I have a weird situation with my Atrix. I unlocked and rooted the Atrix and installed CM10 with "those" libs and the CPU never ran higher than 456 mHz. I tried setCPU to make the miniumum 700-1000 to try and see if it would run at a higher frequency and it would just sit at 456. I then flashed the second CM10 with "those" libs after reset and wipe and still the CPU is just sitting at 456. I think this might be causing me to have mediocre battery performance. I wiped everything multiple times and flashed AtrICS rom and then fixed permissions but still the CPU was sitting at 456. I found this thread about pdsfix http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1131649 and tried both methods and wiped the cache through fastboot but no change in the cpu max. I've wiped everything multiple times and no change has occurred. I also tried ramfix even though my ram was being reported correctly. I'm using the newest version of TWRP and everything on the phone seems to run well. I am just wondering if anybody thinks it is just a reporting issue for the CPU and that 456 really means 1000 mHZ or if there is something in the kernel that is screwy.
I have attached a screenshot of CPU speeds after I ran a benchmark test. Let me know if you have any ideas on this phenomena. Thanks
What happens with cm7?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
I'm currently running Neutrino 2.91 cm7. The processor is hitting 1000mHz and all frequencies in between. There is a post in the Q&A section which has some log information on the issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942247. It looks like a kernel issue but it is odd only two or three people have commented on it.
I've been experiencing this as well, although it does get through all the frequencies. After awhile, around 20+ mins, it goes back to the same frequency. Kinda annoying when you need that extra boost.
Nevertheless, I really am waiting patiently fr the things to get sorted out. Ever since that "takedown", its kinda messy around
I wonder I'd the CPU has a safe mode that kicks in due to temperature. I guess it could be some sort of setting that turns on a governor (deep sleep) but it is activating at the wrong time.
Sorry to bump such an old thread but I believe the previous poster was correct. I just went back to ICSRom to investigate, and sure enough my CPU temp is reading 450°C! Now, since my Atrix hasn't turned into a puddle of molten plastic, I guess now I've got to try and work out how to correct/disable this reading without kernel source. Sigh.
Edit: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0... Can't change any parameters though
Edit 2: I may be wrong, it hasn't tripped any thermal alarms. I just think SetCPU is out by a factor of 10. Temp1 is currently reading 43000 (43°C?) And the critical threshold is 127000 (127°C?) which appears to be the maximum. It is possible to set it lower than the default, but not higher.

I'm running prebeta 4 - and just wondering if anyone is having there phone heat up on them? It only takes about 5-10 minutes of use and it gets pretty warm? I have gone into the performance settings and lowered the cpu speed to 913mhz? That seemed to help a tad, but it could just be in my head.
Another thing i noticed is that copy and paste doesn't work. Is anyone else able to solve that issue?
Thanks!

It does heat up a bit. You may want to try undervolting your phone. I've noticed that it doesn't get as warm. If you do a search there are a few threads on the topic. No C+P problems for me.
I installed CM7 yesterday too. Haven't had any issues with heating up yet. Idle is around 32C. Performance wise , this is the best ! as enomai said, you can under volt your phone by going to settings>cm settings>performance>"watch out for the dragons ahead! >CPU settings>change the min and max cpu frequency to your desire MHz.
You might need to reflash and wipe everything. Or find out what rogue app you got going.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
had a force close and notice that caused it to overheat, checked set cpu and noticed it sitting at 1300 constantly and not scaling or dropping at all.. had to reboot for it to cool down.

AAhhh ok. Well in that case I would say if it's not a piece of software * like for example do you have TWO overclock softwares installed, like setcpu AND another?*, then it's probably a kernel problem. I would uninstall whatever software you have to overclock, reboot into fastboot, do a
fastboot erase boot
fastboot reboot
, and then reboot into recovery and try flashing the kernel again. wipe cache, see if this works.
Do I need to get Setcpu to undervolt my phone? I'm a bit nervous that the heat will damage my phone. I really love cm7, but I need it to not overheat. This never happened when I ran stock? What do you guys think?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I havnt been running into any overheating issues at all, actually been running cooler on CM7. Im running Faux's 1.3 OC kernal instead of the kernal that came with it though. Try reflashing the kernal or flashing another one of Faux's kernals for CM7. I would definitely install Setcpu so u can moiter the battery and processer temps. Set up a few profiles and try undervolting some.
CM7 on the atrix appears to heat up rather quickly. Is this due to the Kernel but faux123 has mentioned (slave processor not able to be under clocked yet)? Has anyone else solved the heating issues? I've seen a bunch of posts on this, but i could never find a straight answer. Sorry if i missed it.
Undervolting seemed to fix that problem for me. I I also run at 1000 mhz rather than 1100.
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
I actually felt less heat with CM7. Just make sure you have the kernel that came with CM7 not faux's 1.3 GHz one. Also, if you still feel it gets warm, try setting profiles in SetCPU. And if that doesn't work, read about undervolting and then try it if you're up for it.
plus one for the less heat, at first i had more but that was when i just flashed it and was charging + putting everything back on.
cm7 after boot up with same apps gives me 560mb ram, Alien #4 like 360. Blur takes alot out of the phone, also they have the fingure print scanner working and will hopefully be out next update of cm7
this phone on cm7 not being overclocked is like alien on steroids. mine boots up in like 5 seconds TOP i cant say much about the battery as Atnt in my town the last 2 days have been screwed up. cant get service for the life of me 3g dropped calls instantly. i just found out forcing it to egde everything works, but i think they finally fixed it tho.
Undervolting helps with the heat.

I installed cyanogenmod 7 on my Legend a few weeks back. It was running ok, today I thought about overclocking it. I had overcloced it before to 745 (or something) and it had worked fine so I thought about overclocking it to 850 (or something). As soon as I did that, it hanged for a while and then restarted.
Now everytime I start it, it restarts before I can do anything. All i managed was to enter the performance settings menu, but I cannot reach far enough to reset the CPU settings (it restarts)
Is there any other way I can reset the values, some file or something. I really don't want to reinstall everything.
What program are you using to over clock. Funnily this happened to me when I attempted to Oc (using setcpu) my legend to 864. However I installed the setcpu widget and I was able to change the speed asap. Maybe if you pressed fast enough then you might be able to restart before it restarts. But if all Is lost then factory reset is the way to go.

I was using the cyanogenmod 7 performance settings (settings>cyanogenmod>performance>cpu settings).
But I managed to reset it. I took out the memory card in hope that it will give me more time to reach the settings, and when I opened the CPU settings it was set to 600 MHz. looks like the settings were stored in memory card.
Hm
For future reference, don't check "restore on boot" until you know it's stable
Hi
In my case, overclocking is possible up to 844mhz, but I have reboot after few minutes. Max stable value is 806mhz (for me).
Maximal frequency depends of phone, every Legend are different. For one max is 768, for other maybe it 864.
Greetings
Sorry for my language
gosh... reading this post brings memory the last time i was messing with the performance thingy.... have to wipe my legend to get rid of the OC setting was my fastest option... but lost my unbackup data.
well you can try flashing your rom without wipe and hope things got back to normal.
on oc testing
my advice is this.... do your nandroid backup before doing OC testing...
if you have setcpu for OC testing... dont use the main bar to test oc...
but you can have setCPU to OC if certain condition like charging the phone is meet.
then if your system gone nuts just unplug the usb (not charging) and it will go back to main setting.
if you are using cyanogenmod performance setting.... do as TGF say.. do not set on reboot before you are sure that the system is stable...
plus you better nandroid backup first before messing with your phone...
My phone runs stable at 787............and I'm quite satisfied about the performance. But only because I have the power to, I'm thinkin about trying higher frequensies. Should I? Or it is an unnecessary risk?
Also, is there any preffered way to "try out" the performance once you set a new Max MHz?
I just installed CM9 beta1 and I'm having troubles with the overclocking. I tried the 768MHz but it freezes after a few seconds. Is there a way to overclock to a specific speed? I saw a while ago some guy saying that at aroung 728MHz it does a great job. I have kernel 2.6.35.13-htc-msm7x27-ics.
I got a bug, don't know if it's related to the ROM or the overclocking but when I set the minimum speed to 19MHZ, like on stock Legend, when I tried to wake my phone, it seemed to be stocked at 19MHz, so I couldn't do anything, had to take battery out. Happened to anyone else? It happened to me once since yesterday.
overclocking
I'm sure most of you probably know this but just in case..... If you get a program that allows you to see your logcat (google them) and clean the log of errors by removing problem apps or limiting their permissions. The result is you end up with a much more stable OS and you can then overclock a lot more heavy handed. With the changes, I very rarely have any problems and run at 864mhz. Hope it helps

What governor are you using? If your using power save or conservative that will defenitly cause it.
Sent from my Legend using XDA
I could never overclock my Legend. Always near-instant reboots . Consider yourself lucky if you can!
I just installed the new Siyah 3.2b1 kernel to run my ShoStock 2.2.2 ROM last night and everything was working fine. I didn't make many changes other than switching the governor to lulzactive and the i/o scheduler to noop.
It was running fine over night (lost 0% battery).
Then today after I used the phone for a few minutes the battery seemed to drain a little quicker. I know its too early to complain about battery life but I decided to investigate. When I checked cpuSpy it showed that all of the frequencies were barely used (mostly spent in deep sleep over night) but the 1200 mhz frequency was used most after that (significantly more than the others). When I went back into voltage control (same thing with setcpu) I noticed that it seemed to be stuck at 1200 mhz. The only thing that fixed it was changing the governor.
Does anyone have any ideas on whats causing this and how to fix it (I had great battery performance on lulzactive before so would like to use it again)?
Just try clearing app data rebooting and reinstalling the app. That problem has happened to me every once in a blue moon and that fixed it for me.

Thanks, I'll try reinstalling the kernel.
Which app are you referring to? because I had this problem no matter which app I used to change the governor (Extweaks, voltage control, setcpu).
Use Jivy's Kernel cleaning script prior to flashing, and try again.

Hi Guys,
My first post here. I am total noob. I rooted and installed the newest ShoStock2 on my at&t galaxy s2. Everything works perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I also went bought the setCPU for overclocking it. That too seem to be working fine.
My question is. I didn't set up any voltage requirements. The only thing I did was to set it to 1600 MHZ and 200 min and change the governor on the bottom to Lulzcrative. Will this work? Do I need to actually do something with the voltage? am I really on 1600 right now? I cannot tell.
I ran a quad test (I now it is meaningless in real world) it came 2818 yesterday. I ran it again this morning ..... It froze and took my battery from 45 to 9 in less than 3 mins!!!!!! The phone got really hot. I took out the battery right of way. The battery life showed 23 percent this time.
I got little afraid of the quadrant testing ... The phone seems to run good without that but I am not sure if it is set up how it is suppose to.
Could someone help me out please? I tried reading the forums and that is where I got the idea in the first place to overclock it.
So to summarize it, I guess phone is fine right now but I am not sure if I set up setcpu out properly.
I am on the newest shostock2. I have galaxy s2 on att. I am pretty good with computers and phones but not sure about voltage and other problems with relating to setCPU.
Thank you advance for helping me out.

Lots of questions there. Phone overclocking is the same and at the same time different than PC overclocking. I too bought SetCPU and due to bugs and problems have completely abandoned it. Honestly with the exception of running an epeen benchmark there is little incentive to overclock. Find a newer Kernel (I use NEAK which has no overclocking ability) and install it, performance is stellar. You really have to ask yourself, is my phone slow enough that I need more CPU power to make it faster?
To see what time your CPU is spending at a given clock speed, download CPUSpyhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd, you will be surprised to see your phone spend very little time at it's max clockspeed.
Due to the immaturity of the fab process for our CPU's (well SoC), what is a stable overclock for one person might not even load for another. These CPU's are not like an Intel Sandy Bridge, with 1Ghz of free overclocking, nearly guaranteed. You can certainly play with voltages to try and attain a higher overclock, but at the expense of CPU lifetime, as well as battery.
Additionally, it takes a new Kernel 3 or so full charge, discharge cycles on a phone to really 'settle in' and 'learn' a particular phones battery, while yours got hot, which to me indicates an endless loop of some kind running in the background.
My advice would be as follows: Choose a ROM you like, feel free to play with different Kernels, again, I use NEAK, which does not work for some folks, or crashes or whatever. Give it several days to 'settle in' and if your still not happy with performance or have stability problems, try a different governor/scheduler. You really need to establish a good, solid baseline of your phones performance and make small changes and give them long enough to establish any changes to your phones overall stability. Basically running cowboy through your phone and making changes will have a negative overall outcome. Make small, documented changes, test and see what overall effect this has to your phone's stability and battery life, and make another change.

I'm just going off what I've seen in the Siyah/NEAK threads. Most of the lock-ups/random reboots I've heard people having had used the cleaning script. Either that or its just coincidence.
I may be wrong but I think that using the kernel cleaning script actually solved most of the lockups. Perhaps I misunderstood the threads.

Anything based on the kernel from 'That Rom' caps my CPU speed at 456MHz, has anybody else experienced this?
Looking at my kernel log, it brings up the CPU at 993MHz, then later on as the kernel is coming up, I get "CPU rate: 912MHz" just before it mounts the filesystems, then just after 'Enabling non-boot CPUs', I get 'request_suspend_state: wakeup (3->0...' followed by 'Tegra cpufreq resume: restoring frequency to 456000 kHz' which doesn't really make much sense since it hasn't been to sleep yet...
tegrapart is d00 if it matters.
In desperation to make the Atrix a bit more usable - as my One X has got to go back to hTC for a dead accelerometer - I've been trying to make anything based on the new kernel work on my phone without much success (If I can't run ICS/JB with the new kernel I may as well use the Desire Z instead as it's faster/less glitchy.) I'm wondering at this point if either a) I have a freak Atrix which behaves differently to everybody elses' when presented with the same code or b) this is somehow related to my semi-dead USB port (which works in fastboot/RSD but not once Linux has booted) but it's fine otherwise with all 2.6.32 kernels.
I even tried relocking it, flashing a retail EU 2.3.4 SBF and doing a data wipe from there, then re-unlocked it followed by a clean install of the most recent version of CM10 with 'That ROM' kernel and libs.
The only thing I can think now is perhaps something on my PDS partition is stuffed - assuming this is not reinitialised by Moto ROMs at any point. I suppose I've nothing to lose by backing up PDS (and writing down the MACs - haha), then trying the dev kit version that's floating around.
Edit: Flashing PDS didn't help with either problem so I restored my backup.
Edit 2: Does anybody know what type the little battery on the motherboard is so I don't have to desolder it before obtaining a replacement? I figure replacing it is probably a good thing to do as it's currently reading 2.52v, and all the coin cells I know of are either 1.5 or 3.2v...
Same Issue
I've got the same issue with tegrapart #1100:100:800. Anything that runs using the kernel from That Rom caps my processor speeds at 456 mHz. The phone seems to run fine except the battery life is bad when the phone is not sleeping. I'm pretty sure the battery life is bad because the CPU is running at 99% and 456 mHz. I've tried the PDS fix using both flash methods and it didn't work. I also tried CPU frequency setting programs (like setCPU) and that didn't work . I hope somebody can come along with the answer. Luckily I can live with the battery life being poor when in use since the phone is in sleep often.
Attached is a screen shot of the CPU frequency usage after running Quadrant full benchmark.
I have the same with d00 any solutuion?
