Question [Q] SetCPU Help?

Would setcpu work in this case just to lower clock speed of the phone? I'd like to lower it when the screen is off.
Current:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 16gb - Frost White

yea, if you're rooted, setcpu works without any problems. I have my at 1000 mhz min & max but you can set it however you like

It works, but you have to re run it every boot up, because it gets confused (you'll see an error when you run it after a reboot)
Gotta wait for a real update to it to support the stock kernel correctly.

Default Setcpu

Anyone successfully using setcpu on the nexus s? Seeing any benefit in battery life?

What governor are you using? Per directions of app, I try conservative but the phone never wakes up when using a sleep/conservative profile. Same thing happens with the superpower app with or without OnDemand force.

I have the same problem, I've tried a few different setups/governor settings and I still get the same issue. I have to pull the battery to get the phone to turn back on. Also I think the phone actually shuts off, according to an app called System Panel after I rooted and set up setcpu the phone shutoff shortly after I went to bed for the night.

On the epic, 100mhz is too low for the phone to wake up so 200 is the min

Snce the ns uses a humingbird, that might be the problem too

Try conservative on 200min 1000max and see if it'll wake up
