I'm using the setcpu app and whenever I apply a "when screen off" profile and put my phone to sleep it won't turn back on. I set it to 200-400mhz and it doesn't turn back on and I think the govenor is conservative.
I am running randomrom pheonix with genocide 2.0 kernel.
Can anyone tell me what they have their profile set as or what is a good low value I can set my phone to so that it still runs but doesn't waste too much battery life while its off. Any kind of help is appreciated.

Don't use profiles
I wish I could be of more assistance, but basically, I remember many of the more experienced forum members here suggesting that you do *not* use profiles with SetCPU on the Epic 4G.
I am running the Genocide 2.0 kernel on my Epic with SetCPU set to a max of 1120 and min of 100 MHz, with no profiles set and the governor set to conservative. Haven't had any issues.
Also, I use a widget called Temp+CPU PRO that dynamically shows you the clock speed of the CPU, so you can tell when it's at 100 MHz and so forth.
From what I've seen, the speed of the CPU ramps down to 100 MHz on its own when the phone is idle.
Oh.. well I have never seen that.. I heard ppl talking about setcpu is better than voltage control so I thought it was cuz of the profiles.
So about how many hours do u get out of ur phone? What rom r u using with that kernel?

Lol well I use internet a lot for downloading stuff and I txt all day long get a few phone calls and I average a couple hours.. yesterday I played a game and downloaded some music talked a lil and txt the whole time and it lasted from 10 30am until like 1pm and I had 8%. I don't understand how ppl can say they get over 20 hours.
Sometimes I can make it last 12 hours but that's when I just txt and don't do nothing else.

There are a lot of good posts on here about maximizing your battery life. Most of it requires some functionality to be sacrificed, so it's all about your personal preferences.
Our AMOLED screens are purty, so even though I keep mine dim to save battery, once in a while, say when watching a movie on the phone, I'll crank up the brightness all the way to make the visuals pop. Do a few searches, read up, and then tweak, tweak, and tweak some more until you find that "sweet spot" that works for you.
Of course, hooking yourself up with one of those monster 3500 mAh batteries wouldn't hurt, either. Just sayin'

I know I read a lot and I do like everything they say but don't get the same result as they say and I use screen filter so my brightness is alwas reallly low
And idk how to use tweaks really well I found this battery tweak thing and I believe all it really does it change the mhz the phone runs on but I could b wrong
And I used supercharge v6but idk if it works I don't notice any changes.
So now I just changed to eh17 modem and removed all apps I don't use and only have a few. I froze the thingsi know waste battery and I don't have nothing thatuses the battery I think.. so is there any tweaks u know r good?
Make sure you freeze sns and drm services with a bloat freezer of mybackuppro's toolbox tht saves me like a couple percents of battery an hour. Also I have tried setcpu, voltage control, pimp my cpu, but my favorite overall is tegrak

I wouldn't use the screen off profiles. You only would need them if your trying to have your phone never go into deep sleep for some reason. Not to say the settings would cause this, but your phone should hit deep sleep after 10 or so seconds of screen off making this setting quite useless. Also if your running genocide you need to be using on demand! You can set the throttle up % in the advanced tab of setcpu. If you wanna utilize profiles what I do is set it to throttle down the cpu as my battery dies. Saing juice for those crucial lower percentages.
Cd's or tapes?

I'm saying don't bother with the screen off profile, first of all. Secondly don't run conservative with genocide! Its geared for ondemand (unless your trying to save your battery by not overclocking at all) and ondemand is configured by going into the advanced tab and configuring the usage percantage of your cpu to switch to the next highest frequency at a certain percentage. I use 98% and I get pretty darn good battery life. I don't know if it helps or not, but I also set powersave bias on 25. Just post if I'm still confusing you.
Cd's or tapes?
No I get it now ur talking about the up threshold right?
I flashed this battery tweak and I went to check it right not the up threshold is set to 95 I guess the tweak changed it cuz I remember checking it before and everything said -1. But thanks I get it. So if I had my phone set to 200-1200mhz and ondemand and when I have a high battery level I higher the thrshold and as I lost battery I lower it...?

A lot of that is unneeded. I have System Panel, but only use it if I'm having problems with an app. Rarely is there a use for watchdog. On stable ROMs, I've never seen an app get out of control, and rarely on betas. So it justs sits in the background eating battery itself. Also try, using a stock speed, undervolted battery with SetCPU. If I'm trying to make mine last, I have a screen off profile of powersave 384/245, and regular of 700-800ish (I forget)/245 conservative.

Up threshold
ignore Nice load
Powersave bias
mine currently are 40000,70,0,0
i'm trying to find a good setting for best battery life b/c i'm constitenly on my phone all day!!!

generally speaking there are two types of people who are employees for phone companies:
A) someone who just wants a paycheck
B) geeks like us who like to hack and mod and tinker
A will tell you that hacking will void warranty, blah blah blah....mostly because they don't know much about what stuff is. B will tell you what they know, and admit when they don't know something.
it sounds like your friend is falling into the A category, especially if they're saying "mods don't change much". they change quite a bit, so be careful.
as far as your question in the OP, with my eris i would just mess with stuff, and see how the phone runs. don't save to run at boot until you know it's stable and will not crash or freeze your phone. adjust settings, and see how it responds, repeat as necessary.

Yes you have to disable perflock.
I only adjusted my power bias to 650 I think which is 65%. 1000 being 100% and 10 being 1%. All this does is make sure you cpu stays on the lower end of the usage. I have a 2150 and stream pandora a lot and always have 3g running, I go online and everything and I get 2 days of usage with a down clock and some profiles.

[Q] cm7 cpu setting or setcpu?
well atm i am running an evo 4g with cm7 and i just switched my kernel to savaged zen and it's running great. my phone was rebooting on its own w/ the regular cm7 kernel i think its b/c i was using setcpu and people are saying it messes up cm7.
so i was wondering if anyone knew if i can use setcpu with cm7 and savaged as the kernel or if it's possible to make profiles on the cpu settings on cm7 i saw some1 post somewhere that you can but they never explained how.
p.s. please also visit this thread on battery life
AFirst of all, all SavagedZen kernels are Havs kernels (as far as I remember, I'll double check in a few). Anyway, if you are using a Havs kernel, changing cpu settings is pointless/counteractive. I would either leave the settings alone or switch to a no-havs kernel. You can check in settings>about phone.
EDIT: However, if you must mess with the settings, you can find them in Cyanogenmod Settings under Performance Settings. I don't know of a way to set profiles from that screen, though - only max/min & governor.
hi i have an evo running cm7 and i had setcpu and my phone kept restarting however i looked up setcpu again in the market and it said that they just ran an update to stop the problem with cm7, does this mean that setcpu is better to use than the cpu setting in cm7?

You shouldn't need setcpu use the cpu setting in cm7. They put it there for a reason, those guys are sharp!
I still use setcpu because I like my screen off profiles etc. You should update your setcpu if it prompted you to. I think the latest changes were for cm7/GB.

I believe the SavageZen governor is a specially tweaked/optimized version of the SmartAss governor.
And if you use Smartass/SavageZen governor, I think it also automatically undervolts when sleeping, and essentially mimics what a screen-off profile in SetCPU would do.

In CM Settings, go to Performance Settings & then CPU settings. Under available governors choose SavagedZen or Smartass. I'd try them out & see which you like the most. I prefer SavagedZen, I seem to get better battery life & performance.

Personally I have never needed a task killer while on CM7, so I am going to recommend against it.
Well I had talked to someone else that is using it like that and they said they get amazing battery life
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I say no toward any kind of task killer. First of all, they're pointless. You're killing stuff that isn't using any power to begin with, which then restarts anyway. The task killer itself is actually doing something, running on a set schedule, where as the tasks you're killing are just sitting in memory for faster opening.
It bugs me that even the techs at Sprint recommend it, so every person that doesn't know anything about how their phone works thinks it's necessary. Then in the market for every clock widget you see everyone going "like zomg the clock doesn't keep time your app sucks 1*" because the damn task killer is killing it. That's if they can even figure out how to use it & not complain that it "won't open", despite clear instructions on how to put a widget on your screen.
Sorry, totally went off on a rant there.
But yeah, stay away from task killers & let Android do its job. You don't have to have a ton of memory free for your phone to run perfectly fine under normal usage. I don't notice a difference between 300mb & 50mb free. If you don't worry about it, you won't either.
Free memory does not equal more battery.

Underclocking wont hurt ur phone. Neither will undervolting. Overclocking wont hurt it but will sacrifice battery life and also if u overclock to high Ull get constant rebooted. Try to keep it under 1198. Also watch what what governor u choose. I usually use conservative for better battery life but I've seem on demand and interactive work well also.
Also noticed if u underclock to 294 or lower u sometimes get a problem where when u get a call and the phone screen isn't on it has a hard time waking up plus phone lags as well

Underclocking will not hurt your phone but some phones do not like to be underclocked and you may crash from time to time. The best thing is to start out with the default CPU Settings. You can experiment with raising the max and lowering the min (using SetCPU) but do not check the box for "Set at Boot" until you are sure they are stable. That way if it is not and you reboot it will not set it right back to an unstable value after the reboot.
The area where people seem to have a problem underclocking is lowering the min clock to 128MHz. Some phones do not like to go that low. I had great results leaving the min at 245MHz and changing the max to 768MHz.
Another detail about Freedom. This kernel uses Undervolting to save power. There are four levels. You choose the level by the file you download. It is not configurable.
Freedom: No Undervolting
Less Freedom: -50mV
More Freedom: -100mV
Aggressive Freedom: -150mV
If you start with Aggressive and find it to be unstable then move down to More, then Less and finally Freedom.
I've recently installed setcpu and kinda fiddled around with it too much. Is there a way to go back to default setting? Do I just uninstall and reboot?
I downloaded it at first to see if it can help with some performances in games but not really sure if it can help.
Any recommended settings for playing games? And then settings for normal/easy use of the device?
I'm currently on Telus, rooted device no CWM or other ROM or Kernels (Read setcpu actually doesn't take affect until custom kernel?)
Thanks again!
I use setcpu to under clock my phone to save battery, I also have a profile set up so it uses minimal cpu while the screen is off again to save on battery. Other than that games play amazing on here haven't had any issues. I what issues are you having?

GTA 3 seems to be sluggish and lagging a decent amount. NOVA 3 seems to lag a bit as well, especially online it lags a crap ton (I doubt it's my wireless issue as other games seems to play fine over wifi).
Would you mind sharing one of your profiles for when the screen is off/sleep mode? I read a few threads and thought that is a great idea as some people have a profile from 12am-7am where the cpu is barely running and is near deep sleep mode of some kind.
Sorry to be bothersome but what were the default values for the cpu? I'm not sure what the ondemand and cfq mean. And do I need a custom kernel for setcpu to take affect? On the playstore someone commented that you need a custom kernel
Default is on demand cfq. The profile I have setup is for whenever I turn the screen off min 594, max 702. I've tried setting it lower but I find it makes it sluggish when I wake the phone up. As far as your games lagging I wouldn't be able to help you. Just make sure that power saver is turned off cause that defaults your cpu down to 1ghz max.

For the main, would it be okay to have max at 1512mhz and min at 384mhz? And would it be safe to have it max 1512mhz and min 1512mhz for games?
Yeah having your cpu running at maximum is fine, and during games having it cranked all the way up is fine too. Only thing to take into consideration is your battery.

Thanks,
Does anyone else have any thoughts to share?
My own setcpu settings are
384-1728 with Battery above 50%
384-1458 below 50%
384-1134 below 30%
384-810 below 15%
msm-dcvs scaling for all of them
Yesterday that put me at 39 hours and 20 minutes from 100% charge to 1% with pretty minimal use.

Hey try a different scaling that that.
I read in a different thread that msm-dcvs was Samsungs stock scaling mode and that it was pretty good.
I tried it out and my phone lagged horribly on home screen videos and keyboard.
I since changed it and everything is running super smooth again
Just thought I'd let you know that's it's not all that's it's cracked up to be..

Hmm, I tried it out out based on feedback in another thread, but I haven't had any lag personally. What would you recommend? I was using Ondemand, and it seems to be roughly the same performance-wise, though it seems like better battery life.
Currently using CM9 Nightly 7-17 with morfic's Trinity GST Alpha23 Kernel

Thats strange, on my setcpu only goes from 384mhz to 1512mhz. How'd you manage to get 1728 O_O
Also I'm not too sure if this is because I downloaded setcpu but for example say I'm on the third page from right/left of the home screen. When I press the homescreen, it doesn't fluently transition to the center screen or is this just me overthinking. I even tried uninstalling setcpu to see if that was the problem but doesn't seem like it helped. Not sure if the transition before was like this but kinda feels weird.
EDIT: If you look at the white dots below the icons, the left/right third screen from the home screen, when the home button is pressed the dot jumps to the middle, I'm sure there was a smooth transition where the dot moved through as the screen flips, but now the page just jumps

ive got best results with interactive scaling i do have a custom kernel that supports interactive.

the answer there is a custom kernel as well it was over clocked to that speed.
ill post my settings here in a few minutes.
