12/19: Need testers for kernel that can simultaneously battery save and overclock

[bzo]

by the way guys, my kernel is a snapshot of the latest code and there may be a power drain issue in kernels from 12/17 and on. So the main thing to evaluate in the test kernel is whether pm mode 1 is stable with overclocking.

Hey bzo my phone is completely stable with overclocking using your kernel. I set overclock to 718600 and pm to 1 and it is working perfect awesome work.

Here's my startup.txt file. I haven't really seen much as far as differences, I'm able to OC, changed pm mode to 1 and giving it a day to play around with. I've noticed it sometimes goes to sleep (green light) on both kernels, wakes up good from either, but at times it also stays on with the orange LED even though it should be sleeping (kinda like my kids, lol). But I haven't had an issue with either at this point, still trying to see what kind of batt life I'm getting on it.

As I noted above bzo, it seems to be stable, I'm OC to max, 768xxx and waking fine, no issues to note and had it on since last night, although if I had to bet, I'd say no improvement on batt life, or if there is, it's minimal in my case, but haven't given it a completely fair shot yet.

Working great for me. I'd been having SOD issues with the 12/4 kernel, both OC'd w/ sleep mode 2, and non-OC with mode 1.

Did a fresh install, ran XDAStartup w/ OC at 700k, rebooted and manually set sleep mode to 1 (and checked off Manual Startup on XDAStartup to keep that mode setting).

No SODs so far, and it does seem to be sleeping & waking properly.

NICELY DONE!

After playing with this for a few days, with my phone overclocked to 768, without a doubt my battery life is much worse than before, most likely due to whatever bug was committed on Dec 17 that reduced battery life. I'm seeing about 15% usage an hour without really using it much.

Other than that, everything is smooth and no crashes. Thumbs up!

thanks to all the testers. The patch has been pushed out so this fix will be included in kernels going forward.

Sorry to rehash this old thread, but I would like to confirm that bzo's changes from this kernel are a) in all the new kernels, like from F22/Wistilt, etc, and b) should we no longer have a pm.sleep_mode command or just use pm.sleep_mode=1 in our startups?

Thanks!

Thanks!

F22 builds from the git because autobuild is currently down. These changes were pushed a while ago, and all of his builds that are directly from git will have the patch in it.

As for WisTilt, he does a lot more experimental stuff, but I'm confident he keeps his local tree up to date and makes changes from there. That means all of his test kernels should have this fix in it as well.

As for using pm.sleep_mode=1, you do need to leave that in your startup.txt. I believe there are three modes: 0,1,2. I'm not sure what the default is off the top of my head.
