I have been using setCPU for a while and have noticed that the speed never sticks. I try to limit it to 1200 and the minimum to 102, but it changes it automatically to 1500 and 51 mhz. How do I get it to stick?

You will need a custom kernel for this...
The Stock one just isn't gonna let you do that.

Are profiles necessary to preserve battery life? If sohow should my profiles be set?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I get much better battery life without using any profiles... screen off profiles make the phone lag. I'm squeezing a good 18 hours out of my phone, and I am a HEAVY texter. No profiles - ondemand governor - stock clock settings at 806MHz
Running 1.5 ghz
im running 1.5ghz
I've found battery to be better without profiles. Just make sure you have setcpu set to on demand. I'm running CM 6.1.1, 1209/346 on demand for set cpu. I'm getting about 18 hours with moderate to heavy use of music and data.
Would agree that screen off profiles aren't that great (and really aren't that necessary). I've had issues with answering calls or the phone being laggy when the phone wakes.

It's kind of controversial. Depends on the governor, scheduler, etc. You either trust the system to be smart enough to wind itself down with the screen off, or you don't.
I think you'll find that even when you overclock, your CPU shouldn't spend THAT much time at the higher frequencies...
I'm running 1.5mhz and use a screen off profile on 386mhz.
Get much better battery out of it when using this!!!
Without the profile, i have 9 hours of batterylife. Now i'm having around 14 hours...
Just try it and see what's best for you

What gov. are you using? I know some need profiles but ones like the interactive governor don't and actually perform worse with profiles. I'd always set a temp profile though - you don't want to go iPhone on something and set it on fire.
Im running the CyanogenMod 6.1.1 ROM with Pershoot 1.516GHZ kernel on my G2. I have my setcpu profiles setup as below (recommended by another G2 user from another forum):
screen off-
Max: 368
min: 245
priority: 100
Temp>39.7c
max: 768
min: 245
priority: 88
Battery<10%
max: 245
min: 245
priority: 70
Battery <15%
max: 368
min: 245
priority: 66
Battery< 25%
max: 768
Min: 245
priority: 60
charging/full
max: 1516
min: 245
priority: 50
charging ac/full
max: 1516
min: 245
priority: 50
charging usb/full
max: 1516
min: 245
priority: 50
Anyone notice any possible issues with these profiles?

I'm on cm6.1.1 now...
sent from my htc desire z using tapatalk.
cm7 said its default cpu speed is set at 1000mhz.. but when i use quadrant standrad/ quick system info to check my cpu range, it shows that my cpu is at 800MHz.. I have checked my settings both in the cyanogen settings and the boot menu.. i am choose 1000MHz .. but the cpu is still stick at 800MHz.. How can i turn it to 1000MHz, may i use setvsel ??
anyone help??
during bootup, press volume down key when you see the LED in "Blue". You can find a Overclock menu, adjust accordingly.
I notice Milestone OC, n SetVSel doesn't save settings on CM7-Defy
i have try that.. but the setting in bootmenu did not really apply ...
no matter i press set default or save..
Hi,
I'm using cm7-110615-1323-BOOT177-Jordan.zip and everything works as it should.
I'm using the widget called "Temp+CPU V2" from the Market and it showes clocks between 300 and 1000 MHz. CPU-load, Temp and used RAM also works fine.
Make sure you don't have your middle frequency set to 800. For some reason that was causing me similar problems, but all has been good since I changed the middle freq to 790...

It doesnt work..my cpu and battery vsel setting still at the stock value.. which is 33/300,48/600,58,800
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
When I look at system settings it shows the following
Current (300-1000)
Min (300)
Max (800)
Min is 300, Max is 800. However current has been 300 - 1000. So this measures the current setting and it can be higher than the 'max'.
Try another tool to measure your cpu freq, setvesl has a decent one.

Hi guys
I run Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC0 at stock frequency (1ghz), but would like to go higher (~1.2 ghz). What are your settings, and do you have any recommendations to other settings than core frequency?
thansk in advance
Mine is 300 MHz at 20 Vsel, 600 MHz at 32 Vsel, 1200 MHz at 60 Vsel, but when I play games it seems to be unstable, so when I need more power productivity I put it to 80 Vsel.

1ghz is not stock . 800 is
Well.. 1 Ghz IS stock for cyanogen 7.1 rc0... Anyways, I cranked it up to 1.2 with vsel 62. does anyone have better settings?
Hi. I have a rooted HTC One X international version with the quad core processor supposedly. 1.5ghz but when i checked quick system info it says my cpu clock is only running at 1.4ghz. I have set cpu installed and i have ensured that ive set the min and max to 1.5ghz but still it remains at 1.4ghz. I dont know if it was like this before i rooted my device or before i installed setcpu, or if this is just the way its supposed to be. Please advice.
If ever this is unusual, could someone tell me how to fix it? Should i reflash the kernel or bootloader?
Thanks in advance for ur help.

i tried it and the cpu range shows as 51 to 1500 no probs.
try cpu spy, then run a bench mark service, then go back to cpu spy and check if it reached 1500ghz
Oh, sorry if I got misunderstood. Setting the range is NOT the problem. I can set it just fine, and the profiles work well too. It's just that if I set the min and max to 1500mhz, the ACTUAL cpu clock (the large number on top of the min and max sliders) remains at 1400. When I lower/change the min max, the frequency lowers/changes accordingly. But, as I mentioned, the max ACTUAL cpu frequency remains at 1400mhz even though the sliders are already set to 1500mhz.
So, I want to know if that's normal. I read from somewhere that the maximum frequency for multi-core is 1400mhz and the maximum frequency for single core is 1500mhz. But I'm not sure though so I want to verify that information.
Thanks!
Well, I am rooted and on cyanogenmod 10.1..
If I understand corrrctly, you can underclock the device with just an app?
If so, what app can I use (considering its DHD rooted with CyanogenMod 10.1)?

Ace OC tool!

Also try antutu cpu master.

I think the reason I like the Andrev OC Daemon is because you can automate it to use a lower CPU setting when in deep sleep.
For example, when the screen is on, you can set the max CPU to 1.2 MHz, and set it to reduce this to 256 KHz when you lock your phone.
So easy to use, and the battery lasts an incredible duration longer. I've had 0% decrease in battery for the past 2 hours with the phone on, but on standby.
Highly recommended.

Sorry if i misunderstood, but there are performance settings in Settings menu of CM 10.1.So i have set max CPU frequency to 806 MHz and min to 149 MHz and marked "set on boot". Isn't it underclocking ? Off course you can't undervolt the CPU, but he asks just to underclock.

Yes, that would be underclocking, which has shown results in battery improvements. Essentially, you are trading speed for battery life and its all about getting the balance right.
Obviously, when the screen is turned off, and the phone is inactive, you do not need the CPU to hit heights of 806 MHz, which is where Andrev OC Daemon comes in..
You can set it so that the phone uses up to 806 MHz when active, yet not exceed 149 MHz when the screen is inactive.
I have seen VAST improvements in my battery life using this OC/UC tool.
And I really can't over-exaggerate the 'vast' in that sentence..
