So I rooted my phone a couple months back. I started messing with the set cpu app and can not get it to give me decent battery life. Example. I am at 79% available battery left. It is saying that estimated time it will run out is in 3 hrs and 51 minutes. The best I ever had it was at around 10 hours on a fresh full charge.
I am running:
Android 2.2
Baseband 2.15.00.11.19
kernel version [email protected] #7
Build number: myn's warm twopointtwo (RLS 5)
software number 3.70.651.1
Browser Version Webkit 3.1
PRI Version 1.90_003
PRL Version 60676
I have no idea if that info helped, but just in case. Now for my other question in regards to rom manager. I bought the premium version. I tried downloading 3 different cyanogenmod's through the rom downloader in Rom Manger. All three attempts failed for some reason. Sometimes it would say Bad Zip File. Tried A different one. Next failed download said operation timed out. I tried the stable releases and the candidates. Every single one of them took absolutely forever to download.
Any suggestions? I have been on the computer all day researching forum after forum. So please do not tell me to keep searching, I've done all I can. Could the setcpu settings be affecting my downloading?
Thanks in advance, all help is appreciated.
Well I tried downloading cyanogen again. This time I turned on the 4g and it finished downloading in just a few minutes.
Now back to setcpu lol. I want some amazing battery life guys. Help me out
Try switching kernels. I was using nets 4.2.1 more have smartass kernel. And would get maybe 18 hours of battery life. I've heard battery life has everything to do with kernels.
All I do with set CPU is make a profile for 245/245 when screen off. I really didn't see much difference underclocking for battery life
Good luck

I actually have seen a difference by underclocking. I pretty much just put it at the minimum I need for my phone to not lag. I don't run any heavy apps or games, but I use ADW Ex & a ton of widgets. I'm usually good at 499-768 for the max. If I'm doing something more taxing, I'll push it up a little but I never need to overclock.
I'm using the latest kernel from savagedzen. It's an sbc kernel, and I know the risks, but I get better battery life than I've ever experienced. I use the savagedzen governor as well for the best battery & performance.
It really depends on your usage, trial & error was what got me to where I am now.
I would use a screen off profile if you aren't already, this will do more good than just undervolting.
If your battery life is horrendous, check Spare Parts for "partial wake usage". If there's anything in there that's really high, I would uninstall it or change it's settings. This is keeping your phone from sleeping properly.
I just bought 3 1500mah batteries & an external charger on eBay for ~$10. This way I'll have 3x the battery life & I can save the other for emergencies. I'd suggest doing something similar. There are extended batteries, but it makes your phone fatter, so I skipped on that.

I'd have to agree with what she says. Though, if you are using a HAVS kernel, using setcpu counter balances the two, so no need to use it. You can also change the governor of your rom to smartass, which is almost like a setcpu+. As for screen off, I would use 128/128 for minimum power draw. On CM7, I use smartass governor or conservative, with 128/614 as my max, no lag whatsoever. If I play a rom, I may up it to ~700 and still great performance. I bought an extended battery as a test and gives longer battery life, but does make it thicker, and slightly heavier, and I can still get a little over a day on the stock battery. Also remember to turn off your radios when not in use.

CM7 had a few too many hickups for my patience, such as no 3g or wifi was working, and a few other things. so i am going to try and use one that is more stable. Now one thing i noticed throught out the day was that my sd card had little space left on it. I want to empty things out I do not need or use. How can I know what it is okay to delete and what I shouldnt delete?
I love the functionalities of the cyanogens. Are you saying that the cyanogen had its own built in governor? Also do you use rom manager for your kernels and roms?

Well everything is working in CM7...wifi, 3G, and 4G. I'm on the latest nightly with no issues. And well what types of files do you have? Check you backups, in the clockwork folder, also the get folder also in there, if you have premium and download roms, as they take up space. Also app folders for things you don't use anymore. And yes, i have a built in governor, currently on smartass setting. And I flip between amon_ra and clockwork, currently on clockwork; I have no preference. And I occasionally use I use it to download a rom, but normally transfer it from the computer to the phone.

You may have been in a low signal area, or it had trouble connecting. May have been a bad flash. And you can download CM7 in rom manager, but you can only get RC1 and RC2, you can download the nightlies only if you have the premium rom manager. I most download and transfer from my lappy.

That's awkward, but you can try that. As for the back up of the rom, just go into rom manager, and click backup rom, it'll back it up. Then if thigns go wrong/you don't like the current rom, you can boot into recovery and then flash it as it was then. I'm on 19, no problems whatsoever.

well the 3g still hasnt come on in two days no matter where i go so i dont know what to do. I couldnt figure out how to provision it. BUt it is by far my favorite rom yet. I just wish the damn 3g would work. Roxxors, could there be a way for me to transfer all of my files to my computer, and then just put what i need on my sd card to kind of start fresh?
Yea, mount your sdcard to the comp by usb, then enable disk mount, open the sdcard folder, copy what you want. Then you can do a factory reset/format sdcard, and start over that way.

okay thats what i was going to try. i was thinking that the only things I need to leave on the sd card is the clockwork folders? Does that sound right? For some reason every single cyanogenmod I have downloaded and installed will not connect my 3g. Every other rom I flash works just fine.

My phone is rooted and has s-off but I have a few issues. One is almost half the time when I hit the power button the screen doesn't turn on instantly but the soft buttons light up. It usually takes me hitting it 2-3 times swiftly to get my screen on. Another issue is sometimes wifi calling gets screwed up so it doesn't work and it drains my battery as a background task stuck on restarting. I really only want my phone overclocked so just have baconbits kernel. is there a newer version I should put on that fixes these issues?

Baconbits, to my knowledge, is the only OCd kernel available for the stock ROM. Your screen issue might actually be caused by underclocking though, do you have a screen off profile or a minimum set?

Give the overclock widget a try. Its available free on the market. In the advanced setting, set your screen off profile to 245 min and 806 max. Scroll down and hit "save" before you exit settings. That will keep your phone running at stock speeds while the screen is off and should stop the wake issue you're having. When you're using the phone you'll be at the higher speeds.
I already had the widget. Did what you said but it still occurs.

245 is *way* too low, especially if you have things running in the background ... just start raising the lower end up until it stops happening.

Setting it to stay at 800 while the screen is off seemed to fix it. Any ideas about wifi calling bugging out? It usually doesn't happen very often, I think when my phone has been on for a while without a restart.
overclock widget doesn't overclock anything.... it controls the speeds AFTER you've installed an overclock kernel. I highly suggest using flippys turbocharged 1.8ghz kernel. Just because it is capable of 1.8ghz doesn't mean that you need to run it at 1.8ghz. you can just do something like 1.1 or something in between. Give it a look.

set the off screen profile to the lowest speed 200/200mhz and 100% priority and he wont have anymore wake issues, don't know what I was reading hahaha
The screen on issue doesn't happen anymore but I'm not satisfied with my battery life. In the past something was causing my battery to drain insanely fast so I un installed a bunch of unused apps and started checking background tasks but when browsing the internet for 20 minutes on my way home I use 30% of the battery, bluetooth on.

Anyone know if it is possible to run Pershoot's kernel on the stock rom that comes with the device? Any side effects?
I don't know enough to say 100% one way or the other, but I read in a post I can't find right now that only BaconBits is made to work with the stock rom.
FWIW, I tried to flash the 1.8 GHz kernal on my stock G2 this morning, and got stuck in a boot loop.
On AndroidCentral people are saying they have improved battery life with CM7 nightlies. I'd like to try running a ROM finally. Do I need to get rid of my Baconbits kernel before proceeding? I already backed up everything with Titanium.

NO. The first thing you need to do is flash clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, which is totally different than ROM Manager. As of right now the latest clockworkmod available through ROM Manager is 2.5.1.3. If you haven't flashed that yet (2.5.1.3) do that first through ROM Manager. The best way to flash 3.0.0.5 is to find the .img file, place it on your sd card and run the commands from terminal emulator. After that just wipe data/factory reset, wipe davlik cache and flash the latest nightly .zip, reboot, then the latest gapps .zip. Go to the development forum and the first post in the nightly vendor vision thread has all the links you'll need.
Hi all, this is my first post and I'm a n00b to rooting, but don't let that stop you from reading on since I'm an advanced user and hope I can add some value here. Honestly, don't know what took me so long to do this. Posting to the Q&A forum since I can't yet post to the RC1 Dev forum.
My main goals for rooting were to get out from under Sprint's downgrade of my Swype beta (I should never have installed that OTA update, duh), upgrade to GB, and get better performance (battery especially).
I tried lots of the GB ROMs so far and experienced some of the reported problems like cycling reboots, slow/non-responsive market, CM skate anim cycling, etc. Some ROMs had swype, some didn't and most produced the licensing issue discussed in these forums when trying to install the latest beta.
Long story short, I've found a very stable and fast performing combo that I thought I'd share, and ask a question about. Here's what I did:
In recovery, Format_all, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik.
Install RC1, install the latest GB google apps and restart.
3G performance was piss poor, and I want wimax (more Geeees!), so I installed the toast wimax kernel (and antipasto font which I'm loving), cleared caches again, restarted and now 3G performance was faster than I think it has ever been. [EDIT: WiFi now an issue] and GPS are fast and stable. Best part, I was able to download and install the very latest Swype beta on this ROM.
A couple things that need addressing though:
'Cell standby' is a somewhat high percentage battery drain which I'll try to tackle through other reported methods (could be wimax searching/standby?). That said, battery life is still very good and way better than sprint/sense, even under heavy/constant use.
USB issues: Enable USB debugging and notify. Icon shows in notification bar. Disable debugging, but leave notify checked. Debugging icon still shows. Tied to this is the inability to select the mount/charge options, which others have recently reported in the RC1 Dev forum. So can't mount to PC. Any updates on how to resolve?
WiFi is now non-functional on my office AP.
WiMax control settings not showing up since they aren't there with this ROM/kernel combo for some reason. Any/all ideas welcome on this point too.
Slow market downloads, even though speedtest shows 527kbps down.
Thanks again everyone for this great community!
I haven't had any luck with my phone on my office AP (3COM) since I got this darn phone. For some odd reason it gets the wrong gateway and I have to set it up manually from the terminal if I want to use it after connecting. Check your gateway when you connect and see what you are getting.

WiMax isn't in RC1 yet. You can get an alpha build that Shinzul has up. Or wait until the Final release which should have WiMax and HDMI working.
Thanks, I'll check the gateway, and will check out Shinzul's alpha.
Had my first auto reboot today, and Sms is not working right (yes, less than 160 chars and not mms). Might have spoken too soon about this combo...

Keep in mind that the "Percentages" will always total a 100%. Something will always be big.
So to me I WANT TO See Cell Standby be high. That means nothing stupid in the OS is chewing it up. And Cell Standby isn't effected all that much except the Radio Firmware (and settings) !! So be careful what you wish for.
The problem for me is, on sense you can uncheck radio always on to remove that cell standby huge drain. On froyo you can use juice defender. But on cm7 you can do neither. So I need to turn it on and off manually. Very annoying, anybody have a solution?
If you install CM7 nightly build #6 (today's build), it now has support for WiMax and SMS splitting.
juice defender is failing me. and i reeeeeallly hate turning data on and off manually. any suggestions? i'm new to aosp so i'm a bit lost rigt now.
Just use the expanded notification bar and toggle data. You're not gonna be able to shut off the radio without airplane mode.

Unfortunately I think some permissions changed within Android 2.3 which CM7 uses and JuiceDefender just doesn't work on it yet. You're only other option is to flash CM6 (Android 2.2) if you must have JuiceDefender working in ASOP.

ya it looks like thats the case. sucks cause it is taking a really high toll on my battery. i hope somebody will put it into one of the next builds soon.
Continuing from my OP, I'm now off RC1 and onto Nightly #12 with WiMax. WiMax when on is a huge battery drain and I'll be doing some post-reading to figure out if someone has found a way to set a WiMax antenna polling frequency so that it can sleep for periods when not connected.
That said, the WiMax is nice and fast...so I only enable it with the notification bar widget when I need speed or talk/data simultaneously. I also use a new version of Setting Profiles (Full version) to toggle the Wimax on/off based on where I am -- note that this is a test version sent to me by the developers as I've been helping them test this feature. So I don't know if it's in the latest market release version, but if you are a paid owner of that app, just email them and ask for it (although the updated market release is likely not far off if it's not out already).
With the XDA-sponsored SetCPU on and no WiMax, I'm actually getting great standby times in the double-digit number of hours, which has been a first for me with this phone! I know there are some great posts out there about manual conditioning of the battery, which I'm eager to try, and other useful battery-related posts.
I am running CM7 RC1 and I have to say I love it. The first couple of days after flashing I was experiencing terrible battery life. I mean 5 hours or less. I finally flashed Savage-Zen kernel and used the "smartass: governor in CM settings. My battery was better, but Cell Standby was still draining all the battery. I wiped the dalvik cache again and it helped some. but I think the best thing I did was disable google backup settings. Keep in mind before I flashed the kernel and battery life was horrible I wasnt using it heavily, WiFi was off completely, I toggled mobile data on and off as needed, and didnt let anything except for weather autosync. I had maybe 10 applications as well. Once I flashed Savage-zen, used smartass, and disabled Backup data to google servers. MY battery lasts over 2 days with moderate usage with mobile data always on and gmail and weather auto synced.
As far as bug-wise, the only thing I have experienced so far is sometimes there is a slight delay when unlocking the phone and getting the lockscreen to show. Sometimes when the button is pressed to unlock, the bottom touch buttons light up, but the lockscreen takes like 5 seconds to appear.
One more thing is the GPS icon stays in the notification area once it has been turned on and back off.
All in all I can say now that I have amazing battery life, I love CM7 and will not use anything else besides CM7. I cannot wait until the stable release is out. GO CyanogenMod Team!
Hello, I have my Epic 4G rooted with One-click, running Twilight Kernal 1.1.0 and SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0.... I've got two issues that I can't figure out.
1. It seems whenever I play a game, my phone freezes up while I'm playing and I can't do anything except pull the battery. (Which leads to number 2)
2. So far (except once) whenever I pull the battery to reboot the phone without turning it off first, When it boots back up the majority of my apps all FC on boot. My only option that I have found for this is to wipe the phone and restore with Titanium, although that can be a big pain (not as bad as without a backup lol)
So I have no idea what's going on or how to correct these issues. I've googled my issues and have found situations close to mine, but not close enough to count towards me taking any steps toward it. Thanks in advance.
Number 1- your phone is freezing due to the undervolts that are present in the kernel. U need to flash another kernel.
2. The reason for all the force closes is journaling is disabled so that is causing corrupted data. You can turn journaling on if you just make a backup and restore from that backup. Then you would t have all the force closes the next rime u do a battery pull.

Let's deal with number 2 first. Because you have journaling off, there is no write verification on your phone so whenever you do an improper shutdown it will corrupt a lot of data. The fix is to turn journaling on. Easiest way is to go into Clockwork, do a nand backup and restore.
For number 1, what clock speeds are you running? Words with Friends locks up on me on ANY overclocking or undervolting. So running either SetCPU or Voltage control try capping out at 1GhZ and try your game again.
Guess we were answering at the same time MH, you beat me by a few seconds LOL.
Thanks for the replies so far. So to turn on journaling, all I have to do is boot into clockword and make a backup? If not could you please give me some easy steps or point me in the right drection? I'm still really new to this. As far as the cpu undervolting, I know setcpu isn't free, at least not that I found. I'm gonna check voltage control (hopefully its free). Are there any other recommended cpu control apps?

Backup and restore in CWM. Your freezes will be solved by switching to VisionKernel 1.1 or Genocide.

Thanks for the replies so far. So to turn on journaling, all I have to do is boot into clockword and make a backup? If not could you please give me some easy steps or point me in the right drection? I'm still really new to this. As far as the cpu undervolting, I know setcpu isn't free, at least not that I found. I'm gonna check voltage control (hopefully its free). Are there any other recommended cpu control apps?

Like K0nane said you have to then restore that same backup. And Voltage control works very well with Genocide and there is very detailed instructions in Genocide OP.
Soo... Now that mothers day is almost here, and im done with all that crap, now I have time to work on this lol. So what do you guys suggest? Vision or genocide? Are there ups and downs to choosing one over the other? Btw, I did the backup/restore thing and so far no issues, thanks again for that.

Both kernels are fantastic. Read their descriptions for their varying features. Be sure to use VisionKernel 1.1 for now rather than 1.2.
I have my cpu settings on 245 245 powersave when the screen is off, yet I'm still getting horrible battery. I use my phone extremely lightly, maybe once in a while to listen to music. Check my emails, chat every so often. I use to get 48 hours with light usage. Seems I cant figure what is causing my battery to drain. I have a craigslist app, I had one search enabled so I deleted that to see how much it will effect. Does google talk drain that much? In the past it was fine. My usage shows the 2 main ones are cell standby and phone idle. Any tips on finding out what exactly is draining my battery? Im running CM 7.0.2??, latest stable, forgot. Koni's was the same. I thought maybe sense drained the battery, but it doesnt seem to be the problem.
Click the link in my sig and run that battery conditioning routine for one. What kernel are you using?
And dump SetCPU. Useless app, seriously...
1. Update to the latest stable version...7.0.3.1 released this morning.
2. Google talk could be draining, but I've never used it
3. Perhaps install it under a clean install and see if that helps.
Get tge system panel app. It'll show you what apps and everything that's eating your battery. Does the kernal your on perflock unlocked for over /under clocking cause if it isn't setcpu doesn't work.

+1 SetCPU is great for Sense ROMs, but not necessary for CM based ROMs.
looks to me like you were in pretty crappy coverage. that makes the phone work hard. it's justifiable that you'll have a lot of battery drain then, even while sleeping.
you can greatly reduce this by:
1: upgrade to newest cm7
2: flash a custom kernel. may i reccomend tiamat 4.0.1?
3: put your governer on smartass, and uninstall setcpu. smartass does it better.
4: use a bsm from viperboy. they decrease voltages. work almost too well.
5: USE JUICEDEFENDER! this will save a ton of battery in low coverage, because it turns off 3g when screen is off. this still lets you get calls and texts, but with mobile data off, your battery will last much longer while sleeping.
what prl are you on?
Hi guys,
Hoping you all can help me. I installed Vipermod and undervolted 50mV. Running MIUI 1.7.22 with Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC. Also have SetCPU runnings with various profiles. Whenever I turn my phone on it'll work for a little bit and then freeze or restart itself. Should I just nand backup to without the vipermod, or is there a way for me to edit a script with the settings to remove the undervolt setting. I'm afraid of running a nand backup and the phone freezing in the middle. Thanks, appreciate any help.
As long as you have a full charge, a nand restore is usually a pretty fool proof way to fix any problems.
That vipermod is something most kernel devs don't mess with because of exactly what you are saying. There is some benefit if you can get it to work flawlessly, but it's hard to get it to do that.
I recommend a complete wipe, then restore your last nand. Again, just make sure you have plenty of battery whenever you restore a nand backup. The only thing that can really completely brick your phone is if it dies in the middle of doing something like that.
Here's Viperboys BSM_PSM_reset script, flash this in recovery if you get stuck in a bootloop.
Also, if you have the updated setCPU, goto the main screen and press menu, you'll see an option to download their "safe mode" zip file which you also flash in recovery
The BSM_PSM_RESET zip restores your kernel to its default settings, the setCPU zip you download restores setCPU to default settings as well

I believe this is heat related!!! I am getting intermittent, but daily reboots and every time the phone feels hot. Usually I get the reboots whenever the phone is working hard, playing a game or using google maps. I always wipe EVERYTHING when flashing roms and the last two day I decided to do some fresh installs of AOSP and quality Sense roms(all GB) and I didn't load any new apps after install. Guess what!?!?! Still getting reboots and the phone is hot when it reboots. I then pull the battery cover and put it on a cool spot or in front of the AC and it boots and runs great as long as it is being cooled. I've been a huge HTC and Android supporter since day one, but at 13 months old I shouldn't have to deal with this especially when I baby the phone. I hate to say it but I may have to switch to the evil empire. Their phones just work and keep working, oh and their battery last all day, maybe two days on one a single charge.
If you read this post because you are having the issue please make note if the phone is hot when it reboots. Allot of people believe this is software related, I on the other hand believe it is heat and hardware related. Unfortunately I refuse to lose root and go return mine... UGH!!!
No offense, really, but I do NOT understand SetCPU. People use it to overclock, for what reason?? Are you planning on Playing COD BO on your phone?? Or do rocket science?
