If you use a ROM's stock kernel, thermal throttling is enabled correctly.

Give Omni and Trickster Mod a try. Omni is more stable & bug-free than CM, and Trickster will show you your CPU temps, as you only posted your battery temps - which are way too high! How the hell did you reach it? Even if I do some antutu, mine never reaches more than 40 °C. 58 °C is either a sensor misbehaving, or you put your phone in a jacket, lol, as it's far enough from the CPU to not heat up.

Post some Omni & Trickster temps with it's stock kernel :) something must be wrong, as I didn't notice anything like this on my maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
My battery goes to about 44 degrees C when watching Netflix and charging and about the same during navigation and charging. Only time it's gotten hotter than that is due to environmental issues (such as very hot car interior before ac cools down). I run cm11 and faux123 kernel. Looks like OP is having some kind of hardware issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
I think it would be helpful to try to narrow down where the heat is coming from. Some possibilities:

1. Mobile data or LTE - a likely suspect, but you've already eliminated this one.

2. GPS - set Google Maps aside for a bit, get an app like GPS Status and Toolbox, set it to keep the screen on, and see if this still causes the heating issues.

3. GPU (or lack of proper use of GPU) - If Google Maps overheats the phone but GPS Status does not, it could be how CM is handling the display for Google Maps.

I got a chance to do some testing yesterday afternoon while driving. Toroplus on Page Plus, OmniROM 8-31 nightly, NukedTrinity kernel (was running it to test something else, will test stock kernel today but I fully expect results to be the same). Mobile data off as always. Started GPS right after a 15 minute phone call, battery was at 40 C. Hooked up the charger and ran GPS Status for 5 minutes, battery temp went up to 44 C. Ran Google Maps for 15 minutes (had previously downloaded offline maps for the area), still charging. Battery temp had gone back down to 40 C.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
Can you provide me with a link to the exact kernel you're using? I'd like to test it as well. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
http://faux.romhost.me/tuna/kk44/tuna-kk-kernel-039m-sr.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
Thank you. I'll test with this shortly as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
[MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION]

I agree that these temperatures are way too high; as you'll see below, though, my phone is reaching 46 degrees C simply by using GPS Status! I don't know what to make of that.

[MENTION=4531957]musical_chairs[/MENTION]

Thank you for testing as well. I agree that your hypothesis about separate testing is sound, and so I've been testing using GPS Status. I've tried [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] 's kernel, FancyKernel v56, and Laux123's kernels--all provide slightly different results, but to varying degrees of bizarre behavior using GPS Status.

Stock 4.3 works very well; it determines a bearing indoors without GPS fix and maintains it, with almost no change over a 10 minute period of time. Also, 4.3 warms up, but it never exceeded 44 degrees C.

CM11 w/ Laux123, Fancy Kernel and bsmitty83's all exhibit strange heading behavior. If you'll watch this youtube clip I uploaded (2:45), you'll notice that the phone is laying flat on a wooden table, and yet the Heading will change by 15 or more degrees on it's own. Later in the clip, I move the phone manually to force it to readjust, and you'll see that finds a new bearing from the beginning.

Laying both phones down next to one-another, stock 4.3 indicated the bearing was approximately 219 degrees. In this video clip (FancyKernel r56), my phone believes the bearing is 285 degrees (to begin with) and 260 degrees at the end.

Might GPS be the problem? I suppose I should flash Stock 4.3 to my phone, to make sure it does not continue to behave this way and rule out hardware problems/failure, right?

This just seems really bizarre. Especially that using a GPS fix application can ramp up the temperature so quickly, and so dramatically. Perhaps is the driver/kernel making too many callbacks, causing an escalation in CPU use and heat?

Finally, where can one find the CM11 M8 kernel (indivdually)? I'd like to re-flash it and compare it as well.

Thanks for the continued help in troubleshooting what's happening, everyone.

YouTube CM11 FancyKernel r56
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
[MENTION=1508279]Shidell[/MENTION] just download cm11 m8 and pull out the boot.img so you can fastboot flash it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freshgiammi:
I managed to gain -5°C on my maguro.

Basically just lowered the thermal throttle to stock values, and now it feels cooler. However still hotter than 4.3 so we're now sure that's not the culprit. Just FYI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
That's really interesting--5 degrees makes a pretty big difference.

I think I'm going to put stock back on my phone soon, in order to make sure it isn't some sort of hardware failure (maybe the chips in the GNex start to fail if they overheat too high/much? I've heard of that type of failure causing strange issues.)

I'm not sure what to chalk up as the culprit yet, but something is amiss.

If anyone else is reading this thread with a Galaxy Nexus and can comment on their experiences, that information would be useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
[MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] A stock 4.2 or 4.3 kernel should work with any ROM, such as CM10.2 or CM11, is that correct?

I've tried pushing boot.img via fastboot, against both, but neither wants to boot. Am I doing something incorrectly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
Yep, but you should only flash the zImage, as flashing the full boot.img flashes the 4.2/3 ramdisk too, which won't work.

BTW, it would be much easier to just flash the latest Omni to your phone. It uses a kernel close to stock, and it's close to AOSP... unlike CM ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
I plan on testing Omni today. :) The reason I ask about the kernel is because I'd also like to test various other ROMs using one of the stock 4.2 or 4.3 kernels.

Can I extract the zImage from the boot.img to ensure I'm only flashing the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freshgiammi:
Yes ;) Connect the gnex via usb and "fastboot flash zimage zImage"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagara.sandaru:
I'm having a huge lag with the latest version of Chrome which updated with material design. I'm afraid will we be having these gpu related bugs with Android L as well.

Will these gpu drivers issues be fixed with 3.4 kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
Hm, I'm not sure I can answer that without more information.

What ROM and Kernel are you using? What type Galaxy Nexus? If you are using 4.4, can you do a screencap of what you're experiencing and upload it to YouTube as I have?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Could you give FML a try? In particular the latest beta build...

not sure if you're on a maguro or a toro, so I'll link them both:

omni-4.4.4-20140825-maguro-FML.zip (159.56 MB)

omni-4.4.4-20140824-toro-FML.zip (159.41 MB)

With FML being based on OmniROM, if there's an issue with OmniROM but not FML or vice-versa it can help narrow down what might be the difference that causes the issue.

I'm also interested if screen record via adb works with that build for ya as well, so if you could test that it'd be much appreciated.

The 3.4 kernel isn't looking to be the smoking gun we were hoping for, however if we can get Ducati (hardware video encode/decode and camera stuff) working with the updated GPU drivers in the 3.0 kernel that would definitely be helpful. The newer GPU drivers have better power management by a landslide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freshgiammi:
^ quote.

Also, just for you to know. 3.4 won't probably fix bugs.

PVR is working, so we managed to update the GPU drivers. But camera and video playback (ducati) don't work. Once we set 'em up working, DDK1.9 will be released.

Now it's all just about fixing the damn Ducati.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
[MENTION=3390093]MWisBest[/MENTION] Is there a toroplus variant, or would I be safe to flash the toro build on a toroplus? I'll definitely test the FML variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Ah, I wasn't aware you were on toroplus. You could probably flash the toro build however the RIL wouldn't work and possibly some other things such as GPS, so I'll see if I can get a toroplus build whipped up tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
I gave the toro build a shot, the installation script said "This package is for "toro" devicesthis is a "toroplus"."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagara.sandaru:
Maguro. PA-4.6 BETA1 with dirtyv kernel. What app did you use to capture the screen? I have tried few apps before but it doubles the lag. Haven't u updated the chrome to the latest version(v37) yet? I've tried chrome beta on LS and Vanir as well few weeks ago and I had the same lag. I thought the lag will be less noticeable when it hit stable. But it isn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagara.sandaru:
[MENTION=1508279]Shidell[/MENTION] are you on Dalvik or ART?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
I'm using Dalvik. To record your screen as video, use ADB. This is a good reference:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Happy to see that my rom is one of the ones not causing you trouble. I'm a little lost on what your ultimate goal is here. Why not just stick with a trouble-free rom and forget about it?

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
[MENTION=3927368]poo706[/MENTION] I'd like to find the root cause, because it seems some ROMs exhibit this faulty behavior and others do not, but there doesn't seem to be a clear indication as to why.

I'd like to try to track down this issue so that people can use the ROM of their choice without this issue hindering them, and hopefully, prevent this from being an issue that could be carried over to Android L, when available, if ported to the Galaxy Nexus.

Do you have any ideas as to what I might look at in regards to it? If we can determine the cause, I'd like to do further thermal testing. Is there a config file that might be contributing to GPU settings? If not, would it really come down to a driver?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
Ah, ok, gotcha. I'm not sure how much help I can be. I would think that kernels would be more of a factor here than the ROM. Perhaps my ROM isn't giving you troubles since I include a 3rd party kernel (Fancy) instead of the stock LS kernel. Or maybe it's even specific kernel settings, like governors and such.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
[MENTION=3927368]poo706[/MENTION] Do you have anything you can point me at to review? Driver modules I should compare, .prop or other config files, etc?

Your ROM is working wonderfully, you're doing something right where many others are not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poo706:
I'm not familiar enough with driver modules and the like to point you in any specific direction. If I were you, I'd start by isolating the kernel. Install Fancy r54 with all the same kernel settings (using an app like TricksterMod) on a ROM that has problems and see what happens.

[poo]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
Okay, I'll work on doing that. Thank you.

[MENTION=2838735]aosp[/MENTION] [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] [MENTION=4531957]musical_chairs[/MENTION] Might any of you three have suggestions on what else I can investigate?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
It's a strange issue you have... maybe compare the device tree of a good and a bad rom (android_device_samsung_tuna repos).

AFAIK kernel 3.4 uses exactly the same PVR as my updated 3.0 kernel (my omni build), and every current ROM uses the same drivers (not only GPU).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shidell:
Okay, I can do that as well.

Have you tested Phase Beam with Google Now Launcher on your device? Do you exhibit the same issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
Yes, transitioning from a homescreen to the google now page is laggy. Transitioning between homescreens is smooth as butter though... this is on omni with my updated kernel, still with the old PVR, as I need camera now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjshrjndrn:
I'm now using fml by [MENTION=3390093]MWisBest[/MENTION] , which includes the latest driver using kernel. thanks to [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] for his work.

Now a days mediatek is a populer chipset among the low end android phones ! But many custom roms are possible in this Soc.

These tutorial ar for them who know about rom porting!

Porting MiUi to mediatek.

You have to take MiUi rom compalitable with your Soc.

Like

MT6577 to MT6575

MT6589 to MT6577

MT6582 to MT6572

Better is to port from the same SOc like MT6572 to MT6572:D:D:D

For porting MiUi,Lewa,Oppo

To port for MT6572 to MT6572 just copy and replace these files from your stock rom to port rom.

system/lib/modules

system/etc/firmware

system/user/keylayout/generic.kl

Done now decompile boot.img of your stock rom also the MiUi rom you are porting !

Now copy and replace int.rc to stock boot.img ramdisk folder from ramdisk folder of MiUi boot.img after decompiling.

You have to change the mount point of updater script of the rom you are porting.

Open updater script of port rom find these lines

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "0");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system");

Now change the mmcblkop_ with your phones partition.

To know about your phones mount point download partition table from google play!(system,data,each does not have the same mount point)

Done now again zip your rom and flash.

To port MiUi,Lewa,Oppo from different chip mentioned above and MT6582 to MT6582,MT6589 to MT6589

Copy and replace these files from stock rom to port rom

system/etc/firmware

system/lib/modules

system/lib/hw

system/usr

system/vendor

Now do the same work to boot.img and updater script ! Now zip your rom and flash!:cool:

First of all, i've unlocked my jasjar, it's now a superCID device. Or well, i guess so, since i can exec lnb commands.

Here you are the "log" from mtty:

Using the "l" command jasjar hangs and MTTY claims a timeout in \\\wcehUSB1 or something after 5 minutes.

Any idea? I've tried with USB2 and USB1.2, tried differend PC models and differend baud but nothing change.

The "info 2" returns a strange SuperCID message. 2 bad.

Any advice is appreciated!

Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Unobtanium!!

Hi, guys. The requirement to establish bona fides here seems fair. So:

I am a crypto-graphic currency geek -- that's Bitcoin and Friends. My android skills are pathetic -- but the two technologies are rapidly being bundled together. I have two 'wallets' on my smartphone.

So -- I will try to answer questions, and I suspect that I will learn a lot from you guys. My specialty is analysing coins and their communities. And my goal is to post info about an android app.

Is Bitcoin the only 'crypto'? Nah -- over 700. Is it the best? Well, it's 'first-generation': but it holds 95% of total market-cap, so it is The Biggie. Are there different types of cryptos? Whoa!! Yes.

Mark (IndiaMikeZulu), Australia
[Security Discussion] IndiaMikeZulu:
Your First Android Crypto-Wallet?

The biggest problem is learning to secure crypto coin in the first place. You have to learn how to 'set up' a buy on the net (through a bank in your country); go to the bank; deposit the 'fiat' currency (ordinary money); wait for your crypto to turn up in your wallet.

So, ya gotta start with a wallet:

you will find Litecoin and Bitcoin wallets in Google Play Store. Download one. It will 'synch,' which means that it will suck up the data that IS the currency. The coins are not in your smartphone. They are in the 'blockchain.' You can chuck the phone down the well. Doesn't matter . . . if you have 'archived the keys.'

We'll do that tomorrow.

Mark (IndiaMikeZulu), Australia
[Security Discussion] IndiaMikeZulu:
I searched. There are plenty of references to 'Bitcoin' here. But most aren't recent.

Bitcoin holds 95% of total crypto market-cap. It is a great coin because it has 'brand awareness.' However, if you are a serious technophile, you might like to know that it is 'first generation.'

The second-generation coins are sometimes not even currencies: it's all about the 'blockchain,' on which you can run a currency or a 'protocol' that includes a currency (or other) or even a thing -- 'asset' -- that is like a company, with stocks (coins) that you trade.

But the bottom line is: ask me how you and a couple of mates can run a $3 experiment in cryptos and android wallets. I'd be glad to do it.

Mark (IndiaMikeZulu), Australia
[Security Discussion] IndiaMikeZulu:
The fascinating/incomprehensible reality at this second is the way in which technologies are being linked to technologies are being linked to technologies.

At first when I got my nexus 10, it was charging quite nice, overnight would charge from 30% to 100%, but recently it stopped doing so, for example tonight after 8 hours it got from 35% to 70%, all stock: same cable, same charger.

Also, sometimes I used to put it on charge while using it, like when watching video, and it used to charge even if slow, now when doing this it says charging but the battery level goes down....

can the stock charger or cable be damaged? why did it stop charging fast overtime?

I used the its usb cable and charger few times to charge my new OnePlus, which requires a high ampere charge, can this cause the charger to overwork and then damaging its power output?

I read about the pogo charger does the job better, but I also read about the 28/24 usb cables, and I guess that the stock cable is 28/28, they did it like this to sell pogo charger cables. but the main issue here is that with the same combination it was better a month ago....

Consider either this or buying a new cable/charger for much less money. Either way my best guess is this is what you need, but you can always try a factory reset or reflash stock to see if it is a software issue
