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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736810
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.

What are you guys getting in the new rooted 2.2 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.
Care to share yours that's specifically tailored for our SGS2? Hopefully one that has the best batt life without affecting performance

Screen off - 500 max 200 min - Conservative
Never had any performance issues and getting over 2 days with moderate use

Hi killall, why would you use conservative instead of ondemand? Any noticeable difference? Thanks
i get 2 days even without setcpu...
these tools are outdated. dont get the point in using them.

Maybe by sharing these information we could help each other improve our phones
Mine:
ROM:CM7 Ba2tf
Kernel:Clemsyn's faux modified kernel elite 1.4
Radio:
Extra performance or battery enhancing applications(if any):CPU Tuner for OC
Quadrant score on average:4200
Battery life on average:21hours on normal usage with lower settings(sadly)
ROM: CM7 Ba2tf (Haven't tried Weekly #3, waiting for another Stable release)
Kernel: faux123's Stock Enhanced Kernel 0.2.2
Radio: N_01.77.36P
Extra performance or battery enhancing applications(if any): SetCPU undervolted (-75 -50 -100 -150 -200 -275 -350) with screen off and battery temp profiles.
Quadrant score on average: Not sure, haven't benchmarked in a while.
Battery life on average: About 30 hours with 4.5 hours with screen on, Wi-Fi on about half of the time, 30 minutes of calls (sometimes like 4 hours but it dies a lot faster), 300 texts a day average (send/receive), Facebook, XDA, and Browsing over 3G and Wi-Fi. Sometimes I get about 40 hours with 5.5 hours with the screen on but that's all just texting and fooling around, no using 3G which is a battery hog. I have background data and auto-sync disable which helps with the battery life a little bit. If anyone has similar or better I'm interested in how they did it. I'd say my phone gets pretty good battery life but better would be nice.
Hi, i have this problem. I have cm 10.2 and setVsel for control the cpu frequency speed. I set 300 17v, 600 45v, 1000 54v and 1200 66v.
My problem is that in the first 2 minutes all work ok but after 2 minute the cpu works only at max 1000mhz of speed. I can see it because i have installed spy cpu and for example now it marks:
1000 10%
600 67%
300 8%
Deep sleep 13% (it sleep a bit)
The missing 2% is the first 2 minute that the cpu works at 1200mhz in the first 2 minute.:silly:
Someone can explain me why?
Other two question, why cpu spy don't marks other frequencies over: deep sleep, 300, 600, 800, 1000?? And downvolt the cpu really extend the battery life??? because i don't see difference (max 1 hour of extra life)

You can change that behavior in Aero Control. Change hispeed_freq and input_boost_freq to 1200000. Undervolting doesn't extend battery life by a huge amount.
