I wonder why an update would occur without any commits attached to that update? Like #146? Why would anyone update without a true nightly update?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Its an automated machine. Unless the system busts (which happens) it automatically produces one a little after 1 a.m. eastern time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
cool.. now I know.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
Are there any Apps that control the UV that are free? I know that voltage control is only for galaxy s devices. Also if anyone has noticed that if you reboot the phone and go into setcpu the scaling shows 806 mhz and 245 mhz, but right on top it shows 1024 instead of 806? And when I set the scaling to 806 again, then it shows 806 mhz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
If you want UV, flash a kernel that undervolts.

As far as SetCPU goes, the first slider just shows what the max and min total frequencies can be. Profiles can restrict it lower than that if you have them. Why are you using SetCPU specifically? Have you checked the CMSettings CPU controls? I'm not completely sure what the problem is here maybe I'm not understanding ur question.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
1024 is the default speed in CM now. But for some reason they left that frequency out so once u change it...u cant set it tob 1024 again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
Wow, I think this has been the longest I have ever gone without a reboot:cool:

Did a full superwipe g2+ before installing nightly 146 but still have the gps lock loss with Google Navigation.

Interestingly enough, even Google Maps won't lose the gps lock

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
So theres no need for setcpu while using the stock cm7 kernel? Also does the stock kernel include uv?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Is that minutes or hours listed? What does that translate into days?

Im assuming your not installing any nightlies, so what are you using for your daily driver?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Im only guessing, but after doing everything you've done, and with no success, it must be a hardware issue.

I know many folks researching xda, turnng their G2s over to either T-Mobile for a warranty replacement or straightforward purchasing a new phone because of things like their screen will loose the touch feature or a power button issue, or some other hardware issue. It looks like your G2 drew the short straw of luck.

Sorry to hear it.

Does it work on a completely different rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Its not hardware when its only one app that has that problem and when countless others experience the same issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Exactly! Google Maps Navigation is the problem. Maybe it's a conflict between it and CM or maybe with another app, but it's definitely Google Maps that has the problem. No other software I have tried has ever lost a GPS lock like that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Yep. Only navigation and only on CM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
The CMSettings CPU setup allows you to choose min/max CPU speeds and what governor you want. The only reason why you'd want SetCPU is if for some reason you'd want screen off profiles or something. I personally haven't used SetCPU in so long and havent noticed any difference in anything.

I don't think that the stock kernel is UV. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
The CM kernel is undervolted when compared to stock, but it does not support voltage control through an app.

I honestly don't see the need to tweak the voltages anyway. It's already set up pretty good; and I get stellar battery life as it is. Tweaking another 5 minutes out of my battery isn't worth the effort to me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
The stock kernel IS undervolted, but not by much. Cyanogen tries to comform to the least common denominator and won't deviate much from stock. Some kernels like pershoots are much more dramatically undervolted but still considered safe for 99% of users. Later ill post the voltage table of CM vs pershoots for you guys to compare.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Thanks for clearing up the UV deal. I knew it wasn't drastically undervolted if at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Pershoots voltage table: (go to line 150)

https://github.com/pershoot/vision-2635/blob/master/arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock-7x30.c

CM voltage table: (go to line 126)

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/htc-kernel-msm7x30/blob/android-msm-2.6.35/arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock-7x30.c

So basically, CM at 806mhz has a voltage of 1100V, and pershoots is 1.17Ghz at 1100V.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
What about stock kernel? Would it be possible to find out about it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
It won't be too different than cyans, but you could probably find it somewhere in HTCs developer page or its sources. And I know for sure there is a terminal command you can run that will list the speed and voltage but I can't remember lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Not only does it work on a different rom, it works fine with an early enough CM7.1 nightly! I have a nandroid from 5/21/2011 where it works fine =/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I noticed recently (i'm on the latest nightly) how my screen timeout settings have gone away. They were set by stock, and my screen would darken and 'bleep' out after some time if I don't touch it. Well, last night I paid attention to my phone, and my screen wouldn't go out. After looking into settings, I see that the "screen time out" settings doesn't have a setting selected.

I also seen this same issue with CyanogenMod CPU governor built in. I never ever changed my CPU settings, my phone always ran at its stock 800mhz.. So I was shocked that it was humming at 1002mhz (with NOTHING selected). I abruptly changed it back to 802mhz.

In other words, these nighties may sometimes change the stock settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
Does anyone know if the stock cm7 kernel has uv?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] glazehound:
Did you read the previous 2 pages? This has been covered!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
How'd you get 1.0 ghz?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
It seems like the table of available frequencies is messed up in CM7. If you do a fresh install you will get 1GHz as your stock speed, as soon as you change it the 1GHz speed is gone unless you have a different kernel or flash a fresh CM7 bud again.

Also to the person talking about stock settings changing, I have also noticed this on occasion. Looking through CMSettings you'll find little things here and there that change without your knowledge.

Will disabling the surface dithering in the performance settings help in speed as well as battery life?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
It will theoretically help in speed (honestly for our powerful phones, probably not noticeable. It was noticeable on my old HTC Hero), and may have a small (probably minimal) positive effect on battery life. You will be able to visually notice it though, and as soon as I tried disabling it I couldn't stand it. The dithering basically blends colors together to provide nicer graphic effects. It is apparent in the "screen bump glow" as well as the green background in the Market app. Visually it is similar to running your PC in 16-bit color vs 24-bit.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Simer03:
Does anyone know of a kernel or something that can allow us to change the frequency of the blinking LED light for sms, mms, etc.??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
I've seen a lot of people referencing LEDMeKnow but, the only one I'm finding in the Market isn't for our device so, I might have the spelling wrong.

i havent flashed cm7 in about a month or so since getting my sensation. how have things been going? any new things worth mentioning? last new thing i remember getting was volume rocker to unlock the screen. i would just flash cm7 but hey, i have a s-on sensation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Updated kernel and drivers, native screenshot app, no more haptic on lockscreen if haptic feedback is disabled, screen on/off is independent of system animations, camcorder zoom, FM radio seek, etc. etc. etc.

Those are just the things I can remember off the top of my head.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
What scaling do you guys use in the performamce settings? I like conservative since it gave the best battery life on my previous phone and I assume it would be the same on the g2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I use OnDemand or Interactive. They have the fastes scaling up and back down to necessary levels under CPU load. I use these specifically because I only run at 800mhz and I cant afford to have the processor slowing down anymore than necessary.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
Do you know which has the best battery life?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Out of all the governors? Probably conservative/powersave because it leans towards keeping the CPU speed down as low as possible. You can look up the literature on what exactly each one of the governors does and how it interacts with the system (I've read through them, its pretty dry wording). Each one does something different, but several of them are similar. This is basically how they are:

conservative/powersave - tries to keep the CPU speed as low as possible to get current tasks done, goes down to min CPU often as possible. (can be more lag)

interactive/ondemand/userspace - scales up to max CPU to get any taxing tasks done, then scales back down to min. (less lag, if any)

performance - think you can figure this one out. It leans towards keeping at max CPU whenever there are tasks to complete. (no attempt at power savings)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Sounds like it's just a coincidence and it broke at the same time you installed CM. If it still doesn't work on different ROMs then it's not really CM related, is it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scholar79:
Ditto. Where are the settings?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I don't think that commit was even related to our phones. Unless our phone has dual led...in which case, I had no idea. As far as I know it is a single LED, that is why I think this commit is unrelated to the vision.

ui: led notifications: Add red option for mixable dual led

Add overlay has_mixable_dual_notification_led for devices with

dual leds that would mix up amber with red and green. The original

has_dual_notification_led only has green and amber available in

the color selection of custom led notifications. With this new

config enabled, users can choose green, red, amber, or none for

their custom led notifications.

Latest (150) up and running like a champ, with only a Dalvik wipe. Swype key invalidates, but easily fixable.

BUT I seem to be having one issue regarding screen lock. Namely, the screen never automatically turns off now. Checked setting, all good there. Not running any new keepalive apps, and this occurred directly after the flash. I think I saw some lockscreen upgrades in the changelog, but is anyone else getting this issue?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
is anyone still getting battery drain? we haven't been talking about it, and people were saying it was fixed, but it's still pretty bad for me... it started in the mid-120's, shortly before I started using Google+. I hope tonight's kernel improves the battery life.

otherwise the ROM is fantastic, in terms of smoothness and functionality. I don't use GPS much so I don't really know about that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
No drain here at all. Anything running in applications/running that shouldn't be?

Did ya check spare parts and battery usage for partial wake ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
hmm, I think I have all the usual things running. and for partial wake, I have Android System and Media as the top 2, both stretching maybe 1/8 of the way across the bar.... then I have a some others with less and less blue. is that abnormal?

which kernel do you use? the Umaro kernel used to give me INSANE battery life, especially with the manual undervolting I would do. then I used Stremline for a while. Pershoot seems very fast and smooth. but nowadays it doesn't seem to matter which I use, my battery doesn't come close to making it thru the day. I even bought some brand new spare batteries, but it is the same with them. oh well, at least I have those to pop in now :)

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Ah true, just suggestions. Nothing sounds abnormal with your partial wake stats.

I am currently using pershoots latest. Just using the built in CM CPU controls with 245 min and 1113 Max. On demand of course.

Everything is great, I didn't flash a nightly for a few days and was getting insane battery life but I just crack flashed a few hours ago lol.

I always flash the rom and leave it plugged in for a long time....and use the batterycalibration app to make sure that the battery is actually at full charge and then clear the battery stats.....unplug the charger...followed by an immediate roobot. Let it discharge down to at least 10% before charging again. Then dont flash any new roms for at least 48 hours and see how your battery life is after those 2 days.

Try it out, maybe it will do something for ya. :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
ha, those are the same CPU settings I use, 245/1113! right now I have the Umaro kernel with SCARY governor, lol. but yeah, I like Pershoots with ondemand.

yeah, I tend to overcharge mine too, and it seems to hang at 100% for quite a while, but then starts falling, sometimes even 2% at a time, seemingly. but I'm gonna do what you said about calibrating the battery and keeping the same ROM for at least a couple days. come to think of it, I haven't wiped battery stats in a while. thanks G1ForFun for the suggestions.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
AHA! I've found a workaround that I'd like someone other than me to test out.

Instead of directly opening Navigation and inputting the address, open Maps and search for the address there. Then get directions inside the Maps app for driving THEN click the Navigate icon to start Navigation.

This seems to enable Navigation to maintain the GPS lock (which brought about my false alarm earlier).

I haven't tried this with the latest Maps (out today) but that's my normal routine and I would lose GPS

I'm on the latest maps and the method is specific enough that you can't skip steps (at least I haven't rigorously determined which steps can't be skipped).

I'm pretty sure simply finding the address in Maps and immediately clicking Navigation doesn't work for instance. You have to get the driving directions first then jump to Navigation using the button provided.
