The tittle says it all when my phone is at like 90 something percent it tends to turn off. At first I thought it was a from problem but I switched and it continued. Can anyone tell me what to do?

Seems like a charge of death. Try changing kernel. What kernel are you currently running?
Cm9 kernel. I only use miui and roms from teamhacksung . But I just saw that both if them are getting new kernels.
Charge death has happened to me on all ICS roms.
What worked for me was to create a profile to set minCPU to at least 200MHz while charging (mine is 240MHz since I have it OC to 1200MHz).
AND, just in case you have this too, to prevent sleep death I also set the min to 240MHz when battery it higher than 75% (or you can used Captivate Keep Alive)
Thanks I'll try that.
Setting the min CPU to 200MHz, and upping the voltage of the 200MHz step to 1025 mV seemed to help for me. I was getting the deaths at lower voltages.
OMG. 1025mV for 200. You can also check my ROM OP for voltage settings.
And how old is your battery? May be its worth going thru full discharge/recharge cycle.

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.
OK...so MUCH THANKS to Mr. Carlisle for gettin me all squared away with rooting my Hero and upgrading to Froyo 2.2. All back ups complete, apps downloaded and only major bug thus far is the camera...SO....why is my battery running at 105 degrees on average? What should the normal range be? I turn it on @ 6 am after charging to 100% and wiping battery stats and ten hours later recharge it to 100% (Currently @ 50%) and all day the temp has been between 103 and 105. whycome? HELP!

Because on FRF91 on Cyanogen mod (which i assume you are using) is overclocked to 710 mhz, where the hero's processor runs at 528 normally. My suggestion is to download an app called overclock widget from the market, (Obviously, it's a widget and you'll have to add it to your homescreen) and set the minimum and maximum clock (processor) speed to 240mhz(min) and 518mhz [or 534, if you want to, but it won't make much difference] (max).
You can set the max (or minimum) clock speed to be more or less. Lower clock(processor) speed=More lag but better battery life, and potential to freeze your hero because the processor can't operate the system fast enough. Higher clock(processor) speed= Faster and less lag but less battery life and can damage your touch screen (It's happened to me). if you leave it at too high a clock speed for too long, and can also freeze your phone because your processor can't operate at that speed and crashes your phone.
It's up to you if you want to overclock or not, but you should keep it resonable, and if you have heavy phone usage, don't go much further than 613 mhz for your max. There is also another program called set cpu that is avalible for free for xda members, but is a paid app on the market. Using that, you can set your frequencies to the default hero processor, or of other phones. But overclocking over 710mhz could do some harm to your phone, so be careful.
If you say, "I wonder if this will damage my phone," then don't take the chance without asking around first.
If you have any more questions about overclock, pm me, and I can help you out.
That temperature range, ~40C is completely normal when charging and using at the same time (with me, anyway). I'm OC'ed to 710 and using undervolt, too. The highest I've ever seen mine go is 43C, or about 109F. I don't really know where the "danger zone" is, but if I had to guess it would be around 48C or higher.
Edit: I reread your post, and do you mean it's at 40C always, even when it's sitting doing nothing? If that's the case then follow Ryoma Echizen's advice and fine-tune your CPU speed.
Suckerpunch Kernel on Serendipity 6.2
I was playing around with OCing to 1.3 after achieving a stable 1.2 OC, and stupidly set to boot settings instead of applying on accident. Had to turn phone off for a bit to save power, fast forward an hour when I turn it on; get a kernel panic on boot, do a battery pull & reboot; get to homescreen, fiddle around a bit, freezes, batt pull again, eventually (after 2 more kernel panics) figure out that I had stupidly set the settings to boot instead of applying. Could this have caused any damage or added any sorts of instabilities to my phone?
No it should be fine. As long as you put the OC level down to 1200 or 1000 (and also the Undervolt (UV) settings if you messed around with those) and to save that as the new boot setting, it should be alright.

Yep, done that. I do have a question about the active states, though; are those the frequencies which the phone will utilize?
Typically yes, getting to 1200Mhz should be easy and no problem... It's really a balancing act.

This guide helped me get started at first, and it will definitely help you optimize your OC/UV settings.

I've read that, yes, that's where I got started as well. However, I don't understand fully what the States option in Voltage Control does.

Selecting states in VC is what allows the phone to use that state. So if you set your max clock to 1200, but 1000 is the max state you have checked, the phone will only ever use 1000 as the max. You need to set both options.
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...

Hello, I'm using Titan Stock ROM and it was working quite OK, but I noticed that with high CPU usage during longer periods of time (Like when you are calling on Skype with both webcams on) after like 5 minutes (depending on ambient temperature) the CPU throtling kicks in and you can barely end the call because the whole GUI of Android gets completely unresponsive.
Quick questions:
- What is the maximum "safe temperature" for the CPU to not break? 60ºC is way too less.. as it gets easily to that temperatures.
Now in hope of getting this a bit fixed I recently installed the "Stellar Kernel". I set the CPU settings as recomended on its kernel page (Undervolted to Min Freq. 98MHz and Max Freq. to 1190MHz). Now its just a nightmare. It overheats even quicker.. and when it throttles you can just pray to do anything.. (I changed finally to Min Freq to 385MHz but that doesn't helps much).
And on the other hand thanks to the underclocking the phone doesn't wants to wake up during minutes.. which is quite unpractical when somebody is calling you.. you can hear the phone ringing but you cannot accept the call because the phone doesn't want's to wake up. But that got somehow fixed putting it back to the Min Freq. +300Mhz.
Just want to know if somebody knows about some magic setting which allows the phone to function properly during longer time.. as far as I'm aware 1190MHz is the original maximum Freq. of this phone so no overclicking is done here. So it looks that the only way to have it working somehow decently is to underclock the maximum frequency and leave the minimum frequency high enough to work properly. I don't really care about battery anymore, as I just need the phone to be functional, and as it is now it's just not. Any advices? Thanks for any reply.
You probably have a hardware problem

acquire kernels and other que rooms have different governors Study on them and the Best That was enough pro you and your needs .
I think this will help you , give will take this need to manually change the clock all, the governor will operate according to its governor preferably .
