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?

I get an average of about 11 hours on a single charge. Mainly because I'm a Facebook addict
Right now, I'm using the ERA ReVolted Rom v.6 Reduced Fat version.

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 have titanium backup pro and I froze the sns, system updates, drm content, and even the google maps app and I only defrost that app when I use it.
I have set cpu set on 200-1120 mhz. And I have juice defender and its set to "extreme". I don't keep any date connection on when I'm not using it. I'm not sure what else there is to do but I'm sure I've done some more things...

Don't they cost like $70???
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.

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...?

Hi i found an app called auto killer memory which ive been running for a while. this app has worked wonders for my wilderbeast, its on fire. so ive been tampering alot with things but this seems to have stabalised my phone loads. presets i set to lost, enabled advance mode,apply at boot,ticked all system tweaks and of course when promted enabled super user. my phone is now running sweet and battery has improved too. i dont know if this makes any sense but i have noticed a difference. whoop whoop. am i over optimistic that this works the same as the v6 super charger/juwes ram optimiser ???
Ok I've ammended my settings within this app after doing some research And in memory values I'm now running at 6/10/16/100/120/160 to keep my phone running snappppppy. To explain the values in brief...... if free memory goes below 160mb my phone starts to kill empty apps etc etc as free memory goes below next value the phone starts to kill corresponding apps. Kind of makes sense to me now. Ok I know my settings makes the phone kill more frequently but its damn snappy now,and it can lower the oom settings by long pressing the app in processes section you wish to lower and choosing lower oom. Lowering the oom basically gives the app less chance of being killed.
Personally I haven't had a low memory situation since I rooted and installed cm7, the app your talking about I have installed after reading one of your other posts about it, I presume that it would work the same way as juwes after setting the low memory values, I don't use those settings with it though as I have juwes script installed, the other tweaks seem fine but again I think I had some of them covered from editing my build.prop (still have work to do on that though) and a few other little things, I can't knock this app though as it does seem to have made my battery last a bit longer since installing yesterday, I'd personally rather change the settings myself than have yet another app doing it for me but until I figure which setting seems to be helping my battery out I'll keep it installed.
A couple of other apps which might help you keep it smooth,
Autostarts- I swear by this app its one of my best buys from the market, why use a task killer when you can just stop the app starting in the first place??
Fast reboot pro- after time apps hold memory which they don't really need, hit this and it'll quickly reboot everything (unless you tell it to leave something alone) freeing up spare ram.

The only problems I see with having higher settings are if it closes something you use regular it'll be slower to open that app, I'd rather keep them set low and have apps open quickly.

I agree but this app lets you temporary lower the oom level for apps,so I just lower oom on most important. Long click on process or service and to lower.

Yep,long click app in service or process then choose to lower oom.it resets if you reboot so get your settings desired then leave by pressing home button.

Change the view from pages to mb and these are the values when it will start killing processes etc. Ie. When your memory gets to the amount your phone starts freeing up starting with the highest setting (empty apps)
Its all explained above,just that you have the pages view instead of mbs.
Quote " its healthy to have enemies, it means you've stood up for something you believe in "
ahh the pagesettings are the same as the MB ones?
i thought its two different things
thanks for the explanation!
btw. do you still use the same settings?
Yes to this day I still use this app even though I'm now s-off with the settings I posted,I will just double check and ammend if needed on 1st post.

I used to use that too and I felt some differance too but I think you have to open the program every boot. But some told me that it isn't just powerful as Supercharger so I deleted the optimiser and tried Supercharged and got a bootloop instead. I didn't get it to work but I believe that Supercharger is a better solution.

i tried supercharger and juuwes but had issues which i think were specific to me but one of the issues was bootlooping from supercharger as well as other things. im not saying one is better than the other but as you and myself had issues with one of the mods then its an alternative for others to use. i prefer this as you get to control the settings and mods yourself from the app. also this is available for s-on whilst the others i believe need s-off.

I got a boot loop from supercharger. I had to wipe my phone and start again from an RUU as all my previous backups became corrupted. Nightmare. TBH in the few days that it did work, i saw/felt no difference.
Using CM_7.1.0.1 probably wouldnt advise to use the supercharge, CM_7 minfree values are set to a pretty good level to keep things in order i think

I have tried supercharge script and does make phone smooth. Also Ive use ram manager new app and that too made phone smooth. But this app (Pro) is so far great. I tried out your settings for now to see if it suits me and had the app for an hour and the phone is very snappy and smooth (which is most important to me). I hope there is a slight battery improvement that many have said on the net but will test more and will leave feed back. A big thx m8!
no probs mate, like i said i have tried the lot and this one for me is really good and you get to be the controller lol.the only drawback i have noticed is that it takes a little longer for the phone to boot after a reboot but !!!!! im ok with that.
LMFAO looks like I didn't pay enough attention... I've used a lot of tweaks already to make my Willy faster, more snappy and stable but to be honest nothing gave it such a boost like that
BTW: are you still using the settings of the op?
Holy crap, I've read that really often here and elsewhere but it's the first it applies to myself: feels like a new phone

I see. I just have to sort things out now. Regarding the SD card read - I have it already done by sdbooster (@2048) - I'm at a point where I should make a documentation to stay on track and to avoid double tweaks lol.
I'm also very interested into scratch's build.prop lol (guess that would help to drop even more tweaks). Thx again - I've not forgotten about your tip re. AMO - just shifted it too far lol.

lol 1400/200!?!? theres ur 1st problem. use voltage control instead of setcpu and stick with 1000/100 or 1100/100. i always found cfq and conservative to be nice for battery, but apparently noop/ondemand is best. maybe try both. also turn data off when not using it most importantly. also try using the auto-start manager in the ROM Toolbox app (free in market) to disable most of ur apps from staying open or updating widgets constantly in the background. freeze system apps you don't use. forget the v6 supercharger, and i'd say stick with the stock kernel. hope that helps..
Do you expect to get good gas mileage running your car at 100 MPH on side streets? Do not OC if you want good battery life.

Thanks for schooling me...lol....I'm implementing your suggestions now....What do you mean turn data off when I'm not using it? Will I still get emails, text, etc?
I'm A O K with AOKP
If you turn of 3g data, you can still send/get phone calls and texts but no email
Also, undervolt you frequencies with voltage control, I don't think you have to go to stock kernel, but do as you please I would imagine the dark blacks from voodoo control would save battery. But anyways, Marcusant had a great guide for setting up any kernel for your phone, ill try to find it..

For that reason, i wouldn't bother doing it..but it's up to you. as for voodoo color you might be right about the blacker blacks..i just noticed on cm9 that the stock kernel saved more battery for me so figured it might apply on aokp too cuz its so similar

I haven't figured out what is so different but I get much better battery life on AOKP than CM9. My imagination or is something really different on the roms? I don't use the power saver feature because I need my data all the time.
Im running Stock Build 31 on EL30 modem and no custom kernel nor am I oc/uv. I have very few apps and I have no widgets running and im getting horrible battery drain. I purchased the 1800 battery which is a few months old and I just dont know what to do. While my phone is sleeping, the battery drain hardly even moves, but when I start doing simple things like texting or checking emails I start getting drops of 2% percent or more every 5 mins of use.

Moving to Q&A
My N2 makes me crazy when it gets warm.
When it reaches about 36 celsius degrees it starts with frequency limit of 800MHz.
The second step is making 2 cores offline and at last my gadget becomes limited to 2 cores at a max. of 500MHz.
It becomes almost unusable for me when in car. I use two navis in multiwindow (Waze and Sygic) and AutoGuard recording in background with FullHD and in about 5 minutes it's restricted hardly.
I know it's for safety reasons but I think it's too strict.
Is there a possibility to raise the thresholds of these by a few degrees?
What kernels support this?
There is a nice app called Android Tuner which is able to set these tresholds but it is for Qualcomm CPU-s only...
Thanks for any answers in advance!

Not exactly understand...
There must be a safe setting for it as with Perseus kernel the thresholds are higher, but not too much. I forgot to edit my question according my experiences with Perseus.
At least with Perseus I get a max of 1000MHz at most cases but it is not enough for me cause I use apps needing high resources.
Would You be so kind to write about the value to be changed in order to get higher thresholds?
If I understand you correctly. Then you could try trickster mod.
Or try saber kernel. I use this baked into the Jedi rom.

Thank You for the advice!
Now I had some time so I'm on Saber kernel and just testing.
The testing is awesome till now: the phone is working more powerful with this kernel and doesn't get hot so soon. :good:
Oh, now there is something strange, the programs get FC-s...
The phone is on charger, I ran AutoGuard in the background in FullHD, Sygic and Waze in MultiWindow, VideoPlayer in popup with a FullHD video and SuperPlayer in popup with another FullHD video. It was extremely fine but after a few minutes the players collapsed and AutoGuard had an error. The system is stable anyway. It seems I have to restart phone now...
Edit: After restart I got an old problem back: Dropbox is unable to run again... I loved Perseus because of this, on Perseus this problem was away... I hope that I won't get the other issue back with my WiFi... And it seems, AutoGuard became stupid too... :crying:
I don't give up and keep on trying to make them ok.
But I can't find the thermal control feature in Trickster Mod Donation altough I have just a minute for it.
I am reading Trickster webpage to get ahead...
Question: Are You using Jedi ROM and have no thermal problems?
In that case I'm going to try that ROM, cause I'm on hunting for a ROM that works with no problems for me.
I tried some lately and till now Omega v18 was the best amongst them. I tried MIUI, ProBam, Hawkish in the last days and I get problems with all of them or had non-working applications and/or features which ones are essentials for me...
Edit: mmmmmmmm, as see there is no Jedi ROM for international N7100...
hey bro,
wow you seem to be a bit more advanced than me so maybe ive reached the limit of the advice i can give you.
However, if you inform me how to check for thermal problems i will surely do that and then report back.
the saber kernel to the best of my knowledge is underclocked so if you try to o/c it maybe that will prevent your fc's. I have read in the various threads, of which the community is very helpful, of some issues for heavy users due to the u/c.
Regarding the jedi rom i am a uk 7105 user and to the best of my knowledge i thought it would also work for international 7100 users?!?!
Here is the thread i use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987634
reading the op of that thread it would appear you are correct. I do know they are working on version 18 so maybe that will work for you. fingers crossed.

However, if you inform me how to check for thermal problems i will surely do that and then report back.
the saber kernel to the best of my knowledge is underclocked so if you try to o/c it maybe that will prevent your fc's. I have read in the various threads, of which the community is very helpful, of some issues for heavy users due to the u/c.
Regarding the jedi rom i am a uk 7105 user and to the best of my knowledge i thought it would also work for international 7100 users?!?!
Here is the thread i use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987634
reading the op of that thread it would appear you are correct. I do know they are working on version 18 so maybe that will work for you. fingers crossed.

Thank You for Your effort!
I'll keep on investigating for a solution.
Unfortunately the real test was horrible with Saber kernel, when I tested it in car the temperature got high soon and the thersholds were low again.
But it's a good idea to try o/c thank You very much!
I'll try it tomorrow, now I have to go to play Cod4... :laugh:
And I found that TWRP is recommended for Saber and a few minutes untouching after the restart so I'll try again.
Have a nice day!
you too bro, sorry i couldnt help more.
but if you post in the saber kernel thread there are some helpful and intelligent folks in there that may have a better solution for you.
enjoy cod

Thank You again!
I got some experiences with the newest Saber kernel and I like it 'cause the first kernel I can use 100MHz step with and using 300MHz step too.
It seemes to be good at battery consumption too. My only problem that this kernel doesn't support STweaks so I can't regulate charging voltages like I used to. Perhaps only Perseus kernel makes it possible as I can't get any other programs for it till now. Or NEAK kernel and the new versions of AGNi pureSTOCK kernel as I read their pages. I'll try them some day. But Perseus is my favourite.
I think it's important to say that the kernel isn't UC/OC by default so this doesn't make any problems and it's not UV-ed too.
I set min. to 100MHz and max. to 1920MHz to test and it's stable till now. I tried to Overvolt slightly and had no change on media programs behavior they don't like each other as I see.
Trickster Mod is nice 'cause it shows the CPU temperature which was helpful to understand this regulations of thermal control are needed.
When I tested it turned out that CPU is below 70 degrees while the battery temparuture is 'only' about 40 degrees.
So thanks for Your kind advises!
wow. Ok i think i understood most of your post. probably a little bit over my head but i need to learn.
I really like the new kernel im getting 1% battery drain an hour with the screen off which truly is unheard of for me,
The kernel runs real smooth apart from when i play asphalt 8. Or i should say it runs smooth playing the game until the phone tries to do something else. For example if it attempts to update a programme or if a message/email comes through. then the game just lags and i have to wait for the phone to stop multi tasking before the car starts to move normally again.
So im surprised to read you say the kernel isn't uc/uv by default??? I was pretty positive it was. But i dont know for sure and im probably not clever enough to figure it out lol.
I wonder what settings i would need to increase to aid the phone in its multi tasking? Also there must be some kind of programme we could use that would test our specific phone/cpu and tell us which settings it would prefer. As i believe each phone will run slightly different?
You are right i remember reading the kernel does not work with stweaks.
I wish i could work with you and figure out how to optimise our settings but i simply dont have the skill set.
I presume you used trickster to overvolt slightly?

No, I didn't overvolt at last. But once I tried and didn't helped on my problems.
Unfortunately now I'm back on Perseus kernel again 'cause some issues with Saber. It became crazy every time and locked my CPU on 160MHz only and only reboot helped.
The other issue was the stuck system server process what was active all night and didn't stop hard work.
Now I'm on reading the kernel's page till I get cleverer on it... then I perhaps try it again 'cause I liked it.

Battery is one of the things that's critical for your mobile's day to day use.
I have done my research on the things that has impact on mobile phone's battery life and I am going to jot down the stuff that can clearly save your battery.
1. Changing your scheduler.
By default Android devices comes with CFQ(COMPLETELY FAIR SCHEDULER) which is the worst, So please change it to SIO(SIMPLE I/O) scheduler, This scheduler has been voted as most stable and better for battery. It even solves the heating up issues.
NOTE: DON'T NEED TO OVERCLOCK OR UNDERCLOCK your device if your planning to use your device on a long term basis, Changing the scheduler will do fine
2: Install wake-lock detector
The wake-lock detector requires root, It gives you the idea of what rogue apps makes your device stay awake, Staying awake drains a lot of battery, Best thing to do is to uninstall the rogue apps.
3: Do not install Battery saving apps
Let it be any application, They claim they save your battery by monitoring the unnecessary background apps and closing them. They don't let the device to sleep, Let it be juice defender or you name it. Do not do that.
4: Install push notification fixer
Complaints about push notifications are solved by this APP, It resets your ping time, So that you don't spend unnecessary juice trying to connect to the server.
5: Disable google now
There are better apps which can tell you weather reports, If you feel like you are depending upon google now, Just disable "LOCATION HISTORY" and "LOCATION REPORTING".
6: Wiping cache and Dalvik cache
If you have restored apps using a back-up tool such as Titanium backup please make sure you wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache once you are done restoring, It just optimizes your apps.
7: FACEBOOK MESSENGER AND VIBER wakelocks
As useful as they are they cause so many wakelocks, Use default facebook app for messaging and VIBER app can be greenifed using GREENIFY. Whenever you need it you can use them, Once u open the app u can get the missed call info as well, So if your real hungry for battery do this.
8: USING GREENIFY
Frustrated about apps causing wakelocks, Install GREENIFY and forget it. The app will be available whenever u need them , But it won't run on the background thus saving battery.
9: Do not manually close APPS
Android has got it's own task manager which does a pretty good job, Each time you close and open an app each requires more juice, So let android handle with the task and stay relaxed
10: Turn your sync off
With push notifications on, You will get your twitter updates and hotmail without sync, The only app that requires sync is GMAIL, which you can do it manually
I am posting my screenshot as proof.
Thank's Bro
Good Work dude!!!!
keep it up :fingers-crossed:

I dont seem to have such options on 4.1.2 official JB, is this for a specific rom?

Hi all,
I don't know if it is a good thing or idea i'm doing everything but so far it is working for me and I would like to get your opinion about that method for using less battery, the fact is that I always use my phone on 2G and wifi and GPS is on only when using them but for the apps I always force stop them and they remain stopped unless I open the app once again and I found I gain on my battery usage with my battery lasting for 2 to 3 days depending on the usage (many sms, sometime facebook, viber and whatsapp, messenger) but I force stop when I finish.
Do you think it is a good idea to do like that??
Don't change the kernel.

Kernel is like the heart of the ROM bro, DEVS have taken good time finding out which is best suited for stability and battery life.
I am using SENTINEL ROM and i have the sentinel kernel that comes along with it, I don't want to experiment with it, Coz it just works fine.
The kernel that comes along with your ROM should work fine, In case you want to experiment with other kernels you can do so, But you will have to find the one that best suits your ROM :good:

Everytime you manually close your app, It will take more battery to load up the next time. The default android will watch your usage and kills it accordingly. It is best to leave it to android. Cause everytime you launch a app freshly there is some extra drain. So best to leave it to android.
I used manually clear the apps as well, But now I never do that, Guess what i get better battery :good:
Thanks A Lot
Hi
Thanks a lot for the useful post, i have increased my battery life by almost 70 percent.
My battery never used to last for more than 9 to 10 hours & now it last for almost 20hours, attached my screenshot.
