over clocking issue
Hello all,
I have purchased a used prophet, unfortunately the person who sold it to me did not use it for approx 3 months, so what i did naturally is as soon as i purchased it i have up graded to WM6 Touch rom. I have activated the over clock feature which worked great.
After a few hours my battery suddenly died, it turned up that the battery needed to be changed after i purchased a new one i released my phone kept hanging and becoming slow and sluggish, i started to hard reset and re-install roms and so on, then i remembered that i have set my cpu speed before it dead to approx 65 Mhz. So i re-installed the over-clock app and set it back to 195, now it works great....
so be carefully

Rom'd HTC Hero randomly reboots

Hey guys,
A few weeks back I rom'd my HTC hero with VillainRom 12 and it was working great for awhile. Now however it crashes all the time, or just freezes up and I have to remove the battery.
I have the phone over clocked to about 650mHz. The battery temps seem fine.
Has anyone else experienced this problem before? Any way I can do a debug on my phone to find out what's crashing?
It's really starting to annoy me considering that I use my phone for my business and it's not good when a customer calls and my phone dies and reboots when I go to answer a call.

try overclocking to a lower extent
it might be because your phone cannot handle ur clock speed
(my MAX clock speed is 672... it simply crashes with 691 or higher)

You were absolutely right. It was clocked too high.
I turned it down and now it works great.
Thanks for the tip.

652 seems to be my max.

710 is my max, I can't go below 192 either or the phone starts to have a fit, I wanted to use a lower clock speed in "screen off" mode, but I'll have to stick with 192

[Q] SetCPU causes phone to freeze when used to underclock when screen is off

So no matter what kernel I use, when ever i use SetCpu (or overclock widget) to underclock my phone when the screen is off it causes the phone to freeze and I have to pull the battery out. I set it so that it goes down to 200mhz, tried 400mhz and experienced the same problem. Any ideas? Solutions?

More info.. What rom are you running? Are you sure your rooted? What settings are you applying?
I have not had any issues yet with setcpu and my screen being off

I'm running Baked Snack 1.1, doesn't matter what rom or kernel I use though, it still happens.
It doesn't matter if I use overclock widget or SetCpu, if I were to set it so that my phone underclocks to 200mhz or 400mhz while the screen is off it freezes and I have to pull the battery.

Same here im running stock and i've tried setcpu and no matter what i hav to pull the battery out everytime. So i uninstalled it.

I had the same problem set the cpu with min of 400 and max off 800 should fix your problem

It means that there is not enough voltage run that frequency on your phone. Some times these kernel developers undervolt the phone which all phone don't support at all. Try some other kernel like the xtreme kernel. That kernel actually work for me and I can underclock my phone without freezing.

wow.. i just posted something like this i had set cpu installed since i rooted my phone last week. today i was playing with the settings because my music was stuttering.. i thought it might be a underclockign problem so i changed the profile to "ondemand" it made the stuttering better and everything seemed fine. about 12 hours later i got home and was playing with the phone. i updated 3 programs in market and all of a sudden my phone would go to sleep and not wake up. had to do a battery pull. i uninstalled the 3 programs i updated but the problem kept going. just uninstalled setcpu. hopefully it resolves everything

The use of profiles is not recommended on Galaxy S phones. The developer of SetCPU actually does not recommend using any other governor than conservative, even though we've been able to make Interactive work on some kernels.

I'm running Baked Snack 1.3 and found it to be stable at 1.2ghz using OC Widget. With screen on I have it set to min 400 and max 1200. With screen off it's set to min 400 max 600.

I too am having this problem. No mater what rom or kernal I use. It seems as if Setcpu and Overclock widget sometimes cant read the frequencies and let the phone underclock to 19.2Mhz which is probably like trying to wake the dead!
I wonder if it has anything to do with the new Superuser.apk? it always seems like setcpu is trying to get permissions. Maybe, I dont really know. Can one of you really smart people look into this?
In the meantime the only profile that I have set is screen off Max 800 Min 400, maybe that will work?

same issues here. i'm running with my screen off at min 100 and a max of 800. If i change my max to anything lower, my phone won't wake up. I'm running the latest VIPERrom. I'm hearing some mixed feedback about this app so i would like hear your feedback.

What i've gathered over the last several months, is that SetCPU profiles are buggy with our phone. Its recommended not to use profiles.

I'm fairly certain that SetCPU should not be used without a custom kernel that allows for over/under clocking. If you're on the latest ViperROM then you are using a kernel that we have no source code for, therefore it doesn't support over/under clocking; rendering SetCPU useless and prone to cause problems.

My SetCPU is using conservative and I haven't had any problems so far. I am running BonsaiROM 1.14.

If you have it set to under 200 with the screen off it won't wake up after a while.

I've had the same problem on all builds and ROMs that I've used. The only constant through all the different setups I've used were Advanced Task Killer and SetCPU. I stopped using ATK (with auto-kill on screen off, I use EStaskmanager for manual killing when phone is on) and the problem seems to be mostly fixed. It does still happen once in a blue moon though, say once every day or two.

SetCPU: 100min/1200max
Screen off: 100min/200max

[Q] IS IT POSSIBLE?? pls help

I didnt want to root my phone HTC WILDFIRE because I am a little noob at these things a I thought I would totally destroy my phone.
But I found out that it is not so hard to root it as I thought, so today I succesfully rooted my phone. Than I wanted to overclock my procesor from 528 Mhz to I think 768 by downloading new kernel etc... Everything went good. I succesfully installed(or what, I said I am a little noob) that new kernel and was happy that my Wildfire will be faster.
But now I can see that my phone is lagging more, sometimes it freezes what i couldnt see before when It had original kernel.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?
Pls help

Do you have SetCPU installed? Then turn it a bit down, till 690~710 Mhz
Maxing it totally out can make your phone unstable. Think about it like a car, when it has 100 hp's and you tune it to 150 hp's things might break.
From stock 528 to 768 isn't a walk in the park, it's +45%

Yes I have setCPU and when I set my procesor to about 710 Mhz it lags and freezes. When I set it to about 580 it is doing the same. The only one solution of this I think is to reinstal the kernel.
Now I have 2.6.32.21-HCDRJacob-ga91 e 73b- [email protected] 1.
That is the full name of it. And in setcpu info it shows me before the version ( 2.6.32.21-HCDRJacob-ga91 e 73b- [email protected] 1) Linux versio... Maybe thats the problem???
And I have to find some solution as fast as possible because sometimes when somebody calls me I cant answer because of a biiiig lag. And then I cant do anything.
Thx for help

What id the minimum speed set to? I wouldn't go below 160. And my max is 672mhz.
Are you running different profiles or just the main profile in setCPU? Mine used to lag when i had a few profiles running but i have removed them all and only using the main profile and the lag has now gone.

when i went to wildpuzzle i found whatever speed i set my processor through set cpu it froze about 4-5 times a day. after flashing the kernel to remove overclocking it has not frozen in a week. everything really responsive, checking auto detect speeds with set cpu shows max 528mhz min450mhz

I tried many options and at last its OK. firstly I had a big difference between max and min of my procesor at setCPU, so I tried to set it to min about 630 and max about 700.
Now it is OK I dont know how, but I am happy the ****y problem is somehow solved and everytjing now goes very smoothly, thx u all

So what kernel did you flash it to?

Overclocking issue

Hi I`ve got SetCPU installed and flashed jacobs 0130 kernal so I can overclock my Wildfire.
Now I`ve got a small issue, I`ve set it at 710 max and 556 min settings and it seems to be running fine, but when the battery starts getting a bit low it causes it to freeze and have problems running some apps. I know its personal choice for how much it is overclocked but are there any recommended speeds for min and max settings to get it running well or is it just a question of experimenting until I get it to my liking?
I have searched the forums and everyone seem to have different preferences.
Thanks again Nexus04

I got random freezes using SetCPU too. I uninstalled and used OverclockWidget instead, havent had a single freeze since

Thanks I`ll have a look at that

why do you have your minimum setting overclocked? the slowest your phone can go even with screen off is 556, no wonder phone chucking a hissy fit
i'm running 691 max 245 min set on performance, not one freeze.
running wildpuzzle v.08

Thanks ephbee, thats made that clear for me, I was having a "DOH" moment there
