Bench mark halved from what it was - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Noticed the phone being slower so did a QS bench mark and it was only a bit better than standard. Set CPU is set on performance and 9+ mhz got 50mb free int mem.

What Rom/kernel are you on? Voltage Control might be the better option.

On leaky gingerbread eeo3, don't know what kernel but kernel version is 2.6.35.7, firmware is 2.3.3...
The lower the maximum speed you can tolerate will give you the max battery life. A lot of people keep 800 Mhz as max for that reason.
If you want a good mix between battery and performance, I recommend keeping your maximum clock at 1000Mhz (default) and lowering your minimum clock to 100Mhz (default should be 200Mhz) if your phone will allow it.

Yeah, just make sure you have journaling on if you are going to try 100 Mhz. A lot of phones get the sleep of death from that. Mine is one of those. Then you will have to pull the battery and adjust your settings to 200 Mhz minimum on SetCPU.
Or....You could not use 100mhz at all!
It uses the same voltage as 200mhz. And by increasing the amount frequencies scaled makes the phone slower.
800mhz max, 200mhz min. 800mhz is volted -75 over 1ghz. Which should increase battery life.
Awsome stuff guys. Thanks for all the great info and to all that reply... Thanks again

I'd quote him but I'm on my phone. Rodderik has stated that all the frequencies use the same internal voltage except for 100mhz, which uses a slightly less internal voltage. What we're adjusting and seeing read in voltage control is the arm voltage, or the processor voltage at each frequencies. I'm not sure the exact difference, but there is a slight drop in voltage at 100mhz compared to the other frequencies? A battery saving difference? Who knows

Just insalled new syndicate frozen rom. Set cpu not compatible? Installed set cpu and every time screen goes to sleep, I can't get it to wake up unless I pull out battery. Anybody else having this problem on this rom?

[Q] Setting clock speed to 800 -1200 mhz?

I know unrooted desire z devices always work at 800mhz. My device is set to 245mhz min and 1400mhz max (interactive or smartass governor). It sometimes causes my device to wake up a bit late. I wonder how long time my battery goes if I set my device at min 800 mhz and max 1200 or 1400 mhz... Did anyone try this clock speeds?

That's way too low of a min speed, just bump it up to the next (I think it's 386) and you should see noticable improvement.
I'd also suggest the ondemand gov; since it only ramps up to the top speed when needed, then drops it back down again, you should get a bit better battery life.

i read ondemand and conservative governors are od, so using interactive or smartass are better then using others. I will try min 368 mhz but am not sure if it works...
What are you trying to accomplish by messing with the clock speed? Leave it alone at default. Performance difference is NEGLIGIBLE (bottleneck is elsewhere), and all you'll accomplish is eating the battery and burning it up with excessive heat caused by excessive clock.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your comments.
People don't do anything to access root if they don't want to mess device. I am one of them and want to have a device which both has performance and visuality. You offered me to not to change clock speeds. But we know HTC Desire Z is scheduled to work at 800mhz everytime (default). My opinion is just to set minimum clock speed to 800 mhz or something like this. If my device was burn by this clock speed, it was already dead.
Today i tried this clock speed (min 614, max 1382) and during the day it didn't heat up. Moreover, 8 hours passed, i played NFS for about 1,5 hour, made some call and 30 percent of battery left. It seems this clockspeeds doesn't cause battery drain or i couldn't feel it...
EDIT: 13 hours passes, 16 percent battery left (I made minimum 30 minutes of call)

Quick under volting question

I am familiar with undervolting, went -75 across the board with no problems, obviously the lowest frequencies are all at 800. Would it be beneficial to set the minimum CPU frequency to the highest frequency at 800mv? Seeing as there is no voltage difference between 192mhz and 594mhz wouldn't it make sense and even save battery to set minimum to 594 so it can idle faster basically and use less time to do calcs at minimum frequency?

Theoretically yes, but undervolting that low at high clock speeds will greatly increase your chances of freezing.

[APP] Keep your Phone cool with CPU-Tuner

At the moment i'm on cm10 Alpha 4 with Stock kernel. My phone was often very hot (>55°C) even if i wasnt playing games. I found CPU-Tuner on the Store and now my phone is on Deep Sleep down to 26,5°C cool and while playing "Dead Trigger" over 25min only 46,3°C.
I made some CPU-Settings and Underclocked the QuadCore a little bit. With 51mhz min and 1300mhz max settings on my "Full Battery" Profile, "Dead Trigger" is running without any lag. App Pushed to "system/app" () I also got better Battery Stats trough that App!

New Battery Stats with PIC with 7h 9m 52s
I used the Setup from the old Pics (thats why its not in the Update Post!)
Explanation:
Screen Brigthness all day long 50%
Screen-on-time: 2h 34m 5s
Dead Trigger: CPU: 40m 24s
CPU Foreground: 40m 15s
Mediaserver: CPU: 23m 13s
Active: 1h 42m 44s
Deep Sleep: 4h 27min 13s
Apollo (Music): Active 32m 17s
Tomorrow i'll post a pic for my new setup in updates post...
updates
My new setup is a little more drastic but i want to see what abilitys the App offers:
Leistung:
On @ <=100% Battery
interactive
51mhz to 1000MHz
4 Cores
Normal:
On @ <=50% Battery
interactive
51mhz to 1000MHz
2 Cores
Screen OFF:
On @ Screen OFF
interactive
51mhz to 880MHz
2 Cores
Battery Saving:
On @ <=15% Battery
interactive
51MHz to 640MHz
2 Cores
ANY TIPS ???
Omg the Celsius is from the battery,not from CPU.... Can you read ?

I've never said that its the temp of the CPU and does that really matter? The Battery is also very hot while gaming and gets cooler with my setup. Do you know a good APP for monitoring CPU temperature ?

Dead Trigger doesn't lag when two cores are active.
EDIT: I play all games with two cores, only for battery saving. But now, I set CPU tuner profile to battery saver (740 mhz) and it work smoothly on two cores.

Wow i never thought that this would work. Did you try that with GTA3 and other games ? Is there any lag in Multitasking operations ? ROM?

Works great on FIFA!
buy quadcore phone installs app to use only two . sad
@ONE! Where's the Widget Extension? I click on install and then accept and nothing else happens and they aren't in your play store, could please upload and provide them to me. Thanks

[Q] Underclocking Query

How much can the phone be underclocked while maintaining the stability of the system?
What would happen if i set Max freq to 600 Mhz?
What is the best thing to do to save up the very last bit of juice in the battery for emergency situations where i would only need the phone and message facility? Besides switching off Bt,wifi,sync.
Im asking because i was wondering if underclocking "too much" saves a substantial amount of battery when my battery is quite low and I am "hours away" from a charging port!
And is there a way to change the carrier name on the notification drop down to whatever we want.
Sorry if i sound noobish or if a similar query has been asked before
Thnx.
Underclocking the CPU dramatically isn't going to gain you a great deal in the way of extra battery life because:
1. Unless you are heavily taxing the CPU (complex 3d games etc), the biggest drains on the battery are the screen and the radio.
2. If the screen is off, the phone will drop the CPU frequency right down anyway.
The best way to get extended battery life is simply to carry spare batteries!

Dave

I think 600mhz is way too low and counter productive or for that matter anything less than 1ghz. The phone will lag alot and you'll have freezes. You'll probably end up using up alot of the battery life trying to get tasks completed. You could try leaving the stock clockspeed 1.6ghz, set minimum cores to 2 and slightly undervolt to -25mv, leave the gpu setup to its default 533mhz and also undervolt to -25mv using a kernel that supports stweak app. Then run an app called Stability Test for 10minutes to check for errors.
Also I tried Go Power Master, which can be assigned to disable certain features once your battery hits critical low levels.
