2016-07-03 12:40:10	@kido	hi lanechr :)
2016-07-03 14:41:24	SylvieLorxu	Is it normal for the battery to drain like mad? I think my battery loses almost 10% battery per hour on the lowest brightness. Is this an AsteroidOS issue or does Android Wear do the same?
2016-07-03 14:42:03	@kido	asteroid issue :/
2016-07-03 14:42:14	SylvieLorxu	Ah, okay, pfew
2016-07-03 14:42:25	locusf	kido: if you want to do screencasts on asteroid https://github.com/kimmoli/lipstick-recorder/tree/test
2016-07-03 14:42:41	SylvieLorxu	That means there's hope of it getting better because it's not a device limitation :)
2016-07-03 14:42:44	@kido	locusf: oh good to know, thank you! :)
2016-07-03 14:43:15	@kido	SylvieLorxu: yep, actually I'm trying to use another cpu governor since this morning
2016-07-03 14:43:40	@kido	you are using dory right?
2016-07-03 14:44:14	SylvieLorxu	Cool
2016-07-03 14:44:16	SylvieLorxu	Yup
2016-07-03 14:44:51	@kido	try echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
2016-07-03 14:45:50	@kido	at least the performances are better
2016-07-03 14:46:03	SylvieLorxu	What's the default, so I can switch it back if necessary?
2016-07-03 14:46:06	@kido	and battery should be slightly better
2016-07-03 14:46:14	SylvieLorxu	Well I guess I could reboot but oh well
2016-07-03 14:46:22	@kido	if you reboot your /init.rc will set back a stupid userspace governor
2016-07-03 14:47:07	@kido	I think I took the userspace governor settings from android but this always seemed like a bad idea
2016-07-03 14:48:19	SylvieLorxu	Okay, so it to ondemand
2016-07-03 14:48:34	@kido	tell me what you think of it ;)
2016-07-03 14:48:43	@kido	app startup should be significantly faster
2016-07-03 14:49:35	@kido	also, we currently disable 3 of the 4 cores at a random time in boot, if we create a systemd service to disable those cores and change cpufreq once the launcher is loaded we could also have a much faster boot process
2016-07-03 14:49:53	SylvieLorxu	I don't really notice much difference there, my main thing would be battery usage, I find the general UI responsive
2016-07-03 14:50:18	@kido	well with the previous settings I'm really not satisfied by the app startup time
2016-07-03 14:51:05	@kido	also I removed the usage of qtquick controls in a couple of apps recently so it becomes once again slightly faster but you won't have that
2016-07-03 14:52:09	SylvieLorxu	There should really be a nice update script once, but if the battery survives longer this way I'm already happy :P
2016-07-03 14:52:46	@kido	yep
2016-07-03 15:27:59	SylvieLorxu	Hmm, 6% battery loss in 30 minutes, running only the countdown app in the background. Not sure if that's much better...
2016-07-03 15:56:46	lanechr	kido: oh hey. Not being rude, that was irccloud dropping and rejoining me
2016-07-03 17:56:56	@kido	SylvieLorxu: yep I noticed that countdown always wakes up the CPU at full freq, you should try without this app :/
2016-07-03 17:57:08	@kido	lanechr: alright !
2016-07-03 18:07:05	SylvieLorxu	Oh, okay, haha
2016-07-03 18:07:44	SylvieLorxu	I'll user my phone as timer then :P
2016-07-03 18:09:31	SylvieLorxu	*use
2016-07-03 18:36:38	@kido	I mean... this is definitely not the way it should be but maybe it's not the most apropriate way of benchmarking overall battery life :)
2016-07-03 18:37:01	@kido	don't get me wrong, you shouldn't have to use another device as a workaround ahah
2016-07-03 18:37:41	SylvieLorxu	Without running apps I'm at 4% battery loss in 30 minutes. That's a bit of a difference yeah
2016-07-03 18:38:13	SylvieLorxu	It's still horrible to measure percentages per half hour of idling :P
2016-07-03 18:40:06	SylvieLorxu	Maybe I should switch to powersave. I right now mostly care about being able to see what time it is anyway :P
2016-07-03 18:40:13	@kido	powersave is awful
2016-07-03 18:40:29	@kido	and basicaly you will get ~the same result when the watch is idle
2016-07-03 18:40:41	SylvieLorxu	Really? Damn.
2016-07-03 18:40:51	SylvieLorxu	4% per 30 minutes is still way much
2016-07-03 18:40:58	@kido	indeed
2016-07-03 18:41:10	SylvieLorxu	That's only slightly over half a day ;-;
2016-07-03 18:41:15	@kido	we need to benchmark the wakelocks and find out why the processor gets out of idle too often
2016-07-03 18:41:31	 *	SylvieLorxu nods
2016-07-03 18:41:57	SylvieLorxu	If there's any way I could help I'd happily assist
2016-07-03 18:43:03	@kido	well if you are interested... you can probably play with mce and mcetool, those are the main tools which handle battery life
2016-07-03 18:45:12	@kido	uptime:       22725.505 
2016-07-03 18:45:12	@kido	suspend_time: 0.000 
2016-07-03 18:45:28	@kido	<- so yeah there is an issue, the watch is never suspended
2016-07-03 18:47:04	@kido	I had that issue a long time ago because I used to use mce 1.62.5 which didn't support kernels with CONFIG_PM_AUTOSLEEP but now mce 1.76.5 is shipped so it shouldn't be an issue
2016-07-03 18:48:08	@kido	for any in-depth question, the expert is spiiroin
2016-07-03 21:36:24	SylvieLorxu	I've never heard of those tools before, which means I probably can't help beyond checking if the fix works on this device too
2016-07-03 21:52:46	@kido	Syl
2016-07-03 21:53:04	@kido	SylvieLorxu: yep the only thing to do is to contact spiiroin
2016-07-03 21:53:12	@kido	hi Lrs121
2016-07-03 21:53:35	Lrs121	hello
2016-07-03 21:54:45	@kido	what's up ?
2016-07-03 21:55:21	SylvieLorxu	kido: I suppose you'll do that as you actually have the expertise for these things?
2016-07-03 21:57:10	@kido	actually, I don't know mce nor spiiroin that well but this is the kind of thing on which I definitely have to give a look before releasing a stable version of asteroid
2016-07-03 21:57:24	Lrs121	Not much. taking a break from some projects so i can free up some hard drive space
2016-07-03 21:57:58	@kido	Lrs121: ahah, asteroid must take a lot of that hard drive space :)
2016-07-03 21:59:33	Lrs121	a good chunk, my desktop just has a 750GB laptop drive i salvaged working as my home partition
2016-07-03 21:59:54	Lrs121	and an 80GB ssd for the root
2016-07-03 22:00:11	@kido	:)
2016-07-03 22:02:30	Lrs121	i have a question for you kido, to update the dependencies in the src eg. meta-qt5, meta-asteroid, etc. do i just need to do a git pull on them?
2016-07-03 22:03:58	@kido	if I didn't change the branch yes that's enough
2016-07-03 22:04:13	@kido	but actually I changed the branch of meta-qt5 so you will need to git checkout krogoth
2016-07-03 22:04:27	@kido	https://github.com/AsteroidOS/asteroid/commit/4cdd867463a11678648bb073b38b6943c9b4cabf
2016-07-03 22:05:32	@kido	however if the asteroid apps have been changed (which is the case) they won't be recompiled like that
2016-07-03 22:05:41	@kido	you will need to bitbake -c cleanall asteroid-stopwatch for example
2016-07-03 22:05:55	@kido	because the recipe doesn't provide a specific commit yet
2016-07-03 22:10:13	Lrs121	ok, that gives me a better id on how to set up the script on my jenkins instance
2016-07-03 22:11:46	@kido	you can actually use the work from TheAppleMan -> https://github.com/theappleman/jenkins-job-specs/blob/master/asteroid.yaml you can upload it with jenkins job builder
2016-07-03 22:11:57	Lrs121	awesome
2016-07-03 22:12:26	@kido	I started to use it on https://ci.asteroidos.org/ but didn't take too much care of it in the end so everything is basically broken
2016-07-03 22:12:45	@kido	if you clean it I will use it too ;)
2016-07-03 22:12:58	Lrs121	ok
