Charging and Kernel question. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since upgrading the CM9 kernel to a custom one, my phone will not boot once shut off unless I clear cache and dalvik. Is this remotely normal?

Thanks for the reply, anyone now know how to fix it or is it a wipe and reinstall?

Try reflashing the kernel first and see how it goes. If that doesn't work it is probably best to wipe everything and reinstall.

i had a similar issue with matrix 14.5...it would boot loop unless i cleared the caches...i played around with the voltages and governors for awhile..and it was ok for a day or 2 then it started it again...so i ditched matrix and went with speedy 5 and i havent had a problem yet...

Your phone can't handle undervolt. That's the problem.
I use matr1x, have done since gb days and have never had a problem so its definitely just your phone.

Thanks for all the replies, just went back to stock. Can't have my phone acting up now that I am working. Will reroot once the update to ICS happens on Sprint.

When you really make a clean install of rom and kernel there shoudn't be such problems.

When changing KERNEL always follow this steps !!
1) CWM format /system and /cache
2) go to advanced menu, wipe dalvik.
3) Then reinstall your ROM, then flash kernel right after.
No data loss, system exactly as you left it, only difference is new kernel.
If you are switching to a different ROM, add format /data.

Help!

to start i have the stock rom and rooted
well i installed the 1.5 kernel and all was well and everything was smooth. so i decided to install the 1.8 kernel and it was good for a a day and then today my phone has been really lagging in some aspects like going through my home screens(i have launcher pro) and at times when im in settings or something and i tap the home button it goes to a black screen and says launcher pro is having problems. so i took that off and went back to sense and that was also lagging when swiping through homescreens and opening the app drawer, and that never happened before. im running it at 1209 max and 806min most of the time .
so my question is: if i want the 1.5ghz kernel can i just flash that back over the 1.8ghz without doing a full restore? would there be any problems? any other suggestions?
thanks
Your min is set way too high for one and u should be able to reflash the other kernel with no problems

Make sure you wipe dalvik before flashing another kernel

[Question] Kernel flashing and matrix kernel specifically.

Hello everyone!
Phone: nexus s 3g running stock 4.0.3 with matr1x 14.0 kernel
my 1st question:
i was wondering how can revert back to stock kernel without flashing my stock rom again or going back to my previous backup?
i know it is very easy to switch from kernel to kernel but i would like to know how to switch back to my stock kernel. If you come across a link please send it to me. Thanks much appreciated.
my 2nd question:
my phone reboots the 1st time when loading up matrix kernel.
what happens is i press the power button .. the phone boots up normally then halfway through the animation it gets stuck and the phone reboots BUT this time the boot animation works properly and i am finally booted to my phone. Note that i have absolutely no issues running the kernel + BLn + Voodo etc (also not oced either)
question how can i solve this? is it normal?
I have one last question (sorry lol)
about voodo colour is there anyway of removing the grren flash that i get from unlocking the phone.
i know i can reset to 2.3.3 colours and that does do the trick but i would like to use my own custom settings..
stock 3.0.8 kernel can be found here in 3rd post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399273
Questions regarding matrix should be asked and may already be answered in his thread
And green flash is common on kernels with voodoo it also turns screen green occasionally for me when auto brightness set
not sure how to fix haven't researched doesn't bother me that much

Alright...
First off is this a specific rom? Like kustom kream, nexus beam..
Or just stock ics rooted
Second, try this again.
Get the rom zip again, then get the kernel zip again.
1. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
2. Flash rom
3. Set up rom
4. Go back to cwm
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. Flash kernel
7. Reboot
Did you do it like that?

im on offical ICS 4.0.3 rom stock (rooted) with matr1x 14.0 CFS
well i downloaded matr1x through rom manager and after wiping dalvik cache i flashed the kernel.
is there anyway of fixing without clearing data? i have a lot of stuff on my phone i would rather not erase... also im on stock ICS so how would go about flashing it again(its not like a rom i can just dl and install or is it)?
speaking of which i know titanium backup backs up apps but does it also backup like my contacts, sms and phone settings etc?
update: i went ahead and only deleted cache and dalvik cache and then installed the kernel again. same problem =/

exact same problem ....
followed ur steps perfectly.
anyways i just restored everything back.
wow your 16 !
im 16 aswell i dont even know the 1st thing about making kernels and so forth lol.
Lol sorry you couldnt get it to work...
The only other suggestion I have is to try another rom...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
thanks for trying .
anyways the thing is the kernel works perfectly fine other then that and sinc ei dont reboot my phone so much its really not an issue for me.
just another quick thing since that is the only problem i have experienced with the kernel and that everything else is fine working fine should i be worried about stability?
No, the kernel is pretty stable out of the box.

retarded i might be but can you tell me where you downloaded the file? i saw the thread on rootzwiki but i didnt see the link to download the actual 010 only the links for 009 and the beta versions of 10 ultimate. i think i read that beta 3 is the same release but i wanted to confirm.
thanks
nvm... i am retarded. for anyone else as oblivious as i, its after "Installation instructions"... not at the bottom of the post by the release info...
Still can't get this combination to work. I've done multiple wipes. Even used wipe tools. Any more suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yup. Boot into CWM and format cache, data and system partitions. Wioe dalvik cache and then flash darkside. Odin back stock. Flash CWM. Flash darkside again. The flash sky ics. Reboot. TWICE. Then flash faux 010m.
I know it seems long but it'll take 10 min, tops. I can guarantee it'll completely fix your problem

lol I could have told u that. A non working camera indicates an improper flash, or remnants left over from previous roms, NOT a permission problem
I have the same issue, non working stock camera. I have to use a 3rd party app to take pictures. I did a full wipe using the wipe codes reflashed rom with kernel while wiping cache and dalvik and sti have the same issue. Has anyone found a fix to this?

Problems with nexus s 4g

Every time I put my phone to sleep it freezes and reboots. Sometimes it'll reboot fine, others it'll freeze on the google boot screen until I pull the battery. I've tired 4 different ROMs from locked stock to unlocked Cm9 to baked and slimbean. I've tired dirty flashing. I'm out of ideas now. If anyone could help out I would greatly appreciate it.

Changing kernels is exactly like changing ROMs. You flash them, although, you have to wipe cache and dalvik cache every time you change a kernel. Look in the developer section for our phone, there are 3 kernel choices: Matr1x, Marmite, and Air Kernel. Test each out on different ROMs, find your favorite. Be sure though, if you're going to be hopping between Android versions (4.0.4 (ICS), 2.3.7 (GB), and 4.1.1/4.1.2 (JB)) You find the version of the kernel that corresponds with whatever version of Android the ROM you're using is running. As far as I know, Marmite is only available for JB, Matr1x has kernels for all versions of Android (GB-JB), and I think Air only has ICS and JB versions. Hope this helps!

Hi..
It either some junk files u have floating around ur SD card..
Or
Are u tweaking the CPU when u install the ROMs?
Or
Are u using titanium backup to restore any of ur apps?
Try to do the entire factor reset/ wipe both cache & dalvik but also flash a zip file call "wipe all" ( it formats everything under storage and mounts except the SD card stuff)
Then flash the newest slim bean 3.0 it comes with a good kernel
Flash it and do not add anything. Check if the sleep reboot issues still occur.
If not then make a backup b4 adding ur apps and restores since one of those can be causing it.
I hope it works... good luck

Backed up my boot partition and flashed this. It felt noticeably slower after a few minutes so I restored my boot partition. Now my wifi will no longer turn on. How do I correct the issue? wifi will work when I reinstall but If I try to go back to the stock kernel it no longer will. This kernel is WAY slower than the stock kernel.

Something is definitely up. Phone seems lagier and using Linpack I now get the same and lower results for Single Thread and Multi Thread. It's as if the other cores aren't being enabled.

My phone runs pretty smooth I have noticed though that the default clock speed is at 1ghz I believe that may be the reason why people are noticing lag ?
Also my WiFi speeds are normal.

I noticed that to 1036. I had to reflash my rom since it broke WIFI.
I noticed before I installed faux kernel app the the kernel is set to max cpu speed at only 1000,as soon as I raised it to stock speed it was working perfectly

fauxsound coding is actually done in my private build, but HTC did something non-standard and is conflicting with fauxsound kernel drivers.. that's why i didn't release it yet.. need to troubleshoot and see what HTC has done to the standard sound driver from Qualcomm...
HTC always do something different from everyone else including the reference design from Qualcomm.... Sometimes they OVER engineered...
