[Q] freeze on all roms

guys...my phone sometimes freezes on the lockscreen....and I have to pull out the battery...the problem is that this happens with all roms, sense or not based....
what's going on?!

You may get more help if you provide a little more info, ie:
-Are you using a specific 3rd party launcher with roms?
-Are you using a custom kernel, and if so what are your settings?
-Have you tried running in safe mode to rule out 3rd party apps?
-Did this problem begin after anything in particular you can think of?
-etc....

Maybe too low CPU values?
Undervolt can cause this as well.
It happened to me while using APEX on ARHD.
But indeed more info is needed.

this started a week ago...with miui official/faux kernel and now with aokp b38/tamcore kernel....I know tamcore kernel is undervolted, and don't know nothing about faux's one...
I use nova launcher, setcpu is set at 384/1188 and I have a profile screen-off at 192/432...
uh, forgot, I use SIO scheduler...I set it with no frills and uninstalled it after, to have just one cpu control app (setcpu)...
this morning my alarm didn't ring! then I had to pull out the battery because it was freezed...luckily I woke up by myself this morning XD

I recommend to use a higher off-screen value (384 MHz) as a first try. See how it reacts and also use an app to check the current voltage (like system tuner / st pro).
If this does not helps then start isolating apps.
I have NOOP sched and 384-432 Off-screen and had no issues far, but I remember that with 192 Mhz a while ago the screen did not wake up a few times (on ARHD 6.3.x).

I updated to b39, nothing now....if it freezes i'll try setting a higher minfreq...
thank you all! thx+1

CPU settings wont stick

I appreciate the guys here helping me install beastmode on my machine with viper xl but whenever I try to change the cpu settings they don't stick, and my battery is draining faster than it should. I flashed beastmode at 1.8ghz but I wont to be able to underclock back to 1512ghz when I'm not benchmarking or playing a game. I've tried venom tweaks cpu editor and setcpu and neither one are able to set the cpu permantly. Reverts back after about 2sec's or so. Anyone know whats causing this and how to fix it?

try no-frills

Ok i installed no-frills cpu, set the cpu to 1512, modified the thermald.config in system etc, changed permissions accordingly, restarted the phone and now I'm in a bootloop. I know I can do a nandroid but is there any other way to end the bootloop? Oh and I set no-frills to set cpu at startup.
I managed to get no-frills unistalled before it restarted again. No more bootlooping. One lesson I learned is never set a cpu to run at startup.

More invalid configurations bro. Something the POST doesn't like and keeps you from booting to prevent damage to your phone
You probably did something in thermald.conf that your phone doesn't like

[Q] Sensation Slow

Hi all,
I'm having struggles already a few months (since dunno february or so) that my Sensation is ultimately slow. Tried unticking fastboot option and doing factory reset.
I have it not rooted, everything on stock and it's annoying like hell.
Could it be possible, that with a slow SD Card the phone reacts slowly ?

Hi,
If you are full stock unrooted, you should be using the latest OTA 3.33 stock Rom. Pls confirm.
I'd say that with Stock roms, it not unsual that it gets slower with the use.
If you have already performed a factory reset, you shall look into the following problems:
- Installed applications (you may have some which are affecting the phone performance)
- You can also use Sytem Tuner (free from play store) and check what is using your CPU/RAM.
- You can take your microSD out and check it using a PC.
If all this does not work, suggest to proceed with the S-off, install EXT4 recovery and flash a custom ROM.
I hope it helps.
Regards

What I would suggest if you do not want to root or s-off your device is to update to ICS and in Settings/Develop Option tick "Force GPU Rendering", set "Window and Transition Animation Scale" to 0.5 (or switch it off) and set the "Background process limit" to "At most 4 Processes". (remember, you need to set the background limit after every reboot!). This can speed up your phone a bit.

thanks both of you. Did all the things matekaneve suggestedn and installed system tuner
In CPU, I have some crazy peaks while just looking at the progression, up to 100% for both cores. Temperature is steady at 41-44°C
Task Manager shows just a few extra processes running. I have quite a lot of apps installed (dunno why it keeps automatically installing even after factory reset, damn google account). Gonna try to fac. reset once more and run with no app installed

After you set up your google account don't tick the box ' make sn back-up from this phone ' and then google won't place your old applications back.

ok, didn't sync all apps on start.
Have bought that System Tuner App
Software Version is 3.33.401.53
In system Tuner Pro, CPU shows CPU1 "offline", CPU0 +- steadily at 384MHz and load up to 30% max.
Why CPU1 is "offline" I don't understand

When I was stock my phone was slow and would reboot a lot. Rooting and s off and a custom rom cured that! Honestly I've found custom roms to be way more stable than stock. It solved my issues I was having with the reboot too! I'd never go back to stock unless I had to.

I can't seem to overclock my TF300T! it will later reset back to 1.3ghz!

Hi,
I have tried different rom + kernel:
cleanrom
ultra fast rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901784
untermensch kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892326
and still can't oc the cpu to something higher than 1.3ghz
I used the No-frills CPU as well as the antutu cpu master (free version)
for the No-frills cpu, whenever I set the CPU speed to something high (ie. 1.6ghz max and 102mhz min), checked apply on root then apply, it worked fine for a while, but later on when I open no-frills cpu, th e current max and min will reset back to 1.3ghz and 102mhz.
Governor and I/O scheduler is fine though.

Sounds to me like u need to check start on boot..i havent oveclocked mine yet but option should be there where u select governors and such...

Of course i have checked that it just didnt work

Give Voltage Control a try. It gives you the options to apply on boot or init.d. I use the init.d setting because the phone boots quicker. I had that problem with CPU Master in the past while running it on my phone.

Will do, however i dont think it's the reboot problem. The problem was, when i set the cpu speed to 1.5 or 1.6 its works fine for an hour or so ( i closed the cpu app, reopen it and the curent seed got set) but then an hour or so, it got resetted back to 1.3 without rebooting the device

Hi !
Overclock automatically deactivates when the device enters in standby !

Ahh, that's what I thought was going on, this is happening to me as well.

Hi!
No, this happens to everyone
However, it seems a pretty good thing - why we need OC - if the device sleep ? :laugh:
- it is also good for battery - !

So i will have to reoverclock it everytime ??

Mine doesn't do this at all. I use CleanROM 3.1, unters kernel and setcpu. No issues.

I guess I know why it's because setcpu has the profile settings allows u to set the CPU speed when screen is on / when screen is unlocked
Othe CPU apps I have tried have no such feature which means oc works when u set it, but when u turn off the screen then turn it on , it will reset back to 1.3ghz

Using setcpu, what I did was set a "screen off" profile to max out at 1700ghz when the screen is off or in sleep mode and it worked for me!!! That way will not default back to stock 1300ghz everytime I hit screen off or sleep mode.

[Completed] ElementalX Not Saving CPU Governor Profile Settings After Reboot

Nexus 6P - Stock - ElementalX Kernel - 7.1.1
While using the ElementalX Kernel Manager app, it will not save my governor profile that i have chosen to use after a boot. I have apply on boot checked next to literally everything in the CPU tab to be sure it is set. The CPU governor is set on boot, and no apps i'm aware of are interfering. I use greenify, but the kernel manager isn't being greenified. Specifically the touchboost setting they won't save. I have touch boost disabled, and it does stick after boot. But when i go into the app, after a boot, it jumps to 1300 hz like i didn't apply any settings! As soon as I apply the governor I want to use, it works and the profile does stick. The problem only happens AFTER a boot. Some settings do seem to stick around, like for how long the cpu will stay at 1300 hz after i touch the screen. Currently using Glassfish 1.2.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately this is not something we can really help you with, you need to ask in the kernel thread
