Noob SetCPU question

Is anyone using SetCPU with the new Froyo? I just downloaded it from Marketplace and have a question. It disabled the perflock and I lowered the mhz to 806. If my intent is to get a longer battery life did I do the right thing? It was running at 998 so I'm thinking that my lowering it I'll slow down the processor and in turn give myself a bit more life in the battery. Is that right? Thanks in advance.

Disabling perflock shouldn't scale it down. Did you set it to automatically detect setting when you first started the app? If not, you should. (Might have to re-install)

Yeah it auto detected a min of 245 and max of 998. I couldn't change the max whether setting to user, ondemand or performance without disabling the perflock. Once I disabled that I was able to scale the max level down.

setcpu was causing too many crashes for me on Froyo leaked 8-01-10.
I uninstalled it for a refund.. even when it did work for me.. I didn't notice any major battery savings.

ive noticed slight battery savings with setcpu. biggest thing ive noticed is the charge time. with a set profile to run the cpu @ 245 when screen is off the phone will charge the battery to 100% from dead in just about an hour and half. and the standby time increases running that profile as well.

[Q]Set CPU Config

Hello everyone,
I just rooted my MT3GS last weekend its been running very smoothly with TeamFenix 1.7. However I have a quick question when it comes to setCPU.
Now I am not running the OC kernal right now I'm still taking advantage of the stock clock of 600MHz.
I remember that it was asking for a .txt file for configuration but does anyone have this file can point me exactly what to do. Right now I have it set onto "on demand" and enabling profiles.
EX
100-50% battery 600MHz MAX 600MHz MIN.
49-40% battery 480MHz MAX 245MHz MIN.
39-0% battery 480MHz MAX 122MHz MIN.
I want this thing to be fast as can be for a majority of the time. Any help would be nice.

its best to set it to auto detect and put it on max and just setup a profile for "screen off" and have it set to lowest without crashing

Set screen off to 245/245 this will help with battery life. I'm using the 768 oc kernal and the only profile I use is screen off.

Proper/Ideal settings of SetCPU on I9100?

Hi,
I purchased SetCPU last night from Android market but I am unable to select the correct settings for it. I tried with 'Powersave' preset as I was going to sleep, but after 5 mins when I checked my phone it was off! and I had to turn it on. Every time I select Powersave mode it is forcing the phone to go off. Then I selected 'Ondemand' preset and went to bed at 0245 hrs. Today when I woke up at 1200 hrs ( ) the battery was at 48%, while yesterday night when I selected ondemand preset it was at 53%, it's a gap of 10 hours, in the mean time the Phone was in Flight mode and everything was set to OFF. So that's a 5% battery decrease overnight. But before that, when I was at all Default settings without SetCPU installed the battery was decreasing at a rate of 2-3% overnight under same settings. So I wonder after installing SetCPU the battery back up isn't extended but actually decreased. So I was thinking it may be a problem with my settings. Can you guys please tell me that what settings should I use to get the maximum juice out of my battery and that without compromising the clock rate of the CPU? Isn't there an Automatic settings that the CPU will run at Full speed when needed and check it's speed when in Idle? I thought 'Ondemand' preset would serve that purpose but I was wrong I guess!
Thanks in advance.
Here is a screen from SetCPU,
Regards.

I've got the same problem,any help would be appreciated.

Max 500 Min 200 and work from that adjust as needed .

Oh! And by setting the upper limit to 500 MHz we won't ever be able to use the CPU at 1200 MHz, great. I should've stick with my S8500 then, eh? What do you say?

aren't you eager to criticize. there are something called profiles. does your phone require to use 1.2 ghz in sleep , low battery conditions or overheating conditions? galaxy s2 uses ondemand governor at 200 to 1200 by default. meaning when it needs power it will ramp up to 1200. it does this in steps higher than battery saving governors so you spend more time in 1.2 ghz
my advice
sorted by priority
screen off = 200 - 500
in battery < 30 use 200 to 800
overheating = 200 - 800
charging = full speed
regular use when no profiles apply = full speed

[Q] Reboot when using GPS and screen off

Hi,
I'm running a cyanogenmod 7 nightly from 19 July (but had the same problem with all previous cyanogenmod 7 nightlies as well) on my Wildfire.
GPS always works and worked fine, only when using an app that requires the GPS (navigon, openbmap, google map, google navigations, google tracks....) and I let the screen power-off ==> the phone will reboot afer a random amount of time.
I do run all the programmes of my SD since my internal memory doesn't have enough free space.
This only happens when I'm using the GPS and letting the phone power it's screen off.
My kernel settings are: ONDEMAND min 352, max 729
I'm guessing it might work if I use a higher minimum value or set the kernel to "performance", but shouldn't it automatically work with "ondemand'?
Haven't read anyone else with similar problems and found that a bit weird.

I just test it with cpu min frequency also at 729 and it still rebooted
nobody has any clue?

Try not using such a high frequency on your cpu as it is not stable for all try like 652 for a while and definatly dont use the lowest frequency for your low setting.

Hmm... I don't really think that is the problem because when I look at my CPUSpy readings i have:
729 MHz : 3:32:51
480 MHz: 1:59:44
352 MHz: 0:36:58
Deep Sleep: 37:38:39
and I've seen occasions where it had run @ 729MHz for more than ten hours...
still screen off + GPS can kill it always in less than 30min

[Q] SetCPU Randomly Rebooting One X?

Hi All,
After being a long time iPhone user i recently purchased htc one x, as a result my android skills are almost non-existent; so please bear with me.
I managed to flash clockworkmod recovery and rooted with SuperSU with no issues.
Purchased setCPU after reading the reviews and enabled. However the phone would reboot randomly a few times a day. Ususally when the screen was off.
After disabling setCPU there was no rebooting issue.
Has anyone got this app to work on the OneX, and if so which settings did you use?
Also has it been confirmed to work with all 4 cores?
FYI I had the following profiles setup.
Screen Off
Freq:640Mhz-51Mhz
Gov: conservative
Temp > 44.5
Freq:880Mhz-51Mhz
Gov: conservative
Battery < 30%
Freq:1000Mhz-51Mhz
Gov: powersave
Charging Any
Freq:1500Mhz-51Mhz
Gov: ondemand
Please note these profiles are based on no evidence, just on what I estimated to be about right...
Cheers

I did not start using SetCPU on my phone yet because it's not rooted, but first I would check if SetCPU doesn't require some kernel support? and if that's implemented in the custom ROM you're using? (if it's needed, I'm not sure).
Or maybe SetCPU needs an update to properly support our phones?
That Temp > 44.5 Profile, wouldn't that interfere with gaming? I have never used Temp profiles before (is it really needed?), only the other ones, like battery and screen-off and charging.

my one x has unlocked bootloader, recovery and root. I was running into some serious intermittent lagging issues, the phone in any app would just stall for 5+ seconds. after hours restoring after failure , it came down to the problem that using ANY cpu controll app, messed my phone up... BADLY! it seems at the moment (im assuming) apps like setcpu and cpu master are not quad core ready...

thanks for the responses guys.
I guess ill just wait until one of the devs can confirm this as working...

The reason is simple. We don't have rooted kernels yet. Until then stay away from messing with CPU speeds or under volting. Etc.

DO NOT mess with your CPU speeds yet. Undervoltage is causing reboots!

the software is not up to the hardware capability, i dont think the cpu control apps can handle quad core yet. and there is a lot of apps (esp. games) that lag a lot, and amazingly the cores are too lazy to work... im hoping for a better kernel that will address this issues.

If you want to at least see what's going on with the cores, I can confirm that Tablet CPU Usage Monitor works on HTC One X
It shows 2 icons in notification bar, each icon showing usage of 2 cores. Not sure how accurate it is, but so far had no problems with it and it seems to be reporting correctly. Developer is working on single icon with all 4cores in it, to save space.

I had the same problem, but if you delete your profiles you won't get reboots.
I'm just running default profile Max: 1500, Min: 760 Ondemand gov. and it has been a straight line for 6 hours when I was sleeping and no reboots.

I was having that problem too... In my opinion, I don't think that the phone can handle the Conservative governor setting. I set my governor to Interactive (On Demand works too)
Right now, I have my profile set to 1000mhz max and 475mhz min, with screen off profiles set to 475mhz max and min. I have not had any problems with the phone rebooting at all since setting those freqs. (And I don't want to quite go any lower yet). And I have it Set on Boot.

im now using rooted HTC One X(HOX) and installed RD-MIUI ROM quite sometimes. my kernel is still in stock. Im using setcpu and NO random reboot happen like what you have said. Yet, i am still confuse whether setcpu is good for my phone. based on my review, in the leading rom developer thread they not mention setcpu for their choice. they play alot with kernels to govern their hox cpu-s. could anyone do some comment.
