My phone keeps moving the setting on cpu, it's set for 1.5 to 348mhz but when I back out it goes to 1.5 to 1.3 and my battery been dying so fast I ready factory reset my phone but still happens not running no custom kernel

Are you saying its going from 1.5 to 1.3 as the max or the min? What are you using to adjust these parameters?
The CPU is designed to range from 96Mhz all the way to 2.1 GHz depending on the kernel. Stock is 384 MHz to 1.5 GHz. The CPU with adjust according to load. The real way to see what the CPU is actually doing is to install CPU Spy from the market.
You need to provide the kernel your using, the ROM, if its ICS or JB. You can't be on stock

im trying to set 1.5 to 348 min. but when i set and back out it goes to 1.5 to 1.3 min. im on serenity 1.2 rom and i just flashed ktoonsez kernel to see if it will stick now and it doesnot and im on Jb

Are you using ktweaker to set the values? It comes with the ktoonz kernel. And make sure it has root permissions as well.
Also install the app I mentioned from the play store (free) and see if your phone is going to "deep sleep".

i did try that ktweaker in that app it says 1.5 to 348 min but in other apps it says1.5 to 1.3 or 1.5 to 1.5 and yes it says deep sleep 4%

You might not have a problem after all. As long as the CPU is scaling from the 1.5 to 384, your phone is running fine.

deep sleep means your radio, 3g, wifi etc all pretty much shut off. The only things that 'wake' them up to sync and check email etc are 'wakelocks'.
Your phone shouldn't be in such a high cpu range unless your using an app. My guess is an app wakelock is out of control and forcing your phone to do this. If you are on a ktoonsez kernel or rom go and lock the cpu frequencies at about 918mhz. When you lock frequencies it won't go as high, but the problem of a background app setting off wakelocks won't go away
Get bettery battery stats for bettery results
Be sure to thank me!

My phone goes into deep sleep it does not have wake locks problems. My problem is in my set cpu app it says 1.5 to 1.5 min it won't let me stick anything and I just won't back to stock and had to root again and download set cpu again and it says 1.5 to 1.5 min I though maybe it was a rom but it's still doing it idk if it's just the app doing that

SetCPU and screen not turning on...

Now I am not blaming the app I am just wondering... everynow and then, when I wake my phone up, it doesn't want to wake up or when I turn it on and try to unlock it freezes... was wondering if anyone else was getting the same thing.

SetCPU issues
I have been having the same issues myself. Mine was set low to 100min/max: screen off just as a test today and it did that to me a on a few seperate occasions. Not sure why, just ended up battery pulling after 10-15 seconds of no response from the phone.
The cpu is set too low on screen off, go for 245 or so
setcpu does not play nice with r phones. i had problems witth it on every kernal i played with. right now im using the mix up kernal. i used setcpu to 1.2ghz max and 100mhz min. conservative governore. i have yet to find a set up to use while the screen is locked with no issues. what i do know is galaxy s phones only like the conservative setting. maybe a 400mhz max 100mhz min with conservastive governore would work?
Make sure setcpu is set to conservative. I set my lowest to 200mhz and max at 1200. No issues here other than sometimes the notification pull down bar is laggy but it does that stock anyway.

Any1 know how to get to 1.4 ghz? my max is 1.2 on setCPU and i have voodoo kernel flashed
Try this to hit 1.4.

There's a kernal that allows you to hit 1.4ghz its the overclocked one from baked snacks

The rom don't control the cpu speeds. The kernal does. You cab run any rom kernal combo you would like. In order to hit the 1.4ghz you want you need to run a kernal that is capable of doing so

Is SetCPU really necessary anymore? If you run a kernel that's not locked into performance mode it will scale on it's own even without SetCPU. I haven't installed it on my Epic yet and when monitoring the phone with SystemPanel I see my CPU go down to 200mhz when idle and scale up when processes are running.
Where is the kernel for 1.4? I have baked snack rom max is 1.2 i know kernel is the part that "controlls" speed but I'm stuck. Any help

[Q] Voltage settings

Just curious to see what voltage settings people were using in conjunction with joker's kernel. Screen shots? Post? Whatever. I'm interested!

I'm -50 undervolt a running good. No random reboots or anything. Even played Dead Trigger for an hour and all good. I am also running at 1.62 overclock. All is good.

Running 25 under and still good. I'll probably overclock it to get better performance.

I assume you are -50 on just the highest clock setting?

No -50 on all clock speeds. I use faux123 from the market. I was running -25 then just bumped it down some more. Might try -75 soon.

Gpu overclock

Hello
I'm currently using a note2core asylum kernel which supports both cpu and gpu overclocking. My question is, how do I go about overclocking the gpu? Any help will be appreciated.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Don't need that overclock note 2 is an excellent phone more than a phone...my oppinion
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I know. Its all for.research purposes anyway
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure if note2core supports stweak but that's the app you need to over clock. There are other but I prefer this one. It will give you a maximum slide to 1800mhz and also tons of other features such as adjusting charging amp, under volting including for the gpu as well. There's not much to know about over clocking as its pretty straight forward but you can change the xpu governor and the number of cores you want activated and how you want them to activate based on your usage. Under volting will help with both temperature and battery life although I find the changes almost insignificant, but you should try it out. If you want to undervolt start with around - 25mv.
Sent from the rabbit hole.
You are talking about cpu not gpu
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Okay it's not that different. Just over clock it and undervolt at the same time to - 25mv and then download an app called stabilitytest from play store. Run it for 10minutes and see if you get any error. If not then further lower the voltage to - 50mv. But usually - 25 is good. I noticed that anything higher clocks peed than 5xxmhz starts causing error and graphic glitches.

[Solved]Disable the second cpu core?

Is it possible to disable the second cpu core?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Kernels put the second core to sleep when not needed. I find it sleeping on mine most of the time. If are talking of disabling it totally, I'm not sure.

Yeah I kind of just wanted to disable it completely and mayne be able to turn it on and off on demand. I find it always turns the secind core on even just scrolling. What are you doing to keep it sleeping?

I flashed custom kernel, and use badass governer. Now I find my second core sleeping most of the time, and used only when higher processing power is needed.
Just now checked CPU times in System Tuner, and I realize either of the CPUs is sleeping for 87% of the time, effectively meaning that for 87% of time only one core is being used.

Actually I figured it out! im using the ktoonez kernel and if you use the ktoonsevative (dunno if I speled that right) you chanf the governor settings, look for "max cpu lock" and change it to 1...it is only 1 core.

A CPU question

I want to over clock my phone and under clock it when I'm not using it to save battery life is there anyway to do this I've tried a few apps and they didn't do much
What is the lowest clock rate for the phone bc on the apps it puts it at 384
Thanks for the help

The lowest safe rate would be 384 but you would be a lot better off
to get the "JuiceDefender" app from the play store.
It has a lot of features including auto cpu frequency and you can set it up
so it automatically handles all options needed for the very best battery
savings modes without sacrificing performance...
My personal opinion which is not worth much is NOT to mess with
manually over clocking, under clocking or volting but instead use a
true and tried app like JuiceDefender to do all the work for you.
Check it out at the play store.
Thanks I'll try it out

Hey i got a question about CPU. Im running wicked rom with Deviant Kernel. My max and min freq keep changing. My kernel allows me to overclock to 1944 but i set it to 1620 and min at384. im using smartsassv2 and cfq but it keeps making my maximum 1350. no matter what i change the gov. to or the max. I reinstalled rom and and the kernel seperate. to see if it would make a differecne and same results. Please Please Please help me fix this
I'm not an expert but I think I can some what help you. Are you toggling the set on boot?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You need to install a custom kernel and possibly a custom ROM.
Then you can overclock/underclock to what your kernel supports.
I've seen kernels that allow min at 94 and max at 1944.
