using setCPU

i just installed SetCPU, one last attempt to get rid of the lockscreen lag..
i installed it, created a profile.. selected Screen Off, set a max of 1200, minimum of 500. i selected the scaling to be ondemand (they recommend it for the SGS2 apparently, i dont know wat it means) but so far the lag remains the same.. around 1-2 seconds. not improved at all. do i have to set the minimum even higher? im not sure i wanna go higher coz this woudl probably drain my battery like a sink. lol
 
In my opinion the screen lag has nothing to do with the CPU but I could be wrong. Try it higher and see if it fixes it.
 
Is 1-2 second really a lag. It takes me longer to remember why I took my phone phone out of my pocket. Anyway I don't seem to get any lag using Villairom 2.3. But to be honest I can't say I ever noticed it before I flashed.
 
i know it sounds like nothing, but seriously it bugs me.. especially when its often closer to 2 seconds or even more. and it definitely is a lag. none of the other android phones ive used has it, and it really makes a difference to the feel. its one of the first things i noticed using it, and probably my only disappointment..i'll try pushing the cpu higher n report back

EDIT: pushed to 1ghz, still the same.. i guess its not CPU after all? or setCPU doesnt work. lol

Didn't think it would be the cpu. I'm guessing its the way the firmware is wrote and something to do with sleep.
 
well i guess that means its fixable, right.. i keep hoping that one of these many firmware upgrades fixes it

I would say its mostly firmware. On stock rom the lag was quite obvious when trying to wake the phone. Then on villain rom 2.3 the lag got better and now on Cyanogen mod the lag is almost gone (wakes up quite quickly most of the time and the home button lag is gone also =))
 
Actually it is a pretty normal anomaly especially when your device wakes up from deep sleep. The CPU is placed into lower mode and the OS placed into suspend, everything has been shut off.
