Those look pretty aggressive, I'm going to try them out and see if they work for me. Thanks for the post
I'm using franco's

I wish I could go lower for the 700 but 900mv instantly freeze

I'm not saying that your lying, every device can handle undervolting/over clocking differently for example on my desire HD I could keep it at 2Ghz all the time while most people couldn't go past 1.8

Could someone comment on the real life battery life benefits to undervolting? Since most of the power consumption is the display, I'm wondering how 'worth it' it is. Thanks
Keeping heat down and extending life of phone. The uv helps more in that regard really than giving you more bang for your charge.

The real world batter life gain is very very close to none. I'd say that it isn't worth it, but let the kids play if they want to

Undervolting can lower the life of your device just as much as heat. Excessive anything is bad (except battery life).
I, too, stopped messing around with UV; just always caused weird instabilities or crashes.
Im using the default UV on imo's leankernel with interactiveX
Are the advantages/gains really that minimal? I mean thinking about it logically, it should help shouldn't it?
I was all set to lower mine even more but you guys have me thinking twice now lol...
heat is the most affected thing tho, and a phones life isn't a huge concern for me as i switch phones in July and january

The number one heat sources for these devices are the radios. No amount of undervolting is going to change that.
This is what Ezekeel (GLaDOS kernel dev) typed at rootzwiki:
Regarding Custom Voltage, note that the CPU in the GN uses Smartreflex to automatically determine proper voltages for all CPU frequency states, so a manual UV should not be necessary (check the calibration with 'dmesg | grep sr_'). The voltage values set with Custom Voltage are the nominal voltages which are used as a starting point for the calibration. Forcing the nominal voltages below the calibrated voltages determined automatically by Smartreflex can have adverse effects. So be warned! The main purpose of Custom Voltage is as a companion for Live OC so users can raise the voltages to stabilize higher OC values.

I don't know about ya'll, but my phone only feels the heat when playing games or excessive hspa dl'ing. It is much harder to know you get more juice from uv'ing on a phone. Even laptop users usually say the gain is not worth mentioning.

OK besides that I ran no UV Lionheart and 816/216 auto brightness array that's tuned a little dim for my own build. WiFi timeout 15 minutes. I get an average from gsam of a little over 8 hours though that's optimistic.

It beats the hell out of the a100 for sure. Kicked the a100 out the door, it wasn't good for much besides a door stop after the nexus 7 and the 10" thrive.
You gotta give the a100 props though. It was one of the first 7in tabs not to suck! Evolution took it a step further and the base design of this tab has reoccurred in a few places, RAZR Max, notice the corners, some other grabs have the camera there. This tab was, is and will continue to be awesome. Besides the crap battery and the random bricking which has essentially stopped, as far as I know.

Yes its a decent tab that is still quite usable, but having a nexus 7 makes it useless in thus household now and has been moved to a new home. It had its good and bad points but for me for every flaw the a100 has and even those that devs had to correct because Acer wouldn't, means I will never buy an Acer product again. Google devices for me now as I don't wish to continue being forced to create new ROMs for a device because the manufacturer decided to ditch it.

I wish i had a stock score for comparison,i supposed if i looked..lol
Sent via G2x on temasek b135.2 w/faux kernel v54
I know it goes faster, mine did its just not usable in that level of tuning plus its a huge strain on the hardware to push that far, 1.7 GHz is a 70% push in speed and voltage increases are getting scary at that point. Benchmark increases become smaller in relation to speed increases as well, meaning we're exceeding its safety range. Same for GPU oc, pushing it much father doesn't yield much more for benchmarks either but adds more strain then is really needed. What good is a tablet running over 5k in quadrant if it can't run on battery more then a couple hours?
Tapatalked from my Nexus 7 - Kuroikaze AOSP
Sick nasty benchmarks. I did a benchmark on my old phone, not a quadrant but a geekbench. It scored a 10... in comparison, my a100 scored 1200... the dual core along with the fact its a tegra and coupled with the gig of ram make for all around good experiences on job. Imo

Do you have any data to support the claim that it improves battery life?
I've always thought that spreading the workload over more cores is more efficient eg. 4 cores working at say 700 is better then 2 cores running at 1400.

Not sure why someone buys a powerful quad core phone and then disabled cores and also under clocks it. I mean if battery life is your main concern than why not get a slower phone that has longer battery life?

We want the power there when we need it, but want to be able to save battery when we need that. That's what Android is all about, freedom and control over your phone! =)
I don't believe this will really save battery. One core running higher loads should take longer and increase the screen on time, CPU temp due to higher core usage etc.
I think you will end up with a slower phone with similar or worse battery life.
Do some tests
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
This app has the potential to be interesting but the S4 Pro is already effiecient enough, in fact it turns off cores itself when it needs to.
The Optimus G has the ability to manually turn off cores but that feature is unavailable in the Nexus 4, stock Android

The thing is that, although this phone is underclocked and has its cores disabled, it still works great
There's an App called Trickster Mod which shows you, that Kernels are disabled by default when not needed. In Standby it shows that on my Nexus 4 only one Kernel is working with 384 MHz. I think the Core Disabler App is useless....
What a useless app. Kernels such as Franco has hotplugging in the kernel already which disables and enables your core based on the amount of cpu usage.
If you're looking to maximize battery life, this app isn't the solution. And definitely not worth the 1 euro. Advertising a app on xda is illegal too

It is 2100 mAh which should be good enough. It is the software and the wake locks, and project butters unneeded speed when touching the screen that causes the battery to be lower.

Probably because you don't always need every core. 2 cores will provide the same experience even if you underclock. Having two active cores should give similar or better performance than the S4(dual), so it makes sense to disable the others. I will trust android with quads when core management improves, which should arrive with Key lime pie hopefully.

It would be cool if we could program the other cores for specific tasks. So the main two will handle the main task, the third can handle background task, and the fourth can do media things. Though I doubt we'll ever see the cores implemented like that.

Well the more tweaks and overclocking and the more and more crap I have running on my phone lol is why I was way over 4000. It says what's your secret... I wouldn't even know where to begin. Start with Perseus kernel though. But seriously would even getting 6 or 7000 Really be a good thing anyway? I mean running every tweak and tweak app and overclock isn't really healthy for your device overall imo.

What a benchmark does is measure how well your particular device does in that particular benchmark... It tells you nothing about real world life of opening or closing apps or about interface lag. Battery life is something real, a bench like this tells you nothing apart from how well your device does on it.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't care about battery life because I bought 3 extra batteries and a wall charger so it's not an issue for me and performance is what I want. Yeah maybe benches don't say much but I'm into speed so I like to just have something to compare it too.

We have the biggest phone, why not want the biggest e-peen?

Yes but why is stock nexus 4 so much faster than stock note 2?

using root explorer or alike go to d/acpuclk/pvs_bin. Use text reader to open it and you should see a number. The higher the number the better quality your chip is suppose to be. I think highest is 0 or 6. 0-6

Mine was a zero! But like the man said it's either zero or 6 that's the highest. I run my cpu at 3.0 ghz. So... maybe 0 is good?

mine was a 3...
i love being average :\
Ok found out the skinny.
0 requires the least power but is sensitive to overclock.
6 is resilient to overclock and consumes more power because of leakage.
You can read the articles by go ogling *snapdragon cpu bin*
So I guess my chip is a power saver. But I'm able to oc like crazy...so I don't know how significant this really is. My note 3 has been running at 2.8 ghz for DAYS without a problem.
So basically binning has to do with the chips leaking power with 6 being the #leakiest#

Have you tried benchmarking clocked to 2.8 and 3.0? I bet it reboots if you try it. I have a 3.
No reboots buddy

That's a pretty low score for being clocked to 2.8, mine scores that clocked to 2.419 on saber. That's good it doesn't reboot anyways.
I don't really care about scores I have 400 apps man lol I think that might have a small impact on my score haha. Yes it does work no problem on 2.8 with a zero bin cpu. I use imoseyon kernel for daily driver. I've also been able to boot the 3 gigahertz kernel too for about 5 minutes before it crashes out.
But what the articles from qualcomm were saying that binning has more to do with power leakage than anything else, e.g. excessive heat, battery drain, etc. So the lower the number the more "efficient" the chip is but less stable and the higher less stable less efficient and more stable for overclock. Think like a boat. One has holes in it with 2 300hp Honda engines the other boat has few holes and 2 300hp off brand less powerful bootleg engines.
They still go just about as fast but one is a little slower. However on the other boat you're scooping water sometimes lol.

I'm showing a 4. I wonder how much a difference this actually has in the phones, it seems pretty minimal to none.

Bin of 2 here. I'm all about the power saving though lol. I run 2.5ghz every now and then which is pretty stable haven't benchmarked with it though.

Also have 2 here.

Wow 400 apps, I bet you use 375 of those apps once a year maybe....lol :good:

The binning seems pretty random. I wonder if it's even important at all. ..

Ima a bin 3 and can over clock to 3ghz and underclock 75 on mpu so im good where i am

2, running stock speeds and voltages (whatever compulsion standard kernel sets it at).
