Just a thread to see what people are setting their CPU speeds/governors at.
When I first opened the app stock seems to be
Min: 1026
Max: 1512
Gov: On Demand
All I have done so far is lower min to 594 because I felt 1026 is too high.

I set my min to 486. I also set up a screen off profile for 384-594. Gonna see what kind of battery life I get.

Setcpu is messed up, try using moguls to check default values, and make sure you clears all data on setcpu before if you're gonna try to.

The default kernel won't let you change the min. You can try, but it goes back.
We need a new kernel to lower the minimum freq

I am using No-Frills CPU Control and it is keeping the minimum freq change ( unless the app isn't able to read the CPU freq correctly).

Nope, it says requested frequencies or something like that where you changed it, but the actual ones are on the left, and they are still the default.
We need a modded kernel. Anyone know of someone that can do that?

How do you know they are not chging in No Frills if it says it is?? If you reboot and it sticks, it's working.

On the left it is saying my min and max freq is 1.5ghz, so I don't think that is right. When I check the report of the last 5 seconds it says its on 486mhz 90% of the time (486 is my set min freq).
Edit: Actually on the left it now says min is 486 and max is 1500, so hopefully it is working correctly.
Mine seems to be working with setcpu also

Tablet cpu monitor is what I use. It puts the frequency in the notification bar. Maybe that will clear things up for you guys..

Guess I could be wrong, did you reboot to get it to stick? I could not get mine to stay.
Also, curious what the voltage is at the lower frequencies. I wonder if they are the same the lower you go and therefore samsung didn't lower it past 1026.
Can anyone see what the default voltages are set to?

What version on SetCpu are you using?? I think you need to be atleast in the 3X versions to get it to work right.
I can't seem to set the Max to 1.5ghz it only set the max to 1.0ghz. I think SetCPU still not supporting the S4.
Just used SetCPU to set max to 1512 and min to 384, with different profiles, restarted...and it seems to stick.

yup! the slider sticks but look at the print just above the slider; mine still says 1024 even though the slider is at 1512 max. I don't think setcpu supports snapdragon S4 yet.

Not sure what's wrong with yours. I've had mine set at 486 - 1512 since I rooted. I've rebooted several times and it stays at my settings. Yes, even the print above the settings.

i have mine running at max all the time works great
i have mine at min -528 max -528 when the screen is on
when screen is off i got it at min - 128 max - 245
thing is i found that i can make the min even lower and the max up to 998
i wanna know the highest i can set it to so i can get full performance

so overclocking works now that we have the kernal then ?? cuase it wouldnt work without the kernal before right ?

im not sure if im doin it correctly
but i was just goin through the settings on overclock widget and went to advanced settings and went to "click here to define" and it has all frequencies from 19200 - 998400 you just gotta check them in order to use them
Yeah, with our pre-source kernel, overclocking is not possibly because dynamic clocking is enabled in the kernel, so it automatically adjusts the clockrate.

So basically the Overclocking Widget is useless until we get a ROM with the new kernel source? Oh well, won't be long.

did you change any of the other settings like he did? do ya have "set on boot" checked or unchecked? how stable is it? I can only be mildly adventurous due to my phone being the only way I can get online when I'm in my 18-wheeler
Some other forum members seem to have reboot and lockup issues with 844mhz but I don't. For a long trip I would keep it at 806mhz if you're unsure and it's untested. Not every phone is the same.
I use the Overclock Widget and set it to:
Auto Start on boot - No
Screen on Min, Max 844
Screen off Min, Max 245
Differ Freq Screen Off - Yes
Is it safe to install SetCPU on the MyTouch4G now that we have permaroot? If so, what are the settings we should use with it? Just not sure if the current kernel has been tested with SetCPU or not, and if it works what version of SetCPU... 2.0.3 or 2.0.4?
Thanks.
I am running 2.0 4 with autodetect. Set at 1024mhz performance. No issues and been running 3 days now.

The closest options for this are the following:
368640 max
245760 min
What did you use for the scaling and priority settings?
EDIT - Added a screenshot to this post. I've tried both 2.0.3 and 2.0.4, and no matter what I set for the minimum setting it stays at 245 (not what I defined). Does it not work then on this stock kernel?
I was going to say the same thing, from what I have seen on my phone setcpu is not doing anything. It won't change any of the clock speeds whether boosting the low end or limiting the high end.
I have tried a few things like setting profiles for less than 75% battery to lower the max clock speed and that doesn't work either. Am I crazy or are others experiencing a placebo effect on profiles lowering clock speed when screen is off?

For HTC phones need to be rooted and also disable perflock. In setcpu: menu->perflock disabler. I set my perflock to disable on boot.

Hot damn, that fixed it! Now to test it out further to see how well it works here. I'm not looking to overclock, just underclock when I'm not using the phone. Thanks for the tip!

Just an average power-user. I email and text a lot as I own a consulting business. I am constantly on the go and need my battery to stretch as long as possible.
That is why I kept the stock kernel and didn't over-clock. I simply removed all the bloatware and non-essential apk's that I didn't need and set up a few profiles in SetCPU and now I can get an easy 2 days of power use out of it.
As I still employ the stock kernel and stock ROM I have no lag what-so-ever. Response is perfect IMHO.

SO I am new to this... I used your same settings and my bat shows 56%. On the my screen it still shows that its jumping from 1024-245. Am I missing something?
EDIT: N/M I am just dumb and forgot to preflock!
So I set my profile to have
Screen Off Pri 75 Max 3K Min 2K
Bat 75% Pri 50 Max 7K Min 2K
Bat 50% Pri 50 Max 3K Mn 2K
I will let you know how it goes but I am hoping for some good bust in bat life.
Had some issues when waking the phone, so I changed the settings on the screen off to Max 768. Going to test.
I also moved the 50 Bat to 30 and still getting good life out of it.
Well I have been experimenting with some profiles in setcpu and I have noticed a great increase in battery life especially when in standby a lot.
So i have done this according to what works for everyone else. But... my battery still drops from 100 down to 40 in about 5hours and it has been this way since the 2.2.1 smh. I dont kno what to do. I do text alot and get on facebook mobile semi frequently but mainly text and omg the phone gets up to 104 degreez wen using or charging. Any suggestions ? Or anythjng i may be doing wrong

As per the title, I have started experiencing random system lockups since yesterday. I have had to perform two battery pulls and I'm starting to worry that my ext partition won't be so lucky next time...
I have no idea what is causing the lockups, though both have occurred while using Swype. Coincidence?
For now I'm going to set my system clock back to 600Mhz and use the default input method for a while and see if I still get lockups, at which point I will probably flash another ROM unless I can find a solution, which is where you guys (hopefully) come in. Is there anything else I can do to diagnose and/or solve the problem?
- Typed from my rooted HTC Legend -
It's most likely the OC that's causing the problem, Swpye shouldn't affect the stability. Unless it's a cracked version
Try interactive governor or flash latest kernel from the other thread.

That's peculiar, as I've had the processor on 768Mhz for a while now and I've had no problems at all before now.
As for Swype... it could be. ;P

It manages when the processor speeds up. It doesn;t run at 768MHz all the time, that's just the highest you allow. Ondemand scales the frequency up when it's needed, and lowers it again afterward. It seems to be a little bugged in our kernels though, and causes crashes.
Interactive does a similar thing, but without polling the CPU. It also ramps the frequency up a little more quickly. I use it, it makes the phone more responsive (IMO), and also eliminates the need for profiles in setCPU (to a degree)
Just checked my kernel version - I already have the latest version (2.6.32.17). I've also set the governor to interactive as suggested, but I have pushed the max clock back to 768Mhz and the min clock to 122Mhz.
While we're here, is there any way to push the min clock down even lower, or would that require fiddling with the kernel? In which case, I have two questions:
1. blay0, I've heard people who can push their min clock down to something ridiculous like 19Mhz if I recall correctly, which makes battery life last a crazy amount of time. Could you include that as the minimum clock in the next kernel for b 0.8?
2. If not, how do I go about changing it myself?
I want to learn.

You'd have to mess around with kernel source code. I wouldn't know where to begin, sorry

That did cross my mind but other users have reported success with it, so I figured I might as well give it some investigation.
I had mine go to 19 min with screen off once, it did my head in. Maybe interactive with a reasonable upper limit with screen off (like 400) would work, who knows

Maybe not quite 19Mhz, then.
Perhaps we should do some testing to see how much processing power is needed to wake the phone quickly? Is there any way to test that?
Back on topic, I just had another lockup while using the interactive governor. This time I froze up while loading Fruit Ninja.
Now I'm at a total loss for what could be causing the lockups.

Seeing as nobody can seem to pin-point the problem, I'm moving to CM7 permanently as soon as it's released as stable.
how to save battery life when using setcpu?
same that:
Firstly, this is the Android Development Section, so, you have posted this in the wrong section.
Anyway, to the topic, I just watched the video. I don't quite get what the problem is. What part of the video are you unable to follow? You can keep it at the same levels depicted in the video, but, a few of my suggestions:
* Min at 691 is too much. Keep min at 245, it will save battery even when screen is on
* Screen off values are too low. In my personal experience, if it is kept so low, the phone hangs when an incoming call arrives. So, after much experimenting, I have seen that keep the min value at 245. Anything below that can hang the phone. (Obviously many people do get it working fine at 160 MHz, but, this is my personal experience with my Wildfire)
As for the settings under the "Advanced" Tab, I am not having that many settings in my version of SetCPU, so cant really comment on that.

I'm quite rookie on this with cpu and stuff. But, I've read somewhere that the "perfomance" makes that its always running on the max Mhz. So whats the point of having the min on 245 then?

As far as I know you're correct and performance will simply cause the cpu to run at the max speed, the same as setting min and max the same (except its meant to be slightly better than that as it doesn't bother spending cpu cycles figuring out if it should drop the cpu speed to the min)
