Hey guys. I know there are numerous threads about setcpu but there isn't one specifically for different settings people are running on their phone.
This is to help others have an idea of how to prolong their battery daily...
Here is mine..
Rom: cm6 froyo
Kernel: cm6 snap 3
Launcher: adw
Setcpu...
1. Charging/full - 998/245
2. Screen off - 245/245
3. Battery < 70% - 883/245
4. Battery < 50% - 768/245
5. Battery < 25% - 537/245
6. Temp > 50° - 576/245
1. Ondemand
2-5. Powersave
6. Conservative
I'm down to 40% after 12 hours of usage... Texting, browsing, emails, and an hour of slingbox!
Lets see what others are using and their settings.

do you overclock it under the charging profile? because you have that listed at 769max.
do you find the min 128 for your screen off profile to lag trying to turn the screen back on?
I have no powersave. Only userspace,ondemand,performance options.
^ same i think that is only an option in froyo?

What's the idea for changing sampling rate and threshold? I would like to know if that helps with the performance and battery life.

Sampling Rate is akin to reaction time to change, judged in microseconds. Up threshold is the load point at which the processor increases it's speed from min to max. (I know, I know, it's a lot more technical but for simplicity's sake).
Setting sampling and up threshold low means that at the slightest increase in load, the processor will try to increase its speed. This is helpful with performance, but may impact battery life as the chance of you running at higher speed is greater.
________
Battery life at 1.344Ghz isn't that bad, as 1.267, 1.305, and 1.344 all run at the max of 1350mv (which so far is the max that the Snapdragon can handle). So, at my current settings (with my standard battery), I get probably 3.5 hours of non-stop use, and maybe 24 hours of standby if I'm lucky. But...I've got some pretty sweet Quadrant and Neocore scores.

What good is underclocking at power levels that are greater than 15%? I like to use my phone as a SMARTPHONE as long as I can... 1115 mhz peak for ALL except screen off and under 15%.... when its plugged in (either charging or charged) I bump the minimum speed up to 512 or 768... Everything is real smooth!
I still get a full 8 hour day of Shoutcast streaming at work with those setting (along with texting, facebook, twitter, etc.)
I'm using the EViO Series Rom. I have been unplugged since 330am. I'm going on 10 hours of being unplugged and still I got 61% battery left and according to my "Battery Left Widget" that breaks down to about 10hrs and 46 minutes left. which totals to be somewhere between 19-21 hours of battery total since i unplugged my phone at 330am.
My SetCpu settings are:
1152000/245760
charging AC/FULL 998/537
CHARGING USB/FULL 998/537
BATERRY <50 883/245
TEMP > 50 652/245
BATTERY < 25 499/245
SCREEN OFF 384/245
i just loaded this up because it seemed that my Fresh ROM was a battery killer, not sure that it was the ROM, but whatever the combination i had going, i could only get about 5 hours per charge. What kernel are you using and what are you usage amount and battery life for these settings?

I just installed the rom and that was it...plus my apps from titanium backup. I think the rom have the Netarchy Kernalalready built into it. Here is the link:

I am somewhat a heavy user...I stream Pandora, check the net almost constantly, check emails, text messaging a lot, check FB & Twitter and a call every now and then.
Just to give you an idea..from the last time I posted which was at 1220...my battery is now at 52% and the "battery Widget" says I have 9hrs and 44mins left of battery usage.

I also like to USE my phone, hence wanting my battery to last as long as possible. I use 1.15 from 50% - 100% then I switch back to the stock speeds to start to conserve power. I found for me I am usually flashing something (also meaning indirectly charging) or fooling around before I even get to 50%. So 90% of the time I am always at 1.15. That being said the times my battery has gotten < 30% and I was at 768. I didn't notice as large of a difference as you'd think unless I was playing a 3D game. *shrug* it's all personal preference. I have a full SMARTPHONE experience and utilize my phone to its fullest.....
With Fresh 1.0.1 and netarchy 3.7.3c, in order of priority:
Screen off: 245/245
Charging/Full: 768/1152
Battery < 25%: 245/768
Battery < 100%: 576/998
Just set those, we'll see how they work. I read it was a bad idea to set mins lower than 245, so I'm playing it safe there. I never really noticed problems with having 245 mins across the board, but I'm giving it a bump for normal < 100% usage. My screen is off most of the time anyway.
I use my phone constantly as well so I'm trying to find a good medium for battery and performance. I'm gonna try to scale mine to 1.1 until the 75% mark and see how that goes.
Running a custom rom plus a custom kernel does help for me so far.

Mines going at 200 mhz to 1000 mhz, on demand governor, and a powersave bias of 20%. No profiles. Why? Because to implement the profiles setcpu has to remain in memory. It does not feel slow at all and I'm getting terrific battery life.

Well the scaling governor is on the main page, right under the minimum frequency slider. You are only half right on the powersave bias: 20 would be 2%. So to do 20%, you need 200. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Questions:
Did you notice battery drain with setcpu in memory?
How is the battery temp?
Does the powersave bias mean that you will never scale to the peak value?
Had the phone off the charger since 11am.
Moderate call usage
Heavy texting
Moderate internet usage
Music for roughly 3hours straight
Wireless tethering on Xbox live for roughly an hour
At 9:15pm I have exactly 40% with my profiles from my post above

245 min, 768 max
So its a bit after 1am and just over 14hrs after a full charge. While using my profiles and info as posted in my above 2 posts along with 2hrs of GPS usage, light phone call usage, and heavy internet usage my phone finally died 14hrs later with the Gov module on conservative with posted profiles and OC'd at 1459.
Although abought 10min prior to it dieing I did attempt to submit this post from the phone but near the end of the post it froze up, showed the desktop and my battery notification showed 0% and the phone then rebooted itself but I got a bootloop on the "g2" screen and had to pull the battery to fix it.
After 10% battery level I was experiencing lagging and slowness while online so I'm assuming because of my profile setting of 245/245 at that battery level and what probably caused my bootloop.
*Edit: I must say I'm pretty impressed. I had my Nexus one alot more heavily modified than my g2 and only OC'd to 1113 with similar daily usage and I would have to charge it one time at some point during the day to last me throughout the night.

Okay, so I got my G2 about two weeks ago, and have been running set CPU with these settings since then.

Charging AC/Full: 1478/245 Priority 50
On light use I've gotten almost two days, by light use I mean only a few phone calls or text messages and data turned off. On Normal use I've been averaging around 16 hours, and on heavy use I've been getting around 10 hours. Pretty good battery life, I'm pleased with it being my first Android phone, was a black berry user before this.
I have SetCPU set with all of these profiles, other then charging profiles and it seems that the "Screen Off" profile isn't working. I have it set to 245/245 and it still seems to be at 1497/245 because the battery gets hot and drains very fast (about 8 hours with literally zero use). It shows idle Cell Standby and Phone Idle taking up most of the battery (a combined total of about 85%) anyone know why it wouldn't be working properly?
SetCPU has SU permissions and profiles are enabled... Anything else?
Is SetCPU a lot better then the free CPU tuner? I know it's only 1.99, but I'm feeling cheap at the moment.

HI guys,
I wanted to share with you what i have done on my phone, i got over 50 hrs of battery life on it.
Now i did not have a lot of phone calls these 2 days, but i did have one phone call that lasted almost an hour.
I also surfed the web, and downloaded a few apps under this battery as well.
its showing 2 days 2 h 30 m and i still had 4 percent left.
Honestly I do not know if this is good or not, but iv seen where people are happy with 20+ hours so this should be in the zone of goodness.
my setup
Burnt Droid lasted build.
setcpu- underclock only, no overclock,
juice- purchased the ultimate, so at night it kills everything but phone.
here is this pic

I get great battery life (70-80* hours from full charge to dead *This battery life was directly after a wipe of the battery stats. After a few weeks of regular use I'm seeing about 60-70 hours of life (full charge > dead) with these settings:
ROM: SkyRaider 3.5
Kernel: Incredikernel
I'll echo another member's post. Turn things off that you aren't using (i.e. 3g, wifi). I will only turn these things on when in use (checking email, surfing web, etc). Along with 3g, and wifi, your screen brightness is a huge battery killer. I have mine set around 20%.
Another thing I found to help is having SetCPU profiles set. Here are my settings:
main: 1075 max, 245 min. ondemand (set on boot checked)
screen off: 245 max, 128 min. priority 100
Temp>39 C: 245 max, 128 min. priority 99
Charging/Full: 1075 max, 245 min. priority 98
Battery < 20% 883 max, 245 min priority 97
Battery < 40% 998 max, 245 min priority 96
The above settings give me outstanding performance while the phone is in use, and really help to save battery power when not in use.
Dang. Impressive! That's for sure. I don't like the idea of underclocking much though. How was performance? Everything running smoothly?

Runs beautifully. I'll even run pandora with the screen off (245 max) without hiccups.
I understand there are numerous posts in various forums regarding under volting however, none of them relate to the Atrix!
The idea of this thread is to gather enough data that can enable us regular users of the Atrix, to safely and effectively undervolt our CPU's to enable maximum battery life.
I was wondering if you guys and gals would be willing to post what is working for you. I simply lowered mine -75mV for all frequencies on the list in SetCPU and it seems to have given me an extra boost in battery life by about one to two hours.
If you don't have the latest version of SetCPU: buy it off the market or search the forums for it and download it off here.
There's a thread in general from a week ago with some comments on undervolting. Also, in Faux's OC kernel thread there's quite a few posts later on (after he updated it to enable undervolting) with people posting their undervolting tests/settings.
As for me, I just put -50 for all and it's been stable.
People aren't going to waste time searching through the aforementioned posts or threads you've listed. I simply want it easier for people to click on one thread with the specific purpose of undervolting.

Understood, but faux's kernel is thread is pretty active. Also , as obviously see yourself, the other Undervolting thread (which had the same purpose as this one) has already dropped off the radar (aka out of the first page) which will very likely be the same fate as this thread unless you're bumping it yourself every couple hours or it picks up steam. IMO it would have been easier build on the original undervolting thread so there's more info in a singular thread to build momentum on and keep it near the top.

I find it hard to believe that your phone is stable at those undervoltage settings but if that is the case (no random reboots) that's pretty impressive.

I'm betting typo...
You can manually make every frequency to -500 or some other crazy settings, and sometimes it will crash and sometimes not. The thing is, the Tegra2 chip only recognizes and performs less than 100mHz change in-between each step/frequency. So is the different between 2 frequencies is greater than 100, it will still only recognize and use only 100mHz. So even if you are able to set every frequency ridiculously low, the chip is not running at those voltages. Read more about this on Faux123's Kernel thread to understand it fully, I'm just regurgitating it. Hope this helps.
I think I have the newest version of set cpu 2.2.4 and I can't find the volt tab am I missing something is there a setting option I need to enable? I was using faux's kernel with ninja rom

isn't there an issue with faux kernel right now where if you go past -100 it still does -100 not that value you've input (i.e. if you put in -500 its still actually doing -100)
i've been running the following setup, on my second day without charging (only moderate use, gaming for about 45 minutes to an hour and a half plus using my phone as internet browser multiple times throughout the day, 5-6 widgets total. sitting at 18% left, and i'm on hour 30 something)
now, keep in mind this is also using the battery calibration app, ninja speed freak and faux's oc kernel.
-25
-30
-30
-50
-100

i've been averaging around 3000-3200 quadrants in the quadrant standard benchmark test, so needless to say i'm extremely satisfied with my settings.
also have custom profiles set up, if my screen is off i run at 608mhz max, 216 min. charging gets 1100 max 216 min, incall gets 216 max 216 min, battery less than 15% gets 608 max 216 min and battery<10% gets 456 max, 216 min.

Been using these settings for 3 days and I can honestly say they're fantastic. I was getting 11-18 hours out of my Atrix with other ROM/Kernel/CPU settings; with this setup I get 30-40hours. Simply fantastic.
I'm a fairly light user, but I keep data/wifi on at all times (even screen off) syncing 3 exchange accounts (push); make about 10 mins of phone call in a day; surf slashdot/xda/engadget/etc once every hour or two; and watch 5-30mins of flash vids a day.
Only thing to note is that I had to adjust the UV on the lowest setting to -125 to avoid intermittent loss of WiFi connectivity.

Are these voltage settings going from 1100MHz (-25) to 216Mhz (-150)?

Correct from highest to lowest, starting at 1100mhz.
Also, I may have just extended the battery life to 48~ hours last night by using these settings and using a combination of autostarts to stop non-essential processes from starting and titanium backup to freeze non-essential processes that seemed to start anyway.
Also note; when setting up the profiles in setCPU, make sure you get the priorities right; otherwise they can be fairly ineffective.

I have been tweaking my G2 ever since I got it and it seems I found a pretty good configuration that gives me awesome battery life of 30 hours on medium light use and stock battery. Now I wonder if I can make it any better.
Ill post my configuration and hope that other will do the same to see if we can squeeze more battery life out of our phones!

Pershoots kernel is the ultimate secret. And not to OC past 1.2 cause there is no noticeable difference once you go past that point.

For me it's called rmk40's virtuous g-lite v1.0.2. lol I regularly get 2~ish days without any special tweaking.
xsteven77x is right too, pershoot's kernel is by far the most efficient and nothing above 1.2 Ghz as the voltage requirements increase a lot i believe.
the secret to great battery life: don't use your phone.

If you are using pershoot's kernal, what governer are you setting it to to max battery life? On demand?
Thanks
ill give pershoot a try

His only has on demand, performance, and user space (which I don't even know what that one does). I leave it on demand because performance keeps the CPU ramped up too often for good battery life with no noticeable improvement in actual performance lol.

Pershoot impressions @250min 1010max:
1) The ondemand has obviously been tweaked by pershoot to be VERY favourable to the 250mhz. This unfortunately makes the phone just very slight make a stutter step before ramping up to do a CPU intensive task.
2) The kernel is great when the phone is not regularily used, but seems to draw more power than Streamline5 when something is actually running but not requiring full CPU time as Streamline does provide other governors.
3) The kernel seems to take its time going into "deep sleep" 1 2 day uptime and only 17 hours of deep sleep.
Will continue the testing but seem like if you use the phone in a "medium light" usage, Streamline seems to be the better choice.
UPDATE: I am sitting at 64% @ 9h with pershoot...
im using a power sucking rom, virtuous unity. i just set my phone up so it will at least last a day with a little bit of battery left over. Here are my settings
Wake min: 245mhz Wake max: 1516mhz Governer:Ondemand
Sleep min: 245mhz sleep max: 356mhz Governer: conservative
also use juice defender with advanced settings and a auto memory killer with system tweaks for optimal battery life. i get about 12 to 13 hours.

i noticed you are with rogers as i am too, try "3g only" i had similar setup on a sense rom before and can get a few more hours out of it
i remember with sense i was getting 18 hours max. with the same usage outlined in op

How do you set 3g only? If i set gsm only in settings, i only get edge networks

in sense roms, two ways, gsm = 2g that explains why you only get 2g. 3g is wcdma
1) dailer -> *#*#4636#*#* -> phone info -> scroll to btm -> WCDMA ONLY -> reboot
2) menu-> settings -> mobile network settings -> network type selection -> 3g only
seems like i found another way to squeeze more battery life out, i extracted the virtuous rom's o/c daemon and uninstalled setcpu. will report with more data but so far everything is working better than setcpu (might be placebo effect)
I update the new radio 26.10.04.12
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
and matched rils
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16489050&postcount=807
and extracted from virtuous unity the performance tweak script for memory from /system/etc/init.d/10-virtuous_performance and the virtuous_oc from /system/xbin
went back to streamline 5 and install daemon tweaker
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16015003&postcount=43194
RESULT = 40 hours of battery! (same usage as first post of not more)
I don't know what's wrong with my battery...
I use CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC1 with cpu OnDemand 245-1209 MhZ, just a few widgets (tajm, battstatt, desktop visualizer), no wlan and average usage. With this setup some people reported they got a battery life of 16-18 hours. I have to charge after 8 hours...with a brand new stock battery :/

In your screenshot, "Display" shows as only 1%. In my experience, unless you never actually turn on the screen, the display will tend to be the biggest power consumer. What brightness level do you have it set to? Can you please tap on "Display" and post a screenshot of that? I want to see how long your screen has been on during those 28 hours.
Even at the dimmest setting, an idle CPU @ 245 MHz, and in airplane mode, my phone draws 90 mA. About 60 mA of that is the display and G sensor. At full brightness, the phone draws a total of 220 mA, or 190 mA for the display.
On a stock 1300 mAh battery, 16% remaining is 208 mAh, meaning 1092 mAh has been consumed. 1% of that is about 11 mAh. At minimum brightness, that will run the display for 11 minutes (11 mAh / 60 mA = 0.183 h). At maximum brightness, only 3.5 minutes.
It looks like you had the display on for at least 90 minutes (only nav, gaming, browser), which means your display is only drawing about 7.3 mA, which I do not believe is possible, given the LCD panel in the DZ. That works out to only 27 mW (at 3.7 volts), which is roughly one-tenth the power draw of similar displays where I could find the specs.
So are you just leaving the screen turned off the whole time?
Longest time off charger for me is 2 days and 7 hours. My secret? MIUI with 1800mAh battery. 'Nuff said.
How long battery life do the people with those giant 3600mah batterys have? Just wonderin

Pershoot sounds intresting.
How can I backup my current kernel just in case? NAND backup?

most battery life brags come from people who dont really use their phones...
ill see if i can get actual screen on time. The point is not to brag rather to find the best config when people actually use their phones. That said 16 hours i was sleeping...
So, I futzed around with NStools, and setCPU, trying to find the ultimate governor combination.
With ondemand, no matter what my max clock was, I always had lag, because while it did scale fast, it sampled too slow, even at the lowest allowed.
A big issue was that governors would scale to high clocks, but took too long before it decided to scale up.
I noticed that smartassV2 was willing to scale at smaller intervals, but was WAY too jumpy for going up... after all, why have unused clock cycles. If you're at 75%, and you jump up a notch, you'll be at like 50-60%.
I came to an idea.
I originally tried init.d script to do this, but for some reason on swagged out stock, init.d scripts aren't working for me. Note, I stripped a lot of components from swagged out stock using titanium backup, or just simple uninstalls. It is SOS N running aggressive lionfish 1.8. The stripping of components lowered my memory usage significantly.
I took setCPU, set max to 998mhz, and min to 128mhz, set on smartassv2 with no profiles.
I took NStools, set as follows
scheduler to SIO
cpu to smartassv2
min freq 128
max freq 998
awake ideal freq, sleep ideal freq, and sleep awake freq to 100,000hz,
min cpu load to 85%
max cpu load to 100%
ramp down step to 38400hz
ramp up step to 38400hz
down rate to 10000
upr rate to 10000
Before I did this, I've never experienced this level of smoothness. The real kicker is what setCPU says my "time spent in" is
I wiped my battery stats last night, and let it run down till 10%
I'm at 97.98% of my time spent in 128mhz after over 24 hours, yet it feels perfectly smooth when I play with it. I think part of this is the fast sampling response time of Smartassv2, and also the fact that my rom is running light.
It clocks up, does what it needs to do, and rapidly clocks back down.
How are you guys doing on that chart?
If your phone spent 97.98 % of 24 hours on 128 mhz is not really good. When you don't use the phone, it should go into deep sleep. Download cpu spy from the playstore. If your phone doesn't go into deep sleep, it means you have wakelock issue.
Sent from my lair.
SetCPU was reporting some of the time as 128mhz when it was actually deep sleep.
I checked out CPUspy, and it reads at 51% 128mhz, and 43% deep sleep, with 1036 to 1228 unused, and 62:45:58 of recorded data time.
Out of that, 32:30:15 was in 128, 27:25:01 was in deep sleep, while most of the rest was between 245 and 449, with 00:26:28 on max speed
Does this mean something is waking me out of the 128hz range, while its asleep, and I need to figure it out? I read something about gtalk with video having a wakelock issue, and I have that.
