Yes I'm having wifi issues. It randomly shuts off then won't re-connect until I open settings>wireless & networks then it pops right back up without me doing anything. Also has problems switching between wifi sources, home and work and I have to do the same thing to get it to connect.

I'm running CyanogenMod 6.1 and it didn't do this with the stock kernel that Koush included with the ROM. I was getting horrible battery life with that kernel so I switched now I've got wifi problems.

Edit: My wifi sleep policy is set to never.

lmao wow, i read that like 3 times, and i remember reading that, and it still skipped right over my head haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
This is very important! when my screen is off and the phone rings, everything lights up but the screen. i cant get the display on til the caller stops ringing my phone. i miss every call almost since UD 2.5. whats going on with that? if i get a text, the display pops right up or anything else.

also, when i turn the display back on it takes 30 seconds or so for data to turn back on. i think they may be related somehow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
yea, this combo is a beast for me!!! I didnt bump charge (like i did the 1st time) the last time i charged my phone. it hit 100% and i unplugged it right away. I am currently at:

1 day, 10 hours, 8 minutes since last unplug with 52% battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Rrrracer:
Woah, on a stock battery? I must need a new battery LOL... that's awesome man.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ejkeebler:
I really am jealous, when I first got my incredible i could not handle the 12 hour lifespan, so i got a seido 1750 and it basically makes it through the day on light use, still have to charge it at night if i use it for more than 20 or 30 minutes. Wish I could get over 2 days. If I don't have the time to bump charge, forget about it, i'll be plugging it in on my way home from work....lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
on stock battery!?!???!!!!!!

how do you use your phone on average throughout the day?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] invisiblek:
sweet man, what kernel version are you using?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] J-Buck:
At this point I'm thinking it's the ROM and not the kernel. I was getting good battery life before switching to cyanogenmod 6.1 RC 2. should I run a nightly instead?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
hes on #19, he posted a few pages back that after a bump charge on CM nightly 174 with #19, he was at like 40% after 2 days and like 4 hours!!!!!!!:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
I'm 99.9% sure it's stock battery. i bought this phone off someone and it looks like the stock battery for sure.

my phone is used for mostly texting and phone calls. Some quick google searching and updating apps. i dont have my gmail syncing or facebook or anything like that. just basically using it as a phone lately. ive been pretty busy and dont have time for games as of yet. but i'm digging this so far!

next charge i'm going to try and leave it plugged in over night to see if it starts to drain after it reaches 100% and see if i get a big drop off like other people experienced.

not quite, here's the screen shot:

the 40 something % was my voice calls percentage. i snapped the photo right before the battery died. see how its red with a line through it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
oh lol. my mistake. still impressive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I ran the nightly #174 with kernel #16 and 18 and battery life was great. I just flashed 6.1 "stable" last night and unplugged the phone this morning (after bump charge) and I'm down to 87% with just 32 txt messages; 2.5 hrs since unplugged. I might give it a try for a full day, but I think I'll go back to the latest nightly (and get the rotary unlock screen in the process :))...might be a placebo effect but I think my #174/#18 setup was doing better.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
I'm getting phenomenal battery life too with this kernel (#18) and CyanogenMod 6.1 (stable). BatteryLeft is reporting 70 hours of full battery life. I ran it all day yesterday and didn't recharge last night and it was still at 70% after 24 hours. I think the kernel turns off wifi after a period of time as my wifi battery usage has dropped considerably (set to never turn off in wifi settings). But it does have a problem recovering a wifi signal after the phone wakes up but that is just a minor nuisance. The best battery combo I had before was with Virtuous and heyitslou kernel #5 with a 33 hour battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fp99:
I'm thinking about going to 175 with kernel 17 or 18 myself. I've been running the CM stable for about 3 days now and battery life seems pretty good, but I feel like I've gotten better battery life 175 and kernel 17 combo.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
Im gonna try out CM 174 with kernel 19 for a day and see how it works out. even if i get that long of battery life, im not sure if im going to stick with it, as ive been running MIUI for a few weeks, and that is by FAR my favorite ROM out to date.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I'm beginning to question if the "Galaxy S theme" that was recently posted for 6.1 stable (and RC2) messed up something. I should have use the stock installation for a while to do a better evaluation. There shouldn't be any major difference between stable and the latest nightlies so I'm leaning towards the idea that the theme messed up something even though it was made for the proper ROM version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
is 6.1RC2 "non-stable" where 6.1 is stable? i just flashed 6.1 now on kernel #19, running very smooth for me. 6.1rc2 wasnt this smooth as far as i remember.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I would think the latest 6.1 release is more stable than 6.1RC2. At least for me, I would get FC every once in a while with RC2 (even the same day of the install). With nightly #174 I didn't had a single FC. I've been running the 6.1 stable since last night and is working great thus far. The only difference I've noticed between 6.1 and #174 while using kernel #18 is that battery life is not as good with 6.1 stable. So I think the Galaxy theme messed up something for me. Who knows :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
nice to know. i have 174 saved on my SD card, im gonna try 6.1 stable out for a day or two, see how it works, then i might give 174 a shot with kernel 18 or 19.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
Just want to say, iv been using CM rom since it was first released as 5 and then 6. Used many different kernels, while Kings is a good kernel, i must say i have the best performance (never benchmarked) , and battery life with your kernels. Many thanks to your work put into the kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egeorgia:
I think you might be on to something. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the stellar battery like I was. I installed the inexus theme. Wonder if that is draining more battery.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
The guy who ported over the Galaxy S theme for CM6.1 also ported the Nexus theme, so yeah...I think we have assembled all pieces to the puzzle :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egeorgia:
Did a fresh install of 6.1. Put on number 20. Lets hope for the best.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] irod87:
where are number 19 and 20? I only see to 18.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
They are like test kernels that people aren't checking out. K is trying to find the best combo. Search invisiblek's posts. Guess he didn't make them official yet
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
19 is post 374

20 is, idk.

im running cm6.1 and 19, bump charged last night, been unplugged for 8 hours now (although i was sleeping so didnt use the phone much) and only at 92%. i was at 96% when i woke up, but ive checked facebook a few times here since i got to work 20 minutes ago. still, even on a bump charge on other kernels, if i left it unplugged over night, id be down to 90. so far so good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
you installed the inexus theme on 6.1 instead of galaxy? hows your batt life now?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
ok, here are my findings....

bump charge: 2 days 4 hours with moderately heavy use. (mostly calls and text)

charge and unplug at 100%: 1 day 22 hours with moderately heavy use. (mostly calls and text)

Charge overnight: Plugged in at 10pm, unplugged at 3am. Phone at 72% at 6am.

I'm guessing we cant have these things charge over night. gotta unplug it at 100% or bump charge.

I'm on nightly 174 with v19 kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
i couldnt agree more. i normally plug mine in overnight. last night i charged (bumped a few times) until 100, unplugged, and 7 hours later when i woke up at 6am, it was still at 96%. thats on cm6.1stable and #19

on cm6.1 though, it takes a long time to get to 100. with the phone on, my light will turn green at like 95%. itll stay at 95 for a long time before it creeps up to 96 97 etc.

but i agree, i think if we charge (bump or not) then unplug at 100, its better than leaving it in over night.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ufvj217:
do you have anything in the background syncing like email, gmail, facebook, etc?

setcpu, watchdog?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] invisiblek:
19 has things built in that are causing issues with "overcharging" if you plan to leave it plugged in all night, go for 18, it should act like stock in that respect.

I have another patch from ms79723 that ill be putting into another test kernel at some point
[Droid Incredible Android Development] julesism:
i just installed\checked OSmonitor and yea it looks like it's on ondemand by default. I do not use SetCPU and I'm on a clean CM6 #163 (112810) nightly. I gave OSmonitor root access and set it to smartass manually.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Panda Fuzz:
My bad, all you need to do is change the scaling_governor file located in:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chemical1der:
same here, on demand by default and had to manually set it to "smartass." SetCpu has a "set on boot" option. i know this has given some problems (boot loops) on other kernel/rom combinations. has anyone tried this with invisiblek's yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bilbobrian:
Yep, it works for me with set cpu. Shadow rom 2.2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] julesism:
I would suggest those of you using this kernel to try going without SetCPU. There is not (or will not be once we get an update) a need for it since the kernel can do its thang :D for now, just set it to smartass manually.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:
When flashing kernels.....

First wipe cache partition

Then wipe dalvik

Then flash kernel
[Droid Incredible Android Development] EvilNilla:
I went ahead and ran a quick Quadrant since I was going to update to latest CM6.1 (164). The results of each were pretty good! I'm not running any SetCPU profiles.

CM6.1 Nightly164 Default Kernel: 1378

invisiblek's Kernel: 1255,1433

Other things I noticed, this kernel boots FAST! My lock screen is up in < 45 seconds.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:
see this is the teamwork i was talking about seanzer and chads threads

we need better aosp support over here and we are finally getting

vanailla ROMs are better IMHO

i cant wait to see how far we go

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Testingchip:
Its running great on 163 nightly. I just wiped partition and flashed perfectly. 1617 in quadrant. I'm hopefully looking for some good battery life. Will report back after some use. Thank you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:
wow how did you score so high
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmrnhs:
works great on miui 0.11.26.1, however, why does it say in SetCpu that it is overclocked to 1.15 ghz. great gpu boost neocore went 25.7fps to 31.3fps
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dunndada:
nice work... feels really smooth.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dunndada:
on a side note... this is the first aosp kernel that doesnt cause baseball superstars 2010 to lag on MIUI... amazing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Testingchip:
Just had setcpu min and Max maxed. Three runs with quadrant. First was high 1400s second was in 1500s and it topped out at 1617 on third run. I was just trying to push it as high as i could.

So far it seems snappy and seems to charge faster than the onboard kernel. For me anyway.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] invisiblek:
patched up to latest from chad, up for testing

scoring lower on quadrant, but it should yield better battery life, still seems very smooth here
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slorange:

thank you soo much you are the man and it keeps getting better

[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
what about 20? how does that fare with 18 and 19?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rick311:
only thing in the back syncing is beautiful widgets, every 3 hours. i have setcpu installed, but no profiles, no over clocking, no underclocking. i dont even know what watchdog is so, no . . .

invisiblek, i just charged overnight to see what would happen. i dont need to do it. this thing charges so quickly that if i could plug it in an hour before i go to be and it'll be done as i lay my head on the pillow. plus i'm a little worried that if i switch to 18, i wouldnt get 2 days worth of juice.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] invisiblek:
20 reverted 19's changes and partially added 128mhz (doesn't run at 128 much though) 20 should be considered stable, but its not much of a change from 18, so i wont post it on the main page.

I did however post a link to the testing folder on the OP
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
i have been testing 20. i never see a battery change. i get 6 hrs max. its kind of been heavy use since i havent had my laptop. people here need to say what battery they are using. i use the stock battery. i have 2. would a 1500 be that much better. i dont want a battery where i need a new back. i can't believe people are getting 2 days out of their batteries. i would like to get through a work day. lol

on a side note: what do you think the max speed of the inc will/or can be?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] raptir:
I think a big part of the battery life variance is different people having different definitions of heavy use. If I were mostly texting, I could get two days out of it, and I consider that to be light use no matter how much texting I'm doing. But if I'm browsing on 3G, I can maybe get 3 hours of actual use out of it.

Sent from my ADR6300
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
i mostly use wi-fi if not exclusively. phone calls drain the battery quick i noticed. yeah. heavy or light use is very relative. but i dont do that much texting or make many phone calls. 10-20 texts, 2-5 calls during the day. internet access using wi-fi, maybe an hour total. stock battery mind you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] J-Buck:
I'm going to try that set up also
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Disable background data and your battery life goes way up. Though you don't have market access like that.

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Phone calls and 3G usage are known to be the main causes of quick battery drain. If you use your phone as a "laptop replacements" and you are browsing like there is no tomorrow, then obviously the battery is going to drain quickly. I think the main reason why this kernel works so great without any need of setCPU (and it's profiles) is because the smartass governor does a pretty good job of scaling the CPU as needed...and the screen off profile works great.

I've tried most of the other AOSP kernel (with and without setCPU) and they don't come close to this kernel. Like others have said Moderate/Heavy usage is relative to each individual's needs. For me on a regular work day, I work on a computer all day, so I browse on my computer instead of using the phone. Still I do 3-4 quick calls a day and about 100txt and play music for ~2-3hrs. When I leave work I still have at least 40% of my battery. On the weekends I dont' text as much or play music, so I can go as far as 36hrs before I need to recharge the phone. I'm pretty sure that if I was hook on the phone using 3G the battery mileage is going to be much less than my other 2 cases/examples.

Is hard to do a battery life comparison between different users because of the many variables that affect the battery drain (including phone coverage in your area). But if you are using 3G heavily (i.e. 2-3 hours straight), you'll probably wont' notice any major difference between kernels.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
does anybody have a bigger battery that doesnt change the profile of the inc? and, have you noticed any difference? more mah's than stock i mean
[Droid Incredible Android Development] upther:
I have the 1750 Seidio battery and it fits perfect. The downside is that they overcharge you for what is essentially only a 1500 battery. I know that people have used the 1500 batteries from the Touch Pro 2 and been happy with them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmalkin:
For me: cm nightly 183 with #18. Stock battery with bluetooth and background sync *disabled*. 3G enabled still. I work in a hospital with very, very bad to no reception. I did some calls (with 0-1 bars), did a fair amount of browsing over wifi or 3G. Off charger from overnight @ 630am. Plugged in at 8% 1130pm. By far the best kernel I've used. Setcpu installed but all kernel defaults used. I tried juice defender previously with this kernel but didn't seem to help much.

One thing I noticed is that the battery drained very slowly when it was below 15% or so. Impressive!

The key seems to be disabling BOTH bluetooth and sync. Only doing one seems to have minimal effect on battery life in my experience.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] J-Buck:
Why does CM make Display the biggest drainer of my battery? I keep my screen brightness at 25% and have a relatively dark background so I don't understand why my display is always in the 70's.

-Droid Incredible 1750 battery
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
I have been asking that question for a while now. I'm using ultimate Droid v2.5. Maybe it's not the rom. I turn my display off as soon as I set it down. I'm at 25% too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
It's not just CM...

Side note, I was running #20 but it was wonky. I had battery drain issues or something.

Reverted back to #17 and I've been up for 2.5 days :D (not in battery) Other AOSP kernels were forcing me to reboot my phone due to laggyiness.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
I installed the new baseband for the evo and went to #16 ( cuz everyone said battery life was so good), so far it seems better and is still snappy with the same quad and lin scores. I will give it another day though. Btw, the baseband update didn't get me better signal. It stayed the same. -~80db. I heard that it may save some battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] brillantesdv:
anything we need to know about #21 besides the mentioned changes? flashing it right now...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kennnny1:
Trying 21 myself right now. Interested in the new multi touch improvements, I'm just unsure how to test them out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kennnny1:
Just tested it and the 10 point multi touch works. Well done.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
It's simply more accurate than what you're used to seeing..

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10537
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
Sorry. I disagree. Then why is it so with the 10 roms I have tried?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JetBomber117:
CM6 uses newer, smarter code to look at processes more in depth and more accurately to track battery usage. Also, you may even use less battery on CPU processes on AOSP/CM6, which would shrink the CPU usages percentages, making display look massive in comparison.

CM6 simply breaks the usage up more in depth, making display look much larger than the others, even though there was hardly a change.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
The sense roms just don't report the display usage correctly. Not sure why, but they didn't.

The tests in the link I posted show that the usage is about the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kennnny1:
If you had even bothered to read the article Seanzer posted you would understand. Not sure how you missed it, that was the perfect answer to the question and you totally ignored it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dccoh:
missing something?

I flashed #21, and i download a couple multitouch test programs from the market.

They still only found the phone to have 2 multitouch points.

And Im only seeing a min of 245, no matter what governor i use (using setcpu).

Am I missing something? I flashed it a couple times, and redownloaded just to make sure. I checked my info and it says im using kernel #21.

Thanks. That just seems to enable me to rotate maps in the Maps app, but i still only have 2 point multitouch at this point.

I flashed the kernel again, and still no 128 minimum (still only 245 minimum), and only 2 point multitouch. Thats after wiping caches before the flash.

Am I doing something wrong? First time having any problems when flashing any kernels.
