Underclocking Problems

Currently running VillainROM 10.3.0 (with Sense UI)
Does anyone get problems regularly on the slightest of underclocking (using SetCPU)?
Min at 245:
- Alarm wont turn off (only snoozes)
- Clock on Lock screen wont update
Min at 128:
- Music player becomes stuttery, took a few minutes for screen to power on to turn off music
Noone else seems to have mentioned it ?
Am I doing something wrong?
And its a bit worrying considering so many custom ROMs come pre-clocked.

Totally a hardware issue. Your phone just can't cope with the lower speeds. Not all can.
Mine will do 19mhz on sleep and wake immediately etc. but most others won't
Villainrom should default to the stock settings unless you install something like setcpu and define oc settings.
Not sure about other roms but I guess they do similar unless otherwise stated.

ah cheers.
i knew that some phones couldnt reach a particular Max clock speed, but didnt know it was a similar case with the Min clock speed too

You should try Cronos Droid. I am having the exact same problem as you on all OC'ed 2.1 roms, except Cronos Droid.
My settings on Cronos:
Screen on: 710 mhz
Screen off: 160 mhz

SET CPU problems with root?

Aside from being able to Wirelessly Tether my 3G connection from my Vibrant, I wanted to also control my CPU speeds. But with SET CPU, I tend to come across a particular problem. I would underclock to 100000 (min&max) with the screen off, but as a result, the screen won't turn back on and I would have to take the battery off and restart my phone. Clocking it to 400000 (both min and max) screen off leads to the same problem. Is anyone else going through the same situation? If not, what are you setting your CPU to, in regards to both screen on and off?

I have it set to 400MHz max/100MHz min for screen off, and it wakes up just fine so far.
What is your Governor setting? I was told to put it in "Conservative" for Vibrant.

Yeah I have all my profiles set to conservative. Do you guys think it has to do with the priorities, cause I have all of them set to 100.

It could, since there is no telling how to prioritize the settings, hardware/software might get confused.

you know I just noticed I got the same issue, sort of.
I have multiple profiles setup, and one is for charging via USB 800max/100min.
If the screen is off (400max/100min), and I connect the USB cable, guess what happens, three finger salute gets it back, hmmm.

OK I got it working for those who are having the same problem as I. All I did was I made my screen off frequency 200max/100min. For both charging and battery use, I have my cpu set at 1000max/800 min. It works flawlessly and I am noticing an increaSe in battery life...

OverClock?
I used SET CPU on my G1 and really loved the new life it gave my old hardware. I would like to open it up and see what my Sammy Vibe can really do. Is there a way to get some real OVER clocking?
Battery life is really not an issue for me so far.

we need a kernel that will enable it. its apparently not possible on the stock kernel...

I have been having the exact same freezing issue when the screen times out, I'm unable to revive the phone without pulling the battery. I have tried many different setting in Setcpu including those posted here. I finally just uninstalled it and everythings right again. Best to avoid this app for now.

Hey man i did that and i still did not work any other way to set it up.

Vibrant wont come out of Blank Screen
I used Set CPU and put it to the max 1000 and then the max on the other readings it forced closed and after the tmobile and Galaxy animations it goes to a blank screen.

Yeah, I uninstalled it after a week because it was just too unstable. I was getting freezes several times a day, which is unacceptable. Other people might have better luck, but my phone did not like it at all.

So far the only way I can get the program to work 100% is to not have any screen off profile. If I just set it to 1200 max - 200 min / conservative it works fine. Yet once I use profiles and screen off at 100, 200 or 400 it won't turn back on. Every morning it's the same thing, battery pull.

I have similar problem. As long as I am not using "Profiles" at all it is fine. Playing with profiles setting for a while, but not being able to make them 100% stable.
Another thing, if your screen does not come on, you don't have to pull the battery out. Just keep holding on/off button for 5-7 seconds, it'll reboot. It's not a complete freeze, I believe only display system (whatever it is) fails.

Stuck at Recovery Mode
Guyz,
I have firetrap sugar on Spice Mi300. Installed Set CPU.
Tried entering the recovery mode, the phone gets stuck at 1st screen with a line "Enter recovery Mode" displayed on top.
Please help.

[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

Cm7 - Minimum Cpu Settings experience

Hello together,
after i used Cm7.1 for some days with the CPU-Settings
(352-652 Smartass), i recognized that my phone sometimes is a little bit laggy. For example when i suddenly pull down the statusbar,when i open system from lockscreen, when mail arrives and are displayed in status bar. Its not lagging per se, but sometimes it does.
So i changed the lower value to 528 and the phone is much more responsive for me. Because i read in some threads here that people found Gingerbread Cm7 a little bit laggy, maybe that could be a solution for this issue.
Anybody made the same experience with the lower Cpu-settings?

nope. I'm running smartass on 245/710 and the only downside of the lower bound is that it takes a small fraction of a second until the lockscreen is present and (i assume) at 710 mhz. But that doesn't bother me.
I have to check if my incoming calls are delayed though, but no problem so far
(The wildfire will always be laggy sometimes imo, got to live with that )

Ive noticed the lockscreen-delay too, but with a higher cpumin its gone.The incoming calls were not much delayed for me at cpumin:342, ive checked it
10 times and it was always around 800-1500 miliseconds between the reaction of my wildfire and hearing the ringtone of the calling phone.
My problem was the initial lag when starting to do things, as im using the phone not for gaming .....mostly for sms,phoning,navigation and a lot of mailing i just want to have short reaction time get into mail menue and so on.....and this, i found for me, is much better with a higher minimum CPU frequency.
