[Q] SetCPU Help?

Would setcpu work in this case just to lower clock speed of the phone? I'd like to lower it when the screen is off.

yea, if you're rooted, setcpu works without any problems. I have my at 1000 mhz min & max but you can set it however you like

It works, but you have to re run it every boot up, because it gets confused (you'll see an error when you run it after a reboot)
Gotta wait for a real update to it to support the stock kernel correctly.

Setcpu
Anyone successfully using setcpu on the nexus s? Seeing any benefit in battery life?

Mine doesn't wake up when in conservative...
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

What governor are you using? Per directions of app, I try conservative but the phone never wakes up when using a sleep/conservative profile. Same thing happens with the superpower app with or without OnDemand force.

I have the same problem, I've tried a few different setups/governor settings and I still get the same issue. I have to pull the battery to get the phone to turn back on. Also I think the phone actually shuts off, according to an app called System Panel after I rooted and set up setcpu the phone shutoff shortly after I went to bed for the night.

same problem. I set min 100 max 400 for screen off profile, never wakes up.

On the epic, 100mhz is too low for the phone to wake up so 200 is the min
Snce the ns uses a humingbird, that might be the problem too
Try conservative on 200min 1000max and see if it'll wake up

OS Monitor puts the cpu at 100,000khz - 1,000,000khz and shows it changing so yes stock will do it too. However, what they want to do is make sure that, at certain times, the cpu can't reach its full speed and that stock will not do

there is a new version of set cpu 2.10
did anyone try it?
on 2.04 it was still acting crazy

I was having the same issues with the phone never waking up -even with the most updated version of setCPU- and having to pull the battery to get it back on so I uninstalled. However, I flashed the Team Whiskey ROM with the 1.3Ghz kernel and it has been rock solid since. I've overclocked the processor to 1.3Ghz while awake and using on demand governor with 200mhz min/400mhz max when sleeping. No problems so far.

SetCPU 2.10 works properly on Nexus S
just confirmed, it doesn't show weird numbers anymore

SetCPU help
Hey I just got set CPU and I'm not going to lie I don't understand hhow to use. I messed around without a bit but it would freeze after a while and the screen wouldn't turn on. I don't care about overclocking it all I really want to do is save battery power. Can someone share there setcpu profile Either the info or just the file.

Wifi Calling shuts off when screen times out

[Q] When the screen times out, my Wifi Calling shuts down until I wake it again. I'm running CM 107 with faux's kernel, and am pretty happy with it. I have wifi set to never shut off in advanced settings...is this something I'll just have to live with, or am I missing something?
Sent from my G2X with xda Premium.
EDIT: I found a workaround...sort of. If I disable data, wifi will stay active. Only downside that I can think of is that I won't be able to send/receive mms with wifi calling.
EDIT 2: Nevermind. Still does it.

how is it you know wifi calling is off when screen is off. I ask because I use wifi calling al well and have been through most all the roms and have never run into that as far as I know. Also, do you have juice defender or something similar, maybe set cpu has a profile set to lower cpu on screen off and that's causing it?? could be a couple different things. would be helpful to know what apps you have along those lines.

I've got nothing that would affect the wifi settings. The only thing I can think of is that, maybe, the faux kernel is preset to disconnect wifi at idle periods? If that's a possibility, would I have to dl a CPU governor to determine that?

I dont want to tell you anything I am not sure about. That may be a possibility. Now that I think about it I do remember seeing the icon pop back up after a few secs of screen on when I was on that rom. your best bet if you get no solid answer is to post it in the kernel thread and Faux himself may see it and Im sure he will answer you if he does see it. You could also PM faux but im sure he prob gets too many to check.

I have the exact same problem and I'm using CM7 latest nightlies. When screen goes off, WiFi will switch off, no matter how you set it in the WiFi options.

The newest nightly updates the RIL. This may possibly be a fix, but I can't try it until I get home tonight.

Sorry, didnt see this last night. I am running Weapon right now. I really like it. I have had 0 problems with it. The only thing I dont like about it is it wont support any custom kernels. So no OC. Also I cant get Netflix. Its worth having a stable rom though.

Weapon is the only rom that I can get it to stay on with. faux has a new kernel for weapon that has oc I think

To all following this thread: babyzay is correct. After flashing every ROM possible, I am certain that this issue is unique to CM7-based ROMS. I am sticking with Weapon and faux's latest, and everything is working great.

Undervolting problem

So Im using teg overclock to undervolt my phone, everythings fine(seriously seems like 35% more battery life) except 1 thing. The phone freezes and restarts ONLY when im on the web while not running anything else in the backround. Absolutely nothing else will freeze the phone, only that-
My question is, is there any way to know what clock its running at while on the web? Ive tried randomly adjusting and I cant seem to find which of the 5 clocks is causing the problem.

What are your current values?
FYI... something's always running in the background
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I had the exact same problem as you when I first started undervolting. I used dsexton's values from the undervolting thread and my phone would be fine, then it would freeze whenever I used the web browser. So I increased all the voltages by a small amount (I did 20 mV, but your mileage may vary) and that solved the problem. All phones have different tolerances for undervolting.

Try using the values i modified and posted on dsextons thread, they work amazingly.

That's gonna happen while using the phone non stop, as for charging make a profile for when screen off/ while charging I do that and never have over heating issues... I also reboot the phone after I plug it in.

It seems like an error in the graphic drivers. I could come from a cold boot play a game til my phone gets warm then exit the game. After that the phone never cools down until after reboot. This has less to do about a charging profile and deals more with rouge code
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'm assuming that's the performance kernel, and of course it'll overheat (to about 108-115 for normal highs). You're overclocked and charging the battery will be more hot than usual, you don't need to have it clocked so high for something like that, try it at lower frequencies if you're charging.

Why dont you just drop your clock speeds down to 1200. It should still perform like a champ. Expect heat while charging, I am running the ICS Eagles Blood ROM. It happens to mine too, without O.C.
It still has major bugs but it is far smoother than the stock 2.3 lg release that sucks to date.

Really you don't need to OC that high though, and if you do you should consider doing some undervolting.

If you are over clocking to 1.4gz your phone WILL get much hotter.
This us because your CPU is running faster, and generates more heat.

Obviously, lower the CPU speed. This shouldn't have to be said.

It's not an overcloking issue. I had the same problem at 1.2ghz and my phone was set to drop to 800mhz max when the screen was off. If it was an overclocking it wouldn't happen only when the phone is asleep because most phones are setup to use very little of the cpu when they are inactive.

Or, you had an app/s that kept running in the background, thus keeping the CPU awake. No G2X kernels currently support deep sleep (which would basically shut down almost everything when the screen is off), so that's another possibility. I'm on stock and don't need more than 760mHz per core most of the time.

my g2x running cm7 and the stock kernel will overheat when plugged into the wall. this alone caused many screens of death and constant reboots for me. i tend to just pop off the battery door before plugging it in and no more issues.

it really is not but it helps overheating a bit.its not like We OC to 1.8 but 1.4 still unnecessary.
This a dual core even at stock voltage still overheats.I seen single core devices really overheat.Plus Our experiences with overclocking,overheating would be different because each hardware make act different even though it's same phone.Also different locations,humidity temperature that affects phone too.You try to oc to 1.8 in the UK and it won't overheat lol COLD.

Anyone else havin issues with OC n UV on PJB?

For some reason whenever i try to change any settings they revert back to default on their own. Ive tried multpile different OC apps n it happens in all of them. This some weird kernel bug?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA

Voltage control or setcpu are good ones to use. There is an option to set it on boot. Also there is a known issue when you plug in the phone to a usb port on the computer it will switch it to ondemand. Make sure you only have one installed. One could be correctly applying it then another switching it back.

Ive tried them both (seperately) n get the same result. I set things up the way i want, hit apply, save it to boot, and within an hour or so it goes back to default. And my phone hasnt bee plugged in to usb in a few days so thats the problem. Whats weird is that this was not always an issue. It started when i flashed the TS PJB combo.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA

I'm using PBJ 0130 with Eclipse v1.3. I'm using SetCPU to overclock to 1300MHz and undervolt accordingly. I haven't had any issues with the overclock/undervolt reverting itself.
