Faux123 kernel affecting wireless charging? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows a setting in the latest kernel (008-tbm) that affects wireless charging. I am on stock ROM with only this kernel installed. Wireless charging worked fine until I installed this kernel, so I know something is goofed up with my kernel settings. I'm UV -12.5 mV global

Why the hell are you asking this in nexus 4 GENERAL? When there is a thread for this kernel in Original development.. Sigh

he doesnt have enough posts to post in the development sections.

Thank you for clearing that up for him. I hate posting stuff because everyone has to be an @$$ about helping out. If you don't want to help just move on, I don't want to hear how stupid I am just what I can do that I haven't thought of. Thanks

I'm on his 008tbu and have no issues with wireless charging.

try raising your voltages, undervolting can have create such issues. every device is different in what it likes and dislikes.

OK thanks for the help guys. I'll try that right away. Right now it'll show as charging for about five minutes and then for some reason will stop.

OK I tried that and it didn't work, I'm using the intellidemand governor and all of the rest of faux123's recommended settings. My CPU bin is nominal if that helps any.

Why do you even care? It mean that much to you?
Posts like yours are more annoying than the original threads.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

you should try a different kernel, just to make sure. it takes seconds to flash a kernel, so that shouldnt be an issue. if it works fine with another kernel, then the issue is the kernel. if the same issue persists, then its your rom or device.

Posts like this make me believe that Reddit & Rootwiki users are right, about the attitude of many XDA users..

unfortunately, many reddit and rootwiki users arent any better.

Yeah I'm on faux's kernel as well with no wireless charging problems. There's a good chance that it might be stopping because your battery is getting too hot. Do you have daydream enabled? Does your phone feel hot when charging?

Yeah I just got it working for about 30 minutes and my phone is super hot. It's never been this hot before so I'm gonna try a new kernel and see what happens like someone said earlier to narrow it down if it's the kernel for sure

What charger are you using? Some do not work well with the N4.
I have used several different kernels and none have affected the wireless charging. My phone gets up to 41°C while charging wirelessly so getting hot is not unusual.

I'm using the official nexus charging orb from Google play. I just flashed a new kernel and wireless charging seems to be back working. I'm gonna give it another hour just to make sure before I make any assumptions

One weird thing I did notice though is that on faux kernel I could not UV past -50mV without my phone rebooting, making my lowest clock of 384Mhz at 850mV. However I'm on harsh kernel right now and it shows that my lowest clock is at 800mV stock without any adjustments and is working fine. Would that make any sense? I know the governors could possibly be more or less harsh on the battery but shouldn't the failure value resulting in rebooting be the same no matter what governor or kernel you use? I'm by no means an expert as to why I'm asking

Is not unheard of to not be stable at the same voltages with different kernels. Also if you were using one of the kernels with turbo boost your chip may have needed a higher voltage for the higher frequencies. Or not, I don't know lol.
Glad your charger is working now. I like Harshes kernel.

Overclocking

Im running CM7 with HighLeakage Glitch kernel.
When I'm plugged in to the charger, and Overclocked to 1.4GHz, my phone gets very hot. Should I lower the volts or the frequency?
And overclocking, if done right, wont damage the hardware? Like if their was not alot of heat?
Could I run 1.4ghz without so much heat? I have undervolted it -50mV volts.
Is it the high leakage?
What should I do?
Any input would be appreciated.

My phone runs really hot when using I heart radio and charging it at the same time...i'm also clocked to 1.4...since you are running overclock anything is possible but Samsung put code in their latest release for 1200mhz so I would say that is safe...also high leakage does emit the most heat since it is the least efficient..try running medium and low with the same overclock...it may help with heat

its too late this time, but remember that you can use the command 'reboot recovery' in adb to avoid having to do a full odin in most cases. I made a guide about getting adb up and running for noobs. You can find it in my created thread history.

there should be an entire explanation on what the different leakages mean. it'd be nice to read rather than guessing

Just a heads up, if you ask in our threads, then a developer can actually answer your question, as opposed to the users trying to help you. Especially since this is the third thread you've started with questions like this, almost all of which are answerable in my thread.

New maps update?

Has anyone heard of this or downloaded it? Its apparently just for *bug fixes* I wonder if this fixes some of the map draining issues.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
There is no "battery drain" with the app itself. What you are seeing is the location services. It shows up as maps in the battery monitor.
The more location services you have activated, the more you will see battery usage.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yea I know that but even when I had maps and Google now active on my old Gnex my battery life wasn't hit anywhere near as bad as it is on the N4. I'm sure many can attest to that. That's why I was wondering.
Could it be more do to the os running on the N4 different than the nexus?

It's the way the kernel is developed. When you touch the screen on stock kernel, it ramps up the frequency to 1000.
And some people saying that min freq is 1000 and max freq is 1500
I've haven't noticed much difference between the gnex and N4 with maps usage. I have noticed that turning off latitude and "report from this device" drastically lowers battery usage.

Oh really well if that's the case do you think that would he fixed in a software update? Cause I'm gonna stick to stock right now till more ROM development matures.

Well that was the first thing I noticed when I was using it. The maps would drain and GPS would get stuck and still gets stuck on with certain apps. So I just turn off and force close maps now and my battery is much better. Not great but better.

Kernel help.. Please.

Alright. My first post of course is a question. Lol. But first off gotta say thanks everyone especially all the devs. Awesome work guys. Well to the reason of this post. I just traded my note 2 for a brand new. Unopened nexus 4 16gb. And i got it rooted and running
Aokp mako. With fauxs 123 kernel. But anyways. Either inset cpu or the performance tool in main settings the kernel is getting stuck at min 1026mhz. Ive flashed three different kernels so far. A was originally on revolt rom. Did super clean installs and all. Im very familliar with samsung, and the rooting and some tweaking. But not no coding. Any help would be great. Loving the phone by the way and way too any good roms to choose from. Haha.

That could be a bug with the ROM. I would try using an app to set the CPU frequency and see if it sticks.

I tried set cpu and cpu tuner aswell. If i set a screen off profile to dumb it down it works. But with screen on it wont go down.. Thanks for the reply.

Kernel refer

Can you refer me to a kernel that's out of the box ready to go? To be honest I am pleased with the stock kernel, which i am using, but I want a mod to make the in ear headset volume louder and supposedly I can't do that on stock kernel. So I need something close.
When I look through faux and Franco threads I get overwhelmed with all the settings and interfaces talked about.
Another thing is I like stock Google colors, not the darker ones a lot of the devs have been updating to.
Thanks

Go with Faux To the best of my knowledge if you flash Faux's kernel you retain stock Google color presets until you choose to tweak them via Faux's kernel management apps (you can also revert to Google presets via his app after experimenting with colors yourself). He does have an enhanced stock kernel if you want to keep as close to stock as possible.
As for volume or speaker settings he's got you covered there as well--check out his apps on GPlay. You don't have to feel overwhelmed because he does provide you with "recommended" settings on the various sliders & knobs within the app interface. And the enhanced performance & battery life you'll get is just gravy. Good luck!

With either Franco or Faux's kernel, no need to be overwhelmed by all the settings. They work just fine using the default settings out-of-the-box, and you can just change the settings that interest you.
Use Franco kernel. It's been amazing so far. Everyone is impressed with battery life and all. You don't need to mess with the settings. Just run as is.

i understand that uv/oc messes with phones and tablets in the long run but will just flashing a kernel effect it also?
No. Absolutely not.

If anything, some kernels could probably be better for you.
Thanks allot both of you guys. I've been going from phone to phone flashinshing cynagonmod on almost all of them. Till I finally got a nexus 4 but was not so happy with battery. But will be flashing a new kernel. Also I'm running pacman ROM on it so and vice for kernels??????
