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.

Had thr same problem in the beginning way back idk how i guxed it i guess its the stock rom idk

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.

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.

[mod] Avoid random freezing w/ OC kernels

this is for those who have been discouraged from OC kernels due to random freezing. Some vibrants (like mine) dont OC well and randomly freeze, also the heat up to 100+ degrees Fahrenheit quickly. ive tested this w/ kingklick's kernel and been running freeze free for a couple days and staying under 92 degrees and i get really good Bat life....(FB, Push Exchange Email & Twitter running in background, ESPN scoreboard widget, LWP, texting all day, plus wifi on w/ pandora running------60% battery on a class/workout day which is 9am-6pm)
Im running this w/ a stock Vibrant firmware thats rooted... (No i aint running a deodexed Stock ROM)
No u cant have a OC Kernel w/ leaked Firmware
Dwnload SetCPU (if you dont have it already)
OC to 1200MHz
- Create Profile in SetCPU for Temp > 50.0C and make it 800/200 w/ a Conservative Cpu governor.. (if u use OnDemand or make it the bottom number 100MHz, u will still freeze up.)
- Create Profile in SetCPU for Screen Off and and make it 600/200 w/ a conservative CPU governor..(if u use OnDemand or make it the bottom number 100MHz, u will still freeze up.)
Remember: Doing anything to ur phone is at ur discretion....u will b a sad panda if u blame me for u messing up ur phone

Cool thanks for this. I'm one of the unlucky ones my phone gets super hot when OCing. Going to try this out and report back if it successful.

im going to try these settings, hopefully they will improve my battery life...

I'm gonna try this on my cappy. Heat wasn't an issue, but it would freak out and hardfreeze on me constantly, especially under 3d testing.

just a quick question, what is an unsafe temperature to be running the phone at? mine is typically in the high 90s but it gets to 102 when charging

normally it should get around 95 w/ heavy use

Just pulled it off the charger and since it slowed to 800mhz it seems to be doing fine. As soon as it cools i'll run a quadrant/stresstest and report back.

Mine got up to 108 on stock everything when I first got it and everything seemed fine...

Phone got quite upset again. Hardfroze on quadrant.But i am also using a completely different kernel than you guys, so i wouldn't count my opinion for much.

Thanks for the settings. I just set it up, will let it run throughout the night and will repost status report tomorrow.

Seems to work here. Nice find.
EDIT: I take it back. it hard freezes on my vibrant. Running euge's touchwiz3

Your phone does not support overclock even though it has the same everything . Mine froze at 1.2ghz

Mine gets to 122° running @ 1.4ghz been running this way since nov 2010. Had no problem thus far .116° is what samsung says to not let it get past

Some phones are just not going to allow oc. But this may help some ppl be able to oc.

Optimus 2x *Underclock* benchmarks

Has anyone underclocked their O2X? I personally think that overclock is a bit of a placebo effect so I just want to know if anyone has underclocked their phone and if they can kindly share the performance of the phone as well as some benchmarks. I've seen people underclock their Galaxy S2 right down to 500mhz and performance is very smooth! Is O2X similar?

I didn't do any benchmarks (speaking of placebo effect ) but I use setcpu with vorkkernel so that my top frequency gets more and more limited with the battery level and overnight. This way I manage to only loose 1-2% during the night and the phone alive for a couple of hours when under 15%.
I noticed a certain UI lag when under 500mhz but not so much in the graphics department, I guess the gpu has it's own clock.

I have underclock/undervolt to 800Mhz/900mV and works very smoothly

just got setcpu... those profiles are awesome

Lg home is a memory hog and seems to be quite cpu intensive compared to most other home apps but if using a dif homescreen then maybe it will still perform smoothly otherwise i doubt it will perform good.

Hi... I have installed cynogenmod 7.1 Stable. In Performance > CPU Settings, it shows 216/1000MHz as the only available frequency. I installed SetCPU, it closes saying some error.
Can you please tell me what I have to do, basically I want to underclock it for battery issues.
Thanks

Just undervolted all default values by 100mV, stress test running perfect. CPU at 52C on a 18ish ambient day.

I have 3 setcpu profiles on stock.
In call : 312/216
Screen off : 216/216
Battery <100% : 760/216
Getting amazing stand by time, 2h 30m since I unplugged the charger and only 1% battery spent.
Getting decent results during use as well, or atleast thats what I call it. Earlier today I went through 400+ google reader articles over wifi and watch accompanying youtube videos and also checked some external links. After about 30 mins I lost 7-10% battery. I think thats good enough, unless someone here is about to blow my mind with their results

3h and 30m now still at 99%.
5 minutes of evernote and battery at 95% now. Sooo unsatisfying.

benchmark @800Mhz

Topogigi v20 SP3.
Andrev OC 800MHz wake.

pretty smooth for daily use.
if play heavy games, I restore it back to 1GHz.

what kernel

Neoblaze, from SP2.
I need as stable ROM as possible, but fast.
all stock from Topogigi's built.

Do you have google video calling via front cam ? That's all I care about and I cant find the answer anywhere.
My lg might be getting decent battery life but the entire operation/daily use experience is very bad. Last night I used subsonic to stream my home library to my phone and while I listened to it I read stuff on google reader and then everything started to lag. Just setting the max and min isn't working well for me. I ran antutu last night and got 4500ish numbers with setcpu and juicedefender off and You are getting 6500+

quabrant 1580marks on 600mhz
after 3 hrs on 600mhz I'm impressed with the battary live!
3hrs wifi browsing, 2times quadtant test. battary dropped 12%

Post more info, what rom, kernel etc. I set my max to 600 and I get good battery but it takes all the fun out of using it, everything lags. You can still do things sure but I dont like lag.

How is the battery life ? Also the 800mhz wake and undervolt are those part of sp3 or extra steps you did ?

100% stock rom + over it.
the version is 2.2.2 v20b
nothing lags. the only diference i see is thet lock screen sart to respond about 1second after power button is pressed. before it was instant.

Thanks for the info. I'm on v21b rooted with setcpu max set to 600ish and there is noticeable lag everywhere. Feels like how the phone was when I first got it and had to replace the lg launcher to get rid of the lag.

6500+ is when I overclock to 1,4GHz.
it's only for benchmark, and not for daily use.

battery life is about 24h of normal use.
I always connected to wifi.
oh, and I replace LG Home Launcher with Xperia Launcer.
it's lighter, no lag even use lower clock speed.

[Q] [i9001] Phone heating

Hii.i've got a i9001 running cm9 ics.sometimes, when i'm ussing the phone or just walking trough the menu, it heats up.i nearly can't touch it.i installed mininfo and it shows that the battery has 55°C/60°C.what should i do?
P.S: when it's superheating, the phone becomes very lagy

Try a cache/dalivk wipe? Clear ram? If that doesn't work fix permissions or try a full wipe use a kernel script cleaner and reflash I have no problems with heat unless I'm doing a lot on it, and I I'm using it a lot while charging it becomes hotter but this is normal but not from simple menu scrolling, check the CPU settings as well make sure its not got a high min cpu frequency. If all this doesn't work undervolt a bit this will lower the temp as well
