Is there a power saving mode some where in this phone. Maybe throttles the processor back ya know, for better bwttery life.

go to setting then battery there you can scale back the cores to help save battery life

I have rooted my S3 and installed a CPU governor. This has helped save my battery. However, is there a way to disable one of the processors to save more battery life?
My guess is no and that ill have to buy an extended battery.

There's an app for that.

I've read about this app/script specifically for what you're looking for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745132
I have system panel app, and it shows CPU1 turned off while using unless its needed. This is on a bone stock system, with the screen off I have no idea, but Im sure its the same.
I only get 3300ish same as wife's. I see a lot of people around 5000ish. I close all apps and clear ram. I am on Rogers. Just curious what score others get on Canadian phones

are you running stock rom/kernel? I just got a tad under 5000 without closing apps or overclocking so what your running will make a big difference.
BTW gotta say hi to a fellow Brantfordian
As stated above, you could overclock your phone.
ON stock tw I normally hover around 5000'ish. 3300 is wayyyy low. Something def going on not right

Stock Rogers 4.0.4, CPU OnDemand 384-1512mhz, /settings/developer options/Force GPU Rendering (unchecked), did not clear ram either.
Quadrant Standard = 4990
Quadrant Pro = 4350
Not that the numbers mean much to me, but these are the numbers you can expect. Perhaps your CPU governor/scaling is set low or deifferent than mine....or also, do you have POWER SAVE enabled?
Yes stock. I rooted and tried various rooms same score. I'm not bothered by the score just checking if others get dame score. I do have power saving on so will try tonight without it. Thanks for all the input guys. I'm trying to get a good base for comparison to jb whenever Rogers gives it to us

Power saving might be throttling the CPU so that its not running its fastest to save power. Definitely try without power saving and let us know.
I'm on CM10 with the ktoonsez kernel not overclocked and I average about 5000, give or take maybe 500. I really can't remember what I got on stock, its been so long
You guys nailed it. I went into power saving screen and turned off the cpu part and got 4955

Great to hear that RegBuckly.
You should FEEL a noticeable difference with certain apps, games or launcher now that you have full speed CPU scaling.
(don't for get to press the thank you button)
I'm getting 3866 in Quadrant (Normal: 5325) and 9586 in AnTuTu (Normal: 16301). Something's wrong, those are almost half what they should be.
I'm running ParanoidKANGDroid and set the CPU to "Performance" in case it was doing some powersaving stuff... is there another powersaving setting I'm missing? I turned off GPS and Sync. I even put it in the damned freezer. I've run both benchmarks multiple times after reboots and all of that and it's pretty consistent with those scores.
:crying:
I've been using eco mode all day at work now and i really dont see any decrease in performance but my battery life has been great. Has anyone else using eco mode noticed any difference or is it just me?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Nope. I'm in permanent Eco mode unless my Note II buddy starts to get a little frisky with the benchmarks. That's when I have to go normal mode and pit him in his place.
I meant to say I've noticed better battery life and no performance loss.

Gotta show em who's boss lol but i think im going to be staying permanently in eco mode also. I love this phone more and more everyday

We ran a few different ones, (quadrant, antutu, linpack, nenamark2) and after the first one, (quadrant) i felt his entire mood shift. He didn't know what he was in for
(I ran a ~7700, while as he ran ~7000) He was blown away by the graphics power difference. Just gotta teach them a hard lesson sometimes.
Mine stays in Eco Mode unless I have the urge to run some benchmarks, strictly for bragging rights. The entire system runs ridiculously fine on Eco Mode, unlike previous phones that would really lag behind while underclocked or using their preinstalled battery saving software. Pocket Legends plays fantastically on Eco Mode and I don't have to scramble to find a charger before getting killed by Skeller Krunch.
How many hours of battery life are you getting with eco mode on?

That depends on many factors for me. My job includes a lot of driving, often through areas with weak or no signal, and I'm getting around 14 hours of battery, with 2-3 hours of screen on. I too keep the phone in eco mode most of the time, and I don't see any real decrease in real world performance. I also have it set for cdma only (no LTE near me) and I typically turn wifi, gps and bluetooth off unless I need them. This is a massive increase over my old evo, which still had the original battery and would die after 4 hours of no use if I was in a bad signal area.
I had eco mode on today and went to play angry birds star wars and the game froze after a couple of minutes. Turned of eco mode no problems afterwards.

Hows your battery life? Mines is horrible tempted to go stock pre root wiped stats and cpu governed down to 400 mhz max and brightness low running wifj only plus my keys magically stopped working

Battery life was never good for me either on CM10. CM10.1 is a lot better on battery IMO
I've had fairly decent battery on CM9+

I'd say my battery life is about 2/3rds of what I got with the last RandomRom.
I just carry a spare battery and keep it plugged in more.
Funny thing is that a friend of mine who has an iPhone 5 gets roughly the same battery life as me, on CM10. She used to always ask me why I did not switch. Now she gets aggravated when I swap batteries as her phone is about to shut down and says, "Don't rub it in!"

My battery life is about 2/3rds as to what I got with stock, but it really depends on use. It seems to use less power and last longer in standby than it did in stock, but more power when I'm using the browser/gps/3g. I tried CM10.1, but am getting better battery life on the latest 2013-01-20 CM10 build.
If your hardware keys are broke, you can enable the software keys. Add the following line to your system/build.prop file and reboot:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
I also created a flashable zip that adds the NavBar and resizes it so it takes up less space here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113542
When I was using CM7, my friend took my phone and underclocked it to 200Mhz and it killed my battery faster due to Android trying to keep the processor speed down.

Usually forcing the use of GPU does cause a difference in battery life, but the difference is unnoticeable. Maybe half a millisecond less of battery life.
Edit: My info may be wrong. I just read this in ICS days in a similar thread.

It should increase battery life since hardware acceleration usually means less stuff for the CPU to process which equals power savings.

I enable it on every ROM i use after ramping up GPU to 384 without really thinking about it. Always has been solid for me. And yeah, im gonna say that it doesnt do a 'whole' lot for battery. But hey, another 5% on a charge? I'll take it.
