Hi all,
I've set some profiles in SetCPU but haven't noticed too much in battery life savings. I was wondering what others who are using CM 6.1 have been doing/would recommend. Should I get rid of the profiles and just have it set to on demand? Do I really need it at all with CM?
Many thanks!

How high are you overclocking?
What's your usage?
What's are your profiles?
Overclocking to 1401 on demand
I use power amp with scrobbing to last fm for probably an hour or two when not charging, while playing games that aren't to elaborate (boring stuff like sudoko) during my commute to/from work, which is probably my heaviest usage. I also do the same music set up while at work but I'm plugged in most of the time for that and volume is way down. Calls range from 30 min to an hour a day. Some intermittent web and video streaming while at home and on wifi. Typically only on wifi when at home, only when I need heavy data. Data sync is turned off when I'm not charging unless I want to sync.
I have profiles of 368/245 while sleeping, 75 priority; 738/245 when temp is 40.5 C, 60 Priority, 1401/245 when plugged and fully charged, 50; 368/245 when battery less than 10, 60; 806/245 when battery less than 40, 50 priority.
I'm thinking the fully charged one is probably redundant. Should I raise the priority on some of them?

I always set temp as the highest priority however i OC a lot higher then you. What oc kernel are you useing? This makes a huge difference some have a lot more steps which allow better power use. Pershoot is the most efficient imo right now.

I think I'm just using the cyogen mod kernel...but I'm new at this so I am a little clueless on that part. I did set higher priority on the temp and the screen off, got rid of the charging profile. I'm at 13% battery after about 15 hours, which isn't horrible but not the 30 hours some folks have been posting.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
had to dig back to find a good thread to post this on....
so I'm really leaning toward deciding that setcpu profiles do more harm than good in terms of battery. I had profiles set for temp, screen off, charging, battery below 30, and battery below 10. its pretty clear to me now that it wasn't helping my battery. and the only time I even had it overclocked was while charging.
next I'm going to just enable only a screen off profile, and see if having setcpu monitor for less profiles makes a difference. i'm not going to overclock at all. we'll see what happens.
btw I've had a rooted android phone since the G1 so its not like I don't have experience with setcpu. seems that setcpu affects different phones in different ways. so I'm still figuring out how it is on the G2.
anyone have any thoughts on this?
The screen off profile does not work.
Just use the phone out of the box and charge when its empty

really? I hadn't heard that. is this confirmed?
though, it never seemed to make all that much sense anyway, as I wouldn'y think there would be any reason for the cpu not to remain at a low freq with the screen off
The screen off profile works for me. I just set to "ondemand". Lately I've been using "cpu tuner" instead and have noticed better battery life then with set cpu. Plus with cpu tuner you get more profile options.

To be honest, not sure if its the case for you but profiles was the cause of my battery life drain. I took off all profiles and only kept screen off. Even since I did that I get about 24 hours + of battery.

I had a similar experience. The more profiles I had enabled, the faster my battery would drain.
I am using the same setup now and have great battery life. Even with heavy usage I can make it through the entire day without needing a charge.
Running On Demand 1209/245 and screen off 245/245.
Haha this was an old thread. I'm now on CM7 nightlies and would say that in my experience I've had the best battery life running no profiles whatsoever in setcpu. I only overclock to 1017 and it's been pretty snappy still. My experience in going higher than this on CM7 has lead to issues with wake, temperature and battery drain. I personally Have no need for more than 1017.

agreed. this setcpu stuff did not help at my device. nor did it work reliant.
i am managing 1day with heavy use and a full weekend with moderate use without any "tuning".
that is enough for me.
I used setcpu for awhile, but I have been much happier using cpu tuner and "power control".
My battery life is increased by 12 to 24hrs. The key for me is really using power control to manage the screen brightness and under clocking rather than overclocking. The only time I found overclocking usedful was when playing fifa10.
Good luck

Any one knows any method to increse battery life in HTC desire
If you Install a new Rom you must clear your Battery stats. Search in the Forum howto make that for your Device otherwise you see wrong Battery "Stats".
Otherewise there are some Apps where you can Incrase/decrase CPU Power and stuff like that.
update date your radio, that should increase battery life
Installing a Rom will help increase the battery life. The stock one is not so good at it.
Put animations low, display light some lower like 30% and controlled by hand, control your CPU and UV settings by hand. Check your synctimes for all your apps. I think these are the most common things to check and play with.

Thanx for making 'dasSOfa' clear. wiping battery stat won't level up ur battery life.
If u want better battery cycle, put aside eye popping rom and use some AOSP with some right kernel. That should do the trick.
I flashed several ROMs and never messed anywhere near the battery and so far, so good.
If you want longer battery life use Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 + Juice Defender Ultimate. It increases my battery life by about 50-75%
Check out EasyProfiles by SmartDyne, it helps me a lot increasing battery life..
since screen is a huge part of battery consumption, setting a darker wallpaper will increase battery life over a brighter/lighter one. by how much i dont know but it definitely helps, especially if you have an amoled screen.
this is the only thing that i can come up with other than the ones listed above.

ONLY if you have an amoled screen. Pure Black is best. If its SLCD it may even be to your advantage to have a bright one as its quite power consuming creating Black using Light.
I am a heavy texter with medium to low wifi usage. Sometimes I play games on my cell (Everlands) & last night I did some chatting.Usually battery last about a day but sometimes it goes down like after 16hrs which is quite low for what I have heard about this phone. Any way to identify the problem is ?
Maybe that is because I did not really charged uninterrupted on the first day due to constant loadshedding here in my city (about 1.5 hr gap in charging). I've heard Better battery stats is a good way of locating draining problems but I couldn't really understand it well enough to use it to my advantage.
Also I have set my brightness to lowest most of the time so thats quite surprising. Also net usage is mostly web browsing, no google maps or auto sync feature enabled as far as I know. Any tips about locating the problem ? Could hard reset possibly solve this issue ? Anyway my phone is less than 1 month old (3 weeks old) so should I consider taking it to service centre & getting battery replaced. Please help.

The battery is calibrating within 3 weeks if the phone is new (5-10 charge cycles) so the problem might not be a real one.
Are you on stock rom, stock kernel?
IF not, do you have kernel with overclock capabilities (titanium kernel, kiss kernel)?

The calibration thing sounds interesting. Everything is on stock. The phone is unrooted though I once thought of rooting it & rebooted the phone in recovery. How much does the battery last for u ? Right now battery has gone from 100 to 86% in 12hrs with somewhat lighter usage. Is this normal ?

I'm having 48% after 10 hours with screen on at 61% but it is like this because i plugged in to my computer last night to put something on the sdcard.
In general your informations are alright, that is a fairly good battery life. Remember that you have a smartphone with gpu and cpu, and it is normal to eat battery even if when you don't play with it because it makes stuff in the background.
The great battery life i got at 3 days with 50% screen on, wifi, calls, sms at 10-15% but not on stock, using CM9/Paranoid Android and tweaked kernel for better battery life .
In conclusion, don't worry about it. Your battery is fine!
If you really want better battery life try flashing a custom kernel like KISS or Titanium and undervolt your CPU.
I managed to undervolt mine alot (-300mV while idle) and battery life increased to almost 3-4days, which is really impressive compared to 1.5days it lasted before.

Its usually 1-1.5 days for me,its always on eater wifi or mobile network.
And i text a lot.Gmail,Whatsapp etc.
Screen is mostly at 70-80%.
As far as i am considered thats good,a lot of phones these days cant even get to 24h.
It works perfectly stable with the following settings:
Clock VDD (mV)
'24576 700'
'61440 700'
'122880 700'
'184320 700'

'768000 850'
'806400 850'
'1024000 950'
Took me about 2 days to find them.
Sadly you cant go any lower then 700mV, seems to be a kernel restriction.

In my last charge the battery ran for about 1 day 6hrs when it said low bat, which is fine for me. However few times it oddly discharged like in 18hrs. Maybe I played too much games & used a lot of wifi at that time.

"Battery calibration" is snake oil. Period.
Also, I have 2 stock One V's in the family, rooted but no custom ROMs. Both devices on occasion (once a day at least) appear to be in sleep mode but taking the phone into a completely dark room reveals the backlight is still on (albeit very dim).
This is the only thing I see that's keeping my stock ROM from outstanding battery life. Even as is it get good battery life, but I also double check periodically to make sure the screen really is off.

It's all over xda. However, here's a link:

It's from Dianne Hackborn, android developer for Google.
from here
Root your phone, put kernel titanium kiss, make it with 1.2GHz and smartassV2 cpu governor and than flash with full wipe myOneV 8.0 rom, put display brightness to automatic you will have stunning results.
P.S. make back ups to your data but do not restore it all from recovery
I saw here some people who crying about battery life.I decided to post few advices:
ON GB ROMS:
-switch to 2G network if you don't use data conection
-disable all animations(settings-display)
-disable auto-rotation if you don't need
-reduce your brightness or use automatic brightness)
-in "location" disable phone finder
-disable in "connect to pc" ask me
-in "power" disable fast boot and power saver
-in about "about phone-software update" disable scheduled check
-turn off GPS if you are not using
-turn off WI-FI if you are not using
-turn off MOBILE DATA if you are not using
-use SMARTASS V2 with noop/sio
-if you can/want underclock your phone to 480 MHZ
-i recommend to charge your phone with original HTC CHARGERS.
This tips will also speed-up your phone,and yo will see great improvments in battery life and performance.

Tips To Increase Backup And Life Of Smart Phone Battery
Tips to increase backup:
1- If you have bought a new smartphone and experiencing poor or unsatisfied battery backup, charge your phone battery full then discharge it to as low as 10 %. Repeat this process 9 or 10 times. Lithium inside battery will settle and backup will increase.
2- To preserve battery charge, it is recommended to turn off Wi-Fi, bluetooth, GPS and mobile internet (3G, Edge or GPRS) when not required. When Wi-Fi internet is available, preferably use it as mobile internet consumes more battery power.
3- Brighter the display is; more the battery is consumed. Dim the display brightness to preserve battery charge.
4- Use 'Power Saver' to manage battery. If you are using smartphone powered with multi core CPU, limit the core utilization. This will definitely decrease the processing power but increase battery backup.
5- Instead of using live wallpapers, use static wallpapers. Live wallpapers require processing power of CPU and GPU and therefore increase battery consumption.
Tips to increase life:
1- It is a general misconception that charging battery more often decreases battery life. Actually, discharging battery too much decreases battery life. Lithium ion battery and lithium polymer battery offer several hundred charge-discharge cycles. One cycle is full charge to almost complete discharge. It is recommended to recharge battery even if battery has more than 50 % charge left. This will help extending battery life.
2- Deep discharging any rechargeable battery is extremely fatal for it. Smartphones start poking to recharge battery when battery is down. Usually, it begins when battery charge is almost 15 % left. It is best to recharge battery instead of keeping up using it.
3- If a mobile phone is not in use and has to be stored, charge the battery full and put it in dark away from sunlight, extreme temperature and moisture. Recharge its battery after every two months.

Let's get something Straight....
TheUnderclock (really it's called Undervolt) is to purposely slow the phone down to preserve battery.
I don't think the guy who started this would really like his thread loaded with:
ITS SLOW, I DON'T LIKE IT!!!
But remember, it slows the phone DOWN!

Bro, battery calibration is a good thing to re-calibrate battery gauge because over time, the system inside battery to track battery charge may get messed up and requires re-calibration. But I must add, re-calibration should not be done repeatedly. It is because, when gauge is being calibrated, battery is deep discharged to 0 % and deep discharging any rechargeable battery is not good for its health.
Anyone remember how long their battery lasted @ 480Mhz??

Nice tips to increase battery li:victory:fe
Hey 1ce, I'm posting here because I can't post in the Shpongle thread.
First of all, the ROM is awesome, and it makes me love using my One V because of how smooth and fast it is. However, I wanted to report few things:
1. In the ROM thread in page 128, bandit97 wrote:
So is it just me that has these battery problems?
No matter what my phone is doing. Sleep, Lock, Something, Nothing. The battery continuously drains to zero. After 5 hrs of a full charge just sitting there its dead. Never mind if I do anything. On sense roms and PA 2.99 I get pretty decent battery performance. Is there some tweaks/settings/apps I'm missing out on? I love this rom and its all around performance. But I travel a lot and I just cant afford very short battery life. Its really the only thing holding me back from using this as a daily.
Are any battery tweaks being worked on or available?
Tried
Stock Clocks/1400//BFQ/cfq/Smartmax/Smartassv2/
All the same
Any advice?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I wanted to say I'm having the exact same problem...my battery life has been reduced to about 60% of what it was. It keeps draining even when my phone is on sleep. I checked my battery usage stats (the built-in feature) and it says 50% is screen display (although I have set the brightness to the lowest possible and disabled auto-brightness).
2. I noticed when listening to music, that the media volume levels have a bigger difference than I remember having in Sense. What I mean is, that I often listen to music and the current volume level is too low, but the next higher one is too loud. Is it possible to make the difference more subtle (making more volume levels basically)?
Thank you.
I managed to get better battery performance buy using V6 Supercharge zipalign and turboboost mentioned in response to what you quoted. I also ran my battery right out and fully charged it without turning it on. Then calibrated it. I still don't even get even close to stock/sense, but marginally better. It drops 5-8% overnight now.
What clocks and IO/Governor are you running? Using auto sync or weather? Do you use greenify? Could be a lot of things.
