OK just an update on the settings I'm now using.

I had been using 1100mhz / 56 (56 was the lowest stable I could go without rebooting) but to be honest I couldn't notice much, if any, difference in performance from the 1000mhz so I reverted back.

Now using at the following settings & stable with no rebooting:

300 / 20

600 / 30

*1000 / 52 - will continue adjusting this one to see if I can the get the vsel any lower.

The setvsel app is great & along with droidwall are probably the two apps that I wouldn't do without.

*edit - now using 1000 / 50 with no issues at all.

**edit - with the addition of the upthreshold feature i am now trying out 1100 / 56 with threshold set at 75%. Seems quite snappy at the moment.

Bug?

Hey Inteks,

not sure whether this is a real bug or it's got something to do with my settings. As soon as I enable the "Show CPU Speed Icon" in the current version, I can't seem to get rid of it anymore. The only thing I can do is change the icon (color, black, task style). Reboot fixes the issue however.

My system:

MB525 w/ Android 2.1 (Blur 2.21 - stock), rooted

Cheers,

Joe
[Defy Themes and Apps] cajosc:
Something similar happens for me as well. The icon disappears for a short while and then reappears. I'm running 2.34.1, rooted of course.
[Defy Themes and Apps] cammel:
Same bug here!!! Defy 2.1
[Defy Themes and Apps] mick711:
With 3.34 UK i have some reboot when SetVsel is enable with original Vsel and frequence or Tweaked .

So i think i try to use SetCpu and higgly with *.sh tweak .

I try to find log of crash .

Log is in attachement
[Defy Themes and Apps] Perilla_:
Great app but still force closes on froyo.
[Defy Themes and Apps] inteks:
here is a new testbeforemarket version :D

i fixed an other bug that caused FC on froyo and a few new features
[Defy Themes and Apps] mick711:
I don't understand what is "upthreshold" .

I test my old setting and report if it work .

Thanks

EDIT :

Old setting 300/15 crash 300/18 work . Possible for Froyo its necessary to up Vsel .

<Logcat attached>
[Defy Themes and Apps] S1dew1nder:
i believe it refers to the percentage of load the cpu has to be under before it starts to speed up
[Defy Themes and Apps] mick711:
It's seem correct i don't know that Android can control CPU like that .
[Defy Themes and Apps] Muznyu:
Did you remove the donate version from Market? I just installed a new ROM, and now I can't find it. It even doesn't show up at my purchased apps. :(
[Defy Themes and Apps] Muznyu:
Okay, applied a Market protected apps update via Clockwork recovery, now it shows up. :)
[Defy Themes and Apps] jumpistef:
thanks for the 1.36 update, no more FC and seems to be full functional.
[Defy Themes and Apps] S1dew1nder:
forgot to say installed the testbeforemarket version yesterday seems to be a soild build not fc's and all works well cheers dude
[Defy Themes and Apps] inteks:
version 1.37

added the option to set up_threshold to 99% on low battery
[Defy Themes and Apps] ebait:
Thanks, really nice piece of software!
[Defy Themes and Apps] mick711:
Thanks for this update !

Can you like setcpu add more option for profil ?

Like :

upthreshold : 99% if battery < 10%

and

limite cpu to vsel2

i don't know if Android 2.1 , 2.2 can use this setting .

I don't know what is your updat but Defy look more stable after update 1.35 on Froyo, like i say Froyo don't like 300/15 Vsel profil .

Thank you it's a very very good tools and all update is :eek: beautifull :D
[Defy Themes and Apps] inteks:
i like to keep SetVsel so simple as possible.

if you limit to vsel2 it is useless the set upthreshold to 99%

limit to vsel1 is unusable and limit to vsel3 is sensless ;) (i have both removed)

upthreshold below 99% dosent save enough power!

the remain two options are the only usefull options :cool:

ps:i.e. if you set up_threshold to 99% at batt <=30% you have a full hour of tapatalk
[Defy Themes and Apps] S1dew1nder:
hay inteks what should i set my upthreshold to? my settings are 40 VSel1 @ 800mhz, 55 VSel2 @ 1100mhz and 65 VSel3 @ 1300mhz cheers
[Defy Themes and Apps] inteks:
i think it is not usefull to set vsel1 to 800mhz!

if you like it snapier leave vsel1 at 300 and lower upthreshold to 75%

upthreshold is the procent of usage the cpu have to reach befor it switch to the next higher frequency
[Defy Themes and Apps] S1dew1nder:
i like it at 800mhz dont like it to jump to high between speeds been this way for days now no problems so far and batt is fine get about a day and a half out of a charge and i like to play with my phone a lot :D
[Defy Themes and Apps] 07_penny:
This was a really great app... before I updated it to 1.36, which caused boot loop.

I guess it could be some bad settings, so I uninstalled 1.36 using adb shell, then I tried 1.38 which rebooted my Defy every time I click the SetVsel icon.

Any solution, pls?

(It's a Defy with offical Chinese Froyo ROM.)
[Defy Themes and Apps] bobbyphoenix:
It would reboot mine too as soon as I clicked apply, but I changed my max from 1.3 @ 65 to 1.3 @ 70, and now I'm stable. Try resetting the values, and then change them one by one to see if it helps. If you can't even start the app clear the setting from the applications menu to start over.

vSel on defy

Why wants My Defy higher vSel, than what others are writing about? :confused:

It's a T-mobile Defy.

THX!
[Defy Themes and Apps] 07_penny:
I deleted the data, but still, every time I tried to run 1.38, my phone rebooted. I didn't even have the chance to see the "apply" button.
[Defy Themes and Apps] bobbyphoenix:
Sorry then. I have no other ideas.
[Defy Themes and Apps] bobbyphoenix:
@Inteks

Now when I check the status bar I see "Governor is "ondemand" (click)". What is this? I clicked and now it says "Governor is "performance" (click)". I tried clicking again, but it doesn't change to anything else. It just stays on "performance". *shakes head confused* :confused:
[Defy Themes and Apps] mick711:
I don't know about other member but if the CPU is not very very good it don't support high frequency or/and low Vsel .

When i use my Defy with 2.34 deblur (Android v2.1) my setting is :

300/15

500/34

600/38

Now i can't use this setting with 3.34 froyo UK (Android v2.2) my setting is :

300/18 when i try 15 the phone crash

600/38

800/48

I don't test other for the moemnt i try tonight or tomorrow .
[Defy Themes and Apps] bobbyphoenix:
I figured it out. I had to reboot for it to work right. Ondemand uses what it needs. Performance runs at your Max setting at all times. Nice.

General Questions

I've been trying to use this app for a couple weeks now, but seem to be having trouble. I'm running the CE 2.34 ROM on a T-mo US Defy. My battery life doesn't seem to be any better than before rooting and installing setvsel. Also, with the latest version, when I use the "CPU SPeed Icon" and watch it in the notification area, it shows values other than the ones that I have set in setvsel. Is this normal, or is that an indicator that something isn't working correctly? Also, as I understand it, I only need to install this program to get overclocking/undervolting working. There is no need to install Milestone OC or any other program? Overclock.ko is installed and loaded by setvsel? Do I need to make any changes to my Defy outside of setvsel to get overclocking working properly?

Thanks
[Defy Themes and Apps] 07_penny:
I cleaned the data again, and then installed 1.40. Well, it works again!!! no more rebooting..:)
[Defy Themes and Apps] rob-t:
SetVsel is a great app, thank you very much for making it! The configurability is so much better than Milestone Overclock. Everyone should be using this app.
[Defy Themes and Apps] inteks:
hi,

the ultrafastreboot function from setvsel is now aviable as standalone version in the market.

its usefull if your mod your /system/app folder because the changes are only visible after a reboot.

the ultrafastreboot function/app kills only the dalvikVM and it takes only a few seconds to reload ;)

search for "rebooter" or "more from this developer"

have fun

inteks
[Defy Themes and Apps] martin.flory:
Hi, even tough I hit the "Quit" button, it stays in memory and spends battery life. Does the app do anything on the fly? Or it just changes configuration files and applies the settings? is there a point on keeping it alive?

thanks, I love the app.

Documentation

Hello, I'm a smartphone newbie "advanced user", and I'd like to use the SetVSel in a more reponsable way. So, my doubts are:

1) What are VSel1, VSel2, VSel3 ?

2) Is there any relation between VSels and MHz ? Is there any tip or caution when setting this both?

3)What is "up_threshold" ?

4) Do you have any "recommended values" to set my Defy?
[Defy Themes and Apps] Blasterke:
If you read this whole thread, all the answers are there...

but I'll help, Vsel/Mhz 1/2/3 are 3 different speed settings.

When your phone does nothing he runs at setting 1, when the cpu load goes above the "up_treshold" value it switches to setting 2, making it run a little faster, when the cpu load now goes up again above up_treshold value it switches to speed 3. and the same thing goes the other way down also. I set mine at 90%, so it only switches to higher speed at 90% cpu load. the higher the value the more battery save, lower will mean faster changing to higher speed.

Next vsel/mhz: Mhz is speed of cpu, vsel is voltage.

The higher the cpu runs the higher the voltage needs to be to make it run stable. Here is where the real battery saver is, lowering the voltage at lower speeds.

Like with computer CPU's they all differ. one cpu can run higher then another, and more stable on a certain voltage. So thats why ppl in this thread all post different vsel/mhz value's. I'll give my settings here, they are very conservative and shouldnt be a problem for any phone.

26/300

34/600

50/800

You can always try lowering the vsel on your phone, but remember to do it step by step and checking if its stable.

Also note that I havent overclocked it, I dont feel the need for it, my phone feels smooth enough. Should you play alot of games and need more speed, you can experiment with it. But if you dont know what your doing, then dont do it.

Hope this solves all your questions

I LOVE this app btw!
[Defy Themes and Apps] thiagold:
That was a nice explanation! Tks a lot, really!
[Defy Themes and Apps] mick711:
I use 300/18 600/38 1000/52 or 800/50

But i can see with setvsel on froyo run to 437 400 5xx Mhz, it say on demande i don't know why but battery life ise very good ;)
[Defy Themes and Apps] Peglezn:
Am I the only one that hasnt noticed much battery improvement?

running stock 2.1 rom

my settings are

300/25

600/37

1000/57

up_threshold 80%

the phone has mostly been idle today (done 2quadrant runs, little browsing, few texts)

after 22 hours my battery use says this:

mobile standby 41%

phone idle 39%

SetVsel 19%

Display 2%

and I have 60% battery left

Now is this normal for SetVsel to use so much battery?

Id mostly like to get more out of the battery when screen is off (now it uses around 10% per 6h which is preety much the same as before i installed setvsel)

Quadrant score gives me score around 1200 if that helps with anything?
[Defy Themes and Apps] Blasterke:
hmm, thats not normal indeed, setvsel shouldnt even show up in battery usage, since its that low.

only thing I can suggest is reinstalling/updating it. If that doenst help, its something for the experts.

quadrant score is ok btw
[Defy Themes and Apps] inteks:
if you play much with the settings in setvsel it could be. if you have the cpuspeedicon on maybe...

BUT while the screen is of the timer !!! so no usage shloud happen.

btw next update include a setting for the updateinterval of the cpuspeedicon (while screen is on! as i said while screen is off the timer is disabled ;) )

and an optimized less chrashing service handling. (in the act version on froyo it could happen that the service is killed and on screenon the cpu isnt switched to fullspeed)
[Defy Themes and Apps] flakmann:
just for the info

i use:

16@300

28@600

65@1200

On the 2.2.1 uk stock rom, everything runs smoothly and no crashes. These are lowesz values i could set without rebooting and running the stabilitytest for at least an hour.

[Defy Themes and Apps] S1dew1nder:

[Defy Themes and Apps] Peglezn:
Yeah I think it was the icon that used so much battery ...now I disabbled it and i dont see setvsel at battery usage anymore

Im now trying 300/20 ...ill report back later if my battery lasts any longer with this setting :)

and keep up the good work this app is great :)
[Defy Themes and Apps] inteks:
it cant be the icon! its disabled while screen is off !!

and beside that the battery usage off setvsel cant be correct - if you click details the used cputime are only seconds! other apps have minutes of cpuusage with lower % ???
[Defy Themes and Apps] Peglezn:
screen wasnt off all the time, I did say I did some texting,browsing,quadrant that day

and that icon was changing colors all the time (was using the one that changes colors from blue,green,red)

dunno after I drained the battery, I changed the vsel settings and disabled that icon and usage of setvsel in batteryuse was gone

Also there is a bug with that icon ...I coulndt get rid of it without using taskkiller

-if i just unchecked the setting+click apply or apply&quit the icon was stil there it didnt go away

-icon couldnt go away unless i closed setvsel in taskkiller and rerun it ...then it was gone
[Defy Themes and Apps] reinsen:

[Defy Themes and Apps] cwhiggs:
Instalation and using SetVsel question.

Just wondering if it's ok to go ahead and install and run SetVsel without doing anything first? (At the moment I've got the phone overclocked and scaled with Milestone Overclock and SetCPU, as per Sorensiims guide, on a JIT/Deodexed + deblurred stock 2.21 Rom.) Can I just install and use this app before then un-installing Milestone Overclock and SetCPU?

Sorry if this has been covered before but this thread's now 27 pages long!

Thanks in advance!
[Defy Themes and Apps] izzat001:
Yes you can. Just disable the oc from the milestone oc app and use this setvsel app to oc your phone instead. Hope this helps!
[Defy Themes and Apps] cwhiggs:
Thanks. Should I just leave SetCPU alone or should I uninstall it as well as MilestoneOC? Cheers.
[Defy Themes and Apps] izzat001:
You dont have to uninstall set cpu. Just unload your script and select auto detect speeds under device selection
[Defy Themes and Apps] Ztiffn:
My settings:

20/350

32/600

64/1200

up_threshold 80%

it runs fast and stable, tested 2 hours with StabilityTest.

@izzat

but do you realy need setcpu and Milestone Overclock even more ?

SetVsel had the features of both.
[Defy Themes and Apps] iamoct:
Hi, thanks you guys

My setting is:

300@16, 600@28, 800@40

Above settings can pass stable test for hours but after ran some game it reboot

So my stable setting is

300@16, 600@30, 800@42

Tanks guy. ;)

*Look like something wrong with battery manager it show CPU used total only 3s but it show

72% SetVsel

12% Mobile standby

12% Wi-Fi

.

.

after reboot and setVsel
[Defy Themes and Apps] cwhiggs:
Okay, sorry for being slow here but I'm still not clear on this...is it okay to just uninstall SetCPU and MilestoneOC and start using setVsel instead? Does setVsel do the same job as the other two combined? Thanks again.
[Defy Themes and Apps] sp8y:
I'm only using Setvsel on my rooted Defy (android 2.1) & it overclocks & undervolts - works like a charm :)
[Defy Themes and Apps] Ztiffn:
yes ;) (its simply the better tool)
[Defy Themes and Apps] lonest4r:
Hi, I used, as intended to, StabilityTest to find the least possible vsel values for my Defy. If I understand in right, the CPU speed is fixed at the certain level to check the stability. This worked great with 2.34.

But now with Froyo, the StabTest starts, works, and after a while the CPU speed switches to the maximum. So I cannot really test the stability of vsel1 and vsel2.

Does this mean that the vsel is too low? Shouldn't it crash instead?

Has anybody the same problem or maybe an explanation or solution?

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: I reinstalled Setvsel and SetCPU and it seams to work now.
[Defy Themes and Apps] phynix5800:
Very nice tool, its easy to use and does a great job!

I have one request though:

Could you plz include a menu option (the menu that comes up when pressing the apps status message) to limit the clock to Vsel 2?

I have an app that will use as much CPU as possible and it doesn't really benefit it. Its a 2D game and the framerate is a bit higher at best. I have Vsel 3 @ 1200 MHz and this app will drain the battery really fast.

Its probably the case with any more complex 2D games, I can imagine.
[Defy Themes and Apps] amfslash:

Hi inteks,

your work is great! - so I have to register here ;)

I had the high battery usage bug too and now you fixed it great! Thank you!

But one thing is still a problem for me and maybe for others?

My settings are: 300/37 (btw. is 37 to high?); 700/47; 1100/57 and I get many times problems with the light of my four touch buttons at the front of my Defy. Sometimes they are on, sometimes they are off.

Maybe good for battery life but I don't like bugs ;)

Can you check the interface of the four LED's please?

Ich danke dir nochmals für deine Arbeit! ^.^

Regards

RexXxuS
[Defy Themes and Apps] mick711:
Me to for light button but i don't know if it's UK Rom or SetVsel ;)

My parameters : 300/18 600/38 800/50 i think 300/37 is very high for battery life and not needed .
[Defy Themes and Apps] RexXxuS:
Thanks mick711! Yeah indeed... 37 are too high.

I guess many people have problems with the four buttons light?!

Right, I'm using 2.2 rom with my Defy. But I guess to 99% that SetVsel cause this LED light bug, because if I delete the app everything's fine.

I guess logical, that the vsel may cause the bug? If they get to low/high (?!) value they don't know whether they should go on or not? x)

At the moment the light keeps on (10 min) with:

300/16; 600/27; 1100/58 !!

*edit*: After reboot/surfing/gaming/etc. the lights keeps still on with these parameters ó.ò

General stats: Phone used 7 hours, 90% left (3980mV). I think it's good ^.^
[Defy Themes and Apps] mick711:
Thanks for feedback ;)

i never test withouth SetVsel it's the first app i install ^^

I test your parameters because before with 2.34 blurless rom i can use 300/15 but no with froyo .

yepp , many people ! because it has nothing to do with setvsel !!!

it's a known bug that with brightness set to "auto" the buttonlight switch off after some time......
[Defy Themes and Apps] Ztiffn:
werden die einstellungen eigentlich fest hinterlegt?! also mein eigentlich das tool nur einmalig zum einstellen starten müsste und danach wieder entfernen kann ??
[Defy Themes and Apps] RexXxuS:
My system runs stable... haven't a reboot at all with OC apps ó.Ò.

Btw. my Threshold value is 92%.

And Doodle Dash is the best game for testing this value - it runs smooth like water ^.^

Hmm... I use Widgetsoid with three different brightness (10%, 30%, 70%) presets. But no auto brightness at all...

As I mentioned, if I delete SetVsel everything is fine! But I'm sure the parameters of vsel are the key. My posted values are stable till now...

So everyone with this bug should play around with many different values, I guess.

Hello,

Great app, thank you. Maybe an Idea for further extention.

I am missing a possibility to have lets say 3 profiles with different vsel1/2/3 settings and possibility to switch quickly between them.
