[Guest leszekpap]

guys...i`m now on gsfb23 ....but if new kernel was applied on cm7 then maybe this is good reason to change to cm7 ?

what is battery life ? any other bugs ?

blade is my daily phone in work so I need to have full stable .

thanks for all answers.

There is a new gsf with the new kernel now gsf 24. Ive installed it and all is very nice.

I cant see that CM7 has the same battery life judging by recent replies to this question.

Is it just me or is the phone not sleeping in patchset2 ? I can wake it with every button...

I have similar experience. No sleep even after 10 mins...

Spare parts top3 is:

Android System

Google services

Email

In terminal in top, /system/bin/akmd2 seems to be the one with the most cpu time.

Usually a reboot used to help with this issue, but now it doesn't solve it

i noticed even with patch1 that akmd2 was using a lot of cpu. i found this from a quick google, not tried it though.

my phone didn't sleep last night with patch2

perhaps the wakelock to make proximity work is not turning off after a phonecall ends? it would seem both issues are related.

[Guest targetbsp]

Err... now that you mentioned it... Yeah!

Mine awoke with a button press and is showing 100% running (2 and a half hours) in spare parts vs 0.8% screen on.

Still stays awake after a reboot. No call made.

I already tried that workaround meaning /data/delay is already set to 250 in my device.

I did that because of the former non-sleeping issues, what I think was related to screen-rotation detection.

I went back to patch set 1 for the sleeping and I have to say one thing that became clear to me, as others noted on the previous page, patchset 2 is properly fast! Going back to 2 and will keep the charger handy until 3 lol.

[Guest ufoman]

CM7 is again usable for me with the new kernel. I'm sure the device sleep issue will be resolved soon.

[Guest targetbsp]

Yeah, TomG has noted the issue now in the code review. :)

The only change I can think of that would cause that is changing the default governor to interactive. Patchset 3 may impress even more, I'm about to test it.

[Guest targetbsp]

I suspect that might well be the case. I've always just used On Demand before.

No call needed. All sensors get turned on when android boots (this is a normal part of start up on all devices), so it gets the wake lock at boot and then never releases it.

[Guest targetbsp]

Patchset 3 is up. :)

[Guest sej7278]

i'm taking patch1 and patch2 test builds off my server to save bandwidth, i'll make a patch3 build in a mo.

[Guest targetbsp]

Thanks kindly. :) I'd make one myself but I was hampered by the lack of kernel.org in recreating my build environment. :D

And I say make one myself. I don't know how you get the as yet unmerged stuff into it. Are there instructions for that anywhere?

Or is it just a matter of typing in the git fetch command shown next to download in the codereview?

copy the git command line from the 'download' section of the gerrit page.

[Guest targetbsp]

Thanks! That's easy enough. I'm used to having Windows GUI's with my source code control. :D

[Guest CaptainSpectacular]

Hope the scroling Speed will be more faster in future build, it's the real "bad" point of CM7 for me I think. (except the wavelock bug )

[Guest sej7278]

so which should we be using these days - the default interactive, not ondemand anymore? what's this smartass2 i keep hearing about?

edit: interactive explained here, seems like its more responsive than ondemand.

as far as scrolling goes, i've never seen a real issue with it, but patch2 seemed visibly faster than patch1 at that. bit of an overclock helps too

oddly enough, cwm5020 and rommanager4407 didn't fail this time!

[Guest CaptainSpectacular]

Yep, patch 2 is a little bit faster. :)

But I think it miss a little bit of smoothness to make the scrolling experience better, IMO off course.

Anyway, Sej (and Tom & others devs off course), thanks again for your work, this is what I came back to CM7. :D

yeah those people... must have in the middle of the name something like "cannot stop the development".

waiting for patch3 :))

[Guest sej7278]

Benchmark wise, interactive and smartass perform equal for me and both better than On Demand. I'm not sure which of interactive or smartass is better though.

[Guest hlubepet]

go get it (see sig)

yeah, downloading and flashing..... thanks :) (to everybody who is involved..)
