Cpu Stuck at 245mhz after Rooting Hero CDMA

I just rooted my HTC Hero (Sprint) Stock 2.1 and now I notice my Cpu is running slow. If I install SetCpu it speeds it up right away...Upon opening SetCpu I notice my Cpu speed says 245 mhz max/min. When I the refresh it it says 480/528 but after my screen turns off and back on it slows down again and returns back to 245 mhz. I never had this problem until after I rooted the phone. Why does my phone keep reverting back to 245 mhz and slowing down after I turn my screen off? Also it seems like my Battery life has gone down drastically...
edit: I intalled overclock widget and when I open it it also says 245 mhz. When I then set it up to 528 it makes my phone run fast again. As soon as I turn my screen off and back on it automatically reverts back to 245...

Your phone going to 245 is completely normal. It only gives your phone power when it needs it, and sitting on Setcpu screen isnt going to make it throttle up. You dont want your phone running at 528mhz at all times. It will KILL your battery. Our phones have a setting of "Ondemand", like gives the power on demand, if its not demanding a lot of power it will go back down saving battery life, CPU life and keeping temperatures down.
If you have problems with the phone running slow, i recommend checking out an overclocked kernel. You can run it at stock speeds, if you dont feel comfortable running OC. But if you want the extra power, the choice is always there.

Sounds like something to do with conserving battery by dropping the cpu speed.

Well on a stock rom setcpu cant do anything other then read the cpu and it will only update when it is force refresh. If you want setcpu to be able to control or change your cpu speeds this will require installing a rom that is overclock enabled. There are several located on this forum.

For some reason SetCpu was doing this. I just set it back to 480/528 and rebooted it and then uninstalled SetCpu and now everything is fine. For some reason SetCpu was the cause of this. I reinstalled to make sure and sure enough it was happenening again. I'm glad I figured it all out

Yeah, apparently you decided to create a new thread instead of utilizing the response I gave to your thread last night:
If it is not a ROM running an overclockable kernel apps like setCpu and OC widget will actually slow your phone down. If you would like to see your clock speed without this side-effect, I suggest SystemPanel.

For future reference, anyone not using a ROM based on Toast's kernel DO NOT install an OC program. This is the typical behavior and it is not fun to deal with because you will have to be patient waiting for the phone to start up and open the OC program to set it back and uninstall. I believe that just uninstalling and rebooting is sufficient, but am not 100%.

battery dying while in sleep

i just noticed this yesterday. i was playing a game on it for like 20 min and the battery was normal, lost like 1 or 2% during those 20 min. but the next day i took it off the charger with a full battery and then but it on my belt and 15 min later i turned the phone on and the battery was at 89%!!!! since then i have been messing with it and the battery only dies that quickly when the phone is off. any suggestions? im running nfinitefx45's rom(never did this till i tried fresh's new rom yesterday)OC to 710 with task killer set to auto

What widget are you using for overclocking and what are your settings? Also I believe with Fresh Hero you cant overclock, or at least shouldn't since its still using the stock kernel.
Anyway, the cpu should already autoscale up or down depending on what you're doing.
If nfinite's rom has the stock kernel you can always flash a newer one that you can overclock > Check out this page

im using darchkernel v4 for nfinite and using setcpu. 512 min and 710 max, have it set to ondemand

512 is almost the stock Mhz limit (576 is i think), your min should be closer to something like 245 Mhz so its not using a lot of power while sleeping.

[Q] SetCPU unstable on Galaxy S?

I've done numerous tests with and without OC and on different kernels (both normal and custom). So far SetCPU have only given me headaches. Random crashes, unable to wakeup, kernel panics... The list goes on.
According to these tests I've come to the conclusion that SetCPU is very unstable on Galaxy S and should not be considered supported at all.
What's your experience with SetCPU on Galaxy S? Is it conclusive with mine? Do you experience the same problems with Overclock Widget, or is it more stable?

after using setcpu for a few weeks and getting similar problems, i removed it.
There is pretty much no use in it for this phone, they allready scale from 100mhz - max speed (even oc if you have one) automatically

Are you using a task manager? I had the same problem as you until I removed the auto task killer I had previously installed. Now I can set setcpu to 100000 min 1000000 max ondemand for main with a profile of screen off 100000 min 1000000 max conservative.

Yes. I have the same problem on my stock SGS.

Setcpu is not working good on sgs. Try to remove it, and you'll get better battery life.

I don't know of anyone who has tested it on the I9000 (and there may even be alternatives or the same thing floating around the development subforum), but they claim to have a 1.2ghz overclocked kernel here for the I9000. Maybe best to be avoided, but a 100% use at your own risk alternative, especially if you're a bit unsure on any of the translated steps, is available here.

been using it on a vibrant for about 10 days and had my first issue last nite - it froze the phone - had to remove battery to reboot, tried again, froze it again
i thought it was the last two apps i'd installed so i removed them, then there was an update, downloaded and installed, so i did a number of settngs changes, closing setcpu, running benchmark quad, reopening & changing settings etc
about half dozen times
and it's been fine so far -

I had the same issue. I would pull my phone out of my pocket and it wouldn't wake up. I could call my phone and it would ring but my phone would do nothing until I removed the battery and re-booted. This happened numerous times until I uninstalled SETCPU and it stopped doing that so I knew I found the culprit and haven't tried it again since (I need to receive calls as priority 1)

doesnt anyone search anymore i posted this issue over a month ago. setting cpu mode to anything on than conservative can cause freezes as the system doesnt get enough cpu to wake up.. it is even mentioned in set cpu to use conservative.

I have it set to Conservative on my Vibrant, and I'm having the same issues as the OP.
Edit: When I go into SetCPU after pulling the battery and resetting, it shows it's limiting my CPU to 19.2 MHz. Yes, 19.2. Insane.

I killed my task manager service, and it didn't freeze up! I'm going to uninstall the task manager and see if I have any more freezing issues in the future.
Edit: Nope, didn't work. Removing SetCPU.

I have the Vibrant version with T-Mo. After rooting, Titanium, Barnacle and Root Explorer all seem to be working fine.
After a few minutes of installing SetCPU, my phone wouldn't wake up. Rebooted twice, same results.
Removed SetCPU and the phone's working fine again. Maybe the minimum speed should be set at 250 or so?

To begin with, you don't even need SetCPU
SGS phone automatically regulates the speed of the CPU depending on your usage.
most of the time in Stock ROM it hover around 200 Mhz, very few times it uses the max 1000 Mhz
only when there are lots of background apps running
when you runt he CPU at 1000 Mhz it gets hot fast, and it consumes more battery
good thing is it drops back down to 100~200 Mhz as soon as it's done with the heavy tasks
so having the SetCPU installed will defeat the whole purpose of power saving and CPU cycle on demand

I don't even remember the last time where we had a fixed clock on a cpu Allgamer. The point of setcpu is to either downclock or overclock your cpu. You might want to limit your clock to 0.6GHz just to save some juice.
Anyway, after a few hours of head scratching and 2 reboots, I uninstalled and refunded it.

I agree. Setcpu is rather unstable. I have feeling lots of the kernel overclockers have problems but blame the kernel while they should blame setcpu

i have just installed setcpu. it's probably been about a day or so now and i have not experienced any problems?
i have an Australian model (I9000) just flashed to the canadian firmware for the 3br fix.
Is it just generally not recommended to use setcpu on my SGS?
please advise. Thanks

It depends on what you're using it for. If you know what you're doing, it can be a useful tool. If you want to overclock, you'll want setcpu. If you want to underclock (lets say you're out and about, with 40% battery), then you can set the maximum cpu speed lower so that the battery will last longer.
You don't need setcpu if you're simply going to tell it that you want your max speed to be 1ghz, with a min of 100mhz and you want it to be "conservative". Your phone does that by default, and frankly the SGS is pretty good on its own when it comes to battery management.

thanks reuthermonkey, i will keep that in mind.

Menu and rescan the device should restore the normal values. those values are not the ones actually used!

Setcpu?

Which is the best setting to keep your setcpu for day to day use? Userspace? Performance? Conservative? On demand? Ineractive?

On demand probably.

Anybody else any suggestions

I use interactive... and screen off interactive..

But you should also enable profiles...
Such as "screen off" set to 245 for max and min that way when you lock the screen your saving the most power. Also for my own sake I set it for "battery<20% to be around 600 max and of course 245 min, just in case I'm low on power and need to conserve for some phone calls.

Using tricksterMOD, you can see that governors like interactive and ondemand have their own settings. I have been playing around with these settings, and I am still not finished with what I like yet. However you can use this post as a guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36743252&postcount=3113
With Interactive, you can set your go_highspeed_load to 806 or 768MHz. I have set my min to be 245MHz, max 1200MHz but highspeed load is 806MHz. This results in a kind of even split between the times that 245, 806 and 1200MHz are used. With ondemand or another governor, it generally spikes up to 1200MHz (your max freq) a lot, rather than scaling between the lower freqs. This results in more battery usage because you are staying at a higher freq for longer than needed. Performance is generally the same with interactive and ondemand if configured right.
What do these mean? Basically, with my device now when I touch the screen, it will ramp up to 806MHz. If the process is more than just moving something on the screen and more processing power is needed, it will automatically go to 1200MHz, and when its done and I am still touching the screen, it will go back down to 806MHz. When all I am doing is browsing xda or something, when I scroll it ramps up to 806MHz and when I leave it to read something, it will go down to 245MHz. Then obviously when its sleeping it goes into deep sleep (hopefully)

My battery life suckss.

You can't edit the governor settings with the daemon controller app. That's why we use the trickster mod app to edit things
By governor settings I don't mean switching governors, I mean the actual settings of it.
That stuff should disable itself but its best to remove them to avoid conflicts
