i am having this same problem too arrrghhh. Have you tested this new kernel, is it anybetter?

Of course, I'm on it right now. That was my feedback on this kernel... this is meant for testing, so test away!

I have my feedback, the whole point of this thread is to get feedback from others, thanks!

Can't fairly compare battery life from my last kernel, but did have two delays waking up. The 1st delayed 20 seconds before waking up, don't know if I touched the panel; the second took about 10. Hopefully it's the timing issue.

So far so good. Been running for about 6 hrs with light usage and 45% battery depletion. I'm OCing at 614mHz. With deep sleep and I havent't touched the phone for a while, I usually double click the power button and it wakes up 90% of the times. On sleep where I haven't touched for a short period, it wakes up with one click. Since the "double click" works really well, I now have a habit of double clicking/pushing the power button to wake it up.

Recursion, try double clicking on your power button when waking up the phone.

ndno: I didn't know there was a deep sleep or a related doubleclick. I'll try it out...thanks! Btw, which OC are you using?

Yeah, sometimes when it's in deep sleep (solid green led), I can't wake it up with just a push of the power button; I found that if I push it twice, most of the times I'll wake up the phone successfully.

For OC, I use 614mhz (acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=614400). It's a nice balance between stock (52

and the super fast 700+. Stock is too sluggish for me to have a nice experience; 700+ is great but drains the battery faster. If battery life is not a concern for you, use the 700 or more to get a wonderful smooth experience; I've used it and it's pretty amazing... there may be some stability issues but the kernel is getting better and better each day so it's more stable than before.

Update: I've been using this kernel for 8 hrs now without SOD or restart to winmo. Mainly using tapatalk, a few texts, a few calls, reading the news app, running the stock quotes app, and watching a couple youtube videos. Pretty solid thus far

Update again: this kernel is snappy! Everything seems smoother. Got quadrant scores in the 585-605 range with 614Mhz OC.

Hey arrrghhh, is wistilt2's kernel source available for public downloading? Does he have a branch off the linux-msm tree, like viruscrazy?

Ok, just tried the doubleclick & I see what you mean. 1 usually wakes it up over here but sometimes it takes 2.

Thanks for the input on OC...acpuclock is it then. I'll check it out!

I'm finding this build very smooth too, with battery life being the only less than awesome item. I am spoiled by Vin's work on the winmo side...so, I have about 50% drain in 3-4 hours of medium use. But I did use GPS and data.

I also noticed that when charging, the battery seems hotter than I'm used to. Is this typical?

Nope, he only has a local repo.

Yea, GPS/data does kill the battery. We also desperately need a fixed battery meter, the more I try to get accurate battery readings the more I notice how off the dang meter really is.

As for charging, I'm not sure why it would be hotter with this kernel. I have noticed the battery does get very hot when charging in Android, doesn't happen in WinMo. WisTilt2 and Jonpry are rewriting the battery code, only good things can come from that.

Glad to see you guys are having such good reports from this newest kernel! Hope to narrow down and squash the remaining failed panel wakes. Thanks again for the reports guys!

Update: very good battery life with this kernel. Went to sleep last night and awoke by my tp2 alarm this morning: 8 hrs and only 15% usage. I don't disable data at all. Recursion, I disable gps on mine so that's maybe the reason I get better battery life on mine. Yeah, you're not going to get the same battery performance under Android (at least not yet) as that using Vin's ROM. It's getting a lot better so I have been using Vin's Neo half the day and FRX04 with this kernel half the day.

Recursion is right, it gets pretty warm while charging if the phone isn't in sleep mode when I start to charge it. If I force it to sleep (push the power button) while charging, it's not warm. It's almost as though it won't go into deep sleep automatically if the charging is happening unless I force it with a push of the power button.

Very happy with this test kernel thus far.

I was comparing this to WinMo, sorry about any confusion. Yeah, the heat from charging may be related to the battery code. Last night's test gave me this: as soon as Android told me battery was 100% charged, I rebooted to check in WinMo, which told me charge was 80%. Also, I noticed that Android didn't stop charging when the battery level got to 100%, it took an extra 15 mins or so.

I've got GPS and App Sync disabled, but I've been noticing weird LED behavior today: it'll go green (sleep), then quickly (1/10 sec) toggle between orange and green about a dozen times before stopping on either one. I did OC, which I'm about to remove to see if things change.

8 hours-->15% is good then. Okay, my baseline was Vin's NEO, which is clearly an unfair comparison at this stage of FRX04's evolution!

Yeah, GPS & auto-sync are disabled over here. I'm going to fully charge under WinMo & test. Will test battery life on a sleeping TP2 with good signal strength, and GPS and Sync disabled. Oh, the heat...like I mentioned above, I'd guess the battery code has something to do with that.

Do either of you guys have a native Android device? If so, how hot does it get when charging?

Edit: Just checked again. Connected to PC via USB. Droid says ... "charged" && WinMo says 80%.
