[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I've always read in the past that the app doesnt actually help with battery life because its purpose was for OCing and Android regulates the cpu clocks already.

So I'm wondering, for those currently using it, have you noticed any difference in battery life (without underclocking while in use)? and if so what profiles are you using?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
I have just one profile, screen off= 216/216. I'm now on 14 hours with 30% left. Much better than before, when I was getting 11 hours at the most.

I also use the battery calibration app. But that's all I've done.

Just want to add I use wifi calling, and I run everything else, gps and syncing gmail and facebook is on. Screen is set to auto brightness. The only thing I have off is bluetooth.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
I do the same.. just 1 screen off profile to underclock it to 216/216 when the screen is off
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
Android does regulate the cpu, but I don't think it will take advantage of more conservative governor modes unless you tell it to. That's only relevant if the kernel supports more conservative governor modes. And, as the other responses have pointed out, you can force Android to be more conservative by capping the max clock speed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Hmm... Guess its worth a shot. Good lookin out guys.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
when i go into setcpu there are alot of options to choose there is no auto detect like on my mytouch 4g. how did you guys get it to work. i picked the last option which was custom and it forced close on me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Yeah.. When I hit the tegra 2 option it wont let me change the governor.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] socalTNT:
You need to be rooted so that you can let set CPU have super user access. Are you rooted yet?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jayohwhy:
I think that that means that the kernel is not supported for the "automatic" governors. However, you can still create profiles to regulate the CPU based on perameters that you set, i.e. Screen off 216/216
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rhinology:
So all G2x see the same in setcpu - no autodetect and only governor available is "driver"?

Will custom ROMs like CM7 change this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheMightiest1981:
SetCPU improved my battery life tremendously! Before I was losing about 15-30% and hour, since 8:30 this morning my battery only dropped to 73%. I set my active profile between 457mhz and 816mhz depending on remaining battery and it's still fast as hell.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jayohwhy:
From what I've heard, yes, that is what every g2x setcpu user sees. I don't know whether CM7 will fix this, or maybe later versions of setcpu
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dnichols4:
Once we get some custom kernels, we should be able to change the governors in setCPU, dependent upon on what the kernel supports.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] frekio:
SetCPU Custom Frequencies for G2X

I got SetCPU today and was playing around with it and it looked like it was limiting my CPU all the time due to lack of profile, not just when I had the screen off per my profile so I looked into making a text file for custom frequencies and am posting it here since there doesn't seem to be any help for g2x with it.

This is a really simple file, tell me if you guys have any better ideas, I just put in:

216000,528000,712400,1000000

I'm attaching it. I put the file in my dropbox, grabbed it via the app and then moved it to /sdcard/setcpu.txt via astro file manager then loaded custom profile from within setcpu. Hopefully this saves someone some time or you can tell me if I'm going about this the wrong way :)

I'm sure it could be fine tuned more but I was getting irritated at how much of a pain it was to unlock the phone with it set too low, so for screen off I have it set to 216->528. You could add 254000 in or something. The phone seems to be as usable as before now with setcpu enabled like this while it should be limiting the cpu when the screen is off. It sucked (well not the battery) without a custom profile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
rooted?????? what is that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Yep, I agree. My phone has been off the charger for almost 9 hours, and I'm at 70%.

I have everything on, including wifi calling, and one profile in Setcpu for screen off 216/216.

Also used the battery calibration app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Im assuming u did little to no use. I did moderate use and im down to 52% after 4hrs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I tried that 216/216 profile and got the sleep of death followed by reboot loop every few minutes after the phone booted. wouldn't stop till I manually powered the phone down then back on. oh well... my phone idles fine anyway. wonder what clock speed android idles at by default.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Actually, your assumption is wrong, as is often the case.

I'd quantify it more as normal use. Lots of texts, some games of Pro pool, a few phone calls, checking Pulse 3-4 times during the day for 10 minutes at a time, some mild web browsing and watching a few youtube videos.

I ended up at around 18-19 hours of of use.

Today, I'm off the charger for 8 hours, and I still have 45% left, and I would say that's with some moderate to heavy use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Try upping it to 216/312 or a tad higher and you should be fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Yeah I was gonna but I'm pretty sure android Idles lower at a lower frequency than that assuming nothing cpu intensive is running in the background which isnt the case for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] creid2352:
So SetCPU is safe to use?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Oh its safe to use... I'm just questioning its usefulness. And looking at the poll it looks like im right to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
just my experience...

did the HTC battery conditioning and wiped battery stats at 100% charge, and then I set my SetCPU screen off 216/216 profile. I noticed a dramatic improvement in battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Does anyone know Android default idle behavior? In the Vibrant section it was always said that it idles at 100mhz.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
i know this might sound trivial, but i've noticed that when you setcpu to 216 for when display is off, it screws up the unlock pattern. I've switched to default, which is the typical lock screen, but when i used to have a pattern, it would totally screw it up when coming out of "sleep"

If that didn't make any sense, allow me to break it down

w/ pattern

1. display is off

2. hit power button to bring up lock pattern

3. <a few things could happen here>

a. screen would go back to sleep

b. lock pattern would display, but would not respond to touch

c. lock pattern would display, but as you're entering the pattern it goes back to sleep

d. pattern would be accepted and screen would be unlocked

As you can imagine, there were too many frustrating possibilities, and I eventually just disabled setCPU. I then tried a lockscreen widget and was going to use that, but my camera wouldn't work, so I uninstalled the widget, but I kept the default lock screen. I renabled setCPU and I notice that it takes significantly longer for the lockscreen to show up. I guess this can be expected, but just wanted to know if this was everyone else's experience as well...

im rooted, but on stock rom
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
It's going to be different from phone to phone and user to user. My log cat said my G2X was idling around 300. After creating the screen off profile in SetCPU and under clocking my CPU, I noticed almost 2 hours improvement and haven't had any problems. It works on the G2X and has worked on all of my past phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] propain4444:
Same here, 312/312 solved the problem for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
I hope its my network and not the phone because I love it! At my home in my house I get frequent disconnects and the 4G keeps shifting to 2G. Outside in my driveway it gives me 1-2 bars and none sometimes until I drive out about 10 blocks then it gets better If I'm out and around with in 1-2 miles it get better but still it keeps dropping to 2G intermittantly. I get 3 miles out and I get 2500 down and 500 up when the 4G stays on and 3 bars. Now before I got this phone I had MetroPCS and I had a bad connection from my home always, then my Virgin Mobile phone was better. Now with T-Mobile I would think it woud be better but no...it's worse. T-Mobile says they are going to send a technician with in 3-4 days to check out the problem if there is one. I guess if within 1 week nothing gets better and T-Mobile has nothing more to say I'm returning the phone. I called LG but they cant help, there powerless due to the tornados. The representative said, that based on my explanation it seems to be a network problem. Any ideas? Anyone else having problems? I see some other threads with some issues but not too much detail. I'll update when something happens

So my HD2 will turn on however it only loads to a white screen. I have tried flashing several stock roms and even tried the HD2 leo update through the bootloader but it will only load one percent then the phone resets.

Any suggestions?

Sidenote, the HD2 was purchased via eBay and my smart self didn't read the entire item description about the white screen till after i won the bid. Major fail on my end.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CRACING:
Is it the bootloader also in white screen in the device while flashing?

If it is, its the hardware problem and if it isn't, then its software problem. Make sure you are flashing the correct official ROM. Also try different RUU.

Let me know...

Thanks...

[EVO 4G General] monkeybone12:
I've been working on repairing my own Evo, and ran into an issue where the middleplate I bought from China did not come with the wiring tape / Antenna... so I bought one of these.. BUT I had to buy two. Anyone need one? It is on the way, but I won't have a need for two middleplates... PM me and we can work something out. $15 bucks.

This is who I used:

You can get the tools from Ebay for a couple of bucks. I've never done anything like this and so far so good. I've seen people substitute a guitar pick for the "safe pry tool" but I splurged.

There are many videos on doing this, hence where I got the ol idea, and it really isn't too hard, I just couldn't transfer the antenna from the old middle plate to the new one.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergroverthm:
It's not about the ROM or the gTablet, your COMPUTER will not automatically load. Follow the instructions on the link for NVFlash and you should be back in business.

Now, I'm guessing that you've already tried to install clockwork mod via microSD? if that won't work, can try via NVFlash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058649 which will allow you to keep the ROM and you maybe be able to get out of the bootloop by clearing the caches.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRo80:
If the clockwork mod is accessed by volume + and power button, I can still access that. It says Clockwork Recovery.

Does this change anything?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergroverthm:
Yes! There's a thread about looping and the fix was easy... something about either clearing the cache or repartitioning the SD card (which erases all the programs); look for the thread.

Worst case, download a new rom from here, install into internal SD via clockwork mod ("mount USB storage" under "mounts and storage" and copy into internal SD card so clockwork mod can find it).

Good luck.

I am currently running SC 2.9.2 with jt's voodoo kernel. I understand how to disable and re-enable voodoo. My question is if the rom I want to flash is voodoo only should I re-enable voodoo before flashing? Also will it matter if it is enabled or disabled when flashing a new radio or kernel?

I want to use the community rom with the latest voodoo kernel to enable bln, UV, and OC

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitti28:
If you are currently running voodoo then you can just flash the community rom as you are going from voodoo to voodoo. its only an issue when going from voodoo to non voodoo in which you would have to disable voodoo then before flashing a non voodoo rom.

Ughh I might just flash EC01 and see how that goes I dont want to be flashing my phone for the next hour
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitti28:
I followed these directions from adrynalyne. It wasnt bad at all.

So many of us are rooted...so many...

Getting to ED01 isn't easy without any radio leak. So, to get to ED01, so you can get yer bran' spankin' new modem!, follow these directions.

First, we will downgrade to DL09.

Do this by flashing this DL09 package in Odin (pda button, pda button, pda button)

http://adrynalyne.us/files/stuff/

Then, download this EA28 update.zip, put it on your sd card, reboot to recovery and flash:

http://www.multiupload.com/F00OYXVO0K

Finally, download this ED01 update.zip put it on your sdcard, and reboot to recovery and flash:

http://www.multiupload.com/LPI21AP8TD

Then, flash whatever the latest and great cwr 2.5.x is (I've not kept track.) Do not use cwr 3.x for now, imo. You can then flash one of the stock rooted roms, or root yourself via flashing a super user package from cwr.

Good luck!

Note: Keep in mind that once you Odin CWR to ED01, you MUST also flash a kernel, or rom containing a kernel to replace the stock one, or it will revert you.

Boot first to CWR after Odin, and install Community Rom v1.0 as it contains a kernel
