help needed SETCPU problems

Hey guys im having trouble with my phone when setcpu is running. When ever i come out of lock screen it takes a few seconds to be able to do stuff on my phone, like its waking up from sleep. Also some times i get this message and it has to reboot.
"Sorry activity htc sense (in application HTC Sense) is not responding."
Im running the 2.6.32.15 king # 4 kernel.
My set CPU settings are on 1.15 GHz max and 460800 MHz min. Im running conservative at the moment but it does it on other scaling like performance and on demand. my setting for screen off is 460min 614 max.
Is there anything im doing wrong? or should i be using a different kernel? What kernels are the best? Thanks

I would bump up the lower end to about 600. I have have issues lower than that coming out of sleep.

im running virtuous 2.7
power saving kernel
Main Profile is 245-998 ondemand
Screen Off is 245-384 ondemand
I do not have that problem... but it would be a lie if I told you i didn't before!
I was having this problem you are talking about when my main profile was set to conservative.
EDIT: Back up your setcpu + settings in titanium... Uninstall it (or freeze it) and see if the kernel can run it just fine cause it probably will. Most kernels already have the settings for optimum performance and even the devs who make them (like hydra) say that it will work best without setcpu.

"I recommend not using the setcpu controls or governor with these kernels. Let the stock governor do the work. If you have setcpu installed I recommend clearing out the settings before flashing the kernels. You can use it to monitor cpu speeds or an app from the market called systempanel if so desired."

[Q] Set CPU Question

Hi, I am kinda confused by one thing. What is the difference between using SetCPU or similar apps (CPU Master, etc.) vs just setting the Max/Min and governors in Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Performance -> CPU Settings?
If it matters, I am using deck's gingerbread ROM and Tiamat 3.3.7 sbc.

Not much difference really. SetCPU and similar apps are mainly designed to be used on roms that don't have the feature that you're talking about.

It depends on what type of governor that you want to use. If you plan on using a smartass governor, you should not use SetCPU, but if you are going to use some of the other ones, you may want profiles for screen off, charging, etc. You need Set CPU to do the profiles.

well i dnt think cyanogen has a profile ft like setcpu

I don't think it does with the default kernel, but if you flash something like SavagedZen kernel with Cyanogen, you will see access to those governors like interactive, ondemand, etc.

I am using the Tiamat 3.3.7-sbc kernel and the available governors are: interactive, conservative, userspace, powersave, performance, smartass.

Any idea on why the settings don't stick? Sometimes I will set the Max CPU at 691MHz, but when I check after a while its back at 998MHz.

[Q] Undervolting with SetCPU?

For some reason I don't have an option to undervolt anything in SetCPU which I presume is there because it's listed as an app capability and it seems others on this forum have been able to undervolt with this app. I also understand that the ability to undervolt must be first unlocked by a kernel before it can be accessed through SetCPU, and I have this kernel flashed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466283
which does list undervolting as a possibility. Am I missing something here? Why can I only schedule profiles around clock speed?
**As a side note, I tried out system tuner and I can reach the undervolting through system tuner but I don't really like the interface for system tuner so I would prefer sticking with SetCPU if possible (especially since I already paid for it)
**My ROM is stock, does that make a difference? Isn't the capability only dependent on the kernel?

DO NOT USE SETCPU! It keeps your second core constantly running which means terrible battery life. I recommend Gideon's script or FauxClock (Which is what I use.) I also recommend undervolting it to -75 mV.

SetCPU frequencies and govenor not sticking

Running MikG3.11 along with underworld0.8 kernel nohavs noUv:
SetCPU v3.0.7
Frequency and govenor will not stick after setting. Defaults back to smartassV2 or conservative DEADLINE after screen on/off or after a reboot. Any ideas?

Do you have another app, like system tuner, or rom toolbox, that has the settings for frequency and sheduler set for "set at boot"?
i.e...perhaps another app is changing it back

Unless MIK placed something in the system/etc or in the init.d file. It only began doing this when I upgraded to the latest version of SetCPU. Not running system tuner; only running Gemini App which is a task manager and I have SetCPU marked as a Favorite so that it never gets killed. Only other thing I can think of is something in MikTweaks but I havent found any settings related to the frequency/schedulers, only memory settings and i'm using defaults.

Yeah, setCPU doesn't like to keep the CPU settings upon reboot. Just use NoFrills from the Play Store, it's free!

I agree with MBQ,No-Frills CPU is the best one out,its never givin me any problems mate.

Yep. It is the best IMO.
AND it's free

[Q] Undervolt, setCPU, and DoomKernel v14

Hi guys. I'm using DoomKernel v14, so far so good.
I install setCPU and set a couple of profiles, but when I went to undervolt there was no undervolt tab on set CPU. To handle this, I install SetXperia but when I activate setCPU profiles on boot my Xperia PLAY crashed and reboot soon after boot. So, I guess I should NOT use setCPU and SetXperia at same time, problem is I need to undervolt my PLAY so I can squeeze more power from battery.
I read the documentation (well, sort of...) in SetCPU webpage and it states "The Voltages tab is only available with some custom kernels and devices. If the Voltages tab is available, it will automatically show up between the Governor and Profiles tabs. Otherwise, the Voltages tab is unavailable.".
Now my question is: Why SetCPU is not allowing me undervolt when is obvious that DoomKernel v14 allows this (SetXperia allow me to undervolt after all)?, more important, how do I fix it?, if I change to Lupus kernel will I be able to undervolt with SetCPU (will the undervolt tab be enable in SetCPU)?
Thanks.

Ok, I just install Lupus kernel and still there is no undervolt options in SetCPU.
I'm open to suggestions.

SetXperia can modify your voltages: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SetXperia.Inteks.org
It works with both Doomkernel and Lupus.

Yeah, problem is, with SetXperia I can't set dynamic profiles like in SetCPU...
