What is the best freq for longer battery life and smooth device?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
I have the Nexus 4 and in every day use I use have my CPU set from the lowest frequency all the way to the highest frequency and it uses them when necessary. That way when playing a game or using an app or multiple apps I can get best performance from my phone, and then when not doing something that requires a lot performance it simply save the battery by not using very much of the CPU at all. I also find interactive to be the best governor because I don't like how on demand goes all the way up when touching the screen. I like how interactive is easier on the CPU, you will see what I'm talking about if you use the SetCPU app. If you don't have SetCPU, I suggest that you get it, its great! You will also need an app called Trickster so that you can disable something called MPDecision so that your phone cannot go to 1026mhz everytime you touch the screen and you can let the interactive or ondemand governor do its job. In the app SetCPU, there is a profile section where you can create profiles to command your CPU to be at or range from a certain low to high when your phone is doing a certain something, example: you could set the CPU to be at its highest for low as well as high when you open and play Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. I currently only have 1 profile, when the screen is off I have the low and high frequencies set to the lowest, that way it cannot go up at all when the screen is off and will conserve battery like crazy. Normally when your phone is in use and you touch the screen your CPU goes way up, but disable MPDecision and use those apps and your phone will run amazing and you will save a lot of battery. Have fun and good luck!
I cant use trickster mod. When i enter it, it says it needs root access. And i already granted it.

Hmmm... That sounds strange. Is your phone unlocked and rooted properly? Do you use any other apps that require root access and do they work?
Yep. When i click on trickster, im less then a sec they kicked me out and say i need root access

Whatever you do don't use "power save"
Phone won't wake in that mode.

I just set it as 100-1200 interactive. Then set a profile when the screens off 100-600 conservative.
As long as the profile is set from 200mhz - (200-1200mhz) the phone won't shut off and you won't have to remove the battery I had this issue on my phone....

That's because you had it set on "ondemand" I had the same exact issue for a long time before I figured out that was the problem. It has something to do with the kernel doesn't support it right with setcpu or something. I read it somewhere on this forum. I've had it set at 100 min for the last 3-4 weeks and it's never not turned on (as long as it ISN'T set for ondemand).
I'll bump this thread to ask a question.
Around the time I installed SetCPU, I noticed a HUGE drop in battery life. To be honest, I'm not sure if SetCPU is the problem, or if I changed something else on the phone and that's the source of my problem. Anyone know anything that I could have changed unknowingly that caused my battery life to suck so hard.
Don't use set cpu if you can avoid it. Sre sets you to 1.2 ghz and unhelpful supplies a script if you are comfortable doing that.
Limiting speed with set cpu had little positive influence. As long as the scalling is working the cpu should idle with the screen off any how. The only situation I would change the clock is during an overheat condition but I'm running without set cpu all together.
If I'm interpreting unhelpful right the next kernel will make use of user space in set cpu and allow many new things including under voltage to save battery and the creation of custom clocks not written into the kernel so you aren't bound to his preferences.

Where can you do that at? Is that where you make your own cpu speeds?
Use NSTools in any ICS ROM with Icy Glitch kernel.

There are different settings, Ondemand, Performance, etc. What should it be set to to get best performance and does the Set to Boot box be check marked off?
You mean XOOM overclock, right?
interactive is more responsive and use a Tad more resources than ondemand. For the XOOM being dual core interactive is fine. On demand requires a signal to increase speed whereas interactive just does it. I wouldn't set at boot until you know your settings are perfect. Set at boot sets the speed at boot rather than having to go in and raise or adjust speeds.
1.5 ghz and interactive work wonders for me.
Lol I'm probably the only one but I love performance/start on boot. My batt still lasts days and I never have to worry about touching a thing.

U leave it in performance at all times and u still have battery life for days? That's amazing.

Lol I thought so too. I work 50+ hrs a week though so I play with it once, maybe twice a day, for a Max of a couple of hours.

Hey guys/gals I am currently using SetCPU as my oc app wondering if there is any better ones? What are you using and what features you like?
Set CPU allows you to make profiles but only for limited instances... battery life screen off ect. I like that loads on boot which is nice also.
Making bad decision's one at a time.
I use antutu cpu master a lot like set cpu.

Im using Andrev OC, its not really an app, it runs as a daemon, uses a script to activate at boot. Then you can use Andrev OC adjuster and Mytr Undervolt app from market to adjust the script via GUI.
I have changed my firmware from 10F to 10H as I heard that it is much better. I rooted it and then reset it to factory settings and I deleted some of the bloatware. I used LG gearbox and set the CPU speed to 1000mhz on two cores and used this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2048315
In additions, I installed fast dormancy toggle from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2021248
Yesterday, I used the phone with light usage such as browsing for a few minutes that's all, but still the android system was on top, I hardly used it why is this?
On the CPU it shows that it was running on 51mhz for more of the time than deep sleep, that must be the reason why the battery had been draining.
android system is more than one app, is the system it self...
Its logic why is on the top
yeh but even wen my phone was not in use how come it was hardly on deep sleep? compared to the galaxy s3 this battery is much worse as on s3 the android system is below the screen and screen is on top for usage. on the s3 when the phone isnt in use it is mostly on deep sleep.

Even in deep sleep the clock is working, the alarm, keys software...
Like when we are sleeping, heart keeps beating, etc...
That's why it's logic to be on the top

Disregard this, the guy is wrong. Your phone should be in deep sleep most of the time.
Could you please obtain "BetterBattery Stats" or a similar program to post screenshots of your kernel and partial wakelocks? This would help us figuring out what is wrong. My friend has the same phone, and Android system is on top for him too most of the time. We are still trying to find out what is going on.

He's right... Sorry, my mistake
When in deep sleep :
In first place should be "Cell standby" and after "Phone idle".
It's what I have in mine...
After 9 hours my battery drain was 1% in deep sleep.

Check the CPU Governor ,, for dual core we set it "hotplug" but about quad core I do not know .
But mainly the problem with governor ,, governor means something like profile . It controls the CPU frequency to get performance or powersave or both of them .
To change governor install any CPU app and you will find it .
Search about governor with quad core in google . Sorry my phone is dual core (Optimus 3D) .

The Governor has no influence on any app or system process holding a wakelock. The governor merely controls the way the CPU frequency is scaled depending on load conditions.

Yeah . I know
The governor controls the deepsleep which makes system off
So by the governor can enter deepsleep then the system will off .
I know what I say , I do not post things I'm not sure about them

maybe phones battery isnt calibrate. let battery get empty completely & charge it again. repeat this job several times. then use battery calibration & easy battery saver.

did you make sure your apps running don't keep your phone awake? and that the phone does go into deep sleep?
a bit off topic but my problem is that the battery has been stuck at 24% for the last 12 hrs, I've not been using the phone because the earpiece speaker is broken so waiting to get it repaired. I've tried rebooting the phone and still at 24%, I'm going to play a video until it drains the battery and do a full charge. battery info shows the phone has been on for 2 days 11hrs since last charge on standby most of the time.
battery
i charged the phone yesterday night now the battery is still on 100% with no use all day. if i open wifi or start for example an app the battery goes down like a countdown.whats the problem then?
Hi all.
Dont know if this is a stupid request
I am on CyanogenMod based ROM and i want to save battery (maybe) disabling some cores of my O4X...
I read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804461
but not working on CM ROM so...
I ask you!
I read also this 2 threads but I dont know if they are only for htc one x
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630200
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652136
There are tricks to enable only 2-3 cores or something like this?
For CyanogenMod of course!

Hi, you could try with this nice app called Tegra Overclock. I've been using it for quite a long time now and I really like it. It's very simple and you can REALLY set how many CPUs you want online + there are also some other options for OCing etc.
Oh and btw, I just tried that app from the HTC One X thread that you pasted and unfortunately, it doesn't do the job. :/

No problem. I hope that It will help you with your battery life.
also cpu tuner and trickstermod do the job pretty well. If your aim is to save battery check cpu tuner out
But seems that trickster mod dont save those settings for me...
Multicore Power Saving
always set to 0
Max Active CPU core
always set to 1
No way to fix them (various rom and kernel tested).
AND
Seems that tegra overclock fired up my CPU (CPU never goes under 1000 Mhz but always on max)
my phone after few minutes reboots in bootlop cause the temperature reached !
I reinstalled the ROM!!
LOL experience!!:banghead:

You need to set up min/max cpu that way u wont be stuck on max cpu speed and overheat your phone.Tegraoverclock is fine but i am kinda used to SetCpu app.Download cpu spy from market and watch deep sleep that way you will know whats going on with cpu all the time.BetterBatteryStats are fine too.
