I'm running jmz stock rom, no problems, but recently I've seen that my Cpu voltage has been kept at 1.4 (full over clock) and it won't come down unless in deep sleep. I've tried Cpu control apps, they don't seem to work. Not sure what the problem is.

did you change the cpu governor to performace?
govenor is set to smartassV2. ive tried changing it to all of them, when the screen is on and the phone is not in deep sleep, it is running at full speed for some reason.
that used to happened to my inspire 4G
i had to reset it . that usually fix it .

i wiped, reflashed, whatever there is i can do and it STILL is running on max cpu frequency. it makes the phone very hot, and uses quite alot of battery throughout the day. better battery stats just says that system is using the most, and that 1.4ghz has been running 100 percent of the time (unless screen off ((deep sleep)) )

if i remember correctly , it was an up doing it to my phone ,
you said you wipe and reflashed , did you installed the same apps .
honestly i dont see why using battery stats.
problem still persists, not sure why though. seems when i restart it sometimes it will do it, and other times it wont. Usually waiting for the phone to cool down, then restarting it fixes the problem. Not sure why.
Flash jmz linaro kernel and use any app to lower the cpu freq. That's how I have been using mine since v1. No heating or draining issues so far. I use smartassv2 as governor.

So I'm on a visionary temp root, overclocked with setcpu. Ive set up several different profiles but I've noticed that my battery life with the profiles isnt as good as other users have claimed.
I have noticed that when i open setcpu sometimes a little message will flash up saying that setcpu has been given superuser permissions. Does this mean that prior to opening the program, it didnt have permissions? If it in fact did not have superuser permissions, could that be why my battery life is less than expected? (i.e. The program didnt have permissions and thus couldnt use the profiles to slow down cpu speed upon screen off, etc.) The message does not come up every time I open setcpu, but it seems to come up when I havent opened the app recently.
Any ideas?

From my understanding, you only set it once. i had set a widget because i thought set cpu had to be running. But i deleted it because if you think about it....superuser app already has the permissions set, and when you open setcpu it shows the current speed.....if it wasnt working it would show 800mhz then KICK into 1 ghz?....thats what i think. You shouldnt need to worry.
Great, thanks for the response.

same here. from time to time this popup comes.
anyway i cannot see any benefit from running setcpu as the profiles are not working for me.
i tried setting up screen off profile. this never triggers.
i leave setcpu deinstalled now. battery life is good so far

Good question. Can't find anything in logcat.
set notifications.
on the magic you could see him switching profiles right after turning on the screen
you wont see it on the g2
I agree, something is fishy with this. EVERY time I open setcpu it gives me the su permissions granted window like its not being saved in memory
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
EDIT: After shopping around on the market I came across an app called "CPU Tuner". The UI is nice and has roughly the same customization as setcpu if not more. It does take a bit of getting used too but i'm more than willing since the profile notification actually cycles with this app vs. setcpu. I'll give it a shakedown tomorrow as it's getting too late here to test.
cpu tuner doesn't work for me.
in profiles, it just shows 700mhz to 800mhz, which makes it useless as i want to underclock to 200 when screen is off.
That toast pop-up is nothing to worry about, its just something that has featured in the last couple of SU builds, it doesn't mean your app is not working.
I just turn the notification off in the SU settings.
I can now confirm that the screen off profile is not working correctly. Before going to sleep last night, my phone had a charge of 99%. I did not have anything running (no wifi, bluetooth, sync, etc.) and I woke up to 81% battery. It never killed that much overnight before overclocking. We gotta get this fixed.

My phone has been on screen off for the pat 5 hours....and drained only 2% battery life.....i dont understand why it doesnt work with some peoples phones??!!. is it different cause im using a desire z and yours a g2?...i HARDLY doubt that would be a problem :S..

Running the setcpu widget on my phone caused instability issues at higher clocks (feeling ballzy w/ flippy's 1.8 kernel). After removing the widget my profiles were hit and miss for some reason.
As far as the battery issue goes, anyone running CM RC2 and earlier might want to check out nightly 36, apparently there was a memory leak causing battery drainage ( I don't know anything about what it means but common sense leads me to believe a leak is bad lol). If anyone is still not satisfied with setcpu I highly recommend CPU tuner.

Yes I have the widget on my homescreen. Weird that so many people get different results
Could the scaling be giving people varying results? I don't even really know what they do, I have mine set on ondemand. Would someone mind sharing what exactly the different scalings do?

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-guides/47871-overclocking-101-a.html
Centered around the OG Droid but basic concepts still stand.
- Just picked up an app called SuperPower, had it a while back and had issues..but it's been update a lot since then. Looks like it's an all purpose battery management app that has the ability to govern cpu speed also. I'll test drive it and see how it works.
My battery life has improved markedly since installing CM nightly #36 and Pershoot's latest kernel. I've been using my phone pretty heavily over the last 8hours and still have over 50% left. Lots of texts, emails and websurfing etc.
My phone is rooted and has s-off but I have a few issues. One is almost half the time when I hit the power button the screen doesn't turn on instantly but the soft buttons light up. It usually takes me hitting it 2-3 times swiftly to get my screen on. Another issue is sometimes wifi calling gets screwed up so it doesn't work and it drains my battery as a background task stuck on restarting. I really only want my phone overclocked so just have baconbits kernel. is there a newer version I should put on that fixes these issues?

Baconbits, to my knowledge, is the only OCd kernel available for the stock ROM. Your screen issue might actually be caused by underclocking though, do you have a screen off profile or a minimum set?

Give the overclock widget a try. Its available free on the market. In the advanced setting, set your screen off profile to 245 min and 806 max. Scroll down and hit "save" before you exit settings. That will keep your phone running at stock speeds while the screen is off and should stop the wake issue you're having. When you're using the phone you'll be at the higher speeds.
I already had the widget. Did what you said but it still occurs.

245 is *way* too low, especially if you have things running in the background ... just start raising the lower end up until it stops happening.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Setting it to stay at 800 while the screen is off seemed to fix it. Any ideas about wifi calling bugging out? It usually doesn't happen very often, I think when my phone has been on for a while without a restart.
overclock widget doesn't overclock anything.... it controls the speeds AFTER you've installed an overclock kernel. I highly suggest using flippys turbocharged 1.8ghz kernel. Just because it is capable of 1.8ghz doesn't mean that you need to run it at 1.8ghz. you can just do something like 1.1 or something in between. Give it a look.

Nobody said the OC widget overclocked anything. Did you read the OP's first post? It was suggested so as to enable a screen off profile because the OP is having a wake issue while using baconbits.

set the off screen profile to the lowest speed 200/200mhz and 100% priority and he wont have anymore wake issues, don't know what I was reading hahaha
The screen on issue doesn't happen anymore but I'm not satisfied with my battery life. In the past something was causing my battery to drain insanely fast so I un installed a bunch of unused apps and started checking background tasks but when browsing the internet for 20 minutes on my way home I use 30% of the battery, bluetooth on.

Anyone know if it is possible to run Pershoot's kernel on the stock rom that comes with the device? Any side effects?
I don't know enough to say 100% one way or the other, but I read in a post I can't find right now that only BaconBits is made to work with the stock rom.
FWIW, I tried to flash the 1.8 GHz kernal on my stock G2 this morning, and got stuck in a boot loop.
On AndroidCentral people are saying they have improved battery life with CM7 nightlies. I'd like to try running a ROM finally. Do I need to get rid of my Baconbits kernel before proceeding? I already backed up everything with Titanium.

NO. The first thing you need to do is flash clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, which is totally different than ROM Manager. As of right now the latest clockworkmod available through ROM Manager is 2.5.1.3. If you haven't flashed that yet (2.5.1.3) do that first through ROM Manager. The best way to flash 3.0.0.5 is to find the .img file, place it on your sd card and run the commands from terminal emulator. After that just wipe data/factory reset, wipe davlik cache and flash the latest nightly .zip, reboot, then the latest gapps .zip. Go to the development forum and the first post in the nightly vendor vision thread has all the links you'll need.
As the titles states, I use the SetCPU widget and find that it stops updating after a while (after which, I'll have to remove and re-add). Is there a fix for this?
That has been happening to me and I haven't found a fix. I just stopped using it. It's a shame too because I used it a lot for checking the temperature, making sure I wasn't running too hot.
Maybe you can try reflashing the kernel.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z/G2 using XDA App
did it on every rom even stock i have used. i stopped using setcpu, it caused more problems than good
confirmed here too, the widget stops working for me after it's been on charge for like an hour. The status bar/notification bar icon works though (but no temperature)
its the app and the widget itself, for the longest time i had this problem when i was using my n1 and running cm6 and not only that, when i had it set to a certain freq. i go back into the app and it would say its clocked at 800 max, but i had it set to 110, i would have to adjust the freq bar to set it back to that.. i email the dev bout it all he said it was not set on boot, which i replied thats no the issue on hand as the phone has been booted up for awhile, and i manually set my OC, i never got a reply back after, so i check set on boot, and after bout an hour.. i go to setcpu and same issue
my target is set at 110 but its saying its maxed at 800, this also set on performance to always be on that OC, i told the dev again. and still no response so i gave up on setcpu, and glad the Cyanogen made built in cpu govnor
Its the widgets, my data signal widget takes a crap and freezes too. Setcpu works fine even when the widget freezes

If running cm7 just use the built in settings. I used setcpu with off screen prifles being slower and others but it actually made my phone run like crap. Battery life has been generally the same without using setcpu so I killed it. If u are running cm7 I wouldn't bother with it.
Love the Overclocked "nonsense" CM7
My phone sometimes doesn't wake when I try and turn it back on after a while when the screen goes off.
I am running CM7 7.1.
I am using default oc settings. (ONDEMAND, 300-ish min, 1110-ish max, no undervolting as far as I know)
I tried to press the button combo to get fastboot but it doesn't work either. I have to take the batteries out for the phone to restart and then it works again.
What gives?

368 is the lowest you should go and, even then, you might run into wake issues. Additionally, if you have anything like SetCPU installed, be sure you don't have a screen off profile set with too low a speed.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
It seems to be mostly a cpu clocking issue. Raise your minimal clock for screen off profile if you have one and it should work.

I don't think that is the reason.
Back during CM6 6.0 RC1, I had set CPU with 256mhz off screen, and it was perfectly fine back then...

Are you using SetCPU?
If you are (and it's really not needed anymore) make sure your max on the screen off isn't set low as well. You can sometimes get away with a low min but, if you have a 256min/256max, you're basically telling your device to stay at 256 whenever the screen is off and no amount of pushing the power button to wake it will change that.

Not. I uninstalled SetCPU. Using the built in govenor now...
The problem you seem to be having is a bsod or black screen of death.
If you search that term in the forum you will find a few posts about it.
The only thing that i am aware of about the issue is that it is related to the use of your gps.
I have had trouble replicating the issue, it happens very randomly. I sent my phone to bell and they didn't fix it...

In my case it was a battery issue.
To be sure I tried the experience 3 times: OEM battery for a day, ebay one for an other.
At the end I had a black screen ( sleep of death) every time I turn off the screen on the ebay battery (galilio).
The voltage was alright, it was something else.
running virtuous unity 2.37
I've had problems with the screen-on and screen-off animations causing a black-screen-of-death.
Been noticing this since last week. Every time I use my phone for like 1 or 2 minutes, the phone starts getting hot. Usually, it gets hot after an hour of use (Facebook, Messaging, Browser, Twitter, Play Store). Went to Performance settings in Settings, then Processor, and notice the Current CPU frequency is always at 1000 MHz, then goes down to 200 or 100 MHz when idle for a few seconds. Switched between conservative and ondemand governor, no OC. Was on PA 2.54 when this happened, but I'm on CM10 Stable now, and it's still getting hot after using it for a few minutes.
This hasn't happened to me before. Not sure if this is normal, but I just want to make sure.
My recent heat and battery drain was coming from an app. I didn't check the CPU.
I checked the battery area of the settings and found a locale add-on that was draining more juice than my screen.

It will happen if your signal is real bad or 3G is down in your area.
I don't think it's my signal. I get 2 or 3 bars almost all of the time at home with the FC09 modem.
Besides opening and/or using an app, it seems that the CPU clock will go max speed if I do something, such as scrolling. Battery is also draining quickly before this was happening to me.

I think that's a Jellybean-specific CPU behavior (to keep system flowing like "silk", JB put CPU at max the instant you have your finger on screen... At least that's what I heard). Try ICS/GB ROMs and see if problem persists.

You likely have an issue with your settings.
If it's not an app, you probably have an issue with your performance settings.
Try turning off some of the eye-candy features in the settings. This will likely include the Cyanogenmod specific setting area as well.
That should at least help.

It didn't help unfortunately.
I flashed CM9 earlier and the issue still exists. I'm now back on CM10 (11/22 nightly).
It's okay if this can't be resolved. I am probably gonna go back to a GB ROM.
EDIT: Issue still persists in GB. I'm guessing it could be a hardware issue? I have no idea. Back to JB. I'm still willing to try anything to resolve this. Thanks to those who posted some solutions.
