[Q] Setting CPU speed - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, i have a question, i am using the Phenomenal 3.0 normal version kernel and is using SETCPU apps to manage my CPU speed. However, when i try to set the speed to 1100mhz and above, the CPU speed does not go up to 1100mhz and above, instead it always stay at 1000mhz.
Has anyone experinece this before? if yes, has anyone any steps to resolve this?
Could it be the undervolt issue that is preventing me for going up to 1100mhz?
Thanks.

Looking at the thread it doesn't look like the kernel has overclock capabilities,

I am not trying to overclock, just trying to go to 1400mhz at times but i just cant go past 1000mhz, only when i restart the phone, then it will go to 1400 at times...

seem like i have solve the problem by untick the cpu power saving under the power saving option. However, it seem like the SetCPU apps is useless as i am unable to control the CPU anymore.. is that true? or are there any apps that can overcome this issue?

Have you tried using other apps, instead of SetCPU, or are you running two CPU-manipulation apps at once?
Try clearing SetCPU's data/cache and try again
I personally use AnTuTu CPU Master, but that is a personal choice, I guess

I have SETCPU and system tuner pro... does these 2 apps cause the issue that i have?

Phenomenal kernel is a ready to use kernel. You cannot change any settings here in this kernel. It's not like any other kernel wherein gives you the ability to configure the cpu and gpu. Setcpu will only work with other kernels such as SiyahKernel. This will give you the ability to set the cpu and gpu freq and voltage. The power saving mode limits the power of your cpu, thus disabling it will increase cpu freq

Hi, thanks for the info and advise, so can i ask if i revert back to Stock Kernel, i should be able to control my CPU speed?

No u need a kernel with cpu freq altering capability integrated. Siyah kernel has this I know

I use Tegrak Overclock on stock rooted ROMs. It goes to 1.6Ghz. Works perfectly.

Nope. Stock kernel will not allow you to change it. If you're on stock ics rom, i would suggest you use siyah kernel v1.5.2. I'm once a user of it. If you need a guide in underclocking and undervolting, you can find the best guide here posted by bala_gamer. You can also settings in his signature which you can use.

Yes sir I know. But I just want to give other options. So that he can choose which is good for him. He can overclock upto 1800mhz in siyah kernel. But afaik, he is more on overclocking with undervolting to have performance and battery life.

Thank you all for your good advise... now i know why i cant set my CPU speed due to kernel.
Will look into trying other kernel if i really like to control my CPU.

Nope. Pretty straightforward and it's been around for a while now. Used it with my Galaxy S II as well.

And you are very right!!!!! Doesnt matter what app you use u cant overclock on stock kernel!!!! Stock kernel doesnt have the provision for that. And if members who send links read those links properly before they send them they will realise that you need a kernel that supports overclocking like siyah!!!!!!!!!!!! Stock kernel doesnt.

Have you done undervolt also?
This is the main cause.
The problem is from your kernel
what kernel are you on, to overclock the best kernel is siyah kernel for ics roms
SiyahKernel for SGS2 | "One kernel to rule them all"

once you do this you should't have a problem anymore

Said the man who just posted that there are no stable ICS ROMs.
Great advice about overclocking though - the OP obviously really wants to, he just ended up underclocking buy some twist of fate... Good you're here to fix it for him
You cannot possibly be for real.
may i know how to undervolt and what app should i need to use to underclocking/overclocking?
i used battery saver pro to underclocking but my phone hang and force shutdown

ROM ToolBOX Pro and I717 CPU frequency

I just discovered for myself the CPU utility shows max CPU frequency as 1188MHZ. Is there something wrong with my CPU or is it ROM Toolbox's fault?
Thanks!

I use ROM toolbox a well for many thing including cpu speed... For me I'm can go all the way to 1.89 ghz.... Have you governed the cpu elsewhere? Also what ROM u using? I'm on aokp
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
the max that the rom toolbox sliders will go depends on the kernel you are using. Run and oc kernel and you can safely run at 1.86.

Did u set the cpu in rom toolbox and settings/performance/cpu? If u set both depending on the rom/kernel ya might have some weirdness.
Been using rom toolbox for almost a year, or whenever sasibob did her review on the main portal. The apps solid.

Thanks for your responses, guys. I was on Gingerbread stock. Now I'm on ICS stock and it goes all the way to 1500. Pardon my ignorance, what's oc kernel?
Overclockable...
Meaning there would be options higher than 1.5 .. And the frequency options would depend on the modules put in by the dev

Undervolting on Siyah 1.5..2

Hey All,
I have installed Foxhound ROM for ICS and loaded the Siyah Kernal.. The ROM itself is great, I have also overclocked the CPU to 1.7Ghz, But i see some battery warming issues. I have installed NStools as well.
Any recommendations what under volting can i use with this config?

Why overclock,do u experience any difference in speed in daily use,except in benchmark..
Btw an app is installed with siyah called STweaks,it controls all kernel features.read first page post 4-5 by droidphile,excellent guide

Yes I have observed changed after overclocking.. The s3 boots up way faster plus for gaming it showed me real difference specially playing real racing 2 with 1.4 and 1.7..Now I only need to undervolt correctly so I can save on my batter life.. Can we set a custom voltage for 1.7 below stock values??

stock voltage for 1.7 ghz is 1400mv, try undervolting by -50mv to -100mv and stick with one which is stable
use setcpu
keep changing it down in increments of 12.5mv and do the strees test keep doing that till u find a value that works
ps once u've done that let's us know what it is.
1088mv for 1200mHz that's the top freq I use so I never played with the voltages for the freq above it.
Hope this helps
remember thanks if it did

k did the testing for ya
on MY DEVICE (Every device slightly diff)
1704MHz voltage 1288mv (put in 1290mv it will round it down)
if that don't work or is not stable for u then the next step up is to 1300mv .
775 mv for 100MHz .
hope this helps and if it did thanks is only 1 click away.

Thanks Bala, Stressing the phone to -50mv at the moment.. Have you tried at -100mv? whats the result so far?
Also when charging I observe my phone warming a little.. Is that good?

Stock kernel

I recently flashed to 2.45cz firmware and I obtained root access and cwm. What I wanted to know was that does stock kernel allow over-under clocking with antutu cpu master ?? Or I need a custom kernel for that??

I was able to underclock the stock firmware with antutu master!! I underclocked it at 1gz at max and it's working!! I can already see the slight lag even with free ram when playing temple run which was never before!!

Yes you can underclock but not overclock and/or undervolt stock kernel.
Is it just me or do you think overclocking a 1.5 Ghz device for non-testing purposes is just unnecessary?

Battery life and benchmarks for Ktoonsez KTManta kernel

Post your benchmark results and battery stats and settings here. I know benchmarks aren't an accurate way to tell whether or not a kernel performs well, but I do find it fun to run benchmarks and see just how fast a device will score. Huge thanks to Ktoonsez for making his kernel for this device! :good:

Not using setcpu or anything else, so I'm sure I'm in balanced mode. Still....it went down... bummer

I usually use either setcpu or rom toolbox pro if kernel doesn't come with an app. There are quite a few cpu control apps on playstore.. Ktoonsez has an app that comes w/ his kernel on GS3 so thinkin he may make it in this but its very new. This is just build #1. Can't wait till oc is added!! Its gonna be great.
