[Q] CPU not using any speed other than max. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I have looked around and completed a few searches but cannot find any direct answers to this.
I have CPU Spy installed and have been checking it off and on since I got the phone. I have noticed that my phone does not run at any speed other than the absolute max. The phone does go into Deep Sleep without issue, but the only CPU speed it uses is 1728. I have tried a few ROMS without any change.
Currently running Juggernaut 5.0 with Darky's Kernal.
I have tried different Governers. I have tried Antutu's CPU Master, SetCPU and No-Frills. I just cannot get this phone to run anything other than MAX speed. Since I am constantly having things run in the background like music, this is effecting my battery life.
Anyone have any input, ideas or suggestions? Other than running stock.

Turn down your minimum CPU settings in set CPU and check set on boot?

You've done just about everything possible. Only option left it to Odin back to stock, root it and check cpu Spy to see if it is acting normal. If it is back to normal flash back to your favorite distro!
Perhaps something got messed up along the way of flashing all those roms? Shouldn't, but you never know.

I was really hoping it would not come to this :'(
*update....
I re-flashed Darky's Kernal and removed all OC apps and now I am showing full utilization of the different seed steps.
Quite glad it did not result in me having to start over again.

Which kernel should I have if I just want OC?

My phone is rooted and has s-off but I have a few issues. One is almost half the time when I hit the power button the screen doesn't turn on instantly but the soft buttons light up. It usually takes me hitting it 2-3 times swiftly to get my screen on. Another issue is sometimes wifi calling gets screwed up so it doesn't work and it drains my battery as a background task stuck on restarting. I really only want my phone overclocked so just have baconbits kernel. is there a newer version I should put on that fixes these issues?

Baconbits, to my knowledge, is the only OCd kernel available for the stock ROM. Your screen issue might actually be caused by underclocking though, do you have a screen off profile or a minimum set?

I just have it set to 368-1497. Should I up the minimum?

Give the overclock widget a try. Its available free on the market. In the advanced setting, set your screen off profile to 245 min and 806 max. Scroll down and hit "save" before you exit settings. That will keep your phone running at stock speeds while the screen is off and should stop the wake issue you're having. When you're using the phone you'll be at the higher speeds.
I already had the widget. Did what you said but it still occurs.

245 is *way* too low, especially if you have things running in the background ... just start raising the lower end up until it stops happening.

Setting it to stay at 800 while the screen is off seemed to fix it. Any ideas about wifi calling bugging out? It usually doesn't happen very often, I think when my phone has been on for a while without a restart.
overclock widget doesn't overclock anything.... it controls the speeds AFTER you've installed an overclock kernel. I highly suggest using flippys turbocharged 1.8ghz kernel. Just because it is capable of 1.8ghz doesn't mean that you need to run it at 1.8ghz. you can just do something like 1.1 or something in between. Give it a look.

Nobody said the OC widget overclocked anything. Did you read the OP's first post? It was suggested so as to enable a screen off profile because the OP is having a wake issue while using baconbits.

set the off screen profile to the lowest speed 200/200mhz and 100% priority and he wont have anymore wake issues, don't know what I was reading hahaha
The screen on issue doesn't happen anymore but I'm not satisfied with my battery life. In the past something was causing my battery to drain insanely fast so I un installed a bunch of unused apps and started checking background tasks but when browsing the internet for 20 minutes on my way home I use 30% of the battery, bluetooth on.

Anyone know if it is possible to run Pershoot's kernel on the stock rom that comes with the device? Any side effects?
I don't know enough to say 100% one way or the other, but I read in a post I can't find right now that only BaconBits is made to work with the stock rom.
FWIW, I tried to flash the 1.8 GHz kernal on my stock G2 this morning, and got stuck in a boot loop.
On AndroidCentral people are saying they have improved battery life with CM7 nightlies. I'd like to try running a ROM finally. Do I need to get rid of my Baconbits kernel before proceeding? I already backed up everything with Titanium.

NO. The first thing you need to do is flash clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, which is totally different than ROM Manager. As of right now the latest clockworkmod available through ROM Manager is 2.5.1.3. If you haven't flashed that yet (2.5.1.3) do that first through ROM Manager. The best way to flash 3.0.0.5 is to find the .img file, place it on your sd card and run the commands from terminal emulator. After that just wipe data/factory reset, wipe davlik cache and flash the latest nightly .zip, reboot, then the latest gapps .zip. Go to the development forum and the first post in the nightly vendor vision thread has all the links you'll need.

Question for rooted stock GB PLEASE HELP!!

ok so im running the STOCK GB but im rooted and have been running gingertiny 9/29 ran into rebooting issues.. phone constently reboots after 20 mins of use. usually when this happened before like on stock kernels the battery temp would rise up to 104 but i kept eyes on the temp and it never goes over 78.4 F
not overclocking cpu im actually running at about 625 mhz but issue still occurs
SO with that being said i need help finding either a better kernal or trying to find solutions with this one.
i went back to complete stock and rooted to see if i still have this issue
any help will do thanks!
These questions belong in the Q/A section. This has zero relevance to development.
Now:
1) pull the battery then place it back into your phone.
2) Charge it awhile to make sure you haven't dropped a considerable charge during the bootloops.
3) Turn your phone on and move your clock speed towards 998400 (stock clock speed) via setcpu or however you underclocked.
This bootloop is likely due to you being underclocked so low. If you want, flash Tiny's latest kernel from 9/29/2011 to bring yourself up to date.
Was your min clock speed underclocked below the stock 245000? I had random reboot issues when I underclocked my min to 128000.
Having your max_freq set at 628 or whatever it was shouldn't cause reboot issues. You're phone should be rock-solid stable at a speed like that. I'd suggest taking a look at your voltages.
I've never run that kernel so I'm not familiar with what the voltage table looks like, but it might very well be that your voltage is too low. If your max_freq were higher, the transition through that clock freq would probably be too brief to cause an issue. I don't know if that kernel has sysfs enabled, but if it does, upping the voltage at that step .25 volts should cure it.
Min speed was at 628 even switching back to stock kernel still having issues I'm not sure what can be the issue I only last few mins playing any games or watching anything all speeds are stock

CPU Frequencies Won't Stick

I downloaded Rom Toolbox Pro last night and attempted to use the CPU Controller part of the app and for the life of me I could not get the minimum frequency to stick. I kept dragging it down, like I had setcpu set up, and when I would exit the program then open it back up, the minimum frequency had jumped back up. If I went to re-install SETCPU I was able to change the minimum frequency and it would stick just fine. Anyone else had any trouble getting the frequencies to stick?
I also tried this on CPU Master and the minimum frequency wouldn't stick there either. Anyone have any ideas?
I am on FreeGS3v0.0.9

I'm having the same problem with the max frequency not sticking I'll set it to 2265 exit performance settings and a minute later go back in and it will have underclocked itself to various settings I've tried many different CPU control apps and none of them are able to get a lock

[Q] Trinity Kernel settings

I reflashed stock JB kernel the other day and found my phone to be running very smoothly. But I can't stand the colours on my purply screen, so back to Trinity (latest stable release).
The problem is, I'm getting a lot of lag and jerkiness on Trinity. Google Now takes forever to load, responsiveness takes a hit, and it generally feels like that whole "Project Butter" has turned into cold chunks of margarine.
I did buy the Trinity app to change settings. Is there anything I should be doing with Trinity that would give me stock-like smoothness and performance? I have a feeling there is some default setting in Trinity that is supposed to be helpful for some users but for me it's just killing the experience.
Or alternately, would I get better results with Franco?
I had similar issues. Not flowing very well , reboots and crashes. Also even though I bought the trinity app changing the clock speeds made the phone very very unresponsive. Tried many times to install it but no luck. Swapped back to Franco / glados (tried air kernel which was nice for battery but a bit laggy)
Franco also has trinity settings you can play with

Me personally had a better experience than Franco. But all the phone are different and some might like trinity and some might like Franco. Seems like yours like Franco more
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
Personally I've had ridiculously good results with Trinity - with 384 GPU, not 512 (1536-384-Stable35). Absolute butter even when I have very resource heavy, multiple, tasks running - and havn't had a forced reboot, freeze or anything of the sort even once. Interactive/SIO, min 307, max 1190. Everything else on default (except screen colours/gamma which I changed to my liking).
That said, if the 384 GPU is also not working for you I suppose you can give Franco or the other kernels a try, every phone set probably responds a little differently to each kernel.

try using supersu instead of superuser. also, update your busybox. a lot of people have issues with root apps obtaining su slowly with superuser on jelly bean, which leads to lag.
I have good flow with trinity kernels. No lag or unresponsivness

Already doing both, thanks for the input.
I'm using 1344/307 and I also previously tried 1536/384. My phone seems to have some overheating issues so I don't want to crank it too hard... Just want to get close to stock performance.
I'll try interactive / sio. Are those essentially what the stock kernel uses?

i like ondemand/deadline. overheating.. whats your cpu temperature? most think that their devices are overheating when it falls in the normal range. tkt comes with widgets(in the app drawer widget menu), put the no background cpu temp widget on your homescreen and youll also get a cpu temperature reading in your status bar. at 100C the thermal throttle will kick in to lower your cpu speed and cool down your device. the safety shutdown temperature is 110C, your cpu will automatically shut down at that point. 110C is only reachable if you turn off the thermal throttle in the tkt app and you are benching your phone at a high oc. otherwise, i wouldnt worry about overheating.
The other thing is I get lockups every day or three. Today I rebooted the phone and plugged in the charger while it was rebooting. The moment the screen went off the phone was locked up. Power button would not respond. Unplugging/plugging the charger did not light up the screen. Had to do a battery pull.
In fact this happened again a second time in a row. Is there a reason the phone is locking up immediately after boot if I have the charger in? I'm trying it again a third time with the charger out, letting the screen auto-sleep before I touch the phone. Okay apparently it has nothing to do with the charger.
EVERY time I start the phone up now, if I don't unlock the screen myself before it auto-sleeps, the phone locks up and auto-reboots again. WTF??

are you undervolting at all? which yrinity kernel are you using? did you happen to use franco kernel before using trinity? try using a different charger too, ive had similar issues with a certain charger before too, until i started using a different charger.
Despite the fact that I disabled "Set On Boot" in Trinity Kernel Toolbox, it does seem I'm still set to interactive/sio on boot. And check out the logcat I captured over USB when I was doing a reboot and it locked up:
http://pastebin.com/sSe9eFXT
In particular to trim out just the TKT lines and the last few lines before lockup:
Code:

So it would seem that right after TKT says "let's restore settings" it locks up, if the screen is off, when set to interactive/sio. Huh?

See my post immediately after yours.
No undervolting at least that I know of. I tried cranking max screen off frequency up in case that was the cause, and tried going back to default CPU settings. Still does the same upon reboot.
But I can confirm that if I uninstall TKT completely and boot with Trinity Kernel, there is no screen-off lockup. Whatever settings were being restored by TKT were causing the phone to freeze if the screen was off. I'll leave it at that for now and give it another go when it's not so lovely and sunny outside.

delete the data for the tkt app(main phone settings, apps). dont use set on boot, its usually not a good idea. my screen off is set to 307. if you are overclocking, you have to disable smart reflex mpu or you will freeze and reboot if not other issues. turning off smart reflex is very important if raising the cpu speed. otherwise the device will try to automatically set the voltage too low for the cpu speed and itll cause freezes/reboots.

smart reflex is a built into stock, it controls your voltages. the thing about it is that it doesnt know overclock or undervolting, so if you overclock or undervolt, it restores voltages for stock cpu speeds. which causes freezes if youre trying to overclock by setting the voltages too low.

Yes, set on boot is for critical settings only, like frequency policy and voltages.
All trivial settings are always restored as they were set.
What ROM are you on? I jumped into the middle of this page and missed it.

cpu speed

since i cant post this in the dev for cm10 i have to post this here. i installed it last night on my phone and everything has been running pretty good. i understand its still a wip so im not complaining. what has come to my attention is the fact that my phone now likes to run at 1026 no matter how low i set it at. if its sitting there itll change to 384. when i was on stock rom rooted and unlocked, it would never change speed on powersave. now if i go into antutu or just performance under settings minimum will always change to 1026. i havent had a chance to really test if its affecting my battery life but i can let someone know. im bringing it up so maybe the devs can have their way with it. if theres any way i can help, just let me know.
0328 update
with the latest update the speed issue is still there and the camera has been improved although i havent tried video yet. but on 0327 it has like a staircase set up on the upper lefthand side of the screen. did a wipe and fresh 0328 so ill see how that goes. keep up the great work and as always let me know if there is anything i can do to help.
update:recorded video still has issue but nexus7 camera apps work perfectly to get to camera here. flash or the camera worked once and hasnt worked since. still a great rom.
It looks like you're not using the latest cm10 builds, you need to hit the "next" thing on the top right of the download page.
I recommend taking a spin with the houcha kernel. It's pretty much fixed the cpu stuff, and intellidemand governor is amazing; Turns off 3 cores when nothing is taxing and idles at correct minimums.
They are always up to date with the cm10 kernel commits as well.
I get amazing battery life.

0429 update
yeah. its running pretty good. the video recording is fixed so that helps me out at work. with all the phones and tablets i have, i havent installed another kernal so thats the only thing im a little sketchy on doing. but since you recommend it i think i have to give it a look. if theres anything i should know about it, just let me know.
I was on the latest update but I just fat fingered my posts and wasn't double checking it. Just had to install a keyboard that better suites me.
update-flash on the camera work only when i use touch to focus. does that kernal help with that?
clean install of 5/5
Did a clean install last night with standard 4.2.2 gapps. Camera icon has has appeared without the need to install a 3rd party app to access it. Battery life is about the same as before with installing a different kernel. As my daily driver I would recommend it all the way. Follow the forums specific to the ROM and you can't go wrong. I'll keep updating about the progress until I can post on there.
powersave for cm10.1
If you want to get powersave to work correctly; 1.set both speeds to the same number 2.must be below 1026.
If you set them both to 1026, they will stay at that speed. If you set them to two different numbers the minimum and maximum will default to 1026 and1350, respectively, when the system feels it needs the power above 384 and will stay there. Hopefully this will help someone out.
The reason the cpu speed gets raised to 1026 is due to mpdecision. It boosts the cpu speed on touch to increase the interactivity and decrease the lag. mpdecision is a qcom blob and since we are trying to stay as close to mako as possible these is nothing I can do about that blob.
Then I guess my question is why on stock I can run at 384 min with max at 1512 on powersave and it'll actually run at 384 but this cant?
fine for me
I have not really had this problem at all weird

So what min and max speeds is your phone set at? What speed does it end up at after using it for 5 mins on the net?
5/14
my powersave settings with the max at 1512 and min at 384 seemed to stick longer than normal with this rom. im going to backup everything, revert back to zvb and then do a clean install of the latest and see how that fairs.
Did a full restore of my phone back to zvb. Did all the GPS stuff I needed to, rooted and unlocked. Proceeded to do a full wipe and install of 5/27 ROM. Speed issue still there but as noted before I found a small workaround and randomly today I got a message that maps had stopped working.
I did play around with the ROM before install gapps and found some interesting things. None really stuck out except Bluetooth not working at all.
After installing gapps, everything seems to work perfectly. Downloading 5/28 right now and dont expect much to change. Some updates hold my speed settings and some dont. Not really an issue.
6/1 build
powersave function was working correctly with the max at 1512 and the min at 384 right after initial update. using antutu the temp and battery level would be displayed incorrectly. after the first reboot though, everything went back to "normal." but on the brightside if you set the max to 918 and the min at 384 on powersave, it appears to now stay that way. no more having to set them both at the same speed. i will continue to play with the speed settings and see if anything else comes up.
