S General] dc2222:
Had the same problem, so decided to "clear data" for all the "included packages" and Google Play Services itself, and then restart. Seems to have fix the draining.
[Nexus S General] Sumanji:
I would like to know this as well actually... why even bother with the fake "SD card". Can't we just have one single 16GB partition as with other phones?

Cool thanks man, will give this a try!
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
Do you think that KSM (Kernel SamePage Merging) has an important impact on battery life?
[Nexus S General] mypat:
together with %18 zram yes also for performance i always make zram=0 KSM disable and min cpu freq=200mhz. 100Mhz and 200 consumes same voltage. etc.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
In the next Guru "kernel" version I could enable KSM Deferred Timers: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/74e8e0c30f342b9e2452d622b604caa5f14cf3d8

The new CyanogenMod 11 M8 kernel will include this patch, but it looks like it's disabled by default.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
With KSM and zram at default I'm getting "sleep of death" bug, 200 MHz min is also default value. Could that be related with zram and device not powering up sometimes?
[Nexus S General] mypat:
i'm intrested in could you close capacitive keys completly so we start use nav keys. i remember something like this "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 or 1 true or false" for build.prop
[Nexus S General] mypat:
probably :) there is 2 different way to zram i guess one is kitkat another what cyanogen or klusark gives us.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Yes remember something like that on some other ROM, but that leaves you without notification cos we dont have any on our old crespo, but its good way of thinking :D also that will cut a small piece of screen as well, right?

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Will try play with it and post back the results.
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I keep zram at 10% with only 20% swappiness and set ksm to 256 / 1500...
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Hmm will try that one too, find some best to use scenario, cos now this bug occurring on both stock CM and Guru kernel.
[Nexus S General] mypat:
with the expanded desktop that cut not important for me.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
You mean with the immersive mode, well lets wait for new Guru kernel and maybe [MENTION=3263349]ekerazha[/MENTION] implement that patch too :)
[Nexus S General] mypat:
yes :) also it could possible might be to use keys just like led and nothing for your notification or our :)
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Haha lets hope that is doable :) also with zram=0 and KSM disabled now device fires up more responsive, maybe it gets even more on some battery life ...
[Nexus S General] mypat:
as i said :) more performance.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Just had that draining crap again, device not firing up only capative buttons. Let it stayed that way to see how much time will it take before i pull out battery. Seems it took over 10 min and drain the battery pretty much. Lets blame SystemUI and Lockscreen. Default CM kernel, ONDEMAND, ROW at default speeds, zram=0 and KSM disabled, allow purging of assets checked. This is getting very annoying! :mad:

Why use DEADLINE over ROW?
[Nexus S General] spookyneo:
Do we have any update regarding the Google Play Services draining the battery ? I know some users reported it in this topic, but I don't think it is only for crespo. My battery is draining twice as fast. At the end of the day, I usually have around 45% left, but now it won't even last a full day. According to the battery stats, it is caused by the Google Play Services. My location is now completely OFF and it didn't change anything really.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
I have the same issue, I tried to clean the Google Play Services cache and data but I still have the issue.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Happened to me too, but after the 0707 nightly its gone. I did dirty flash (cache and dalvik wiped) and clean the Google Play Servies cache, also turned of only location reporting in Google settings, not the location itself, and make it like Battery Saving. Now it seems ok.

I have also switched to Guru kernel using smartassv2 and row, making high sleep on/off times with the cpu thus hopefully killing that SistemUI/Lockscreen sleep of death bug, its perfectly fine by now, first time after long period from superb working May nightlys.

Hope new commits and bugfixes coming in next nighty wont destroy all that :D

[Nexus S General] mypat:
if you are using ART change it.

ROW makes the problem, this is the reason.
[Nexus S General] Jhyrachy:
i was on dalvik.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
How so, care to explain? If you refer to firing up the device, I had same problem with both DEADLINE and ROW schedulers, is why I switched to Guru kernel so I can use SmartAssV2 governor as it makes better for powering up the CPU from sleep and more over its better with battery. However I'm open for suggestions :D

Also, DEADLINE is like a relic among schedulers and you can see that all over tests various people made public on internet. ROW is more suitable for flash devices like mobile phones and SSDs cos of its Read Over Write tricks and makes the system more responsive.

Im not sure CM devs made some new commits or changes to its default DEADLINE scheduler, if so please put some links so we can study :)

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-11-0-m8-released

the solution is in this post.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
While the M6 release was a complete disaster (systemui constantly crashed), M7 and M8 releases are better but systemui still randomly crashes.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Interesting, however I'm staying with ROW or NOOP as it gives best performance/battery saving with SmartAssV2 on Guru kernel.

From Bedalus huge tests,

"For people who don't use their phone while off, and don't use many intensive apps, ONDEMAND is the best power saving choice paired with DEADLINE scheduler.

But for people who use a lot of CPU intensive apps, (for me todays common apps are exactly that regarding our old crespo hardware) SmartAssV2 may be the better choice. It will scale more aggressively, help prevent lags, and save energy being wasted through these delays. However, try ONDEMAND first, and if you don't notice any lags, stick with it."

I have lags, so I'm with tweaked Bedalus SmartAssV2 governor packed by [MENTION=3263349]ekerazha[/MENTION] in his Guru kernel.

Drain of battery about 5% for about 1 min or less. Battery stats saying its SystemUI and Lockscreen. Damn this is getting very very annoying and there seems to be no fix at all.

Also this happens from time to time, lockscreen gets busted ...

M4

Everything newer than M4 is a debacle. system.ui crashes hourly, and the whole "/data/tombstones" graveyard is full of tombstones. Windows 3.0 was more stable.
[Nexus S General] Naetmul:
Did you try gapps 20140105?
[Nexus S General] andrei1015:
I really don't understand how these problems are affecting you and nobody else. Peculiar.
[Nexus S General] Ahkah:
In fact it's not me alone. The "black screen with only LEDs on" phenomenon described in this thread seems also to be system.ui related, and if you might take a look at the JIRA bug database, you will find more crash reports. Just search for "systemui".

It's also quite possible that most users won't even notice the problem, because, when having been unlocked, in most cases the screen is just redrawn and one has to unlock the device again. And: Have you ever taken a look into your "tombstone" directory? It might be not as empty as you believe.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
They are working on a fix, only it takes too long now, lets be patient and see.
[Nexus S General] Ahkah:
Alternatively it might be technically possible to copy the system.ui binary from M4 to M[n] with n > 4 to avoid the crashes. Personally I am not interested in a theme manager in favour of stability.
