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.

Samsung lock-screen kind of problem

Im having some issues with my vibrant and since today, everytime I lock the screen, then i try to unlock it, it stays black and nothing comes up or anything i just can seem to unlock it without holding the power button which causes the vibrant to restart. is anyone having this problem? Any solution to it other than formating maybe? Its rooted and I have a lag fix on it.

I'm assuming you've rebooted?

no i didnt. i didnt try to do that because i didnt want to lose everything. i was hoping its some app and i tried uninstalling some apps but still got the same problem. It keeps happing to me everytime since earlier today. you think that would work?

I thought the same thing.

Ok. Something must be in the air. Exact same thing happening to me today.
Each time the screen times out the phone becomes unresponsive. Blank screen, soft keys don't light up. If I hold the power button too long it just reboots.

Set CPU

Ya know what, as soon as I posted the details on my phones configuration it dawned on me that it could be a setcpu problem... Looking into it.

Set CPU was my problem. When I looked at the min/max they were both set at 19 out something ridiculously low like that. NO MORE SET ON BOOT!

I bought SetCPU but have not installed it on the Galaxy... I really don't see the point right now unless you want to underclock, and yes, it has been reported (perhaps fixed now?) that set on boot could cause issues.
I would just uninstall till we have a kernel we can OC.
OP, what would you lose by rebooting? Yes... I do believe that would work (and uninstalling SetCPU if you have it or change the aforementioned)

Set CPU profiles cause the phone to reboot and or freeze. See this thread forum.xda-developerscom/showthread.php?p=7808723#post 7808723

lagginess
Just to clear the setcpu is useless without a proper kernel i had it everything bogged down badly like reported went down to 19 from 10000. I would just take off the setcpu and wait for a kernel my phone def sped up after but thats my own experience.

[Q] G2 screen sometimes won't turn on

I have a T-Mobile G2 that's been rooted and flashed several times (cm6, virtuous, supervillainz, senseginger, cm7) and through I think all of them I noticed an issue with coming out of sleep where the screen doesn't turn on
it still reacts to touch (ie I can slide to unlock), and the bototm touch keys light up, but there's no backlight or picture on the actual screen
sometimes it takes several off-on cycles to get it to work... I've recently noticed (and may be just imagining it) that the trackpad wakes it up with a much better success rate
details:
HTC Vision (G2)
Android 2.3.3
Baseband 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel 2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod-g58d929e [email protected] #1
CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC2-vision
any ideas would be welcome before I lose it and start poking at the kernel, radio and whatnot
thanks,
L

happens to me in virtuous, never happened to me on CM (i havent tried cm7 yet)
i believe its a problem with the cpu scaling, ie when the screen is off, processor drops to 245mhz and when the screen turns on, speed doesnt scale up fast enough
i usually underclock my g2 to 599mhz (governer set to on demand) but if i go any lower than that, getting the screen to come on becomes a frustrating project lol

I have the same problem, its so annoying especially when someone calls. Its been mentioned in other threads and I'm sure its a known problem but like u I need a fix. Stock ain't so bad as long as u can see who's calling and what time it is without trying to wake the phone 20 times. Please will someone finally answer this question? Or do we all need to revert to cm 6.1 or stock????? Small problem but big outcry.

thanks, I downclock to 200mhz on screen off
I'll up it and see if it makes a difference

Are you using the screen off animations in CM7?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

screen off yes, screen on no

Try disabling the animations all together and see if it helps. Also are you OC'd above around 1.2ghz?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

I've disabled them for now, gonna see if it helps...
yeah OC to 1516MHz, do you think this affects it?

There was a known issue with CM7 not too long ago where if you had the screen off/on animations activated in conjunction with being OC'd at around 1.2 or above it would cause the sleep wake issues. Took 3 or 4 on/off cycles with the sleep button on order to get the screen to come back on.
The solution was either to disable the screen animations or not to OC very high.
The other remedy recommended earlier is also legit. Set your screen off CPU profile to around 300 or 400mhz. Your problem should be solved by tinkering with all 3 variables. Failing that I would recommend a wipe/reflash and/or hitting up some folks in the CM7 thread to see if anyone else has that issue after tinkering with the above solutions.
Good luck man, I know those little bugs can be frustrating.

thanks for the tips...
I've now upped the minimum clock to 400 across all profiles and turned off the screen off animation... if that doesn't do it, I'll turn down the maximum clock, and if that still fails disable setcpu completely
I will report back any findings

I see you have a strange problem.
I use 275mhz when sccreen is off and about 476 mhz when screen is on and nothing like this has happened to me.

Seems like nature of the beast. I get it too. Are yall using setcpu? I think its an issue with it. U might try cputuner and see what happens. But it rarely happens now that i set my setcpu to conservative or smartass.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

this is indeed an issue with downclocking the phone on screen off profile... as soon as I set the screen off profile to anything below the stock 806 mhz, the issue appears
I've reenabled both screen off and on animations, the issue still hasn't reappeared... so it's the downclock :/

I have seen it on Sense ROMs but not CM7, doesn't clocking your phone at 800 when display off eat up a lot of battery also?

I am, unfortunately, not that techno-savvy when it comes to cellphones. But I am having the same problem.
The most I get is a bit of back light, but everything else about the phone seems to be working. Is there anyone who could possibly help me figure out how the hell to fix this?

Screen issues

Is there anything I can get for the screen to work at all times? Sometimes the screen wont respond to my touch and its annoying...Is there anything to fix this?

Do you notice this at any specific times? Not necessarily times of the day, but after using a specific app, before using one, when turning the on screen, etc?

No it actually happend after a reboot...it happens often maybe its the ROM?

I had this problem, but it was due to the fact that I had SetCPU running and set my screen off profile to 128Mhz. So obviously, when I would turn on my phone, the screen would turn on after a small delay. I since bumped it up.

Yeah this could definitely be it. You generally don't want to run the Evo below 245.

Where is the screen off section? I am on ISC mode 7...phone seems a little laggy & still doesnt respond at times when touching the screen... I just installed the savage zen kernel 2.2.1 CFS HAVS+ running smartass governor & seem to be getting better battery life over the stock kernel.

[Q] need help

ok i got a refushbished hd2 from best buy the third one and it seems to work well this tim the first one would overheat then the next wifi wouldnt work now this third one i have the Dorimax rom on there a really awesome rom but after some non use of the phone it doesnt respond the screen doesnt respond and then i take out battery restart and screen will not work and after a few hours the screen will work again and theres no over heating over anything works prefect but screen sometimes doesnt wanna work any ideas?

Try adjusting the CPU governor settings. I've had better luck on smartass, smartass2, interactivex with no more freezing, make sure your min CPU setting is at least 245mhz. Cm settings/performance/cpu

how you had this issue before?

sorry to say but well i did it i did a full wipe and a clean install and adjusted my cpu it looked like it was working and then it happened again and i dont think its a freeze issue i think its the lcd/digitalizer because it can reboot and the screen will still not work but ill vibrate the same way it reboots
