Does anyone know any good apps to check cpu usage that is known to be accurate, I have installed system panel and system tuner pro, both show all 4 core usage with on and sleep if cpu is not in use, the problem is all core 0,1,2,3.
both display different core in sleep mode at at the same time, example at the same time system panel shows core 1 and 2 in sleep mode, while system tuner pro shows core 1 and 3 in sleep mode, or just core 0 running and the other 3 sleeping.
so how do we know which is accurate and are these apps really that accurate.
thanks in advance.:victory:
CPU Spy
Check CPU SPY... Accurate and does not use any resources
anything to check all 4 core.
thanks
Hi,
Sorry, nevermind. Wrong reading.

system panel and system tuner pro are the one's installed already, both give me different results.
you can read my first post about the problem.
thanks

Is there an app to view the Real CPU temp on the Note, and not from the batt sensor? I contacted System Tuner devs to find out why the their app does not show CPU temp, and here is the response.
" This means the CPU temperature is* not available on your phone or it's notsupported by the app. Note however that many* apps on Market pretends toprovide CPU temperature while they only provide battery temperature!If you want to check if your phone has such information available, you cansearch the content of the /sys folders and all its subfolders for a filecontaining 'temp' in its name. Note you should use an automated tool forthat, such as EStrong File Explorer."

Try Temp+CPU app. I have pro version, and this allows me set update interval to as low as 1 second.

I tried the above app, and still no CPU temp reading. I do get batt temp reading(on every app I've tried). I have been reading and come to find out the Note may not have the CPU temp sensor. Can anyone confirm?

It works perfectly on mine. Its a widget though. Configure it to show reading too, in F or C, whatever you want.
Yes I tried and it shows a static -1c on mine. I wonder if it's kernel related? I read up on the issue and some say it needs to be activated at the kernel level or that the CPU temp diode is just not there.
I'm going to flash a stock kernel and test.

For me, it worked on stock, on Saurom, and on the latest Solaris prime, with all the kernels they bundled in.
I hope it's not a hardware issue with my note. I'm going to flash a different ROM, and test again.

Ok to test out I just bought the Temp+CPU app on my Infuse as well, and it doesn't show CPU temp either. Both phones show 31°F for CPU temp. Now in widget options when changing both phones to battery temp they work fine.

Galaxy Note CPU temperature
The Galaxy Note doesn't have a CPU temperature sensor.

Iirc both the note and the HP touchpad share similar if not the same processor...and the touchpad also doesn't show the temp. If it gets too hot it will just lock up and reboot. But its never gotten hot w/ overclocking

Every time i use my s3 it runs at 1400mhz almost all time. I haven't flashed any kernel. It is only rooted and i cant figure out what app is forcing cpu run so high. Only app what comes to my mind is touchwiz... (can't upload screenshot of cpu spy, i upload it with computer if needed.)

im sure the cpu would report other frequencies too. if you want to check the high cpu usage install os monitor from market and find the culprit app

Yeah it uses other frequencies too but only sometimes, it uses 1400mhz even when im just scrolling my homescreen but thanks i will try that app if it helps.

so what was the cause of this? did you ever find the reason? I even did a factory reset and still seeing 80+% usage at 1500 (or 1026 when i got power save on) with minimal time in deep sleep.

I didn't never find the reason.. but when I changed roms couple times it started to run at lower frequencies. It could be too newer android what solved problem.

For the right answer - use BetterBatteryStats (there is a free XDA-dev build somewhere around)
See title. I remember someone talking about it. Also, I remember seeing it the market but don't remember how I found it and can't duplicate the search.

well ro be honest with you. the second core is always enabled until the phone goes into sleep. from sleep mode, the kernel disables the second core. unless toy want the phon to run 1 core and then toggle the second core on demand?

System Tuner has an option to force all CPU's online, but that may only happen at boot, and not keep them online.
possible hijacked this application? for use on atrix? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10095647&postcount=22
System tuner will force both cores online. It can be set at boot or via init d. It will make your phone run hotter and increase battery drain. I didn't see enough of a performance increase to justify forcing both cores online. Logs show the second core kicking in when necessary.

Hey everyone, i Was wondering if it is possible to disable the 2nd core so it will run single core?
When checking System tuner, I see the second core jumps to 1.9 ghz some times, when using XSX kernel.

what's the main reason you want this?
The benefit of having 2 cores is that you can better multitask. If you want to save battery you could also try underclocking your cpu.
You would still have the benefit of multitasking with 2 cores and saving battery. (of course your phone would be less powerful, but that also goes for putting 1 core down)
I see cpu1jumping to 1.9 ghz a lot I dunno if it's a bug or what but doing nothing and just idle with screen on it jumps up from offline to 1.9.
So I was just wondering if it's possible to turn it off completely or make it jump to a lower clock.
Battery is good if screen turned off, but screen on it consumes battery fast, and my clock is normally 1.5 ghz ondemand, and cfg

I would like to know what your thoughts are on usage of these apps, do they work?
I have personally used,
Greenify
Es task manager
Du battery saver and there cleaner app
But I have read they use more ram then they free up etc..
Also xcore, and core2 management. (these shut down one core on dual core devices) Do these save battery or not? Surely since these phones are generally optimized for dual core processors, closing one causes the remaining core to work twice as hard and wont save any?
Are any if these applications worth having?

Since few weeks I'm using greenify, but can't see any difference.
However since the beginning of my android adventure I'm using advanced task killer, set it to aggressive mode. This does the job pretty good (specially the older versions).
I'll have to try those core disabling apps.

Core 2 doesn't even work.

Ok strange, I thought it was because the s4 was quad core but just checked and the zoomis dual core.
How do you know it doesn't work? I checked via cpustats app (free in the app store) it shows when I use xcore or core2 manager that one of the cores are off line.
You could try xcore?

OK. Also I wondered since your zoom has a xenon flash, can you still get torch apps etc? I bet its bright if you can.

You can't use xenon as torch and I don't own this device anymore.

Du battery saver is useless app. Basically all these battery saving apps do things which you can do from Status Bar. (Like switch off Wi-Fi, Data, B/T etc).
Greenify is good app to freeze apps, but shows effect only if you freeze large number of apps.
But xcore, core2 and CPU Controlling apps are best. They give major battery boost.
I don't have dual core, but if I underclock my phone's CPU I get battery boost of 2-3 days.

See when I use xcore etc my phone slows but battery seems to drain just as quick. Then there are goveners and io schedulers, if I use interactivex does that only use one core until the second core is needed?

I don't know about interactivex. I own a single core phone.
But disabling 2nd core definately gives battery boost.
I have tested it on my Laptop. Disabling 2nd core gives lot of battery boost (and a bit of lag).
