Hey guys, recently s-offd and root and had a question about cpu clock speeds. How would i set my cpu to use less power when in standby and more power when turned on? Thus saving battery a bit haha......i swear i read someone who posted this method but cant remember where i saw and read it

I think that SetCPU does this, even if you're not overclocking. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes indeed you can use setcpu on a stock kernel, to underclock. But using a custom kernel will usually give more frequencies to choose in-between the highest and lowest.

Root is needed though remember.

Thanks will try setcpu now

Will this allow underclock when screens off during standy? And then return to normal state when phone is being used???

I need a setting for my Mytouch 4G with the best battery life, can anyone help me out here?! Thanks in advance plus i can't go lower then 245MHz cause the phone obviously starts freezing....
Not all phones are the same..my best battery life is on fauxs latest gingerbread kernel..using the smartass governor

baller1 alot of things depends as it's not single factor. First the biggest battery consumption on our device comes from the screen so change the blacklight to lowest possible. The second is service/process which runs this would actually depend user to user and based on that your own SetCPU settings. If you have alot of service you never use then disable it on startup and from restarting. Also cut down on media intensive stuffs like widget and live wallpaper or other elements that's always updating. The last one is network bases which would depend on the overall network quality and type of service your connected to in this case find the best radio that works for you first and then depending on your setup push data on given interval. If you stay connected you use more power.
Find a nice rom for example CM7NB and use cfs-lv kernel from faux and let the gov in setcpu be smartass and scale the max/min frequency be 245mhz-768mhz and you can run it with no problem. If you need more power for something then just add next one in setcpu. Also you may want to setup a profile for idle/screen-off mode and set it to ondemand 245-368mhz.

I'm on RoyalGinger 2.0 with the latest kernel that faux had for stock voltage.

you can set a profiles up that change how much power u want, you can make 1 when you shut the screen off and its in stand by and another 1 when you turn the screen on...i do that and it helps alot.
Pm me and ill send you my profiles I use, you'll just have to open setcpu and import them

Im running CM7 with HighLeakage Glitch kernel.
When I'm plugged in to the charger, and Overclocked to 1.4GHz, my phone gets very hot. Should I lower the volts or the frequency?
And overclocking, if done right, wont damage the hardware? Like if their was not alot of heat?
Could I run 1.4ghz without so much heat? I have undervolted it -50mV volts.
Is it the high leakage?
What should I do?
Any input would be appreciated.

My phone runs really hot when using I heart radio and charging it at the same time...i'm also clocked to 1.4...since you are running overclock anything is possible but Samsung put code in their latest release for 1200mhz so I would say that is safe...also high leakage does emit the most heat since it is the least efficient..try running medium and low with the same overclock...it may help with heat

Yea your right. Low didn't work also. So I'm just going to stick with high.

its too late this time, but remember that you can use the command 'reboot recovery' in adb to avoid having to do a full odin in most cases. I made a guide about getting adb up and running for noobs. You can find it in my created thread history.

there should be an entire explanation on what the different leakages mean. it'd be nice to read rather than guessing

Just a heads up, if you ask in our threads, then a developer can actually answer your question, as opposed to the users trying to help you. Especially since this is the third thread you've started with questions like this, almost all of which are answerable in my thread.

Hi all,
I am using a rooted n7.
I have over clocked my galaxy s2 to 1.5ghz before, but I am not sure what is a safe level to over clock the n7 to.
What is a is is for battery life and performance?
And which kernel do u guys recommend
?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

I run trinity kernel on my Gnex and N7 and on my N7 I keep it stock speeds because I've seen no reason to realistically OC it. Most of the improvements I see are from the kernel software changes over stock. You can OC to 1.6 safely but I'm not sure of the power usage difference but I'm pretty sure the loss in power isn't worth the gain from OCing.

I have mine at 1.6 just for the hell of it, I get a good 4 or 5 hours of continuous usage out of it.

For the benefit of the community, can you tell us any major changes at 1.6 GHz?
Is there anything noticeably faster?
Hi, I have a related question but can't post since I'm new.
Using the glazed rom which i like but it apparently has gpu overclock. I would like to know how to adjust that back to stock setting or at least see what it currently is. I found the CPU section but there is no gpu I can see.
Is there a tool I can use?
Sorry for the hijack...at least its sort of on topic
IMO over clocking is a gimmick, its the kernel build

My thoughts exactly. I play some light games and web browse on my Nexus 7.
For those purposes, my Nexus 7 is already extremely fast, so I don't think I would be able to notice if it was over clocked.
But I guess it depends, maybe there's a big difference when running GPU heavy games.
I have OC mine upto 1640 MHz for bench marking alone for half and hour or probably more and it went fine although the tablet was getting warmer more than usual.

Hi,
I decided to flash trinity kernel.
I am currently OC to 1.5yghz, is that a safe level to keep it at full time? Or can that burn the cpu out?
Thanks again
Cheers
Corey
Edit,
I over clocked my galaxy s2 ages ago, and I noticed a huge difference in performance.
So that is why I want to over clock my n7 too lol

there is no such thing as a safe overclock. overclocking, by nature, carries some risk. that said, i havent seen anyone brick their device from overclocking.

Just wondering
Why do you feel the need to OC?
I go to 1.6 but use the Trinity App to go back to stock when OC not needed
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I have not over clocked the Nexus 7 yet but one way to test your devices max is to use setcpu. Make sure you do not have "set on boot" option selected. Then step up your cpu. If your cpu can not handle the over clock it will force restart. If you do not have the set at boot selected it will revert back to the last good state on restart.
Each device is different on what it can handle for over clock.

To be honest I doubt you'll notice much increase from oc the CPU since the CPU already is so powerful nothing pushes it to max really.
Only thing worth overclocking is GPU really. And at that, your not going to notice a difference unless your playing some intense games.
does over clocking the setcpu to high frequencies use more battery on mytouch 4G? I'm using the venom viper rom.
Sent from my HTC myTouch 4g using xda premium
Yes, If you keep it at 1200 it shouldn't be much of an issue.
My conclusion is you almost have to overclock the available sense kernels in order for them to work right.
so my max should be 1200 and what should be my min?
Sent from my HTC myTouch 4g using xda premium
1200 is just a real safe overclock value. You can try other values and see how your phone reacts. Would be nice if there was kernel that could be undervolted. But that just isn't the case.
Min value I would just leave set at 245 or 368. Again you can try other values and see how your phone reacts.
okay thank you for the advice
