GPU monitoring app? - General Questions and Answers

Is there an app that allows you to monitor the GPU? Im currently playing with the clockspeeds, voltages and thresholds and would like to be able to monitor the results.
Can only set 4 steps with the kernal I have the following settings at the moment.
160 - 837500
350 - 912500
440 - 962500
533 - 1025000
1 up - 90
2 down - 41
2 up - 90
3 down - 70
3 up - 90
4 down - 73
Can only select frequencies of 160, 266, 350, 440 and 533, which is why i've selected the ones I have. Im hoping it will sit at 160, 350 the majority of the time unless im gaming and have set the thresholds so that the over lap to hopefully prevent unessesary jumping between frequencies. Trying to balance performance and power consumption.
If I find it works well, then I'll then look to undervolt.

[Q] Rooted Thunderbolt Locking Up...

I just rooted by buddy TB and from time to time it lock's up on me. I read that I should stop using my task-killing app (Andrio Boost -Android Optimizer) and wait see if it happens again.
I have been removing the battery in order to unlock the phone. Has anyone else exprience this same issue...help?
What ROM are you running? Sounds like it's time to wipe via clockworkmod and start fresh.
Could be an issue with your kernel speeds or undervolting as well. If your lower clock levels are too low or your upper levels don't get enough voltage you could experience crashes.
I am currently using "Stock Rom" and this happen after watching a movie and listening to music.
These are my current SetCPU settings:
Overall 1024 max 245 min
Profiles
In call - 768 max / 245 min
Batt <25% - 768 max / 245 min
Temp >50.0 - 368 max / 245 min
Screen Off - 245 max / 245 min
Charging - 1024 max / 1024 min
Battey <10% - 245 max / 245 min
Thank you advance!

Try changing some of your min settings to a bit higher, like 368, to see if it fixes the issue. Also, are you using a kernel that supports speedtweak.sh such as Imoseyons? I believe these kernels need to have a setting changed in the speedtweak.sh to allow the use of SetCPU.
On a side note, you may wana check that Charging profile you have as well. That will be one toasty phone if you have it charging and the CPU maxed at the same time.
Thanks! Please see my SetCPU settings; are they close to being correct?
They arent bad you just need to make sure that you have the correct logic there when it comes to the level of importance of each setting.
For example this is how i would list the importance:
Temp >50.0 - 368 max / 245 min - 100
Battery <10% - 245 max / 245 min - 90
Battery <25% - 768 max / 245 min - 80
In call - 768 max / 245 min - 70
Charging - 1024 max / 1024 min - 60
Screen Off - 245 max / 245 min - 50
This way you have the temperature profile as the most important so regardless of what is going on, such as charging, the phone will lower the processor speed to account for dangerous temperatures. You need to have the battery profiles in this order as well because if the Battery < 25% has a higher importance than the Battery < 10% then it will never get to the Battery < 10% profile, it will always hit the Battery < 25% profile first, test as true, and you wont ramp down your phone as much as you wanted to in order to save battery.
Roger!! I did not pay attention to the order of the profiles. Thank you, this makes sense.
Should I still freeze my task killing application?

Automatic task-killers are redundant in Android 2.2 and higher so you can go ahead and get rid of them.
Your profiles look good but go ahead and drop the Battery < 10% importance down to like 99 or something because you dont want to have two profiles at 100. It could cause issues.

hi bscraze.,
i've posted my setcpu settings above...is it safe...?? whether i've to change max to 800Mhz...what about scaling...conservative or lag free..
pls post urs if u have...
My profiles for i5801:
Main tab - 200~700mhz on demand/lag free both works for me
Charging - 300~1200mhz on demand
Screen off - 83~500mhz on demand
Time 1am to 5.30am 83~83mhz powersave
You can try my profile, may work, may not but i advise you to change to 800mhz for your main tab.

You should keep it 800 max for normal usage because keeping high frequencies shortens processor life. Use higher frequencies(1000+) only when needed like when playing games and etc. At 800, in normal usage, all works smooth. Note I use lagfree as main profile. I suggest you also try lagfree once.

They are perfect. You don t have to worry about anything with those settings. If you use 1000+ frequencies for longer periods continuously then it may reduce your CPU life. Use only when required.

Cpu chips are made to last at least 5 yrs so dont worry about it and like what dhirend said, only if you keep it at high frequencies for long times will it dmg the cpu more.

Everybody over here just check out this(forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817) thread to understand the things better. (about governers, modules, etc) . Must see thread!!!

setcpu settings

What are people using for their setCPU settings? I'm just now rooting and will be installing this to help with battery life. Unless for some reason this isn't necessary on the S3. It was essential on the S2 (in my opinion) to keep my battery life going longer.
I'll start it off apparently!
Not messing with any governor, just the profiles.
Charging - CPU can run at 1512 max, 594 min - priority 100
Screen Off - CPU max of 594, min 384 - priority 99
Battery <80% - CPU max of 1242, min 594 - priority 80
Battery < 60% - CPU max of 810, min 384 - priority 60
Battery < 50% - CPU max of 594, min 384 - priority 50

How well does it work if you're playing music and the screen is off?
I use 384 for both max & min when screen off and it works just fine for music player I have.

I just set this up this morning and my phone has been sitting in my dock at work, so i can't say for sure about battery life. As for apps. I've not noticed a single problem. Again, I rooted my phone last night, so I don't have a ton of apps on my phone. Currently I have
Waze
Pandora
One More Clock
SetCPU
Betterbatterystats
MetroStation Icon Pack
Apex Launcher
NFC Task Launcher
Mynetdiary
Rom Manager Pro
Zedge.
Most of those are supporting apps. so it's hard to say if anything is flaking out yet. I'll slowly add more apps. I'm going to start a thread about known battery drain apps so we can start identifying those.
My Settings
Here are some settings I use that seem to work well for me. Id say these settings aren't the most conservative but they aren't battery hungry either. I didn't mess with any of the governors or voltages I just simply added these profiles to control my leankernel. Hope this helps! -Cheers

Do these settings still work good for you? I entered them into my SG3 so will see how it goes for the next few days. I am really looking for battery life more than anything.

[Q] Pushin the CPU

How about this over clocking going on here? So I finally rooted, got a ROM, flashed a kernel.. Then bought SETCPU and turned it up to 1.9ghz. This seemed to work right well, but then I discovered a tool from chainfire and found that it wasn't sticking. So I was told about and edited this thermald.conf file.
But I wanna know, what temp was it that caused this to occur, and what I have just changed?
I've overclocked 3 phones now (8125/fuze/inspire) but none were this nice (dual core for example.) and this one gets warm. But I cannot tell how warm? And now I've even changed something and don't even know what. And it was related to warm.
Tl;dr how hard is are you Pushin yer phone?

describe "overheating". what cpu temp is it reaching?
Hi,
Another one...
You have a quadcore at 2,26 Ghz device, under certain conditions (heavy games, browsing in 4g, long run heavy tasks, etc...) it's absolutely normal that the phone runs hot... And you sais it by yourself "I am playing clash of clans for a prolonged period of time."...
In any case there is a thermal protection called thermal throttling that reduces the CPU freq, the number of cores online and the screen brightness when the CPU (and/or battery) reaches some different temperature ranges, so no worries...
And even if Franciscofranco modified the thermal management, the thermal throttle is always present (you can also adjust it to reduce the heat by decreasing the CPU temp limit before thermal throttling).
But guys... in all scenarios there is the thermal throttling, and it does its job when needed. In extreme conditions the phone shutdown itself to prevent any damage. This CPU can handle more than 100 °C. Use your phone as normal, as you need... Or don't use GPS, don't play games, don't run benchs...
As an example on how thermal throttling works:

It's a quadcore at 2,26 Ghz completely enclosed without any additional cooling system, so...
It remembers me the Nexus 4 all these threads/questions about "pseudo" heating/overheating...
Like simms22 said check your temperatures and provide them to have an approach a bit more real, because "it feels hot", "it is overheating", etc... is very subjective (for example I go outdoor with a 2 °C room temperature, I take my phone stays indoor and I feel it "hot", I check the CPU temperature and it's at about 30 °C...if you know what I try to say even if it's not your case here but it's a general idea).
Also you provide more information like overclock? Undervolt? Governor (even if in Franciscofranco kernel there is only Interactive and Performance)?
I am not sure what the temp was before it shut down, but i shall try lowering the throttle temp

Re,
Because your phone shutdown when you were playing? You did not mentioned it in the OP... (it could be caused by another things too, undervolt, kernel panic, etc...).
Before shutdown, it's the ultimate thermal protection, the CPU freq decreases according to different CPU/battery temperatures to cool down the CPU (thermal throttling)... Post a last_kmsg if you have a hard-reboot to see... Post it in the kernel thread, here, or in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532422.
