Undervolting

Net

Getting into the weeds here but have you tried-tested using the undervolting module-driver. Calk mentions it's best on kernel with VDD. If I wanted to use the UV script to test wouldn't it be best to try it with 4.3 nohavs-nouv? And would it really be better/different for battery during use than purpose of a havs or static uv kernel?

Would appreciate your thought...Thanks

Jim
[EVO 4G Android Development] sohr:
Are you looking for louder volume in-call, or louder media volume (when playing music, ringtone, etc)? From what I understand, the only tweaks to the kernel affect in-call volume for some reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] randyreed1971:
As far as volume goes, my wife has a non rooted stock evo. I just compared ringtones with her as far as loudness and there is no difference at all from what I can tell.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
That's because the audio gain wasn't applied to that speaker.

Day 4 or 5

Battery life is the best it's ever been for me. With my use patterns, Juicedefender, and a seido bigass battery, it appears I can run just a little over 48 hours. The battery doesn't go from 100 to 90 in 15 minutes off the charger either. I honestly thought something was wrong with the SL battery icon not updating, but just turned out for nearly 40 minutes the charge was registering 100%

4.3, bfs, havs, more
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
Right. Found the screen issue, should be fixed in the next revision. Getting a lot of constructive feedback on the 4.3 builds. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] sohr:
So then the audio gain tweaks (I'm presuming the "min_gain" and "max_gain" settings contained in q6audio.c and board-supersonice-audio.c) affect more than just the in-call volume? I had thought I had read that those settings only affect in-call volume in the original Nexus One thread (where Geniusdog and another user, I believe named Rotorhammer had tested changes after a tip from pershoot). Although I believe they only modified q6audio.c, and not board-supersonice-audio...

I've used both tweaked and non-tweaked kernels, and sometimes I think I hear a difference using music with a headset, and sometimes I don't think I hear a difference at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
Comparing to the n1 is imperfect since the n1 doesn't use supersonic boardfiles, but otherwise yes it's a change to the gain settings in q6audio and board-supersonic-audio.

I deliberately avoid raising the gain for the external speaker, since I figure that's loud enough as it is, and I don't want people to blow out their external speaker ;D

Music can be a fickle beast, every song has its own audio levels (hence why some recordings are quieter than others regardless of where you play them back).

Not to mention that we tend to become accustomed to a volume level after a little time listening to it, which is why we can sometimes get the impression that something playing at a lower volume is sounding louder when it isn't, or that something that's been playing loudly is sounding quieter.

This is also why you can get that "audio shock" experience from your car stereo if you've been driving around a while with the music at a certain volume, leave the car to do something, come back, and get the impression that the music is far too loud when you resume playback even though the volume hasn't changed at all. Fun stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sohr:
Just out of curiosity, is there any difference in the significance of the values in q6audio.c versus what is in board-supersonic-audio? I've seen some kernels that modify the gain levels in one file, but the other file remains untouched.

True... I was quite impressed when I first got my EVO at how good and loud the external speaker is-- at least for music. I would certainly call it sufficient for its purposes. However, I've always found the headset volume to be low, and the music sounded a bit Snuffalupugus-sy.

In my tests I would try to pick a single song at a single fixed volume level and play it both before the kernel change and again afterwards... but I found it amazingly hard to recollect exactly how loud or soft something you heard 10 minutes ago compared to what you are listening to right now.

I think I might do a real test using the line-in audio connection on my PC to measure sound levels... or maybe just modify the kernel source and set max_gain to something ridiculously low and see if music volume is significantly reduced.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
@net, those audio files referenced above, are they editable on the system, or they're embedded into the kernel?

If the first, where are they located?

Edit: On a different note, any chance of getting a BT stack with HID profile?

Hmm I think I mightve bricked my phone. I flashed the "netarchy-toastmod-4.3-bfs-havs-less-sbc-universal" kernel couple days ago and all's been fine. I had Clockwork 3.0.0.1 in ROM Manager and saw an update today for 2.6.*** so I flashed to it.

I was planning to downgrade my PRI to 1.77 and as I reboot into Recovery, it goes to the Bootloader menu but when I click on Recovery, i get the white HTC screen but then it goes straight back into the "FASTBOOT" menu. From that menu, I can click on BOOTLOADER again but everytime i hit Recovery it does the same thing. Am i screwed?? :(

Also now, if I try to boot normal my phone just gets stuck on the white HTC screen. I had this issue before when trying other netarchy SBC kernels which I could go into recovery and wipe the cache and davlik and I'd be able to boot fine. Unfortunately I cant get into Recovery to do that. Seems like my phone isnt liking the undervolting?

Any ideas?? :confused: Thanks In Advance.

GPS and Music are conflicting with each other... Playing mp3s w/ HTC Music or listening to streams w/ XiiaLive on 3G causes Google Maps to costantly search for a GPS fix but never get it. As soon as I turn off music and switch back to Google Maps I get my GPS location right away. Been having this issue for too dam long to keep ignoring it... Could the kernel be the problem here? Let me know if you need any log dumps, I just dont know where to start with this one :)

PS: had this issue with multiple ROMs and with most kernels I've used, 99% of which are netarchy's anyways so... :P

@net

Any plans on using the bump charge from the beta on ms's thread?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sohr:
I'm obviously not Netarchy, but the audio files referenced are compiled into the kernel so the values are only modifiable prior to compile-time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sohr:
I think this was a known issue with Google Maps and not specific to any one kernel-- not sure if they've fixed this in the latest version.

Jbcarrera, btw i was able to restore, re-root, re-flash and up again. really appreciate the help! :)

On another note, doesnt seem like my phone likes the netarchy 4.3's .. ive tried a few different ones including no undervolting, nosbc, static, less, more but i always get stuck on the htc white screen when rebooting or after power off. I would have to boot to recovery, wipe cache and davlik ... then reboot and I can boot normally again. Everything works fine when its up and running though.

currently running SBC v7 less hav and able to reboot, power off/on with no lockup. I'm also on MikFroyo v4.3 ROM.

I recently installed 4.3-cfs-havs-less-nosbc on my 0002 Evo with Myn's RLS4. Loving the battery life and the rom is incredibly smooth.

I just cleared the data and will keep an eye on it, but I was wondering if anybody else had the same experience. Thanks!

If you haven't gotten a response on this yet... lemme ask - are you plugging the evo into a headset jack? I noticed with a cheap pair of headsets I had that music would suddenly launch a search. Looking at the icons on the status I saw a headset with a microphone going across it. It was detecting my cheapass headset as a hands-free.

Replaced the headset with a better one, normal headset shows, back to crappy one and the microphone shows eventually.

Just something to look at.

FYI - battery tests today

Decided to run the stock battery (long story involving wife wanting to ditch the extended battery for a cute case omitted) for a test. When I got this phone I could run it about 6-8 hours of normal use before the battery was shot and crying for juice.

I put in the stock and charged it ~6 hours last night, unplugged the phone at 7:30 this morning. It's 4:30 and it has 70% of the battery left. 9 hours 30% drain - not been using it too much, and I did notice at one point it had been woken up for a groupon ad for about an hour and a half. 27 theoretical hours on a stock battery seems wonderful to me.

4.3 bfs, more, battery

hw 003

only thing I have noticed is when it boots up the screen looks terrible like a flikering blown out fluorescent tube - I turn off the display for a sec by tapping the power button, bring it back up and it usually looks fine.

noob question about kernels

What do the following mean when it comes to kernels:

1. BFS

2. CFS

3. No SBC

4. SBC

5. Havs

6. No Havs

Any help will be much appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
BFS/CFS: different process schedulers. Basically, they're different methods for controlling how programs share the processor. BFS is supposed to give a more smooth experience than CFS, but results may vary.

SBC: A slightly controversial mod for improved battery charging. Helps prevent the case where you take the phone off the charger and it almost immediately drops to 90%. There is some concern that this may reduce battery life or increase the chance of battery fires, but nobody has experienced issues yet, as far as I know.

HAVS: Alters voltage to the processor based on utilization. Is supposed to increase battery life and eliminate the need for using SetCPU to control CPU speeds.

This! I travel alot and usually always stay someplace with an HDMI input.

Also, I have asked in a couple of threads over the last few days and have not gotten an answer on the following... Does undervolting work out of the box with these kernals or do you need to run SetCPU or equivalent?

Ceger
[EVO 4G Android Development] aixer:
Assassins,

Looks like a few of us so far, don't have the best performance with the default t2 setting. I get 28 fps at 4.84 stdev out of the box. HW REV-02/ Novatec / Fresh 1.0.1./ 3.6.2 kernel.

[EVO 4G Android Development] AssassinsLament:
You shouldn't need to run SetCPU, as yes, it should be undervolting automatically.

[EVO 4G Android Development] AssassinsLament:
Remember to make sure you're not running too many apps in the background as we've determined this does reduce the fps also. So as a good test, reboot the phone, let it sit 5 mins after booting, then kill any apps that you can and then run fps2d or gears.

To clarify on that, you don't need to use setcpu to make the undervolting stuff work.

The undervolting stuff automatically kicks in when the cpu is at lower frequencies.
