Music stuttering when screen off using smartass/ondemand - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I saw people complaining about this in the dev forum and I also experienced this. My guess is that it this is related to the max frequency settings of these governors when screen off. I think smartass caps it at 300 something. I don't know about ondemand though. Could the low frequncy be the cause for the mp3 stuttering?

Overclocking with setcpu...

What are some good profiles for my captivate with the 1.2ghz kernel and setcpu?? Thanks in advance..

Whatever you do don't use "power save"
Phone won't wake in that mode.

I just set it as 100-1200 interactive. Then set a profile when the screens off 100-600 conservative.
As long as the profile is set from 200mhz - (200-1200mhz) the phone won't shut off and you won't have to remove the battery I had this issue on my phone....

That's because you had it set on "ondemand" I had the same exact issue for a long time before I figured out that was the problem. It has something to do with the kernel doesn't support it right with setcpu or something. I read it somewhere on this forum. I've had it set at 100 min for the last 3-4 weeks and it's never not turned on (as long as it ISN'T set for ondemand).
I'll bump this thread to ask a question.
Around the time I installed SetCPU, I noticed a HUGE drop in battery life. To be honest, I'm not sure if SetCPU is the problem, or if I changed something else on the phone and that's the source of my problem. Anyone know anything that I could have changed unknowingly that caused my battery life to suck so hard.
Don't use set cpu if you can avoid it. Sre sets you to 1.2 ghz and unhelpful supplies a script if you are comfortable doing that.
Limiting speed with set cpu had little positive influence. As long as the scalling is working the cpu should idle with the screen off any how. The only situation I would change the clock is during an overheat condition but I'm running without set cpu all together.
If I'm interpreting unhelpful right the next kernel will make use of user space in set cpu and allow many new things including under voltage to save battery and the creation of custom clocks not written into the kernel so you aren't bound to his preferences.

Where can you do that at? Is that where you make your own cpu speeds?
Use NSTools in any ICS ROM with Icy Glitch kernel.

Setcpu question

Can someone explain to me exactly what each scaling option does while using setcpu?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
In a nutshell, it's a setting for how and when your CPU will be sped up or down, depending on what it's doing. For example, the conservative scaling, it tends to keep the speeds down more of them while the opposite is true for performance. The others are tweaked, in-between settings. On-demand and interactive are the best in my experience

Setcpu

Is anyone having problems with setcpu? My phone kept locking up in me forcing me to pull battery several times a day. Got rid of setcpu and haven't had a problem since. Now using NoFrills CPU controller and no problems what so ever. I can only come to the conclusion setcpu was causing problems. I've used it on a couple other phones with no problems but it just wasn't playing nice with the Thrill or some combination of apps.

I have it on my Thrill, but I don't have a custom Kernel so I can't OC it. Where did you get an overclockable kernel for it?

I'm not OCing. I use it to underclock and change governors.

I am actually having the same exact issue. My phone will freeze throughout the day maybe 2 or 3 times. I just hold the power til the phone shuts off. I am still running set cpu and just dealing with the freezes. I had setcpu on my inspire with no problems. Maybe its just the phone?

What exact settings?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I have setcpu running. I've had a couple of slight issues but not what you're describing. I've noticed that my market will suddenly say no connect (or however it's worded) even though I have bars or wifi on. And there are times when I got to turn wifi off or on and it will just stay at the wifi turning off/on until I reboot it.
I also noticed extended controls is starting to forceclose a lot.
Day 2 with NoFrills and still not a single issue...

I believe the problems comes from setting the speeds too slow.
Only happens to me when I change the speed down to lowest when screen is off. Phone will lock up after it gets into Deep Sleep. After increasing the speed a bit, SetCPU has no problems for me

That's probably what it was then. Underclocking with nofrills hasn't reproduced the problem yet. I also used nofrill to change the I/O scheduler to though so that might be part of what fixed it. I'm gonna try setting CPU profiles with tasker and see what happens.

[Q]How to enable only two cores? (CM ROM)

Hi all.
Dont know if this is a stupid request
I am on CyanogenMod based ROM and i want to save battery (maybe) disabling some cores of my O4X...
I read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804461
but not working on CM ROM so...
I ask you!
I read also this 2 threads but I dont know if they are only for htc one x
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630200
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652136
There are tricks to enable only 2-3 cores or something like this?
For CyanogenMod of course!

Hi, you could try with this nice app called Tegra Overclock. I've been using it for quite a long time now and I really like it. It's very simple and you can REALLY set how many CPUs you want online + there are also some other options for OCing etc.
Oh and btw, I just tried that app from the HTC One X thread that you pasted and unfortunately, it doesn't do the job. :/

No problem. I hope that It will help you with your battery life.
also cpu tuner and trickstermod do the job pretty well. If your aim is to save battery check cpu tuner out
But seems that trickster mod dont save those settings for me...
Multicore Power Saving
always set to 0
Max Active CPU core
always set to 1
No way to fix them (various rom and kernel tested).
AND
Seems that tegra overclock fired up my CPU (CPU never goes under 1000 Mhz but always on max)
my phone after few minutes reboots in bootlop cause the temperature reached !
I reinstalled the ROM!!
LOL experience!!:banghead:

You need to set up min/max cpu that way u wont be stuck on max cpu speed and overheat your phone.Tegraoverclock is fine but i am kinda used to SetCpu app.Download cpu spy from market and watch deep sleep that way you will know whats going on with cpu all the time.BetterBatteryStats are fine too.

CPU frequency limitation issue

I have used Perform control app, SetCPU app and PimpMyZ1 app.
none of them solved this, i reset the rom and tried pretty much everything.
so im here to ask if this is happening to everyone else as well.
The minimum frequency for cpu is 300mhz but as soon i touch the touch screen the frequency jumps to 1900mhz,
it doesnt matter what governor i have in setting or if i limit max frequency to less than 1900 mhz.
is this snapdragon setting to jump straight to 1900mhz?
i have tried different kernels no change :/
im quite sure its something that is ment to happen
its to prevent visible lag when interacted with by the user
make sense??

it was DooMLoRD kernel.
at the moment i upgraded to 4.4 so its stock kernel and its not happening anymore.
im not sure if it was 4.3 thing that made it jump to 1.1ghz just by touching screen or it was kernel
Normal behaviour due to mpdecision
