Hi all
Here are a few tips i would like to share wid u all. These tips will help u extract the maximum juice out of your androids
Starting wid the simplest one
TIP NO 1 - ENABLE EXTENDED STANDBY MODE IN POWER SETTINGS{xperia 2012 series only}
If u are on stock ics rom , go to settings, power management and check extended standby mode.
yes do it, this doesn't affects battery drain but enhance the standby time .
This helps to switch off wifi and data traffic when the phone screen is switched off for sometime.
Basic but most useful.
When this is enabled , u dun need apps like Juice defender or DS battery saver
TIP NO. 2 - DO NOT USE ANY APP KILLERS OR TASK MANAGERS
Most of us use task manager to kill apps running the background regularly.
But we may notice that most of the apps killed by task managers get restarted by themselves.
Thus all these app killers continue to drain battery and do the same thing all around,
These app killers will also make your phone laggy to some extent because of poor ram management
TIP NO. 3 - UNDERCLOCK
If u use your phone only for basic purposes such as messaging and calls then there is no problem in underclocking.
800Mhz would be fine wid minimum or no performance glitches.
This not only relives strain on cpu but saves battery.
I myself have underclocked this and belive me 800mhz does not affects the performace of most of the games(if u play)
TIP NO. 4 - USE GOVERNORS
There is no defination for governors but u can say these are the engines that control the cpu frequency time to time
There are several governors present most commonly used being ondemandx , conservative and powersave.
1: OnDemand Governor:
This governor has a hair trigger for boosting clockspeed to the maximum speed set by the user. If the CPU load placed by the user abates, the OnDemand governor will slowly step back down through the kernel's frequency steppings until it settles at the lowest possible frequency, or the user executes another task to demand a ramp.
2: Performance Governor:
This locks the phone's CPU at maximum frequency. While this may sound like an ugly idea, there is growing evidence to suggest that running a phone at its maximum frequency at all times will allow a faster race-to-idle.
3: Powersave Governor:
The opposite of the Performance governor, the Powersave governor locks the CPU frequency at the lowest frequency set by the user.
4: Conservative:
A slower Ondemand which scales up slowly to save battery. The conservative governor is based on the ondemand governor. It functions like the Ondemand governor by dynamically adjusting frequencies based on processor utilization. However, the conservative governor increases and decreases CPU speed more gradually.
go to this page to know more about governors
http://androidforums.com/xperia-mini-all-things-root/513426-android-cpu-governors-explained.html
For setting up governors (if installed) and underclocking use a free app like Antutu Cpu Master (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree&hl=en )
TIP NO. 5 - DON'T INSTALL APPS UNNECESSARILY
This does not needs an explanation. Just remember that when apps run in background , they consume battery. More the number of unnecessary apps running, the more faster is the battery drain.
Keep only those apps which u use frequently and if u are a rooted user, delete all bloatwares, FREEZE GMAPS AND TIMESCAPE IF U DUN USE IT.
TIP NO. 6 - CHOOSE NETWORK MODE AS PER YOUR NEED
Whether you are using WCDMA or GSM network or WCDMA/GSM , choose it as per your need.
If u are on the internet only for surfing then use GSM mode and switch to WCDMA only if u need to download.
This as per my usage has the greatest impact on battery life.
to select network mode , go to settings>more>mobile networks>network mode
While surfing only (xda ) i use opera mini app wid GSM mode enabled and its very fast .
P.S. - charging your battery only when it is about to get exhausted belongs to old school now. Charge whenever u can charge
NONE OF THESE TIPS REQUIRES SOMETHING SPECIAL OR TECHNICAL TRY THEM AND U WILL DEFINATELY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
I hope you like my guide, its not copy pasted , its not stolen from someone, its purely my experience.
If u find any discrepancy plz let me know.
Feel free to share your tips here and discuss your experience
Thanks a lot for this, very informative.
When freezing apps the names of them, though some are obvious, its quite overwhelming to know what exactly to freeze.
Can you give a few example of apps you would freeze. In my case I'd like to freeze the following:
Setup Wizard
Live Wallpapers (example; Bubbles)
Stock Email app with Exchange Services (Do I need this)
Stock Calender (Do I need this)

If you charge your phone to around 100. Then it will be considered as one charge cycle. And if you are charging it upto 80, 85 then it wouldnt be cosidered qs one. So as OP said, it is safe to charge it frequently.

I thought that too but from my experience it's not true the only time I had problems with my battery is because I either didn't fully charge or discharge then it seems to cap or deteriorate at the level that I plugged in or unplugged and I have noticed that on my devices and others
don't be scared it's only a phone

Well, underclocking is what people usually does to save battery.
And you want to force people to root and you post it here?

Powersave is not reccommended governor it locked the phone to the least possible frequency.

There's something missing there xD. Because some people reading what you said can be thinking: wait a minute! does this mean that i can charge my phone only to 85% everytime instead of 100% and the battery will never die because it will never do even One Single Charge Cycle? Great .
Just by curiosity, what would happen if we really charge the phone only to 85% instead of 100% everytime? xD, battery gets a head shot faster and dies? battery dies faster because we feed him less? battery dies faster because his jacket makes him hot and then he melts after some time? Or any other option? xD.
Cheers.

hi there,
i have some problems with my phone. the battery drains very fast. like i receive a sms and leave it there untouched for 2 hours and the battery drains from 100% to about 60%
Another problem is that i get force close on almost every app. facebook, go sms and so on. and the respond time is very slow. like SLOW

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I've manage to figure out (not really figure, more like a hunch/guess) what went wrong. its the kernel.
now im using Apocalypse ROM [Firekernel OC] by itasoulas
Im really sorry but I dont understand any of the tech stuff posted here, but what I do know is that my 1 yr old battery on my Ace is like worth 3 minutes of calls now (only)!!!
Pls help. Should I get a new battery instead?
Thanks!

Hey,Check how much you have clocked your phone at and the governer
Settings>CyanogenModSettings>Performance(press OK for the warning)>CPU Settings;If the governor is ONDEMAND, change it to Smartassv2 and increase Min value to 245. I use Apocalypse and my battery life is awesome(check the attachments).
Second lower your screen brightness simple yet effective. also increase the Max value in the CPU settings to 902 for zero lag.Also set the network to only 2G if you dont want your 3G on all the time.This saves lot of battery life too.

DCTopTeam - u can check the physical battery condition whether is bloated (feels expanded), this is an indicator that the battery is about to die
Flash a kernel, i recommend The ace kernel beta 4, it is discontinued, but has no bugs, a long battery life included

902 seems high... that might drain the battery faster. i don't go higher than 825.

Have you tried the current custom kernels?
I am using SpeedMod 3-9 and it has an excellent battery life - on heavy usage (internet, emails, ebook reading, messaging and phone calls) I reach the end of the day with at least 30% left - and I am talking about heavy use - around 4-5 hours.
For me this is more than enough.
But I am using "ondemand" CPU governor. If I change to "powersave" the battery consumption will be even lower, I think.
My suggestion to you - give it a try - our beloved Note is one of the best in battery tests - and with these tricks it is even better!

You even can reduce power by using a single collar wallpaper.
For black take a picture in bl&white in the lowest resolution with the lens covered with your finger.
You can select this picture as background.
If you like an other single collar you can do it with a paper of your choice

really ? i'm using that for one day, with heavy use of emails, texts, and watching CCTV in my office with 3G always + wifi = end up 10% in 6 P.M from 7 A.M. and one more thing, i love live wallpapers, so i use Koi wallpaper, and auto brightness.. i thought that with 2500 MAh battery it would last more than 1 days of heavy use... you know, i seldom use that in my house, but very heavy user in the office, no games.
bump, how about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257497 ? more kernels = more choices for users
there is already a ton of custom kernels for the note, Surely you havent tested them all ?
99% of battery drain is down to the user ! anyone will confirm this, You should look a bit deeper into your configuration.
start from a full wipe, test several kernels and try all of the Governors & Schedulers, Use something like 'better battery stats' for precise information of which apps use most power, fiddle with settings like auto-sync, wifi off when sleeping, data network deactivated when not in use ect ect.
1 day battery life is about the average for the average user, This is a powerful device with a massive screen and 2 CPU's, you cant expect the stock battery to last forever, Maybe consider an extended battery ?

Tons ? You gotta be kidding me.. i tested goku, speedmod, notecore. I believe speedmod is just a bit better, but not yet satisfied me. full wipe in ics roms is a troublesome work .

For the usage you described, it seems that no modern smarphone would handle it - maybe the Moto Maxx, with its huge battery - but it is not in the league of the Galaxy Note.
But, instead of going to an extended battery solution, which would make your Note heavy and thick, you could go for a "spare battery" solution. And you can find plenty of good quality batteries+charger for less than $20 on Ebay - this should solve your problems entirelly.

Well you have said it all and given your own answer in your post - you are a heavy user and there are no scripts on xda that will give you additional battery unless you bring 2 or 3 stock batteries with you.
Extended battery is a bit too big in my opinion and will make the Note really too bulky, but if you don't mind the size this is definitely the way to go to have more juice by the end of the day.

OnDemand, Conservative or SmartassV2 are a good compromise regarding speed and battery. Your battery will discharge a bit faster ofc but your phone will be smoother as well. Use CoolTool for live statistics of the CPU frequency.
Just play around a bit with the settings and use the link I posted above for help. If you want to know anything, feel free to ask me
There are several other settings on kernel side which affect speed and battery life.

Thank you so much!!! I'm gonna be honest and say I am a n00b and I won't really understand the statistics...or change the frequency manually...
Can I run SetCPU with all the kernels or just use the Kernel's governors (like Devil's let you choose a governor).
P.S - Tried the SmartassV2 looks okay to me a bit laggy though...

Yeah, SetCPU can be run with any kernel. You can download the devil kernel app on Google Play to set everything, so SetCPU is redundant.
Statistics are quite obvious - the phone should hit min. frequency as soon as possible on the one hand and it shouldn't lagg on the other hand Lazy governor is good as well.
Btw: You are here to learn something so it's absolutely okay if you ask questions. That "noob-excuse" is kinda lame cuz you read and study the stuff by asking others /reading topics Everyone has to learn to succeed.
Anyways, ask me if you got questions

Hi guys,
I am not new to using custom ROMs but I would like to understand a bit more about optimizing my beautiful phone to my needs.
I am running the latest stable CM and just today flashed Iodak kernel 0.7
I understand with using Trickster MOD I can do a lot tweaking - but I don't understand most of what I can do there and whether it would actually make things "better" for me.
Here's my request:
Can you tell me how I should set parameters in Trickster and explain at least in short why?
I do not game on my phone, I use it mostly for social interaction and navigation, therefore I suppose I don't need max power, I am rather interested in good battery times while not loosing the smoothness of use.
Thanks in advance.

Your needs is same as mine...What ive done using trickster mod is changed Governor/Scheduler..On SmartDimmer, Disable FSync, Undervolt all frequency...As undervolting values varies with your usage...As mine, i lower down most of the freq above 1000Mhz and below that freq, i undervolt as medium value as i can, to be exact, 25mv each...
As Governor, read up about each governor behavior and find the one that most suited you, same as Scheduler...
I'd prefer Interactive+Sio...Hope this helps

also because im an overclocking maniac and my pc is already 50% overclocked with liquid cpu cooler and more 6 air coolers, keep in mind that u cant overclock any machine more than 20% which is stable. so the max stable overclocking for our optimus cpu is to go to 1700. but thats the MAXIMUM stable. maximum means that it will get high temperature which is bad. but its ok. the optimus has functions that lower the cpu automatically so it cool again. If u connect the phone to charge it and play a game with 1700 cpu frequency it will get to max temperature in some minutes. so u wont be able to get any better perfomance from that. RESULTING: To overclock any machine u need to find a way to keep it cold. if the machine is cold then u can overclock as much u want. the phone doesnt have a way to keep cold, except if u hug an air-condition.
Thankyou verymuch for explaining but is there a possible way to make our phone cooler just like a pc fan cools the pc?

Some people have claimed getting a new non lg battery reduces heat because our battery is wrapped with a plastic that does not disperse hear well
Also others have bought graphite sheets

only 2. one is to be always next to an air-condition and the other is underclocking not overclocking. its impossible to overclock a phone to play smoother games and also keep it cool. its not like you can open it and put a fan inside all this overclocking thing is useful only if u wanna have some live wallpaper + many widgets running smoothly.

imho : it's not the battery that become hotter.. it's the cpu & gpu.. the battery position is below the LG logo..
you can feel the hot area is upper side of the LG logo...that's where the cpu placed..

Sorry I meant that the battery does not disperse heat well that why it keeps the phone is hotter for a longer period of time

You can always play inside a refrigerator...
... or remove the back cover and play without it (be careful for the battery won't fall out). Won't do MUCH difference tho..
I use wolfs 008b kernel on latest stable cyanogenmod with very good results for gamming.
I even play games underclocked @1200 and all games run smooth.
You can always tweak a lot of settings using trickster mod. I use a combo of weathley / row @1200 all the rest at default settings
Please don't open "best kernel/ROM/mod/...." threads. There is no best kernel, ROM,...
Every kernel/ROM has it's good and bad sides. Decide yourself
