[Q] Serendipity Voltage Control - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im using serendipity 4.0.1, and rGB-v.4-Voodoo #10, im new to UV the phone, but i search in the post and found a template, i applied it and save it as boot setting, when i pressed the back button and open the app again, the values reseted, how do i maintain them?

The values reset because you didn't hit "Apply for now".
"Apply for now" applies the values until you reboot the phone and "Save as boot setting" saves your settings for everytime the phone boots up.
So, either put everything back in and hit "Apply for now" or restart the phone. I recommend erasing your bootup settings and hitting "Apply for now" so you don't end up in a boot loop if your settings are not stable.

how do i erase my bootup settings?

i dont know how to set up my voltage control app, it keep crashing on me

also consider the battery life for normal usage when oc ...

im not trying to over clock, i just want to save on battery but i cant seem to set up Voltage Control without crashing, i dont know what to do anymore, i cant set it up!!

Try going to adb shell and removing it, and then reinstalling it. If that doesn't work you might just need to reflash Serendipity.

i think the problem is not the app, is the values im using, i dont know what to do, i was pumped to using voltage control to save battery!

Have you tried lower values? Does it do the same thing?

I lower the values and it works, for a while, when i press the lock button i wait 2 minute or less and the phone crashes and i have to do a battery pull out!

What values are you using? Not all the processors in the phones are created equal, and some don't like to be run very far out of spec.

I would recommend to start conservatively.
Note: If u r using OC based kernels, try not to reduce much voltage from any step over 1200. I think I read in some post there (probably glitterballs' kernel related one) that 1200 and 1280 both use same voltage levels. So its best to be conservative on that end.
Values I regarded as safe are 100, 100, 75, 50, 50, 50 (bottom to top), and the ones I am currently using are 125, 125, 100, 75, 75, 50 (bottom to top), and I have my speed capped at 1000 (since this is sufficient for my needs).

Your phone may just not be quite capable of those undervoltages. It might not be capable of any undervolting at all. Remember, undervolting is running the processor out of spec. It's all luck of the draw if you get a processor that is from the top of the bin or a processor that is from the bottom of the bin.

As far as I know, every kernel that supports overclocking for the Captivate supports undervolting. I know for a fact the kernel you're using does.

Like I said, your CPU probably can't handle the level of undervolting you're trying to give it. Also, some peoples' phones can't even reach 1.28GHz (the stock clock of the kernel you're using) without undervolting at all, so your problem could easily lie there, unless you've limited the clock to 1GHz in Voltage Control.

Is it crashing for the values in green too? They were supposed to be very conservative, and the ones I regard as "safe".
And like "Auridran" quoted, try limiting speed to 1000.
Edit: I would recommend u starting with 25 for lower speeds, and try not reducing voltage at speeds over 800.

New(Free) Overclocking App(works for Haykuro)

I wrote an overclocking app today that will become opensource as soon as I put the source online(lol). This is confirmed to work on at least Haykuro's 5.0.1G ROM. Allows setting custom min and max cpu frequency. Enjoy . (Thanks buttkicker for this idea)
And the source code is now live on googlecode.
site is: http://code.google.com/p/openoverclocker/
UPDATE: New version up. Everything is now working and tested on both JF and Haykuro. Will continue to set clock even after reboot, so enjoy!

Nice Marcus! Just downloaded it from the marketplace, and it works! I don't mind the reset after restart because honestly, how often do we restart our phones? Confirmed working on 5.0G (apps to sd) as well. go poly! =]
Question: would it harm the phone to set min and max to 528?
wow, it works fine. thank you. its pretty fast
it doesn't seem to work in the H version
Hmm darn no go on H eh? Lol I'll have to wait till someone figures out how to overclock that one and then incorperate it.

I am running 5.0.2H, and it should work.
[email protected], are you doing anything different in the app?
Hmm no, not really. Except that I'm saving the values in files and then cat-ing them out to the frequency files. Perrosky, did you set a different minimum? It will scale between them so it might not run at max when you look at /proc/cpuinfo
seems to work fine with my G1. is this actually overclocking or just clocking the processor to its max.

As I understand it, the G1 has a scalable 512 MHz processor, so this is clocking it to it's max specs.

Thats what I thought, was reading it somewhere but couldnt remember so I just asked..
well some programs seem to run faster, but that could just be me.. i ran cat /proc/cpuinfo and got a speed of 383.38...i have it set to min 384 max 524 even tried 512 as max..when i run some programs it seems faster than before..but when i run term. emu to get speed it resets the app to 384 max. 248 min.
I got the 5.0.1H...
and I don't think it works for me too...
how to check ? If I set Max to 528 MIN 248 and click "apply" nothing happen
if I set MAX/MIN both 528.. phone hang/crash

Hmm interesting on the phone hanging. For the 528 max and 248 min the phone will run faster when taxed but will run the same at low points. Maybe try 528 max and 400 min and then see what "cat /proc/cpuinfo" says? If it says anything over 348 then you're already over what the normal maximum is

App always resets to 384 max and 248 min, I hardcoded those in. Next revision should support loading the actual speed and remembering what you put last.
After reboot, sometimes it hangs while requesting superuser access, then crashes.
Doesn't seem very different thus far. Any way to benchmark it?
I guess we'll find out if our battery life shortens.
Edit: Nevermind... I found my answer in this thread.
Saw this last night during my nightly before-I-sleep market app search.
Thanks!

Do you have the superuser whitelist app installed.
You will need that.
Not sure, but since the cpu is scaling, the terminal or other program would show the current cpu usage when it reads and display it.
So, if you're not doing anything in the OS, the readout would be near the low-end, when you check the freq.
I tried the software, but I wish it had a button to monitor or show the cpu mhz somewhere.

That will be in the next version. That's why it says MHz at the top, planning on putting the number there but gonna have to do some parsing of /proc/cpuinfo... somehow...

overclock widget

worked great for a while then kept force closeing anyone haveing problems??
It seems to be working fine for me. One thing is that when I set the clock to 128 or something, the status displayed on the widget still shows 527. The performance is significantly slowed so I assume it's doing it's job.
Overall I think it's a nice little widget. Great for maxing out performance, and maxing battery life by limiting performance.
Phone:
Black G1
JF 1.51
Yup...me too
I will make the change but it sometimes does not refresh the gui. It will also not work if you reboot. (if i remember correctly) also tons of force closes. I am on 6.01 and have tried JF1.5 and am curently on HERO but have not had success with the widgets on the build yet so I dont have a confirmation.
Could someone post the previous version of this app please? The updated version on the market shows "problem loading gadget" on the Hero rom when you add it to the screen..previous versions worked without any problems. Thanks in advance.
edit: nm..fixed it..just had to run the odex optimization script and all is good again
just use SETCPU from market...its more stable thank open overclock......at least it doesnt unclock back to 384mhz
what is a good configeration for over clock..i dotn want to mess up my phone??
I was thinking the same and should I have it on always max. Or what?
I've got mine set to 128Mhz min and 527Mhz max, it has drastically increased my battery life. Batter life barely drops 1% overnight.
Anyone have the Version before the 1.7 update. The new update doesnt seem to work on hero w/ Rosie.
You can grab the 1.6 apk from the Dev's Google Site (check the Files section).
1.7 doesn't work with Ion for me either

Did setcpu support choosing a different freq. when the screen is off? Setting that to 128 - 245 has helped my battery greatly. One question for anyone using OC apps, does your phones at any time run at a lower freq than what's specified as the maximum? I just set my phone to (with the screen on) to 128 - 384 because if I put it all the way to 527 it won't come down (unless I turn the screen off).

1.2.0 does not currently.
I swear, the next version will (I swear!). I'll also add some basic battery profiles (if battery is less than 50%, set the speed to something) and a profile for charging. Of course, it'll always be free here (link in my sig).

Yes. You can usually catch it by doing cat proc/cpuinfo in ADB. It depends on what the phone is doing at that moment.
That's strange it doesn't work well with hero. Since I'm using haykuros adp1.5hr3 it workd beautifully, but the regular overclocker app doesn't even budge and I uninstalled that..idk tho, probably a build issue as far as I'm guessing.

The creator of the original Overclock app hasn't updated his application for even Cupcake build support yet. I thought he removed it from the market.

Screen off Min128Max245
I can't find Overclock Widget in Market, was it removed?
I have the Overclock Widget and my question is, is it bad for my phone that while my screen is on i have it a min 527 max 527 then while screen off min 128 max 245... I've noticed that phone charges last longer but the useage of going back and forth determental to the phone? Thanks

Thanks, that would be of great help. Specially the battery profile settings. If you could also put a monitor, be it a widget or something on the notification bar it would be beyond awesome, or maybe a just notification of when the speed is changed and to what it was changed to.
Does anyobdy know if this SETCPU works on Hero ?
And must the app be on after i set the clock or can i close the app after ?

[Announcement/Update] SetCPU Profiles w/ Manhattan Kernel

First of all, for anyone who has not yet tried the new Manhattan Project 1.6ghz kernel by Team Whiskey, i suggest you do so (http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821514). It is currently in alpha but so far has gotten outstanding feedback. Ive personally been running it and I'm not looking back.
Up until now its been well known that SetCPU profiles not only dont work on our phone, but also causes crashes and severe instability. However, SINCE I FLASHED THIS NEW KERNEL (and running Bionix Fusion 1.1), I have successfully profiled my phone. Here is what I've been running all day with absolutely no issues, and my phone running like LIGHTNING:
Main: 1600-200 Conserv.
Screen Off: 200-200 Conserv.
Temp > 50: 800-200 Conserv.
I posted these results in the kernel forum, but I also wanted to post them here for everyone to see because i know that the lack of SetCPU profiles has been a major complaint around here. If anyone would like to try this out and verify that it works for them also with this kernel, please post here, so everyone can finally enjoy the beauty of overclocking AND underclocking.
Once again, I'm running Manhattan Project Kernel and Bionix Fusion 1.1
Outstanding!
Appreciate the profiles. Should be a great help. I personally lowered my Temp to 40c but thats just my opinion
Excited to get the running will tell results soon!
So had my phone sitting for a bit, it became unresponsive and i think it had something to do with the sleep profile. I went ahead and changed it to 400/200 conserv for testing.
Awesome. But is the set on boot option still not working?
Oh and just an educated guess bit I would figure no Voodoo on this kernel. So disabling just in case before I update

With screen off 200/200, phone does not wake up, changed to 400/200, still no wake up. Both set to conservative. Disabling profiles for now.
EDIT: Found the problem, if you enable Performance scaling on the main tab, and switch it back to conservative, it really doesn't switch. This is what was causing my Vibrant to not wake up! I had to set it to on-demand, leave setCPU and switch it to conservative, before it would stick. Re-testing 200/200 screen off.

you realize that the phone does this automatically, right?
turn on set cpu with nothing going on in the background and just let the phone sit. it will drop down to 200mhz and stay there.
the profile setting for temp is a good idea, but screen off is just going to cause lag issues. if the screen is off and the phone isnt doing a sync or something else, you can bet its probably chilling out at 200mhz

Thanks for the hope, it worked. YEAH! It now wakes when it should, and profiles appear to be working just fine.
EDIT: I was testing different benchmarks with scaling on conservative, on-demand and performance to see if they altered my benchmark results. The difference was minimal, but I forgot to change scaling back to conservative and it wouldn't wake. When I pulled the battery, rebooted and checked SetCPU, it said conservative, but was stuck on performance. Changed to on-demand, left SetCPU, back in and changed to Conservative. It worked.

dont be fooled, it can often work for a while before it shows its ugly side, be patient
I've never had any problems with profiles? The only thing that needs to be kept in mind is that if you check "set on boot" you'll get errors. Anything but "conservative" for scaling will give you errors.
edit: for screen off don't be so stingy trying to set it to 200/200, if you need more battery life then get a bigger battery or spare batteries or Juice Defender , I usually set it to 200/800 and I have no issues.

if it does so automatically then why is there an option to adjust "screen off" values?
Setcpu automatically scales between the high/low you set. SO if you let the main value stay at 1600-100..when the screen is off it will scale at a lower value of course cus you're not using the phone..but it wont stay at 200, because it has a Max of 1600! So depending on background processes it could scale back up to 4 or even 600 while screen is off
MY suggestions:
Download superpower battery saver from market, tweak to turn data on/off with screen and force ondemand cpu scaling
Download Autokiller--donate to get extra functions-- and set the value to Extreme or Ultimate when screen is off and Moderate or Optimal when it is on
I did that without setcpu profiles and it took 4 1/2 hrs to go from 81 % to 70

[Q] Why does my hero keep restarting? (Gingerbread 2.3.2 aosp)

It always restarts automatically, when i make a call, the call just freezes and when i turn the phone on from standby to see what happen, well you guessed it, it restarts! its pretty annoying i went through 2 batteries today in 8 hours, because of the restarts. please help!
If your using the stock kernel I think its overclocked to 768 not sure though. Try one of dec's 691 kernel the #589 is my recommendation. Hope it helps good luck.

There could be a lot of things happening. The most common is that your running a clock speed higher than that which your phone can handle. Not all heros are created equal, mine for instance starts rebooting at anything higher than 691. Try a different kernel or if using setcpu or over clocking widget to lower your upper end clock speed. Your phone freezing when coming out of standby can mean your lower clock speed is too low. ASOPGB has JIT enabled by default as well. Go into the settings and turn it off, then reboot. You will just have to play until you find out what works for you. Good luck!

Set cpu or similar will not fix the issue, laie was right a capped 691 kernel is needed and probably a capped recovery as well. Btw jit is no longer default in gb, and jit would not cause reboots anyway.

Ahh thanks for the info, I had not gotten through all the new posts on the other ASOP GB threads. Good to know though. I have no tried out the rom, I plan to this weekend and my phone does NOT like kernels that clock above 691.

Nexus 6 drops to 1ghz gaming

Hey guys so I got this problem I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten it because it is a little frustrating.
OK so my nexus 6 when I game it drops to 1ghz all 4 cores. I have chroma and elementalx. I've tried turning off thermal in kernel auditor and I have used core CPU control and system monitor and it goes fine for fee few seconds then drops down to 1ghz .
Its really annoying I really wish someone could help me. Thanks I'd advance.

change how your CPU is set up(by changing your governor/scheduler), and disable mpdecision. its very simple to get your CPU to work as you want it to, just learn what the different governors and their option do.

I have it on elemental governor, I heard you need busybox for it to stick but i dont know.
Sometimes I try to change the max frequency but it just won't change, the frequency's go all over the place haha.
Do you know which kernel is best for gaming on the nexus 6 ?

elemental is fine, probably do need busybox. but it sounds as you need to disable mpdecision.
BCL driver.
Check it out HERE.
You can even follow the instructions there to disable it.
Or you can install singularity kernel and the singularity kernel app with it. Singularity kernel has a option to disable it, along with a TON of other features.
The frequency drops because the CPU ***TEMPERATURE*** gets too high. Don't mess with it unless you like instability and "random" reboots.

We've already gone over this and confirmed that your observations are incomplete.
