i can't think of a reason why the bt fix should interfer with network signal as it only changes one boolean variable from true to false. and this variable controlls only the bluetooth Adapter!

OK. I can confirm now that the BT fix nor Deep Idle has anything to do with my I9020T's loss of signal issue, as it happened again yesterday after an hour subway ride; I didn't have the BT fix installed and had Deep Idle OFF. Though, I was using lazy governor.

I will now switch to ondemand + Deep Idle + BT fix and test it up to next week.

Having same issues, as noted previously. Consistent across BM stock 4.0.3, GLaDOS 2.10; CM9 v3.x, stock kernel. i9020A specific radios UCKF1x seem to be part of the issue; switched to xxKB3 about a week ago and haven't had any problems. KB3 burns battery a lot faster though. I'm going to switch to a newer radio today and see what happens.

Also, I have an inkling that the Bluetooth folder in efs may be related. ICS has been quite tricksy with the efs folder.

It's definitely not a kernel issue, as it happened again to my I9020T set with ondemand governor.

My radio is KI1. I'm planning on switching to ICS 4.0.4 this weekend.

Ezekeel, said he will wait till Google pushes 4.0.4 or whatever the next asop update will be, to fix some internal ics bugs(which Google admitted they exist) before he updates the kernel again because the reboot issues hit kind of a dead end. Nobody could fix the cause of them to one patch or feature!

I will update this kernel as long as Google delivers updates for the Nexus S and my time permits.

I compiled a test kernel with the updates made to the stock kernel for 4.0.4. Try it and tell me if you can find anything that is broken.

Download: http://goo-inside.me/devs/aperture/GLaDOS-NexusS/GLaDOS-test.zip

Welcome back, Ezekeel!

With your latest test kernel for ICS 4.0.4, so far:
  • no issues after playing FLAC (with PowerAmp) for about 50 mins.
  • no issues when phone call and SMS received while music is playing with screen off
  • no issues during an 11 minute phone call

My settings: BLD / BLN / deadline / lazy / 400-1200 MHz / Deep Idle / default voltages

I'll continue testing your test kernel this week and report back if I come across any issues.

Thanks!

Okay, I had one reboot with the test kernel while my phone was in standby mode.

My settings: BLD / noop / ondemand / 200-800 MHz / Deep Idle: off / default voltages

going back to 2.10 for now.

Hey Ezekeel, i love yur kernels, so do the others. I tested your experimental kernel and it works just fine like before. But, i wanna know, is the BLX has been fixed? Cuz my charging only charged up to 96%. I wanna use this kernel again! Is so smooth! :)

Setup for today : 1000-200/lazy/deadline/DIDLE ON/BLN/BLD

Use deadline instead. I have mines set at deadline / lazy / 400-1200 MHz / Deep Idle: ON / default voltages... and I haven't had any issues after more than 24 hours of heavy use (phone calls, SMS, browsing, hours of FLAC/MP3 playing, Angry Birds Space). I'm also using brainmaster's stock ICS 4.0.4.

    GLaDOS V2.11



    The latest innovation in human-smartphone interaction. Our scientist have shown in extensive tests that humans operating our kernel on their devices experience 67% more joy in life while simultaneously the likelihood of being maimed or killed by falling space debris is significantly reduced. Also preliminary human trials indicate that it might offer some protection against lethal dosages of gamma radiation and blows to the head with a rod-like object.


    Features:
    • Based on stock Android kernel 3.0.8 IMM76D
    • CPUfreq governor 'lazy'
    • Live OC version 1
    • Custom Voltage version 1
    • Battery Life eXtender (BLX) version 1
    • Power saving state DEEP IDLE version 2
    • Touch Wake version 1
    • Backlight Dimmer (BLD) version 3
    • Backlight Notification (BLN) version 9
    • Brain **** Scheduler (BFS) version 0.357
    • SLQB memory allocator
    • Voodoo Color version 2
    • Voodoo Sound version 10
    • CIFS
    • TUN
    • Bigmem (+20 MB more available RAM)
    • USB OTG build 5

    Always make a backup of your /efs/ directory (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138873) before installing custom kernels or ROMs.

    During installation the cache partition, Dalvik-cache and modules, init.d scripts and bootsounds from previously installed kernels are cleaned.


    Source code:
    https://github.com/Ezekeel/GLaDOS-nexus-s/tree/glados


    Do not use profiles, they are unnecessary and only lead to instabilities.

    If you experience any problems and are on a nightly or kanged ROM, try the latest stable version of that ROM first. I will not give support or answer any questions if you do not try this before reporting a problem with the kernel.

    If you experience stability problems like reboots, freezes, FCs and SoDs and you did OC or UV, first try changing back to the stock settings. If this solves the problems, your OC/UV configuration is not stable. There are some indications that OC/UV settings which run fine at high battery charges might still cause problems at lower battery charges. So to be safe always check that your OC/UV configuration runs fine at low battery like 5%.

    I do not offer support/help/recommendations on OC/UV. If you decide to do so and your device is unstable you are on your own. Check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1335429 for help.

    If you experience the problem that the DEEP IDLE state is not properly used (according to the idle_stats), read the last section of http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18299324&postcount=1.

    When reporting a bug always include information about your ROM and hardware model. Also be as precise as possible when describing the problem. Just because a single person is experiencing a problem, it does not mean there actually is a problem with the kernel. I always wait until at least one other person can confirm the issue before I look into it. So if you see someone posting a bug report, do not be shy and feel free to confirm the issue or if you do not have the problem let me know that too.

    When asking for a feature you would like to see implemented in GLaDOS always provide a link with information about this tweak and preferably also a link to the source code.

    For users unfamiliar with init.d scripts I recommend NSTools by arifhn (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1333696) for managing the various tweaks.

    In other news, I've had the "sleep of death" twice now while charging overnight.

    No overclock, stock voltages, lazy governor, deep idle enabled.
    The first time screen off max freq was enabled.
    The second time screen off max freq was enabled.

    Is this likely to be a problem with lazy or deep idle?

    Next time this happens try to login with adb shell. If that works it is not a SoD, but a problem with the ROM. See the previous posts on this topic in this thread.


    Ezekeel, what will be the next phone, you are going to buy ?

    I am currently very satisfied with my Nexus S running GLaDOS. I do not play any fancy 3D games that need a better CPU/GPU and for all other tasks my Nexus S performs just great with an exceptional battery runtime. And since switching my phone would mean leaving you guys without support for my work, getting another phone would mean buying a second new phone just for development. And I simply cannot afford that. Probably my next phone will be the Prime successor released in a year or so. So until then you can count on me maintaining and upgrading my work for the Nexus S.

    Ezekeel, will you do an 4.0.4 source update? maybe reboot issues will be fixed :)

    I will update this kernel as long as Google delivers updates for the Nexus S and my time permits.

    I compiled a test kernel with the updates made to the stock kernel for 4.0.4. Try it and tell me if you can find anything that is broken.

    First test version of GLaDOS for ICS is ready.

    Implemented so far:
    - BLX
    - BLD
    - BLN
    - Touchwake
    - Lazy
    - BFS
    - SLQB
    - various tweaks

    Init.d support does not seem to work properly yet. So you need to activate the tweaks manually or with some script manager.

    It boots and everything seems to work fine so far, but I have not made any tests.

    Need some sleep now. More tomorrow. Good night.

    BFS version: http://www.multiupload.com/GL0CEDXP78
    CFS version: http://www.multiupload.com/5NGEWRBY76
