My brother and I both got Fascinates this month. Both are rooted, but only mine is upgraded to DJ05. We are both loving the phone except, both of us have a problem where the screen/phone will not wake up from sleep sometimes. It will just show a black screen, it even happened while talking on the phone today, the screen didn't wake when I got off the phone. I've done a few searches and on some other phones people suggested setting SetCP to at least one higher then the minimum when it's in screen off mode, but I just tried that and had the same issue 5 minutes later. With all the development going on, I'm hoping that someone may have found a fix for it. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? I apologize if there is another thread in the fascinate forum about this, I did a few searches, but didn't see anything.
Thanks,
Ryan
You could help yourself by stating what rom version and what specific kernel you are using. And if you are using a task killer and or power managment app.
good day.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. We are both rooted, but my brother is otherwise running stock. No task manager, just Setcpu. I upgraded to DJ05 and installed JTs Superclean w/non voodoo and rom. But I wouldn't think that'd be the problem considering he's running stock. Maybe it's setcpu? If so is their another comparable manager for battery life that someone might suggest, I can see if that fixes it?
Setcpu offers no benefit to devices using a stock kernel only good for over clocked kernels. If the problem at hand didn't start until installing setcpu, then you have your answer. I myself do not use any power management apps so I can't speak for them.
good day.
Did you by any chance install something that adjusts the brightness of your screen?
If your running Setcpu and your having problems waking up the phone, are you running a profile for the screen off? You can't run profiles on Sammy phones, they don't like it.
No, no brightness apps.
Yes, I was running a profile for screen off and stuff. That was the whole point of Setcpu, I thought, so you could reduce it when the battery started getting low and the phone wasn't being used. Thanks for the info, I uninstalled it. I guess that's the problem. Only time will tell though. Do you know of any other reputable apps that would be similar to Setcpu?
Why not try geeks last kernel? I believe it was uv and should help battery life if that's what you're going for.
I would, but people have had some issues with them from what I hear, besides he's no longer developing them or supporting them, so sooner or later I'd be changing anyway. Maybe I'll check out juice defender.
You can keep setcpu, just don't use any profiles lol and keep it on conservative

Does it actually do anything for you though to help save battery life without the profiles?
Just because he isn't deving for the sf doesnt mean that his kernels are worse than the stock one...I use adryn's 12/17 test 2 and get amazing battery life..14 hrs at like 60-65% but it's voodoo and you will prob not want that.
setcpu will change the ramp up/ramp down speed...more time at max when you need it more time at min when you dont...i don't think it will help nearly as much as proper kernel
Hello,
I'm trying to use an app called Call Recorder. The app has an option to use two-way records, working only on custom kernel that supports this feature.
So I was trying to install Franco's kernel and it had the work done, but I found out it is KILLING my battery (very surprisingly actually). The stock kernel works great for me in battery and every other aspect.
My question is if there is a really close-to-stock kernel that supports two-way recording, and if there isn't I would be happy to have a piece of advice about a good kernel that isn't downgrading my battery level (or that is bad in any other aspect).
Thanks in advance.

First of I want to say that if you ever visited Franco's thread you know that he don't make kernels that drain out your battery. In fact the opposite. Have you tracked your app with 2 way recording could be the culprit of your battery drain? There isn't really any info from you on what you have enabled and disabled. Such as rogue apps that can eat up your memory, high voltages on top of your frequencies. Takers conflicting with each other. Basically anything conflicting with each other cause battery drain. Like CPU apps. What governor your using. Try adjusting your kernel to optimize battery life. Disable functions that you don't use. Get rid of any taskers. Android does a good job of managing memory on its own. Please do your research before you go blaming someone's kernel for your battery drain. FYI rogue apps have been known to cause wake locks so figure out what's causing that too if your suffering from that as well. 90% percent of the time its a user error on battery drain.
Have you tried this?

Hey.
You can assume, despite your habit, that I am not a complete retard. Of course my battery will drain if I change my usual activities and run software that drains my battery. You can assume that I didn't play hardcore games after installing the kernel and then go complain. His kernel, I don't care for the tech explanations, did cause me a battery drain and I can prove it. I didn't ask from you to argue about his kernel's quality but asked for advice about other one.
Your disrespectful comments won't help.
@mariosraptor, I'm sorry for not understanding how can unbricking tool solve my problem.

usually after flashing a new kernel, the battery for the first 2 cycles are inaccurate. the third cycle and after is usually much better.
I wasn't being disrespectful. Your the one who couldn't elaborate as to why your battery was draining so fast. If you knew what I told you then you would've tried all those things first beforecoming here to q n a and complaining about francos kernel. Where did I explain any of francos kernel features? Its very easy to know that his kernel is the best at battery life. I guarantee if you went on his thread complaining about how his kernel doesn't have your feature you would be met with laughter and a sarcastic response like "who has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap? Francisco Franco. How you doing?". Instead of taking my advice as a negative shot at your ego, maybe try them out and see if it improves. Honestly, I tried out every kernel in this forums and none of them that I know of support your "two-way recording feature". I don't even think its a kernel related issue at all. Since you love my advice so much I will give you one more piece. If your going to ask for a feature for a kernel, don't start off complaining about how this kernel or that kernel is the reason why your battery sucks at battery life. Not your own words but i figured that that's what a dev would see it as. You can take my responses any way you want it but bottom line. Your just another user not using his brain.instead of coming over here looking for someone to spoon feed you answers. Look for yourself. If you don't find what your looking for, be polite and request a feature instead of telling a dev their kernel drains your battery because I will tell you he may say something similar to my first response to your op. Have a nice day.
Edit: by the way, I looked at this call recorder app you spoke of. Now where does it say you need a custom kernel to enable two way calling feature. So this makes your argument invalid.

That's fine and thats a fair statement. But he was complaining that his kernel sucks his battery not to mention he was asking about a feature instead of looking for himself.. As a fellow user we are responsible for our own discretions and have to own up to our own mistakes. Isn't the whole point is to help yourself? Dont we have to search amd research and try everything before we go complaining to the devs about how their kernel drains their battery?I wasnt trying to be a douche. I believe he has been around long enough to know the procedures before asking for help. I have to ask, what kernel are you using thats giving you good battery life?

First of all, the kernel causes battery drain for ME and it's a fact that I could prove. Secondly, your advice is irrelevant because I probably wouldn't be complaining if I'd use things that drain my battery after installing his kernel (Doh?). Oh and the two-way recording worked on Franco's kernel if you didn't realize, and it doesn't work on stock. It is a kernel feature.
Anyways, it is not a discussion about Franco's kernel quality. if you don't believe that it causes battery drain for me it is your right, but it is not related to the thread (and I wouldn't "give a crap" about Franco's response to this, as you stated). The reasons I felt that your post was disrespectful are that you don't believe me that it causes my battery to drain and that you give me ways to save battery juice while I know how to do so, didn't ask for it and it is not relevant to my case at all.
If you're so smart and I can't be reasonable enough to know what's draining my battery, please take my piece of advice and don't waste your precious time on posting here at all.
Have a nice day.

Why would you need dt2w with active display as an option....and it doesn't hurt battery life. Dt2w takes a big toll on battery life as it won't run on the low voltage core.

DTw2 is cheap. Dunno where you got that. That's the point of specialized governors.
As for active display -- hopefully one day we'll get that working in AOSP/CAF kernels, but MOTO is not exactly forthcoming in their tricks.

Dt2w is "cheap" on the G2....why? Low voltage core.
Go read how it is on the N5. 2 to 3 percent battery drain on standby. And if the huge development community of the N5 can't crack the low voltage core to use for apps....I very much doubt the Moto kernels will figure it out. Its probably not possible.
Unless it runs on a low voltage core, it is terrible on the battery. You don't have to take my word for it..... You will see if/when its an option for the X.

Already read the N5 games and sources. The drain here in moto x land won't be so much about cores (imho), it'll be about keeping the touch panel alive to detect touches. Cores are easy. TPs are always another story (they take power).
Hang in brother, -- I've heard this on other devices, we've always solved it. The key is the 'it' that runs on 'a core'. Low voltage core is interesting only to the extent it would solve a particular problem. We won't have that problem because we will remove the cycles of interest by low frequency testing for touch. Still working on it, but it'll work. There's no magic in kernels, just crap-work and testing.
As for sticking the TP up for touches, surely will have work to do.
LOL -- building test #5 now, and it's still borked . Just crap-work, I'll get it working and we'll get it. Never seen something unsolvable with kernels today. Just time to figure it up.

Well, I hope you can make it not pummel the battery. But I still don't see how you'll do what oh so many N5 devs haven't been able to.
For the N5 especially, since there's no active display (for same reason....battery destroyer), dt2w is a nice feature, but only usable by those who are willing to charge twice as much as usual. So its very unpopular at this point.
Good luck tho! Maybe you can let the N5 devs know your secret if you succeed. ?

I don't wanna sound rude or anything but it's probably because AOSP rom doesn't have Active Display. Have you considered that? Otherwise i'll stick with stock rom.
But to be honest i always come back to stock. I'm a noobie with all of roms, kernels and scripts. This is my third android phone and obviously this is the most exciting.

I know why.....its how I am questioning.... Without the same battery drain the N5 gets with dt2w. The N5 has a low voltage core as well, with a pedometer... Lol....and its pretty much been found to be inaccessible for any other apps. And I imagine the same will be true of the X.
---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------
Let me explain a bit....
The X has active display and touch less control...
The N5 has an extremely useful (sarcasm) pedometer.....
The LG G2 has double tap to wake and?????....
All of these features run on a sort of low voltage core, that's why battery drain is minimal with those features on their devices. And no one yet has accessed those cores to put them to other uses. Even in the massive N5 development community. Yes, the N5 has dt2w as a feature on some custom kernels, and they've put timeouts on it now, but still its a battery hog....and less useful, since after the timeout period....you need to press power to wake dt2w again.
I was just asking the OP how he intends to solve this, or is he not worrying about the battery drain and trying to bring the feature to the X anyway, regardless of the bad battery drain.

LOL -- seriously? Of course I worry about battery -- that's the whole point. But I want performance too. We'll get 'em both. I probably won't comment much more -- have plenty to do. Hang in, it's easy to doubt as progress goes.
Hang in -- it's not an overnight game. Test #6 about done, it'll be #20 before it gets good and releasable -- at least that's my bet at the moment.
Updated 08/31/2014
Important updated kernel. See this post.
Have fun!
Hey guys! This is my first topic on XDA, so I apologize in advance if I do something wrong.
I love my 6P and since it's a Nexus, there's always some tinkering so I can make it even better and suitable for my needs. I pretty much like stock-ish ROMs with that touch of Pixel phones and I find that original Google kernel serves me well in terms of battery life and overall performance (I'm probably one of the rare dudes to state something like this). But original kernel is very limited in terms of other options custom kernels offer, like gestures, screen color control, audio boost, etc. Regarding custom kernels, I never had any good experience with battery life, even when setting the governors on powersave/noop/cfq or any other I tried.
So, I guess what I'm asking is - can you recommend me a kernel that's exactly like the Google's out-of-the-box, but with those added options I mentioned above? Or is there some way to restore settings on custom kernels to default Google's settings?
Cheers!
I keep falling back on ElementalX, it offers enough customization, and still has decent battery depending on your settings. There's a million and 1 ways to configure it. I tried other very popular, more feature rich (they have everything, plus the kitchen sink, and sometimes cupboards too), but the battery drain is just too high for my liking. Not even using the phone, and every time I wake it with one of those kernels, it's dropped another 8-10%, without being used.
I haven't tried them all though. Many of the slimmer kernels don't offer a way to disable touchboost, so I rule those out as soon as I see that.

Oh, ElementalX was my first choice too, but suddenly that too started to drain my battery quickly after a while. At first I thought it happened because of some app, but when I flashed default kernel everything got back to normal. That's why I wonder is there a way to copy those default settings and apply them to some custom kernel.
You think disabling touchboost is a big deal? Cause of battery life or something else?

You may check this thread regarding kernel governor profile customisation:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...dvanced-interactive-governor-t3290605/page471
A lot of options to choose from. EX Kernel, Flash Kernel, (I guess other kernels) support this mod using a kernel manager app.
I'm currently using EX Kernel + EX Kernel Manager + Ghost Pepper profile.
Fast enough for me. Plus it helped me saving some juice.
Depending on your usage, it takes trials and errors until you find the good kernel/config that suits your needs.
Happy reading...

Wow, I stumbled upon some other loooooong post about governors, but this one is amazing! I didn't know touchboost has that much influence on battery. I will try this out, thanks mate!
I get better battery life on ElementalEx over stock kernel without a doubt. I am running interactive with Ghost Pepper profile and touch boost disabled. If battery life is your main consideration you could try Franco's Kernel but you are sacrificing some phone performance to get the better battery life. I found the drop off in performance very noticeable but his kernel has its fans. I think ElementalEx has a better balance between performance and battery life.

Touchboost wastes battery because it boosts you to 1248000 every single time you touch the screen, and it holds it for like a second or two. It does make your phone faster, and responsive though.

Either i'm not looking hard enough, or i'm just not finding any decent guides on in-depth tweaking in kernels, what does what (with examples, because a lot of the time, only certain types of people can grasp what an explanation of a setting or value does), whether certain groups of values are synergetic (changing one value can have an effect on another value, good or bad; not using 1 setting when another setting is active), stuff like that. I took screenshots of everything in EXKM, except for the governor parameters, i didn't change what the kernel has for defaults with the Wheatley governor.

Well, you definitely have the right program, I used to think Kernel Adiutor was the best kernel tweaker of all times, so I bought it, with no additional benefit
Not long ago or yesterday, ( Lol ) I finally decided to spend a few dollars and buy Ex Kernel Manager, its very satisfying to use with its beautiful design and extensive features. One awesome feature of EXKM is the ability to save your profile to widgets so you can quickly change to a saved profile for balance, battery or speed.
Because my original X727 suffered from chip death early last month, I am hesitant to use overclocking and probably never will again. Honestly, the phone is still extremely fast when underclocking and the battery life is amazing.
Below are a couple of screenshots. Maybe later, when I have time I will make an extensive post with all of the small details or better yet someone else does it.

Well, you definitely have the right program, I used to think Kernel Adiutor was the best kernel tweaker of all times, so I bought it, with no additional benefit

lol my battery life is half of yours ;p And how exactly where u overclocking it, by changing the voltages? And yeah it's a fast phone for the money, I haven't found a game yet that it doesn't run smoothly on..
A couple things I've been noticing lately, one is fast charge hasn't been working lately even when selected. Not sure if it's the cable or the rom or what. And also I've noticed the charge times change when I flip over the usb-c connector when plugging it in..again i dunno if thats cause of the cable or if usb-c is meant to be that way

The charge speed is not static, it fluctuates otherwise it will shorten the life of the battery. The speed can be improved upon by switching the kernel. For example, Black Screen 5.4 uses the higher rate charging, it also allows you to change voltage frequencies, which I don't recommend. I fried my old X727 early last month, by simply restoring Google settings..
If you are using the stock Leeco cable, get rid of it and but an Anker cable instead. Some of the stock cables were really bad quality and quite a few people burned their ports due to faulty cables.
Concerning battery life, Right now AICP 14 has the best battery life.
It also has the new perf profiles extracted from EUI. It is my understanding (?) that this was extracted and made compatible by Max 2 developer : shivatejapeddi.
He made a comment on telegram stating that he may build a flashable zip for Zl1 that could be flashed on any rom to improve the battery life.
Lets hope, that would be awesome.

Sorry, been too distracted to reply ha. Yeah I don't mess with the voltage frequencies, just try different governors and whatnot...I don't mess with the governor settings much since somet imes it's hard for me to notice any difference , unless it's a huge one. Basically it's jsut me trying to put aside time to focus and I haven't made time, it's all jumbled with other things i do ;p
Actually I lie, I did notice what seemed to me as odd on a few things... i'll toss screenshots. What I dont get is the first boost duration under the CPU Boost at 0... also, the boost frequency, is the mhz it boosts to, or an addon amount.. and just the boost in general, input boost vs touchboost...? next there's the online core count.., max cores online for litl and big make sense, 2 each. Min core online 1, max cores online...2? with an up and down threshold of 0...how does 0 work in this case? NExt is arch_power and wq_power_saving, i've tried looking them up and couldn't find much, so not sure what they doe xactly and what it would hurt/hinder...
Zram, does it hurt to have it on and at full, 2096mb? Just as an extra ceiling, in case I do use all my 6gb, or does having it on but not using it constantly affect anything.. the TCP algorithm i've scoured and couldn't find anything about which ones are good for what types of networks, maybe only a couple of them, so i usually don't play with that since to me it'd be hard to test because of the fluxuation.
Ok that was more than I thought I'd throw out, sorry ;p There's lots more probably, but I don't need to overload mine or yours' head right now ;p
oh.. i was wondering if i posted this or not lol... wasnt sure if the draft had gotten lost or what.. anyways, i was just now going to take screenshots when i rememebred, you can just use the ones from my origianl post ha
