I have SetCPU settings:

Have all profiles on "on demand", same as the main.
Phone working really good, no freezes what so ever, so think this is good settings!
But, my issue is that my battery drains from full to empty in just 2-3 hours!
Maybe some settings in SetCPU that is doing that. Have noticed that the mainscreensettings goes back to "interactive" scaling when restarting phone, is this a common issue?
Main: Min 245, Max 710

The rest of my post seems to have disappeared, strange. Depends how heavily I'm using my phone tbh, can last from 8 hours to 1+ days. I'm running stock ROM with OC kernel

Okay strange indeed! =)
I personally think that 8hours is really not good. Dont have time to load battery every 10+hours. Dont know if its the Roms, the kernels or the setCPU that decreases the batterylife this much.
My battery did last longer before flashing the kernel, so I think the problem is either with setCPU or the kernel. I don't mind charging more often, its worth it for a more responsive phone

I dont mind ether, but my phones battery emptys within 2-3 hours, so I really cant use the phone. And I do like the improvements, and see that others have there phones working 24+ hours, so maybe its all up to different settings etc.
Hope this thread will sort some problems out =)

Its maybe 5-6 weeks old, but maybe the battery suffered from the treatment in the washingmachine?
If your phones are lasting less than 12 hours you have SERIOUS problems or you ove ruse it.
My settings 691 max; 160 min - on demand.
Profiles: who needs profiles?
Profiles are for battery safe usage...
1rst page,:
max:768 mhz
min: 122 mhz
I've set 4 profiles in setcpu:
-battery < 40%: 518 max 122 min (interactive) (priorité 100)
-screen off: 245 max 122 min (interactive) (priorité 80)
-charging/full: 768 max 518 min (ondemand) (priorité 100)
-battery <99%: 768 max 352 min (ondemand) (priorité 50)

Yeah, maybe worth the try. Strange when I look at my battery-use it says
Cell Standby: 43%
Phone Idle: 41%
Android system: 15%
Display: 4%
Wery strange that the phones batteryuse is consumed at standby and idle???
Even with profiles my phone it doesn't make much of a difference for me, I just put it for the hell with it

Yeah I only use two profiles, one for temperature and one for screen off. They don't make much of a difference. My phone lasts 3 days.
With normal use and 710max 245min , no profiles , i have 77% left in 20 hours. 3G/2G on , and Wifi on for 8 of the hours. Played some Spotify and showed a mate some Youtube videos (with 3G data).

Hello again,
Is there any risk with runnin my G1 at 528 constantly? I've got the big battery and its just so nice to not have to watch the lag all the time. Thanks.
Hi, there is absolutely no way your phone could be damaged. It's not actually clocking the CPU over it's native frequency, simply reclocking it. Also the voltage is left unchanged. To save battery the manufacturer (HTC) set the frequency much lower, but clearly that won't be an issue to you.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it
I have try this with 528Mhz, and i can say it's not very good for the battery.
only 528 Mhz - > max. 1 day
with dynamic CPU clock ~ 2 days
I use 528 max 376 min, its pretty good.
I was thinking about installing SetCPU but I have heard stories of it not working very well on the Captivate. Does anyone use this, and if so what kind of battery life improvement are you seeing? Post config settings too please!
Its working just fine. I have a live background so my battery usage isnt very great so long as the screen is on. I had some trouble with the system being slow to respond every time I turned the screen back on when I had "screen off" profile set to max 200 and min 100. then it dawned on me that it would always just underclock to 100 I set it to max 200 and min 200 when the screen is off and also started using launcher pro and it is no longer sluggish at all.
This has saved me a gratuitous amount of battery life when the phone is idle.

Thanks for these, I was looking for a some decent settings. Mine were close to that to start, but I had no idea what I was doing, haha
I had some stability problems with it that I am now fairly certain are related to adjusting the polling frequency in advanced settings. After disabling setting advanced settings on boot, and a reboot, it has not caused the phone to hang once. I am also fairly sure that the phone boots with the conservative governor enabled and min/max frequencies set to 100MHz and 1GHz, even without SetCPU - so the main benefit here is profiles to force lower clocks with screen off, or during overheat or low battery.
CPU throttles itself. Any effects of setCPU is placebo effect
Err if you set the clocks yourself, you can produce a difference depending on what it's catered towards. I'm sure if I set the max clock to 200 (assuming the app works) for all situations there will be a difference.
Does the stock ROM have a perflock like the EVO that we need to disable?
Also, does the stock ROM automatically underclock at times, or???
I've now verified after clearing user data, the stock firmware already sets the conservative governor and allows it the full range of frequencies supported by the CPU. Only benefit from SetCPU should be profiles - reduce max clock when hot or low battery, that sort of thing.

I was going to make a screen off profile of 200mhz, to save battery. Should I bother doing this?
Edit: Nevermind, I'm just going to uninstall it. It's locked up my phone twice already
Default Profile: 800 MHz
Profiles:
Temp > 46 C -- 400 Max 100 Min Conservative
Battery < 40 -- 400 Max 100 Min Conservative
Screen Off -- 400 Max 100 Min Conservative
This now gives my phone life of about 2 days with moderate use (1 hour calls, 1 hour browsing and another 30-45 mins of using apps that need screen on like games, etc)

One thing u got to keep in mind, CPU scales up when woken from low speeds (like when u set for 200 n this takes a second or two). After some R&D i realized 400 MHz when sleeping is optimal with hardly noticeable lag.

well, i have tried playing heavy games like asphalt 5, dungeon hunter, assasin's creed... these all games seemed to work with no lag even at 400 MHz when my battery was less than 40. Most apps I have or used or saw were very comfortable even at 400 MHz. But with multiple apps open, sometimes there was lag, so i set the max at 800 MHz, instead of 1 GHz.
Also, I set my connection to EDGE from 3G. This helped reduce phone from getting heated up with long calls.
I tried using this app myself but uninstalled it after a week. While I'm sure there was some underlying cause, it made my phone never wake up from sleep mode when it turned off.
Honestly thou, I know several android phone owners with s lot of phones That didn't see any real change in their battery life as s result. And based on my experiences, I'd say stay away from it.
Just my 2 cents thou

hello i am searching for the best setcpu settings for G1 so i will get the hell out of my g1 !! please help and if double post sorry i didn't see the other at related threads
576 max, 528 min
122 122 on sleep
This is the setting that I have been using, the good thing is it has failsafe profile as well to prevent overheating
Profiles are listed according to order (high priority to low)
Main setting 528 max 245 min
Screen off 245 max 122min (245 max to allow background apps to function properly)
temp>38.6 352 man 245 min
Charging 537 max 245 min
Battery<40% 480 max 245 min
u can set your own max speed, but not advised to go beyond 576
245 is set as minimum when awake because that is the original minimum clockspeed of the cpu
remember to check 'set on boot' and 'enable profile' setting
change them to your liking n have fun!
p/s: my setting is based on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6762470&postcount=208

try it out for yourself, set it, and forget about it, and do your normal daily usage, after that you'll notice of the extra juice available

Keep in mind, the best settings may be none at all.
SetCPU does take a few MB of available RAM - a precious commodity on the G1. I've been going without it using Farmatito's kernels - it defaults to 528 and 245, I think. Only drop about 1% an hour on standby.

Good idea! It may be wise to remove the SetCPU to get more available RAM if the battery won't drop fast without SetCPU.
Hello, I tried searching but didn't find a thread about this. Sorry if there is one that I didn't find. I'm playing around with SetCPU and trying to figure out optimal settings. I know its a matter of preference but I wanted to see what everyones opinion is and what they have theirs set as. I have:
CheckROM Revo noteHD v5
Abyss Kernel
On Demand governor set
Max 1500MHz
Min 200MHz
I want a happy medium between battery life and performance.
I set a profile for screen off to min 200 and max 500.
I've been reading mixed reviews as to whether or not lower speeds actually increase battery life. I originally had the min at 50 but increased it to 200.
Another question is what would be a good temperature to set the temp profile to? Not sure when the phone begins to get too hot.
Thanks in advance
I used FM kernel with ondemand with min of 500Mhz and max of 1400Mhz with 2nd core always enabled, didnt notice that much of a battery loss.
go for rocket rom v22 with abbys note 4.2 kernel
set cpu min 50 max 800
on demand (if u want both cores active)
abbysnote (if u want single core running and 2nd to be used only if required otherwise 2nd would be off)
i got normal usage batt backup of 3 days least
hola a todos
which minimal or maximal frequency of scaling cpu is necessary?
(sorry my english is bad)
my setting:
min freq. 384mhz
max freq. 1242mhz
governor ondemand
scheduler noop
ps: no frills cpu is recommended?
thanks
cpu fre unninstaled...because not save battery...
see you
When not playing games i have 0 lags on min 384 max 1024 mhz. Governor Ondemand.I have huge battery saving with this but im on cyanogenmod. Have about 5 hours screen on and 1 day + time.

Faux CPU allows you to setup profile so max frequency can be raised for specific apps, such as games.

my xperia zr: 4hr and 30min screen on, with stock rom..... because im freeze apps and uninstalled bloatware.
tomorrow or later, create new post with full list.
regards n sorry for my poor english.
??
have you already tried the cpus frills on last version .101?
Guys i have been using the ZR from the last 5 days and noticed that the cpu don't sleep most of the time. Whatever util I use it still runs more or keeps itself busy.
Any ideas? Still I am using Stock 4.3 and i have frozen many apps that are been running in the system and removed a few. Fearing that i shouldn't have a bootloop because i am removing a system file.
Anyway, any suggestions to what to do with the cpu using itself unnecessarily? without any of my intervention?
Also noted that it is going to the max most of the time when I connect the USB to PC to charge the phone. That skyrockets itself and the temp rises more than 40C.
