Hi.
Several days ago my sola started to lag by itself, almost all the time. Recently I found out that the CPU usage was very high (ex: using governor performance the usage is 100% on 1.0 GHz, using powersafer it's 100% on 200Hz, using hotplug it runs around 80-90% on 200Hz or 1.0GHz, sometimes around 60%).
I also tried changing the I/O scheduler, it's not really working.
Sometimes it works normal, but mostly are when charging.
I'm a real noob for such thing.
Please, I beg of you, help me fix this problem, whenever this happens my heart broke.
Note : It's rooted, using Speedy kernel v5.5 or v5.0, I don't remember, Project GX Gaming ROM v5.0.0.

If i got u right u are using custom ROM?
Try to set back original one, that may solve your problem. I would suggest to stick with GB instead of ICS on Xperia Sola.
I am not a pro with all this stuff, but I was facing few problems with updating to... Downgrading to GB solved some of them
how s your battery life?
It depends on what governor I'm using, but that's not the main problem here.
It's about endless CPU usage for nothing that makes my phone lags all the time. Even it lags as hell right after boot now.
I'm about to change to Galaxy Y now though.
No need to do that... Everything is fixable... Mine works like a charm... No laggs at all.. Only thing I claim about is battery... Notice that there is no perfect phone around... And sola is not the worst one. But it s up to u to decide...
Good luck

hi guys,
i got a K17i miniPro, now have to choose the right Firmware
my usage will be: mainly Trillian, some daily-use Apps, OSM Navigation sometimes.
so i dont need eyecandy-blingbling fullysocial integrated Walkman stuff; so i dont want a Stock ROM
i very love CM 7.2 (Android 2.3.7) on my Ideos X3, but i heard CM9 should be more better
so... can you tell me please
what combinations are you using?
how are you using your phones?
and how long does your battery last finally?

Well,I m on MESA 1.6 Kernel and Stock ICS ROM at the moment and battery life is pretty good.
It ranges between 16-18h with heavy use up to 36-40h with light use of the phone.
They key thing is getting rid of all the bloatware that stock ICS has,plus using profiles as far as CPU
clock and Governors are concerned.I m sure that you know all the other tricks like a lower than 50%
screen brightness and Synch OFF and stuff like that.
Hope I helped.Good luck! Experiment and you ll find a good combination of settings.
N.
before installing any custom rom you have to first unlock bootloader then after flash underclock to increase battery lifetime
I did read somewhere that rage kernel is the best for getting the most battery life! Gnna try it soon !
Also use smartassv2 as ur governor with noop ... Underclock ur processor a bit
( I use mine at 834 MHz, runs smooth) ..u can always bring it back up if u feel like your phone is getting a little laggy.

I have tried both CM7.2 and CM9.0 RC2 on my XMP. CM9.0 RC2 still has some bugs. I have installed it twice. It boots ok but I have got two severe problems. There is a weird screen at the very first boot which tells you to input SIM lock key. I couldn't get past this screen. Another time, the launcher didn't load no matter how many times I rebooted.
I tried CM7.2, the ROM is very good and usable. But I don't know why my battery drains too much fast. I flashed the ROM while my phone was fully charged and also wiped the battery stats. But no good, the battery drains way too fast.
You can try kamarush's MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP with Rage kernel or Krsh kernel. Very good ROM with very low battery drain.
I was using CM9 Stable on my XP Mini for the past week.
Battery life sucked really hard in comparison to MESA Kernel/Stock ROM.
We re talking about 10-14h for a full charge using Data (3G).
I m back on MESA/Stock again.
N.
Try Extended stock kernel with miniCMsandwich lite.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
CPU max: 768mhz min: 249mhz
I lowered voltage by 50mV for all frequencies with "system tuner"
Governors: scary, smartassV2, interactive, brazilianwax. SmartassV2 is the most popular all around governor.
I'm also using "perapp" application. It allows me to set different CPU frequencies individually per application. e.g. when I enter a demanding app, it upscales the max CPU freq to 1ghz...
Try to use a light ROM, or simply remove bloatware manually.
Consider GB since it's less resource demanding, less lag and faster then ICS.
Xtended stock kernel{ICS} by expeacer has a good batt consumption. Rage for GB&ICS also.
For CM7, you can use ported Rage kernel by user greenalgae.

hey guys,
i recently rooted my xperia s and im now on the KA speed 11.1 rom w/ 5.1 sspeed kernel. I just want to find out what you guys think is the optimal setcpu profile settings for a rooted Xperia S. By optimal i mean (extended batt life w/smooth lagless operations and less cpu heat)
thanks in advance!

I overclocked to 1.89 , scaling is ondemand
Smoothness : very , very smooth
Battery life : the same for me
Cpu heat : Only when playing mc3 for 2 hours
---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------
And use AnTuTu cpu master , its more stable :good:
Before you doing something that can make your phone burn it is better for you to search an info about it. And there is a step of doing it not just simply swipe it to maximum clock. That is why the devs always remind us to take our own risk of overclocking. You can read more detail info from this link.

*Sorry for my english*
Overclocking the maximux cpu frequency doesnt mean heat/battery dies
It only increases the maximum level of what the frequency can reach , so if ur just browsing or watching utube or playing 2d games like angry birds , the fone wont run at the maximum overclocked frequency , so no effect will occur , but if u play a heavy game like modern combat 3 and u have overclocked , the cpu frequency will jump to the maximum and will cause heat after a while and more battery usage
Thats what i think
check my thread in the general section
Sent with my Sony Xperia S using a little bit of KA magic.
no necessary to overclock
hey guys...i bought my SXS with android 2.3.7 ....3months ago....bootloader unlocked...rooted...and really...2x 1,5GHz is totally enough for your device...even Shadow Gun runs perfectly smooth without overclocking.......but if you have installed a custom rom...you will get lags e.t.c ....if so...download chainfire 3d from google market....free ofcharge...install the driver and everything should be ok now.
if you want to overclock....i advice you to use cpu tuner...uses a bit memory...and you may choose how many cpu should run....i prefer to select just one cpu " in settings...use dual cpu.....deactivate" ....and then overclock it...you will get a nice performance and a little more battery life.
hope it helped
Has been using SetCPU for the last one day on rooted stock ROM n it really boosted the phone's performance.. Plus one of the weird thing is dat it actually saving battery.. I ws using juice defender & GO Power at the same time but wasn't quite getting da performance.. But now SUPERB! Attached are the screen shots of my SetCPU profiles.. Try it now lemme know =) ~

Hi, i have a question about setCPU. Can it on rooted XPS with Stock ICS kernel (build 6.1.A.2.45) control CPU voltage?
Or it's a limited feature available only for custom kernels? I have a locked bootloader so no custom kernels for me
Thanks (don't want to buy it now a regret it)

No voltage control on any stock kernels for any devices. Only custom kernels offer that.
Hi, two days before i installed the rom "CM7-APOCALYPSE-FINAL [09.07.12]" with the last FireKernel (28.08.2012) Non OC Official CM (tried install the nonofficial, but bluetooh doesn't work).
And it seems that mobile phone are hot... the temperature is between 30ºC-35ºC/36ºC, this is normal? Unfortunately i didn't notice the temperature of stock rom and didn't find many info in the internet...
Thanks for support
Mine is at 30.8c atm, screen has been on for about 10minutes.
Use set CPU to lower the cpu usage, set it to smartassV2.
Normal Enough. I've reached till 50 under performance governer with overclocked to 806Mhz in under 10 min while playing Real Football.

hello sir, i currently have PAC rom installed on my galaxy ace by nims11; sir now i wish to flash Apocalypse ROM on my galaxy ace, so can i directly flash this ROM or is there anything more i need to take care of? Is there any danger of bricking the device?
Thanks for your help.
I'm having some serious lag when using data-related apps such as TuneIn, Google Now and Dolphin Browser. Also happens when downloading. Other times it works completely fine then once I open any of these apps, it lags like there's no tomorrow..
On stock LIB rom with Siyah 1.6 rc3, CPU/GPU overclocked 1600MHz and undervolted (25-50mV).
OCUV doesn't seem to be the problem as stress tests and graphic benchmarks are completely fine with no errors, and since this has been happening even before I did anything, albeit to a less serious level.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue? Can't even undervolt too much because of this..
why don't you try using stock Rom for a while with out any undervolting or over cloaking and check the performance of your phone?
I guess that would be the only option for now?
will try that.

same problem with i thought it from undervolting or kernel problem I've tried it with stock kernel same issue exist i think it's jellybean problem.:crying:
redownloaded stock, flashed, undervolted 25-150mV, all seem okay now.
will wait to wait and see a few days but so far so good. I'm not gonna undervolt too much on the higher clocks as I'm only expecting battery extension on lower clocks, ie when in sleep or screen off.

I opened a thread in the sony forums: Check the Thread here: Click me
Update: Seems it's just related to the Xperia Go. Reports are saying that it doesnt happen on the U and Sola so far.
Hello everybody,
I installed the ICS update for my gf a few days ago and she complains a bit that it feels laggy.
Well I looked at it and removed any bloatware and most of the running background apps.
I got now always about 60-100 mb ram free. But also with 100Mb ram free it feels laggy on the launcher when scrolling through the pages.
Ticking/Unticking GPU rendering and turning off all animations, wallpaper scrolling etc. improoved it a bit but the lags are still visible.
Then I had a look at the fps and I think I found the issue.
I installed an app called FPS Meter from the market, which gives you an overlay on your screen an shows the fps.
My findings:
If you put your device to the charger it will give you fps between 65 and 70 when swyping through your homescreens.
Without charger your just get about 37 frames!?!
Another finding is, that after you turn your screen on, the scrolling is smooth for a few seconds, you will get the same fps when put to the charger.
But after that few seconds it will drop again to about 37 fps.
Same goes for a specific timespan after unplugging your charger. You will notice that your frames stay high for a few seconds after unpluggin, but after a while it will drop to 37 frames again.
I can reproduce taht issue as often as I want, try it yourself (-:
I'm a developer myself and was active for a while in mobile development as well. Smells definatly like a bug...at least on the user side.
Maybe it should be a feature to save battery life. I've seen a similar a bug/feature on HTC's side as well, they called it HTC smartsync, which turns wifi/data off after 15 minutes between 2am and 7 am. That feature was comfirmed by HTC and should save battery life in the night...bad for use that night shift at work and need a mobile connection? (-:. That feature was present on ICS, but they removed it on Jellybean...sorry for the little off topic.
Should be a kernel related issue in that case and I hope some sony devs will react to it and provide a fixed kernel.
Regards Jan.

Well as far as I know sony is much more open to such things as HTC.
Lets show some activity there and move the discussion to their forums instead of posting here, maybe we get on that way some attention and hopefully another kernel that removes the fps cap.
So @ all, if you want to say something, post it in the sony dicussion thread:

The governor controls the cpu clock and has nothing to do with the fps (gpu)? (-:
yes, it has, just tried it.
On performance i get between the 50 and 108 fps when scrolling in launcher

Well I guess you are on a custom kernel.
Doubt that the stock kernel comes with different governors.
