[Q] setcpu settings - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All.
In your opinion, what are the best settings for htc desire (including advanced settings and perflock) please ?

Yeah would like to know also the best settings.

Set Max to Max
Set on boot: on
Leave the rest alone

Doesn't that defeat the object?
Having it on Max (as it originally was) would make no change at all.
Idea is to slow the processor down in certain circumstances and help reduce power and battery drainage.

Undervolt reduces power usage, not underclock.
Non-sense roms can be overclocked but you have to set it. Ie set it to Max.

whats this about using a text file on the memory card to make it run better?

Hm If I use setcpu ,and I set it at 122-244 will I gain more battery?)(it will run slowly but still...)

Yes, it will make your battery last longer. I use "CPU tuner" (free) to set my processor to 246MHz all the time (using the "Extreme Save Battery" governor).
I also use "AutomateIt" (also free) to disable mobile data and disable sync when the screen turns off, and re-enable them when the screen comes on.

if you set it too slow yes it will slow down your dhd.. if you like try to set it to powersave. it will get a bit slower but it will also save a lot of battery
122-244? Isn't that very laggy?
It will be much slower than any other phone.. Even ZTE Blade will go faster

when i tried that it turned off my phone .. i dont think that its a good idea because it's a pity to have such a powerful phone and set it to that low..!

be careful and don´t go under 100 mhz because can be possible that your DHD don´t has strong enough to exit of the standby mode!
I use a modified CM7.1 and at 122-244 it works pretty smoth and fast....I could get used with it...and on quadrant i get around 600

Best SetCPU Config for Desire

Hello
Does anybody use set cpu with HTC Desire ?
I would like to know wich settings work the best for you. I am trying to get the best compromise between battery life and performance.
Thanks
128MHz - 998MHz ondemand. I get more than enough life out of it. I found that if your using AOSP and not really doing much on it like just texting or calling people, capping the max to about 600MHz or 500MHz if you want, works a dream and you get even longer out of it.
Smartass is better or worse ?
I do not see any real difference between smartass and interactive in term of battery live and performance.
On demand seems to drain slightly faster than smartass.
I set my Desire to 384-1136 with interactive govenor.
I charge it once i a day each time before I go to bed anyways (sleeping time usually23.00 - 05.00), so further battery saving is not necessary to me
Edit...my normal usages are:
Syncs (no auto sync by opening):
Friendstream 4 hrs
News 4 hrs
Weather 6 Hrs
push Yahoomail
push Googlemail
push Whatsapp
push EBuddy
Active background :
Lookout antivirus
No app killer used
Phone calls : about 1-2 hrs each day
Music listening mit DSP add-on : 4 hours
Fruit ninja (man! this is addictive!) : 1 hrs
Browsing (Dolphin HD + Android market) : 2 hrs
welll....every time I charge my battery it is about 15-25% left till out of juice...if I use my phone more than those, I have to charge it earlier (more than once a day)
245 - 985 MHz Conservative give mere 36 hours power and running smooth.

For me the battery has never lasted more than a day... Even on my un-rooted one...
BTW: Battery live depends on many things
1. Your ROM and kernel
2. Your runnning application, syncs, etc.
3. your usage and settings such as cpu freq, display brightnes, airplane mode, etc.
4. Received signal quality.
5. The condition of the battery...is it top fit for example?
It is difficult to measure the battery live.
@atuladhikari : battery live has nothing to do with rooting..

I don't like using any of the other governors since I get lag. I hate lag. OnDemand gets rid of the lag for me. I've had it before where I was using smartass and it took ~30 seconds for my screen to turn back on from idle. I wasn't too impressed.
setcpu
thanks meaple for your advice
i think that set cpu is fine on "ondemand" for some roms and for others roms no
set cpu is included on oxygen settings and running well
Cool, I need to download Setcpu
128-998 ondemand
screen off 128-384 ondemand
in call 128-384 ondemand
I get very good battery and performance with theses settings.
Which app do you guys recommend? Tried overclock widget doesn't seem to be working.
Am on Insertcoin stock GB rom.

DidI do that?....I did.... LOL.
I used to use set cpu
set a profile like
Smartass
on charge - 1113mhz
80% - 100% - 998mhz
59% - 79% - 600mhz
35% - 58% - 500mhz
Screen Off - 300mhz
Priority was higher for lower battery %
BUT I stopped using it because of the little bugs, like when it changes to 384mhz for no reason after unlocking screen
It also affects the standard script with the rom you install, so you can never uninstall it properlu, you have to do a full wipe install and never install it, until I did that my phone was always a little laggy
I prefer my phone without it Each to their own
@shankly1985 - you didn't noticed wakeup lag with 128 MHz?
I must use 245 - x MHz to properly and fast unlock my phone.
Best Setcpu config for Desire is - no Setcpu at all.

I couldn't agree more with you. Experienced all of the above so no go.
245-1033mHZ with smartass give me two day out of my desire loaded with insercoin 1.0.9 with v06 kernel !
I am mostly sending Text message and some calls.

Not at all mate, I get zero lag on my phone. when I check the info on the setcpu app and time in state 128 is at 85% so my phone is using very little cpu.

Voltage control questions

I finally got srf 1.2 to work really good. I have a few questions about voltage control.
1. Is it safe to overclock and undervolt?
2. What advantages will I see from undervolting, longer battery life?
3. Does overclocking really make that much difference, and is it safe?
4. Is there a how to, or a guide that can show me how to do it?
Thanks
Yes its safe just don't use the set on boot feature. As for battery improvement some people notice a difference and others don't I personally do undervolt. As for the guide just mess around with it for a while everyone Has different Preferences so results will always be different. I don't undervolt below 75 cause when I do I get lock ups. If you lock up just pull the battery and you'll be fine. I also recommend to use journaling ON cause if you lock up and pull the battery with journaling off you might get data corruption.
Hope this helps.

What kernel are you on?
I'm on Twilight and can overclock to 1.3ghz with full stability. I don't undervolt. Combination of my phone doesn't like it and I'm not looking to save that little battery to get wakelocks (phone doesn't come out of sleep mode because the processor speed is too slow or doesn't have enough juice to make that push.)
If you're using a kernel that can go to 1.4 or 1.5 test it for a while before you save your settings. Also consider buying the paid version. It allows over volting which may allow you to supply enough power if 1.4 or 1.5 causes freezes.
The app is pretty basic. The top bar on the first screen is how low you allow the processor to go in speed. The bottom is how fast. Lower than 100 mhz causes wakelock for me. Or used to. Haven't tried since. My settings are 200-1300 mhz. Second page is voltages. They start at default. If you have extreme, moving them to the right will overvolt and give those speeds extra power. Moving the slider to the left undervolts. Some people can only undervolt at the lowest speeds of say 100-400 mhz. It's a lot of trial and error. Have fun though!
So on the main page my settings are 200-1300, then I press apply settings. How can I tell If it is working, it does not seem that much faster? Do I have to set this every time I turn my phone on? Do I want to save thos for boot up?

When you turn your phone off then on, does it show those same settings? The speed boost will be slight. It's not like we're resurrecting Jesus here.

Setcpu and settings

Hi to all,
Yesterday I flashed a Bindroid Rom.. it seems to be very very optimal for battery consumption.
And then, to improve battery consumption, I would know:
1 - setCPU or similar: in wich way must I set to improve battery charge? (I don't interested in performance, velocity, reactivity, but ONLY on battery consumption on my DHD)
2 - setCPU or similar: what mean governor settings?
Thanks a lot

Try ocbeater apk, seems to be simple..
To reduce battery consumption on your DHD, you might want to know exactly what each governor do. Usually it is set to ondemand in default. Ondemand raise the cpu speed gradually based on system workload. It is a balanced governor for speed and energy saving. You can adjust its threshold value and powersave bias to suit your needs.
For more energy saving, it is recommended to use conservative as your governor. It tends to reduce the cpu speed below the actual need. In other words, it sacrifices performance for more juice for your DHD.
Edit: Powersave governor is not recommended as it will force the cpu speed to the lowest speed available which mean super lag.

Ok. Now I try ocuvbeater. I set to conservative but min and max freq? 245760 min and 768000 max now.. could be ok?

Yep, that would do just fine. Also, adding a sleep/wake profile can boost the battery life even more. Then observe and compare the battery life between now and then. Try to play with the app and fine tune the settings to suit your need.

Given that I have never use OC/UV Beater, I don't know exactly the setting is, but I could tell from the pictures that it has no sleep profile. All the other configs are all correct.

How low can I set the processor frequency to in rooted Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro - SM-J210F?

I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro - SM-J210F. How low can I set the frequency?
Currently it shows only 5 presets - 768 MHz, 900 MHz, 1200 MHz, 1350 MHz, 1500MHz
What is the best possible lowest processor frequency so that my phone does not reboot or freeze?
Also how can I enable hotspot in ultra power saver mode.
IMO the lowest network frequency setting depends on what network frequency band is used: GSM and/or HSDPA and/or LTE.

Only a false undervolting can lead to a freeze / reboot: the mentioned clock frequencies are stock ones hence none of these will lead to a freeze / reboot, means you can apply the lowest one what is 768 MHz.

The Performance Tweaker app doesn't allow any other frequency besides these 5 stock frequencies. How can I safely lower below it, without changing to other rom or flashing a new kernel.

Hmmm. I once reduced it to the least possible preset because of an overheating issue but that just makes your device too laggy. So, I just don't recommend reducing it's frequency to a lower value. It might even cause crashes...

Oh, and how did you achieved it.
Also is undervolting possible in android? It really sucks the battery and I just use hotspot, minimally I use other apps.

I've already mentioned that it was a preset(the least one of the 5 you've mentioned). That itself is too bad and making it even lower will be like you're using a phone from previous century. So, don't decrease your processor frequency.
If you need a better battery life, I recommend you to debloat your UI and then keep and check on background running tasks from developer options in settings. Did you try checking the background processes(not the recent apps one)?

I cannot say in general but in my case it did increased the battery usage, and this happens only when I am using my mobile hotspot.
Only during that time, Android OS process spikes consumption.
Which rooted OS do you use, and how is the battery performance for it.

I'm using RROS based on android 7 on one and android 10 gsi on another. Both show a better battery performance than the stock roms. And the overall performance is also better.
