SetCPU Wake UP!!! - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Still having problems. Sometimes the problem is that it is not switching from the Screen off profile when the screen is on. Sometimes it is on the right profile but will not throttle up the CPU until I mess around in SetCPU a little (or else it takes a long time). It seems like after I get the "SetCPU has root rights" message it will start working, but sometimes it is not needed.

Not having problems myself. Curious, what governor are you using? You shouldn't use profiles with some governors.

I know tons of people use setcpu and and it works for them.......but the few times I have tried it, I always have problems with it. I use os monitor to change gov settings and usually do not mess with anything else.

What kernel and also what was said previously. Having a screen off profile can conflict with the goveners already optimized routine causing lag. Using smartass I don't set any profiles just my Max frequency and governor.

I had these issues with most of the BFS Kernels. So I am using Adynalyn's 4.4.2 and have had no issues at all.

Phone stops responding after going into sleep mode.

I've rooted my device but I've kept the stock firmware.
I think the issue might be within SetCPU, I have a profile where the clock speed should dip down to 400mhz.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
I've uninstalled SetCPU and the problem persists.
Would I have to unroot my phone to get this problem to stop?

More details are always helpful...Like how often, when it happens, etc.?
But basically sounds like Sleep of Death to me. Not much of a fix available, most likely it is an application that you have installed, seems to be this way for a lot of people. Only way to fix is to look for and remove it.
At first I thought it happened when the CPU was running at full capacity, but it also happens when nothing is going on.
Like you said it's probably an application causing this issue.

[Q] set cpu, on demand frequency stuck at max

hi
i have been running my streak at 1.19ghz for a week, with no probs, but today for about 40 mins the device was kind of stuttering, i checked my set cpu , and it was showing as constantly at at 1.19gz.
i have set cpu app, on demand frequency, min 245, max 1190, it was stuck running at max until i turned on my data and done a few google searches, went back to the setcpu app, and it was back to normal, at 245, only rising when i touch the screen
any ideas what it was???

Since it stopped when you turned on data I would speculate that an app was repeatedly trying to access the 'net or sync. You need to figure out which app wasn't playing nice (and nuke it). Of course it will be an app that you really need/want.

[Q] High consumption of battery

Hello
My Razr Xt910 batteries consumption is high
For example i'm in bed for 7 hours , It consumes 20%!
Idle consumption is too high
i'm using 2G
wifi and... is off
I close all programs
changed ROM
and .....
But this problem exists
In your opinion, why is this problem?
May be a hardware problem?
Sorry for bad English
Thanks
There's an app called Watchdog Task Manager that can monitor your apps and phone processes. That might be able to help you pin point if you've got a rogue app.
My girlfriend had to swap out her first Razr for a similar problem. Her phone would not last her an entire day with very light use. Using Watchdog Task Manager I was able to find that the suspend process was hanging and causing the battery to drain very rapidly.

If you were rooted you may get rid of some apps. Like if you dont use backup asst.
It always runs in the back round. I talked to a rep the other day that said just force stop it. I said duh but it will re start itself. Make a list of what you see is running in the back round and and we can figure what program it is to see if we can freeze or get rid of it. Ahh I see you tried different Roms. You can use and app like NoBloat freeze. What Rom did you use? There is more information we need and can go from there.
Edit: How to use , go to system ,apps and look at running. Do you have email setup? How often is that set to refresh for email. So many things to look at.
Install Watchdog and agree to the license.
Set the default monitor to aggressive using the pulldown menu.
Hit the menu button on you phone and go to preferences.
Click "CPU threshold" and set it to 20%.
Click "Polling interval" and set it to 1 minute.
Click "Real time polling interval" and set it to 5 seconds.
Where it says "Include phone processes" make sure that is checked.
Click and check mark "Monitor phone processes" and "Display all phone processes"
Click on "System process CPU threshold" and set it to 40%
Now Watchdog will monitor all your apps and processes and will alert you if anything is going over the thresholds you have set. You can see what the culprit is under the alerts tab in the main menu.
Also, by going into the CPU tab on the app main menu, if you check "real time CPU" you can monitor your CPU usage in real time yourself. Anything in cyan is a background app/process, white is for system processes, and green is for apps/processes in the foreground.
I still use this app quite a bit especially if I install a few new apps, although I run it with the CPU polling interval at 10 minutes and the System process CPU threshold at 50% in my everyday usage to minimize CPU usage.
The suspend process that was giving my girlfriend problems on her phone can be seen while in the CPU tab if you check "real time CPU." I believe it will pop up after your phone is unlocked but should afterward stop and not consume any CPU. On my girlfriend's old phone this would not be the case. The suspend process would hang and constantly alert through Watchdog that it was exceeding the percentage threshold.
I'm not sure if this will be of any help and I apologize if it does not but it did help me. Good luck.

I dont have a gsm razr but the maxx cdma. Look at what the post above says and try it. What is the actual live of the battery after a day of use or how long does it last with normal usage?

ok
About 20 hours
and phone idle consumption is high
Watchdog alert:
suspend
Linux Process
43.4%
What's this?
What should I do?
You should use SetCPU and underclock your CPU so it runs slower but provides better battery life.
Switch the governor to the regular hotplug instead of mot_hotplug and under advanced change the sampling rate to 30000, up threshold to 95, down threshold to 50. Also in profiles set up profiles for various circumstances so if you're sleeping, you can make it so that if the screen is off you're limited to 300/600 mhz and so on.
I was using the ondemand governor earlier and then I stumbled upon some descriptions of them where they explained hotplug as being very similar to ondemand but having the capability to switch off the second core if there is not enough workload which I believe ondemand doesn't allow you to do.
Yesterday, I was at 65% battery left after 9 1/2 hrs of mild usage (2 phonecalls, 100 sms, bit of im'ing, light browsing and a couple of emails). Had the profile set so that it would limit clock at 600mhz when my battery is under 90% and at 800mhz when its above 90%.

I do not think the problem is the cpu usage
I think the battery has problem
Help Me
My battery also drains very fast, I have no clue why but I will try to charge it 100% tommorow and see how long it will last.
Please somebody help me!
May be a hardware problem?

Try the app juicedefender and see if that helps? a longshot but maybe its worth.
20 hours out of your phone but is that moderate usage? Forget about idle time. Do you not get regular usage out of your phone?
i have a Moto razr my own , and never noticed how much the battery would last.
of course it won't concern me much , cause i already prepared my self for a lousy battery back up with a 4.3 inch display and dual core cpu!!
i got your back on this whole messed up battery fiesta thing buddy ,
i'm gonna charge my razr up , and see how it's battery gonna react , if it's as bad as your device , chances are , it's a pretty common problem on every xt910 units , and you don't need to be worry about a thing.

after reading a few tips on the forums, I did the following:
1. installed SetCPU (paid) and made a custom "profile" that, when I turn the screen off, it reduces the CPU activity to the minimum (300)
2. I installed an app called "2x battery" (free) which will kill my data when the screen is off... I have it set up to where it will briefly enable my data connection every 15 min. to check for emails/texts, etc., and I also have it set up to where, if I have an active data connection (i.e. pandora) then it will not disable the data during that period.
3. With the 2x battery it also doubles as a manual task killer... or you can also install "memory booster" (lite = free)
4. set my wallpaper background to black
with these things I have really noticed an increase in battery power... try them and see what you think!

oh yeah, after you are at 100% on your battery and have unplugged it and plugged it back in a couple times and it still stays at 100, then reboot into recovery (while still plugged in) - go to advanced - wipe battery stats - reboot - unplug and run battery all the way down till it dies - charge up without unplugging. see if that helps, it will re-condition your battery.

[Q] Logging Processes using CPU

Recently, out of sudden, something got wrong with my Android (on Xperia Arc). From time to time, when screen is blocked, something starts to turn on and off the screen. It keeps going like this forever (switching every few seconds, then staying on for few seconds and going blank again) until I unlock the screen. After I unlock the screen I cannot of course determine which process it might have been. On the other hand having screen switched half a day, drains the battery very quickly.
Therefore I am looking for an app, which can monitor and, what is most important, log in some file CPU load (not a total one but divided into processes). It doesn't have to be a task killer or battery optimizer. Just simple logger will do. Anyone knows such app?
Of course any other ideas how to deal with the problem will be much appreciated.
You can use cpu spy. Also looking up a logcat might help you see what's the problem.

How to reduce overheating in Galaxy SII?

I have a problem...
I usually use the Galaxy SII to route internet.
But sometimes it overheats and then restarts and paralyzes in the "Galaxy SII" screen.
The only way to reverse this is to install the recovery again.
Then I restart the device, but another problem arises: I can not access the settings.
When I click on settings, the option open, but when I click on any item of settings, settings closes abruptly.
So the only way to recover the system is to reinstall the rom again ...
I took some measures to prevent overheating:
I limited the CPU clock to 800 Mhz.
I use the power saving mode.
Backlighting always in minimum.
And I leave the device without the back cover and I use Greenify to hibernate a lot of apps.
I also do not play games on the device while I'm routing the cell, by the way, I leave to play on my tablet.
Things I can not miss:
- Disable the router
- Disconnect it from the outlet. I do it only sometimes, because when I do this then the battery runs out fast and I get no internet.
Anyway, I would like tips on how to reduce device's overheating and the measures I've ever take to prevent this.
I use the rom Revolution UX 2 Build 2014.

Hmm that's weird, my phone won't get that hot when being hotspot.
You can try disabling mobile internet while doing it.
I don't know what else could be the problem as u already using stuff like greenify etc.
I'm not a technical expert but I think limiting CPU speed to 800mhz and setting battery mode leads to exhaustion to your phone even more cause you are limiting its resources and thus it has to try to manage this job with too less power.
You could try to do the exact opposite and overclock to 1,4 ghz and disable battery mode.
Also screen can be turned of meanwhile I think?
If things won't help I'd think about flashing a new rom.
Hope I got the term routing the internet right

Hi!
I can't disable data connection... It's for this that I use hotspost... To transfer data connection (3G) from my mobile to PC and my tablet.
About to do overlock... Hmmm, my kernel is incompatible with this... And I don't think it will help...
Disable battery mode? Will try... But... This only change the color of screen, disable vibration and some system sounds...
And the "rotate screen" it's also disabled...

Ah alright now I get it.
Well I'm not sure, i just can tell I'm not having such problems.
I'd suggest u flash dorimanx kernel so u have more options to play around with. There also is a tweak called pure performances X (Zeno edition for galaxy s2) which is making your phone a lot faster and is said to eventually strengthen the signal and thus reduce battery drainage.
