Hello. I am having an issue. My mother was talking to me today, and she was complaining about how her phone was so hot. I checked it out, and it was definitely was. So I loaded up CPU Spy, and it is showing that it is running at 1200 MHz for over 10 hours. It is not lowering its frequency at all. I tried rebooting and it is doing the same thing. I am not sure how to handle this. I have never had this happen when I had it (this was my old phone before I upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus). Does anyone know what I should do?

First off, try to check wich governor are u using. Something such as performance or interactive give the permission to the cpu to rank up faster even if the task is light weight.
Then try to install another kernel but before juast wipe dalvik cache

Tried changing governors to everything, including conservative, and it still jumps up. I will try and flash a different kernel and see what happens.

I made a post about a delay answering calls. I think it has something to do with a lag issue.
When my phone goes into standby and screen goes off etc I press power button to bring back on it seems to take a long time to respond to my unlock swipe. Then lag carries on into whatever I do next on it. After a minute or so it flies.
I have tried numerous roms all installed after wipes etc.
Anyone else having the same issues or know of a fix?

A potential cause of this is having something like SetCPU fixing the min frequency too low. Try putting it up one notch and see if that stops it. Perhaps also try a different governor like ondemand.
Does this help?

I have a G2 with the latest ILWT rom and I've overclocked using the ILWT OC daemon to a max frequency of 1574 MHz.. when I charge my phone via USB cable to my computer, it reverts to 1113 MHz; if I unplug it then quickly take it in and out of sleep mode, it goes back to 1574 MHz. Can anyone explain the SCIENCE behind this? Or should this not even be happening? also: I tried undervolting by 25mV with vipermod; it's stable until I charge it, then the phone freezes after charging for a bit.. what's up with that? so far not having that problem with the stock ILWT voltages.
ONE MORE QUESTION! I plan on reflashing with each release of ILWT.. do i need to wipe data/cache for that? From what I know, I don't need to, but it's not a bad idea (but it is time consuming to restore everything)
according to someone in the ILWT thread, you just need to wipe your cache and Dalek, er, dalvik, but not data.
thanks for looking that up, Steve!
also: i seem to have stabilized my undervolt by lowering all frequencies below the 9000MHz one by 50mV, the 9000MHz one by 25, and leaving all the ones above the 9000MHz one alone. now if someone could just answer my original question!
hey Steve, check your different profiles in the OC Daemon. Moron.
When I play graphic intensive games like Where's My Water or Cut The Rope, my battery temperature goes up rapidly. Within 4 or 5 levels it's in the mid 40s C. (The first time it went all the way up to 53 C before I looked at it.)
Is this normal?
If not, would you suspect a bad battery? (I got the phone used.)
FWIW, I'm running ARHD 6.6.3. Behavior is the same under the stock kernel and under SebastianFM's kernel.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Well the battery doesn't CAUSE overheating, the processors do. Always. ICS roms, the newer ones anyway don't overheat the phone as much, turn of your syncs, mobile network and decrease the brightness of the phone. Your phone will always overheat pretty much no matter what you are doing on it if it is charging.

Try to change the governer...and don't over clock the processors..actually 1.2ghz would do....so try changing the governer...or try faux kernel (keep the governer to intellidemand) ...I use faux kernel and also I play a lot...phone heats up but not that much...it reached max of 40 C

I'll try re-flashing ARHD 6.6.3 and install Faux kernel this time. The governor is part of a separate app, right? I can't find a governor to set otherwise.
The battery still heats up when I set a max CPU frequency of 1.148 GHz. I'll post my results with Faux kernel and with replacing the battery (with an Anker 1900 mAh one.)

The governor sort of controls how the CPU speed will run on your kernel. You can change the governor using an app like SetCPU or System Tuner. BTW faux does tend to run a bit warmer, in my experience, but it's nothing to worry about if you know that you're running apps that are a bit heavy on the CPU.

I had the same problem , and im now currently running ARHD.
First time i try stock kernel and everything was burning, tryed to change with sebastian kernel with stock cpu speed and nothing change (and so a hard battery drain), they suggest me re-flashing Sebastian kernel and now everything is ok, temperature is not going up..
im currently running Faux kernel, all stock, and everything is awsome, try it.

I Super-wiped, formatted dalvik cache (I didn't see it in the Superwipe messages), re-installed ARD 6.6.3 with SebastianFM kernel, re-installed the radio, and put in the Anker battery. With System Tuner limiting the CPU max to 1.148 MHz and Governor set to Powersave, my battery hardly heated up at all while playing a game. The game's graphics did stutter though.
Now trying the on-demand governor to see if I can play without stuttering and without overheating the battery. My suspicion is that the improvement is due to re-doing the flashes or replacing a damaged battery.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!
This fix only works for Ondroid rom. And then it has mixed results as to effectiveness.
But ARHD requires firmware 3.32 to work. If you try 3.12 you are likely to get bootlooping.
Musa, you know this only works on Ondroid. You should not be recomending firmware twaeks for other roms you havent tested it on.

For future refference you dont have to reflash your rom to switch kernels.
Just wipe dalvik and cache and flash the new kernel. The first boot after than will take a few minutes but then it will be fine.
Its MUCH easier tgan redoing the whole rom.

More testing: I tried putting the old battery back in. Within 3 levels of gameplay the battery heated up to 40C. The new battery hasn't hit 30C no matter what I do. I think it's fairly conclusive the used battery that came with the phone is defective (whether from use, mis-use, or original defect, I have no idea.)

Nope incorrect my friend. Any batteries that ate not from HTC themselves won't tell the correct temperature because they do not have full battery calibration like it is with the stock ones.

dont hold me to this but you could try getting the htc evo 3d battery or the sensation xe which I think are 1720mah, their callibration should work.
I contacted Anker to see if they had any software or anything for reading temperature. They said they did not and offered to take the battery back (kudos.) I'm keeping the battery.
Underclocking the CPU to 1 GHz seems to be helping quite a bit. Also, something changed with the battery sensing. The Anker battery went from indicating 25C all the time to indicating 11.5-12C all the time. When I put the stock battery back in, it's reading 17C while charging and somewhat above that while playing games, but nowhere near as high as before.
I wonder what's going on...
Hey XDA,
I'm running PixelRom 1.7.2 and Trinity TEUV and my phone is almost always running at 1000Mhz, which is causing terrible battery life. Even if I'm just idling at my launcher, it will go that high... Anybody know how to get it to stay at lower frequencies? Oh and my governor is Ondemand and scheduler is Deadline. Hope someone can help...

teuv runs at 880mhz.
its possible that an app or a background process is active. try this free app from the market, its called diagnosis https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.diagnosis&hl=en
I thought it did too, but NsTools and CPU spy both give me: 100Mhz, 200Mhz, 400Mhz, 800Mhz, 1000Mhz, and 1096Mhz. I will try the tool from the market (yes, I still calls it the market)

if you just booted, it should(for about 2-4 minutes) then it should drop. unless you have an active live wallpaper, an app thats not written very well, or a process thats gone wild. try that app i linked, let it run for a few hours, maybe you can find the cause.
My phone had been on for a few hours...
Also, I flashed TEUV, and I don't think my phone handles it very well (TEUV has GPU overclock). Once I booted, it gave me a black screen and said: (Application) has stopped working for every app on startup. This happened twice, so I went back to Matr1x and battery is still terrible...

sounds like a bad download of teuv.
Bad download? I flashed it properly and it booted fine, until after the "optimizing applications" screen
is this the first charge since you flash the kernel? If it is, let the battery run out, charge it full and take a look at it again. I find that ICS really take a full charge to stablize its battery... my first charge after flashing a new kernel has always use a lot more battery than the second charge.
Alright, I'll try that... Also I went back to aosp+ because I really like it.
Also, android system is always using 20% cpu, even on idle..
I remember performing some tests with frequencies and deep idle - I wanted to find out the minimum frequency required to run music player screen-off with few concurrent processes. I remember reading how 400mhz is the optimal frequency for deep idle but cpu spy would always report it cruising at 1ghz and cross referenced with nstools DI stats, it was supposedly in deep idle. With DI off and bumping up the frequency to 800mhz, 1ghz took up the majority of operation time. Long story short, whatever combination I tested did not garner desirable results. That was a couple weeks ago, though. I've since given up on figuring it out.
Wait, are you having the same problem as me?Ive lost 5% battry just by having the screen on for 9 minutes...
Guys after a month of continue rom changes i realzed my phone has a problem. The problem is the heat my phone burns for every action. Is the hw problem or sfotware?

What part is heating up? The battery? The CPU? The front, the back? Top or bottom?
It could be software. It could be hardware. How is your battery life?
Try installing a fresh version of Viper with limited apps and see if that helps. If it does, reinstall your apps gradually in case one is using too much CPU.
If that doesn't work try a different ROM for a week and see if that changes anything.

If memory serves the bottom of the phone is where the CPU is. So you are overpowering the CPU somehow....
Do you have a CPU monitoring app? So you can see what load the CPU is under at all times? I'm betting you'll find that it's pushing to the max allowable clock speed and/or being used at 100% most of the time.
Are you using the Performance governor on your kernel, or something like it? Try putting the kernel at Conservative and setting the max clock speed at like 1188 and see if that helps. If it does then we'll have isolated the problem. If it doesn't....I dunno...
And again, how is your battery life?

my battery life i think is normal 2/2.30 hour of screen and 12/15 with intensive usage. Wifi and data always on. My governor is badass without gpu overlock. Tomorrow post screen with battery life.

That's hot, but what kind of load is it using most often?
10%? 100%?
In system tuner look at the TIMES menu. You should see the processor being offline most of the time. If you see it online at a high frequency most of the time then something's wrong.
But you've got to let System Tuner be installed for a while before you have viable results. At least several hours.

ok tomorrow use my phone normally with system tuner reg active (i post log with temp and freq tomorrow)
Also try a different kernel for a few days.
And use the conservative governor to see if that makes an impact as well. You don't have to stick with that governor forever if it doens't provide enough performance. Just try it and see if it makes a difference.
