Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

just recently made the jump to v48 and getting random reboots now. never had it before. Got the speed/battery patch thing too. Will try and get rid and see what happens. If the problem goes away maybe that will help someone in diagnostics or something.

Also noticed when looking around at what might be happening. It doesn't matter what I set the speed at, or change it too, it always seems to reset back to 750/500 when I look on QCPU. Never seen minimum at 500 until now. was always 250 and at occasional times 125. So even if I try to set to power kernel to 600 250 and either reboot myself or wait til it randoms (couple of hours sometimes) It always goes back to 750 500 when I look.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

device has not rebooted. rock stable for now! :)

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Uninstalled the patches and no reboots for about 1hr 30 mins. On QCPU it says what I set it to and has not moved either. Some circumstantial evidence there that power 48, and at least one of those patches, don't mix. Further testing required I suppose though.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

I've installed uboot and applied-it to KPV48, but now, on every apt-get upgrade i get that KP is going to be updated.
Is this because of uboot? If so, how can I blacklist KP from beeing updated?
Thanks.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

I read about this vulnerability in N900's FM radio driver, maybe the fix can be incorporated into power kernel:

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

i had the same issue but i have fixed it and i still have
a) kernel power 48
b) latest CSSU
c) speed and battery patch.

this is what i did:

0. revert back to an old backup prior to the current CSSU
1. remove speed and battery patch
2. remove kernel power 48
3. reinstalled CSSU
4. reinstall kernel power 48
5. reinstall speed + battery patch

no longer do i have those issues. the device is rock solid now.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

thanks droll. It's been on overnight in power 48 mode and been fine. Don't know about the patches (speed and battery). Might leave it for a bit. Didn't make a huge difference on my n900 anhyway. Don't think the battery did anything really. The speed patch in combination with the fasterfox plugin and fooling iplayer into thinking microb was an iphone browser made iplayer videos work fine. That was the main difference there.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

@kyllerbuzcut,

You mention in #1561 (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1561) that your clock settings keep getting reset to other values.

I haven't gone through the battery/speed patch thread (yet, and I'll probably never will :), but I have the feeling that some of those "scripts" may be changing the CPU clocking settings (to whatever values are fixed in those scripts).

You may want to check that..

As for the reboots.. you say KP48 is fine, so I would probably point to the speed/battery "patches" as possible culprits (or at least facilitators :)

Cheers.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

thanks for that.I was thinking the same. Thing is though it only started doing all that in last few days. so everything was fine in kp47. Only went to 48 recently.It might have even been fine before one of the last cssu updates just there too. So the scritps were doing ok before.
Maybe someone could isolate certain parts of the scripts that make video playback work better? That's the main reason for having them as far as I can see. Other people have said the battery lasts a whole day extra and things like that, but I didn't experience any of that.
I might try just the speed patch next and see what happens.

EDIT: still no reboots, so removing the scripts DOES fix the rando reboots for definite. Off to test just speedpatch.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

@kyllerbuzcut,

OK. So issue is (apparently) not related to KP48, and therefore off-topic here :)

If I were you I would completely remove any traces of any speed/battery "patch". I have actually spent a few minutes having a look at that thread and have come to the conclusion that I wouldn't touch any of those things with a (long) stick!

BTW, reboots are usually caused by activating SmartReflex (VDD1/2). There is a reason why Nokia disabled that by default. Also using low voltage profiles may make your N900 go crazy (including rebooting).

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

firstly it is on topic because it is something only occuring since updating to kp48, and was fine in 47. It's like something that changed from 47 to 48 is having an affect.
On another note, having now re-installed just the speedpatch for a few hours there is no reboots, so that looks safe on its own. Although, as a kind of benchmark I tested loading an iplayer video. Before applying speedpatch it was a bit jumpy, afterwards it was still jumpy, perhaps slightly better but not much difference. Before all this (before I removed the patches) an iplayer video was just about perfect.

Anyone else having worse video playback lately?

so, it's getting strangerer and strangerer. lol

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

coming up to an hour after installing the battery patch again. no reboots. Saw there is now a battery patch for non power users, so tested that one. Went back to the 'benchmark' test of trying to play an iplayer vid and it worked perfectly. A bit weird that the battery patch made a video run smoother, but lets not complain if it works eh? Just hoping for no reboots now.

So, to recap, looks like if you are geting random reboots, just removing then reinstalling the patches does the trick. Or, as mentioned previously there was someone who uninstalled everything and reinstalled it all again in a particular order, So if just reinstalling don't work, that method might.

PS. no funny clock speed settings changing yet either, so that is all normal (that'll be what the real problem was all along- updating power48 must have interfered with something in the script about clock settings, reinstalling seems to have fixed)

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

My phone keep on heating while on gaming or browsing... is this okay???

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Hello,

there is a lot of posts since I last read it. And I cant to watch this (now) huge thread. But I'm still working on kernel-power and here is my TODO:

* U-Boot package with my on screen bootmenu patches
* integrate injection packet wl1251 driver

I'd like to release new version when U-Boot and wl1251 driver will be working.

Now in shr uboot project on gitorious are working u-boot with on screen bootmenu and ali already wrote patches for new version of u-boot. I will try to fix problems and send n900 u-boot patches to upstream.

About packet injection: lxp (author of patches) promised that he create scripts, packages and all needed for building against kernel-power. But until now he does not do it. So I will try to integrate buidling upstream wl1251 driver into kernel-power source package.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Freemangordon and colin.stephane are contributing a lotta patches for kp49, but You probably know that from IRC :)

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Do you mind to release new version with at least dspbridge_ioctl_buffer_overrun.diff patch if you don't want to include other patches from here, as this one is critical for non-CSSU users. This patch fixes famous "Save As" kernel crash. TBH it will be best if you include all of the patches, as they seem ready and are tested by lots of users.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

I did not watch this thread so I do not know what happened. Send me patches which is needed.

And if you will use git for your changes it will be easy to integrate patches into kernel-power git repository.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

@ pali - I thought you and colin.stephane are in touch on this (patches from the link on my previous post). If that is not the case let me know, so I can clone the repo and request merge of the patches. Or maybe request maintainership as TBH the merge request cycle is a waste of time (which I lack) .

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

I have a problem.
I can't reboot my device with installed power kernel (48). :/
If I push the added reboot button in my power key menu or if I use the command "root , reboot" the phone shuts down comes to to the nokia icon and is shutting down. Other problems are that i can not boot my device if it is connected to USB or if it is loadind.
If i deinstall power kernel its working fine.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

after re-enable the bq2700, reboot loop, is it still not ok?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Looks like I can't get charge the phone anymore through USB datacable. It also doesn't get well connected to computer, says it doesn't recognize. Tested 5 different computers. It used to be good.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

wili6868, Carlito - I can't (hopefully) reproduce Your problems. It seems that You may have some sh|t installed, that interfere with kernel-power. Please try after clean reflash, without installing any other packages (well, CSSU is safe ;) ) and check if problems persist. Then, try installing other things and checking - You'll eventually find what is making trouble, cause, apparently, it's not kernel-power fault.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

When I turn off the phone and charge it with the wall connector it keeps showing me the nokia logo than the 5 dots showing up. They disappear than the logo shows up again and so on . . . very strange. When turning the phone on it doesn't charge at all.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

I installed joikuspot and it ran fine, connected to 3g fine but when i connected fine with my laptop, it wouldnt load up a page. The meter on n900 would go up a little then drop and only about 12kb would load when i tried to load up google. Ive done this code above for kernel-power v48 but didnt make a difference.

Am i correct in the way i did it:

cp /home/opt/maemo/usr/share/applications/joikuspot/JoikuSpot_Bouncer.ko

/home/opt/maemo/usr/share/applications/joikuspot/JoikuSpot_Bouncer.ko.old

cp /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power47/JoikuSpot_Bouncer.ko

/home/opt/maemo/usr/share/applications/joikuspot/

(The spaces mean that i pressed enter after each one.)

All i got after each one was:
Is this correct or did i do something wrong in xterm?

Thanks.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Have you tried to fully charge your battery with an external charger, then with the fully charged battery re-flash your phone?
If not, try that.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Yep, already did. No success.
When try to flash it doesn't recognize the phone through usb. It shows me the icon on the phone but that's it.

Pronounced dead I guess.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

I builded new version of U-Boot for Nokia N900.

Here is also builded image for kernel-power v48.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

how do you remove kernel power v47 in the multiboot list?

i want to remove it because it won't open anymore. probably because v48 is already installed.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

people i don't wanna be off topic very much
but i saw some posts about speedpatch and batterypatch

@Estel and others saying wrong facts about the patches
you said most of the reported problems by users of speed/battery patches

first of all MOST of the users uses them by now
at least i know more than 200 person

secondly
speedpatch is stable IMO and cannot cause troubles /except if something conflicted by it

thirdly
batterypatch is still UNSTABLE and may cause reboots because if the voltages inside of it
finding the most stable voltages are in progress i think

and finally

TBH !!! these two patches are effective with me
and no one please tell me that they are placebow b*llsh**

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

i totally agree with Mohammad
++ they are really effective

i just feel sorry for some people telling wrong things

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

You're just plain wrong, to say at least, but You're free to remain in this position ;)

Rationale: amount of people downloading it isn't any proof, that these settings are sane + that it does what it say it does. AFAIK no real measurements have took place, instead of plain subjective "observations". also, ther eis nothing about beta stage or voltage inside it (wtf?!) - it just contain of many uncertified, unchecked and untested "tweaks", some overlapping over another from the same package.

But, it's *not* place to talk about so called "speed/batter patch", no matter if in terms of real measurement, or in Your "fanboy" manner. If You're interested, please post in "speed/battery patch" thread.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Edit the multiboot file.
Save it and exit. Good to go on next boot.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Estel i didn't say that more than 7000 people are happy with it
cause the downloads are more than 7000 <you can check your self

anyway i said 200 people according to the number of thanks
i don't wanna go further with this

so i won't post anymore about them

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

i copied this one on xterm then it opened leafpad. there's no text or whatsoever so i don't know what to edit. when i'm attempting to save it, it appears as 11(1) as a file name. when i try to remove the (1) to overwrite the previous file, it says can't open file to write...

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Use <TAB> to complete the file name in your terminal command.

Has anyone an idea how i can fix my reboot problem caused (i think so) by power kernel?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48
 

Too smart for my own good. OK, so I finally started playing around with kernel-power, finding just the right combination of smart reflex and overclocking frequencies and under volting and everything was working great until I decided to go a little further and explore some of the local files to see what was actually happening. I never chose to make any combination a 'default', preferring the flexibility of a reboot and resetting the overclocking parameters anew. However, I did something in qcpufreq that created a default file, and I wanted to find where it was.

So, /etc/default/kernel-power looked to be the source of the default. I opened it with leafpad just to have a look, but didn't change anything. Now everything is screwed up.

uname -r shows me that kernel-power v48 is installed
kernel-power show and kernel-power load lv comes back with kernel-power not found.

So, I try to deinstall and reinstall.
apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel kernel-flasher gets me the message that reinstallation is not possible kernel and kernel-flasher cannot be downloaded. Same story when I try to do it automatically with Nokia Kernel.

Help!

its "kernel-config show" not "kernel-power show"!
