Hey,
I got the galaxy for some days now, I installed better battery stats and for some reason I see in the Cpu states the from 1ghz and above all the bars are empty, and like the phone don't use them.. I tried to play angry birds and some other games and try to do quadrant test to see if it reach the higher Cpu speed, but with no help.
The maximum is 1ghz.
Does anybody knows something about it? Maybe android doesn't support it or something :/
Thanks, Elad

You have powersave enabled.
Go to settings -> powersave to set it.
Ok probably those frequencies are not used frequently so they became 0% in bbs. In Cpu spy I see them used for something like 16 seconds..
Thanks!

With CM7 my Batt = 40°C and CPU=53°C is that too hot. It happens after about 20 minutes of normal use. I'm on cm7 beta. i'm running everything default, which I believe is 1100 mhz. Let me know what you guys think.
Seems fine to me. I have setcpu set to lower clock speed at 65C, but rarely get to 60C. I see nothing wrong with your temps.

I think as long as the CPU doesn't go over 60 you're good

That's correct. Its only after you go beyond 60 that you start getting into trouble. You're fine if you're topping out at 53.
The only issue IMO is that above 40 on the battery is that the battery does tend to drain faster...

What were you doing on your phone, which kernel do you have installed, and what radio are you using?
I was just randomly doing stuff, including surfing, Netflix etc. my kernel is 2.6.32.39-mb860-cm7-Karanalmod stock cm7 beta and my radio is N_01.77.30 P

Hmm, try flashing the enhanced 1.0 GHz kernel and try some undervolting. Overclocking, while resulting in increase speed, leads to more heat production as the CPU is forced to do more work. Simply setting the CPU to 1.0GHz on setcpu won't cut it yet as the app only changes the clock speed for the main core. As the second core is switched on, the CPU reverts back to 1.1 (or whatever the highest speed is).
Where do I get that kernel?

Look up faux's thread in the dev section
Is there any app that can turn off cores manually on the S3? 2nd core doesn't work and Cpu sleep seems very useless because I can't turn off cores while actually using my phone. An app like 2nd core for a quad core cpu would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

pegasusq (the scheduler) doesn't turn cores on and off based on whether the phone's screen is on, but based on the CPU usage.
So it actually does everything you need by itself; if it's sitting idle it will turn off cores, whenever you need the horsepower it turns them back on.
Siyahkernel with Extweaks allows you to force it down to 2 or 3 cores, however I wouldn't do it. Rather play with ExTweaks to have it turn the other cores on when the load is higher.
If you don't want to use the extra cores, why didn't you just buy a galaxy s2 instead?

Yeah but on my S2 I found that using 2nd core and turning it to single core usage it would give almost the same performance if I just boosted cpu by 200mhz. So do I need the siyahkernel or is there a core turn-off app for ninphettamin kernel?
Sorry for late reply I was abroad.

it was a legitimate question mate, no need to snap. On topic, the phone really should do that on its own and handles all the processes just fine. I don't think youd even WANT to have to manually change there core usage, that's a hassle. I'm sure there are plenty of great custom kernel s as the previous posts have mentioned that improve off of stock greatly though

There is no need for installing anything that enables or disables cores, let android take care of that. Not all cores will be initiated when mailing, texting or calling. Only when they have to. It`s like using these stupid task managers that mess up android task management. Let it go unless you know what you are doing. No disrespect but only noobs come up with these ideas.
Pegasusq does all the work, users need not apply. (Seriously)
If you need to ask this question then you need to leave the system alone.

If you use a kernel with init.d suport you can flash this zip in the recovery.
It disable 3 core's when the screen is off.
Only for JB rom's!!!!

Alright what governor r u guys using? I'm using smartass2 and although I het excellent batt life when screen is off, it is a bit choppy and not as smooth as I would like.and it drains fairly fast when screen is on or plating angry birds for like 5 mins. I'm looking for something that's a good balance between smoothness and most importantly battery.
any ideas?

ive used lionheart, and it drained the batter SO fast. ima give wheatly a try on monday and intidemand tomorrow. compare the 2 results i guess lol
Battery stats on intellidemand are ok.. I'm a heavy user tho I use another OEM battery and an external charger and switch out thru the day.. I get about 1.5-2.0 hrs of screen time in about a 9-12hr period depending on what I'm doing.. sometimes I'll wake up and drain it dead in an hour and a half (dl, surfing, forums, texts few calls) I'm undervolted -50mv across the board. And set at 1.56ghz on viperrez using dsbs kernel..

no. preformace hasent turned on the 2nd core for me, also since it runs at max frequency all the time, and dosent scale down, unnessarly heat and ussage from the cpu builds up and cooks it. should only be uses for benchmarking IMO
Next noobish question. It's easy to find it in AOSP, but I can't find the governors in Sense ROMs. I'm currently using ViperRez.
Smartassv2 on ziggy kernel. Went about 15+ hrs with 2+ screen on hrs OC'd @ 1.8. I also tethered ALOT during the screen off period and ran multiple benchmarks. Stock battery

If you're using DSB's kernel (I am), his latest has pegasusq governor on it. It seems to turn on the 2nd core more often. I use system tuner pro and CPU Usage Monitor. CPU usage monitor allows you to put icons on the notification bar showing CPU speed AND cpu utilization for both cores. So you can see whats going on. Also system tuner allows you to 'force' the second core on. You can do this with Ondemand with good results. IMO

it hasent work with me.... every time i force all cores online, the 2nd one still just shuts off auto mtcicallly. i just gavce up on that, but yea im thinking pegasusq will be best shot. or interactice for both gaming.
I bought the game. Btw
When I play the game, my device heats up and just wondering if there is a app for showing the CPU temp. And what is the safe zone for the CPU? But I really need that app its not only mc4 but that my main question. I played for 2 hours straight, ended up with 12% battery and the phone felt very hot.
EDIT: for anyone wishing to find out their CPU temp, buy SET CPU and place the widget on your homescreen.

These games are really GPU intensive so my bet is you slow down your gaming. I mean take breaks from time to time. App, I don't know any but you may find it and it may need root. Plus do you have a case on? If yes then it is one of the reasons why your phone is heating up so much. Can you also specify the position where the Phone feels the hottest.
Hit Thanks if I helped you.

my phone heats up in the bottom right. I don't use a case, i am fully rooted and have a custom rom. i don't have any way to read what temperature my phone is heating up to but at a guess, i would say around 50 C or something i don't know My old s1 actually plays the game smoother than my s3!!!! i think the heat is throttling it. i haven't overclocked my phone.
The processor is at the bottom so it will definitely heat up there.
The best thing you can do is to take a break when playing for a long time. Don't charge when playing, turn power saving off when playing (works for me).

I'm having no trouble playing MC4 for many hours.. Charging just makes a little warmer than it normally would be. Something happened one time when it went really hot, but cooling it down and reboot, and nothing happened ever since. I'm pretty sure there's a monitoring widget app on play store, but there's a menu in SetCPU that shows current battery level and temperature.
Omega v34 with Siyah 1.8 kernel. CPU OC 1.6GHz and UV around 100~150mv for each frequency. GPU OC to 600MHz no UV.

yep will do, just a few last things, i modified the UV a bit. My phone started to crash alot so i changed them a bit. for 3 hours of gaming my CPU went up to 50C still kinda warm but hey, it quadcore. to keep it at 30C or 24C idle you would need a water cooler. LOL

try installing custom rom and undervolt your CPU and GPU just little bit if your phone is rooted... It might help.
