The cpu clocks up to do the job as fast as possible, so that it can go to sleep as soon as possible. Don't think you're smarter than the power management of your CPU, which makes decisions in milliseconds. The conservative governor was created to workaround buggy AMD processors that couldn&#0 (HowTos)

make CPU governor stick! 28 weeks 3 days ago

if you want your CPU governor to stick, search for the thread called No-frills CPU governor stick

...or, if you want to know how to do it without the app:

create a script with this in it...

Code: #/system/bin/sh while true do  echo conservative > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor  sleep 600 done

(where it says 'conservative', insert your pr

It's not entirely predictable, though it may have something to do with actual use -- that is, maybe the kernel and/or the hardware is deciding that I'm running too hot and forceably underclocking me...

Here's what I currently see, when things are working:

Hi all! Ok, so here's my problem. I have an AMD Phenom II x2 550 overclocked to 3.4Ghz. Currently I have cool 'n quiet enabled in the BIOS. Now, CNQ operates in steppings, and here is my output data from cpufrequtils:

Code: john@Mitsune:~$ cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 005: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006

Fresh install of Arch.

I have been trying to change the governer on my laptop from ondemand to conservative on my CPUs using "echo conservative > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"

It works but I have to go through and run that command on all my cpus from cpu0 tp cpu7.

I installed the new Blackout ICS ROM v.3.1.0

Issue with SetCPU (the free version posted here in XDA).

The default setting for this ROM is 1024 MHz with Performance as the Governor.

I tried changing the Governor from Performance to Ondemand. When I set it with SetCPU, the Ondemand governor takes over.

I wish that I could have a workstation at home and a laptop, but I can't. I live in a tiny cramped apartment in Korea, and frankly I really like working from coffeeshops and having one computer (a laptop) is the best solution. So I use an ivy-bridge i7 laptop. Problem is that it is fast. Why is that a problem? It is fast enough to not kick in the cpu-scaling-governor.

No Deep Sleep 44 weeks 1 day ago

Hello everyone, Im new here so I can't ask this in the development forums.

I'm using AOKP ice cream sandwich from TheWhisp. And my phone doesn't go into deep sleep. I've set the governor on conservative, ondemand and powersave but these don't bring the phone into deep sleep.

Sorry for my bad english

BUT, yes okay you had the problem before it was installed.Well, as for reporting it... I guess you could but you would need to be able to reproduce the problem.
