I have looked around and completed a few searches but cannot find any direct answers to this.
I have CPU Spy installed and have been checking it off and on since I got the phone. I have noticed that my phone does not run at any speed other than the absolute max. The phone does go into Deep Sleep without issue, but the only CPU speed it uses is 1728. I have tried a few ROMS without any change.
Currently running Juggernaut 5.0 with Darky's Kernal.
I have tried different Governers. I have tried Antutu's CPU Master, SetCPU and No-Frills. I just cannot get this phone to run anything other than MAX speed. Since I am constantly having things run in the background like music, this is effecting my battery life.
Anyone have any input, ideas or suggestions? Other than running stock.
Turn down your minimum CPU settings in set CPU and check set on boot?

You've done just about everything possible. Only option left it to Odin back to stock, root it and check cpu Spy to see if it is acting normal. If it is back to normal flash back to your favorite distro!
Perhaps something got messed up along the way of flashing all those roms? Shouldn't, but you never know.

I was really hoping it would not come to this :'(
*update....
I re-flashed Darky's Kernal and removed all OC apps and now I am showing full utilization of the different seed steps.
Quite glad it did not result in me having to start over again.
My One X (international version) face overheating which leads to restart
here is the common situation, I use my phone for watching videos, playing a game or web browsing, then I put the phone into my poket, after 10 minutes or so, I feel the vibration and finding that the mobile is restarting and it is hot in the back upper area (around camera lens)
that was happening due to some heavy gaming, but now even for the smallest tasks (viewing some pics for half hour), and in my pocket the restart, which could happen twice a day or so
I was using a leather cover and afterward did not use it, thinking it might keep the mobile from releasing its temperature
is that ordinary? I like HTC since My desire but now I think of selling it, lose some money and Buy SIII (I'm not big fan of Samsung though)
I'm on the stock OS not rooted
any thoughts?
Are you using a custom ROM ? You can also try downloading CPU Spy and see how your CPU behaves.

no I'm not even rooted the phone yet
Have you try to update the root with the last official RUU ?
Maybe It could help you. Versions 2.xx are better for this.
An other thing. It can come from a software running in background.
You can try to hardreset your phone and reinstall software one by one, with time between two installations to find wath app causing the problem. To see if your cpu work in background, install cool CPU or something else. You will see if the CPUs are busy while your on the home.
If you don t want to hard reset, you can try to uninstall all software, but I think it s less good.
Before uninstalling, try to find the application causing overheating with task manager.
Hope it s can help. Don t hesitate to thanks me
Stupid question but are you running at full brightness all the time (this heats up the phone).
Get hold of 'better battery stats' and check if any app is eating the battery

My phone is freezing like all the other threads on here but mine only does it during gameplay I've tried different roms but all were the same, right now my current setup has the least freezes but it still freezes a lot. I've done everything correctly when flashing, wiped everything completely and I also tried everything that other people on this forum has suggested. I've tried Lagfix trim app, Dummy file generator, seeder, kernal tweaks, turning off sync, adjusting wifi settings. Nothing has worked! I've even let my phone sit there for about 3 hours to let it unfreeze itself to see if that would help, but it didn't help. My freezes are different, when it freezes I can go back into the home screen within seconds and when I get back into the game, everything is fine but it will freeze again after 30 seconds. Other than that, my phone runs insanely smooth and fast.
Does anyone know what is wrong with my phone? and how to fix this problem? or any other possible solutions?
P.S: I know it's not a memory problem either, I have a bit over 11gb of free space on internal memory and 4gb on SD.

Check your kernel settings. Could be a voltage or governor issue. If that doesn't work, flash the kernel again or try another one. Are you running a nightly or stable release of Cm? Also, do a nand and flash a stock rom and see if you have the same issue.

Yes it's a stable release of cm, also I tried flashing it again but no luck. The governor is on ondemand setting. I've also tried a lot of other new things and it worked a bit better but still freezes. Anyone else with suggestions?
Also, I don't know how to mess with the voltage.. Lol it just looks like numbers to me..

First of all, Hi everyone - chefs, users and admins!
I am writing this post with a really heavy heart now, almost bleeding experience happened to me from nowhere about 2 months ago. I feel quite an advanced "flashoholic", however I've broke up with that few years ago. In 2013 I sold my Note 2 and started "new life" with Android, bought a DSLR and engaged into photography. This year, in february I have bought a tablet as I needed really something for business purposes, and I have chosen a Tab S 10.5 LTE. I didn't ever hear about any Knox tripping or anything, and as soon as it arrived I flashed a AOSP ROM to my thingie as I love AOSP overall. Than strange things started to happen with my CPU. As I recall I have noticed it first after installing Xposed to the tablet - it started heating pretty badly. When I checked my CPU states through ROM Toolbox etc I noticed it sometimes freezes at frequencies around 1.7-1.9 GHz, and during this behavior max frequencies could even fluctuate from 1.7 to 1.8, 1.9 and so on. It looks like "something" changes max frequency setting of CPU as it wants, whenever it wants to and pushes usage to the maximum.
Now, I started to look for a fix - uninstalled Xposed, every root apps etc. Nothing stopped it. I was "pretty sure" the cause is in AOSP thing and the conflict between my hardware and custom AOSP Roms. So after 2 months of tryouts to solve the problem, I today reflashed TW to "finally" get rid if this and save my battery life. What shocked me was... the bug is still here! Even with 0 apps installed, all ROM stock and clean, my CPU goes crazy, the back is hot, and CPU monitoring apps show a hard usage of 1.9 and 1.8 GHz frequencies. At this point I started to panic.
To mention - before I posted this here, tried to search over xda, googling it and so on, but it seems noone has such problem anywhere! As long as I know I can't get my warranty back, and I feel really panic and don't know what to do. I am asking experienced devs or anyone who faced it before for some help, on my knees. This tablet is great, but pretty useless when my battery hits 20% after 4 hours!
EDIT
I snapped a screenshot of some kernel options I don't understand, however someone maybe would find any wrong input here (as I can change them thanks to the app). Thanks. PS. I have changed max fr tp 550 in order to avoid heating and battery drainage, to this moment thayt's the only way I know to stop it.
Thank you very much for any help and advices, and sorry for my bad english.

Try installing Watchdog, and in the setting include phone and all other process monitoring, see if it can locate what is taxing your cpu.

Hi John, it looks like that option doesn't work. I see that none of apps exceeds CPU usage over 10%, but the clock still goes on 1.7GHz etc. Sometimes it cools down, but it happens rarely.
Did you adjust the setting to monitor all phone processes, even if you have an wifi only tablet still do this.
John.

Sure, but the app doesn't seem to have any options button anywhere, just 3 tabs... sorry. However I can see it is monitoring all system apps also, if it helps.
it`s been a while, i will install it on my T800

Hold the button left of the home button down to get the settings, the left touchkey button hold it down to get settings.
John.
Thanks but umm.. nothing happens. Tried holding down task switch capacitive button for few seconds on every tab, but it just goes to task switch view.
Strange, I just hold the button down and within 2 seconds the strip along the bottom of the display appears, maybe you are in the wrong mode, there are three section on the top of the screen, you need to select the far left one called STATS.

VERY strange. I did it on all 3 tabs, just nothing happens. Is it possible that app changes maximum frequency of my CPU? I don't believe any app has possibility to do it on it's own...
Have you tried it again with watchdog on the same screen in my screenshot then press the button, watchdog does not change cpu frequency.
John.
I used to have the same problem on AOSP roms and some Touchwiz roms! When you first flash it and set things up, CPU usage is fine. But after a few days maybe hours, CPU would do the same exact thing like yours! Then my device gets hot and drains battery.
I found this to be a problem with AOSP 5.1.1 roms. Resurrection remix, CM12, PAC ROM and yeah. Never had problems on Cm11. The only ROM that solved my heating issues and no cpu problems are AOSP roms on 5.0.2 or Liquid Smooth rom. 5.0.2 was bug free. Liquid Smooth ROM has an custom kernel which helps cool down the device and reduce the high CPU usage. Seems to be the only ROM without issues for me on 5.1.1. For Touchwiz roms, I just install skyhigh kernel and turn on hotplugging and CPU multicore power saving to solve heat issues. But really on Touchwiz roms, CPU is fine most of the time for me.
My device is SM-T800 BTW. This is what I found out from flashing many roms.

Unlocked s-off US model on verizon running viper now, but I've tried all of the other roms and done a whole bunch of RUU flashes back to the original verizon rom.
Now everything seems slower - especially restoring TB backups and app optimization (initial and after clearing cache). Seems to be taking at least twice as long as in the past if not 3-4x longer. Just re-flashed RUU thinking it would fix things but again it's taking forever to optimize apps after a brand new install. Have wiped everything countless times. Also slight stuttering when installing apps from the play store and doing something else. Wasn't like this initially. Is it possible that read speeds were altered somehow? I haven't played with the kernel so far so I'm completely out of ideas.
Check the ram consumption and how hard the cpu is working when your using the phone; was your phone ever running hot on a particular rom? It's possible you may have damaged your cpu, download Cpuz and see how each core of the cpu is working and also do a benchmark and Compare it to other people with the same phone.
