2.2 SetCPU problem

[bmb0205]

I'm using the updated froyo ROM and P3 1.2ghz kernel on my droid. I have setcpu set to 1200max 400min, autodetect and ondemand

For some reason, it only sometimes goes to 1.2mhz. Most of the time the widget says 400 max or 600 max

No idea why it is doing this, I've checked my profiles and everything

Any ideas? Thanks everyone

Are you using a Motorola Droid? If so, did you use Auto-detect settings and made sure not to actually go to the device list and find Motorola Droid? You want to just let it find the settings on it's own then go from there.

Also, make sure you have root. If you installed 2.2 from this thread...

Stock 2.1 to 2.2 Froyo Step By Step installation - Page 2 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

Then you might want to also try the Superuser Permission fix even though it may appear you have root.

Just some ideas.

Turn it on to performance not ondemand.

Turn it on to performance not ondemand.

Doing this might greatly impact battery life, just saying.

[titans]

Yeah it may, but it's the only way to overclock to the max speeds.

I prefer ondemand because you do not need your highest speed all the time.
Also, the widget is not always correct.

Hmm..., I use performance because if it's on ondemand, if I drag the slider to 1000 mhz, it reverts back to 600 or so. So if I do use ondemand and set it to 1000, it will go up to 1000 when it needs to?

[bomber889]

Yeah.
To test it, you can get Systempanellite task manager, by nextapp, inc and watch the CPU Clock move up and down with OnDemand settings. If you let it sit there, it goes down to 125mhz or 250mhz, whatever your lowest is. and when you scroll, it goes up, up to the highest setting if necessary.

Hmm thanks for the tip I'll try that. I'm pretty satisfied with my battery life but if that improves it considerably then I may change to ondemand. Thanks.

No problem
