Battery Life considerably shorter [CM7] OC 1.1Ghz

Hi
So I have a rooted Nook Color with CM7 Nightly Build 41 and Dalingrin's OC Kernel running at 1.1Ghz max / 800Mhz min. I have not disabled Cell Standby and i use Launcher Pro. My Nook's battery life seems to be less than 5 hours while i have seen other people get 10+ hours in the same situation. I have been using it considerably but i would think that my battery life would be greater.
One thing to note is that i did NOT fully charge the nook before using it like it said. Would this be the cause of such a low battery life? If so are the batteries replaceable?
Thanks

its because you have 800mhz min, set it to like 300

Well thats including standby but i have been running emulators for N64 and NES etcetera, But it seems like even without running games the battery drains rather quickly
Heres my Battery Statistics:
Display: 57%
Phone Idle: 9%
Cell Standby: 8% (Yes i know this can be disabled)
Android OS: 7%
Market: 5%
Dolphin Browser HD: 4%
Bluetooth: 3%
Wi-Fi: 3%
Cordy: 3%

Will setting it to 300 affect any performance negatively? Whats the benefits of having a higher min?

it will not make the performance worse. setting it to 300 means that when the nook is doing nothing it will be at 300mhz which uses less power and battery.

^this, instead of idling at 300, with your settings you are running at 800 all the time, thus your battery life is terrible. also set governor to interactive. if you have it at performance it would be running your nook at 1.1 all the time.

I think the default governor on Dalingrin's kernel is set to ondemand. Is interactive batter with battery life?

Conservative is better with battery life. Dal recommends interactive, since when the screen sleeps it drops to the min cpu setting and can go up to max if necessary. If you want a little more power he recommends setting interactive min to 600 although this will hurt battery life some. He never recommends performance as that keeps cpu running at max only.
There is a new testing 4/24 OC with max of 1300 for most and 1200 if 1300 does not work for your nook. He say that this has little effect over 1100 as the majority of battery life is determined by the display. I am using 4/23 OC at 1300 max, 300 min, governor interactive. The 4/24 OC kernel has the additional 1200 setting plus other improvements. I will probably upgrade to it.

You don't. It's pointless and just causes other problems, such as your volume keys won't work..

So how is battery life with the latest stable or nightly build?
I'm going to take the plunge and install CM7 tonight coming from an autonootered Nook running 1.1.
I've read that the devs have found a fix, just wondering if they have filtered into the newest builds.

I've been getting verily bad batter life with my Nook (7.03 stable) and SetCPU at 1200/1300Mhz with interactive. I've played with it for 2.5 hrs and it has dropped 30%. Mind you, I watched one 30 min tv show, played two games for maybe 20-30 minutes, and browsed online and taptalk the rest of the time. Display settings are very low at 20%.

You aren't supposed to run SetCPU with CM7. Use the built in OC function and/or install an OC kernel.

So, how would you set your low value (i.e. at 300) without SetCPU? I don't recall the default CM7 settings having this option (just the high OC).

CM7 allows you to set Min/Max CPU Frequency as well as governor from within its own menus.
Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Performance -> CPU settings.

The fix isn't in the stable or any of the nightlies yet. The most recent nightlies have a different fix, which prevents the speaker from running constantly, so the battery life will be better than it used to be, but nowhere near as good as you would get with real deep sleep.
The real deep-sleep fix is in the CM7.1-RC0-beta3.1 build. Its still a beta, and a few people have had some glitches, but it is running fine for me. And my nook now has the kind of battery life it had on rooted stock (before being unable to prevent an auto-update nudged me to CM7).

you can run setcpu actually. the thing you can't do is run profiles on pre-beta kernels with setcpu.
set your minimum to 300mhz no matter what you use.. anything else is overkill that will result in battery kill..
in addition phone, mms, and telephoney apks have been proven repeatedly to have no impact on battery.
occasionally after flashing a new rom, recalibrateing your battery stats will do wonders.. ie. charge to 100% go into CW and reset battery stats, let it drain to below 10% then charge back to 100%. This is true of most Android devices.
The new beta build and kernels have improved battery a ton, they say these fixes will be incorporated to nightlys then stable CM7 eventually.

[Q][PORT][REQ] To Expert DEVS, Please..

first, i am sorry for requesting the expert devs or anyone else, to port this Kernel.. as this is a very battery friendly kernel in my galaxy ace.
this kernel is actually done for the Nexus S, but i see no more development in Nexus S section.. or the expert devs can please make a kernel that focused in battery life ? thanks before..

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 ?

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.

Nexus 4 SCREEN ON TIME *NEXUS 4 ONLY*

This will HOPEFULLY be the new and improved nexus 4 SCREEN ON TIME
(this is my first new post, i hope im doing it correctly :fingers-crossed:
i will be adding some rules and guidelines to this as well
****************************************************************RULES****************************************************************
- post screen on time and overall battery
- post kernel/rom used also frequencies/governors/voltages, etc
- ONLY NEXUS 4 SCREENSHOTS, ive seen other post with 6+ hours screen on which is nearly impossible in my opinion (unless u dont do anything but leave screen on and not do anything
- and please post any additional information you feel is needed to show what improved your screen on time, such as battery improving apps, or leaving data off, or just using wifi, etc ANYTHING YOU FEEL LIKE IT HELPED YOU, ADD IT IN YOUR POST
- this will aslo cut down a lot of questions from people constantly asking for kernel and rom combo.
so for example these screenshots ive attached
I use Franco Kernel 121 with Paranoid Android
I Leave data off ALWAYS when not using it, when i do have it on i have good reception for the most part.
I also used greenify, first time ever using it.
Undervolted via franco kernel 100 mV
normal daily apps are, appy geek, xda, and maybe some super hexagon here and there or some minor web browsing

Nice results.. but i cant do test..

Is my phone special or something? I was getting 6+ hours of screen time on stock...
It's probably due to how I use it though (only texting/facebook/email/chat apps/flipboard/reddit...ie: no games/video)
Anyways I don't usually let it drain dry but I did for the purpose of seeing how long it would take (screenshots included). I'm running stock 4.2.2 with Matr1x 10.0 GPU-OC kernel with 75mV downvolt, CPU max at 1ghz and homebrew tuned interactive governor. The screen is almost always at 25%ish brightness unless I'm outside under direct sunlight when I need to max it (happened for about 20minutes durring this cycle) and also didn't have access to WiFi for most of this cycle so it was off for most of the time (plus a few other small tweaks).
2% remaining juice: 19:33:11 cycle with 13:11:31 of light use screen time

Neither, the secret is in the governor and lack of WiFi/GPS use. Basically using the Matr1x kernel with the minimum clock at 192mhz (undervolted to 675mV) with a standard interactive governor with the only exception being the CPU is locked down to 2 cores and max clock of 540mhz (750mV) or single core at 1026mhz (875mV) depending on the number of threads, unless the GPU goes above 35% use for long enough at which point all 4 cores become accessible but limited at 1026mhz.
Yes it's not the smoothest experience but still very livable and on par with a Galaxy Nexus, games still run great (faster than stock due to lack of thermald and with the GPU OCed to 487mhz) but gaming/video does kill the battery several folds faster.
Basically with this setup the only real power drain is the screen itself as the internals use barely more than in screen off/deep sleep modes under what is "normal" use to me. Thus why the screen by itself accounts to 88% of the total drain. I recon I could probably get about 6-8 hours of back to back YouTube videos or Temple Run 2 on this governor but I can't say for certain as its very rare for me to game or even watch videos on my phone.

Thanks for the explanation! I've tried undervolting on Samsung devices without success, they always crash, so I never bothered on the N4. UV on N4 now seems to work fine. When/if my N4 lasts for 2-3 days (a la Note II) it will be screenshot worthy.

Hmm something isn't sitting right with me. You see I've seen something similar happen within Android. The OS doesn't reset battery stats unless a complete charge(100%) is completed, if the user unplugs and does a partial charge their previous battery stats are sustained for the time being.
Now I'm not saying tc did this, but it's just a feeling of mine.

True but if that was the case the graph wouldn't be a constant downward slope and would go back up, also on the first screenshot you would see when it was charging at the bottom.

This is definitely cheating. Those grapghs show clearly that you just let the phone with the screen on above half the time, without even touching it. On the half of the graph I can see you used that Reader app and then you let the phone alone again.

SetCPU

Anyone using SetCPU to throttle the device and get tolerable battery life?

I wish. Not on Verizon!

Bump!!

I just started using trickster mod and set max frequency to about 2.0GHz. The battery life has increased with no lag. On Lollipop.

SetCPU caused major lag for me personally.. I switched to trickstermod and all seems fine so far

I'm using No Frills, working great across 422MHz - 1GHz ( hardcore testing )

I have never noticed any battery improvement from underclocking, and correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the general consensus (among those actually informed) was that it doesn't actually help because it causes the processor to take longer to complete tasks, canceling out any actual gains.

I mean, I average around 6-7hrs SOT on mine (still on 4.4.4) depending on what I'm doing. Everybody's usage patterns are different, which is why I don't trust SOT screen shots. Plus, there is nothing in your second screenshot that shows any actual usage. You have screen, cell standby, wifi, android system... I'm not seeing any apps in there which leads me to believe that isn't a heavy usage scenario for you.
And again, I have underclocked before with many, many devices and haven't seen any actual gains. Also, I have yet to see any actual empirical evidence that shows underclocking helps. Couple that with the fact that many people who are well versed in this stuff (including the CyanogenMod team) have come forward and said that any gains from underclocking are placebo due to the reason I stated before, and I am HIGHLY skeptical.

The reason there's no specific apps you see is because I did what you do in a typical battery test, gaming a bit, reading ,browsing and all the others... So the individual. consumption is well b below 5%.. But yeah even without underclocking i have gotten even 5.5hours which is not bad at all

You can be sceptical because you should be, the cpu throttles already and only uses max speed when needed. With light usage like me (WhatsApp, telegram, 20m phone calls and some mails a day) I get 4 days on 4g and wifi. (I turn my phone on flight mode during the night) I've also disabled moto application (voice is useless in Dutch/not working) The biggest energy consumer is the screen so change your wallpaper to a dark one and close unused background apps (moto voice, google now, virus scanner and all other useless apps. If you use all the social media out there on your phone, no battery capacity is sufficient. I could limit my max cpu speed because the cpu governor probably throttles to max even when launching undemanding apps, but I would probably won't notice any savings.

[OP5] Battery life Thread

Let's make this the official battery life thread for the Oneplus 5, enjoy :good:

OnePlus 5 Battery Life Thread
Hi all,
I figure it would be useful to get a battery life thread going so we can see what type of performance we can get and also understand how people might be improving their battery performance.
I haven't done one full battery drain yet as I only got the phone yesterday. I will be doing that on this cycle to see how it performs. For reference I am at 90% after about 7 ½ hours having put down at 100% and not on the charger when I slept. I had 2% battery drain over night (slept maybe 6 ½ hours) and have 54 minutes SOT (light usage, just messaging, Twitter, slack, chrome etc) with the remaining 8%. I'm not sure how OP phones battery life reduce, I know LG always has a strong first 10% and then rapidly drops off for example.
In terms of setup, I am rooted and using Doze Settings Editor (GeraldRudi preset), Naptime, Leandroid (but I need to figure out if this is actually working). I am also using dark themes were possible as these are better for AMOLED screens. I've also tweaked kernel in EXKM but nothing major that would positively impact battery.

Just to follow up, I have completed my first full cycle and can report that I got just over 6 hours of SOT over about 33 hours.
I had a bit of Bluetooth and GPS but I do keep the screen brightness as low as possible which really does help battery life as well.
I have also included CPU frequencies for reference, I haven't made any governor tweaks but that would be something to look at or maybe wait for custom kernels which I'm sure would have different governors including EAS based ones.

Yeah I definitely think so. There has been a trend in recent years of reducing battery life IMO. I had easily 8 hours of SOT over two full days on my HTC One M8 when I first got it and each year it's just gotten worse to the point now where 6 hours is considered great but I'm not complaining, I will take that over other phones barely managing 4 to 5 hours SOT.
Very excited to see how far this phone can be optimised on battery life with custom ROMs and Kernels. Good days ahead
Make sure to post your results when you complete a full charge and what you've done battery savingwise to achieve that

The battery life in mine is awesome. 21 hours, on 4g/WiFi and 4:30 hours SOT on half battery.
Probably will last me more than 2 days with normal usage

I can get around 8 hours SOT with medium use and brightness set to low. I am mostly indoors and I am impressed. With the same usage on my OPO I got 3.5 hours SOT.

ElementalX and 4.5.2 is out and coming out very shortly so the game will change again battery life wise. There will be different kernels that will help or hinder battery life depending on how much they are geared that way or towards performance.

Awesome. The OP5 definitely looks like a good phone for battery life as we can run the phone pretty hard and still get decent SOT

Yes this is my normal usage. Probably its that good cause i dont use insta, facebook etc. Maybe i will install the instagram app and look a bit around.
Im just waiting for official TWRP to root and tweak the whole phone. It can even be better.

Pretty good battery life today

I would like to see LTE only

My first charge was data only. I've had a couple of issues with stand by drain but I think that has been sorted now (back down to 2-3% drain over night) so should be able to get another decent reading today.
I am however now on freedomOS and ElementalX so things are changing up and I can see there is another OTA fix on the way.bit hard in the early weeks to get through a full day without something changing!!

I have never been more pleased, I might just get 8-9 hrs of SoT

This too

I like what I see .
Pg, pls also post also when you're using data (if you're using)
