Hello XDA community,
New member here! I received an update notification this morning. My phone automatically updated about an hour ago. I noticed that when idle, all four cores of the 805 SOC are active; all are clocked at 300MHz. Before the update, it used to use only two cores at 300MHz. Because of this, the phone feels a little warmer than usual. Did anyone else update his/ her phone? Does anyone else notice this too?

I'm sorry if this is some kind of n00b question.
I installed CPU Spy and today I took a look at the stats. I discovered that in my everyday use the CPU hardly exceeds the 350 MHz. I used SetCPU in the past at the "Interactive" profile but removed it. I'm completely on Stock, just an unlocked bootloader and I rooted the phone.
Are these stats normal or am I missing a serious performance in my phone? And if the latter is the case: How can I solve it?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
Looks like you have more powerful phone then you actually need

Need more info about usage. What was your screen on time, etc... Screen off the majority of your time will be deep sleep with some 350 mixed in for wakelocks.
You spent ~2 hours 20 min ABOVE 350. I use CpuSPY to measure deep sleep, and Better Battery Stats for everything else.
Screen on time is about 1,5 to 2 hrs a day. I do play some games, surf a little, phone and text and listen to some music. The normal stuff. Anyways, since no one jumped up and started that this is not normal I take it I'm just not a heavy user

Yeah, I'd say not a heavy user. Your phone is spending time at all states however, so based on that you're fine. I haven't spent a ton of time on this phone analyzing time in various states outside of deep sleep, but I'd imagine a lot can be done at 350 vs the 200 I was used to seeing on my gs2.

It is normal.
I just got flashed the stock root KitKat and I have noticed that my CPU isn't going past 1126 MHz when it is capable of twice that. In ROM Toolbox and Set CPU it clearly shows it can go to 2200 but it jumps back down to 1126. Is this just me or are others having this issue too?

It's not an "issue". If your phone spent 100% of it's time (idle/active) at 2.2GHZ, it would be dead in mere hours. SetCPU has a section where it shows you how long your phone's CPU stays in what state (speed). When nothing's happening (screen off/stand by, etc) the CPU stays at lower speeds, and ramps up higher if more demanding stuff is happening (gaming, etc).
I understand that the problem is that my CPU won't reach its max speed and the sliders just revert and when I use a program like antutu to see my specs it says my CPU is only capable of 1.2 or 1.5 GHz. When I run a benchmark the CPU never surpasses those speeds to reach 100%. It is desirable to reach 100% in a benchmark but for some reason that doesn't even happen any more after KitKat.

With kitkat update i noticed a slightly lower performance than with jelly bean 4.2

In my situation, the reverse is the case. I'm running stock rooted 4.4 ZVC and it's like night and day compared to when I was on 4.2. So much more snappier and much better battery life too.

I forgot to mention... i was comparing my phone which is on optimusde2 rom (4.2) with my wife's phone on stock 4.4 and mine is smoother, faster
For anyone using a Kernel tuner that can register big/little activity.... does ANYONE see the big ever being ramped at all? mine shows deep sleep for about 99% of the time I use my phone and its kinda pissing me off because the phone does lag at times, and if the big cpu were to ramp up, I'd assume the lag would be gone. whats also weird is my current uptime is 26 hours, and while my "little" set shows that as the uptime, my big only shows 7 hours.
T-Mo, stock, rooted...
I've been wondering this for a while. Lots of lag issues and missed taps (for me) seem as if processor scheduling isn't being handled efficiently.

FWIW it hasnt mattered what gov I've used... ondemand, interactive (which was the stock setting) both of these, no big core being used at all
chrisokaly, what are you using to monitor this? I'm using CPU Spy 0.4.0, and it has never made a reference to 1.8GHz. The highest it ever shows is 1440MHz.
But using CPU-Z (which only shows live data, while you're looking at it, not history), that does at least acknowledge the 1.82GHz cores. I'm not sure if I've seen them hit 1.8, but I don't look at CPU-Z often.
Mine is Verizon, VS986, not rooted.
and now that I'm playing with this a bit more... the "frequency table" in Kernel adiutor for the big core seems to reset itself every time the screen goes off...

Kernel adiutor
ye i opened similar thread about this, big cores rarely used if any, i think the Kernel have some issues that needed to be fixed, we need to make sure LG aware of that.
Wrong thread, sorry

I use Kernel adiuter and have the big cpu's set in interactive and the small ones set on on demand. The big cores ramp up when needed and I rarely experience any lag.
Like many people here and a few reviews have pointed out the nexus 5X seems to get overwhelmed by some day to day task and multitasking. So today as my phone was struggling to load a web page in chrome and stream some Sirius xm over Bluetooth I decided to try and see how heavy the load on the CPU. I fired up cpu z and according to the app it was under a heavy load and the 4 A53 cores were maxed out at 1.44ghz and the 2 A57 cores were stopped! So I rebooted figuring it must have been a bug and nope the A57 cores where still stopped. Anyone else noticing this or is it just my device?
Not seeing that behavior, although it's possible cpu-z needs an update or is buggy; after launching the camera to generate some load, it showed all 6 cores as being [email protected] until I restarted it.

the snapdragon 808 uses the bigLittle architecture.
That means there are 4 low powered cpus, and 2 high powered cpus.
Most of the time, only the 4 low powered cpus are in use.
When the phone needs more performance/power, the 2 other high powered cpus kick in.
So what you are seeing is normal. Most of the time, the phone is only using the 4 little cpus.

I don't think cpu-z should show all six cores as A53s though, only the little 4. That's the part I think might be a bug.

trickster mod works, I see the 2 big cpus kick in all the time, but it requires root.
So after trying a bunch of different things out looks like running a benchmark will someone's get all the course up and running but not all the time the first screen shot is with 4 cores and the 2nd is with all 6 both seem pretty low to me
Sorry for my poor english. But something i really want to ask. Help me please.
I've got some problem on my z5 premium dual(6883). I'm not sure if it is problem of my phone or all e6883. Please can anyone help me or tell me?
z5 premium/z5 premium dual are using s810 with 4-a53 cores and 4-a57 cores. But my phone is always using the 4-a53 cores but seldom use a57 cores. Even use a57 cores, just use only maximum at 2. It is so weird. And even the 4-a53 cores are all fully used (usage: 100%), it won't switch to use or active a-57 cores.
So, my question is, can anyone tell me this is my e6883's problem or all e6883's problem?
the second processors usually get ignited ONLY if resources are LOW on the first chipset. running two simultaneously will drain battery!
don't worry! enjoy the device

Thx for answering me.
But i have still got a question. Just now i'm trying to open snapchat to reply my friends and i figured out my a-53 cores are fully loading about half minutes but the a-57 cores are still sleeping Is it just my e6883's problem? or something else?
I've captured my screen. Please have a look.
(left hand corner is the cpu temperature)
