Can you host 2.0.1 somewhere for the unlucky people who didn't back it up?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
Its a paid app... The file is hosted by the developer for free if you are an xda member...

Same here, had to go to 2.0.1

Solved the problem.

Can anyone pull me a logcat right after the app starts on 2.0.2?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Halieus:
Tell me how(to pull a logcat) and I'll reinstall the app just to help out
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
Download alogcat from the market...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Halieus:
confused

OK so I reinstalled SetCPU again for the 4th time and this time no errors. I was ready to do the logcat and all, but this time all is well. I can do up to 1ghz, and no freeze ups. If this changes I'll be ready to get a logcat and will post it. If someone else is experiencing this please get a logcat for this dev to help him out. The only thing I changed between the installs was my launcher from touch wiz to ADW, but I don't see how that could affect SetCPU.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] EnigmaDtop:
What speeds do you all recommend for an energy profile when the screen turns off?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Anyone else having the problem where the phone goes to sleep and never wakes up?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bromat80:
When I set profiles for when the screen is off it wouldn't wake and I would have to pull the battery. Since I stopped setting profiles it hasn't happened.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xspeed9190:
Had the problem with 2.01 after 2.02 profile screen off is 100-200 it now wakes up after extended sleep
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdmoto:
I have question. Im trying to side load the app using ES file manager. some reason its giving me an error loading it. Any ideas?

Phone is rooted and have that install third part apps checked.

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kwbdc:
I had the same problems with the phone going to sleep and not waking up until you pull the battery a few time. A side issue was that it somehow fouled up the contacts so that I couldn't get in to edit some of them. I tried to see if it was another program but it happened again after re-installing setcpu. when it was working it worked great, seemed to really speed up things. I had profiles set that when at full power it was delivering the full 1ghz. I'll wait until a more stable version comes out.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] pfmartin:
I installed SetCPU and without profiles, it works just fine.

I then setup profiles and had the same problem as others. The phone would not wake from sleep.

I think SetCPU is the single most important App on my phone because without it the battery life is simply unacceptable. I really hope that SetCPU can be fixed so that the no-wakey from sleep is not an issue any more.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] JoePR31:
The Vibrant does not seem to be able to stay running in sleep mode when the cpu's clock speed drops down to 100. So, when you chose a Set CPU mode or profile that drops the speed to 100 when the phone sleeps, such as "on demand" mode, the phone ends up shutting itself off.

That's my theory, at least. I'm not sure why it happens, though. Maybe at such a low clock speed Android is turning off a certain background process that it needs to keep running...or maybe it has too many processes running in the background at once to be able to continue to run at such a low clock speed. Just guesses...but my point is that I dont believe that the SetCPU app is the problem.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] j0hnZ:
I got my Vibrant yesterday, rooted, and installed the lag fix. I got a 2167 score as my highest and 2163 in the screenshot: http://onthejohn.net/android/quad.jpg

Anywho, point right...so me and my friends have a natural phone competition, buddy got an evo running Froyo made a big deal about it getting 1440 or something quadrant score. SO I set setcpu to 800/800 and it got a 1907 I believe, and then I was like how far can I keep this going. So I set it to 400/400 and it got a 972 which is maybe a little bit higher than I got previously without the lag fix.

Just thought it might be interesting to know.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] pfmartin:
Thank you for the suggestion! I did some testing and I slowly lowered the frequency that would be used for screen off. Well, imagine my surprise when I found that i was able to start at 1000 and lower it to 100 and the phone now wakes up! Weird...

The thing is that when I first installed SetCPU I was using profiles for a couple of days and it worked fine. Then suddenly I started having these problems. Now, after your post and my experimenting, profiles are working again.

Nothing has changed which makes this all the more bizarre. For the record, I do not use a task killer of any sort and generally have been testing this by turning the phone on, entering SetCPU, making settings, then turning off the screen. It had been failing all morning. Now it works...

So, not sure what the problem is, and I suspect it will return at some point.

Is there any way I can dump a trace for the developer to troubleshoot this? I am happy to help in whatever way I can.

Thanks!

Pablo
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Wait - so what are your exact settings?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] pfmartin:
My exact settings:

1. The overall setting (on the main screen of SetCPU) I have max 1000 and min 100, conservative.

2. I only set 1 profile, Screen Off. I set it to max 1000, min 100, powersave (powersave keeps it at 100).

-- I should mention that I would usually set Screen Off to max 200, min 100, conservative. But since the above worked at the time, I left it that way.

This worked for me yesterday when I made my post. However, by the end of the day the phone was back to not waking up from sleep. So, it looks like the problem is not consistently showing itself.

Not sure what to do, the only way I can run SetCPU is if I do not use any profiles. Well, actually, I have not tried running the other profile types by themselves since the one that I am mostly interested in is the Screen Off profile. If I can do anything else to help clarify please let me know.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] frankencat:
So is anyone working on this? I have not set any profiles and don't have any issues running on "conservative" but it would be nice to know if someone is actually working on a fix or not. I have the paid version on two phones BTW. Thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] speoples20:
I have the latest version of SetCPU and I noticed that when I reboot my phone it reverts the settings even though I have it set to load on boot. Anyone else have this issue?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jlaval:
Cant find a free version on the market?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
I think the developer has said that the only confirmed-working setting for the Galaxy S is "conservative" - this might be one of your issues.

I'll try running higher than 100MHz to see if I still have these problems. The random sleep-no-wake has been plaguing me, too.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:

But really consider buying it. We need to support developers that make our phones awesome.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jlaval:
thanks man! will buy if works ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kolyan:
which lag fix did you use ? ext2 or the other one ?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] pfmartin:
Thank you for pointing that out, and I was aware of this already. This is why I mentioned in my post that I usually use the conservative setting for all profiles. but since powersave was working at the time, I left it set. Regardless, even with the conservative setting, the phone still pulls a Michael Jackson on me... :-)

I just wish I knew how to get in touch with the developer and help him troubleshoot. I checked his web site but there really is not way to give feedback.

Anyhow, thanks for the tip! Good luck!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] JoePR31:
Glad I was able to help you out a bit the other day, Pablo. I've experienced the same results as you...after some tinkering, it would work while set at 1,000max-100min, but only for a short period of time before it reverted to shutting off after going to sleep. I just avoid setting my minimum to 100Mhz. Any minimum speed setting above that completely eliminates the issue.

The only problem I still find myself having on occasion is that the auto detect max processor speed setting sometimes resets itself to the default...which is just below 500Mhz. It doesn't do it everytime I reboot, like someone else mentioned earlier, but it does do it every time I use any type of cache clearing app.

I also find that sometimes after manually resetting the speeds using the sliders while the "Set on Boot" box is checked, the settings won't change to what I want them to be. I have to uncheck the box and then make the changes using the sliders before the desired settings will stick.

These are nothing more than observations, but I hope you guys find them useful!

Learning the ropes

I am pretty much as new as you can get with rooting and the like. My phone before you could say basically had a rotary dial. To say the least my new vibrant is out of this world. I wanted to get rid of the bloatware so I finally figured out how to root and get rid of some of the stock apps, just the ones that were safe to get rid of. Im happy with my phone but it seems like i can do so much more from these forums. Next i was wondering about SetCPU. I wouldnt mind getting even faster and saving some battery life, but it seems like a lot of you experienced people are having some problems with it and it could be more of a problem for a newb like me to figure out. Is it worth it? Im trying to do a lot of reading before I do much else. Ive read most of the stickies, still trying to pick up on all the different language. Any hints about SetCPu would be great, Thanks all
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ender2492:
As of right now I have my screen off setting at 100/100 set on conservative mode. Wakes up fine every time.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zimphishmonger:
I also have a random "freeze" where the phone never comes out of sleep mode, it appears to have turned off, need to pull battery or long-press power to turn it on\reboot. Its happened on two different Vibrants (exchanged one), so its not hardware-related. I had a hunch it MAY be SetCPU, and when I saw the above logcat, I got interested.

However, when mine is "frozen" or appears to be off (whatever it may be), it doesnt get detected by a PC when I attempt to logcat it. It says "USB Device cannot be recognized", but force reboot and it logcat works perfectly, so its not drivers.

Seems to be something with the kernel and not coming out of deep sleep.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
I've been running SetCPU now with 1GHz/100MHz settings and no profiles enabled, and it's worked fine, so it's got to be some issue with profiles.

Still trying to catch a logcat with the deep-sleep-no-wake event. I got it once, but it was when I disconnected the phone from my computer; plugging it back in did nothing, adb couldn't see it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zimphishmonger:
I had the same behavior, once "froze/stuck/off" it cant be seen by adb. I was running SetCPU w/ NO profiles, so its not limited to profiles. I have removed SetCPU for the time being to isolate the issue
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
SetCPU in general is a very good idea - there's no need to run your phone at 1GHz when the screen is off, say, and underclocking the phone when it's doing stuff like idling will help save battery.

The issue we're discussing in this thread is the peculiar no-wake-on-sleep event that seems to occur when profiles are enabled (i.e., use a different max/min CPU threshold for various stages of battery life, temperature, charging, screen off, etc). But if you don't use profiles and instead manually adjust the max/min thresholds, it seems to work OK.

I posted a link to the developer's XDA thread above for a free SetCPU app; however, if you like it and want to see its continued development for our phone, consider buying it. (I did!) I'm sure the problems will get resolved soon.

I just sent a PM to the developer offering my services and support in finding this bug so it gets nipped in the next version. Hopefully something comes about from it!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
Odd. I haven't seen a problem in a week of using it.. what scaling type are you using, and what are your thresholds? (1000/100MHz here, using conservative.)

I'm really hoping that the phone will crap out while it's plugged in so I can catch the logcat of it; maybe some exception is thrown right before it dies that will be useful. I'll leave the phone plugged in all night to my computer and see if I get anything.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zimphishmonger:
I wish I had a portable netbook to just logcat the thing 24/7 till I solve this lol. I was using 100/1200 (OC Kernel) and stock 100/1000 (JACv6,8), all conservative. Had it installed just for kicks and the stability test. Hoping that fixes it. Pretty major issue if you ask me
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Ovrclock:
Correct me if I'm wrong (and I didn't go thru the whole thread so if this was said already I apologize) but doesn't the SGS have cpu scaling already? In Quandrant if you look up system info it give the max-min freq as 1000mhz-100mhz respectively, and always gives me a lower cpu speed of around 400mhz.

Also, I'm rooted but on the stock ROM w/o any overclock/undervolt kernal.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zimphishmonger:
You are correct, it scales on its own, but its nice to have a stress test and a way to confirm clock settings

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
True - I'm primarily running setcpu to underclock the phone to save battery life..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ttabbal:
Does it work? I tried it and got the crash, I also tried without setCPU, using Tasker and shell scripts to change the max CPU frequency. It locks there too. Seems more like a kernel problem to me. Sometimes it works, no idea why.

EDIT: I got it working, at least for now. The crash was somewhat random, so it would be good to get more people involved in testing. NOTE: This requires Tasker, it's a free 7 day trial if you don't want to pay for it, they offer it from their website, the Market is pay-only. http://tasker.dinglisch.net/download.html

You also need SL4A (Scripting for Android) http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/ ..

Install Tasker and SL4A ..

Unzip the attached ZIP and put the files in /sdcard/sl4a/scripts/ .

Launch SL4A and you should see your scripts.

Launch the ClockUp script and tell it to allow root.

Now go into Tasker and set up some profiles.

Make an Event context, then Display, then Display Off.

You should be in the task editor now. Hit the + at the bottom left, then select "plugin" then SL4A.

Now there should be a window with an edit button. Hit that, then select the ClockDown script.

Make another one for the Display On event.

Now when you turn off the display, Tasker will ask SL4A to run the ClockDown script. It waits for the current frequency to be at or below the set frequency, then turns down the governor. This seems to stabilize changing the max frequency. When you turn it back on, you will see a notification from SL4A that you are running the ClockUp script. The current setting for ClockDown is 200Mhz. You can edit the variable at the top of the script to change that. Note that this might cause wake lag for phone calls and such, so adjust as needed.

Note that there is a possible race condition. If you turn off, then back on quickly, the ClockDown script might not be done. It will keep trying, so you now have one of each running. Eventually the Clock will get low enough and ClockDown will finish, and ClockUp will then run. There is a timeout of 30 seconds in the ClockUp script, if you see this happen, just open an app that doesn't do much without user input and the frequency should drop enough to trigger them both. Or you can pull down the notifications and select the SL4A icon. It allows you to kill scripts from there.

I would fix them to get around this, but it's a test that hopefully works well for everyone so we can let the SetCPU author know how to fix it for us.

I've only been running for an hour or so with this, turning my phone off and back on like an idiot trying to get it to crash. So far, no crash.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
Nice alternative. I have Tasker so this might work best in lieu of SetCPU (although I'd prefer to use SetCPU, mostly because I paid for it..!). Keep us informed about how this goes - if it crashes, that tends to point to a kernel problem.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ttabbal:
It's working well so far. Not sure how much power savings there really is, but it seems to help.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kwbdc:
works great on my nexus one but on the vibrant it somehow messes with the contacts and when I try to get into contacts it comes up with some error depending on which contact I open. I've uninstalled for now.

Here are the only profile settings I've got to work without any crashes, freezes and bugs. I'm using The Vibrant on SetCPU 2.0.1 ... Hope this helps.

The "Screen Off" profile will not work at all.

So far these settings help my phone charge a lot faster and save a little battery.

Hope this helps some.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Deggy:
What's your main settings?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] geniuzmusic:
My main settings are 1000max and 100min conservative.

(They were the same on 2.0.1)

I just tried the 2.0.2 version and I added the "screen off" profile with 800max and 100min ... So far it's working without freezing or crashing.

I'll keep you posted on how this works out.

My phone does not wake up when I set the off-screen profile to 400 mhz. Has anyone else had this problem?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] geocepe:
So ive been messing around with settings for a day or so. I have my cpu set to 400/100 max when below 30%. I have it set to 100/100 when screen is off. I get no sleep lockup when it is below 30% but i do get sleep lock when above 30%. Could the problem be something that the processor doesnt ramp up the same from screen off as it does the rest of the time. Just my observation I have found so far.

edit: The only screen off setting that have worked properly so far on my phone are 800/100 when you have the processor speed at 1000/100 normal.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] frankencat:
I am having a problem getting my settings to stick. It seems like when I come back into it after a while the sliders say one thing and the min and max on the screen say something different. Weird.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
haha......see ENTIRE THREAD
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
This happens to me too, very inconvenvient AND dangerous because it sets the cpu wayyy lower than the vibrant's lowest threshold, so you will notice horrible performance and eventually a crash if you dont fix it immediately on boot.

----------------

So here are the settings I've been running today, with no problems for a quite a few hours (and heavy use):

Main Profile: Max1200, Min200 (Conservative)

Screen Off: Max600, Min600 (Conservative)

BTW, i saw in another thread, in order for your settings to stick on reboot, try UNchecking "set on boot" options.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tipsofme:
Stuck on load screen and phone wont do anything after installing this SH** app. Any advice?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
this does not sound like a problem caused by setcpu, it could be a long list of different things, you need to be more specific...so did you reboot your phone immediately after installing setcpu and you were stuck at boot? were you flashing themes?

PS - its not a **** app just because you personally have problems with it, dont be one of THOSE people....the majority of the time someone has problems with an app that is not only as popular as setcpu, but also as dangerous as setcpu if used in the wrong way, the problem is more often than not caused by the user
