Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Interesting, I don't think anyone has investigated radio differences very closely. I know the HD2 folk have to run a very specific radio or else they have issues. You might be on to something, I'm on 2.32, haven't changed in forever...

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

I was 2.37 when I first started playing with FRX, and did have issues. I moved over to 2.32 about the same time I stopped having issues (just recently). I think there might be a connection here. FRX has never been more bomb-free since I've been on 2.32.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Hmmm..., I'm on 2.37 (from Jan 3. Vin's Neo ROM) and I haven't had an issue for all of last week. I'm on jonpry's SCBS kernel now and it's been solid. Thanks for the heads up; if I start getting stability issues, I'll flashed back to 2.32.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Getting no sound on video recordings. Anyone else having this issue?

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

This issue is completely unrelated to this kernel. Please, this test kernel is meant to address specific things - unrelated things should go in the build thread. This is a known-issue for video record however - only certain phones exhibit the issue, I don't think a pattern has been identified.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

I haven't tried jonpry's SCBS kernel...solid, huh? I've been very pleased with 4.2.11 & I'm gonna breakdown & slap 4.4.11 on cuz I'm bored! Was hoping another kernel would get released before I got the fever.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Yep, pretty stable with his kernel. The only drawback is that if you're used with the fast panel wake with this kernel, it's gonna be slower in jonpry's test kernel; I sometime have to wait up to 5 seconds before it wakes up; most times, it's 1-2 seconds before it wakes up after a deep sleep. I hope jonpry's patches and wistilt2's patches get pushed to the mainline kernel git tree soon so we all can benefit from it.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

WisTilt2's patches have been submitted AFAIK. The devs are just hashing out how to integrate at this point.

Jonpry's work has some big implications - lots of stuff will need to be changed to properly integrate scbs. It'll take a little while before his stuff can be integrated methinks.

Not to say I'm not excited to see all this stuff merged - there's a TON of testing crap out there at the moment!

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Hello!

I have issues with radio too. Did you got back only with radio driver? I would go back with radio too, but don't know how. Could you explain?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Go back to the TP2 forum and search for updating the radio, same as flashing a winmo ROM (there's even a stickied thread specific for radios...). This thread is only related to the latest testing kernel so if you have a question on flashing a winmo radio, which is what they're referring to, your best bet is to post it in the winmo section, not android.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Hmmm..., his carrier is "Orange Romania". Don't know what/where (I guess Romania) that is but I doubt if he should use any of the Sprint or Verizon radio firmware. Looks like he has a RDOD500 though, which is Verizon.

Biroka, are you using your phone in GSM mode? The radio firmware mentioned by Recursion is for CDMA and is for Sprint or Verizon only.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

As stated, post in the regular TP2 forum & you'll get your answers. As also stated, be careful that you're flashing the correct radio for your phone, otherwise you might BRICK your phone.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Yeah I saw that after I posted, not too sure since it's a VZW phone that he is prob using unlocked on GSM.

and as far as radios, just flashed back to winmo and I'm on 2.32 which is the radio I've been on for at least the past 6+ months if not longer and was still having issues with the airave. Things were better since using the test RIL but I've given up on that for now, so I'll see how things are with just the kernel and the airave.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

You should hop on IRC more often. I find myself constantly thinking of things I need to ask you/talk to you about :p.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Gimme a bit and I'll jump on.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Hmmm... voice comm on my TP2 the last few days have been very flaky; I have a lot dropped calls and failed calls. Data works fine though. Never had this problem. Went back to WinMo and same issue. Only thing I can think different is using jonpry's SBCS kernel and leaving it charged overnight a couple times.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Or there's people chopping down towers with axes in your hood.

If WinMo is the same way, not an Android problem mang... I haven't had this experience.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

OK, I must have done something wrong to my phone. I believe I ran a PRL update last week. For those on Sprint, what PRL version are you guys at? I'm at 60677. I know with Vin's ROM, you can go back to a previous PRL version; any chance anyone knows where I can find an older PRL version? With exception of the NAND thread, this forum is like a ghost town... so I'll just post off topic stuff, ;) j/k.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the PRL thread here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-...23-2011-a.html. I'm going to go back to the previous version... Seems like my TP2 went south with voice comm after the PRL update last week.

Repository of the old PRLs here: http://cid-eabe29f3770d8d15.skydrive...x/.Public/PRLs

EDIT: OK, I'm back to 60675... will see if it's better.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Sprint (Boost), just checked and I'm running 60675.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

I have a Verizon TP2 phone and using it in GSM network. The problem is since kernel htc-msm-linux @ 20110214_200559, including this one too. When the phone goes to sleep, it turns off the radio signal.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

New kernel guys. SCBS is now integrated ;).

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Thanks for the update. Sorry to be a newb but... what's SCBS? ;)

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Read the first post about what this new kernel does. SCBS is a battery meter app that Jonpry started a thread about, using it per Jonpry's instructions will improve our battery meters being a lot more accurate. Grab the kernel, read the entire first post, then head over to Jonpry's thread about SCBS and you'll be golden.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Will do. :)

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Thanks fish.

As always, the information you seek is in the first post :p. If it's not, then I haven't done my job right!!

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

And here I was thinking I was usually so good about RTFM! Sorry guys but thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

Heh, I usually tell people to refer to the first post with my updates. Perhaps that was my folly ;).

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't stand the long wake on his test kernel ;)

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

I appreciate you trying to take some of the burden off my shoulders. However, it should go without saying that the first post will be updated to reflect changes. Now, if you hadn't updated the first post, THEN it would be your fault. ;)

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

Very nice! Thanks, thanks, thanks!! :toothy7:

Running smoothly since DL'd. I had just re-generated my data.img file before this kernel, so I'm starting fresh.

Side note/question: What's the deal with data.img getting corrupted? Is the corruption exclusive to SD/haret? If we're on NAND, is corruption still an issue? I was about to start NAND testing on my other TP2, so any input would be greatly appreciated... (oh crap, perhaps wrong thread, eh?). :)

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

I've not had a corrupted data.img file in a long time. Are you jumping from build to build and trying to reuse yours? Unless your just doing these incremental updates from Wistilt, I would pretty much start from scratch with a new data.img file.

If you are saying that you are getting a corrupt file on the same build, I would suspect your sd card.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

Yea, I very rarely have to blast out my data.img - and I've actually had a few instances where it wasn't necessary.

The theory is cache gets hosed, or there's some database that gets hung. Just depends on what it is, and what the phone is doing - I've had some that the whole system just FC'd on everything, and it was just a bad/corrupt contacts db.

Hopefully the data.img issues will at least be mitigated on NAND, if not disappear entirely - on partitioned SD card builds, I think the issue has gone away.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

It's happened once (definitely), and the second time (just recently), I had some sluggishness rear its head every so often, so I just started from scratch & the problem went away. I probably installed something from market that didn't sit right.

Yeah, I'm hoping the same thing...mitigated or corrected. I'm gonna try NAND this weekend when my time frees up more. Damn work. :angry1:

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

Arrrghhh, I tracked down my previous issues with the old kernel, it was simply the battery reading too high and my overclock destabilizing things. I have had ONE random reboot over the past three days with heavy usage. Great work everyone!

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

Just wanted to post my two cents - been running the SCBS kernel for a couple of weeks now, and everything works great! Seems like the battery meter is more accurate - but still have shorter cycle time between charges than WinMo (but that doesn't bother me!).

One question - when you analyze the logs, is it a good idea to always select ALL of the logs? I've got about 12 or so of them, which makes the analysis process lengthy - if it results in a better outcome, that's fine. Just curious about it.

Gremlin

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

Yes, the more data used to calc the algo, the more accurate the algo should be - you might not need to use all 12 logs, but the wider types of drain you have the better.

What I mean by 'wider types of drain' is fast drain from watching videos, slow drain from deep sleep, low battery levels (less than 20%) high battery levels, etc. The more variance, the better the algo will be.

Obviously the more data the app has to churn thru, the longer it will take to calc an algo.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

which startup txt is good for the regular tp2? i don't have it unlock yet

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

What does this have to do with the testing kernel?

Follow the build thread, that and the FAQ show you how to figure out which phone you have. I can almost guarantee you have a RHOD400.

So... use the startup for the RHOD400.

Also, you don't need to HSPL (unlock) to run Android. Currently it runs off the SD card, so there's no flashing involved.

Please, in the future, post in the correct thread.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

Ok thanks
how do you turn off the orange led light?

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/15/11 New Kernel - SCBS Added
 

You don't.

Orange LED = full wake

Solid Green LED = full sleep

Blinking Green LED = wakelock present (something preventing the device from sleeping, like GPS).

If we ever reach the point where all sleep-related issues are resolved, then the LED can be reclaimed for notifications.
