No, I’m looking for minimum values. The baseline when all apps are closed should always remain the same. That’s why I need trace.log as well.
Your data gives me this:
Se how the minimum changes around 5000 seconds, then drops a bit around 12000, and then jumps at 48000? I need to find out why it doesn’t drop all the way back (presuming you had the same programs open at the low times).
To expand on this: you cain obtain the chart by running this:
gnuplot -e 'set output "cma.png"; plot "cma.log" using 1:3'
If you get to the point where millipixels fails to take pics, ideally close all applications you can, including millipixels and then send both logs.
If you check out the logs and see that the baseline is getting higher even when all applications are closed, then please send both logs, too.
One good set of logs and we might be able to diagnose it.
I think I need to postpone further testing a bit and update again to the most recent kernel, because this debug kernel seems to bork my modem functionality (or revert back to the previously poor behaviour). Today I have had three modem crashes already that haven’t been recoverable without a phone restart.
I have triggered a rebase of that kernel branch - it was old enough to be very incompatible with current userspace. Once the CI produces the artifacts you should be able to install it again without losing modem reliability.
Excellent! Just as a side note, a recent call with the debug kernel triggered a change to 3G (before it crashed for the 3rd time today), while after upgrading to newest kernel VoLTE seems to work again (at least indicator stayed on 4G).
I’ve had calls that show 4G but upon running the tool show HSPA not VoLTE so not sure that’s a reliable indicator.
True, but I had VoLTE working before on this kernel, so I am guessing it is LTE this time too. But that was just a side note, so let’s keep this thread to Millipixels 
.
My camera continues to work. I also am having modem issues. I’m going to abort this experiment also.
After reverting back by doing apt full-upgrade and rebooting. I managed to take one picture, closed the millipixels ap, opened it back up, and it failed to get another picture. Its hung again. Something is different about the test kernel that made my camera work.
Yes, I increased the amount of memory. That will do nothing if there is a leak, which is why the logs are required to move forward.
Would you like me to continue with the test kernel for a longer period of time in hopes it will eventually fail? If its helpful, I’ll do it.
Definitely helpful, thanks for the offer. After @dos fixed up the kernel package, you’ll have to download and install it again to get stability on par with the regular one.
Test resuming.
I feel like you’re asking me to reproduce a problem that this kernel has fixed. I have taken many pictures without issue. I’ll keep logging data every second but I’m thinking the storage space will run out before I ever see this problem again.
I don’t know if it’s fixed. But I need to have someone confirm whether it is or not, by using it for some prolonged time (days?) and reporting the results.
If the problems come out, it will be regardless of how many pictures you take.
I’m not sure if what I’ve noticed is the same, but as i started to use the camera more, it’s been doing eternal saves of pics more often, freezing the cam picture as well. Only identifiable theme seems to be that I have other apps running as well.
I have resumed testing again, logging with 5s interval. So far so good, but I have seen a couple of spikes in cma.log. Values have returned to the previous ones right after though.
Here are some observation after about an hour of intense testing:
I didn’t get gnuplot to work, so I plotted the chart in LibreOffice Calc instead.
As seen in the chart, there are some outliers, but directly after returning to the previous value. However, the values trend higher probably due to more open apps.
I have taken over 20 photos without Millipixels hanging. I opened more and more apps during the tests and at the end had the following open apps in addition to Millipixels:

Anything else you want me to provide?
If you catch an actual hang in logs, that would be cool. In that case, don’t forget trace.log, because without it I am unable to find the culprit.
I think I’m going to consider it solved when the users of this kernel complete a week without a hang.
Hi,
I haven’t read all the backlog of this thread (sorry).
How do I test the fix/kernel? Just by making a system update on the phone?
Or is this some dev-build where I have to do something more?
