CM7 rc1 @ 245-1516 w/ Juice defender is what I'm running.

I make anywhere between 15-70 minutes worth of calls a day, so some days are better than others. Heavy Facebook, SMS messages, XDA, Engadget, etc. Consistently getting 15 hours of battery and my best to date is 1 day 9 hours 5 minutes on a single charge...

I like Sense though, hence sticking w/ Ice Glacier. There is zero lag and Sense does not slow this phone down at all.

@jlacy can you put that in terms of real time usage please?

My best combination so far is CM7 RC1 with the Smartass kernel from Faux123. Governor set to Smartass...
I usually get over 24 hours with moderate usage everyday!
If you check the attached picture, you'll see that I got like 1 day and a few hours on that charge! Then I was learning how to take a snapshot of the screen and the phone was charging in the mean time...
but after that 1 day and 4 hours or so, I still had around 29-30% battery left...

how did you take that snapshot of your screen?

Yeah, I'm a big fan of "lean and mean" so I use Screen Shot a lot (by GikSoft). If there was an icon in the Notif area for ShootMe, it looks like it's gone now; and I don't see an option to enable/disable it in ShootMe.
Someone might laugh at it, but I went ahead and started a "How To Take A Screenshot" thread for our forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972298​
It's such a simple thing to do, but so many people ask how to do it. I figured a separate thread would help keep other threads from filling up.

Is there any advantage to setting it to underclock to 368 instead of 245? I would think setting it to 245 would conserve even more battery life...?

No disadvantage other than when the CPU ramps back up from the screen being off. I just wait about 1 second before unlocking my screen, but I'm a little OCD about my device performing as smooth as glass. Even though I know WHY it's a little slow when ramping back up, I just don't like to "feel" it go slowly.
I've been watching Faux's thread and I really dig what he's doing, how transparent he's being, etc. The performance coming from screen-off to screen-on is supposed to be a smoother with that kernel and what he's done to it.
I love my ROM and the way my device performs, so I sort of don't want to change a good thing. That being said, we all know why we got into Android in the first place.

Yeah, that's what I've been seeing in the thread, rockstarar. I just wanted to see what issues came up, how the feedback was, etc. Faux has ran into a couple of issues, but releases new builds so frickin' quickly - love it. I just want to see it get "groomed" a little more, but it's definitely starting to call my name...

You pretty much just summed it up for me. Haha

[Q] SetCPU settings for Epic?

Being new to the Android world, I'm a little unsure of what my settings should be for SetCPU on my Epic.
Looking for something that would offer a good balance of battery and performance without crippling the device too much.
Thanks in advance...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I keep mine short and simple. I am using a kernel at allows for overclocking so I set the max to 1.2Ghz and the min to 200Mhz. You can play around with the scaling to see which governor works for you best. It's really up to your butt-o-meter.
Under "Profiles" I have one single profile for "Sceen Off" that keeps my EPIC at 200Mhz when the screen is off.

Your epic doesn't freeze when you do that? No matter which kernel I use, if I set it so that my phone down clocks when the screen is off it freezes. It won't unlock and the only way for me to be able to use it again is to pull the battery out and reboot.

Nope. Seems to love it. I guess my EPIC and my EVO share their love for UV + underclocking maybe they really are related
I keep my Epic 1.2 -600 , I'd recommend the Stoopid Fast Kernel as well. The phone is still quick and phone is better with battery life and a hell of a lot quicker when it comes to charging.
I have mine set to 100 Min / 1200 Max. No problems that I can tell.
MixUp kernel.
What about the advanced settings? Can somebody explain to me what they are for?
when i input my own settings it wont show the settings. it just says 1 if at max and 0 if anything else. i love the app i just dont think its really working. i'm wondering if the kernel i'm on allows it to change cpu speeds.
running suppernova build 1.5
kernel 2.6.32.9 (not sure what that means)

i was always told to leave it on concervative scaling for sgs phones. Conservative won't allow my phone's screen to toggle on if my max is over 400. If i set it to ondemand, it works just fine at 400mhz.

I forgot where I read it but it was when I sold my Evo and moved to this section of the forums. I'll look around some more and see if I come up with something but I thought it was something like "Until Froyo gets officially released Set Cpu can't work with it. I bought set cpu a long time ago and didn't use it since. I'm about to throw that bad boy on though to see if it makes any difference.
It's not that SetCPU doesn't work with froyo, but the stock kernel on froyo already scales between 100mhz to 1000mhz without it. I do not have it installed and when I run a system monitor mine usually idles between 200mhz to 400mhz and ramps up whenever a notification comes in or syncing starts.
Just did a screen cap and the phone it idling at 135mhz.

thats true.
also. setCPU messes with your 4g connection to connect. i wasent able to connect when i turnned on the setcpu but i was on the stock conservative setting. i think 4g requires alot of cpu usage that setCPU dosent recognize. SMH

Rom with best battery life

I'v been searching for this topic, and cannot find anything. Hows your battery life on this phone and how do you make it better? I heard CM7 is amazing, but I love Sense to much to give it up.
Try ice glacier I just started running it and its just like sense without the bloat, and with some optimizations. I get great battery life with ice glacier paired with SetCPU.

IGv1.1.6 seems much more stable and using less battery than IGv1.1.5. Haven't setup SetCPU yet as I am just cURLing close to 8.1gb apk.lib archive. Let me be finish ill thoroughly test it, but seems better than before.

CM7 = CyanogenMod 7 (AOSP2.3.1/Gingerbread) ATM its still under alpha and many things needs to be worked out as I use to flash it nightly before IGv1.1.6 its still under RC so wait for the SR if you want it to make it your own stable rom.
my experience so far..
MIUI i get 1.5 days on a single full charge....
evil's desire hd rom id get about .5 days on single full charge, needed a charger.
both had setcpu with just the screen off profile and set to 1.5 ghz oc...
im sure CM7 has pretty good battery life.
BTW for those of you who is saying you get this and that show me screenshot of your awake time don't matter about what you get on uptime.
Battery was at 56% when I shot the image below. Phone is stock and unrooted. It's my wife's, mine doesn't last as long since I'm always playing with it. I'll root mine (maybe) in the future when I get sick of all the bloat (already there).

You saying you OCed 1.7GHz and ran for 16hours? LOL no way man and why do you need 1.7ghz? ATM my SetCPU scale profile for mCPU is max: 1.6ghz/avg: 1ghz/idle: 768mhz and I get around let say 16-17hours. But no way are you getting 16hours running it at 1.7GHZ native unless thats your max on demand or something.

XDA app took 2% of your battery... I love it!
I would also have to vote for CM7. I've tried every other rom and CM7 is best on battery and its also the BEST ROM out there all around!
I have a combination of the stock rom from t mobile and Gr8gorilla I just finished the mod yesterday and so far so good on the battery life.

I've always gotten the best battery life with iced glacier.

Ice glacier v1.1.6 with granks kernel v.05 always gave me around 18 hours, and I'm on it pretty good. I'm on CM7 build #16 and its giving me the same if not better than the glacier setup. I use setCPU on both.
i'm on CM7#19 and i am getting good hour usage. i have BT and GPS on always and i'm still getting like 12-15 hours per on good use. along with crappy signal at home so i'm happy.

Experiences with MIUI

I thought that I would give MIUI a go since I have read great things about it. I have been using CM for a very long time now, so I wasn't expecting to be blown away.
Overall I am pretty impressed with a few caveats. The interface is very nice and I especially like how the notifications drop out of the bar up top, like when you get a text message. I don't need to use handcent anymore to say the least. The built in theme manager is cool and overall the think the menus are easier to use then most roms.
Anyways, the main issue is speed and battery. I read great things about speed but I just don't see it. The homescreen lags, apps are slow to open, and things always seem to lock up on me. I didn't restore from titanium backup, I started fresh. I'm running Savaged Zen 2.2 as my kernel, but the speed seems sluggish no matter the kernel.
The battery life isn't as great as it was on CM7 either. I can barely.make it through a day on MIUI.
Any tips for improving performance before I leap back to CM?
I would stay with Miui for a couple of days and I guarantee you that the battery life will get better, also I would try using tiamat, or godmode kernel they are great.

Download kernel.

Nand backup (because you never know)
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Flash kernel
Reboot

Miui is awesome but the lag just kills me. I've tried every kernel out there and nothing changed lol.

Just flashed miui last night, wanted to see what it was all about. Took me a lil bit to get everything set up but now it's running smooth for me. Lovin it except battery life is killing me, unplugged it just 15 min ago and it dropped 30 percent. Ill probably run this for a week or two then nand back over to synergy or kingdom. Overall though I love the menus of this rom and all the different settings.
Battery dropped another 8 percent in the time it took me to type this.

Try using setcpu with the tiamat 4.0.5 kernel. Maybe your cpu is constantly pegged at its highest frequency so its killing the battery. With set CPU installed I had my Max at 1113 and min at 384 running smartass; I easily got 24 hours with moderate usage. Also download spareparts from the market and make sure your end button has the phone set to sleep.
Here's the free setcpu for xda users.

I've used many kernals (mostly CM and MIUI) as they tend to have the least amount of clutter.
I've been very happy with MIUI (been on it for over 5 months) when I used to flash a new rom almost daily.
I've found MIUI (more than any other rom) has "finiky" issues with installs.
If you've not done it, I'd recommend doing a complete wipe using Caulkin Format All and Format Temp, fresh install of miui (reboot 3 times after you install it, helps get rid of some fo the chinese crap), flash a kernal of your choice (i've been rocking tiamit 4.0.5 sbc) and then configure your phone and set it all up.
I love the fact that you can have folders on your home screen (that show the icons of the content) however, it doesnt hide your status bar (I think it's stupid to have the clock show twice).
I use launcher pro and folder organizer ( available on market) and love it.
I have a very minimalistic layout with everything grouped neatly.
if you've not used MIUI, try it! Stiff is amazing!

Everything seems to work just fine for me with the latest update. I haven't tried Navigation, but my GPS locks almost instantly, so I suppose it would work just fine. It seems like GPS is the biggest problem.
I still have the bug where the automatic brightness doesn't work correctly. I have just set the brightness somewhere and forgot about it. It seems to work correctly for others though. Guess it might have something to do with the kernel though.

Another easy way is to use Kernel Manager from the Market. He has all the most popular kernels listed there. It is a breeze.
try tiamat kernel 3.3.7 which seems to work the best for most people or try the latest one which is 4.0.5. I'm using the latest one with vipermod which is a tool to lower voltages and it's great.

Battery life is based on you personal usage, how much your personal radio is cycling through radio bands, the ROM and the kernel... There is no way for anyone but you to tell how things are going to work our on any ROM... Flash away until you find what you are looking for and stick with it! Or you could always buy an iPhone...

Agreed, stripped down vanilla aosp is gonna be great on battery life. Not my cup of tea though, best battery life ive found is miui, royalginger and cm7.
[ROM] (v1.2.9_r2) CM Nexus Gingerbread 2.3.5 - Faux123 [Aug-07-2011] has had very good battery life for me and good performance too; easily beats stock sense.
TDJ's MIUI Rom has been my daily driver for a while now. With setCPU profiles I have gone almost 2 days.
Proof- as you can see, right around 18 and a half hours I plugged in for about an hour. That's it. So roughly 1 day 20 hours.

How do you get such great battery life? I'm using TDJ's MIUI ROM as well, but only get a maxmium of 20 hours (I barely use my phone).

That answer depends on so many factors. What apps you have and how often they access or sync the network, distance from cell towers, signal strength etc. I also have some great profiles setup in setCPU as well.
I've been testing and experimenting for years. Just trial by error.
Let's see:
3 Homescreens
Facebook sync is OFF, gmail sync is on (contacts + gmail)
GOWeather widget in the homescreen, as well as a picture frame widgets
I do not have ANY cell signal where I live...
Everything turned off besides WiFi, Rotation, Lock, Vibrate, and mid-brightness
WiFi calling is on
I do have an MIUI theme (the Phazon one)
Lots of apps, but I barely use them and none of them need constanct connection to the internet.
Always receive MMS is enable (have no idea what this does)
Just like CBConsultation, i've managed to get way over 1day on my phone running on MIUI, so that would be my first choice, then next would defiantly be Faux's AOSP ROM as a close 2nd. Even though I haven't used faux's rom recently due to the powers of the dark miui preventing me from switching w/o guilt. I've almost reached 2 days once, but I use games and other apps that suck up juice, so that's not happening. I use my phone as a phone, my ipod touch replacement, psp replacement, smartphone, gps, bluetooth thing, and what not. And I am overclocked but at the same time i've lowered the volts thru to negate the extra power drain of 1.4GHz as my max-and I use the new ondemandX governor, not sure what's new in the x version but I like it.

I use 3 homescreens as well. I now use Simi Clock for my clock and weather and set to sync every hour. Before I was using Beautiful Widgets. I have Wi-Fi on all the time as well. Rotation is on, brightness set to usually 25 or 50%
I use my own custom theme [dark themed and minimal the way I like it].
I use FB and have it and Twitter set to 2 hours. Gmail always on and syncing 12 labels. Lots of apps but no connection required unless it's open/running.
My MMS is set to always receive. That means that you can receive multi-media messages [like pics] any time.
Just takes time to mess with all your settings and apps. Kernel and governor makes a difference too.
Aosp FTW
Try Cm7,Royal Ginger, Generation X (my personal favorite), or one of Faux123 awesome roms with he made from scratch with out cm7 source code-but if you like sense but want 22+ hour battery life try Royal Glacier (stock sense) Royal thunder (thunderbolt port) or Royal Senseless.

Blah. I've tried them all and they can't touch MIUI. Seriously, I really have flashed and tried all of those and MIUI is the best when it comes to battery. CM7 would be second as I used that for a long time as well and got great battery life on it. But the others IMHO are not nearly as polished or as good as MIUI.
MIUI is a fluid user experience. Every aspect can be custom tailored to the way you like it. Most if not all those other Rom's are basically the same old same old. Sense to the core.
Don't get me wrong, it's OK but sense framework is inherently bloat prone and slow. All the sense Rom's just don't compare to the fluidity of the entire UI of MIUI.
BTW: if you decompile AOSP you will find that even that is based off sense. Like the G2X. It was supposed to be pure Android when in fact its core has sense underpinnings.

Best Possile Battery Build

Alright guys, ive been hearing different things.. people are getting an upwards of 9 hours of battery from like using texting and that sort of stuff.. stock kernel and rom will give you 5 or 6.. Ive heard some people get 18 hours of use from texting and what not..
Basicly i just want to learn to see what different kernels and set up everyones using and to see how many up hours (like a text or 2 every minute or 2), they get out of it.
Really curious to discover new android things especially battery power with a 4.3 inch screen
Im running Chopsuey kernel with nocturnal shooter sense 3.0 rom and sitting at 768max 245minimum
(yes i made a slight topic typo D=.....)
ICS / CM7 ROM
Kernel : Tiamaat 4.1
undervolted -100mv, 825mv floor
Smartassv2 governor
Battery life: 2 days+
nice to hear you get such good battery life.. i get about 6 or 7 hours of medium usage
I get abysmal battery with every kernel except poonsense for whatever reason. Lasts me all day with texting web phone calls constantly. Seems like setcpu actually makes my battery die quicker

I'm under clocked at 768 max and 245 min and running chopsuey kernel.. I really need someone to tell me some step by step. I know people getting 2 days worth on 1 charge continuous use
The screen shot is from barely using my phone..

Did you do a battery calibration? If so not download free battery calibrator, charge you phone too 100% the which is I think its 4200mah. Install setcpu? Change different governed see what works with your phone. I recommand to try different kernel see what works.

I never believe anyone's claim for 2 days of battery life on a battery of any smartphone.
The most I ever got was at least 8 hours under moderate use with about 40% to spare at the end of the day.
This was achieved using a combination of a froyo rom (myn's twopointtwo) with nets 4.3.4 havs-cfs-more-sbc kernel under-clocked with set cpu and juice defender toggling my mobile data on/off whenever it was needed.
Highest I've personally seen is 18 hours of high use

Not sure if you were asking me or teh, he would be the guy to explain undervolting. I don't use any apps or scripts to uv. Just the setup I posted. Proper battery calibration will probably do the most for improving battery life though.
Btw, I just realized those screenies were not from the Xplod rom. I believe they were from the TN stock, and I would of been running the Chopsuey kernel. Same CPU/governor settings tho.
