I don't think the built in battery usage diagram shows anything like that. It certainly doesn't on my Wildfire S or Scroll Excel tablet. I had an app that gave a breakdown of everything like that but really if it uses a lot of battery you can either delete the app or do nothing about it. Really it's just unneeded information because once you discover the battery hogs you can't do anything about it.
If you have bad battery life you can download No-Frills CPU from the market set your CPU Governor to "Scary" and set your I/O Scheduler to "Sio." That should give you good battery life without sacrificing performance. Assuming your Kernel allows those.

Hello
Does anybody use set cpu with HTC Desire ?
I would like to know wich settings work the best for you. I am trying to get the best compromise between battery life and performance.
Thanks
128MHz - 998MHz ondemand. I get more than enough life out of it. I found that if your using AOSP and not really doing much on it like just texting or calling people, capping the max to about 600MHz or 500MHz if you want, works a dream and you get even longer out of it.
Smartass is better or worse ?
I do not see any real difference between smartass and interactive in term of battery live and performance.
On demand seems to drain slightly faster than smartass.
I set my Desire to 384-1136 with interactive govenor.
I charge it once i a day each time before I go to bed anyways (sleeping time usually23.00 - 05.00), so further battery saving is not necessary to me
Edit...my normal usages are:
Syncs (no auto sync by opening):
Friendstream 4 hrs
News 4 hrs
Weather 6 Hrs
push Yahoomail
push Googlemail
push Whatsapp
push EBuddy
Active background :
Lookout antivirus
No app killer used
Phone calls : about 1-2 hrs each day
Music listening mit DSP add-on : 4 hours
Fruit ninja (man! this is addictive!) : 1 hrs
Browsing (Dolphin HD + Android market) : 2 hrs
welll....every time I charge my battery it is about 15-25% left till out of juice...if I use my phone more than those, I have to charge it earlier (more than once a day)
245 - 985 MHz Conservative give mere 36 hours power and running smooth.

For me the battery has never lasted more than a day... Even on my un-rooted one...
BTW: Battery live depends on many things
1. Your ROM and kernel
2. Your runnning application, syncs, etc.
3. your usage and settings such as cpu freq, display brightnes, airplane mode, etc.
4. Received signal quality.
5. The condition of the battery...is it top fit for example?
It is difficult to measure the battery live.
@atuladhikari : battery live has nothing to do with rooting..

I don't like using any of the other governors since I get lag. I hate lag. OnDemand gets rid of the lag for me. I've had it before where I was using smartass and it took ~30 seconds for my screen to turn back on from idle. I wasn't too impressed.
setcpu
thanks meaple for your advice
i think that set cpu is fine on "ondemand" for some roms and for others roms no
set cpu is included on oxygen settings and running well
Cool, I need to download Setcpu
128-998 ondemand
screen off 128-384 ondemand
in call 128-384 ondemand
I get very good battery and performance with theses settings.
Which app do you guys recommend? Tried overclock widget doesn't seem to be working.
Am on Insertcoin stock GB rom.

DidI do that?....I did.... LOL.
I used to use set cpu
set a profile like
Smartass
on charge - 1113mhz
80% - 100% - 998mhz
59% - 79% - 600mhz
35% - 58% - 500mhz
Screen Off - 300mhz
Priority was higher for lower battery %
BUT I stopped using it because of the little bugs, like when it changes to 384mhz for no reason after unlocking screen
It also affects the standard script with the rom you install, so you can never uninstall it properlu, you have to do a full wipe install and never install it, until I did that my phone was always a little laggy
I prefer my phone without it Each to their own
@shankly1985 - you didn't noticed wakeup lag with 128 MHz?
I must use 245 - x MHz to properly and fast unlock my phone.
Best Setcpu config for Desire is - no Setcpu at all.

I couldn't agree more with you. Experienced all of the above so no go.
245-1033mHZ with smartass give me two day out of my desire loaded with insercoin 1.0.9 with v06 kernel !
I am mostly sending Text message and some calls.

Not at all mate, I get zero lag on my phone. when I check the info on the setcpu app and time in state 128 is at 85% so my phone is using very little cpu.
I am a newbie on rooted phones. Just rooted the phone to CM7.0.3 Stable and found out that we have a setting to change the Govenors, currently set using SMARTASS with 245/729.
One question, is it nessesary to install apps such as Setcpu to overclock? or it is just adequet to use the setting in CM7 ? Will both conflict each other? Many thanks
Its useful I think, because you can setup CPU speeds for certain things, such as when your screen is off or when the battery drops below a certain threshold.

depends on you need dude. playing games/ watching videos/ hearing music/ simple phone usage/ battery conservation etc. stock one dont have profiles. but 3rd party like set cpu have it. so that it auto switches profiles according to ur present phone status.

SetCPU is much more useful than the cyanogenmod CPU functions, I did use the cyanogenmod one but I didn't see any changes

yes, the good things are the profiles! but I'm not sure if underclocking the processor really saves battery since i've heard that its just a saying/placebo

Yeah I think your right, strangely enough I think it's the same with overclocking, I put mine up to 700ish MHz and the battery still lasts just as long, I expected a reduction in battery life!

How can I improve the battery life of my play with rooting? I don't want apps that kill every background app though as I may want to go back but it would be killed
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Assuming you're on a stock rom theres a couple things you can do. The easiest would be to root and use Titanium Backup to either freeze or remove the bloatware from your phone as it runs in the background and causes drain. Another would be to look into using some of the tweaks found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269
Another option is to try running different firmwares, personally I found the older ones to give me better battery life while others found the oppisite to be true, so try a few till you find one that suits you. A more extreme approach which will yeild far better results is to unlock your bootloader allowing custom ROMs and kernels. With custom kernels you can over and underclock your phone while choosing more effecient governers (like the smartass governer). You can also undervolt your phone which will probably lead to the biggest saving. Custom ROMs can also increase or reduce your battery life, again, try a few. Personally I run at 1.5ghz on smartass, undervolted as much as possible with version 7.1.0.1 of CM7 and have great battery life. Also keep in mind the obvious tweaks such as turning off wifi, gps, 3g, brightness, etc to prolong battery life.
-EDIT- Also on older firmwares there was a problem with using "Automatic" under time and date where it would cause a lot of battery drain so you may want to turn this off if you think it might be a problem
Thanks, but I'd rather not root my phone yet. Thanks anyways

I would say update to .62 firmware it should be up for all around the world yesterday i updated my arc s to it.I was setting up the phone after (flash before the update) and i had to set up everything again and my battery is still on 70% from yesterday (im talking downloading apps,connectin accs and stuff,like 3-4h of usage and around 8h on idle while i was sleeping).My phone isnt rooted and its with stock rom and stuff
I use juice defender ultimate. It allows me to easily get a days usage out of my phone when before i barely got a day

Hi guys,
Does ROM Cleaner really increase battery life and/or performances?
I have an HTC One X with ARHD 9.0.0
Yes because you can remove crap that you don't use that will run in the background and use ram and prevent the phone sleeping

Also task killer can increase battery life and/or performances. You can check it
Wiping un-needed apps does in fact frees your ram and give you better battery life.
And ROM cleaner does the trick for that since if you use a custom lauchner, you won't be able to use the HTC widget anyways.
I would not recommend a task killer (unless maybe on a stock rom). Since most custom roms nowadays had RAM tweaks build in.
A task killer would just interfere and one x might become unstable.
Also it consumes also battery because it is an app for monitoring the RAM

+1 task killers are useless they close processes that generally will restart anyway then use more ram and cpu to restart and then they are constantly managing processes so they prevent the phone going into deep sleep. Androids built in task manager does the job just fine. If you are really desperate to reduce cpu load use autostart.apk to prevent apps from automatically starting
I use advanced task killer only to manually kill apps when I need ram

well the title said it. i have HOX unlocked and rooted with stock rom , the problem is there is alot of apps running in the back ground sucking my batter dry and filling my ram for no reason. i know there is alot of task mangers apps on the market (im using Advanced Task Manager Pro) it close all the apps running in the backround every 1 min, thats good but i want to stop the problem at it source. is there is a way to block the apps from even running in the first place?
im using :
Ds Battery Saver Pro (to save battery life)
Set Cpu (to control CPU clock thus save battery life)
Go to all apps in settings click the app and then disable.

Should have, I've been using it for over a month and it did wonders for my battery. Did you hit the little plus button in the lower right hand corner. That's how you add apps that you want to "greenify".
