Is it normal that quick system info reports my cpu clock is at 1.4ghz instead of 1.5?

Hi. I have a rooted HTC One X international version with the quad core processor supposedly. 1.5ghz but when i checked quick system info it says my cpu clock is only running at 1.4ghz. I have set cpu installed and i have ensured that ive set the min and max to 1.5ghz but still it remains at 1.4ghz. I dont know if it was like this before i rooted my device or before i installed setcpu, or if this is just the way its supposed to be. Please advice.
If ever this is unusual, could someone tell me how to fix it? Should i reflash the kernel or bootloader?
Thanks in advance for ur help.

i tried it and the cpu range shows as 51 to 1500 no probs.
try cpu spy, then run a bench mark service, then go back to cpu spy and check if it reached 1500ghz

Oh, sorry if I got misunderstood. Setting the range is NOT the problem. I can set it just fine, and the profiles work well too. It's just that if I set the min and max to 1500mhz, the ACTUAL cpu clock (the large number on top of the min and max sliders) remains at 1400. When I lower/change the min max, the frequency lowers/changes accordingly. But, as I mentioned, the max ACTUAL cpu frequency remains at 1400mhz even though the sliders are already set to 1500mhz.
So, I want to know if that's normal. I read from somewhere that the maximum frequency for multi-core is 1400mhz and the maximum frequency for single core is 1500mhz. But I'm not sure though so I want to verify that information.
Thanks!

[Q] ARHD with XM Kernel 1.3ghz default?

Hi i have ARHD on my phone with the XM Kernel. I was slightly suprised in the Trickster MOD app, the max clock speed is 1.3ghz. Yes i know i can OC to 1.5 but im not sure what is setting this. When i had ARHD installed with stock kernel it was showing 1.3 as default. I assume that was set by the ROM. But i installed this kernel and still has 1.3 as the default.
Also the default govenor settings for the gaming one has the boost_freq set at 1300000, which is 1.3ghz, that can be changed to 1.5 also. But surely the boost freq would be the max freq no matter if you move the slider to 1.5 in the basic controls? But i would be suprised that the gaming govenor would underclock the cpu, surely for gaming you would want the phone maxed out?
Is this expected with the XM Kernel and the ARHD? And if so, is there any things i can change in the govenor settings to make sure it performs at absolute max?

It's kernel related; Xmisters' kernels since 188 have a hard cap(1.3Ghz) by default, but using trickster mod, or another o/c apk, you can raise it to the stock 1.5Ghz(tick 'set on boot' to ensure it stays at 1.5) The best settings are trial and error, tbh, I use touchdemand/sio though smartmax seems to be the best balance.

Thanks for the answer. i can change it to 1.5 easy enough, but if you look in the govenor control, the boost_freq is is set to 1300000. If i left it at that, would it prevent the cpu from going up to 1.5?

you have sleep (lowest CPU can go), ideal freq(the speed the CPU aims for while awake), touch poke (when you touch the screen), boost (what it boosts too to prevent lag) and max (CPU flat out)
Setting the boost to 1.3 will still allow the could to run at full speed.

That makes sense, cheers. So its probably a good idea to leave it as it is then.

[SetCPU]-[Tweak Stock Rom] Better Battery Backup & Better Performance

Hey Guyzzz..!!
We all having a issue in STOCK ROM to Underclock or Overclock the cores using SetCPU, as the changes won't apply to all cores. YES!!!, Kernel didn't support that feature. But here is a simple way to overcome this problem and hope you'll like this cool feature tooo...
DON'T TURN ON ECOMODE AS IT MESS UP WITH SETCPU SETTINGS
Steps:
Turn off ECOMODE
Install SetCPU app from Playstore
Open app & Set Max freq to 594 and Min freq to 384 in Main tab and Click Set on boot
Customize profiles according to your wish (For Games give max freq as 1512ghz ...etc...)
Open RootExplorer
Copy the file /system/etc/thermald-8064.conf to sdcard (Backup the file)
Open the file thermald-8064.conf from /system/etc in text editor
Scroll down and change the values 1512000 &1188000 to 594000 (Refer Screenshot to change the settings)
Change the GPU values to 400000 (Refer same screenshot)
Save and exit
Change permission to rw--r--r--
Restart
To confirm whether these settings working properly, Download chainfire's Perfromance Monitor app
Now if you change freq in Setcpu, it'll be applied to all cores....:good::good:
**594000 is the recommended value and do not use 384000 or 486000 which slows down the boot of mobile**
If this thread is Useful, Pls Rate as 5Star and Hit Thanks too...

Thanx hassan, I will give it a go on the weekend and report back

I did exactly step by step as you provided. Nevertheless I did not manage to apply the set speed restrictions to all the 4 cores, but only to one. Namely using the Performance Monitor app, the "cpu0" indeed did not cross 594, but "cpu1", "cpu2" and "cpu3" went till 1512. So what could be the case?
Best regards

Have yu given the proper permission to the file in /system/etc...?? Also dont turn on eco mode it wont overwrite the setcpu settings.... For me everything is wrking cool... Games i use 1512mhz, for fb, messengr i clocked to 1026, for watsapp 810,...Till now everything is goin gud...aftr edited the file yu need to reboot to apply the settings...

I did not have to give the proper permissions, as they were already before and after editing rw-r-r. Also the ECO mode was turned off already weeks ago. After editing I rebooted the phone as well...Do not understand why it´s not working for me?
Locked bootloader should not affect this. Right?

Yep. I did everything as provided in your screenshot, including changed all the "thresholds" and "thresholds_clr" values to the ones you prescribed.
One thing I presumably did not do was setting up profiles in SetCPU. I just set the max and min frequencies, after what happened that only one core managed to stay within the limitations, other 3 did what they wanted

Erm...What do you mean with this?
I just tried once more. Did everything step by step. The result is the same - PerMon shows "cpu0" as I set in SetCPU 384-594, other three cores are running up to 1512 :silly:

However, while messing around with the SetCPU and the 8064.conf file, I noticed the following. Namely that the SetCPU could handle the 4 cores simultaneously with the stock conf file as well, but only then when you upgrade the max speed up, not down. For example with the stock conf file I set the min freq in SetCPU 384 and max 594, rebooted and then PerMon showed that none of the 4 cores exceeded 594. Then for example I set the max to 1350 and again none of the 4 cores exceeded 1350. But then when I lowered the max to 1026, then only the 1st core named in PerMon "cpu0" did not exceed the limit while the rest 3 cores went up to the last max speed (i.e to 1350). If I then rebooted, then again all the 4 cores adhered to the latest min/max frequencies, which in case of my example was min 384 and max 1026, which were the latest frequencies I set in SetCPU.
I hope my explanation is clear enough.

Ya yu are absolutely ryt... It doesn't apply the settings to all core when changing the freq in main tab... But if yu create profile for the apps with max and min freq that tym it works flawlessly....!!

How do I reset ALL overclocking/underclocking settings to default?

So ive installed and uninstalled some overclocking apps, and now i cant change my cpu frequency anymore. Well i can change them in trickster mod, for example, but it doesnt seem to affect anything.
See screenshots to see what i mean.
Its always running on either 1500 or 380mhz. So it ignores my set min freq.
I also cant edit /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_maxfreq and minfreq. Is this just info about the min and max applicable frequencies?
Stock settings are min 1026 and max 1512
The app i used to make changes with was cputuner and i uninstalled it the correct way. I set it at min 384 first. And before uninstalling i set it to 1026, but even then the cpu would sometimes run at 384mhz...
What do i do to get stock settings back and/or get my cpu to listen to triclstermod?
Im running the latest elementalx kernel. Would reflashing the kernel help?
Edit 2 what the problem basically is: the cpu just seems to ignore my settings. If i set the min freq to 1026, it will sometimes run at 594 mhz.

I cant add photos to my first post... Sorry.
Its not that its a bad thing, but if it scales down to 593mhz, it must only do so because i set it at that min freq. I just need to make sure the device does as it's told before i start undervolting.

Cpu problem

My cpu is scaling to 900mhz, any one can help me to fix this at 300 mhz. I tried a lot of apps but nothing change, is there a tool to modify the cpu freq in the kernel ?

U hv to root ur phone and then install SetCPU...then set the min frequency as 300 mhz

I tried a lot of cpu apps, look no frills cpu, set spu etc.. But nothing change, see the attachment

in general section there is a thread with Thermal Config to prevent lagging and overheating by ravinder003
Use that thermal config

I deleted the red lines in the thermal config too but now i just want to set my cpu min to 300, i juste want to modify the cpu freq in the kernel

What cpu frequency to set for gaming and also for battery saving

In No-frills Cpu set Governor to powersave and also go to nofrills cpu settings and check prevent changes from other apps.
However it may cause unexpected behaviour like hangs and slow down so better stay bit above of 300Mhz.

Delete the thermal engine file. Then go to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
There you'll see two files at the bottom ~ scaling_max_freq and scaling_min_freq
Change the values in them. See if it works.
EDIT: Seems like you already tried it.

Check apply on boot in no frills cpu. However it wont always stay on 300 bcoz its based on performance. if you want it to stay near to 300 always then reduce max freq. If it still doesnt work and you are on miui then change your rom...Try using mokee rom.
