Can underclocking with SetCPU prevent clock widgets from updating the time? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Don't know if SetCPU is to blame for this, but I've been noticing that occationally when I turn my screen on the clock in Beautiful Widgets is slow - sometimes just a few minutes, sometimes over an hour. I have a SetCPU profile set for screen off to 245/245 ondemand.
Thoughts?

[Q] setcpu causing screen to dim. solutions??

So basically I just rooted my phone and flashed to cyanogen mod 6.1 and I'm loving it. Thanks xda for the rooting and flashing process. I decided to go into overclocking my mytouch slide and everything seems to work perfect except for the fact when I turn off my screen and turn it back on the screen is at the dimmest setting it can get. I reset the brightness back to how I want it and then turn off the screen again and turn it on, and it reverts back to the dimmest setting. I booted up without having setcpu running and the screen settings stay the same after I turn the screen on and off. has anyone found or seen this before?? And if so, is there a solution to this problem??
Thanks
I've never heard of setCPU causing that problem. You may want to trouble shoot a bit more before pinning it on that. We need to knock some things off the list of possible culprits too.
What is the brightness set to, automatic?
Custom oc kernel (dumfuq's) or what's integrated into CM?
What are your clock settings in setCPU?
What governor are you using in setCPU?
Do you have profiles set, if so, what are they?
Have you messed with the light sensor or done any custom brightness tweaks (CM settings)?
You need to answer some of those first so we can narrow it down, you may have something set up wrong. There is also the issue of the phone not coming to full brightness when you try to catch it on the screen time out (screen is off - but not locked). That's fixed by locking it and unlocking.

CM7 Screen Wake Issues

I am having screen wake issues with my evo. Basically for those of you who don't know it's when you press the power button to unlock the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. Sometimes the buttons light up and sometimes they ddon't but I have to clclick the power buttons a few times before the screen wakes up. The following is my configuration:
Running CM7.0.1.2 with SavagedZen 2.0.2 CFS min CPU speed 245 Max 998 OnDemand governor.
I've tried to wipe and reinstall and it didn't help. Clearing Dalvik Cache didn't help either. Any help would be greatly appreciated because this is killing me!

This is a well known problem with savage-zen kernels. Try toastcfh new kernel in the dev section
This happens to me too, that's why I usually end up back on a sense ROM. Do you use a lock screen widget? Im thinking that might have something to do with it. I wasusing no lock, and it was doing that real bad, I removed the widget and wake up seems to be behaving normally now.
Edit: I too am using a savage kernel, I'll flash a different one and see if I still have the problem.
Try turning these on. Go to settings, then cyanogenmod settings, then display.
Also you could bump up your min frequency to 460 and max to 1113 with the governor on conservative.

When you turn it on, push the power button slowly, I find if I do that it seems to more reliably wake up. Also, when the screen is black but the bottom lights are on, a quick tap anywhere on the screen always wakes it up for me.
I had the same issue. My fix was to turn on both the Screen-On and Screen-Off animation in Cyanogen Mod Settings.

[Q] Screen won't turn on after timeout (cm7)

Screen goes black wont turn on power button and volume rocker unresponsive. Have to pull battery everytime. Disabled the lockscreen. Any suggestions
Turn on screen animation, turn min CPU up from 128 or whatever. If it keeps up you might have to reflash

Has anyone consistently had this problem, and then had it permanently fixed by raising the minimum CPU speed or re-flashing their phone? My friend and I both have Nexus S, both on CM7, and both have this issue of perma-black screen with non-responsive volume rocker/power button. The 4 capacitive buttons at the bottom (turned on due to a notification?) respond to touching and blink (turn) off when pressed and re-light when released. Screen animations are on, lockscreen is enabled. This has only started happening after rooting and flashing the CM7 mod, and not on an unrooted stock rom.
Should I be increasing the minimum CPU speed, or increasing the maximum CPU speed? I have SetCPU and am currently on smartassV2 when screen off, which has CPU speed from 100-200 MHz. Since the phone goes to deep sleep anyways, would I need to be raising the deep sleep cpu speed (is it 0?) to over 128, or what? The maximum speed is already over the 128 MHz, and the min speed of 100 MHz shouldn't have an additional effect (since deep sleep is already lower than 100 MHz).
Is a reflash necessary, or just a wipe of the cache/Dalvik cache?
Anyone with personal experience in fixing this issue?
I had a a similar issue and I found that for some reason with my phone and particular roms I just could not use them. Not 100% sure Y. I would try a different Rom and see if the problem happens again.
Oh and if you are going to re-install the same one again to make sure it was completely done I would wipe both caches and user data just to be sure.

[Q] CPU frequency stepping widget?

I was wondering if anyone here knows of a widget app that will allow me to quickly set my min and max frequency from the home screen?
Imagine the power manager widget (the GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, Brightness, etc, toggle widget) but instead with a bunch of frequencies for me to select. That's what I mean.

[Q] FLASH write cycles with Tasker?

So I have a Tasker profile that fiddles with governor settings to make it fairly responsive when the screen turns on. It then reverts back to more conservative type settings when the screen goes off. I'm not changing governors, just using Tasker to edit the governors settings.
Am I writing to FLASH everytime the screen goes on and off?
I figure turning the screen on 13 times per day will result in almost 10000 writes per year. I assume there's some sort wear leveling going on, but I'm wondering if I created a potential wear out issue here.
