[Q] CM9 0.2.0 SetCPU and Undervolt Settings. Recommendations? - Motorola Photon 4G

Hi everyone,
So I'm super excited to have CM9 now that the camera is working. So far it's been a great experience. I just want to make sure that I'm getting the best performance and battery life.
Here are my SetCPU settings. I was wondering if someone could look them over and let me know if there is any room for improvement.
SetCPU
Main Profile: 216 min 1300 max
Screen off profile: 216 min 750 max
Battery<50% Profile: 216 min 1000 max
I was thinking about maybe adding some profiles for CPU and Battery temperatures since my phone gets hot when I'm using GPS and I'm afraid of damaging something. Any thoughts?
Also in the undervolt tab of SetCPU I have each category set to -50mV. I'm not that well versed with undervolting so any additional tips may help.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Awesome Club! As for the screen off i personally have mine at 456 max and have little to no issues, the only time I have a problem is if im streaming music in background when screens off it will occasionally freeze on me. But you can deff bring that down from 1000 max, i personally run my max processor main speed at 1000 just because there isnt really a need, for me atleast, to run it at 1300 lol just kills battery quicker, heats up phone, and its beyond snappy for me at 1000. As for undervolting, i personally gave up on it, i never saw a massive difference. The highest you can UV the Tegra2 is -100mV at any given clock speed. As for temps bringing your clock speeds down will lower your temps for sure, as long as your under 50 Celsius your pretty good from what ive seen around. As for the adding more profiles, its just adding more crap running in the background lol the only one I personally run is the screen off. If i feel the phone getting too hot I manually check temps via SetCPU and if its getting to be an issue back down the processor for a few.

Instead of typing all my profiles out, I just took a screenshot instead (go go just waking up lazy ness)

I've also got everything UV'd 100mv, but like w0lf215 said, I'm not 100% sure it makes a huge difference.

[Q] Very low benchmark scores in CPU benchmarks only...

Hey guys.
I'm having a weird issue on my Atrix. I'm currently running on Gingeblur v1.3 rooted with Gladroot.
As stated above for some reason all CPU benchmarks I run with the phone get me a much lower than the anticipated score for such a device.
I'm getting somewhere about 1350 in Quadrant and around 18 in Linpack, which i think are quite low compared to what other people are reporting.
Interestingly enough in GPU benchmarks this is not the case, I'm getting around 55 fps in Neocore which is about right i think for Atrix.
All apps run fine so i dont really think this is big issue but its very puzzling to say the least
Has anyone else had this issue before?
I have some screenshots if anyone is interested to help/advice as to what might be going on.

WOW are you sure that is an Atrix?
lol someone needs to look into this your Atrix is really slow.

[Q] Low speed when Its hot!!?

Im expecting a low speed in my phone when its hot.
For example, if I'm playing a game and reach a high temperature, SXS becomes low ( frame rate decrease considerably...)
Tested with need for speed and Nba JAM for example.
Do you expects the same issues?
Thanks

this is not an issue...
if your cumputer running hot, your comupter also became laggy... its because when the device running hot, your device is on max CPU/RAM usage
I don't agree with that.
Check this values:

Do you think 40 Celsius degrees is too hot?
And what about cpu at 810mhz?

40 degrees is that all? I've had previous phones go to 50+

The Processor will scale its self back to protect from thermal damage, just like a PC does.
40 deg does seam a bit low but TBH there is no heat sinks or heat fans ect to dissipate the heat so you may find that 40 deg is where the hardware testers found was safe and stable before the hardware went into thermal runaway. (cant stay at a stable temp just gets hotter and hotter)
what app is that i'll run it on all my phones and see what it says
food for thought

This.
The Xperia S seems to be programmed to keep internal temperatures under 40 degrees C. If it hits 40 degrees, it'll slow down charging rates, lower processor clocks, cut down the GPU... Basically whatever it takes to keep those temps at a level that the Sony engineers deemed an ideal limit.
Once it cools down, it'll be back to 100%.
It's not an issue, it's intentional on Sony's part.

Antutu strange results

Morning all!
Just downloaded antutu and keep getting scores between 8 -9000. Seems weird and other s3 users stock get 12000? Is there something wrong with my phone?
It also says that my cpu is a triple core arm7?
Thanks
Jonny

Long shot, but you're not in power saving mode by any chance are you?
if you are running the benchmarks when the temp is high ,then it will result in lower scores.
pls post your questions in Q & A section
Remove any cup related apps like setcpu and restart

I am getting 10k plus , am I missing anything ? by the way how's the credibility of antutu ?
Benchmark results depends upon how free your CPU is for ex: if you have rebooted your phone and instantly ran a benchmark you will attain low scores because CPU is busy loading apps and caching memory,also if you have lots of apps running in background will adversely affect scores.Whenever I run Quadrant right after booting my phone I get 5200 and few hours later it jumps to 5500! it clearly shows CPU needs some time to idle completely.
Dont use Antutu it sucks.Use quadrant it takes less time and gives better results.
If every thing is fine then you should see scores like that

AntuTu pretty consistent .
But as noted results vary i like to clear all programs and ram running start AnTuTu and carry out five tests taking highest as best .
Current average across all roms is around the 12100 mark .

[Q] Undervolting AND overclocking?

I know undervolting can help with battery drainage (say if you undervolt by 75) but is that actually "good" per se when also having overclocked? I currently have no undervolt or overclock but I can't help wondering since many have both UV'd and OC'd.
I doubt it, when I was uv and and not even oc, my phone got real hot quickly when playing games.

Nice try.
The main advantage to undervolting is less heat, as we all know the more current passes through something, the hotter it gets so obviously less current = (slightly) less heat.
There are battery savings to be had but I don't know how much.
I don't think we need to talk about overclocking.
Nor sure what drugs the guy above me with the picture is on.

I know that, but is undervolting good together with ocerclocking? I mean, if less current passes through the CPU, can it really bring out 1600 MHz? (if I were to overclock to that)
usually overclocking requires higher voltage to be stable.
when you try to push the cpu to clock faster than it is designed for, it requires more power to do so. (the voltage signal is degraded, like shouting over a waterfall, you need to shout louder to differentiate the V-high and V-low).
that is why you can undervolt the lower freqencies more than the higher one.
Not always true. I use -100mV on all steps. Perfectly fine because the voltage isnt the same across the board, but the UV is.

Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not for me.
What's the temperature you guys get?
My phone at times shoots to 38 - 40 degrees celsius on normal usage.
At my intensity of the work my phone never goes above 40 degree celsius in the normal use and it remains cool for the most of the time
It remains cool all the time and I'm loving Snapdragon already. My last device was RN4X with that terrible Mediatek Chipset and boy not only it's so power hungry, but also constantly go over 44C all the time, record was 47C and I thought it was gonna explode at that time. Below is a proof that I game a lot with this device, it's not PUBG but still demanding enough cause it runs in 60FPS.

I play PUBG at max settings and the CPU temp reaches 47-48° at times and the phone does get hot then. On average 42-44 provided I'm in a well ventilated environment. Anyone else with same readings ?

44 degrees in a well ventilated environment is quite a bit! Do you observe any throttling issues when the phone get's heated up?
I noticed the phone's getting heated up while on Facebook only when outdoors in daylight..
Does anyone have the same issue?
Overall speed is good...
App launching speed is very nice.
Multitasking is good...
Scrolling smoothness is also good...
Heating issue raises on video calling... Other than this there are no other issues with performance.
Gets hot in Summers
Gets really hot in summers 45+. But in other seasons no it was normal 35-40.
Never rises above 43 when gaming or charging. Average is 36-38.
