a quick question. after installing battery status. i notice it also shows the cpu status. currently i am running PK's excellent PK1 rom. the information i get is:
cpu = 312 mhz
battery = between 190mA to 700mA depending on what i turn on.
is this normal??
i thought we are running a 624 mhz rite? so why is it 312 mhz (or half of what the cpu speed)?
thanks for your help!!
It's a known bug in batterystatus, check their website and it's mentioned in the faq.
LOL 312 * 2 = 624 Mhz !!!
it's a dual Core CPU ????

Battery status has a maximum of showing the CPU speed and thats at 312 MHz and when u install it on devices greater then 312 MHz then it will show just 312 MHz !!!! it sfault of the software u are using !!!
ha.i c. thanks for the update. for a moment.. i was raking my mind what happend to the other 312 mhz too.
another comment.. what is the so called "normal" battery consumption? as mentioned, i am running PK's excellent PK1 rom, bluetooth 100% of the time. i use it like a phone.. a little bit of notes writing.. i am getting between 200 - 500 mA. is that normal?

"Normal" is a broad term here. It depends most on the brightness of the LCD and what hw modules you have switched on and used. It also depends on the radio ROM, some of them increase power usage quite dramatically, there are fixes available in PK2 thread if you suspect it's affecting you, although I don't think so at 200mA.
Normal for ME - ie 80% brightness, GPS on, GPRS on, GSM on, GPS software running and reading maps from HD I would expect something floating around 750-1100mA.
With max brightness the Ameo will discharge even when connected to a weak USB power, like some low-amperage car adapters. It did happen to me once.
When you say you have usage of around 200-500mA it means it's rather low, probably most modules inactive (GPS, WiFi, 3G, BT etc.) and brightness in a decent range.
Unfortunately our Athena is rather energy-hungry in real life use. I have to charge her nightly and even sometimes I'm forced to charge from car/laptop when having longer support sessions on RDP+WiFi/3G.
Then again it's just physics and arithmetics, you can't expect such a monster of a screen to run on 1mA. Not as long as you want it lit.

no actually it's a fault as above person said , ip posted this question in thier thread on this board and got a reply look around their thread as i can't recall the post number at moment.
but I know that it reports 100% correct on my HTC Hermes ( Vario II ) and my HTC Universal ( Mda Pro ) as well as even my really old HTC BlueAngel ( M2000 )
so it's more likely just not supporting the newer chip

ok this is wierd...i usually check my clock speed with TCPMP, and at first when i got this device, it said 400 like its supposed to, now i installed batterystatus( just for the battery status, not overclocking) and left it alone...i checked my clock speed, and it says its at 474 MHZ!!!! anyone else notice this?

What version of batterystatus?
I've try a weeks ago, and suppoprt for overclock was disabled (and can't actiovate) cause batterystatus dosn't support the TyTN processor.
Regards.

agreed, its not supposed to support it, the option is also disabled, but it automatically does it, batterystatus shows its clocked at 400mhz, but tcpmp shows 474...im using batterystatusExt 1.04 beta

Same version i tested before.... so TCPMP perhaps gives a bad Mhz value.
Think the TyTN processor can change the clock frecuency when has more work to do, so probably TCPMP gives the higest value for TyTN (i'm not sure in this).
as i know, no overclock soft for Hermes is working today.
PD: Coming from Wizard too, and love baterystatus...very ussefull soft.
yeah that is possible...too bad batterystatus doesn't give exact percentage of battery instead it does the 10% increments
That's actually the case with all battery indicator software for the Hermes.

yeah i know =( hopefully there will be a solution to this madness
in the meantime... heres an update on the overclock situation...i left my device on standby and idle for 30 min, and now its clocked at 100 mhz, i had no idea that the cpu fluctuates its clock speed depending on how heavily the cpu is being used...very impressive
hmm I think if you want to be sure, if CPU is really overclocked you must do some benchmarks, and compare results...
Yeah can you do some benchmarks with say TCPMP or even SKTools to verify there is actually a difference. XCPUScalar would also report the higher MHz speed but in actuality there was no difference.
installed Batterystatus. did benchmark with Sk Tools. Benchmark is the same

My dopod U1000 processor speed is working at only 312Mhz. Its only half the rated speed of the processor. how can i set it to full speed? or its just at half speed when the device is at idle state when battery plugin shows processor speed? I can feel the screen generates very slowly. icons dont appear all at the same time when a window is opened. Please help. thanks.
How do you know it's running at 312Mhz?
I've read here that a certain tool (don't remember the name) incorrectly reports the speed at 312 when in fact the CPU is running full-speed. Supposedly this is confirmed on the web site for that tool. What are you using?
i believe he is using battery status and a old version. update to latest version and it should show correctly. i believe the old ones didnt want to report over 312mhz
Battery Status 0.05
Hi, thank you for your reply. Yes, im using an older version of batterystatus and its reporting 312 mhz. Where can get the new version? is there any version that can make the processor go faster? its a little slow when playing movies and listening to music gets affected when us send messages. thanks.
You can get the latest version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751
However, My display still shows a CPU speed of 312 MHz using the latest version. Does anybody have different results?
It heats up very quickly with the new update 2.3 the
998 MHz microprocessor works all the time.
view with setcpu or temp+cpu v2
you check it is not normal
It is the work of the microprocessor in the update 2.3 Whenever
is at 998 mhz.
in 2.1 this happened I never ever was 245 MHz but is now only 998 mhz
any solution?
Are you sure?
But i thinking SetCPU working not properly.

I can not confirm that.
Pointed this out a while ago with no replies from anyone. If you look at time in state in setcpu, you see that both go up at the same time but more time is spent at 1ghz. My phone is staying cool though but I'm worried about the cpu working too much.

you're right
Sony Ericsson to give it more fluidity increase the kernel OC
this can damage our cellular ¬ ¬

This program shows how much time the processor runs at a given frequency.

i can confirm
cpucpy state :-
998 mhz = 52%
768 mhz = 0%
576 mhz = 0%
384 mhz = 0%
245 mhz = 1%
Deep Sleep = 45%
using pre rooted 2.3.3 stock with bravia 100% and fps uncap
but i either extreamly play or let the x10 sleep ...... i'll test again later and tell

Same here. Always on 998 MHz or Deep-Sleep. ~1% on 245MHz, the rest nearly 0%...
but it's weird, battery life is great...better than 2.1, yet all it's using is 1GHz or deep sleep, nothing inbetween...
i can not confirm this
998 - 0:10:17
768 - 0:00:06
576 - 0:00:03
384 - 0:07:31
245 - 0:03:17
DS - 1:09:10
im on wb with hotfix 3 and bravia engine
I was having same problem... heating and eating a lot of battery
I've found out that was an application that was killing it.... I've removed the app and now is rolling well...
CPU does indicate 998Mhz all the time even when it's not doing anything... Does this "ruin" the CPU?
Cheers.
The lowest CPU frequency my device can use is 800 MHz, which seems rather high. Lower frequencies are not even listed in apps like BBS. Can anybody confirm this or is it just me?
Since my device is completely stock and not even rooted, this seems to be the intended behavior by Samsung, but the battery suffers because of this quite a bit - the standard lowest frequency of the Snapdragon 410 (my device is G357FZ) should be around 300 MHz.
I´ve also noticed that all four CPU cores are always online.
Can somebody please reply whether this is the standard behavior, or if there is something wrong with my phone? Thanks.

your best off rooting and using setcpu to change it
after waiting impatiently for the arrival of your op2 , many are disappointed with the low battery standby....specially if you are using LTE.
issues :
1) even having such a large battery, getting poor battery life.
2) even if the phone is idle, battery drains :crying:
so after having it for almost 2 weeks, i have learned most of the cpu tuner and battery saving apps wont work with op2, its not because of software, basically snapdragon 810's big little architecture is new and apps in the market are not compatible with this octacore new chipset.
and because of very less manufacturers are using this SOC as we now know why... and they were right... it heats up a lot!!! so app developers have not concentrated an specific app for this SOC.
so after lots of mix and matches, finally have come up with a stable solution as follows :
a) your phone should be rooted.
b) install 3c cpu manager from playstore.
c) open minimum 6 apps in background maximum the better.
( remember if no apps are running in background then cpu manager will show only maximum 1.555 ghz. max frequency and 384 mhz low frequency single setup only and big little architecture dual setup wont be shown ie: 810 has 4 cores running @ 1.555 ghz max and other 4 cores @ 1.76 ghz max. and both setups at 384 mhz minimum. )
d) open cpu manager, there should be 2 different setups, if not then open more apps in background, simply change the governor to ON-DEMAND, from interactive and set it on and reboot, as i have noticed with interactive governor even during standby, processor does not stays idle at lower frequencies.
after changing the governor, i have noticed that during standby cpu frequencies are in idle or at the lowest. which highly improvises the battery standby life and haven't noticed any performance degradation.
you can even limit the higher cores frequencies from 1.76 ghz to 1.55 ghz... improving up-to some limit of over heating issues and better standby time.
these are just the findings i discovered with my phone, so don't blame me if anything goes wrong, do it at your own risk.

This has nothing to do with apps, just poor drivers on the kernel side, scheduler isn't properly coded for this SoC, and the fact that there is no dynamic hotplugging options available without causing the phone to reboot under certain circumstances doesn't benefit us any. Check out some of the custom kernels, as they may increase your idle battery life, on my own kernel I saw .5% drain per hour max. For reference I saw about 20 hours idle and sitting at 89% on my kernel.

i really appreciate your findings with the kernel, but my post is intended for people like me who does not wants to mess up with a stock kernel, so that future OTA updates can be patched without much hassle.
as you see, oxygen os is quite new and incomplete when compared with other's have to offer. so i expect lots of future updates immediately by the OP to improve and stabilize the OS.
I am giving snapdragon battery guru a try, it's for Qualcomm processors. But I'm not very experienced in this stuff. I think it has helped but if someone with more experience wants to give it a try. Maybe they can shed some new light on this subject.
This is the result with on-demand governor settings when phone is idle. with stock kernel and stock frequencies.
Ondemand has always been my fvorite for all past phones. in op2 however it always reverts back to original after interactive. the best battery saver for any phone is swithching to 4.4.2. Azimg batteru life. unfortunately notpossble with op2

Being rooted alone will prevent OTA updates. You have to flash the full stock ROM when there's an update anyway which would overwrite the kernel.
