the wifi has abruptly turned off while I was using it, and this was on my home network so there was no way it lost the signal. It did it a few times on the bfs and cfs

Wifi

alright let me let you know the deal with wifi.

Its a pain in the butt.

For best results we need to have the same Wifi as the rom... each rom has wifi drivers/firmware built into it. for best results the kernel wifi and rom wifi need to be the same...

each of these darn gingerbread roms' may no have the same... since there is now about a million.

We are working with 3 specific roms in development (teaming with them)

CM7 RC0

Salvage-Rom

Evervol Acies

Im going to get with them, see whats up with their wifi in the rom, and then collaborate to have it set the same in the kernel. 1.5.1 will be released tomorrow...

Until then enjoy everyother part of the kernel and just use the 3G :-)

Sorry for the kernel bug... we need to extend out testing periods... which means instead of a day, its going to be a week minimum between releases.
[EVO 4G Android Development] twiz0r:
Nice response. I'll be waiting for the test kernel :) everything else is fantastic with the kernel for me

Can you add SBC for tomorrows build please??? :) :)

I still dont fully understand why it was taken out but I'm sure you have your reasons....just seemed like .7 was working perfectly with 1.34 so was thinking it'll work fine with 1.5 or 1.51 :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SpydaPig:
Been testing out your kernel but the only issue i've been having also is with the wifi. It's been dropping in and out. Other than that this kernel is really smooth with MIUI 12/24. Thanks for the great work
[EVO 4G Android Development] goodboynyc:
Seems faster than the stock CM6.1.2 kernel but I get reboots when idling the same as using a Zendroid kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I'm curious on the exclusion of SBC as well. Like the quoted member said, I'm sure there was a good reason.

Have you tried setting a screen off profile with SetCpu?
[EVO 4G Android Development] conflikt:
I've also had the same problem. And I truely believe that it has to do with SBC. As im a cpu overclocker and build custom gaming rig i understand the pluses and negatives of overclocking/ undervolting. I'm speaking to a friend who is a electrical engineer. And my other buddy who was a software engineer for several company's such as HTC and government agencys. It does give me about 1 hour of extra battery life but ever since using SBC I have noticed my phone takes forever to boot, and randomly freezes/locksup and I'm using setcpu just to set the profile. I tested all 4 kernels of zendroids and all ran choppy after a few days, freezes/lock ups ect. Although since running this kernel I have a few minor freezes but no total lockups. Or forced reboots. Long boot time still exists. Going to Backup SD card and format it to see if that does the trick. If not ill know it is SBC that is causing it forsure. Mind boggling that a ion lithium battery can replace a psu haha! Great job with this kernel!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] conflikt:
Btw I'm running .76 hboot, 002 hardware newest radios/wimax. Pre-ordered my evo from best buy receieved it about a week before release in sprint stores. My screen has about 4-5 nice size stuck pixels that are very noticeable/ screen lifting but I refuse to give up my phone for a refurbished. Had a TP2 for 1 mouth, KB died, Sprint sent me a refurbished, died in 2 months, ended up replacing 4 phones in 6 months before they finally sent me a refurbished Palm Pre. I'm going to take it in, if they say the word "refurbished" ill get angry, tell them to replace my screen/glass and keep that refurbished phone lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] black_mamba:
Have you checked you wifi sleep policy? (Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> WiFi Settings -> Menu -> Advanced -> WiFi Sleep Policy) I have mine set to NEVER and I never have any reconnection issues. If you usually have wifi around then you should set to NEVER (not WHEN SCREEN TURNS OFF), otherwise when the phone pulls data it will use 3G/4G using even more battery than if you left wifi on 24/7. You can always use a widget to turn off the wifi when you leave the house.

I just plugged my phone in at 3% when I came home today and that's after 38 hours of pretty heavy use. This is with CFS v1.3.2 on CM6.1.1. I'm about to flash v1.5 now, but will miss SBC. Can't wait till tomorrow for v1.5.1.

Setcpu isn't gaining superuser priveledges and is stuck at 225/998. However, wifi did finally work for me! Don't know how stable it is cause I usually don't use it, but this will make downloading kernel/rom updates much faster :-)

EDIT: superuser issue is with my rom, not kernel. Disregard
[EVO 4G Android Development] RichTJ99:
Hi,

I have used all the CFS kernels on CM 6.1.1 & with 1.5, I am having massive battery issues. I was using the phone a little bit but within 4.5 hours off the charger I am sitting at 21%.

Is this due to the lack of SBC?

Attached is a screen shot.

Thanks,

Rich
[EVO 4G Android Development] agemo:
Any idea of the wifi driver in MIUI? I know with it being closed source that it might be more difficult but I just was curious if there is going to be continued wifi issues with your awesome kernel and MIUI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
yup i have the same issue. I am testing 1.5.2 today... have to recharge. SBC is back and new wifi drivers that seem to make everyone happy. waiting for my testers to get back to me before release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spaz mk will:
A few things to consider that might help improve your battery life, or just explain why it is so bad. Also, very unlikely it is due to the lack of sbc. I am getting as low as a 32ma draw on idle/screen off though I am on wifi all day with 245/998 conservative.

Have you been on 3g all day? Do you have lots of services updating? I would say so, it seems you have 67 notifications lol which is just huge. Also, what are your setcpu settings for min/max and governor? What kind of usage have you been doing? Browsing,podcast,what have you. What kinds of update intervals are you using on your services that are updating? A short interval over 3g will really kill your battery. EDIT:Also you seem to have poor to average signal which can hurt you also, lower speeds mean your 3g is on longer and/or working harder to receive data, i.e. draining battery more quickly.

Hope this helps shed some light on your issues. I have had nothing but incredible battery life on this kernel but I am pretty proactive with how much I have backgrounded, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] paul85:
Loving this kernel. When I can post a screenshot, I'll do it. 22 hours plus, battery at 42%, WOO WOO, it used to die overnight on me!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] amorse2183:
thank you very much. I am anxiously awaiting the kernel

:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] itlnstln:
I am using the 1.3.4 CFS on MIUI 12.24, and I am having no problems. Great battery life, no WiFi drops, and no problems charging. IIRC, my HW is 002. I don't plan on upgrading until SBC is back in since I am having no problems; If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Great work, guys. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RichTJ99:
Hey thanks for getting back to me. My set CPU settings are the same as listed below but I do have a profile for screen off @ 245 & 450 (I dont have the phone right in front of me but its in that range). I keep 3g on always. The 67 notifications is Touchdown email letting me know i have emails. I get plenty of them all day & I am using exchange with push.

In terms of usage, I really didnt do much aside from some email checking & a phone call or two. I might have browsed the web for a few minutes too.

In terms of other services, I dont think anything else is running but google voice & touchdown. I guess other things may be doing things in teh background too.

I likely have my BT radio turned on as well.

Is there a way to automate 3g going on & off? I wouldnt be against having 3g turn off & setting my email to check every 15 minutes (if it could all do its thing on its own).
[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:
has anyone tried this on the cm7 rc0 stuff yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
You should try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807989

Really sad its not running on MIUI :(

Looking forward to the new kernel! Thanks for adding SBC back in!
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Yes works great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:
thanks man, will try it now!
[EVO 4G Android Development] spaz mk will:
I don't believe there is a way to automate 3g, that would be really nice though. Personally, if I'm not around wifi I turn 3g on and off as needed, but I'm a freak about trying to hyper-mile my phones battery haha

I'm going to assume touchdown is some form of email client for exchange. Personally I use gmail for all my mail, and it is very light on battery. I'm unsure if you can merge exchange into your gmail if you wanted to try, it may be possible. I can't remember, but just go with your preference.

If you really want to isolate what is using your battery, go into Spare Parts>Battery History, and then look through things based on network,cpu usage etc. Also, you can try things like OS monitor and system panel in your search for a rogue program if one exists, both have free versions in the market.

So, just take some time to snoop around and see if an app is really killing you. It may just be the 3g, but you can test that by rolling back to 1.3.4. Don't go to a previous backup, just flash that kernel again to minimize the factors that might change, which could help you isolate the issue. Also, turn off bluetooth when not in use. No sense in feeding circuits you aren't using.

Hopefully this will help you get closer to the problem. I want everyone to enjoy this kernel and battery life as much as I am. All thanks goes to these great devs!
[EVO 4G Android Development] spaz mk will:
That application looks promising. I figured someone out there had to make one that was really comprehensive. Gonna check it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Argh... Jumped the gun. Missed a whole paragraph in one of the quoted posts.

Re-edit: to elaborate on the Spare Parts suggestion, the usage you want to look for is Partial Wake Usage. It's in the top drop-down in Battery History near the bottom of the list.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gregabyte:
I was getting random hangs and restarts so I'm trying Zendroid to see if it's a kernel thing or a rom thing. It happened even more on the stock kernel, and not at all on savage 1.2. Seems to always happen while using the default browser app. Anyone know what this could be? Hoping 1.5.2 doesn't do this on my phone :)

Yeah, that app looks super nice. definitely gonna have to check it out. been using juice defender, but alternatives are always nice. didn't mean to be off topic.

[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
what were your setcpu settings. no one else has had this...

what version were you running,
[EVO 4G Android Development] gregabyte:
I was running version 1.3.4 CFS, and had setcpu setup with smartass governor, min 245000, max 998400, and screen-off profile of 245/284

EDIT: Does that sound like anything that would cause a problem? Let me know if there's anything else I can provide that would be useful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Download 1.5.2 tonight and run conservative

You'll be happy :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] gregabyte:
I'm planning on doing just that :) I did notice smartass was considerably snappier than conservative, but I also switched to BFS so that may explain some of the difference. I guess I'm grasping a little here as I haven't been completely scientific about it - can someone explain the pros/cons of CFS vs. BFS, and conservative vs. smartass? I know theoretically what the differences are, but don't know the difference in any practical terms.

Thanks so much for the awesome work on this kernel!

[EVO 4G Android Development] black_mamba:
Sorry you're right, 1.3.4. I am running 1.5 now and it is discharging much faster than 1.3.4. With 1.3.4 mine was discharging around 105-120mA, now it's 175-190mA, and that's with hardly any usage. Going back to 1.3.4 for now.

1.5.2 CFS Released... BFS will be up later
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
That post was generally very well written, but I would like to add a couple things.

He says that BFS would be better for quadrant scores than CFS, but it's my understanding that CFS would be better able to handle batch processes than BFS, which would mean that CFS should perform better on most benchmarks, which are basically a static set of operations to be completed in a set order (is that not what a "batch process" is?).

Also, he says that BFS tends to be more laggy than CFS, but, at least theoretically, BFS should be better than CFS for interactive operations, which would mean that BFS should be less laggy.

If anyone has an informed explanation for this, I would appreciate any clarification.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gimmetaffy:
As i understand it CFS is better for multitasking as it more evenly divides processing between foreground and background processes. Hence the lower quadrant scores due to background tasks getting more CPU etc. But it is generally smoother from the main screen going in and out of windows and applications.

BFS gives more processing power to what you have open in the foreground and less to background processes so you'll be better quadrant scores and apps like games may run slightly better....but it may be laggy, (i think of them as UI hiccups), in the general UI because the scheduler is constantly switching priority between things like your launcher and apps you are opening and closing.

I have played with both and feel like CFS gives a generally more pleasant experiences when messing around with the phone while BFS would only benefit me if i liked running benchies all day or wanted that extra 1-2 FPS in games.

Since this has HAVS, making SetCPU profiles would be a bad idea, correct?

Flashed the kernel couple of hours ago. So far so good. Wifi wasn't connecting at first on Bnice's GB rom, but did the airplane mode and turned on wifi and it worked. Just switched it to conservative mode, but was running on smartass.

Only lost like 2-4% battery from talking on the phone for about 40 minutes and checking twitter.

Looking forward to the upcoming builds. Great work.

Excellent, I'm going to try this real soon.

But what's the difference between this and "SBC for New CM kernel!!" from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876590

My issue is that I'm running CM6.1.1-nightly-203 and when I flashed "SBC for New CM kernel!!" from the other thread I wasn't able to get ADB or USB (neither mount nor charge). I could only charge through AC but I'd have to reboot the phone for it to work, otherwise it would show charging for a second and disconnect the charger. Likewise, it only shows ADB for a split second and the USB just disconnects from the both of my PCs at home and Mac at work (meaning it's NOT a computer issue).

I don't really care about USB charging, but ADB is important to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:

Been running the 1.5.2 cfs release for a couple hours now and so far everything has been working great. Haven't had any issues with wifi cutting in and out. Also I have noticed battery improvement. Was doing some heavy usage for about an hour 20 minutes web searching, 2 five minute calls, and several txt messeging back and forth and so far only drained about 15% battery. To me that's an improvement on my phone. After trying other kernels this one has been better for me battery wise along with performance. Again great work and very much appreciated.

I am currently on CM 6.1.2, using the newest RA-Recovery, always wiping cache and dalvik at least two times.

[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
I suppose 1.5.2 is geared for Gingerbread because I still have the same wifi dropout issues with cm6. Did a fresh flash of cm6 and the cfs kernel. Wifi would die after the screen was off for around 15 minutes, and I'd be without a connection at all. It took playing with airplane mode to get anything back.

None of these problems with 1.3.4 cfs so I guess I'll stick with that until a full features gingerbread hits.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChickenArise:
It's been working well for me so far. It's running on CM7 as well as it was on CM6 with SBC before.
