I've done numerous tests with and without OC and on different kernels (both normal and custom). So far SetCPU have only given me headaches. Random crashes, unable to wakeup, kernel panics... The list goes on.
According to these tests I've come to the conclusion that SetCPU is very unstable on Galaxy S and should not be considered supported at all.
What's your experience with SetCPU on Galaxy S? Is it conclusive with mine? Do you experience the same problems with Overclock Widget, or is it more stable?
after using setcpu for a few weeks and getting similar problems, i removed it.
There is pretty much no use in it for this phone, they allready scale from 100mhz - max speed (even oc if you have one) automatically

Are you using a task manager? I had the same problem as you until I removed the auto task killer I had previously installed. Now I can set setcpu to 100000 min 1000000 max ondemand for main with a profile of screen off 100000 min 1000000 max conservative.

Yes. I have the same problem on my stock SGS.
Setcpu is not working good on sgs. Try to remove it, and you'll get better battery life.

I don't know of anyone who has tested it on the I9000 (and there may even be alternatives or the same thing floating around the development subforum), but they claim to have a 1.2ghz overclocked kernel here for the I9000. Maybe best to be avoided, but a 100% use at your own risk alternative, especially if you're a bit unsure on any of the translated steps, is available here.

been using it on a vibrant for about 10 days and had my first issue last nite - it froze the phone - had to remove battery to reboot, tried again, froze it again
i thought it was the last two apps i'd installed so i removed them, then there was an update, downloaded and installed, so i did a number of settngs changes, closing setcpu, running benchmark quad, reopening & changing settings etc
about half dozen times
and it's been fine so far -
I had the same issue. I would pull my phone out of my pocket and it wouldn't wake up. I could call my phone and it would ring but my phone would do nothing until I removed the battery and re-booted. This happened numerous times until I uninstalled SETCPU and it stopped doing that so I knew I found the culprit and haven't tried it again since (I need to receive calls as priority 1)
doesnt anyone search anymore i posted this issue over a month ago. setting cpu mode to anything on than conservative can cause freezes as the system doesnt get enough cpu to wake up.. it is even mentioned in set cpu to use conservative.

I have it set to Conservative on my Vibrant, and I'm having the same issues as the OP.
Edit: When I go into SetCPU after pulling the battery and resetting, it shows it's limiting my CPU to 19.2 MHz. Yes, 19.2. Insane.

I killed my task manager service, and it didn't freeze up! I'm going to uninstall the task manager and see if I have any more freezing issues in the future.
Edit: Nope, didn't work. Removing SetCPU.

I have the Vibrant version with T-Mo. After rooting, Titanium, Barnacle and Root Explorer all seem to be working fine.
After a few minutes of installing SetCPU, my phone wouldn't wake up. Rebooted twice, same results.
Removed SetCPU and the phone's working fine again. Maybe the minimum speed should be set at 250 or so?

To begin with, you don't even need SetCPU
SGS phone automatically regulates the speed of the CPU depending on your usage.
most of the time in Stock ROM it hover around 200 Mhz, very few times it uses the max 1000 Mhz
only when there are lots of background apps running
when you runt he CPU at 1000 Mhz it gets hot fast, and it consumes more battery
good thing is it drops back down to 100~200 Mhz as soon as it's done with the heavy tasks
so having the SetCPU installed will defeat the whole purpose of power saving and CPU cycle on demand

I don't even remember the last time where we had a fixed clock on a cpu Allgamer. The point of setcpu is to either downclock or overclock your cpu. You might want to limit your clock to 0.6GHz just to save some juice.
Anyway, after a few hours of head scratching and 2 reboots, I uninstalled and refunded it.
I agree. Setcpu is rather unstable. I have feeling lots of the kernel overclockers have problems but blame the kernel while they should blame setcpu
i have just installed setcpu. it's probably been about a day or so now and i have not experienced any problems?
i have an Australian model (I9000) just flashed to the canadian firmware for the 3br fix.
Is it just generally not recommended to use setcpu on my SGS?
please advise. Thanks

It depends on what you're using it for. If you know what you're doing, it can be a useful tool. If you want to overclock, you'll want setcpu. If you want to underclock (lets say you're out and about, with 40% battery), then you can set the maximum cpu speed lower so that the battery will last longer.
You don't need setcpu if you're simply going to tell it that you want your max speed to be 1ghz, with a min of 100mhz and you want it to be "conservative". Your phone does that by default, and frankly the SGS is pretty good on its own when it comes to battery management.
thanks reuthermonkey, i will keep that in mind.
What are the perfect setcpu 2.0.3 settings for froyo JP6 I9000 rooted? Thanx in advance

Menu and rescan the device should restore the normal values. those values are not the ones actually used!
Has anyone underclocked their O2X? I personally think that overclock is a bit of a placebo effect so I just want to know if anyone has underclocked their phone and if they can kindly share the performance of the phone as well as some benchmarks. I've seen people underclock their Galaxy S2 right down to 500mhz and performance is very smooth! Is O2X similar?
I didn't do any benchmarks (speaking of placebo effect ) but I use setcpu with vorkkernel so that my top frequency gets more and more limited with the battery level and overnight. This way I manage to only loose 1-2% during the night and the phone alive for a couple of hours when under 15%.
I noticed a certain UI lag when under 500mhz but not so much in the graphics department, I guess the gpu has it's own clock.
I have underclock/undervolt to 800Mhz/900mV and works very smoothly
just got setcpu... those profiles are awesome
Lg home is a memory hog and seems to be quite cpu intensive compared to most other home apps but if using a dif homescreen then maybe it will still perform smoothly otherwise i doubt it will perform good.
Hi... I have installed cynogenmod 7.1 Stable. In Performance > CPU Settings, it shows 216/1000MHz as the only available frequency. I installed SetCPU, it closes saying some error.
Can you please tell me what I have to do, basically I want to underclock it for battery issues.
Thanks
Just undervolted all default values by 100mV, stress test running perfect. CPU at 52C on a 18ish ambient day.
I have 3 setcpu profiles on stock.
In call : 312/216
Screen off : 216/216
Battery <100% : 760/216
Getting amazing stand by time, 2h 30m since I unplugged the charger and only 1% battery spent.
Getting decent results during use as well, or atleast thats what I call it. Earlier today I went through 400+ google reader articles over wifi and watch accompanying youtube videos and also checked some external links. After about 30 mins I lost 7-10% battery. I think thats good enough, unless someone here is about to blow my mind with their results
3h and 30m now still at 99%.
5 minutes of evernote and battery at 95% now. Sooo unsatisfying.

Neoblaze, from SP2.

all stock from Topogigi's built.
Do you have google video calling via front cam ? That's all I care about and I cant find the answer anywhere.
My lg might be getting decent battery life but the entire operation/daily use experience is very bad. Last night I used subsonic to stream my home library to my phone and while I listened to it I read stuff on google reader and then everything started to lag. Just setting the max and min isn't working well for me. I ran antutu last night and got 4500ish numbers with setcpu and juicedefender off and You are getting 6500+

Post more info, what rom, kernel etc. I set my max to 600 and I get good battery but it takes all the fun out of using it, everything lags. You can still do things sure but I dont like lag.

100% stock rom + over it.
the version is 2.2.2 v20b
nothing lags. the only diference i see is thet lock screen sart to respond about 1second after power button is pressed. before it was instant.
Thanks for the info. I'm on v21b rooted with setcpu max set to 600ish and there is noticeable lag everywhere. Feels like how the phone was when I first got it and had to replace the lg launcher to get rid of the lag.

6500+ is when I overclock to 1,4GHz.
it's only for benchmark, and not for daily use.

battery life is about 24h of normal use.
I always connected to wifi.
oh, and I replace LG Home Launcher with Xperia Launcer.
it's lighter, no lag even use lower clock speed.
Hey guys,
I just wondered if you guys have the same problem that you lose 1% battery every 2 minutes when you´re having your display on. I know it´s quite known that big screens suck the battery like a vampire but that´s just odd, because I don´t even have to do anything with the phone just staring at the activated display.
I´ve had these troubles from the beginning with FW 10G then updatet to 10H and did factory reset- nothing changed. I tried different brightness levels without any differences in battery consumption, which is totally uncommon. And the freaky thing is there is no difference whether I have airplanemod on, wifi turned off and so on. It is always the same... Although when the display is off there is as good as no consumption but really 1% battery per 2 minutes that´s just sick. I can´t believe it.
Now i wondered if this is normal or if I should turn it to the customers service to check it.
Please tell me if you explored the same things with your LG 4X HD
Well i found it odd too but if you would root the phone and install something like setcpu you would actually see
Min CPU Freq --------------- 1.5 GHz
Max CPU Freq -------------- 1.5 Ghz
Er yeah .... after saying that i think you know why its using the battery so fast. I rooted my brothers phone and changed the clockspeeds , but no matter how low i set the min freq on "no frills cpu control" it always shows on the toast message 750 Mhz or somewhere around that.

Well thank you... I´ve rooted it and thought it had something to do with apps running in the background but it didn´t help at all so I thought this can´t be, mine must be wrong somehow.
Especially because i haven´t heard anything in reviews or forums about this rapid battery drain. This is something I´m wondering most, how can a phone taking so much battery be rated so high It sucked 3% watching a 3 minute video on youtube...
I won´t think I´m going to be happy with this phone and the best is when I contacted customers service later today they told me to send it in because its not normal, but now that you said the cpu is set this high no matter what, I can just suggest they don´t know anything about their phones...
Bet the only reward I get sending it in is "all is fine our phone likes to suck your battery, so what? Just keep the display off"
Screen off "deep sleep" battery drain is quite bad too ..

For me. The battery says its fully charged after 1hr. But it actually takes 3-4hrs befire it reaches the absolute full capacity.
Battery lasts twice as long then...

Hey guys i have a problem kinda with my xperia sp.... The second core is always offline even when the cpu governor is set to performance.... Why is that???
I run stock rom 2.254 stock kernel and i am rooted.
The offline info came from the app trickster mod

The phone will only use the second processor when it can't manage the tasks with just the first core( I saw the online/offline with system monitor ). Only uses 2nd core when neccesary, so it's not a lazy core

No, it'll get the core online when needed. If you force both cores to be online constantly your battery will drain within hours.. Massive battery drain because of a core you don't use at all, but still is online

Thanks i downloaded an app that tracks cpu use in both cores mine seconds wakes up quite frequently despite the offline status on Trcickster mod....
Thank you.
The last days my girlfriend is complaining about battery drain in her i8190. I installed No-Frills CPU and it seems that the min CPU frequency is stuck at 1GHZ. Applying the 200MHz setting does nothing, when i restart the app i see that the min freq is 1ghz again. The phone is with stock rooted firmware (XXAMJ3).
Any ideas about this really annoying problem?

Did you or your girlfriend change the CPU governor to performance? No-frills CPU control can change the CPU governor. Try it out
Or
Set the phone in airplane mode and reboot the phone if it still didn't work then please attach/send some screenshots from the battery statistics in settings > battery in this thread.
P.S : Download "CPU spy" from play store and check if only 1GHz is in use.
She hasn't change the cpu governor (was with ondemand). The trick with airplane mode didn't work either!
These are two screens from no frills and cpuz where you can see the problem. I checked yesterday the real battery performance, it didn't seem that bad. Was 100% to 35% in about 9 hours with 2 hours screen on time. But isn't that strange, the min freq bug?
