Does 1.8.6 have this issue? I asked if someone could test it, but never heard back.

Well, when I was on 1.86 I don't seem to remember having any battery issues. When I first installed this leak 2.3.320 I immediately flashed Rubix 1.93 and noticed HUGE reduction in battery life over 1.86 almost immediately. In spare parts the culprit was ksoftirqd/0 process running continuously. In prep for the next Rubix I flashed back to stock leak and noticed no instance of that process accounting for any cpu usage and my battery lasted 48 hours with light use. Now I'm back on 1.93 and the ksoftirq process is back at the top of the list never shutting down and my battery is draining like a leaking cup of coffee. It has to be the culprit and by doing a google search it turns out the fix is elusive but possibly linked to a wifi or video driver linked to cpu but its way over my linux pay grade.
I heard mixed reports on 1.8.6, but again, have heard mixed reports on 1.8.9 too (though, mostly complaints)...
If anyone knows how to test for the ksoftirqd issue, that hasn't gone to the leak, would love feedback (I don't have time to reload in the next couple days.. )
Thanks!
This shouldn't be affected by the ROM. How are you installing the modded .apk?Are you replacing the "GenieWidget.apk" in System/App?
I just unplugged the phone...and figured out where to find it....I'll report back later today. I'm running w/o the leak 1.89. To be honest --- I haven't seen a terrible redunction in battery performance from stock (standard Vz ROM)....but I'll let you guys know what happens....
Awesome, thnx!

Seph, 1.8.6 does not have that issue. I never even knew that process existed until I had 1.8.9. I figured it was a part of the rom update. Anyways, my battery drain was not as bad first anticipated but it may be because my phone lasts 7-8 hours at best when I'm ay work. Today I had it off the charger at 7:30 and I'm below 20% already on 1.8.6
I will see what it's Like with the next update, but just to confirm, that process does run higher in 1.8.9.
Some people may have it running longer and harder than others but when I had 1.8.9, it was the highest CPU user but not by much.

Figures.. in that case, I probably could have created a patch to fix the issue.
Oh well, new vers. will be out soon, and ***shouldn't*** have the ksoftirq issue.

thanks a lot for the poweramp suggestions guys, by far the best player i have used so far.
poweramp took care of the audio playback eq and playback, anyone have anything they can recommend that can boost or adjust in-call earphone volume?

STOP TEASING US! :icon_evil:
I can't wait to get the new build. I wish I was a tester. I would feel so useful and it would give me something to do.
LOL No you don't! I was up until 3am last night (wake up at 7:45am for work...) unbricking my phone
