The one that shuts your phone completely off...LOL.
All kidding aside, the only thing I have seen actually provide better battery life with these is to lower the max speed. Even the author of SetCPU says you can have performance or better battery life, not both. I believe SetCPU provides more options for profiles whereas Voltage control lets you play with voltages which of course is very dangerous for stability. There are so many options in both that it will be hard to get a definitive answer and since every phone is different, Your Mileage May Vary.

With voltage control (and now setcpu), you can undervolt and overclock which could theoretically give you performance and speed. I'm a setcpu supporter, btw.

I like SetCPU myself , but mainly because my phone doesn't do well with undervolting
Did setcpu in the past dropped for tegrak.....way better!

I'm undervolting with tegrak right now because I can't with setcpu. Definitely worth the money
It also depends what you are running. Voltage Control won't work with Gingerbread leaks and Tegrak with SetCPU is working nicely to prevent the random reboots in the leaks.

Hello i been wanting to see what kind of settings people have on their voltage control that give them great battery life. I currently have -75 on everything from 1ghz all the way down and -50 at 200mhz. I'm getting pretty good life on that. Anything better?

Is it worth rooting my phone and overclocking it?
Is overclocking it really noticable in performance to say approx 1.5GHz? And is it going to kill battery? Thanks

Yes and Yes to both of your questions. There is a noticeable diffrence in performance when overclocking. But it will obviously use more battery
cant say ive noticed 1.5ghz killing my battery.. might be used a bit faster.. but u can easily offset this by lowering your clockspeed and voltage for your sleep state in addition to minimising the required voltage that 1.5ghz requires, id say my battery life is probably better overall, and i run 1.5ghz 24/7.
of course your mileage may vary depending on usage and various settings.
How hard is it to overclock it? My phone is rooted but I have no experience with overclocking.
I'm guessing it wouldn't be a wise idea?
Yeah this seems a little over my head.. thinking of buying another Xperia Play just to mod the crap out of.
Dont really wanna mess with the overlocking now I think about it incase I fry the chips and kill the phone.
At 1.4 and 1.5ghz its quite safe.
To chill out the battery put some screen off underclocking like at Real low with but not the least
1. 4 ghz scaling interactiveX I get 252/282 MS, thats pretty fast with nitro lag Nullifier too

Well with 1.5Ghz then, you'll be amazed!

just a little information/ competition to see which SGS2 is the best , i want to see how low of a voltage you can go. I am using Stability test to test out the voltage, 3 round of classic test at 1.73ghz at 1125mV, and it stable, a little scare to go down more but here some info on my SGS2
running
beastmod 4.2
kernel 2.3.6
Was running originally at 1175 but i undervolt to 1125 and running stable at a stable temp of 41-42..
what's yours
be careful with such drastic undervolting at those frequencies, could result in corrupt nand.

This isn't undrevolting..... this is underclocking.
Undervolting is pretty dangerous with trial and error. The lowest I'll go is -75.

no underclocking meaning i would use less ghz than the stock, this is minimizing the voltage on the core.
what your doing is underclock, i put mine fixed on 1.73ghz at 1125mV of voltage

I have never heard of such thing, i'm not doubting you but from over the years, i heard undervolting have positive affect on the CPU by lowering temp and give battery more juice.

As far as I know, there are no dangers associated with undervolting. I run at those frequencies too at -112.5 and have never had a problem of any sort.
I run about 1ghz. No under volt with this ics kernel but with my old gb kernel I undervilted with faux -100 at 1ghz...ran cool even with games and video, great battery life. And honestly 1ghz is plenty for snappy fast speed

I don't know if you're familiar with overclocking, but the same type of stability issues can occur. When you're undervolting you can think of your stock speed as an "overclock" and you're just trying to minimize the voltage necessary for stability. If you undervolt too much you can experience freezing, corruption, bad lag, etc. It's all the same process for desktop computers, laptops, and anything else you can play with the voltage.
Personally I'm at -62.5, but after seeing how low people are going I might be a bit more adventurous. Don't use the "Set at Boot" option when you're experimenting.

I did it gradually...and the fact that I was at 1ghz might have also made it possible. Started at -50 since most had said it was safe...then tried 60 then 75 then 90 then maxed at 100...worked beautifully.
I have heard and it is true that phones are made very different. Some exact same models can't oc or UV as high or low as others...I got lucky with a really good model...my old nexus S couldn't oc to 1.4 without freezing while others could.

Right, I meant that there are no risks to undervolting in terms of physical damage to your phone, only stability issues which is fixed with a reboot, assuming you didn't set at boot. Overclocking is a bit different in that the risk overclocking presents in addition to stability issues is the risk of overheating which can permanently damage your phone. Undervolting can compensate for this somewhat by letting the power supplied to the processor and thus reducing the risk of overheat.

I use system tuner, you can also look for Gideons script that is flashable in cwm to undervolt.

yup that's what I used lol.
Does anybody know if having the normal settings are better or under clocking (say 1Ghz) for battery for this particular phone?
I also know that a higher speed can perform the calculations faster and thus save power. But, I'm just curious if there is a sweet spot.

Have you tried under volting, by using a custom kernel. Word of warning not all CPU built equal.

I'm using Faux's kernel which had reduced voltage setting already.
I'm just curious.

The best way to really tell woukd be to step the max freq. down by one or two and run it for a day or two. If it runs stable and you don't notice any issues you'll prob be good to go. My guess would be running between 1.2-1.3ghz would be a good spot.
I'm honestly not sure you'd see much difference in battery though since its probably running much slower than that most of the time its not sleeping anyway.
Plus I think I remember seeing somewhere that the power used to run at 1.5 is the same it uses to run at 1.3.
If your going to see improvement in battery its more likely you'll get that from voltage adjustments and your governor choice. You'd probably be best served by reading through the kernel thread to see what others have tried and reported.

Hi All,
There are modifications for the thermald.conf, which controls your CPU and GPU after a certain temperature.
I've modified the file to fit different profiles that'll work for people. So without further ado, here are the profiles.
Remember to backup before flashing, and not responsible for bricks and blah an blah, but if you do happen to
here's the guide on soft-bricking Guide
Stock
This is the stock file with no change.
Stock Therma
Optimized Stock
This is a slightly optimized stock that deals with the overheating and throttles the CPU and GPU properly.
Optimized Stock
Gaming
This prioritizes the GPU for gaming over any other feature
Gaming Therma
Gaming (Plus Battery Saver)
This prioritizes gaming; however, also throttles your CPU to help save battery.
Gaming Therma + Battery Saver
Better CPU
This is probably the best battery saver; however, it drastically throttles the GPU.
Better CPU
Full Power
Ignores any throttling rules, but battery drain will happen. And phone will overheat quicker. However, you'll experience the fastest speeds.
Full Power
Best Battery and Overheating
This sacrifices performance to optimize battery and subdue the heating issues.
Best Battery
Sweet, thank you

How does this differ from Eco-Mode in terms of cpu throttling? Or is this strictly throttling for the GPU, and has nothing to do with the CPU?

Eco-mode utilizes two cores rather than all four.
This mod is based on temperature, and throttles according to the devices temperature. Currently, throttling already happens when the phone reaches a certain temp; however, this mod alters the throttling to either enforce stricter rules, or ignore the throttling completely.

Yes, this can deal with that; however, I still enforced the rule to lower brightness if the phone reaches a certain temperature.
Despite the fact the phone doesn't feel hot, the temperature my very well be on the rise.
I would recommend that you use the optimized stock. This version would scale the phone better, and never really overheat this never causing the brightness to go down.
