Was wondering what type of profiles people got setup on setcpu for some good battery durations oc'ed.
I'm currently running at 1417MHZ and only profile I have setup is screen off. 275 / 275 conservative. Priority is at 100.

I'm running at 1305MHz.
Screen off 245min/245max
Temp > 38.2 C 245min/768max
Battery < 15% 245min/768max
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.

sorry im a newbie, how do you set the "on demand governor?" .and powersave bias, u get that from the advanced tab where it says "powersave bias (1-1000)" and just put 20?

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.

Oh alright. my sampling rate is 50000. up threshold 95. ignore nice load 0. and powersave bias 200. does that sound about right? or should i change somehthing else? Thanks for the help!
Got my profiles at:
Screen off 245/245 priority 100
Temp > 102F 245/768 priority 80
Battery < 10% 245/245 priority 70
Battery <15% 245/368 priority 65
Battery <25% 245/768 priority 60

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
what does 245/768 mean?
nvm i got it

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.
Main profile: 1478 max / 245 min
Screen Off: 245/245, Priority 100
Temp > 100.4 F: 368/245 Priority 97
Temp > 96.8 F: 768/245 Priority 95
Battery < 20%: 245/245 Priority: 82
Battery < 30%: 368/245 Priority: 81
Battery < 40%: 768/245 Priority: 80
Charging/Full: 1478/245 Priority 60
Charging USB/Full: 768/245 Priority 55
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.

you have to make sure the priority is at a higher level than all the others...like 100

need some help
my htc wont show any clock speeds past the 806mhz. ...any ideas? i tried to perflock disable and it says it is already..and in custom profiles it shows still only max up to 806
edt** read a custom kernal may be required...im on stock. thats probably why
had my phone charging of my usb on my laptop last night while i was texting a friend, when i noticed that the the Kick stand was getting warm so i checked the temp through my battery widget and found the temp to be 114.5* F I immediatly unplugged my phone and took my case off and the back off to let it cool. I was wondering if this is common or even a safe temp. My setup is as follows
Azrael X 3.1
Net's 2.3 more aggressive universal havs NO SBC
Amon RA 1.8
Max temp for the battery is 60C/140F. I have had temps in that range if I had the screen on for a long time or wifi tether. Around 50/55C though and I would worry.if you notice it often and overclock then I would lower the max cpu frequency.

Thanks for the response on this i'm not overclocked so i guess it was the screen being on to long. I will keep a close eye on it from here on out

You are definitely within safe limits on temperature. The only bad thing is the batteries capacity degrades quicker when at a high temperature, but you will probably replace the phone prior to actually realizing the degradation.
Its fine. Mines been a little higher. I don't like using my phone around those temperatures though.
Sent from my Evo using XDA app.
I've read 120 F as safe. So it's close.
General consensus is that using the phone while on USB tends to yield higher temps, but no one knows why.
I was wondering what some opinions are with how hot
The phone gets with overclocking and when to shut it
Down ? With playing around on the phone it gets to 107*
Fairly quickly depending on outside temperature . What's
A safe and not safe zone for temps ?

If my conversion is right thats 41.67 degrees Celsius.:eek Personally, I wouldnt be comfortable letting it get that hot.
I have a SetCPU profile that if my G2 reaches 38.2 degrees Celsius it underclocks it to 245 (max and min frequency, with performance governor). My G2 has never reached over 34 degrees Celsius though. My daily overclock is in my sig (1.5ghz).

CPU wise it's fine, other parts of the phone and your hand may not be. If it's too hot to hold it's too hot.
Just a note that temperature is the battery temperature and not the CPU temperature.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
I say keep it under 40 degrees Celsius and you're fine.
My phone has only once gotten that hot. I was running a game app on my phone for over an hour straight and I had a case on. Holding the phone in my hand only added to the heat. My temp profile kicked in and I let my phone chill for a while and it came back to normal.
I do not however underclock it to 245 Mhz. I take it down to normal clock speeds of 806 Mhz and that seems to work well for me.
if you dont care about how hot your phone gets or if your watching it ive takin mine up to 1.5 GHz
My nexus one used to reboot at high temperatures. First the screen would become unresponsive, then it would just reset. I think it started doing that when it got into the mid 40s.
So I was just playing homerun battle 3d for a couple of hours and noticed the back getting fairly warm.... Shut it down and looked at setcpu, 117.5F degrees or 38C!!! Hmm lol and its still running like a champ. Might need to set a temp. profile fo sho!

Your conversions are not that great. 40 degrees Celsius is 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
So was your phone at 117.5F or was it at 38C? It can't be both at the same time.
38C isn't bad. 117.5F is quite hot, however.
I'll run the 1.516 GHz OC until the battery gets to 100.4 F. Then I drop it down to 768 MHz. However, when the phone is below the max temp I have it set to 1516 max/256 min (I think it's 256 it might be something else, but I'm too lazy to check). So my phone only starts cooking when I'm running my PSX emulator or something fierce

LoL...my bad I meant 48C. And yes it was hot but the phone handled it. I enabled the temp profile back to clock 800 mhz when it hits 104F

Mine seems to never get over 25C (76F) but that's not overclocked
I recently over clocked my CPU to 1.1Ghz and under volted it. My battery gets hot around 40°C on normal use. Can it be the cause?
40 deg is normal..Though depends in the environment you use it..
Before I call up EE and ask for a replacement I would just like to check if these temps are normal and if anyone else can run the same test and check what there temp gets to on the Note 4.
Firstly my Note 4 idles at around 36 degrees C which is pretty normal from what I can see. When running the Epic Citadel Benchmark on max Quality the Temperature reached a very hot 77 degrees C before I decided to stop it and shut it down.
It also reaches temps above 70 degrees C in Grand Theft Auto Vice City aswell on max settings.
Could a couple of you guys with the Note 4 please download and run the Epic Citadel Benchmark.... and use the CpuTemp app to measure the CPU temp while its running. This app has an overlay feature so you can watch the temp while the benchmark is running and I would love to know what the max temperature is that it reaches during it so I know if my phone is normal or faulty.
I get a score of about 52fps but the temperature just seems to high to me even though my idle temp is normal.
it would be very much aprechiated thank you.
That sounds about right. I just downloaded it and ran the benchmark on High Performance and got 56.4 FPS avg and the temp was around 52 degrees (started at idle, which was about 35, 36 degrees). Actually it basically spent most of its time during the benchmark at 1.5 GHz and just over 50 degrees. Then I let it cool down a bit and ran it again on Ultra High Quality and got a 48.9 FPS avg and the temp was around 77-78 degrees, spiking to around 80, but even at 80 degrees it was still fully clocked at 2.7 GHz.
But at least for me I notice even when using a couple pop up windows to play a youtube video (music, static image) while browsing Facebook and having Messenger chat heads up that the phone heats up quite a bit, going towards and around 70 degrees the more FB posts I go down and I can see it mostly around 1.5 GHz but it's still stuttery. I use CPU temp and frequency in status bar from XPosed Framework so I did have to keep dragging the status bar down to check. I'm curious what the scrolling performance would be like using ART instead but I'd have to give up XPosed and I don't think I'm ready to do that yet.
