Is SetCPU a lot better then the free CPU tuner? I know it's only 1.99, but I'm feeling cheap at the moment.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DJAeroX26:
you have to make sure the priority is at a higher level than all the others...like 100
[G2 and Desire Z General] nivlac978:
You can get the full version on xda for free. It's nice to donate though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jark99:
need some help

my htc wont show any clock speeds past the 806mhz. :(...any ideas? i tried to perflock disable and it says it is already..and in custom profiles it shows still only max up to 806

edt** read a custom kernal may be required...im on stock. thats probably why :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] G1_enthusiast:
yup exactly why lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
I agree with the guy saying that Screen Off seems to not be working. I have mine at 100% priority and my phone drains battery like crazy even when barely using. The scaling on the screen off profile was on demand, I tried switching it to power save just now. Think that will help much?
[G2 and Desire Z General] havikx:
in order to keep profiles running correctly, setcpu must stay in the memory. if you have a task killer, make sure it ignores setcpu. though...i think froyo does its own task killing. i cant see how you would go about ignoring it from froyos task killing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jark99:
actually i beleive if you make it a widget it works. because i have mine set to main window (max 1 ghz min 245, profile-screen off 245/245 100 priority) and it works just fine when the screen is off. and when screen is on it goes back to 1 ghz.
[G2 and Desire Z General] snudel:
screen of profile also doesnt work here.

i have set profile display in status bar to on. and it never shows anything after enabling screen.

i doubt this is working.
[G2 and Desire Z General] snudel:
how do you know it works?
[G2 and Desire Z General] instigator008:
I also suspect that setcpu is not working properly.

I am currently testing overclock widget and receive notifications when I turn the screen back on, so I assume it is working properly. Will do some more testing to see if battery life is improved.

Would logcat help in this regard? If so, how should I set up the filters?
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
Good points, I made the widget just now and I'll see how this works out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] snudel:
did not help for me.

i am anyway not using a task killer

and the widget did not change anything
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
so the screen off profile is a bust?

and to imagine ppl pay money for that app...
[G2 and Desire Z General] cmccollough:
I have had suspicions as well. Does anyone get a little popup that says something like, "setcpu now has superuser permissions" when you open the program? I get this from time to time when i open the program through the widget. I'm wondering if that's a sign that, before opening the program, it did not have su permissions and thus couldnt use profiles correctly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] snudel:
yep. this comes from time to time.

i guess its not working with the g2
[G2 and Desire Z General] instigator008:
I've run logcat whilst shutting the screen off but noticed no activity relating to scaling the cpu down. Not really sure what I am looking for, though.

I suggest that we all email the dev to let him know:

coolbho3000+dev@gmail.com
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
Just a thoguth for priorities....make the temp the highest priority because thats the only one thats going to save your cpu from melting while overclocking above 1.5
[G2 and Desire Z General] cmccollough:
I can now confirm that the screen off profile is not working correctly. Before going to sleep last night, my phone had a charge of 99%. I did not have anything running (no wifi, bluetooth, sync, etc.) and I woke up to 81% battery. It never killed that much overnight before overclocking. We gotta get this fixed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
I think it might not have been noticed before because unless your maxing out your cpu right before the screen turns off you would never notice. Most people i think maybe set an alarm before they goto sleep.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ghozt178:
i have a quick question? wen i over clock my phone it always seems to go back to the normal speed after i get outta set cpu. is there n e thing that i should to to keep my phone oced
[G2 and Desire Z General] cmccollough:
No I have a power widget on my main homescreen that shows my battery level, so I'm constantly aware of it. Before overclocking, my battery would only decrease about 3-5% overnight.
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
Strange. I have the SetCPU widget, and i set mine to 245/245 screen off.

When I turn on my phone, my phone lags because of the 245/245, and I actually get to see the widget show 245/245 before it changes to 1152 (I'm not going 1.5) / 245 2 seconds later.

Does that mean it works?
[G2 and Desire Z General] instigator008:
Yup, looks like its working for you. Which kernel you on?.
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
Dunno wdf a Kernel is,

but I'm running the Virtuous 0.7.0 ROM
[G2 and Desire Z General] instigator008:
ok, we can run the following adb commands, screen on or off, to see if setcpu is working properly. Someone want to try?

adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

and/or

adb shell cat /proc/cpuinfo
[G2 and Desire Z General] kcm117:
This is with my G2 screen off, Perm Rotted, Stock Rom, Bacon Bits Kernel. Guess that means its working? I have Powersave bias set to 200
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
yes it means its on 245 screen off, however if the "on demand" governor was doing its job right, having the screen on but doing nothing should give you 245 anyway
[G2 and Desire Z General] instigator008:
I've noticed that my frequency jumps around alot from 245 to 806, where I keep it. Is that because the governor is not working properly?
[G2 and Desire Z General] verkion:
Quite the opposite...that means its doing exactly what it should be, scaling CPU frequency according to load.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ScottRTL:
So, just to get it on the books, my SetCPU seems to not be underclocking with the screen off profile (set to priority 100) and I am running the Kernel that comes with CM (RC3 now) is everyone else that is having the issue running the same kernel?

Kernel= 2.6.32.26(CyanogenModshade@toxygen#1)
[G2 and Desire Z General] stevencpoynter:
Try cpu tuner on the market, profile notifications currently do work with this program, including screen off
[G2 and Desire Z General] instigator008:
Thanks for the info!
[G2 and Desire Z General] instigator008:
Setcpu is working great, for me, with pershoot's kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZombieUsr:
I thought CM RC3 had Pershoot's kernel already? Unless I am reading the change log wrong
[G2 and Desire Z General] soliton_wave:
I apologize ahead of time for this noob question.

Do we need to have a modified kernel in order for the SetCPU profiles to work properly even if you are just underclocking? Im running a permarooted G2 with the stock kernel and stock rom.

I was under the impression that you only needed a modified kernel to OC. However, I am discovering that none of the profile settings seem to work even when I am underclocking (ie when the battery < 50% i have the Max Clock to set to 768, but the SetCPU widget still reads 806MHz).

Any advice?

EDIT: I cant read. I just took a look at the Market description for SetCPU. Apparently, for stock kernels you need to disable perflock found by pressing the menu button. my bad.

Any more info? or screenshots etc?

install this like an app?

thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Enyo Enamor:
Thanks snandlal!

Installed it like a regular app.

Works pretty well in both camera and video modes.

Wish it had more options though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] atapia984:
Thanks a lot.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
This is a step in the right direction. Would be nice if someone could take this and add all the changes that cyan had added to the AOSP camera in his rom.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jgalan14:
It works but is only 3mp mm i'll stick with sense one from now, hope someone work on this apk

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jgalan14:
I doubt it the problem is bigger then it loooks I haven't seen any developer getting it working and just installing am api doesn't make it work
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jdmsohc22:
can we get a screenshot..??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
Sorry I don't have a screenshot, but if you have used CM6, in the early stages before Cyanogen added all the new features to the camera, it is the same camera. Shows up as 3mp, one user said that even though it says 3mp, it is actually 8mp. I can't confirm this, as I no longer have this camera app on my phone. Can anyone else confirm the MP on this camera? Easy way to do this, is to upload a pic to your computer and open it in any photo app. You can also find the pic on your phone and long press the pic and select "Details". What is the resolution of pics taken with this app?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barnacles10:
No, the resolution of pictures this cam takes ARE 3mp. I confirmed the resolution after snapping a photo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
That's what I thought. I remembered the original camera from CM6 was only 3 and this looks like the exact same setup. I deleted when I saw the lack of options. I wish someone could mix in the changes that Cyanogen did to the cam app in CM6. That has a LOT of options.... lol

[Streak 5 General] aSquard:
So, I bought a bone stock Streak from the Best Buy Mobile today - things were working earlier until I took the SIM out and and put it back in my iPhone 3GS. When I swapped back, I noticed my Streak won't charge nor can I send texts or make phone calls and I've seen the message "SIM card Error" when trying to make calls. :confused:

Any advice would be awesome because I love this thing!

Edit: Device says now charging. Currently shows '!' in the battery symbol. How long does it need to stay on the charger before it'll actually power on?
[Streak 5 General] aSquard:
Figured out my issue - I read a while back about another member who had to put a piece of a business card underneath the battery. I did the same; now she charges and I don't have that pesky SIM Error message anymore.

XDA is AWESOME!
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
I rang t-mob Uk on saturday to see if tethering on their omnia 7 was permitted or not.

Intially the woman started to read the specs of the wrong phone. She then said that tethering via bluetooth and usb works.

Not convinced, I did the live chat via the t-mob site. This time I was told that tethering via Bt and usb is fine BUT additionally the wm6.5 type wifi routing works. I find the later hard to believe and am unsure as validity of the former advice.

Can any one confirm?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
There is no tethering on wp7 as of yet
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
There is no tethering option on wp7 yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
Blimey!!!

Thanks for clarifying this.

The pre-release info was conflicting with some people saying that it was possible but at the discretion of the carrier.

So if I go for wp7 I will then need to cough up extra for a separate data plan for my laptop.

Nice one M$- I have been out of contract since June and was happy to wait for wp7 and now it seems that I can't even do the basics that I have been able to do for the last 10 years.

The Applefication of WM is so disappointing.

I guess I have the option of jumping to the good ship android or buying an old HD2 until M$ add the things that grown ups need or until someone here manages to "jail brake" wp7

Does anyone know when tethering might be added?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ren13B:
This is the very first release of an entirely new operating system so people need to be a little patient. Tethering support is coming but we don't know when yet. If you absolutely have to have tethering right now then go with another OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
This isn't a slight on you but the "this is new so expect problems" mantra is crap.

Microsoft have been making smart phones for years, they are not new at this game. There is absolutely no excuse for not being able to provide things that exist in their older platforms. Did the bloke that developed cut&paste in the old winCE die and take his secret to the grave?

Why should we be patient? we are expected to cough up £500 for a phone which may or may not be more retarded than previous incarnations. Microsoft know what they can and cannot do, why not publish a road map?

Hell, it's not like the harware is even new technology!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
The difference between WP7 and previous Windows Mobile OS versions is why many "less used" features are not yet complete. With WP7, Microsoft actually wants the experience to be fluid and consistent. This means they have to completely rethink and rewrite all the code. There are deadlines, like any business, and certain things had to be deferred to the next update. This is the way things work with software development. iOS and Android had the same issues with their initial releases.

Good things come to those who wait. Expecting everything in hurry will typically leave you with a bunch of poorly written garbage software. Microsoft has already spoken to both copy/paste and tethering. They will add these features and more. If these features are that important to anyone, they should wait for them to be implemented before buying a WP7 device. Otherwise, there are other choices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
LOL... so true... there is no excuse really
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
I am not sold.

I think that many of the omissions are not down to the fact that the MS techies were not bright enough but moreover that they are result of microsoft calculating that customers or carriers did not want certain features.

If your argument held true then wm6.5 would have been nearing perfection and there would be no need for wp7.

Perhaps you are confusing patience with gullibility.

BTW with regard to

"There are deadlines, like any business, and certain things had to be deferred to the next update. This is the way things work with software development"

So what are alpha and beta testing for? Products should work when they get to the market place, not half a year later.
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
You are free to believe whatever you wish. I am not selling you anything. Just giving an educated response.

Nobody is forcing you to buy a WP7 device. I like the way you ignore that ALL the advertised features of WP7 are fully functional. That kind of negates your statement about "products should work when the het to the market place." This has nothing to do with alpha or beta testing. These features are already at that stage of development.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
I think it's about both that and the money. For some reason *cough cough RIAA* Microsoft want users to have to re-purchase whatever files they hope to use on the device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
Errr....... thanks for sharing the benefit of your education...

Funnily enough I too had an education. This enables me to read posts by Brandon Watson (Director for Windows Phone 7). The same man that said that WP7 would support tethering but at the discretion of the carrier.

Regrettably my education did not include mind reading and thus I did not realise that his statement meant "WP does not support tethering but it may or may not at some point in the near or distant future"

And to which of the advertised features are you referring? How do you know that they all work perfectly? Would the advertised claim that you can "manage.. your email with ease" suffice? Well seemingly not unless you think that having to hard reset your phone in order to delete your windows live account post a typo error is perfection. Or what about the xbox live extras that have been crashing and now removed from the market place?

As consumers we expect products to improve throughout their life cycles. We want features to become better and not just be omitted. It beggars belief that you think that removing givens such as changing ringtones or tetherings is acceptable.

I agree that nobody is forcing me to buy a WP, in the same way that no recalled toyota owner was forced to by a toyota but I guess that toyota never listed non-sticking brakes as advertised features.

Just out of interest- at what point is one allowed to complain? If i wait until I purchase something do I have even less right given that i knew that it was not perfect at the point of purchase?

[Windows Phone 7 General] brytonic:
I do get your frustration and went through the same feelings.

My Tilt 2 (Rhodium) can wifi tether right now and it works great, why not the next 'evolution'?

I think the biggest reason I found it from reading forums and listening to other users is this:

We (those of us who use XDA and like to push our tech to do our bidding) want and use features such as tethering. What portion of the demographic is MS seeking here with WP7, surely a much larger base then those who live / breathe XDA yes?

There aren't thousands, heck even hundreds, of people with torches and pitchforks screaming for tethering. We on these and other forums are, but that is only a small representation of the customer base.

Simple point.. it isn't a primary feature to include in V 1.0 launch, I really hope they add it, but there are many other features that come before tethering. Technically you shoud be paying for tethering anyway, in addition to your wireless data plan.

From what I have read, you are mad that you would have to pay what they ask instead of circumventing that, as you have been (me too!) 8)
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
Resorting to sarcasm in response to a discussion is pointless. If you don't accept the input of others as valid, there is nothing left to say.
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
The sarcasm was a response to your condescending tone. If you want to take the holier than thou higher moral ground then go for it.

As a long standing WinCE customer I have a right to vent my frustrations and disappointments.

By the same token i don't own an iphone but I retain the right to b!tch about the fact that their greed has (indirectly) fugged up my preferred phone OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
Hi there Brytonic

here in the Uk t-mobile are more upfront about internet charges and tethering (branded as web'n'walk). My curent contract includes free tethering whereas my previous one had a small premium for the right to tether (which I was happy to pay).

The cost of internet access only without voice is significantly higher than a voice account with web'nwalk bolted on. So if i were to buy a sim free WP the web'n'walk part of my bill would remain unchanged but I would additionally need to pay for web'n'walk for my pc

I agree that we here are only a fraction of the intended market place but it gals me that Microsoft leaked that tethering would be supported.

Am I really being unrealistic to expect a £500 phone to be able to do what my Ericsson T39 could do back in 2001 (ie work as a bluetooth modem)?

If it were the case that we had to wait for the 3g over wifi routing then I would have no problem as that is an enhancement of what I consider to be a rudimentary function.
