Does increasing your CPU( after root) make your battery life decrease ? Because I've noticed that from when I rooted my phone and installed setcpu the battery was draining faster.....Any advice ?

u could have asked your question there also and someone wld have helped
dont create unwanted threads the useful ones are going down
and yes overclocking reduces battery life depending on your overclock frequency and usage

Hey XDA community I have been having problems with battery life on my Desire ever since I put the Starburst rom on it. I searched a solution to this on google and came across "kernels". I know how to install them but well I dont know which ones are considered good or bad and such. Could anyone make a suggestion to me?
I am running version 1.3.3.5 of Starburst
My kernel according to the software info screen on my desire is as follows:
2.6.32.15 - froyo _ bravo _ V 5 root @ alhena #9
Unless the entire StareBurst rom thread is filled with battery life problems it's not kernel related. Probably a bad app/setting or you imagening battery issues.

I dont think I am imagining it, you see on the Default software my phone was capable of a day to a day and a half.
Now on starburst its laggier and the battery just runs down. In 15 minutes of standby the battery ran down 2% just doing nothing. (I have a class 4 8gb Kingston SD)
Now, im not saying it is nothing I did but still a helpful comment or suggestion would be appreictaed as opposed to an acusation of imagining things.
I answered your question and gave two other options. From there searching will help you. It's not the first question about battery issues.

Sorry, I didn't think that reply through as I was rushed. I will try searching some more and checking my apps for battery drain issues.

Can anywone tell me a best rom for save battery ?
Now i have Oxygen 2.3.1 Bravo
I would think the Oxygen you're using would be one of the better one's for battery life. Don't go for Sense rom's as they'll drain your battery real quick.
Well anything oxygen based, or the gingervillan roms
Took me a week to finally get it right, but I've managed to get both speed, stability n a Schweeet batterylife
If I get the time this weekend, ill post how I did it, and all the steps from stock, out of the box, to end product

I find that the insert coin rom isn't too bad on battery life. Well version 1.1.1 isn't. not sure on the newer versions though
Most AOSP ROMS have great battery life. But much of the battery life is to do with the kernel too, so picking a good kernel is paramount.
I'd agree on the kernel bit, but also, how you have android configured in general around it can have a noticeable effect.
The right rom, kernel, and also userspace setup/configuration all adds up

Also black background for AMOLED screens is worth adding to the list.
Im curious guys on this battery subject?
I'm currently using aurora V3 but even before that I'm lucky to get a day out of it.
What potential increases am I looking at here?
Many thanks

There is no way to guess or add a multiplier from your rom ro another to see potential increase unfortunately. It all depends how you use the phone. If the screen is on all the time, you wont see any increase in battery life as ROMs and kernels cannot control the amount of battery a Screen uses. This is a constant.
ROMs and kernels optimise CPU so that les spower is used, therefore things that use CPU will affectively waste less power.
The only way to test / compare is to flash something else and use it the same as you do every day.

Thanks for the info; need to do abit of research into this kernel business as I've seen them mentioned alot and nodded in agreement (I have no idea!)
Click the link to guides in my signature. Read the kernel info thread. May help

I don't mind if anyone throws me a pm in regards to seeking more out of the Desire.
And rootSU, we could always do a combined guide on the Desire and how to get the best out of it, if you like

You could assume stock, then at the bottom add root only and mention kernels and set CPU, autokiller, autostarts etc etc
Rightyo, need to do shopping but will be back shortly
Might see what i can work out
AOSP roms are the best for battery of course, but if you like SenseUi, I recommend You InsertCoin 1.1.4 and kernel from -SNQ, (his kernels are better for battery from bananacakes)

It's exactly what is says, raising your clock speed. The DZ/G2 was sold as a 800Mhz device but its processor can actually handle more than that so, with a kernel that supports it, you can over clock your device above 800Mhz for better performance. Additionally, you can under clock it for better battery life.

If you still don't understand what the post above means, which in fact does explain it well, here it is in more layman terms.
Overclocking makes your phone faster. The end. It's like adding more horsepower to your car. Too much overclocking can harm your phone, but a little is okay.
ok so i rooted yesterday and i just downloaded a couple of good apps that root users use. one of them was SETCPU. so basically im trying to get the best battery life possible on this device by using SETCPU, does anyone have good settings or profiles that i should use to get the best battery life?
thanks in advance
200 min-1000 max conservative and undervolt

Overclock may cause damage to your device. Don't do that.

because he is a benchmark freak, and wants to see how its device is performing for one time, nothing wrong with that, if its his choice, let it.

Have a look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647993
Theres only a 1 in 3 chance it will work (different variations of the tegra 3) even then its not recommended.
The One X reaches it's thermal limits quite easily, this is why it is not a good idea.
Essentially the Tegra 3 is already at its limits in the One X.

Cpu limit is 90c so we have room there, the battery limit for charging is 48 but the battery should be rated for upto 60c.

I know its fast already just like pushing the limits, had my desire hd clocked at 1.7Ghz. Thanks for the info.... Appologies for the wrong thread !
