[Q] Serious battery drain problem. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm on stock rooted ROM with the latest Adam Kernel by Wanam. I used greenify to hibernate most of my apps including Maps and Google+. But right now, my phone battery drains a lot. I know that the "sh" are causing it, but i don't know what is that "sh" is. Any help?

Bump?

I believe this is something to do with Titanium Backup. Is it running in the background? If you have it installed remove it and see if the issue disappears.

i tried googling it and like said earlier it seems to be something to do with titanium backup. check you this thread with some1 who had a similar problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781998

Thanks, i will try to look for it.

I got it solved by uninstalling Superuser and reinstalled SuperSU which comes on the first root.

Overclocking the Mali GPU

So guys,waiting for my GS2 to arrive tomorrow and it's time for the hundred bucks question:
Will we be able to overclock the Mali GPU in the GS2 like the SGX540 in the original GS was?Imagine the performance of this thing with an overclocked GPU!
And before you ask,no,its stock power isn't enough for me.As long as I can get more out of it that is.I will probably have it running at 1.5GHz everyday,so I'm not the kind of guy who will "proceed with caution"!
Thanks!All feedback welcome!

I've got my CPU underclocked to 500 MHz and honestly can't tell the difference between 1.2 GHz and 500 MHz...
I even gave my phone to a colleague who has one too, and he was using it without a thought. He indeed asked me why mine was faster than his... xD
So not a clue if you can OC the GPU, but I've yet to see a single reason to OC this phone.

Well,power corrupts my friend!And with a phone so powerful I can't help it!
Seriously though,it is nice if something like this is possible.See the original GS.The overclock of its GPU puts it against most dual core phones easily and it even bests some of them.Not likely something everyone will need in their everyday lives but you never know what the future holds!Maybe we will rival the Kal-El(Not likely I think but let's hope)!
Happy to see you here by the way pulser.It's really an honour!

I have almost the same experience here, except I could see a difference between 500 and 800 Mhz, but anything above 800Mhz almost didn't change anything. Which proves that the CPU is not the bottleneck, so we should try to overclock the GPU

ALMOST in my mind.Almost.My CPU for one will be a 1.5GHz one!Or even more!
Well,since pulser gave attention to the thread I am a little confident it might even be followed by some devs at some time(or that someone works on it at least),so I want to ask these two regarding the lack of texture compression formats issue:
1)Does anyone know whether Chainfire intends to make any plugins for Chainfire3D himself?While the available plugins do the job for some games,they don't for some others.So,I think Chainfire is our guy on this!
2)Is the issue hardware or software related?If it is software,what are the odds that Samsung or ARM provide a driver with support for all texture compression formats?I don't think that's likely to happen but,oh well,we can always hope for it!

It's definitely hardware related. Mali doesn't support Nvidia's, PowerVR's or Adreno's proprietary texture compression formats.
I think the gpu get overclocked with the cpu or at least that's how it was on the s1.

I think it was seperately overclocked with a special kernel on the GS...I could be wrong but I doubt this as it had made me feel very jealous that it wasn't possible with my Desire.

no, CF3D is a work around this VERY hardware "issue"
there can be other hardware things that aren't compatible however.
wait isn't the Mail 400 GPU a quad-core? I've been hearing that it is but Samsung have disabled 2 cores to a dual core GPU.

I think with dual-core they are referring to the CPU only.The GPU must have remained quad-core.Else how would it pit against the octa-core GeForce of the Tegra?

omg i got 5000 (4951) score in quadrant overclock 1.6 ghz 1400 mv
With tegrak kernel and tegrak OC utility you can OC GPU, normally it idles at 160MHz and under load clocks to 267 MHz, max OC is 400MHz but phone gets really hot.
mine is stock. when the i play f&f 5 the battery would reach 10% in 2 hours!! so my guess is that oc the GPU would cause a huge drain for the battery

It's stable and provides great performance. Although I'm using Ninphetamine right now. Can't use Tegrak oc with nin though. Only setcpu. Nin is oc to1.6 ghz. Tegrak is oc to 1.45GHZ.
EDIT: Just switched back to Tegrak kernel. Manual oc to 2.0 GHZ..Using Tegrak Oc. Stable.

cpu z core 3 and 4 stopped

I checked my cpu state in cpu z and I see that only core 1 and 2 are active. Core 3 and 4 are stopped. Nexus is quadcore so.why those cores are not working? Whatis the meaning of using 2 cores only when you have a quadcore installed in? I checked in some other applications too and it is.the same. It seeams that 2 cores are never used. How can I activate it? I am on miui 3.9.20 kernel franco 165 and android 4.2.2. Cpu overclocking works well.

Two words: custom kernel
If you do something intensive with your phone, it will use all cores. Why would you need 4 cores for UI anyway, Franco did a great job with his kernel.

If all your 4 cores were running even when doing nothing or just texting etc, your battery would be dead in a short time.
It activates all cores when playing games etc but stops cores when you don't need it to save battery.

I realize this is a very old thread but I'm having this very same issue on my Nexus 6. I checked both with Stock Android and LineageOS, both have 2 cores at random stop which makes the phone laggy. In both cases with full battery and me starting apps that require 4 cores. Restarting the phone will bring all 4 cores back.

Ita possible disable cluster commands?

I just bought a s4 i9500 and I really hate the "s lag". I think disabling the cluster Qual Core A15, will lag free, something like trick the kernel to run always in light tasks and the power cores 1.6GHz wont activates ever. Dumb Question? yeah, maybe.
Edit: Using only Quadcore 1.2GHz will be efficient too.

yes,you can..with root and right kernel...but it'll kill the purpose for having quadcore chipset right?
i've been using for play games,it can last about 3 hours if i play directly.
there's no point to disable A15 because it wont activate if you run light task.

[Q] How to overclock Adreno 330 GPU?

​ Hi. It has been 2 years (if I am not mistaken) since Note 3 came out. I haven't seen any app or editors that can do such thing in the title. I am using Note 3 SM-N9005 LTE Lollipop Rooted with TWRP, custom kernel (AEL 2.88GHz oc). I just want to OC my GPU from 450 MHz to 550 MHz like the Note 4. I tried customizing the gpuclk and max_gpuclk from system file from 45000000 to echo 55000000 but still no luck because it will revert back to default clock. Please help and suggest any way but I don't want to buy a new phone.

does it make sense to overclock the gpu to 550?what is to slow that you want to do that;the stock note 3 works properly as it is..so what?Use it!
sry for bad engl....
best regards:angel:
I think you will end up killing it if you overclock that high. It is not the same chipset as the Note 4 (which uses adreno 420- can be clocked to 600).
Not to mention you won't really see a difference other than heat-up and burn issue lol (or maybe you're really an Apple user trying to fudge things up lol).
My understanding is you need a rom that has overclocking features (rom+kernel). Can try this one:

Sorry for this because I am new and I don't know much about oc. I saw a kernel (dont remember its name) with a gpu overclocked to 587 MHz. It is for lollipop but the download link is down. Thanks for the ROM one. The purpose of me overclocking my gpu is that my game (Infinite flight simulator) lagging when I connect to multiplayer and it is same to World of Tanks Blitz. Thanks again for helping.
(P.S : My CPU overclocked to 2.88 GHz)

Hi,
It's passing around one year from the last post; however, I am wondering if you have manged to overclock adreno 330? Mine also lags a little in WOT which I think a small overclock would be beneficial.
Also since I use snote I am not interested in changing to a custom rom. Is it possible to overclock by just rooting?
Thanks

Hello guys,
Recently purchased a nexus 6p. Doesn't it have 2.0 ghz core? Why does CPU spy shows max till 1.5 ghz only? Any ideas?
