Has anyone else had issues with SetCPU when rooted?? I installed it and tried to setup my profiles like I had on my previous phone and in 2 hours my batterey went from 100% to 80% doing nothing at all. I have uninstalled the program but it seems like the battery suffered HORRIBLY after installing it.
Has any one else experienced this?

Where to begin....
I have had my wiz for about a year now (maybe longer) and everything was running fine. Nothing special installed really. I've Sim and CID unlocked, flashed to 1.1 and then flashed again to Mr. Frazzz's XDA Mobile 6 (awesome btw) and had been running that for quite some time with battery status as the only other thing I've really added.
One night I was out and managed to hit my touch screen on a table and it shattered. Things ran fine for a while (could still see considering the touch is seperate from the LCD) and managed to use it as a phone using shortcut keys. Then i started getting problems like slowing down etc and I figured it was partially due to the duress of a cracked touch screen making the phone think it was having a part of the screen pushed (or not there) so i finally had the screen, both the touch and lcd, replaced. Shortly after, I noticed the phone would freeze up randomly. (this is also about the time i switched from t-mobile to at&t prepaid) Sometimes it would do it 3 or 4 times a day and the only remedy is removing the battery. Sometimes it will go for over a week without any issues. Any ideas? Im ready to melt it.
Here's what I've done thus far with no results:
Reflashed to official t-mobile 2.26 and then flashed to Mr. Frazzz's WM6. I've re-installed battery status and then came across a thread stating that the latest version of which might be causing hangups....so i gimped it at first, using only settings I had known to work before with no issues and later uninstalled the whole thing. Still having the same problems.
I have the WM6 radio fix for cingular and 2.69.11 radio as well.
One thing I do notice is that, everytime i make a call and receive the system message stating what that call had cost me, it can cause weird things to happen if I was in the process of doing something else. Not sure that's part of the issue though considering the phone will just be sitting in my pocket when it does randomly freeze.
Is it possible that my mem card is just being jostled and causing issues? or that somehow the powerbutton is being adversely affected inside my pocket if the phone gets flipped upside down? Anyone and everyone's imput would be greatly appreciated, especially if Mr. Frazzz has any input. BTW, this has happened using both WM6r3 and r5 by Mr. Frazzz. I upgraded to r5 this last time i reinstalled WM6.
I'm guessing battery status is doing it. Same thing happended to me, did a hard reset, installed all my programs again excluding battery status and everything is fine.
Is there something else I can install that will overclock for me when the phone is active and kick down the speed when idle?
I also used battery status for the disable proxy thingie when wiFi is on.
Well...Overclocking is never safe and the manufacture of a cpu has clocked a cpu at a set speed. Why, because it is more stable. So anything past the stable speed will bound to be unstable. I overclock mine to 260 and still do not notice a boost so either you leave it at 195 and run smoothly or make it "faster" and have more issues. Your call.
I have had a rooted epic for a few months now and have been experiencing a lot of software difficulties recently. I am using Epic Experience Froyo, but I have switched to other roms and still experience the problems (which I have researched but have yet to find a cure). I have times where the screen will turn black and unresponsive, yet the capacitive buttons at the bottom are still lit up, and it will either restart the phone at the lock screen and regain signal or I will have to manually take the battery out. Sometimes I get the same issue except the screen just freezes. Other times (even if the phone is idle in my pocket) it will randomly reboot and I can feel it vibrating in my pocket. I have done many full factory resets w/oden. Everytime I get the problem it seems to gradually get more severe.
I would love for any input to work towards a solution.
Thanks,
Dylan.
Sounds exactly like the problems I was experiencing with my Evo. Do you overclock your phone by any chance? Or have you ever installed lagfix applications?
I overclocked once for about 2 days @ 1.2ghz, but then reverted to regular. For a long time I had Juice Defender installed.

Ok, so as far as juice defender is concerned, what are its performance characteristics? Did you ever use quadrant to see what it was putting up? I doubt the overclock for such a short period of time is what would've caused so many problems, but from my experiences, any of these add ons that take your quadrant and almost double it are usually ones that can cause some permanent damage on the phone. I used to run what was called Snap Turbo which was a performance tweaking apk attached to a linked kernal that used to go well with CM6. Well, turbo mode does exactly what ViperSpeed lag fix does. As soon as I started messing around with the Snap Turbo, that's when my screen used to become unresponsive, phone used to freeze, and I would get random reboots almost 10x per day. After I started experiencing these issues, I could never revert back to another Rom or even go back to stock without getting the same issues. I ended up getting rid of that Evo and getting another. As soon as I rooted my next one, random reboots started but not as frequently. Basically, I believe that rooting your phone is going to cause SOME issues. Constantly messing around with it will result in A LOT of issues. It's almost unavoidable and some folks are lucky enough to never experience any issues, but that's the risk you take if you want all the benefits that come with hacking the phone. I hope you find a setup on your phone that isn't so unreliable but I doubt there's anything you can do to completely fix it. I hope I'm wrong, though, because anything you do to fix those issues would be a great help to us all if we end up in the same boat in the future...God forbid!
Juice Defender mainly just altered settings with the wireless connectivity (Like stopping it from using wireless network when the phone is idle). I've also thought about this... I am using 3 different batteries, 1 is default battery, and the other 2 are of a cheap $10 ebay set.
hey guys...i was getting great battery life on di18 and dk28 but for the last week its sucked i loss on average 8-10% an hour (setCPU at 200-1000 ondemand and 200-200 sreen off) i have calibrated my battery twice and still no luck as soon as i take it off the charger it drops to 95% any thing else i can try? thanks for the help
FYI to anyone using SetCPU. I have discovered an issue with my ringer volume caused by running SetCPU. The issue is intermittent but quite annoying. Regardless of the volume of my ringtone the phone will either start out with a normal ring volume and get extremely loud or just start out as if you had the volume turned all the way up. I changed ringtones, turned off quiet ring on pickup, changed Kernels and even wiped and re-flashed ROMs. This was driving me crazy. I tried all kinds of volume apps to remedy the issue also to no avail. This is not ROM specific as it happened to me on Fresh, Evio, Elite, MikFroyo and Azrael. I don’t know if this happens with all Kernels but it did happen on HTC stock #15 and Netarchy 4.3.1 havs-nosbc. I do know this…..as soon as I removed SetCPU the issue immediately went away. I was not running any profiles in SetCPU. The strange thing is….on an AOSP ROM (Cyanogen/MIUI) this does not occur with SetCPU running. Has anyone else run into this? Hope this was helpful if anyone else has experienced this issue. Hopefully someone has a fix/workaround to this issue.
After going crazy with this issue that seemed to pop out of nowhere I decided to backup my crucial data from my sdcard and format it. I then did a full wipe (2x using Amon Ra 2.3) and flashed MikFroyo 4.5. I installed some basic apps (Weather Channel, Walgreens, Zynga Poker, Go SMS, Blacklist, Dr. Web). So far I have not had any volume issues (without SetCPU). I will install and test with SetCPU and provide feedback. Although I may just test out my battery life as is for now. Some of these tweaked ROM's and newer Kernels just about eliminate the need for SetCPU or Overclock widget (IMO). In other postings I've read they just cause issues negating the purpose of a HAVS Kernel altogether. We shall see.
I finally found others with this issue. Apparently this is a feature?? Anyone else heard of this? I suppose I didn't take notice that my phone only does this when in the belt case (sensors covered). Certainly there must be a way to disable this.

Man, I have a friend that has been having trouble with his volume control and we couldn't figure it out. He uses setCPU, and I don't... I think I better send a link to this post.
I've been running SetCPU on my Evo for 6 months with many different ROMs/kernels and I've never experienced this. Sounds to me like you have a volume, or music app/widget that's conflicting.

I thought so too. However, after a fresh flash of a ROM and installing SetCPU this issue starts. Really strange.
See changes in my first post. It's not SetCPU.
I've been having some pretty interesting reboots with my Atrix.. they are random, but usually have something to do with spotty service. Sometimes the phone will get really hot and this will cause a reboot, even if i have a temp profile set with setcpu. I honestly don't think the temp profiles work correctly with setcpu. I tried setting a screen off profile set to 456mhz also to maybe clock the processor down to prevent it from getting hot but it didn't help at all either.
I'm currently running Neutrino 2.2GT based on CM7 weekly #6,with faux's 023r kernal overclocked to 1300mhz not uv'ed at all and i'm running the 37p radio.
I've tried flashing a new kernal, full wipe/reflashing Neutrino multiple times, dunno if this is strictly a hardware issue with my phone but has anyone else experienced anything like this?
EDIT: i actually just ran speedtest.net and had a random reboot once during upload, and once during download. i also just changed my apn settings to the default ones posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22624940&mode=linear&styleid=16#post22624940
Pretty slight issues that I have noticed with my TF300 and wanted to see if othes were experiencing similar issues.
1- Experiencing lag while installing/updating apps?
2- When I try to check my battery usage statistics in settings, it says they are not available.
Anyone else noticed or experienced these 2 issues?
1- some people have mentioned this. some say it doesn't happen. I notice it, but it doesn't bug me too much. I believe the suggested fix for now is to try a cold boot or a factory reset and see what happens.
2- there is an entire thread dedicated to this here. try that.

I have heard about the lag while installing apps. Honestly I have only noticed it because I have been reading posts about it. I really dont think its that bad and doesnt seem out of the norm.
Battery usage stats not showing seems to be a very common prob with all 300 users. No one seems to have the real answer or fix.
