It's it normal for this phone to run 2 cores even if we have 4. I use android Tuner and the cores will switch off. With the governor set to performance still 2 cores?

The phone saves battery. When you don't need all 4 cores to process you use only 2.
For normal usage 2 cores should be more than enough..

Try running Antutu or something that will stress your CPU,then all 4 cores should kick in. If not then you've got problem. The process of turning of cores when they're not needed is called "hotplugging".

Is anyone using SetCPU with the new Froyo? I just downloaded it from Marketplace and have a question. It disabled the perflock and I lowered the mhz to 806. If my intent is to get a longer battery life did I do the right thing? It was running at 998 so I'm thinking that my lowering it I'll slow down the processor and in turn give myself a bit more life in the battery. Is that right? Thanks in advance.

Disabling perflock shouldn't scale it down. Did you set it to automatically detect setting when you first started the app? If not, you should. (Might have to re-install)
Yeah it auto detected a min of 245 and max of 998. I couldn't change the max whether setting to user, ondemand or performance without disabling the perflock. Once I disabled that I was able to scale the max level down.

setcpu was causing too many crashes for me on Froyo leaked 8-01-10.
I uninstalled it for a refund.. even when it did work for me.. I didn't notice any major battery savings.
ive noticed slight battery savings with setcpu. biggest thing ive noticed is the charge time. with a set profile to run the cpu @ 245 when screen is off the phone will charge the battery to 100% from dead in just about an hour and half. and the standby time increases running that profile as well.
Hi All,
After being a long time iPhone user i recently purchased htc one x, as a result my android skills are almost non-existent; so please bear with me.
I managed to flash clockworkmod recovery and rooted with SuperSU with no issues.
Purchased setCPU after reading the reviews and enabled. However the phone would reboot randomly a few times a day. Ususally when the screen was off.
After disabling setCPU there was no rebooting issue.
Has anyone got this app to work on the OneX, and if so which settings did you use?
Also has it been confirmed to work with all 4 cores?
FYI I had the following profiles setup.
Screen Off
Freq:640Mhz-51Mhz
Gov: conservative
Temp > 44.5
Freq:880Mhz-51Mhz
Gov: conservative
Battery < 30%
Freq:1000Mhz-51Mhz
Gov: powersave
Charging Any
Freq:1500Mhz-51Mhz
Gov: ondemand
Please note these profiles are based on no evidence, just on what I estimated to be about right...
Cheers
I did not start using SetCPU on my phone yet because it's not rooted, but first I would check if SetCPU doesn't require some kernel support? and if that's implemented in the custom ROM you're using? (if it's needed, I'm not sure).
Or maybe SetCPU needs an update to properly support our phones?
That Temp > 44.5 Profile, wouldn't that interfere with gaming? I have never used Temp profiles before (is it really needed?), only the other ones, like battery and screen-off and charging.
my one x has unlocked bootloader, recovery and root. I was running into some serious intermittent lagging issues, the phone in any app would just stall for 5+ seconds. after hours restoring after failure , it came down to the problem that using ANY cpu controll app, messed my phone up... BADLY! it seems at the moment (im assuming) apps like setcpu and cpu master are not quad core ready...
thanks for the responses guys.
I guess ill just wait until one of the devs can confirm this as working...
The reason is simple. We don't have rooted kernels yet. Until then stay away from messing with CPU speeds or under volting. Etc.

DO NOT mess with your CPU speeds yet. Undervoltage is causing reboots!
the software is not up to the hardware capability, i dont think the cpu control apps can handle quad core yet. and there is a lot of apps (esp. games) that lag a lot, and amazingly the cores are too lazy to work... im hoping for a better kernel that will address this issues.
If you want to at least see what's going on with the cores, I can confirm that Tablet CPU Usage Monitor works on HTC One X
It shows 2 icons in notification bar, each icon showing usage of 2 cores. Not sure how accurate it is, but so far had no problems with it and it seems to be reporting correctly. Developer is working on single icon with all 4cores in it, to save space.
I had the same problem, but if you delete your profiles you won't get reboots.
I'm just running default profile Max: 1500, Min: 760 Ondemand gov. and it has been a straight line for 6 hours when I was sleeping and no reboots.

I was having that problem too... In my opinion, I don't think that the phone can handle the Conservative governor setting. I set my governor to Interactive (On Demand works too)
Right now, I have my profile set to 1000mhz max and 475mhz min, with screen off profiles set to 475mhz max and min. I have not had any problems with the phone rebooting at all since setting those freqs. (And I don't want to quite go any lower yet). And I have it Set on Boot.
im now using rooted HTC One X(HOX) and installed RD-MIUI ROM quite sometimes. my kernel is still in stock. Im using setcpu and NO random reboot happen like what you have said. Yet, i am still confuse whether setcpu is good for my phone. based on my review, in the leading rom developer thread they not mention setcpu for their choice. they play alot with kernels to govern their hox cpu-s. could anyone do some comment.
Just checked, there is only activity on 3 cores. Core 0 1 and 3. Core 3 is not activating at all and there is no graph at all for Core 2. Is that normal?

Maybe system monitor has some bugs?
Maybe u turned power saving mode on?

Did you restart your phone at least 3 times?
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
What? Restart the phone 3 times? Why do that? And no, no power saving on!
I notice that sometimes, one or more CPU goes "offline", i guess it's a power super saving feature of the phone and not a bug. I check with system tuner, cpu 1 and 2 are "offline", i start a game, check again, and all cpu are online.
My CPU Speed automatically goes down to 810Mhz on all overclocked kernels.
Even in CM10 kernels,
It happens in between while I play a game or so.
Even if I install Kernel with only GPU overclock, it still happens.
But never happens on stock kernels. I have to manually increase the CPU speed by setCPU.
Any Solutions for it Guys?
Moved to Q&A
Try to use Kernel tuner, and normally the device uses 810 mhz too cool down...

Used kernel tuner but still the same result, it goes to 810mhz even if the phone is not hot (just homescreen) and when i increase it, it remains at max even if i play games and make it hot. but after some time (say 15 or 20 minutes) even if I am in standby mode the cpu goes down to 810Mhz. previously at some point it was 1134Mhz.
Guys, anyone with some help. It has even started to occur in Complete stock ROM. (flashed the ftf on locked bootloader, still the max cpu spped drops from 1.5 Ghz to 810 Mhz, some times both cores)

I had the same problem but i discoverd that the Battery saver pro causes that problem for me. If you use the seme app untick control CPU frequency.
It is actually a built in security feature of our phones which gets activated when temperature of phone goes high . At least that's what I know .

Send from my stupid lt26i
Is it a known issue that HTC One m9 phones are underclocked to prevent thermal problems? Because when I open up cpuz to see what frequency the cores are running at, the highest core 0-3 go to is 1.5 gigahertz. Core 4-7 never go higher than 700ish megahertz and only 2 of them are ever running at the same time. I have a custom rom installed that enables Vulcan support, but even before flashing the rom, cpuz was showing the same results mentioned above. Power saver is turned off, there are no programs that are changing the core frequency in any way, and high performance mode is turned on in developer options in settings.
Any suggestions on how to possibly unlock core 4-7 frequencies to go all the way to the advertised 2 gigahertz? Or did I just turn on a setting that somehow affects possessor max speed?
Yo boy i have a answear for you in kernel auditor go to cores and make sure you disable core 8, core 6 and core 3 and maybe set the governor to deadline and irq blance to 0
NOW you have to go to vendor folder in system or root folder / . and delete thermal.conf or so at 10 you need to go system root /vendor and delte the file reboot and now you have unlocked full performance
