i like the screen off profile, as that makes a real difference for me in battery life, however i see no point in having battery profiles. do you really want your phone to become slower just because you drop under 50% batt?
normally i would want it to keep going full speed and in the case that im on the road and need to save battery as much as possible i would change the setcpu profile myself (and probably switch off sync and 3g)

Your <30% profile will never kick in, since that is also <50% which has a higher priority.

Newb question: Does one have to have a rooted phone to install Set CPU?

^^^ Yes.
SetCPU needs superuser privileges to do its thing.

Priorities fixed now, I used it with less than 50% and the phone was just as fast doing regular tasks and web browsing

Am just using screen off dont need to use any other settings.

You also need a custom kernel, the htc one can only underclock not overclock

I just use <30% battery, 768Mhz. I let HAVS do all the rest.

So because I have a custom Rom Leedroid, I dont need to disable the driver?

What is HAVS?
Also, what's better for batt conservation (w/out sacrificing speed): Undervolting or underclocking?

HAVS is a set of instructions from the kernel governing the CPU, it undervolts and under clocks the CPU when it is not in use. Undervolting and underclocking go hand in hand.

I have just 1 profile:
screen off: max around 384 MHz. and mim 245 MHz.
Does that makes sense? :-O

G2/Desire Z overclock

How far have people got with over clocking their Visions?
Mines over clocked at 1GHz, i don't think id be increasing it any time soon think it would ruin my battery life
How far have all you all got to? Stable of course

just realised its in the wrong thread sorry il repost in the right one, sorry for an inconvenience caused

You didnt need to open another one. For future ref,.... Just hit

Yeah, its tiny aint it. Good job for asking.

Holy sh** son! I used that kernel for a bit just for fun a few times, you don't tick away at 1.8GHz all the time do you? 1.1 - 1.2GHz for me all the time.

My G2 Is oveclocked to 1.51Ghz. I am running DezireZ ROM Vitreous v1.81. Great sense rom.

yeah the G2 FAST rom is amazazing. As long as you set profiles for screen off, temperature, and battery life.... you are gravy. mines clocked @ 1.89 for about 1/2 the day, and i only charge my battery once a day. JUST MAKE PROFILES!!!!!!!

If you give cyanogenmod a shot it comes with a 1.516 kernal.. I get quad scores in the 2200 zone. If you use rom manager (koush is a hero!) You can download cyanogenmod 6.1.1 and do a backup if you don't like it.

SetCPU profiles?

Hello all... I'm new to Setcpu and have been able figure out how to OC and UV while still keeping everything relatively stable. As of now I'm experimenting with making profiles, I was wondering if someone could post a screen shoot of their profiles and pass on any advice. I am running TNZ Blend 2.6.2 with the Hitman kernel. Here's a screen shot of what I have so far.

The only thing I would comment on is your "screen off" there is no reason for it to be scaling/jumping from 800-1200 "ondemand" while the phone is not being used or the screen is off in general, just have 800 low and high or have 800 as your high and set it to "performance" so that there is no polling being done and it will set itself to the high value which would still be 800 anyway.
You might have a reason for that setting, just trying to save you a little bit more of battery juice.

Definitely bring down that screen off! I have mine set to 200-500 ondemand. I'm sure it'll save you a lot of battery. Also the battery 100% is kinda pointless because that's what the main profile is for. And expect your phone to get extremely hot if you use it while charging since you have it overclocked. I did that same mistake now I keep it at 200-800 to avoid the over heating.

Just a recommendation...you should give tegrak a go. I find it to be much more beneficial than setcpu...

Why scale cpu depending on the battery level? I prefer scaling CPU on my phone by the temperature. 1.6Ghz normal usage and then gradually scale it down if it gets too hot. I bought this phone for its performance, not battery life, which actually is pretty amazing for such powerful device.

be careful with Tegrak, as it doesn't work with some of the non stock kernels, and will freeze your phone for sure..

Pretty good. You don't need the battery>100% profile. Adjust that from the main page.

Yikes! I wasn't aware of that. Guess I'll do a bit more research on that before I fire out recommendations. Note to self...not all devices have the same setup as yours

[Q] Best rom for battery life?

Please my phone litterally died in 3 hours from full charge with 1hour screen on time
Running FINAL SOurcery and Faux 29u kernel underclocked at 1000 mhz with intelli demand

First things first, don't ask "best" type questions on xda. Everybody has different experiences.:good:
That being said, I am personally always running the latest AOSPA (Paranoid Android) and latest AK kernel. Great ROM, and absolutely perfect kernel. I usually get around 3 hours on screen time with that combo.
Of course, you have to remember that there are many many factors that impact battery life. For example, if you have data turned on (either 3g or 4g), gps on, or brightness high, your battery will suffer. Search the forums for various ways to improve battery life.

I always have the best results running stock for battery life.

Maybe you should look into purchasing a new battery.

^^^This. If you are having that crappy of battery life, its most likely the battery itself. No ROM or kernel is going to help you.

Mine too and i have baked +Franco.

Buy extended, cost me 5$ with case! XD
This is heavy use (3G only, no WiFi) also I'm with wind so having a crappy network signal kills it even more, yours will most likely look better.

[Q] any good way to increase battery life

hello:
my evo 4g battery lasts less than one day.
I googled but didn't find any good suggestions.
if I flash a custom rom to remove all bloatware, does it help?
thanks a lot.

I would also like to know this.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

This should be in the Q&A, I Belive but to answer this question, a lot of things affect battery, first a old battery of course won't last you so long. Second are you running a custom Rom? And overclocking it with like CPU tuner or simmliar.
Are you running your brightness high,is your 4g on all the time, are you using music or social media a lot, playing games and so on.
That being said, moat customs roms can improve battery life to a degree, aswell as the kernel you use and what setting you are running it at, for instance I m running my custom Rom with underworld v8 no halvs sbc kernel
And my governer Set with ondemand at 769 max or something like that, I don't run 4g when I have WiFi, and my screen brightness is set low unless I need it brighter I will change it, I also have a lot of tweeks in my build prop, which a lot of other devs do aswell to help with battery life.
There is a nice section in these forums that explain governers you should read it, you will learn a lot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663809
I get about 2 days with normal use on my setup.
Hope this helps.

Also its always good to wipe battery stats when flashing new roms, also discharge battery fully and then charge it fully.

Custom roms usually have better battery life. On average I get the best life out of the sense 3.5 roms with the aggressive lionfish kernel but the kernel does not support ext4. Sense 3.5 also needs sd-ext partition to run and when changing kernels you must manually mount the data partition before you flash the kernel.

The stock battery doesn't last very long, I'd suggest getting an extended life battery if you plan on keeping your EVO for a while.

I use my evo for music now,I thought I lost it for 2 weeks, this is airplane mode ,running cm9

Underclock, dim brightness, install a lean ROM and take off services you don't need I.g. 4G or 3g.
Other than that. Extended batteries are the way to go.
