Hi all guys, I have got stock rom with a custom kernel for a lot of time. But with Cm 10.1 I can't get the same battery life and I don't understand why. All people here say the have more than 3 hours of screen-on time. But I can't say the same and I don't understand why.
I have optimous prime kernel and cm10.1 and I set every time these CPU frequency:
Min 102 MHz
Max 1.2 GHz
Interactive Scheduler
I don't have any strange app that cause drop of battery. I was wondering if Facebook app can drop it, but I have setted Facebook to don't synchronize.

Install better battery Stats or any other app that measures the sleep time of your phone, and see what's keeping your battery drain and / or keeping it from going into deep sleep
he is right. some app must drain your battery otherwise the battery is dying. also i can say that 1.2 is really low. mine is 1.7 and is running like a lion for around 3 hours too.

Wanted to post in the talon dev thread but didnt have enough posts.
so heres my setup
I'm running serendipity VII build 2 rom
Talon dev 4.1 1440 oc 340mb kernel
and JVQ modem (tried jv6, and jvo)
also i have the bluedipity theme installed
My voltage control settings
sched = vr (tried sio, and noop. didnt notice much difference)
Conservative (powersave is unresponsive [on 100mhz constantly, takes forever to get back into VC], ondemand sits between 1000 and 1440mhz constantly [lowest ive seen it go is 800, but not for long])
UV to -75 across the board (was on 125 on talon 1200 oc, but too many issues on 1440)
my battery life was ok on talon 3.1 oc 1200 340mb
but now i hardly make it through the day with minimal use
i unplugged around 8:30am by the time i get home from work at 5:30 battery is at only around 28%
by minimal use i mean i only made 2 phone calls, send/receive a few texts, check email, facebook, xda, and a couple sites once on lunch and thats it
any suggestions on improving my battery life? id be happy with 1200 oc if i could have decent battery life
I got decent battery life with Talon 0.4.1 1200 OC. I use Dlev-3.8.1 rom, with TUBJV6 modem. Bettery lasted 2 days after full charge with normal use, including several short calls, a couple hours wifi internet and Angry birds, and some other usage I couldn't recall.
Something isn't right. You should be using the ondemand scheduler, and it shouldn't be stuck between the high clocks. It should go down to 100MHz when nothing is being done, and jump up to 1000MHz+ when there is activity. Either something went wrong during flashing, or there's something running in the background that's keeping the phone active.
I haven't tried any of the later Talon builds, but considering I get up to 2 days with more than moderate use on one of the older ones (no undervolting, 1200MHz OC), such a decrease in battery performance seems off.
That's what I thought. Ill go back to 1200 oc and see how it is

Has anyone underclocked their O2X? I personally think that overclock is a bit of a placebo effect so I just want to know if anyone has underclocked their phone and if they can kindly share the performance of the phone as well as some benchmarks. I've seen people underclock their Galaxy S2 right down to 500mhz and performance is very smooth! Is O2X similar?
I didn't do any benchmarks (speaking of placebo effect ) but I use setcpu with vorkkernel so that my top frequency gets more and more limited with the battery level and overnight. This way I manage to only loose 1-2% during the night and the phone alive for a couple of hours when under 15%.
I noticed a certain UI lag when under 500mhz but not so much in the graphics department, I guess the gpu has it's own clock.
I have underclock/undervolt to 800Mhz/900mV and works very smoothly
just got setcpu... those profiles are awesome
Lg home is a memory hog and seems to be quite cpu intensive compared to most other home apps but if using a dif homescreen then maybe it will still perform smoothly otherwise i doubt it will perform good.
Hi... I have installed cynogenmod 7.1 Stable. In Performance > CPU Settings, it shows 216/1000MHz as the only available frequency. I installed SetCPU, it closes saying some error.
Can you please tell me what I have to do, basically I want to underclock it for battery issues.
Thanks
Just undervolted all default values by 100mV, stress test running perfect. CPU at 52C on a 18ish ambient day.
I have 3 setcpu profiles on stock.
In call : 312/216
Screen off : 216/216
Battery <100% : 760/216
Getting amazing stand by time, 2h 30m since I unplugged the charger and only 1% battery spent.
Getting decent results during use as well, or atleast thats what I call it. Earlier today I went through 400+ google reader articles over wifi and watch accompanying youtube videos and also checked some external links. After about 30 mins I lost 7-10% battery. I think thats good enough, unless someone here is about to blow my mind with their results
3h and 30m now still at 99%.
5 minutes of evernote and battery at 95% now. Sooo unsatisfying.

Neoblaze, from SP2.
I need as stable ROM as possible, but fast.
all stock from Topogigi's built.
Do you have google video calling via front cam ? That's all I care about and I cant find the answer anywhere.
My lg might be getting decent battery life but the entire operation/daily use experience is very bad. Last night I used subsonic to stream my home library to my phone and while I listened to it I read stuff on google reader and then everything started to lag. Just setting the max and min isn't working well for me. I ran antutu last night and got 4500ish numbers with setcpu and juicedefender off and You are getting 6500+
quabrant 1580marks on 600mhz
after 3 hrs on 600mhz I'm impressed with the battary live!
3hrs wifi browsing, 2times quadtant test. battary dropped 12%

Post more info, what rom, kernel etc. I set my max to 600 and I get good battery but it takes all the fun out of using it, everything lags. You can still do things sure but I dont like lag.

How is the battery life ? Also the 800mhz wake and undervolt are those part of sp3 or extra steps you did ?

100% stock rom + over it.
the version is 2.2.2 v20b
nothing lags. the only diference i see is thet lock screen sart to respond about 1second after power button is pressed. before it was instant.
Thanks for the info. I'm on v21b rooted with setcpu max set to 600ish and there is noticeable lag everywhere. Feels like how the phone was when I first got it and had to replace the lg launcher to get rid of the lag.

6500+ is when I overclock to 1,4GHz.
it's only for benchmark, and not for daily use.

battery life is about 24h of normal use.
I always connected to wifi.
oh, and I replace LG Home Launcher with Xperia Launcer.
it's lighter, no lag even use lower clock speed.
Just wondering what sort of battery life people are getting with the touchpad on standby?
I am using cm nightly 9-20120608-nightly-tenderloin, the CPU is set to min 384MHz and the governor is set to powersave, but I am still losing about 25% battery in 10 hours on standby.
yh i'm the same too

The battery life for the touchpad, in android, is not good. It you know you're going to turn yours off for a while, either go into webOS, or shut down completely.
yeah I am tending to shutdown the touchpad to save battery
life. Can't remember the last time I booted into webos

With a CPU governor and the proper profiles, you can get pretty decent battery life. I suggest CPU Master.

im just wondering how much does the governerr effect battary life? i changed from ondemand to smartass2 and im not sure i see any diffrent...
and im scheduales which one is best for multitasking and which is for when playing games?
and should i change the governerr setting?
i also read that sleep_ideal_frequency should be 200 and not 100 beacuse 100 wastes more or something like that, is that true?
using galaxy i9000 semaphore kernal jb

I use Performance governor all the time for 3 months now, battery life is same as on demand, smartass v2 or any other governor, except my phone lags much rarely than on any other govenor. For those that dont know, CPU of PC, your phone, calculator or anything else always works at 100% of its frequency even it has no work to do (Let's take for example your PC, even cpu usage is 5%, CPU still works at full frequency, the same works for your phone), so to me there is no point of any other governor except for Performance. If you have problem with battery life, it's mostly your screen. When I drain out my battery, my battery mostly get drained by screen (70-90%), I use about 0-30% of brightness always. Screen of 60-100% brightness will probably drain your phone's battery in 2-3 hours.

This is so wrong its a pain to read.:banghead: Why do we have the max and min frequency options in the semaphore app? Why do we have "Max Performance" and "Max Battery" power settings on laptops?

There was a thread some while ago that concluded in OnDemand and Performance being to two to give longest battery life and best performance.
I don't have specifics or even a link, but the thread was about schedulers and governors and which went together for best performance and battery life. I'm sure it's google'able

i found that thread but im just wondering how much battary life is wasted if i prefer preformence?
lets say i use smarassv2 since its faster will my phone drain lets say insted 20%\hour - 22%\hour? or is it more then that?

maybe you can try and tell us
There should be a significant impact regarding battery life when using Performance for example. But it also depends on what you are used to. If you play games all the time or do heavy tasks, the governor will kick the CPU to 100% all the time anyway. But if you mostly surf on the Internet or read texts there's no need to let the CPU go rampage.
Oh and Btw: Modern CPUs in notebooks or computers in general clock themselves down as well when they're idle.

HI I am having heavy battery drain
running version from 15/03/2014
I had a maybe 3 minute phone call but still the phone app has eaten up 37% followed by 31% android system
total 72% left after 1h36min
This is a new behavior, up to last week it all worked smooth.
the CPU governor in nofrills CPU is now set to performance since on demand or power saving make the phone very sluggish
Also Video app is not working, just crashes same result in Focal
Any ideas or tips?
Thanks Merlin
You do realize the performance CPU governor makes the CPU constantly run at 1 GHz? This will of course drain your battery.

It's maybe the 1GHz bug. The 1 GHz bug cause the heavy battery drain. Try this, turn off wifi and reboot.
its 1ghz bug if you are using ondemand. but i hope you know performance governor keeps cpu freq. at 1000mhz.
im using abbysplug/sio governor. and my battery lasts for 18 hours.(wifi or mobile data on. sms Messaging. whatsapp. facebook games rarely)

abbyssplug change the processor performance. You can find it in Settings > performance > processor > CPU governor
go tp settings>about phone and press repeatly to build number. you will see "you are a Developer now" text. go back. performance menu must be appear. you can set it there cpu governor.

A fellow user thankfully redirected me to this thread and told me about this governor setting you mentioned above and i must ask you some questions if you dont mind of course
1- What's the difference between Abbysplug and Powersave governor? I have my phone underclocked at 200 at all times and the sluggish speed never seemed to bother me much, so is there a difference between these 2 governors when it's at 200 all the time?
2- Have uninstalled/frozen/disabled any system or built in apps?
3- You leave the mobile data on for 18 and the battery lasts????
Please give me your exact settings, man; i'm desperate. :crying:
