So I noticed this switch in the submenu of Settings -> Battery
Quad Core Control
It says turning this on can help to extend the battery life, but what does it do exactly?
Also, when I did the tests on Antutu, there were no significant difference between having it on or off.
Anyone knows? Thanks in advance

Quad core control is a built in governor controller that LG decided to let us have. When turned on it pretty much changes the Governor to either "Powersave" or "Interactive." When it's off the Governor is either "Ondemand" or "Performance."
Right. And I am not 100% sure but I thought it also controls on how many cores it uses.

So it is not like the CPU control found on S3/S4/Note2 which undervolts the cpu and save energy that way?
Hmm. Is there a way to undervolt the cpu without rooting?

I do not believe there is.

I apologize in advance if this is the most noob question ever, but I'm coming from a DX and the mod options are slim.
I've been reading that many people set cpu and underclock to get better battery life. I've been trying to figure out how to do that and haven't been successful.
Can someone point me in the right direction?? Anything I can do to squeeze out more battery life would be great.

Looks like a good link.
I'd also recommend looking at the help that comes with set cpu. Iirc, it was pretty helpful when I was using it.

Is there a true battery savings for the hassle of setting all that up??

The savings seem to diminish as the number of profiles grow. If you keep it simple (say with just a screen off profile), then you'll probably realize some savings.

Currently it's rooted, but the max cpu speed is 1026. I believe it's supposed to be 1526.
Check that you have the power saving setting off.

I installed no frill CPU control
when Iam setting the max CPU frequency to 1709,its not taking effect and the max frequency it can perform is 1498 as show in the statistic.
is there any way to make it take effect?
Not every phone can be overclocked at high speeds, typically i set mine at 1401 on deadline I/O using smartassv2

Most roms contain OC applications...just look thru settings>performance... There's also setCPU or No Frills

You can try installing a custom kernel, what is you're current ROM?

Yes, that is the usual motivation. It is similar to driving a car low on petrol...you ask yourself "how low can it go before I run into problems...."
Some kernel-tweaking combos I know of are Perseus & Adam = STweaks / Saber & others = Trickster / Devil kernel and Devil app
Oh. Another question. In my GPU, 533mhz is 1100. The 640mhz is 1075. So its better if i use 640mhz?

You can lower it to 1200MHz max. Its SAFE. But our device is already kind of slow. I rather would set max cpu frequency to 1800MHz.
The phone is so hot when I set to 1400. What KSM and purging of assets. Do I need to switch on.

Keep both options OFF. Which governor/scheduler min/max cpu frequency do you use?
I'm using DarkCM with KhaN-Kernel 1.7 - sio/smartass V2 - 384MHz/1804MHz and the phone NEVER becomes hot, except during a benchmark.
If you have ongoing heat problems --> try another rom was an option

Gaming is as benchmark i suppose.
Try sio/smartass V2 or bfq/smartass v2.
CFQ = completely fair queue, means every running app gets the same performance. That really makes no sense for gaming.
You ca also give KhaN-Kernel 1.7 - 362MB Ram a try.
Tq very much for your help.
