Look for ways to conserver power but not waste time either:
Off: Wifi
Off: Bluetooth
Off: Gprs
Off: Incoming Beams (infrared)
Off: Sounds
Thats just off the top of my head. Now obviously some of those listed use much more power than others? What really makes a difference?
Is there something to scale the ARM cpu?
How about the Backlight?

I've already got a few power saving options checked with Suite Tools, what does the "Save Power" do in Quick Settings?
I didn't notice screen brightness adjust when I activated, just wondering what else it does.

I think it's conserves the cpu usage, reduces the brightness, turns off haptic feedback and disables data when screen off.

I've already limited CPU to 1 core & 1Ghz, reduced brightness and disabled data/gps when screen is off through Suite Tools, just didn't do haptic feedback.
Thanks for the clarification.
1 core with 1GHz will not save any power.
In single core mode, cpu will be clocked max, almost all the time to hande all tasks. It will take longer for cpu to compute = more time cpu stressed = more power consumption.
Limit cpu to dual-core 1-1,2GHz.

Does Power saving mode still work when using an app like SetCPU, or do the OC apps overrule the CPU underclock setting of that mode?
I understand that power saving mode does other things as well as just underclock the CPU (ie lower brightness etc), but I was specifically thinking about the clock settings.
I've not decided whether I will OC or not yet. I will definately play with the voltage settings though. I'm finding that my tablet gets extremely warm in the lower left hand side when put under intensive use. But back to my original point. Id like to be able to underclock it on the fly at a push of the button and find im enabling that setting alot with the stock set up...
Thanks
So I have a Tasker profile that fiddles with governor settings to make it fairly responsive when the screen turns on. It then reverts back to more conservative type settings when the screen goes off. I'm not changing governors, just using Tasker to edit the governors settings.
Am I writing to FLASH everytime the screen goes on and off?
I figure turning the screen on 13 times per day will result in almost 10000 writes per year. I assume there's some sort wear leveling going on, but I'm wondering if I created a potential wear out issue here.
Hello,
I noticed the option in Display settings "reduce display energy consumption", how does it affect the battery and display?
Is there any reason to turn it off??
