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.

Oh, okay, I haven't tried underclocking.

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?

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.

I am running the latest nightly in cm9 and I set my cpu speed using system tuner to min 192 max 1.78 and interactive. At first both cpus are online and if I hit times in system tuner it shows times for both cpus. After awhile the 2nd core will go offline and system tuner only shows one cpu in times. I also set system tuner to force cpus online on reboot so if I reboot both cores are back online. The 2nd core does not go back online even under intensive use unless I reboot. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure the boot setting for force all CPUs online 'On boot Completed'
Reboot.
Use the performance governor.
Move the slider for the second core to whatever frequency you want.
I already have force all cpus online on boot complete set. I have two sliders under cpu0 and cpu1. I thought one was min and one max. Thanks for the help!

You are correct, one us min, the other max. Also re-apply boot setting: on boot complete.
If you see in times > the right side chart has a column for cpu1, then it's clocking. Depending on your governor choice, it could be off-line.
Don't forget to reboot and re-check your settings.
The Times for the 2nd cpu will disappear only showing the first cpu and it will show the 2nd core offline. In the beginning it shows cpu0 and cpu1. After a sleep I t will show only one.

dont now if this thread is to old,
but I have/had the same problem here.....I had it on my HTC evo 3d but after an update from from dev it was perfectly working as it should....it was the period when my phone got ICS and with it the new 3.xxx Linux kernel...and now I have got a touch pad since Monday and flashed it already with cm9 aokp remix and have the same problem here...even under heavy load the second core re,gains offline what is not normal, it can not be that because the asynchronous management of the cores is the 'problem' (what many people try to explain to us, what have this problem) . I think it is something kernel related...maybe the kernel not tweaked properly? I don't now, just a thought because we or me have 2.6 kernel version...governor changes don't give the effect I want....have choosen the same options in android tuner and in aokp tweaks
Would really appreciate it if someone would know the solution to this problem
Upped my minimum cpu speed to384 and now they both stay online. Hope this helps!

This helps, but battery life isn't so good as it should...shortens it very much...
I didn't find it affected battery life much. Try finding the rogue app that is hogging the battery by freezing some apps.

I downclocked my O4X to 1.2GHz 2 cores using LG gearbox from the other thread. I got sick of it resetting the settings and not knowing what speed im on so i uninstalled it having set the speed to 1.5GHz 4 cores before doing so.
Then i installed QuadGearBox but the same issue is there. I also don't see any improvement to battery life using it. So i uninstalled it today, turning it off before doing so.
I started to wonder if my cpu speeds are back to normal so i ran a test with linpack (since it tests multicore and only CPU) but found out the result is 60-70, half of the test GSM Arena did.
So i reinstalled LG Gearbox and saw the default setting shown is 1.5 2 cores. I set to 4 cores, uninstalled it, and restarted my phone. After that i did a linpack test again and the score went up to 80-90 still short of 141 on GSM Arena.
I am using SetCPU now but i have no idea what to do. TBH I right now im kinda panicky.
How to find out how many cores im actually running on, and set it right?? There's a fifth slow core but is it being utilised?

The gearbox reads settings from system file so it should be device current status.
You could also monitor active cpu cores by show cpu usage in hidden menu.

I am seeing the cpu usage now. It used to be only two cores running. Then i reinstalled gearbox and it show as 2 core which i later set it to 4
After that i ran the stress test in setcpu and saw all 4 lit up.
But the thing is after restart it defaults to 2 cores. Anyway to fix this?.

The original QuadGearBox will set active core on device boot. So just turn off the eco mode in QuadGearBox.

Ok and so i did a factory reset from recovery.
Now im free from any cpu meddling apps and seeing all 4 cores lit up. Getting 80-100+ on linpack but still short of 141 (is it even possible to get that?)
Does this mean i am back to normal now?

Doesnt seems to really means you are on quad. I dont really understand still but i do see only 2 bars got lit when i hit linpack repeatedly.
Now i sees 4.

I have changed my firmware from 10F to 10H as I heard that it is much better. I rooted it and then reset it to factory settings and I deleted some of the bloatware. I used LG gearbox and set the CPU speed to 1000mhz on two cores and used this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2048315
In additions, I installed fast dormancy toggle from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2021248
Yesterday, I used the phone with light usage such as browsing for a few minutes that's all, but still the android system was on top, I hardly used it why is this?
On the CPU it shows that it was running on 51mhz for more of the time than deep sleep, that must be the reason why the battery had been draining.
android system is more than one app, is the system it self...
Its logic why is on the top
yeh but even wen my phone was not in use how come it was hardly on deep sleep? compared to the galaxy s3 this battery is much worse as on s3 the android system is below the screen and screen is on top for usage. on the s3 when the phone isnt in use it is mostly on deep sleep.

Even in deep sleep the clock is working, the alarm, keys software...
Like when we are sleeping, heart keeps beating, etc...
That's why it's logic to be on the top

Disregard this, the guy is wrong. Your phone should be in deep sleep most of the time.
Could you please obtain "BetterBattery Stats" or a similar program to post screenshots of your kernel and partial wakelocks? This would help us figuring out what is wrong. My friend has the same phone, and Android system is on top for him too most of the time. We are still trying to find out what is going on.

He's right... Sorry, my mistake
When in deep sleep :
In first place should be "Cell standby" and after "Phone idle".
It's what I have in mine...
After 9 hours my battery drain was 1% in deep sleep.

Check the CPU Governor ,, for dual core we set it "hotplug" but about quad core I do not know .
But mainly the problem with governor ,, governor means something like profile . It controls the CPU frequency to get performance or powersave or both of them .
To change governor install any CPU app and you will find it .
Search about governor with quad core in google . Sorry my phone is dual core (Optimus 3D) .

The Governor has no influence on any app or system process holding a wakelock. The governor merely controls the way the CPU frequency is scaled depending on load conditions.

Yeah . I know
The governor controls the deepsleep which makes system off
So by the governor can enter deepsleep then the system will off .
I know what I say , I do not post things I'm not sure about them

maybe phones battery isnt calibrate. let battery get empty completely & charge it again. repeat this job several times. then use battery calibration & easy battery saver.

did you make sure your apps running don't keep your phone awake? and that the phone does go into deep sleep?
a bit off topic but my problem is that the battery has been stuck at 24% for the last 12 hrs, I've not been using the phone because the earpiece speaker is broken so waiting to get it repaired. I've tried rebooting the phone and still at 24%, I'm going to play a video until it drains the battery and do a full charge. battery info shows the phone has been on for 2 days 11hrs since last charge on standby most of the time.
battery
i charged the phone yesterday night now the battery is still on 100% with no use all day. if i open wifi or start for example an app the battery goes down like a countdown.whats the problem then?
Any good apps with profiles and multi core support? Preferably free
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk 2
I have used Νο frills cpu and antutu cpu master (not free) which supports profiles and its quite good its behaviour. If you're concerned about battery efficiency , i didnt notice any improvement with any of the apps i have used.
Hmm after looking at the frequency states of my cpu I have concluded that there's not much need for any CPU tweaks, just have to wait for jellybean or a miraculous breakthrough that makes custonexus fully functional

Written elsewhere,people say that even the lg launcher consumes battery compared to other launchers.Try testing some.
