[Q] cpu use - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time i use my s3 it runs at 1400mhz almost all time. I haven't flashed any kernel. It is only rooted and i cant figure out what app is forcing cpu run so high. Only app what comes to my mind is touchwiz... (can't upload screenshot of cpu spy, i upload it with computer if needed.)

im sure the cpu would report other frequencies too. if you want to check the high cpu usage install os monitor from market and find the culprit app

Yeah it uses other frequencies too but only sometimes, it uses 1400mhz even when im just scrolling my homescreen but thanks i will try that app if it helps.

so what was the cause of this? did you ever find the reason? I even did a factory reset and still seeing 80+% usage at 1500 (or 1026 when i got power save on) with minimal time in deep sleep.

I didn't never find the reason.. but when I changed roms couple times it started to run at lower frequencies. It could be too newer android what solved problem.

For the right answer - use BetterBatteryStats (there is a free XDA-dev build somewhere around)

SGSII over heating

I own a SGS2 rooted android v 2.3.6
Many times my cell overheats without any reason and kills my battery
any idea how/why that happens
and pls suggest some solutions
You may use Setcpu or similar app to restrict the CPU from overheating. Setcpu is free for XDA members.

download betterbatterystats and see if you have app wakelocks. You could show us your battery usage history. are you running a stock build with a rooted stock kernel? more info = better help . I'd recommend Voltage Control over Setcpu too. It's lighter and should you undervolt it too much, rather than having to flash a reboot package, it delays your undervolt settings for 20 seconds at boot so you can cancel them.

CPU Temp

Is there an app to view the Real CPU temp on the Note, and not from the batt sensor? I contacted System Tuner devs to find out why the their app does not show CPU temp, and here is the response.
" This means the CPU temperature is* not available on your phone or it's notsupported by the app. Note however that many* apps on Market pretends toprovide CPU temperature while they only provide battery temperature!If you want to check if your phone has such information available, you cansearch the content of the /sys folders and all its subfolders for a filecontaining 'temp' in its name. Note you should use an automated tool forthat, such as EStrong File Explorer."

Try Temp+CPU app. I have pro version, and this allows me set update interval to as low as 1 second.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

I tried the above app, and still no CPU temp reading. I do get batt temp reading(on every app I've tried). I have been reading and come to find out the Note may not have the CPU temp sensor. Can anyone confirm?

It works perfectly on mine. Its a widget though. Configure it to show reading too, in F or C, whatever you want.
Yes I tried and it shows a static -1c on mine. I wonder if it's kernel related? I read up on the issue and some say it needs to be activated at the kernel level or that the CPU temp diode is just not there.
I'm going to flash a stock kernel and test.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
For me, it worked on stock, on Saurom, and on the latest Solaris prime, with all the kernels they bundled in.
I hope it's not a hardware issue with my note. I'm going to flash a different ROM, and test again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Ok to test out I just bought the Temp+CPU app on my Infuse as well, and it doesn't show CPU temp either. Both phones show 31°F for CPU temp. Now in widget options when changing both phones to battery temp they work fine.

Iirc both the note and the HP touchpad share similar if not the same processor...and the touchpad also doesn't show the temp. If it gets too hot it will just lock up and reboot. But its never gotten hot w/ overclocking

Problem with Unlocking.

Hey, so I have a problem I just can't figure out:
When I unlock my screen, if the slider lags, when it unlocks the phone becomes slugish and slow, and I have to lock and slide it slow so it doesn't lags so the phone stays normal. Sometimes it doesn't lags the slider, and even if it lags, after like 30 seconds the phone become normal again.
But I don't want "lock again" the phone, or slide it slow so it doesnt lag, I want to have this problem solver. Any of you guys know how?
Please, if you don't know what is causing this and you are just a troll, don't bother in this thread, thanks
Using Rooted phone, CF Root b84 FIX and I think it's just that.
That's because the frequency is too low when waking up from deep sleep. It is a normal condition. Just set your minimum frequency higher and the lag should have gone.

Are you 100% sure on that?
So and how can I change that without having a program always running on the background like setCPU?
Download any of the app which can adjust the clocked frequency

Use No frills CPU control or SetCpu if u r on stock.
If u r on CM7.x then there are overclockin options in CyanogenMOD settings. Search them a bit, I dont remember the correct name and am using stock based Rom these dayz

As you saw some posts earlier, I don't want to have a program running just to keep my CPU settings. I was looking from some program that doesn't needs to be running to keep the deep sleep setting.

~~ To gain something, you oughtta lose something ~~
I use setcpu but it's paid...
So there is no program that can set Deep Sleep frequency without beeing runed on the background?...
Guess not...o.o
Using SetCPU is your best bet..and no there are no apps which dont require running in the background AFAIK..

This happen on every rom? Why still GB. Check dmesg and logcat, dp you have governors set up properly? Download CPU Tuner or SetCPU (available for free on XDA) and try changing settings (max freq and governor) by hand. If this persist check running apps, maybe one of them keeps heavy load on CPU?
Finally, try flashing something ICS or later and report back.

What happens if you limit top frequency? Is it still running on full freq, despite limiting? Are those running correctly, having root privileges?
You can get logs by ADB. "adb logcat" and "adb shell dmesg" are your friends. If you need more details on them search forums.

Need kernel help with Infection 2.9.1

I'm on Infection 2.9.1 and I also flashed the latest Hiro kernel. I downloaded Trickster MOD to change settings. I'm getting a lot of reboots but I'm also trying to save as much battery as possible. I have no idea what settings to mess with and what to change them too. My phone settings had a Performance settings where you can change CPU settings and I also have Trickster like I said, just don't know which to use. I think both are on which might be causing problems? I posted some screenshots, could some please help me get something going? - Thanks guys!

Oh, and "set on boot" means its turned on, correct?
If your using a kernel app like trickster mod than make sure everything that says set on boot under system\performance is unchecked

OK I got that part but what settings should I use? I'm not good with kernels and these apps, changing voltages, etc. My phone has been overheating and boot looping a lot. I also want to get best battery life possible. I just don't know what settings to use. Also if I'm using trickster to tweak my CPU shouldn't the performance in my phone settings be shut off? I'm open to using another tuner app.

Make the sleep frequency be 384 (whatever the 300 MHz is) been running that way since launch of 2.9.1, no issues, besides the native tether (only buggy issue I use) and whatever else others reported, I assume. Never used the features that this report so I don't know.

There is an option in kernel tuner for it. Some kernels do not support changing that setting though.
Now that he released it, this is what I used on infection the past week when 2.9.1 came out. It works amazingly. On install it gives you options for sleep 2 wake and screen off frequency (I set mine to on and 384 with no adverse issues)

No clue what your talking about? What does that jb port do? Also are you saying I need to get rid of trickster mod and DL kernel tuner?
Edit: I downloaded kernel tuner app just even more confusing now. It has cpu0 and cpu1 and about 100 other options.

So this kernel will replace Hiro which I'm using now?
And you keep saying to change sleep freq to 384? I'm guessing that will fix my wake issues. What about fixing my battery life and boot loops?
Sent from my Infected Rezound using Tapatalk 2
Can anyone else chime in? This is what I'm trying to accomplish.
1. Fix boot loops
2. Stop the over heating
3. Make battery last as long as possible
4. Fix the wake up issues. When I press power button to wake phone the capacitive buttons turn on but the screen doesn't.
These are the issues that I'm trying to fix. Like I said I'm currently on infection 2.9.1 using lastest hiro kernel. I need some helping finding the right kernel to use and what settings to use with kernel tuner or trickster mod app doesn't matter.
Sent from my Infected Rezound using Tapatalk 2
That kernel will replace hiro. You can set screen off freq upon flashing in recovery. The below pictures is my current settings for the past week and only had one freeze (it was testing something out for the kernel before released). In the picture, screen off and idle freq are disabled as you change settings when flashing the kernel. (During install, aroma will ask if you want to do default or custom install, custom for more options.) Pictures are in thumb format so less space is used in the forum.

OK thanks for the detailed instructions I'll try it and see if my phone improves.

You can change second core to something else. Lionheart is a performance based governor. I use it on second core with mpdecision having a longer wait to turn on core 1 for my personal optimal battery saving/performance. Core 0 is set for power save bias so only when I need speed, core 1 will kick on with some higher MHz while CPU 0 catches up a little later.
Battery savings isn't too great, but unless you are doing some CPU intensive stuff, it does pretty well on battery.
This is CPU times today... Mind you, I used my phone for a total of 4hrs from 530-1640. The reason it stayed at 192 a lot was because I just did texting, web browsing and some other low CPU intensive tasks so far today (about 20-30mins of awake time in 192 was screen off streaming a local radio station.) Ran buttery smooth though.
