For some reason, my CPU clock keeps getting stuck at 1.9GHz max. I was thinking it was something to do with Rom Toolbox Pro, and I've since uninstalled it. My keyboard kept freezing at the screen, so I download CPUz to check my speed, and it's still stuck at 1.9GHz, even with Rom Toolbox's data defaulted and the app uninstalled. This problem is persistent across different ROMs, using all their included kernels. I'm currently running Sky Dragon 8.1, unlocked and S-Off. Any suggestions?
My solution: reflash the ROM without wiping anything at all. It should solve the problem.
And don't mess around with CPU, GPU, sound related stuff manually unless you know what you're doing very explicitly xD or you will end up damaging any internal of the phone (without even bricking it, just an irreparable damage), which will lower your experience of the phone, while you won't even realize where the problem came from, and warranty won't work too.

I would try to manually set max cpu speed, if it doesn't work maybe htc has some overheat protection of you've enabled some power saving mode.

Wow, I was in auto pilot mode and totally forgot I turned Power Save mode on, lmao!

How to wake up the phone without battery removal? I have Virtuous 1.0.1 ROM with advanced kernel and from time to time I have wake up issue. I would like to avoid removing battery because I have otterbox case on my phone.
Do you know any other way to wake up yhe phone?
Well if you can't wake it up with the button on top it is a problem. Are you overclocked? Try lowering it.

Open the keyboard....lol

wake up
I have seen the same behaviour with the stock htc latest (1.82.whatever).
top switch -- othing
opening kbd -- noting.
only a removal of the battery seems to help.
Of course it hasn't happened in a convenient place e.g. to see if I can still access it or if charging works etc.
If u installed trackpad wakeup, it seems to distort virtuous roms and keep the device from waking up all together.....there are posts about it in the developers forum

Also in some cases this is caused by underclocking with a screen off profile. I actually gave up on virtuous untill that problem gets solved. I havnt tried the latest version though.

There are 2 distinct "screen on" issues with slightly similar symptoms.
One is the "screen wake issue" what is common with Virtuous, and typically caused by certain combinations of overclocking, and screen off profiles.
The screen wake issue is very well discussed in the Virtuous thread, and commonly/easily solved with the proper screen off settings.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967153
But the screen wake issue, as far as I have experienced, manifests with screen sometimes flickering on for a second, and sometimes responding to multiple presses of the power button, or by opening the keyboard. There is a different issue, some have called "SOD" (screen of death) where the phone seems completely dead until you pull the battery and reboot. This seems to be more what you are describing, but I'm not sure. The cause of the SOD has not conclusively been discovered, and there is currently no known surefire solution. But it may be hardware and GPS related, maybe kernel related. Personally, I've experienced this across several custom ROMs (Virtuous, CM7), kernels, as well as stock. The only luck I have had, is that the stock DZ ROM with the Godspeed kernel is the only combination which seems completely free of SODs. One person sent his phone into HTC due to SODs, and they said it was caused by a faulty GPRS module, and fixed it by replacing the mainboard. Another person send this phone in, and it was returned untouched, with the same problem still present.

Why people still do this just boggles my mind. All current kernels drop the processor down when the screen is off. There's no need - at all, for a screen off profile. It creates a wakeup issue as you can tell since SetCPU has to refresh the phones state then switch profiles in order to allow the processor to move into a higher state. That takes a lot of time (in computer time) thus creating this 'bug' that doesn't actually exist. The OC bug however does exist and is present no matter what you do aside from keeping it at 1.1GHz or less.

I had the screen wake issue on Virtuous, with NO screen off profile and OC'ed to 1 GHz. Making a screen off profile, but leaving a wide range for the CPU speed (not underclocking it) and interactive governor solved the issue in my case.
That might work better since most people I've seen tend to use the conservative or powersave gov. in their screen off profile. I'll correct myself too, what I said was from a CM standpoint since I've yet to use Virtuous.
Yeah, the screen wake issue on Virtuous is different from the one on CM7. If I remember properly, on Virtuous, using the advanced kernel results in screen wake issues for everyone or most people, unless you make some SetCPU/CPU Tuner setting adjustments.
Do you have SetCPU, or another program capable of CPU clock control installed? If not, install one of them and bring the max clock down... the Advanced Virtuous kernel boots at 245min/1516max - I noticed this after a fresh install of Virtuous 1.0.1/2 and the Advanced kernel

Completly agree.
I am shocked and appauled that most don't seem to understand that the os and it does not matter which(I.e. android,ios,windows) or platform (I.e. smartphone,tablet,desktop,etc) when you overclock more than just ur cpu speed is changed. If u have any experiance overclocking cpus on your home computer, you know u cannot let your system hibernate because it will not wake up. All operating systems allow the cpu to completly turn of in hibernation until it recieves an electrical pulse from the board. But if ur cpu goes from off to high it pulls way to much electricity and can't process then commands because all the recouces went to waking. If you have sleep parameters set with a narrower range the system will have enough resources left to process ur intial command...when it comes to sleep to wake there are no in between frequencies.

Hello,
I need a simple app to help with an overheat problem on my EVO.
Let me recap the problem simply, when the phone gets too warm it will shut down and vibrate five times and then blink the green LED. The phone then cannot be turned back on until the battery has cooled down.
I have found a half solution, if my phone is in Airplane mode then it will not shut down even when it is warm. So, to avoid shutdown, I need a simple widget. The widget should be 2x1. On the left side, a simple battery temp monitor. On the right side, an airplane icon to let me know if the phone is in airplane mode or not.
What I need the app to do is to automatically switch the phone to airplane mode if the the phone gets above a user designated temperature. The only exception to the automatic airplane mode should be if the phone is in a current call. Seems like the phone will let me finish a call before shutting down due to heat. Hopefully the app can throw the phone into airplane mode immediately when the call ends. But if that exception is too difficult, the primary functionality would still be worth it.
This is my first app request, so I don't know if I'm being specific enough. I also know that other people can use this app. Hopefully someone out there can help us all out.
Thanks
There is an app called tasker that should be able to do that for you. At least untill someone can build an app for you.

Not sure what your doing to over heat the phone, but I would try to fix the problem instead of usong a work around. It sounds like you have an inefficient kernel or its too far ovrrclocked. I'm thinking continual use in this overheated state will cause unrepairable damage to your phone.
Just looked at Tasker, from what I can tell it does not have Temperature as an event.
And the problem cause is not my kernel, from what I can tell. I've tried a few different kernels on a couple different mods. I've tried underclocking and under volting. Nothing seems to help. From what I've read, I might have a faulty sensor.
I had a hell of a time with cm7 and the jit compiler. Poor battery life and running warm even when browsing the web. Not sure what your running but it may be as easy as tapping a checkbox.

It's a hardware cpu sensor calibration issue, according to Sprint tech Lokifish Mars. Search for my thread in Evo General.
I avoid shutdowns by keeping battery temp < 39°C.
mine overheated when i was charging and using hotspot/tether, somehow after i wiped my sd card and everything else and installed the rom again it never overheated again.
somehow the more apps get installed the more the chanse some of them be are gonna be running in the backgroung, who knows...

Some phones overheat and shutdown regardless of installed apps, rom, or kernel. My Evo consistently shutsdown at 39°C, even when running bare aosp w/zero apps installed.
It's only an issue for me when playing games, using the phone in high ambient temps, and flashing mods. Keeping the battery & cpu cool with a fan or ac vent is the only way I can flash mods or roms.
Elixir is a free app on the market, you can make customizable widgets (1x1 up to 4x1), one for temp, the other to toggle airplane mode.
I use it to monitor temp, battery, cpu freq, and cpu %, and to keep an eye on ram.
Works well.
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.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
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...
Same problem here i think its a cm7 problem

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.
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

This just happened to me today. First time it happened was early in the afternoon when I was playing Mini Motor Racing and I turned off the screen for a while. When I turned it on and unlocked my phone, the game screen was black. When I pressed the home button, it froze on me, then it rebooted. Second time, it was the same situation. Then the third time, when I was downloading a game from via my browser, it froze and restarted on me and now, I tried to transfer an obb file from a game to my phone and when it was half way done, it restarts on me. Anyone know what's going on?

So could it be mini motor racing that's causing the reboots?
I forgot to mention that it makes a popping noise when it freezes and restarts
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
More than likely it is mini motor. I've had apps that froze my phone that required battery pull. Deleted the app and all was fine.
Sounds pretty typical of overheating, or overclocking/undervolting. Maybe try keeping a fan on it when doing anything intense. Or you might try a kernel that lets you raise the voltages a bit. Some phones are more stable that way.
I dont know about volting. How much should I overvolt? I'm using AOKP w/ Franco kernel. My max clock speed is 1305 (previously 1420) and my min clock speed is 920.

I'd try furst uninstalling the app just to see it after the pone runs properly or it keeps rebooting. The OC/UV issue is hard (at least for me) and have never given to me no good experiencies. I tried once to UV and had the same problems you're having, only solving theme by retoring setting to default.
If you're rooted, get the Trickster Mod app from the Play Store and disable Smart Reflex (all three switches) and see if the reboots stopped.
Cause apparently, that seems to be the case foe my phone (I use Faux's kernel v 21 with no smart reflex... the basic basic kernel)
sent from my mini tractor
question useless
Most kernel use Smartreflex, and if he had do this answer , i dont think it's going to undervolt under stable value for his phone
If you could provide more info about your phone specs its better, if you use OC kernel like Glados with 2 ghz, it's pretty normal, ever cpu is different
using CM10 nights can cause ( never ) bug like this, but if your phone freeze in infinite bootloop with metallic sound under is surely voltage value.
try to use your ROM's stock kernel , ( you might reflash without wipe anything your ROM and ( if needed ) GAPPS )
Well... if your post was directed to me, in that case, I'm using the non smart reflex version of the kernel. The stock kernel also uses smart reflex.
Strangely, I have to use the kernel without smart reflex... cause if I get another kernel which has the provision for smart reflex, and manually turn it off, it doesn't seem to help (or stick).
Of course, if your list wasn't targeted to me, then feel free to ignore this post
