What are your settings for Setcpu?

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.

[Q] Droid X SetCPU Profile Settings

I'm looking to improve my phone's battery life and was curious to know what some of y'alls SetCPU profile settings were.
I don't currently have any set up right now, I just simply have been using Max 1000 Min 800.
Thanks for the help.

I have a few thing set up. My main settings are 1000 Max, 300 Min. When the screen's off, I have it at 600 max, 300 min. And when battery life gets below 35%, it's 600 Max, 300 Min. I haven't done any testing to see how well it works, but I think it helps.

Alright thanks, I'm going to give these profiles a try.
I've been using Max 1000 and Min 800 only, with about ~15 hours of battery life. (This is without talking on the phone very much, but texting, twitter, and web browsing)

These profiles you shared with me have worked great on my phone. I've been talking on the phone more and just using my phone more often in general as well - with longer battery life.
I've gone from ~15 hour for a full battery to 24+ hours.
Thanks for sharing.

If u install overclock.lo and set scaling u can run 1GHZ at 34 volts instead of the stock 66

SetCPU Profile settings for HTC Vision G2 [OC'ed]

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.

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.
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 < 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.

Interactive Vs Conservative Governor? CDMA Battery Life Tips

What is this nonsense people are saying about 4 or 5 hours with screen on and their phone is still at 20%? GTFO.... Usually I would say about 3 hours of screen on and i'm dead. I can get like 18 hrs or so lightly, and by lightly, I mean only using it for a few text and check email, maybe some fb just to check inbox and such, lightly, using the phone (with my reception).
I know the Fascinate is better hardware, and I switched for the GPU among other reasons (2 of em for free...=P) but, on my nexus, I still find that the interactive governor ramped up to the max freq. (1113Mhz) less. Of course, I am using the 1150 nonvoodoo from geeknik, but I doubt I will make it 4 or 5 hours of screen on time.w
How can you use the phone, with the screen on, and not do anything that uses the battery. I mean, without cyanogen, it was cool that I can make it through my day, easy, close to out of box (getting to superclean dj05 is about 100 less flashes that I made it through with the n1/sense/cyan nightlys/test roms/etc.).
But now I want more, the price I have to pay I guess for the .3 inches of gained screen is not using the phone heavily in order to save battery!? That sucks. I used to hammer my iPhone and I rarely made it through the day, but I hammered it with atleast 4 or 5 hrs of screen on time sometimes, and it would make it atleast 8 hours... that thing would idle wayyyy better on GSM Edge than CDMA I guess, as with my T-Mobile N1, it idled wayy better, than this CDMA phone. Is there a way to put it on 1x instead of having it always on 3g? There isnt a setting to uncheck, and you cant get in *#*#4636#*#* on CDMA. I tried that immediately after unboxing to get off 3g when I wasnt using net apps, and usually that gave better signal on GSM, saving battery.
Check out my interactive battery test on my N1 that I did, the interactive setting eventually fell out of favor because it ramps up to the max... instead of ramping up accordingly like OnDemand, and not too slowly like Conservative. Again, why does Fascinate use conservative?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7370179 thats my Interactive Governor Battery Test on my N1 I did in the summer time...
I just wanted to start this thread so we can get a consensus on what works best, and for charging this battery. I used to charge my N1 an extra 1.5 hrs with it off after android says it was at 100. That way it idled on 100 instead of immediate drain. An extra 3 or so hours of battery life if you use it right.
CPU governors control exactly how the CPU scales between your "max" and "min" set frequencies. Most kernels have "ondemand" and "performance." The availability
********I want to be able to choose between ondemand and powersave when my battery gets low. On this phone, as I did with the N1.
ondemand - Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.
conservative - Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.
performance - Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking.
powersave - Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times.
userspace- A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor.

Well what else can you contribute to this thread? Thanks for letting me know that the ondemand is just broken on galaxy s phones. So basically its interactive ... or laggy UI experience. And if you've never used a ondemand kernel, you wouldn't notice the difference but i certainly do. It just takes too long sometimes for it to wake and other things. I have my screen off at 400 mhz but still that is higher than the 256 i was using on the nexus one and it used to wake immediately.
I was reading today and I found that ondemand is pretty much the way to go so i wonder if we could bounty up enough would somebody unbreak it...

You are doing something wrong. Conservative is not choppy on my device and the CPU will always ramp up faster than a human being can judge the response time.

My phone makes it the entire day with heavy use, this means about 20 - 10 min phone calls one or two lasting 30 min, texting my wife all day at work, checking emails, and angry birds for at least 1 hour a day i love that game but I suck at it lol. Something that I found is that the phone will last almost an hour of being on the phone after it hits 0%. In my pocket it lasted 4 hours at 0% the day before yesterday. I thought maybe this is on purpose so you have more then enough time to make it to a charger. When I first downloaded angry birds I played it for three hours straight with the screen at full brightness (i always keep it at full brightness, looks prettier that way) I know it was three hourse because it was while i was waiting at the hospital I got there a little before 7 and wasnt called until 10. Overall I am very pleased with the battery life of this phone not so much with other aspects but battery life and lag never came into my mind as a complaint for this phone, except with all the stock touchwiz stuff.

As adrynalyne said, CPU's scaling changes faster than human's perception. It's your phone or setting that's having an issue.

4 hours at 0%?
The little graphic samsung gives you in the stock battery is misleading.
In my brief experience with it, I got the following impression.
full battery graphic: you have between 100% and 75% left.
<full battery: 75%-50%
Half battery: 50%-25%
low battery: 25%-15%
empty: 15%-0%
This may not be quite right, but you get the idea. It has been a while, but stock battery is pretty misleading. Samsung reports [more than] half empty [always] as being half full!
Want a more trailer indicator? You can get an accurate battery mod (via a theme for instance) or you can download an app to check current battery % left (i use osmanager - do not leave this app running in the background! )
Assuming your phone lasts 27 hours or so unplugged with no use at all, I would say 4 hours at "zero" battery makes sense.
For my phone, the display uses an average of 3.5x as much power as the rest of its functionality (total of 1/4.5x lifespan in active use vs. pocket)
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.

I meant "reliable" not trailer.

I get about 5 hours of screen time with little voice calls on wifi.

I don't know if I am just one of the lucky ones but my phone gets between 30 and 36 hours on a single charge, having even made it to 44 hours on a very rare occasion and that's without setcpu profiles even set.

Wtf... my phone is brand spanking new and I get about 4ish hours of screen time on a full charge, with the lowest brightness + screen filter app set at 50.6% reduced light. I get like 3 hours without screen filter on.... wtf. This is running on conservative or interactive the whole time..... wtf!!! With wifi on and 0 extra screens or Widgets using launcher pro without animations... wtf!!!

+1... stock battery indicator is not accurate. Get the accurate battery mod.

That's because you don't use your phone.
Go play NFS for 3 hours and get back to us.

What's the screen filter app? Conservative and interactive? That's SetCPU?
I wouldn't worry about these guys coming in here saying they're getting 2 days of use either. They're not using the phone anywhere near as much as you. I've had 3 of these things and know 2 guys with them. They all got the same battery life. You don't see anyone posting any screenshots, do you?

Me and my gfs fascinate gets about same battery life in our apt and hers is still DI01 and i'm on DJ05... she has jts 11/16 kernel and i have the 12/21 voodoo5 and we get about the same battery life... dependent on how much we use the phone. .... so just use your phone, and charge it as necessary... its better for the type of battery we use anyways in our phones... **************************************************************************************closed.**************************************************************************************

50 hrs of battery life with Burt Droid Rom

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
later

Cool! I'll have to give it a try.

Can anyone confirm this report? I've been toying with multiple ROM's/Kernel's and the best I get out of it with normal usage is about 8-10 hours.

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.
