The only similar experience I've had was with intellisyncd (Nokia Messaging) going crazy after a disconnection (nothing to do with CSSU or kernel, obviously). My solution was to kill it on ifdown.

I will try but I dont use Nokia Messaging

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel
 
I upgraded to 49 and no text messages now. Keep getting Yellow Bar across the screen with message:
"Unable to receive or send new messages.
Device storage full.
Remove data to free memory."

The screen will not turn off (standby) with that message on screen and the text message I tried to send is not in the "Conversations" app so I cannot stop this without a reboot of my N900. If I clear that message it returns moments later and turns the screen back on.

I am certainly not out of storage
Nokia N900 = 2.45GB available
Memory Card = 29.71GB available
Memory for installable applications = 1.13GB available.

Bingo! Confirmed, that installation of busybox-power cause "mysterious" ancient_legendary_epic_f****n "shutdown instead of reboot" bug (courtesy of don_falcone, he did tests). to be more precise, combination of kp + cssu + busybox-power does. No testes were made without CSSU or KP, but KP + CSSU alone doesn't cause this issue.

I'm sure, that iDont will fix it ASAP - still, any info about possible "why it happen" may be helpful, so feel free to posts Your finding here:

Then I have some funny message for you
KP49 + CSSU_T + Busybox-power+ sudo reboot = just rebooting normal

edit: Almost normal then: when hildon-home was loaded got a message: Warning: A unexpected reboot occured. Your custom kernel settings were NOT loaded.

Sorry if someone has write this before...
But how should I overclock with Kp 49?
With same profile as I had with 48 it doent look correct. It only set max mhz to 720 before it was 1000mhz

This time you were way too quick. I wrote that while still running on original busybox 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5 the device doesn't reboot.

ive had the reboot problem on and off for about a year with and without bbp, kernel power, cssu thou i belive it was around the cssu time that i stopped trying it because it allways just turned off or kinda rebooted to the multiboot screen or nokia screen depending on keybord open this isnt a new bug to me

hi guys,

after update to kp49 my battery consumption gone wild...
the cpu usage seems to be very good...

http://www.id-t.at/data/kp49.png

any help, tips or hints? ( maybe the battery lifetime reached? )

btw. powertop seems to be good:

Can't help you man. I recently upgraded form KP48 to KP49, deinstalled speedpatch and batterypatch prior to upgrading, and my conclussion is that it handles very well battery consumption.
It's quite close to what I used to get with batterypatch (which brought me better battery life at that moment).

It's not a general issue, so try to find what's different on your device.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel
 
hey, nice that my info about busybox-power is somewhat helpful
my problem about having kernel-power48 and kernel-power49 is kind of resolved by myself - it looks there's no modules dir for KP48 - so almost no cleaning needed

keep the work awesome

PS: there was an offtop about advancement of my knowledge and abilities. So I'm rather advanced on computers (know all basic usage, some advancement usage and some of programming), but I'm quite new to unix type operating systems (such as linux and BSD), so I have most basic abilities, and some of medium/advancement that was either similair to my previous knowledge or was just handy that it would be sorry to not acknowledged and used

I assume you tried a reboot? I ones had the issue that the battery was almost empty overnight, without significant CPU usage. After a reboot it didn't return.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel
 
to be honest, I saw Your post, just haven't commented, cause I have no idea what may be causing this, or if it is in any way related to bug we're discussing.

Common sense tells me, that Your reboot may fail in earlier part (before it's "finished" properly, so device act as it's unexpected), but it's pure assumption.

Yes exactly what I thought, but don't think it's strange that my device does reboot while most of the other have issues and the device just shuts down...

This bug is really legendary :mad:

hi,
i have tested my device after a power-cycle (with battery removal).
the results are more than depressing. i can't say that kp49 is 100% responsible for this.
so if it's so, sorry for off topic, but maybe someone can help me to get a working device back.

i have charged my device till 19:00, the battery lasts till 04:00
9 hours in offline mode with obviously no cpu usage and no usage

what the hell is going on with me device?

Well, for me the KP49 is the best version at the moment on battery life.

And I've played all versions until this.

I can get 2/5 days of barely use, wifi and 3G powered off most of the time. For example, I recharged the device late night on monday and I'm on 23% of battery charge remaining.

In my case was KP48 the battery beast. So far that I had to go back to KP47 and upgraded from it to KP49 where I am so happy.

Running kp49 without issue. Don't forget to do your apt-get upgrade folks.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel
 
Don't forget to *not* use apt-get upgrade, as far as You want to keep any custom-installed packages (i.e. 720p video recording/playback from freemangordon). Just update manually, what is needed to be updated.

You can also use the dpkg --set-selections for holding packages, e.g: (as root)
dpkg --set-selections << EOF
camera-ui hold
libgdigicam-gst-camerabin0 hold
libgdigicam0 hold

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel
 
hi guys,

some people have big troubles with kernel-power-settings

with kp-settings three processes stay always ON ( per, core, iva2 )
so the battery drains very fast ( 8 hours from 100%-0% )

You will notice while the results are not that significantly different, there is a shitload more DMA activity and IRQing going on when kp-settings is installed. While the CPU is not hammering some hardware on the N900 is. Notice the extra 100% ONs in the power domain table for with kp-settings.

There is an ancient bug in kp-settings. I had issues with kp-settings since version 26. I never figured out why it caused all these wake ups I just know in some circumstances it does.

have someone an idea what can be wrong with the kernel-power-settings? i would really like to use kp-settings, maybe someone can fix it?

with kp-settings:

There is an ancient bug in kp-settings. I had issues with kp-settings since version 26. I never figured out why it caused all these wake ups I just know in some circumstances it does.

Maybe not 100 percent related, but those aren't Your words - You just copied and pasted parts of vi_ posts from other thread. While it does not invalidate report itself, I think it's better (and more fair), to mark quotations with proper credits, especially, that You're mixing it with Your own findings and requests in-between. And it make people think really *You* got issues dating from kp-settings 26 (in fact, it seems that You haven't had N900 then), which may result in directing questions to You, that should end up in vi_'s "box". Not to mention using language and terms quite out of line for Your actual knowledge/understanding of what is going on here. No offense in this last sentence, just preserving "quality and assurance" of discussion here.

muhahah, estel, you are the man!! :rolleyes:

it's correct, that all the credits from my posting #2397 in this thread are going to vi_, we have discussed the issue in an other thread within 40! replies
why reinvent the wheel? i hope and i think so, that vi_ is not angry about my procceding!

without vi_ i had not come to the idea, that kp-settings fu*k my battery up!
it's fact that kp-settings cause massive problems, and the question is why?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Devel
 
After a few days of tests and reboots i think i have found something....

There are many posts of people using kp49 without any battery issue...

In the meanwhile, there are many others asking why kp49 drains the battery a lot faster if compared to kp48...

Observing my N900 i have found both of the situations, BUT.... WHEN?

When the battery drains fast, the cpu is always at full clock or remains locked on an high clock profile never changing from that value also if the is apparently there is no load.
Very often, also rebooting, the situation does not change.

In other situations, same phone, same profile (usually i use the "default" one) there is almost no drain and the batteryeye draws a orizontal line.

So what changes?

Look at dmesg... if you can find a
"DSPTrace DSP MMU FAULT "
the battery drain will be like a waterfall!!!!

Many times, also during the boot process you can find that error.
If you start with that, you can be sure, say bye bye to your battery....

If you start the phone without errors, and the battery drain is ok, if while playing media file or running something a DSP FAULT message appears on dmesg, from that moment the cpu will remain locked at an high clock and the battery drain will go to the stars!

Any suggestion or confirm to my teory is welcome!



Thanks to all for this great comunity work and forum!
