ive been running ICS since i got my phone, the battery life was horrible until i fixed the power profile, but even after that my phone's battery was not that good. i decided to flash CM10, then i switched to AOKP, both of them are awesome, but i noticed that the battery wasnt that good either, i got the ktonnsez kernel. i tried other governors, they all stay at maximum (1512MHz) after about 5 minutes of a reboot. i tried basically everything, reflash every thing, wiped everything possible. I need help plz, i wanna enjoy my S3 without worrying about the battery dying.
its all normal when i start my phone, but after 5 minutes it just stays at maximum CPU...idk why plz help im on galaxy s3 ATT i747M...i searched everywhere but still didnt find the answer
If you flashed kt747 you need to use the ktweaker app that comes with the kernel. When you find this app you need to check the two boxes into general settings

Have you solved this yet?
Try a different governor. Personally I use on demand and noop for the scheduler.
Make sure you don't have any other overclocking programs which may be conflicting. I used to use SetCPU but with the toonz kernel I get Ktweaker. So I got rid of SetCPU.
Funny yours is locking at maximum. Mine used to lock at 96Mhz and run like crap. The above method worked for me. Don't forget to make sure your running the most updated kernel, wipe cache/dalvik/fix permissions.

Tyvm, i did what u told me and its working for now, i was using ktweaker the whole time, but i like to check my current speed in ROM control, idk why maybe cuz the numbers are bigger? ;P im still not sure if its going to work for a long time, i did a reflash yesterday, i charged my phone at 100 percent last night, and it was sitting on low frequency, when i woke up, i was suprised to see a 6% drop of the battery, leaving me 94% left. but the speed was at 1512. and cell standby was using most of the battery.

TY, ive tried switching governors before and it didnt work. But when i tried this morning, it worked... really strange.
Idk if it will last long, my phone likes to jump around from normal to maximum without me even touching the phone
Use ktweaker instead of the rom settings. Go to the performance section in settings and disable set on boot. Then, go to ktweaker and set as "apply settings immediately after boot". Once you're done, set to whatever you want it to be.

I just rooted my incredible and I'm using the kernel that came with it stock. I disabled perflock and I left the max speed to 998 and the min speed to 245.
When I'm not doing anything on my incredible, I see that the speed constantly changes from the max to the min. Not even one second passes before it just goes back and forth, back and forth. Is this normal?
Coming from the d1 where it would stay at the min when idle, I'm not sure if what's going on with my incredible is normal.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yes that's normal. For better battery life, I'd try a kernel with smartass governor. It spends more time on the lower frequencies.

Switching to a different kernel will give you the ability to overlook//underfoot the system needed.. this in turn increases battery life.. kingklick, ziggy's, chad's kernel are all well known kernels.. you will want to play with different kernels.. not every kernel will be stable to overlook to certain speeds on certain Rom's.. switching kernels is almost as addictive as switching roms.. always nandroid before flashing anything..

Yea! By stock i'm assuming all you did was root. I am currently running SkyRaider 3.5 Sense along with

My phone runs amazingly fast with sense but yet, even with heavy usage (Texting constantly, on the internet, gmail, even Fring) I can go an easy 24 hours on one charge. If my phone stays screen-off idle I could last at 95%-100% for several hours.
Yes, all I did was root.
Does the chad kernel provide wireless tether and will i still need to disable perflock in setcpu?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the non stock kernels all disable perflock already, you do not need to do it..
flash the kernel via clockwork, and you are set.. jump into setcpu and adjust some settings and add profiles.. you'll be golden..

Not quite. I believe Lou's has some tweaks within perflock, so disabling it would lose those.
And most kernel devs, particularly Lou and the ones who use HAVS, advise against using SetCPU. I'd check with your chosen kernel thread for details.

Also, I wouldn't 'set on boot', at least till you find frequencies that your phone can handle safely. Otherwise, you'll get a 'crash' loop, where your phone starts up just fine, but once you go past the initial lockscreen it'll crash and reboot. Very annoying...

what rager said... ive put on kernels and ran em high only to get a "boot loop".. its tuff to get out of cause you need to get back into setcpu to scale back otherwise it keep on going.... i learned to put the setcpu app icon on my main screen so i can get there fast to scale back..

Yeah, if you let it boot loop too long it'll hard boot, which is where the phone cuts off completely. That has happened to me, and it ruins apps.

I'm running back into the problem of custom Roms freezing on me, no FC's, just the phone freezing and requiring a battery pull to re-boot. I odin EC05 plus, let it boot and sit for a few minutes, reboot, let it convert, flash cwm purple, wipe, then flash whatever rom, and eventualy they all freeze.
The only roms to never give me that problem is CM7, MIUI and true stock.
Tried everything, except for not using the stock cable, but even still, cm7 and miui have no problem.

I've had the same problem with SRF 1.2...and I linked the problem to certain SetCPU settings like on demand and userspace and to undervolting to much in the higher OC'd frequency ranges...even though I've experimented wih these settings and found a somewhat stable medium...I still get the random freezes once in a blue...I don't know what else it could be.
Sent from my rooted, suited, & booted Epic 4G kno dat!
Right now I'm on SRF with the 1.1.1 Kernel, using setCPU 200-1000, cfq, and no undervolting at all. I was on the 1.1.0 Kernel using voltage control when I had it freeze. I've uninstalled voltage control and galaxy tuner. Oddly enough setcpu dosent fc when I go into the voltages, which it did a few flashes back.

I wasn't sure, but I figured with using setcpu it would be best to uninstall it so there wasn't any sort of conflicts between the two.

If you aren't undervolting and are having this issue on multiple ROMs, it sounds like a conflict between some apps like you suspected. That or something is not right with your phone. Freezes happen to me when undervolting too much but you aren't doing that....edit...maybe your phone just doesn't like the 200 minimum that well. If I remember right, stock values are 1000 max and 400 min.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I'm wondering if maybe the 200mhz is whats doing it then, I always figured 200-1000 was stock, and the phone would only freeze when the screen was off. Right now I'm using setCPU with it set at 200-1000 with cfq IO scheduling. If I have more freezes I will try bumping up to 400-1000.

im currently undervolted with the aosp rom from dub with genocide's final kernel...200mhz is perfectly fine...if 200 is underclocked too low or other frequencies are too low...sod or freezes will happen with the frequency with the wrong voltage is reached..i have setcpu and voltage control together but mainly use the new setcpu...when idling, i see a 1 percent draw in 2 hours and 6 minutes...and use stability test whenever you underclock to see if it safe to use...just my 2 cents...
I keep hearing people say they uv -xx number to save battery, how do you do that?
You can check the kernel thread you installed from. Usually use echo command and point to vdd_table. If you don't understand what undervolting is, you may not want to do it. It can cause issues if you undervolt too much. It can save battery life, but i would suggest using setcpu, you can find a free copy on xda, and setting profiles, like screen off, in call, etc., to lower values. I would say, stay above 300MHz for min. and clock down the max. Min are: 384-540 for screen off; 384-540 for in call. also, with some roms, you can set the main value, on the first tab, to a lower figure in the max column. I don't charge my phone everyday anymore.
Thanks for the detailed info. But I heard there's an app that does uv?

Luckily, I do use Juggernaut.

I've used up my "thanks" for today but I'll definitely come back tomorrow.
What is the uv number I should generally set to save battery but not have the phone freeze?
If I set it to negative too much and the phone freezes, I just reboot the phone and re-set the number to a higher (less uv) value?
it's different from phone to phone, you just gotta try it out and see.. i UV mine about 100mv under stock at 1.51ghz

Mine can do 100 also
I can only go -62.5. Anything over that will freeze the phone...
How come every phone is different in this regard, does this mean my phone is "born" to consume more battery?
Thought I saw posted somewhere here not to use SetCpu on our phone? FauxClock always FC's on me. Running Jugs overclock on rooted/flashed T-Mo SGS2.
Just bought it but I don't really get it. Both the max and the min. Are at 1.5 set on on demand but at the top it says 384 mhz (I'm guessing that's the current clock speed since I'm not doing anything) don't know which one to trust. should I set the min. at 384 ?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Set the min at 384 and the max where ever you want. Stock is 1.5. You can underclock or overclock (if your kernel supports it). If you overclock dont check set on boot til you have played around with your phone and are sure that your phone can handle it. You can choose what ever governor works best for you. Conservative is best for battery, performance is the worst. Most people go with on demand, but your results may vary.
I've found that the smartassv2 governor gets me the best results.
But its very unstable and can cause crashes.

Try clearing the data on set CPU and then uninstalling and re -installing. If that doesn't work, but into recovery and wipe data and wipe dalvik .

Or if that doesn't work go into your superuser app and hit menu, then preferences and update your superuser binaries. Sometimes if they are out of date it can cause issues with set CPU.

So I tried Miui finally, and so far I love the battery life. I'm using Mason Kernel and I was downloading some apps and changed my CPU speed, well, i acidentally scrolled too far and set it to 1.2 and my phone instantly froze and rebooted. I never even took my finger off the slider so Idk how it set already.... I certainly will not be using Miui toolboxes cpu controller anymore....
How do I fix my phone from constantly rebooting? It's stuck on 1.2ghz and i can't get into the CPU controller to change it.
Complete wipe and reflash, is my suggestion
