Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

Did donavan's battery setting reset a few hours ago -- we'll see tomorrow how that helps. Right now I'm TRYING to drain the battery, so that fact that I'm down to 30% after 3.5hrs doesn't mean much. :)

Enable every connection. Bluetooth/Wifi/GPS

Set screen timeout to 30 minutes.

Stream music on pandora or something.



I'm burning this battery down quick as hell. LOL!

So as it stands right now... A2DP doesn't work on [28 OCT][MOD][ROM] Mik'o'Void (Kezvoid) Beta 1 [Android 2.3.7, .32 Kernel] - xda-developers that rom, and it still has all those little glitches that everyone's annoyed by, the delayed lockscreen and such, so if you want a better experience of it go for it a lot of stock apps i believe have been removed though, so that was refreshing. Wifi and bluetooth together does not mix, your bluetooth devices will take forever if at all to sync, (they use the same chip from what i understand/read) hence the disable wifi before pairing. Looks and runs quite smooth without an overclock, i didn't test much else. (I'm still gonna stick with the SonygenMod rom over this one.)

So the ICS themed CM7.1 rom is a bust. It seems that it freezes for me on boot. So if anyone gets it working cool for you. Its nothing special compared to the stock CM7.1.

for the ics u had to wipe and flash cm7 again and then go to CWM and then just flash the zip, then flash my kernel, yea i know its alot of steps but it worked for me.the next update will have a modified statusbar which i wanna see!

Cool, well it doesn't have a2dp so it's useless for me.

sorry but what is a2dp?

A2DP is the bluetooth support for using a bluetooth stereo headset, something that cyanogenMod hasn't updated their source for at this point in time. So i'm gonna try something it is gonna be a long shot, but if it works i'll post up my results.

Hey to those of you that know how too, would you mind posting a link to a guide to making a flashable zip? I'm wanting to flash a zip through CWM
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

I had THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I fixed it though.


I have an cheap Emerson bluetooth headset that would pair with my device, but not connect. After it was paired, I held the talk/hangup button on the bluetooth and the phone asked me if I wanted to connect with the bluetooth device. I clicked yes, and VOILA!. It works. :)


Here's a screenshot of me making a call. Remember the blue background means that ts connected to my bluetooth.

I'm trying to pair my phone with my laptop to use it as a media remote (mainly to use when my laptop is connected to a larger display). It worked with the stock kernel + rom.
However, in my attempts to get it working using Titanium Backup I seem to have broken bluetooth entirely- turning it on is grayed out in the settings. When I get the time I'll try flashing CyanogenMatt instead of SonygenMod. (It might be a few weeks...)

Can anyone shed light on the overclocking issue where the display offsets itself on the screen? The rightmost 1/4 of the screen displays on the left side. I poked around google and found that similar issues can happen with overclocking PC graphics cards. In the meantime, I'm experimenting with which clock speeds and governors are the most free of this minor annoyance.

Looking forward to future updates

Bluetooth seems to work more-or-less like it did on stock. No problems whatsoever.

One thing CM7 does that stock never did is automatically connect (sometimes) to my always-on Belkin receiver when I enable Bluetooth. On stock, I always had to go into BT settings and manually connect

Battery log reset: done.

I don't think I'm a fan of the aggressive BT implementation in CM7. Having BT constantly looking for new devices & trying to connect to them doesn't appear to be conducive to good battery life.

On stock Froyo, I just left BT on all the time, and battery was never a concern. With my minimal BT use, Bluetooth was barely on the radar in the battery usage reports.

Last night, I left my Thrive unplugged while I slept, and battery drained from 100% to ~25% overnight. Bluetooth ate up a pretty big chunk of that. Looks like I need to tell Tasker to turn BT on only when I'm attached to a power source.

I can verify the BT on standby sucking it ate around 32% of my battery when it was just sitting on my nightstand yestercday. So is this a result of CM7 or Gingerbread? and could this be fixed or will it require and act of congress to get it done?
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

ok guys the battery drain can be caused by many different ways. First what is your min. and max. clock speed? try putting the min. at the lowest it can and max at 600mhz should be fine. Then try playing with the governers as well and make sure you dont use smartassv2 cuz it doesnt work. i always have wifi on and it doesnt drain my battery like that, and last me about 19 hours. btw what rom you using?
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

Im using cyanogen MMatt v1.1 it was the only one I didnt get errors with on the first kernel you released, so I just stuck with it. I have my CPU performance setup for "on demand" with the min as low as it goes and the max at 600. After the battery stat reset I can get around 20+hrs from my phone using in normally with wifi off and on intermittently. However, as soon as Bluetooth kicks in there is a considerable power drain from it. Like I said I left my phone on all night and after 15hrs the battery was dead and after checking Bluetooth had used 32% of the power. So yes you can make the phone run slower and tweak the visuals and such to keep the power consumption down but I think the question here is why does bluetooth use almost a third of the battery even when its in standby.

BT disabled for now. After being unplugged for 6hrs, my battery is down to 75% with regular use. Considerably better than with BT enabled.

Also, I just noticed that Wifi Sleep policy is turned on by default in CM7. I just turned it off, and battery life should actually start getting better now.

Since Wifi & BT are on the same chip, I wonder if Wifi sleep had anything to do with my crummy battery performance with BT enabled. I guess re-enabling it will be tomorrow's experiment.

wow ur stilling going the first kernel? the one without wifi and gyro?
 
Re: Joban's Kernel 2.08 (Overclock, CM7 2.3.7 etc..) **Gyro Fixed

Well i just found out/tried out a new-ish version of the sony ports to P500 called gingercruzt 1.2 and i have to say that i'm gonna stick with this one, its got working bluetooth support like the sonygenMod 1.2, and has pretty much the update apps and ported apps of what runs on a sony phone running on CM7.1 (2.3.7) heres the link:

NEW GingerCrust V1.2 - xda-developers

No dice. Chewed through 30% of the battery in just 2 hours when I turned BT back on. Any ROMs out there where BT isn't so brutal on the battery?
