Do you have any apps causing wake lock? You should check spare parts.

Spare parts?... ill do that...but just so u know I do disable the perflock on the the CPU master app...because that seems to make the speeds I choose stick ....after I apply ..does that make any sense?

Do you mean for like your governor? I'm slightly confused. Also, spare parts is an app, if it wasn't included in your rom, you can get it free in the market.

Well I thought so, but just making sure. Also, if you set the speed, and click set on boot, that should also hold it. And check for partial wake lock, and then since boot.

Well do click that, and you should be all set on that. Partial wake lock is when a program/app keeps your phone from "sleeping" when the phone is in screen off mode. For some people its the dialer after the call a call, aim sometimes give me partial wake lock. But if a program is giving you wake lock, it'll be shown by a by where the app name is.

Take out the battery. Put it back in and start your phone again. If the same happens repeat the battery pull but this time hold down on the volume bar and THEN press the power button to restart your phone. After it starts up in bootloader select recovery by moving the volume bar and then hit the power button again. This will bring you back to recovery where you can flash the rom again or restore your backup.

Thanks im restoring my backup now. I thought i had bricked my phone or something. i just rooted my phone so this was my first ROM that i was flashing so I wasn't sure of what to do.
I know this going to sound stupid, but can anybody point me to a guide or video on how to flash roms? Im new to all this so I dont want to mess anything up.

Note: Start @ 3:15. In the video clockwork mod is black/green but that's just because its an older version, the newer version is black/orange. All the steps are still the same though.

Also keep in mind that some roms can take up to 5 minutes to load the first time. Normally (but definetely NOT always) as long as it doesn't keep reloading the boot animation, everything is fine - the rom is building your file system on your first boot.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
if you took the time to read about kernels and what they are you would know.
but, i'm in a good mood today:
Kernels govern your cpu speed and how to scale it. Some are locked to a certain frequency set and some are made adjustable, but you have to get an app that interacts with the kernel otherwise it runs at whatever it is preset to.
SetCPU is the one I used, but I know there are plenty out there that others would recommend and swear by in a heartbeat.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I'm using Virtuous rom 1.02 with the advanced kernel. I clocked mine at 475-1100mhz with a low battery profile switch at 275-887 (i think).
Check your rom specific kernel to make sure it runs best for your rom. The rest is personal preference.

*sigh* Give a man a fish and he will eat all day. Teach a man to fish and he will drink beer all day.
Since you're on CyanogenMod, I recommend Pershoot's kernel (available through ROM Manager). If you're feeling bold, download Flippy's latest kernel. Since I'm running the CM-based PyroMod, Pershoot's kernel is built in.
Everytime i flash a rom do i need to flash clockwork mod recovery?

I suggest you check out the stickies sections that has links to a bunch of very well written guides that answer all your questions. the responses you get here are going to turn ugly very fast.

If you open clockwork and your current recover is the same as newest version then there is no need to reflash recovery. The only reason to reflash clockwork is if there is a newer version out.

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?

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.
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.

Hello, I have just got SetCPU 3.0.9. I set my voltages then clicked "apply" it then said unfortunately, SetCPU has stopped. I have tried many times and it will not work. Please help!
mind if i ask why you're using setCPU when you have ktoonsez kernel/KTweaker app installed? i make my freq and voltage adjustments there

I heard setCPU is the best.
i'm sorry i dont have any setCPU advise to offer other than possibly uninstalling/reinstalling it. i'll check into it though.
imo, the software included by the same dude that built the kernel is the logical choice for adjustments.
it has done everything i needed it to without any problems.
I have to agree with BeerDroid. If you're using KT's kernel, I would strongly recommend using Ktweaker to modify kernel settings (gov, scheduler, voltages, etc.)

You can have it to set on boot automatically, a timing of your choice, or not at all. It's in the main UI labeled "set options on boot."

Its best to apply after system boots up, than alter init.d scripts. This way, I'm case of any malfunction (as in too much undervolting), deleting the app using adb is sufficient.

I hate how you have to drag it.
It won't apply. I have a feeling that KT747 is causing the issue. Every system tweaker I tried would not apply.
Do you guys suggest re-installing KT747?

It may help. Also, be sure to make sure you don't have another kernel tweaking app trying to make changes as well. If you have multiple apps trying to run settings you could run into issues. What exactly do you mean when you say that they wont apply?

In SetCPU (don't have anymore) when I pressed apply on voltages, it stopped working. With KTweaker, I press apply then go back. If I go back in, the voltages are back to defaults.
Found several issues. Apparently, my phone was not rooted properly. When installing, it asked to root, I said yes. Now I also noticed the new splash screen. Hopefully it works.
