What are your guys setcpu settings for this phone to get a better battery life and less lag ?
I've tried having it on the minimum level for when the screen is off but it always takes a while to turn on =/
Also in the what degree is the battery hot enough that I should be worried ?
What kernel are you using that can be overclocked?
Im on the crappy kernal so I doesn't let me overclock .

So I have my phone running Ice Glacier 1.1.6 everything is fine but like I see a significant drop in battery from not much use. and it says display is taking most of the battery power. I have auto brightness on and not many widgets.. Any ideas ??
Do as I did change your blacklight settings and don't use auto bright. Then disable some service using 3rd party apps and trust me there is alot of them that you will never use or need so get rid of them from even starting and if it even restarts have it shutdown. I am also using IGv1.1.6 as I flashed it last night and normally comparing it with IGv1.1.5 its better. Also scale your mCPU with SetCPU and when idle underclock it normally its 800mhz on avg load. Don't waste your battery trying to OC it lol just so you can brag about benchmark. Do this 3 you will see improvement, most folks always talk about uptime but we talk about awake time as thats what really matters.

i dont understand the SetCPU stuff =/
^^^^BUMPP^^^^^
Set cpu is a program you can download that allows you to change the speed your cpu runs at. U can even make profiles so say when ur battery reaches a certain level it will under clock the cpu to run at a lower level to increase your battery life. It also allows you to overclock your phone to run faster but at a significant loss to your battery life.
Hope that helps.
Oh set cpu isn't free now but there are others on the market that do the same thing that are.

I have set CPU but I don't understand how to operate it
What most ppl do is set a profile to run at the minimum speed when the phone is turned off to increase batt life..also, use a reasonable on demand setting for all other usage..no need to do crazy overclocking if you dont need the power

For those of you on CM7 (preferably RC2 or later nightlies), are you using SetCPU or the built in CMSettings CPU manager? Which is giving you better performance/battery life?
I can't help but think that the built in CM Settings CPU tuner is going to be conflicting with my SetCPU profiles.
Been using nightlies since #30 or so, and I currently run SetCPU with a normal profile, a screen off profile, and a profile for <10% battery and haven't touched CMSettings' CPU manager.
I'm contemplating just uninstalling SetCPU for a day or two and seeing what a 1017max / 245min Ondemand or Powersave governor via CMSettings ends up doing to my battery life considering there will be no screen off profile.
Any thoughts?
I dumped setCPU after a lot of testing (and even bought it on market)
I'm finding I'm much happier using inbuilt CPU settings. I think battery life is the same but performance is better due to the fact that SetCPU would sometimes get stuck in my screen-off profile when turned on causing the phone to be really slow.
I recomend uninstalling setCPU, set your ONDEMAND governor with ~1Ghz and run it... You'll find your battery about the same but much less hassle.
I have yet to try that, I somewhat feel obligated to use SetCPU since I purchased it lol. But it probably won't be the last time I waste money at the market.
Neither. CPU tuner works best for me.

its the same thing :facepalm:
Try the inbuilt one... I think its way easier
I've been wondering about this too. I don't quite understand how it works. Can I just set the frequency higher till a certain point without changing the voltage and get the same battery life?
What's the best way of doing this? Just change the clock speed or do I need to change something else or update the kernel?
Whatever you tell SetCPU to do, you'll see the same settings mirrored in the CM settings.
I say setCPU cuz as battery gets lower... I have my CPU speed lower also. Basically, 15% battery lasts me forever :] lol

Definitely. This is the one thing I like about SetCPU is having the 10% and 5% profiles so that I can get the last few % to last forever if I need it. Although in normal day-to-day use I'm never pushing it below 20%.

Yea I see this, as far as the governor changing etc.. This is why I'm wondering if it would be easier on my phone to just run only the CM Settings one.
I notice that every 5th or so time I unlock the phone, there is an obvious lag switching from the screen off profile, and my unlock sliders jitter around and it takes 4-5 tries to unlock the phone. I think this is probably partially due to both settings switching over trying to change.
I think I might try backing up and uninstalling SetCPU for tomorrow to see how it goes.

I've read on here that overclocking the Vision's CPU up to 1 GHz requires no over-volting, and in theory should not affect battery life (but not sure exactly where that information originates from). But there has been lots of debate on these forums on whether the SetCPU app helps or hurts battery life depending on screen-off profiles (underclocking to save battery) or its constant polling of the CPU clock (possibly killing the battery faster).
A kernel that supports overclocking is already part of the CM ROM. If you are on CM, you can just adjust the clock speed under Settings>CM Settings>Performance>CPU settings. Or set the CPU clock using an app like SetCPU. Choosing one method over the other is what is being asked/debated here. If you are on the stock ROM, you need to be rooted, flash a custom kernel that supports overclocking, then install an app such as SetCPU or CPU Tuner to set the CPU clock to your liking.

I'm not sure about CM's kernel with the over-volting but I do know that Pershoots kernel can be overclocked to 979mhz without over-volting (Pershoot told me himself).
At 1.8Ghz, I find the temp settings in SetCPU very useful.
Vision rooted, booted and scooted

Well obviously.... But why the hell would you ever need to be running at 1.8ghz? The fact that you are always using a temp-specific profile method should show you that consistent 1.8ghz isn't good for the phone...
Okay so I uninstalled SetCPU last night and I'm going to run just the CM Settings CPU manager all day to see how it goes. Running like this:
ONDEMAND governor
Min CPU: 245 mhz
Max CPU: 1017 mhz
On nightly #19 also.
Okay so its midnight almost, and I'm at 13hrs unplugged and 52% battery still. Pretty general/light use, phone is just as snappy and the lack of a screen off profile doesn't seem to effect battery at all. Liking it so far! very interesting to see the screen off profile not mattering much.
SetCPU for me. I like to have a temperature and charging profile, to prevent the phone from overheating. Even at 1ghz the possibility exists, nice to have a backup incase.
I'm thinking set cpu conflicting with the cm built in caused my ****ty running problems. I have not used setcpu since and been good so far

With multiple tries... If you change the settings on one, it cancels the settings on the other... Maybe it's because you had set on boot enabled on both?
im going to run the CM tuner and uninstall Setcpu and see how it runs. i never thought about this but i do get that lag when i turn my screen on sometimes. im gonna miss having the profiles but ill see how it runs over the coarse of a couple days.
hi guys!!
i'm just curious.. has anyone tried this mod?? it's not for defy.. but maybe someone manaeged to make it work properly on it
thanks!!
byebye
what mod there is no link or description?? best you can do is decrease your vsel and use juicedefender on extreme.
Apart from that I doubt you will make a difference. Lowing the voltage of the CPU and juicedefender will stop all activities apart from cell service that drain the power. Dunno what more you could do without turning the phone off.
ahahaha sorry i forgot the link i'm a "lerdo" ahaahha
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621808
this is the link!
i'm already using juice defender and i'm pretty satisfied about my defy battery life.. but i've found this thread intresting!
thanks again!
yeah could be interesting but what will it sacrifice. You get these builds by builders and if this is really the be all end all wouldnt they use it??
Like vsel you decrease the vsel you get better battery life but you sacrifice the speed of the CPU. Your CPU is faster running at a higher volt but it is using more power. So if you can run the same speed at lower volts it will use less battery.
Now this is a catch 22 as some times overclocking the cpu and undervolting it will be slower then the stock setting but you may gain more battery life.
as the title says, i have major overheating issues i will use the phone for 5 min then its becomes VERY HOT so i have to turn it off i have a OC but it never gave these issues before, on any rom even disabling the oc i still have these issues.
my settings:
1300mhz(high)
200mhz(low)
noop
performance
no UV(maybe i should at one need you help)
voodoo color boost
403mb ram
didle enabled
devil idle(automatic)
BLX to 90%
no live oc
so what is the prob? im on wifi it gets hot even on half brightness
on 3g i cant use my phone for more than 5 min before i need to turn the screen of.
this is worrying me alot.
OMG u set cpu governor to performance @ 1.3 GHz do u want to Melt ur phone dude :laugh::laugh:

Governor Performance is definetly NOT for everyday use - with performance your CPU is running at max speed all the time. I think your device is broken. My SGS with 112% live oc and lulzactive is only a little bit warm after 2 hours of YT and internet.

I'm not sure if his phone is broken. My phone used to get very warm, then after I changed rom it didn't get warm at all.
hy there,
im on latest sokp rom on my g2 (d802)
i want to get more juice from my battery, so I setup my core setings at 1036 mhz max and minimum 300 mhz.
wil this provide me a lot off battery in real life and will it also reduce heat ? even if i watch hd movie or play graphical games
In theory yes it should but not as much as you think cause it will be offset because it will have to keep a higher frequency for a higher period of time. Temperature should be reduced a lot but keep in mind games will lag if they need the extra power

hmm, well after i underclocked i played asphalt 8 for like 20 mins and game performance did not changed significantly. and i feel that the phone is now cooler then before when multitasking stuff.
is there also another way that can realy increase battery life besides underclocking.

you also can try custom governors
Hey there, you may be suffering a placebo effect, it can give you a little extra juice, but in my opinion you get most of your battery with these 4:
1. Reduce timeout to 15sec.
2. Adjust screen brightness to be as low as possible (lux helps with this)
3. Eliminate vibrations of any kind (haptic feedback, notications that make your phone vibrate ex. whatsapp) and so on...
4. Data (Use Wifi if possible, 2g when you are not using your phone and airplane mode in some cases extend your battery for a lot too)
Don't expect to get more than 30 min of extra use changing your kernel configurations. ALTHOUGH if you are a heavy user (let us say, in this case, a heavy gamer) there are some kernel configurations you should check.
Also remember, if a task takes you 30min but only consumes 1 % per 30 min compared to doing the exact same task in 30seconds consuming the same 1% which one is worth it?
Phones hardware is way above the software we have available at this time, underclocking and undervolting is an option and you won't feel the difference but, as I've stated before, those are not the main issues of the battery drain.
I hope I've helped you out!
