Setcpu troubleshooting

I have setcpu running on desire with neophyte v1.2 ROM. It was running perfectly until I put it to charge overnight while sleeping.. when I woke up, the display shows that the phone is running at max speed constantly when it was set to "ondemand". I also have a profile with 245 min/max when screen off but when I wake up after 8hrs, I go to the info tab, I see that my phone is spending more time on max speed than 245 which doesn't make sense because the phone has majority of time with screen off..
What am doing wrongly here?

need help....

what other profiles do you have?

i have 2 profiles.
one is 245 min 245 max when screen off (priority 100)
the other is 245 min 998 max when charging or full when charging (priority 50)
did i do anything wrong?

Has ur SetCPU got granted by SuperUser?

yup it is. in fact it was working properly until i leave it to charge. i tried uninstalling and re-installed but still it clocks at 998. the sleep profile doesnt seem to work well too

Try using a different ROM.
I experienced the same with the other ROMs when using the ondemand governor. I'm now using Nextsense 5.3 and the kernel allows "interactive" governor in SetCPU and my CPU speed stays at the lowest limits when idle.

do u have any profile for screen off? does it work?
from the info tab, i see my phone spent more time on max speed than min even though most of the time the screen is off

Yup it works. Screen off profile--> Max=384 // Min=245
Try a ROM that supports interactive governor.
EDIT:
My "Time in State"
245 = 1352167
998400 = 18389

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] underclocking too much?

Hi all, first post here at xda, am fairly new to android devices and am wondering if someone could share some knowledge please? After installing my first Rom (m1ndh4x3r 2.3.5) I haven't been receiving any calls... A friend today said I may be underclocking the phone too much for it to wake on time to ring? Had it set at 200mhz with screen off. After setting it to 480mhz I received a call straight away, question is, have you had this problem too and what's the lowest setting advised that I can have it on please?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice

Your phone is built to run at 600 MHz. Not at 200. You can use apps like setcpu and no frills cpu control to control your phone. These apps let you set the minimum and maximum value of the cpu frequency. You should let it run at its full capability. Optimal settings would be something like
Min: 320
Max: 600
Governor: smartass2
You can underclock more when you are not using it or not expecting calls ( in the night).

You can also set your minimum to 120 MHz, but usually, it'll go into deep sleep mode, rather than stay on 120 MHz. Also, when listening to music, I've noticed, it stays on 320 MHz.

My minimum setting is 120 independently from which ROM (i tried 5 ROMs) I use (3month use = 0 problems).

More Govenors for CM7

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any effort to port the following governors to the Defy for CM7?
SmoothAss,
LagFree,
SmartassV2
I ask because I am using Smartass now and while it is great for the battery life(especially when you undervolt), it isn't as responsive when it needs to wake up on a call (screen stays black for 2-3 rings), and phone call processing can be kind of choppy when using HSPA (3G connection). Also sometimes the Mp3 playback skips when background data process goes off, or tower coverage changes.
---
I have seen SmartassV2 on Motorola DEXT and it rocks. 2 Days use worth of average phone use without charging.
Thanks in advance all.

tsurerb now
Any word on feasibility? Is this the wrong place to post this? I seem to have solved some of the problem by putting the first cpu setting at 400mhz. But it is apparent that the cpu never ramps to the second setting of 600mhz. I hear the newer governors solve these issues.

hi, dunno about supporting smartassv2, but you can set smt_sleep_max_freq to your clk2 speed, so in sleep smartass dont limit your defy to 300mhz. You dont be "saving" the batery charge like the smt_sleep_max_freq = clk1 but i think it will be better than having 400mhz in clk1

[Q] Frequency Scaling

How to set Frequency Keep on 810 Mhz and never get back as default frequency 1512Mhz? (Like the Frequency FILTER) ,
I often use ZL to play games with very long time (4 hours/day) already im set the freq to 810 Mhz , Interactive / CFQ but while playing Heavy Games the Freq Is cumback *Comeback* to the Default as 1512 Mhz. and make Device Going very HOT and drain battery Very Fast . I think if the Freq down and only 2 CPU works the Device not too hot for playing games and Battery not Drain Fast...Anybody got Right Solution ?
*Wi-fi not active and Im usually using 3G/HSDPA for Internet Connection.
