[Q] Underclocking AHD doesn't save battery life at all? - Motorola Atrix HD

I under clocked my phone to save battery life but doesn't seem to be working. I'm down to 702MHz Max and no battery life difference. Its as if I'm not underclocking. Please help.

It is my understanding that, in order to conserve power, the processor spends most of its time running at its lowest possible frequency. When required, the processor will ramp up until the higher frequency is no longer required and drops back down to its minimum speed. Underclocking would help if your cpu was working at max speed of 1.5 Ghz most of the time.

It shouldn't be.... Hey slider is that for half that speed.

[Q] Is This Temperature Normal?

I just wanna ask if this is normal?

Nope, its too high. Normal should be 32-36 and some times the temp may go a little high during charging. But never this high.
The obvious reason is ur Overclocking. Some phones are not built for it. STOP Ocing to 1.6. Try a reasonable 1.3 or the best 1.2GHz
You're gonna burn your battery and your phone into the ground if you don't scale that back.
It is usually best to try and keep your phone under 40c whevever possible, and never above 45c for too long.
Can the phone still run - yes
Is it wise for long periods of time - absolutely not!...

Or simply use the 1GHz standard CPU frequency for which the device was designed.
Overclocking without really knowing what problems this may cause....
Thank You guys.
I will try to keep the temperature in normal levels.
Thanks for the support.

Cpu scaling

I cnt change the cpu scaling setting to anything but the default perfrmance i want to switch it to on demand but it doesn't have the option or allow me to switch it.... what's going on? Tried 2 dif kernels.

It is useless. Our kernels only have performance and powersave, and accordingto big kernel specialists there is no visible difference between those two. In CM7 kernel scaling support was even dropped if I'm correct.

yes you are correct
our tegra devices uses the tegra 2 build in governor at least on this kernel
you can put in as much governors as you want it will still be using its own governor
the settings doesn't do anything on our devices so just ignore it
Hmm i wasn't aware of that, ok cheers guys.

Problem with overclock to 2GHz

I have a problem that is >
when I overclock my incredible s to 2ghz it will hang and it will reboot or in some times I had remove battery .
I test it with all the roms and kernals that support 2ghz and not only 2ghz
also 1920 ghz will become hang too
does anybody have the same problem?
what can I do for it ?
I have a suggestion, if it hangs and rebooted at 2ghz... don't overclock that high.
Maximum recommended overclock is 1.5ghz
I know that but I wanna know that it is my phone problem or not?
Because if the others have the same problem the devs didn't set 2ghz to their kernal

no, it's not only your phone problem, but I higly recommend you to stop killing it, 1.5GHz would be enough at this moment.
It is possible to oc that high however stability is low. I believe the only rom that let me do it was discontinued a while ago it was developed by newtoroot and I could effectively clock to 2.1 using tiamat 1.12. It was quite unnecessary as higher benchmarks were achieved with lower settings.

Processors aren't exactly the same. Some can reach 2ghz, some can't. However, there is no obvious reason to do so. Yours is perfectly fine, just keep it under 1.5 ghz
thank you guys for your suggestion and helping .
you are killing your Incs... 2GHz!!!
1.5GHz would be enough for your using and running all the app.

So was it better at least battery wise before root?
Just simply rooting doesn't do jack squat. Any change in performance or battery life is just a coincidence/fluke.

I'm rooting tomorrow .....I just wanted to show a base line test .... I drained the battery when I got it.. ..and then charged to 100 percent. ...this is a record of my first full battery cycle and benchmark results
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
before I fully charged, quadrant reported my device running At 1300 now I can't get past 1200 but it does read a Max CPU of 1300 I thought this was a 1200 device. ... we'll see what the devs can do. if any ANY of the guys from the epic4g touch come to this thread I have super high hopes .
And yes you are correct rooting alone doesn't do anything for performance. ...now custom kernels one the other hand...

This. It does nothing by itself. It adds two files that don't do anything unless called upon by another app.

Big chip is doing nothing !!

hey guys,
recently I discovered brilliant app ( IntelĀ® Performance Viewer ) which can monitor cpu core usage and freqs in real-time. As I was always concerned about my Z4's underperforming 810 chip, I decided to test cpu in different apps. So heres one - M&B WARBAND which is emulated and requires a lot of horse power. I also spawned around 200 troops to harden the task. As you can see I got 5 FPS while Big Chip (A57) is literally sleeping. Naturally, A53 is struggling at getting playable framerate. Same thing happens in Antutu, GeekBench, PPSSPP, and in every power demanding apps( games, emulators and etc).
WTF is wrong with 810 CPU guys? or should I blame Sony for trash governors which can't figure out when they should activate all cores?

Can anyone test this again in MM? Would be greatly appreciated.

It's functioning much much better. There's another thread that shows benchmarks.

big.Little on this device runs HMP
The most powerful use model of big.LITTLE architecture is heterogeneous multi-processing (HMP), which enables the use of all physical cores at the same time. Threads with high priority or computational intensity can in this case be allocated to the "big" cores while threads with less priority or less computational intensity, such as background tasks, can be performed by the "LITTLE" cores.[10][11] source from Wikipedia.
