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%.

Aw, this must be the one from the Dev section and got moved over here. I noticed it over there, but had already posted on the one in Q&A... So now there are 2 in Q&A.
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.
What are the perfect setcpu 2.0.3 settings for froyo JP6 I9000 rooted? Thanx in advance

Menu and rescan the device should restore the normal values. those values are not the ones actually used!
Hello, today i was browsing the net and then my GNote suddendly became slow...
i had rooted it with superOneClick, and i hadn't had any problem till now. I installed SetCPU and i saw it is running at 200/500mhz. How can i solve this problem? I tried to reboot many times and i pulled out the battery, but nothing changed.
I previously had installed cpu tuner, but also uninstalled it without problems and when the slow down started, i hadn't any overclock app on my phone. Thanks!
You have to scale it up to 1400MHz again using SetCPU. Since you don't have a clue on using it, i recommend that you uninstall it after you've clocked it to its normal state.
maybe it was low on power and it started using system power saving
It is charging (65%) although the battery level decreases...
And i used scale it up to 1400mhz, but nothing changes, only for a few seconds it runs normally and than back to be laggy
It seems that something is fighting against setcpu, any clues? I think that with a hard reset i will solve the problem, but this is my last willing.
And I installed setcpu after the lag started, i wanted to see the clock of the cpu because it was too slow.
Don't use SetCPU or any OC tools to check the CPU. Install Elixir 2 from the Market and see if it goes up to 1400MHz when you stress the phone.

Hi
can anyone help me with this problem.
Every time i unlock the tab(when it wakes up from sleep) it freezes, the screen doesnt respond for about 10 seconds, after that it works normally. Interesting fact is that this problem is not there when tab is on charging.
I am running MIUI XJ 2.3.10
But the problem is consistent with all the roms: stock, ics, boca.. all.
Are you using something to overclock or underclock, or undervolt your tablet CPU?
For example, there are some people who use profiles with SetCPU. They define that whenever their screen goes off, the CPU goes to a minimum 100 MHz. Which slows it down and then the tab takes its sweet time to get back on, since it's on slow speed.
Dont know much about MIUI but maybe they have CPU settings built in or something. If you dont use any overclocking, install setcpu, select minimum 100 maximum 1000 and select ondemand governor. Share results here. Dont select or enable any profile setting etc.
tried what u said with set cpu. still didnt help..
finally after lot of searching got an app called soft lock.
now my tab wakes up instantly without any freeze..
but have to check how much battery drains becaus this app probably disables deep sleep
thank u for ur reply

Hi,
first, I want to apologize for my bad english.
I have a problem with the clockingspeed of my HTC One.
I was impressed by how bad the battery life of the One is.
I found out, that the CPU is always clocking at 1,7Ghz, both values (Min AND Max) are set to 1.7 Ghz.
If I turn on the battery-safe option, it clocks at 1Ghz, but again on both values.
So, I have downloaded some CPU apps, which should let me change the clocking speed of the CPU.
Well, it works, but if I turn on "Set on boot", and reboot, the values are gone.
I thought, this would be caused by the stock ROM, so I have flashed the "InsertCoin" ROM, but no changes.
Has someone the same problem, or does someone has a solution for me?
regards.
The clock speed is dynamically controlled. When the phone is not in use, it should reduce the clock speed.
It sounds like you have an app that is preventing it from sleeping.
Install betterbatterystats and look for partial wakelocks. Feel free to leave a screenshot here.
Hi,
even if there is an app which would prevent my phone from clocking down, the MIN-value should be at 300/400mhz, and not be the same as the max-value ..
regards.
No idea..?
what hes saying is theres a rogue app mostly likely in the background thats pushing your phone that it thinks it should ramp up the speed of your phone. so even if you have it set to 384/1.7 the phone is detecting "oh **** *so and so* app is beastly bump the speed to max 1.7. bad analogy but you get the idea. i would start by wiping the phone install a brand new rom and DONT install anything just the mhz reader. then check. if your on a fully clean flash and still holding at max value all the time. then next is to check the CPU governor. it may have been set to performance at some point "accidentally" the performance governor forces the phone to hold at max speed. mostly only used for synthetic benchmarks.
Nope nope nope.
Nope.
I just had to S-Off my phone ..
