I've looked and searched everywhere but I can't find anything like this. On all of the JB roms, all of a sudden, my CPU frequency sits at the highest speed and won't move no matter what governor I use. Is there any way to solve this, I'm really at a loss. I installed CPU spy and it's showing that deep sleep is not used and that only 1200 MHz(the highest CPU setting I'm using) is being used. Help please. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, tried that already, a few times. I think it has something to do with my sd card. I'm gonna format it and see what happens.
So..I went all the way back to stock, and came back to JB and still experiencing the same problem. When I flash a JB rom, the CPU frequency gets stuck at the highest frequency until I select a different governor and reselect the one I want to use. Any help would be appreciated.
which roms have you tested? and are you using nstool to adjust your governors and schedulers?

I've tested avatar, Beanstalk(my daily driver), Cyber...
Nd yes, I am using the built in performance menu, but it has the same settings as nstools

Are you using NSTools along with the built in performance menu? I had the same problem on Beanstalk with the SmartassV2 governor where my cpu would stick at 1200 mHz, but once i removed NSTools, smartass worked fine. perhaps try disabling or removing nstools?
Oh okay, I see what you are saying. I really like BLN, so you just don't use bln anymore?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
well try and see if it works. if your using beanstalk, then you can just use the BLN control - free app that scott has included as an addon. this app will enable BLN with timeout. you just can't change the blink speed with this app.
Well I disabled nstools and everything seems to be back in order. I'll report back if I see something else.

so i just bought this phone from a friend, he had it rooted when i bought it, seems every kernel i try the max is always at 1000 instead of higher options and my governor scaling does not let me choose any options as well,tried 2 different kernels and same for both any ideas how to fix, would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried pimpmycpu? For some reason set CPU doesn't work

Buy and use pimp my cpu.
Set cpu doesn't seem to work with this phone for now for what ever reason.

There is a free version of pimp my cpu somewhere I here.
The developer of that app post it somewhere else I this forums. Is ok to download it from this forums for free.

I tryed it once and didn't seem to work it didn't have any goveners to choose from either.or maybe I just ain't used to it ill try again thanks for the reply.I thought maybe he messed something up in the root process
Probably the dual core is messing with setcpu and it needs an update for it to work properly. I could be wrong but that's my guess. Are u using a custom rom that allows for oc? Cm7 has a setting for it so no need for an app to control it

governor
I tryed pimp my CPU.seams to overclock but governor has no choices is it just me or is everyone's like that?
tegra2 controls the governers so they dont give you the option to change as of yet, that is untill one of our genious devs figures a way around that as well.
I see thanks for letting me know that. thought something was wrong on my end
Could some give me a quick rundown on undervolting a kernel. I'm using faux's 0.4.2 oc/uv cm7 kernel. From my understanding its already undervolted but I'm confused about whether I should/can adjust those settings for better results or if I should leave them alone.
Info greatly appreciated.

Each chip is built differently, so you have to experiment on that yourself. That kernel may already be undervolted but it may not be right for you. I say adjust until you hit instability and then go from there.

Sorry to jump in on this thread as well, but could you give us some info on how you would undervolt a kernel?
I have setcpu installed, is that enough? Is it possible to break my phone?

Yes anytime you make you phone do something it didn't do from the factory there is a chance you could damage your device..its thx to all the great devs and people that test that make it easier and less likely also the more you read and understand what it is you are actually doing to the device helps alot!
If you have a kernel able to be overclocked/undervolted yes just use set CPU to adjust the settings.
All chips are different just cause a specific setting is working for someone else means it will work the same for you!
That being said I use:
Trigger 8/22 rom with faux123'a 0.4.2 kernel.
My settings:
Max-1408mhz
Min-389mhz
And have 1.1 GHz down to 389 mhz undervolted by 50 and no undervolt above 1.1
also have different profiles set for screen off and in call..
Good luck how this helps..

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I'll be more weary of fooling around with settings. I'll probably set mine similar to yours.
Thanks everyone. I understood that setcpu would be used for the changes I was more wondering what the changes would do. Like undervolting by 50 for instance, what does that give as far as battery life? Im a moderate to heavy user and I only get roughly 8 hours off the charger before it needs to be back on, great signal all day too.
I suppose I'll just have to tinker with it till I get crashes then adjust from there.

How do u get the undervoltage adjustment? i have set cpu and when i try the voltage button on set cpu, i got forced closed. Thanks in advance.
Sounds like a bad install, try uninstalling setcpu then re-installing it or fix permissions in CWM or terminal
su
fix permissions
Used to have that issue too. Try the setcpu available here on the forums, I think that's the one the worked for me.

Just wondering how folks are finding FauxClock 0.8.
I managed to find it and am trying it as I was on 0.72 and 0.75 didn't work well for me.
Any views ?
0.8 FC every time I start it, so I roll back.

Thanks, but now it keeps saying CPU1 is offline?
Keeps force closing, how do I fix it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Make sure you un-install old version first or wipe data if coming from an ealier version.
If it says CPU1 offline then it means that it's not needed and has shut down. I have opened it a couple of times and I have seen the second core is online and working but most of the time it is offline... better for battery life!
Working fine for me anyway with ARHD 3.6.7. Undervolted -50mv too.

Running stock ROM with faux123's kernel.
When CPU0 keeps staying at 1.5GHz, CPU1 still says it's offline.

I have the same, even when using the performance setting. Seems a bit odd, no matter what I use the phone for as soon as I open fauxclock one cpu is always offline. Did anyone have this on earlier versions?

I think that's just the aSMP architecture/Kernel. IRC the performance governor just fixes the speed at the maximum specified, it doesn't force both cores to be on.
I'll stick with 0.8.0, it does FC the first time after a re-boot but works fine after that. I like the screen off/on settings.
On another note I did find Faux123 0.2.3b9 best for my setup, lowest drain. I've not tried any other non Faux123 kernels yet.
same here...running 0.8 with intellidemand governor
i`ll test and see how performance is

I think it was all tied in to the Faux Thread. Since he's unfortunately stopped working on Sensation Kernels that thread has been closed.
Look in: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4550-app08-beta-snapdragon-dual-core-oc-control/
TBH, I don't even know if it's compatible with other kernels, don't see why not but never tried. I guess the GPU and UV setting might not work with non Faux kernels.

Still getting FC's
So I have been successful in using system tuner to set my CPU speeds and have them stick after reboot/shutdown. However my governor always falls back to on demand instead of my last selection. Is there any way to get this to stick?
Currently setting the startup as init.d. running synergy with their custom kernal.
Thank you!

Im in a similar pinch. If I want to make the on-demand governor remain permanent vs. the performance governor how can I make that happen?
You do have the "Set at boot" option ticked correct?
If that's not working you may need to use setCPU to do the "basics" for you and have System Tuner just do the rest. Here's a link to a free copy for XDA Members, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
I've been trying to get my S3 to overclock to 1809mhz but it seems that I can't get it past 1350. I've tried multiple kernels and overclocking apps but nothing that I try gets it to go past 1350mhz. At the moment I have LeanKernel v1.0 with Galaxy Mod rls8 and I've seen people with this rom/kernel combination overclocking no problems. In SetCPU the bar goes as high as 1900mhz but no matter how high I set it as, the max CPU only goes as high as 1350. I double checked my speed with CPU Spy and it confirms that I'm at 1350 max. Any ideas? Something I'm missing?
