Thanks for the info.

Can you give me more details as to what's going on with wifi? Note that this setup might require you to go into settings and initiate a scan to make an initial connection.

Overheating can be a function of the rom - I've noticed racing cpu conditions on occasion when there are build.prop changes to lines that start with "ro.ril". Best bet is to revert those to stock and set a screen off profile in your cpu manager to limit frequency to 400mhz when off... and another profile to set your max when screen on.

I don't know much about giving you info but do a screenshot XD I will gather as much info needed asap ill research how

Good tip ill do that. Kinda used to heating.up my phone when playing at 1600 with a hardcore game I understand why but with the new kernel I'm surprosed didn't happen.

Phone running stock UCLB3 GB gets frozen and have to remove battery to reset with latest Synthesis Kernel... Do not know why. I tried all cpu versions and 1600 seems to work best but phone freezes as well.
 
Try flashing a different kernel...Entropy's DD or the Infusion-Z kernel. Both are available in the Infuse Toolkit (see link in my sig).

If you continue to see the problem it's not the kernel and next step would be to revert to stock firmware via Odin or heimdall after a complete wipe.

If, after testing a couple other kernels, you find that the problem only occurs with this kernel I'd be interested in seeing the /proc/last_kmsg file after a battery pull restart.

Thanks for the reply, yes I will try what you said. I did reflashed stock rom back with odin and it still happened with the same kernel.

does it have the same battery life as the original GB and does it have any easy widgets like the goto sleep widget and volume rockers wake phone?

running TMo WiFi calling

I am running Asianbobo15's TMo WiFi mod on Entropy's Daily Driver kernel and red CWM rooted, deodexed, zipaligned and busybox. from Jscott's
post at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613523.
The WiFi calling works great!! and it is absolutely essential As I have terrible signal at home. The mod calls for editing the build.prop file and I'm worried about the mod you did for the wifi bat drain bug that resets the WiFi interface. Do you think that the reset will also reset or affect the WiFi calling mod????? (or anything else you can think of that may interrupt or affect the WiFi calling???

The synthesis kernel resets the wifi interface only under a specific condition that prevents the phone from sleeping. If you haven't seen your phone 100% awake with serious battery drain you may not have the issue (you'd likely remember if you had). It's typically triggered by dropping connection to wifi (i.e. driving away from home with the wifi radio enabled) or roaming between access points in office or campus environments.

That said, if your phone does encounter the problem, your wifi interface will be reset and any call in progress will be dropped. Once reset you can then reconnect your call. It's also not a bad idea to reboot the phone after this happens at the next convenient time. (That's the trade off for preventing the high battery drain associated with the bug).

The reset does not change any files or affect any mods - it just tells the OS that the wifi interface is borked which causes the OS to turn it off and then back on.

Appreciate your time and trouble. GOT it! Hope I'll be lucky and not get the batt drain issue.

    [Kernel][GB][OC/UV][HDMI-MHL] !NEW! Synthesis Kernels <2013-04-30>, plus Infusion-Z

    Please post only bugs and testing results on this thread. For general questions and answers visit ---> Infusion-Z and Zen kernel Q&A


    *** Synthesis: The only GB kernel you need for your Infuse ***

    New features


    This set of kernels is a combination of the stock UCLB3 kernel, with all mods from the Infusion-Z kernel (see below), some mods from Entropy's DD, and more. New features include:


    - Fix for the wifi drain bug (aka bt-amp bug). In the event that this bug occurs, the kernel triggers a reset of the wifi interface, which stops the bug and saves battery.

    - Wifi roaming code from the international SGS2 (roam_api) replacing the stock bcmccx logic. Reduces the incidence of the wifi drain bug. This config is less agressive in seeking out new access points, so you may need to open the wifi config screen in settings to speed up the connection process.

    - External SD card (/sdcard/external_sd) is now available in CWM recovery and can be used as a source to flash CWM zip packages

    - Entropy512's fast charging hack is included (thanks!)

    - SIO and BFQ I/O schedulers added from Entropy's DD (thanks!)

    - Voodoo lagfix lady 2.0 :good::good:

    - Kernels are attached to this post (CWM flashables) including stock CPU frequencies - 1.2Ghz - and two OC options - 1.4Ghz and 1.6Ghz. If you prefer to flash them using SGS Kernel Flasher, you can download a bundle containing all three >>here<<


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    - Overclocking and Undervolt support - thanks to bedwa's prior work

    - CoreA cpu speeds - 1600, 1200, 800, 400, 200, 100

    - CoreB cpu speeds - 1400, 1000, 800, 400, 200, 100

    - Voodoo sound driver, voodoo lagfix - courtesy of project voodoo

    + [cifs support] see post #29 for info on how to use cifs

    + [Removed auto-install of superuser] you can get the current su cwm flashable here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/

    + [HDMI/MHL support] using mhl adapter you can play video on most TVs and monitors with a HDMI port

    + [Video support] newer roms no longer need video reverts to allow video to record or playback

    + [External sdcard fix] corrected issue which prevented external sdcard access in some cases

    + [cfq i/o scheduler tweaks] added optimization tweaks for cfq scheduler

    + [Boot animation fix - partial] this is a work in progress - see notes below


    NOTES:

    Intended for use *ONLY* with stock-based GB ROMs. For CM7, CM9, and CM10 check project OPs for proper setups.

    OC/UV requires use of an app like Voltage Control, CPU master, or SetCPU. Read up before jumping in - you can lock or damage your phone with incorrect settings. Remember to save your boot settings in Voltage Control menu to ensure your settings stick.

    To get boot animations to show correctly: In /system/media copy sanim.zip to bootanimation.zip. I plan to automate this in a future release.
    For tips on overclocking and related performance and battery tweaks see the q&a thread.

    Important! - Video restore and revert packages are intended only for users of current ROMs with stock library files who have previously applied a revert package to get video to work. If you haven't done this, or are unsure, flash only the kernel package of your choice.

    Links to install packages for the first release can be found on post #3.

    Source code is available on my github (see signature).

    Be safe and always make a backup before flashing!
    Standard Disclaimer: All packaged builds are provided with no guarantees as to their safety. By flashing, you assume any and all potential risks that running a custom kernel might entail.


    Recommendations: Wipe cache and dalvik-cache when flashing a new kernel. Disable any oc/uv settings from phone before flashing a new kernel.


    Overclockers/Undervolters: If your phone is unstable when running at a particular overclock speed, choose a lower max cpu speed - not all phones have the same ability to handle oc speeds. When undervolting, do your research first and make small changes.


    Big thanks to those who helped test this and prior kernels: qkster, mikig_mkd, boogman7, scott.hart.bti, aeonit, mikig_mkd, nwinfuse, texcowboy, tankmorph, prairied0gg, madman_sle, cmeyal, atk, and jdt352
    Thanks to bedwa, entropy512, linuxbozo, and netarchy who laid the foundation (and built the house) - especially bedwa and entropy for helping me out along the way. Visit their threads and say thanks:

    Thanks guys!

    The best recognition is what comes from working with you and the rest of the Infuse community. This is a great place to be a part of.

    BTW - look for something new from me this weekend. A new way of doing many of the things we do everyday with our phones... :)

    You'll notice two things:

    (zen@xanadu) - this is my ID on my build machine
    Infusion-GB-Z-CoreA - the "Z" here is another indicator

    Another update will be coming soon - fixes video (now compatible with UCKL2 and UCLB3 libraries), and enables MHL/HDMI out. Also addresses a few other issues: will now display both common boot animation file formats and fixes external SD card access (the vold issue). It's been testing well ... I hope to have it generally available in a couple days.
