Overclocking notice? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im sorry if this is in the wrong section, but when overclocking my phone I notice that it tends to stay in the highest clock possible. If I have it at 1.2 its at 1.2 for 90% of the time. How can one fix this problem? Is it a kernal or voltage control problem?

Try disabling the perflock. That will allow your device to read the frequencies. The only thing is you have to disable the perflock everytime u reboot. But it will enable your custom profiles. I had the.exact same problem.
But as always you can download a kernel with the perflock permanently disabled. But if u like your current kernel, just disable the perflock inside Setcpu

What ROM and kernel are u using? If using a kernel like hardcore's speedmod, did u make sure u r flashing the Captivate version, and not the 9000 version.

Do captivates have this perflock? I never thought they did. The last I heard it was HTC phones that had this to be disabled. I have flashed quite some ROMs and kernels, and never had a necessity to even use SetCPU.
And to honest, I would recommend NOT to use set cpu on any captivate with 2.2 or higher rom/kernel. That tends to mess up the phone.

Im gonna be using phoenix 4.5 once it finishes downloading... but as of now, im on 4.1 and with setirons kernal1.5.6

If you are running an oc kernel try reverting back to an older one .If you are running setcpu or oc widget try raising the minimum freq. til it stops.

I tried running cm6.1, cm6.2, aospGBmod.2 and aosp9.9.2, all with the decafuct 691mhz capped kernal. Fail.
So I tried running aosp9.9.2 with the decafuct 768mhz kernal. Works amazingly. Thanks for the help man!

Yup, bumping up the min frequency will fix it
About that kernal, I don't know which one is default on aosp froyo 9.9.2 cause I flashed 768mhz decafuct right after I installed the rom :[

Nfinite's .2 stk rom,Decad3nce's Decafuct #589kernal 691mhz(you can use his 768 kernel) to get it to 768 you have to use his battery tweak,oc widget,or set cpu, latest radio .29 I believe.I strip all sprint bloat out,a2sd is enabled and set to zip-align apps on boot. I think thats it if I come up with more will edit this post.
Huge breakthrough. I'm running cm6.1 right now and using overclock widget and I figured out the fix for this is the cpu frequency update interval setting. If set for a long period of time, it doesn't seen to skip as much!

Great,glad to hear your Hero is rockin now!
i had this same problem when i switched to CM6.1 BlackMod it was really embarrassing when i had it hooked up to the Speakers at work and it kept skipping and a coworker had to plug up his VZW Droid.
quick fix was changing setCPU to Performance and not onDemand. i see you have your problem fixed just thought this would help anyone in the future.

[Q] Noobish - CPU doesnt want to be controlled

Hi. I'm new to here.
I have rooted my Gnote, and i dont know wether it is a full root or what.
For maximizing my battery, i underclocked my Gnote by setting max CPU freq to 800 MHz or 1 GHz using SetCPU.
But.. according to the CPU history using No-Frills app, it written there it is still clocked to 1400 Mhz and 1200 MHz sometimes.
Is this a rom problem? Or kernel ?
Btw i'm using stock and SpeedMod k3-3 kernel.

sometimes setcpu seems to not wanna start after a reboot so I really recommend you start the app and see everything is well in the app and see from there that your cpu frequency does not exceed the selected value. Otherwise I recommend using voltage control. I'm using it on speed mod and all is good for me.
Cheers.

yeah. sometimes the setcpu app says that it has been denied superuser permissions.. but dunno why :| any ways to solve this ?

Open super user and double check that its been granted permission. If so open your file manager and make sure you can access the data folder in root and set rw priveledges, make sure you have full root.

AOKP with ICZen won't hold CPU values

Just as it says... Vibrant with ICZen ... if I adjust the CPU values for max/min and governer and even with or without set at boot checked, the settings revert back to stock ... any ideas? I've reflashed 4x and fresh installed... same thing

Look at the int.d files they may be over writing your settings at boot.
Vibrant 360° Productions
It would be more beneficial if you posted ICZ bugs in the forum where I actually host the rom, we have a ton of great minds over there that are more than willing to help.
That being said, what are you using to set the CPU values? If using the AOKP controls, yeah, they won't hold. Use NSTools, free from the market, and your values should stick.

[Q]my i9000 is in deep sleep (C-ROM MIX)

Hwllo guys,
I installed C-Rom Mix v9.
My phone is turning off and is in deep sleep and not responding to any buttons
I have to remove and reinsert the battery yo reboot
Can you guys please help me?
thanks.
Disable the PM Sleep Mode in settings/developer options. And disable the deep idle in kernel if you enabled it.

i done .
But it's still sleep and play screenlock song continuously when I click the lock button.:crying:
Sorry what do you mean play screenlock song? Did you OC? If yes remove the OC.
Another solution is to flash a new kernel. Try Mackay kernel v0.105. I'm using this and so far no problem.

not OC
The screenlock song play while I press lock button and phone's screen turns off.
it looks like the voltage is too low and the phone freeze.
but I never change the voltage.
my process:
odin CM7->CWM install CM10-> CWM C-ROM MIX
it's not right?
Try re-flashing C-RoM Mix but do format /system first. Hopefully it will solve your problem.
If not, use the proven problem-free steps:
Flash back to GB via Odin
Then flash CM9 via CWM
Then flash C-RoM Mix
Before every flash of Rom, do full wipe, format /system, and flash Ultimate kernel cleaning script.
After flashing, do fix permissions.
A long process but works for me problem-free all the time.
Be sure to backup all your important apps, contacts, and calendar sched if you have any.

it still sleep.
Seems your phone has a bigger problem internally that we don't know, maybe a hardware problem already.
Did you already try flashing another kernel? A Mackay v0,105 or 0.106.
You can also experiment with your voltage setting (but this is dangerous to a phone and must be used moderately and cautiously).
I remember a User increased his lowest voltage setting to 1050mV for 100 and 200MHz instead of only 950mV.
This, the User claimed, made his phone not to go to "Sleep of Death" when he overclocks his phone.
This is just a suggestion.

JB and setcpu bug?

So I'm ruining the jb ota and i like to run my phone with the processing power cut in half. To this point I've been using setcpu, but since the update it goes back to 1.2ghz every time i turn the screen off or open another app.
So I'm wondering if there is another app that works as well as setcpu or if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong without changing ROMs.
Thanks ahead of time

Its a problem with locked bootloader/stock kernel.... you can try system tuner pro but it might do the same thing... but I like the tuner...
Sent from my DROID4 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
You need a custom kernel that's usually included with the CM/AOKP roms that is loaded via kexec, or wait for Myfishbear to make flashable oc scripts which will allow you to underclock in Setcpu.
Never had a problem with the stock kernel or locked boot loader before, but I'll try that tuner. Thanks
Update: tried tuner, no dice. Guess this new jb kernel is to blame /:
