Overclock widget settings??? - Hero CDMA General

Ok I'm still kinda a noob so hear me out and try not to judge me. Thanks! Anyhow I have an HTC Hero CDMA through Cellular South. I am rooted and running CM 6.1. I have downloaded Overclock Widget from the market hoping to get a little more speed and battery life out of my phone. I have read to start the overclocking at 250 min and 768 max and if that don't work to keep changing it til you find that happy place. Well my problem is that any setting I put it on it acts fine for a few hours then it starts making my phone freeze. I know ever phone is different but I was woundering if everyone could share their settings with me and I will give them all a try. Maybe one of you have the setting I need. Thanks in advance!!!

Raise your min to the next step, 345, I believe. Leave max at 768. If you still get reboots, lower your max to 728. Keep dropping your max until you quit getting reboots. Personally, my phone can run at 768 just fine, and even higher, but like you said, not all can.

I would lower the Max before raising the Min in this case.

Sounds good to me. I'm just not a fan of 250 min. I feel it starves the device of needed processor speed when an app calls when the screen is off.

How hot do you run?

Currently at 102.2F as reported by setcpu widget while plugged in and using it for the past half hour or so. Seems kinda high to me, what's everyone elses experience?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Well when its plugged in it will be warmer than normal. Right now my phone has been on with constant texting and random other usage all day long and I am at 80.6 degrees
My phone stays in the mid 90s and early 100s with regular use. It only gets in the 80s if I leave it completely alone for an hour or so.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I stay mostly in the 80s and can get into the 90s with heavy use. Don't think I've ever passed 100, but there's a chance something like psx4droid could have pushed me up. I average about 86F.

Do you use the SetCPU profiles? You could set one to underclock the processor while charging.

I do, its set to 800mhz when charging. 600mhz if it gets above 104F regardless of charging or not. Leaving it alone on the charger for the last half hour the temp shows 92F. Just firing up Xda app and typing this out the temp has jumped to 98F in about a min of use.

Are you guys using SetCPU for profiles and overclocking, or are you just using it for checking temps and current speed?
These are the droids you are looking for.

I was using it to check temps for this but I use 2 profiles, which may help my temps (def helps my batt). The default profile is 1000 max, 300 min, on demand. The other is when my screen is shut off, 300 max, 300 min. I've found this has saved me a pretty sizeable chunk of battery. I tend to listed to music 7-8 hours a day and while it doesnt need full CPU it will use it if it gets the chance. Restricting the proc to 300 off has never caused any issues and I can get from 8am - 4 or 5pm staying over 70% battery I have the unstable apps overclock and used it for a while, but kinda came to the conclusion that I can't really justify needing to overclock yet as I never see any lag. I guess if I run into any lag at some point I'll prob clock back up to 1.3 or so.

I did overclock, but it ran way too hot, like 107F during normal use and didnt get below 100 dormant. 1gig is high enough to me. I have it set to underclock when charging or when below 50% battery or when above 104F.

Only other idea I have is downloading Droid Overclock and try running at low or ultra low voltage. Make sure to make a backup first. And try low before ultra low. Individual devices can be picky about a lower voltage and can go into a bootloop if it can't run on a lower voltage. Droid Overclock has profiles like SetCPU.

Acer A500 stuck on lockscreen

Went to use my tablet this morning and it was stuck on the lockscreen, it was completely un- responsive. I rebooted it by holding the power and volume down. It worked ... But only having this tablet for under a week, should i take it back , and is this a hardware issue? I'm running 3.1 on it, should I Exchange it? Or is there a fix?

Sounds like a rogue app.
Hmmm.... Could be? I'm an avid ROM flasher when it comes to my phone, my tablet I'm pretty much noob. I'll check that.. I was also thinking maybe the set cpu was too high?

[Solved with a future kernel update] SetCPU Faux Kernel 0.1.9

Am I doing something wrong? No matter what I do. I cannot get setcpu to cap at 1200Ghz, it always resets to 1300Ghz. No matter what rom I use it wont stay set. It always resets

Do you have the "set at boot" box checked off?
If so, under Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Performance do you have the CPU set at 1200 and have set at boot checked off?
DK
I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong, but I believe there may be a bug with SetCPU. You can try CPU Tuner or that other app which does the same thing to confirm.
In any event, you may be able to circumvent it by setting up a profile. Just an idea. Let us know how it goes!
Maybe a bad version of setcpu or oc kernel. I haven't had any issues but I'm on HomeBase and have setcpu limits on screen off 216/456 and battery <50 1000. Been working superb I must say.
I use CPU Master and haven't had any issues at all.
Sent from CM7 Pre-Beta 4 on Atrix 4G.
No problems with setCPU. Just check off "apply at boot"
Hmm,i have the same issue with stock 2.3.4, setCpu and both faux or kholks kernel,very weird, i will try profiles, later today.
Same here, I have mentioned it many times and actuallly thought I was the only one.
Sent from my Tab using a pigeon.
Ok, i just tried the profiles and still to no avail. Very weird and rather annoying
I've also mentioned this a few times and have since moved back to 0.1.7
Try wiping setCPU's data from the manage applications menu.
Nope, same thing happens. The interesting thing is that if I cap it at 800 MHz, it tops up at that. Any step higher and the cap doesn't work.

Very odd. You could also try wiping cache and dalvik if you haven't already.
Have you had this issue with any other ROMs?
I am more or less having the same issue. The annoying thing is that sometimes it would work but sooner or later, after a reboot, or changing the settings, it would go off again.
One thing that seeme to help is to set both slides to the min setting then just move one slide at a time, one click at a time and wait a few seconds between changes, till you get the settings you want... did not always work but it did more often then not.
I am going to try cpu master see if that does work for me.
Yeah it's weird. Whether it sticks or not seems totally random.
Hi, I'm on stock 2.3.4 and tried using CPU Tuner, it seems the kernel still won't act accordingly to the max cap I set.
Just like when I use SetCPU, even with the slider set max to 1000 and "Set on boot" ticked, it still jumps to 1300 sometimes.
So the problem could be with kernel, but I don't really know

This is my usual 8 to 9 hours from pulling it from the charger to getting home. Rarely do i have to swap batteries before i leave work (i have 3 batteries) but can usually make it home and toss it on the computer usb if i don't want to swap out my battery.

I CALL BS. No Way in Hell not even on Any platform will it be fine it will lag and be unresponsive at those low frequencies.
Make a video and put it on Youtube i want to see this if i UV as well it also decreases performance but gains battery life.
Not that I've tried it... but we all know the Epic is more than twice as fast as some devices that run Android. In that case, how would running it at 40% speed make it unusable?

Umm no thats wrong.
HTC EVO Shift 4G can be over-clocked to 1.9GHz from a stock 800 MHz: 110% OC
HTC Rezound can be overclocked to 1.99GHz from a stock 1.5GHz: 49-50% OC
Moto Droid X can be overclocked to 2GHz from a stock 1GHz: 100% OC
Theres plenty the Samsung Epic only has technically a 30% overclock and virtually a 50% overclock
But theres plenty of other phones with more over-clockability
I run 100/200/400/800/1000/1200 all stock. Its what samsung intended the hummingbird for (our processors were designed to go 1.2ghz iirc)

Well because our phones are 1.2GHz Stock but they lowered to 1GHz because that was the margin in 2010 for high end devices but they Under Clocked to save some battery. So technically we only came up with a 30% OC (1500MHz).

That will not show us how it performs I.E Lag. That will scroll smoothly and will stutter. running 400Mhz on max is still to low for no lag at all.

And it won't show if it lags which it seriously doesn't at allllll but if I've been using only 100, 200, and 400 mhz for the past 6 or 7 hours or longer then u know its not lagging cuz why would I put up with a day using my phone lagging everywhere just to prove something like this to you..

Yes many people have reported of the phone getting a little hot. i think you should just choose on set of freq like 1 / 1.2 Ghz and 368 Mhz. Set the Wifi to off when screen in Off. The phone should be fine. too much heat is neither good for the phone nor foe the battery.
Once had the same problem.
