Setcpu Profiles - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hey guys, I want to know what should I set my profiles to in order to save battery but at the same time keep the device running fast?

I use 648 max 192 min on ondemand, and I have no problem running anything at all, including Sense 3.6.

But how is your battery life and what rom are you using?

End the day roughly at 60% battery. Just on a rooted version of Telstra's stock ICS, fully odex'd.

any of you guys see that setcpu always asks for permission from su
i remember from my inspire days that it didnt do that...

I have mine max 1026000 min 594
Profiles-- screen off max 540 min 486
Conservative

I see it. Every so often it pops up at the bottom of the screen that it has acquired root permission. I'm concerned that something is causing setcpu to restart unnecessarily.

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.

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.

[Q] SetCPU unstable on Galaxy S?

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.

[Q] best setcpu settings for t-mobile G1

hello i am searching for the best setcpu settings for G1 so i will get the hell out of my g1 !! please help and if double post sorry i didn't see the other at related threads
576 max, 528 min
122 122 on sleep
This is the setting that I have been using, the good thing is it has failsafe profile as well to prevent overheating
Profiles are listed according to order (high priority to low)
Main setting 528 max 245 min
Screen off 245 max 122min (245 max to allow background apps to function properly)
temp>38.6 352 man 245 min
Charging 537 max 245 min
Battery<40% 480 max 245 min
u can set your own max speed, but not advised to go beyond 576
245 is set as minimum when awake because that is the original minimum clockspeed of the cpu
remember to check 'set on boot' and 'enable profile' setting
change them to your liking n have fun!
p/s: my setting is based on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6762470&postcount=208

try it out for yourself, set it, and forget about it, and do your normal daily usage, after that you'll notice of the extra juice available

Keep in mind, the best settings may be none at all.
SetCPU does take a few MB of available RAM - a precious commodity on the G1. I've been going without it using Farmatito's kernels - it defaults to 528 and 245, I think. Only drop about 1% an hour on standby.

Good idea! It may be wise to remove the SetCPU to get more available RAM if the battery won't drop fast without SetCPU.

[Q] 1% Batteryconsumption per two minutes normal?

Hey guys,
I just wondered if you guys have the same problem that you lose 1% battery every 2 minutes when you´re having your display on. I know it´s quite known that big screens suck the battery like a vampire but that´s just odd, because I don´t even have to do anything with the phone just staring at the activated display.
I´ve had these troubles from the beginning with FW 10G then updatet to 10H and did factory reset- nothing changed. I tried different brightness levels without any differences in battery consumption, which is totally uncommon. And the freaky thing is there is no difference whether I have airplanemod on, wifi turned off and so on. It is always the same... Although when the display is off there is as good as no consumption but really 1% battery per 2 minutes that´s just sick. I can´t believe it.
Now i wondered if this is normal or if I should turn it to the customers service to check it.
Please tell me if you explored the same things with your LG 4X HD
Well i found it odd too but if you would root the phone and install something like setcpu you would actually see
Min CPU Freq --------------- 1.5 GHz
Max CPU Freq -------------- 1.5 Ghz
Er yeah .... after saying that i think you know why its using the battery so fast. I rooted my brothers phone and changed the clockspeeds , but no matter how low i set the min freq on "no frills cpu control" it always shows on the toast message 750 Mhz or somewhere around that.

Well thank you... I´ve rooted it and thought it had something to do with apps running in the background but it didn´t help at all so I thought this can´t be, mine must be wrong somehow.
Especially because i haven´t heard anything in reviews or forums about this rapid battery drain. This is something I´m wondering most, how can a phone taking so much battery be rated so high It sucked 3% watching a 3 minute video on youtube...
I won´t think I´m going to be happy with this phone and the best is when I contacted customers service later today they told me to send it in because its not normal, but now that you said the cpu is set this high no matter what, I can just suggest they don´t know anything about their phones...
Bet the only reward I get sending it in is "all is fine our phone likes to suck your battery, so what? Just keep the display off"
Screen off "deep sleep" battery drain is quite bad too ..

For me. The battery says its fully charged after 1hr. But it actually takes 3-4hrs befire it reaches the absolute full capacity.
Battery lasts twice as long then...
