It's called 'saving power'.
As long as it doesn't lag and clocks itself up to maximum when required, there's nothing to worry about.
Or you can get some CPU clock app and set it on maximum performance. But don't be surprised if you can boil eggs on it then and the battery dies in 2 hrs :good:

I ran my N7 at 1.7 (using Trinity) without any heating problems. Battery life was acceptable.

Found out it was power Hal script I ran fixed now!

NVM removed it now it Underclocks to normal 1.3 GHz from any Freq!!! Why....

clear the data for tkt and reboot. if you are using tkt, you dont need a powerhal script, since tkt runs it automatically after opening it.

Does Tegra 3 really need overclocked? Having used Tegra 2 I can say that could definitely use a little bump but so far T3 is keeping up with me and I can see a big difference between T2 and T3. Makes me wonder what T4 Wayne has in store.

does it need it.. probably not. do we want to overclock anyways.. yes! btw, its underclocked by default(its rated to 1.5ghz). i use it at 1150mhz as a daily btw.

Cpu

Hey,
Cpu spy and setCPU show that my N4 only uses the minimum freq and highest possible.
Does this happens to all?
Settings can be found on my signature

Theres a bit usage on the other freq, but nothing compared to min and max

Yes, it's because of the Franco kernel. looks good!

Yes that is normal. Min and max are used the most.

I'm craving better battery life. Help!

Currently on stock ROM running the matrix kernel. I can't get more than 2.5hrs of screen on time which I think is pathetic. With my galaxy note 2 I can get 5-6hrs screen on time with same usage.
Any other kernel I should try to improve battery life? I see some people here getting over 4hrs screen on time and I don't see how it's possible on this phone.

Pretty good battery life with Franco kernel. What's your screen brightness and mind if you post a screenshot of your Battery in Settings?

Switch to the CM 10.1 nighties. Getting double what I did on stock, no joke.
Some of my recent battery stats can be found here.

Here are my fine tuned settings, been working on these for a while to get this thing to last haha. BTW: buy Faux123 prj app, its fantastic. Well here goes 486/1.13 on intellidemand, snake charmer on, mpdecision off, -100mv universal UV, CPU eco mode on, GPU at 400 on demand, io at fiops 2048.

Hmmm that's weird. Isn't it a pure stock ROM just like stock? Wonder why it's so much better.
Any issues with this ROM? What kernel are you using?

Yep CM10 nightly is where its at. Running faux kernel. Check this out. This is with very heavy CPU usage as well.

did you disable any of the location settings in maps or google services/sync? those seems to destroy battery life.

Stock everything as far as CM goes. Location services running. No stability or other issues experienced yet, just a slew of other features I don't know how I went without.

Is it as fast as stock? I love how fast the phone is stock and wouldn't want to change that.

It's faster than the speed of light.

You should look at Franco kernel thread... 5-6 hours are no problem .
I use 100% brightness and have now 2h screen on time and 44% battery left.

Do you have to mess with any CPU settings? Or just flash the kernel and that's it?

Kernel refer

Can you refer me to a kernel that's out of the box ready to go? To be honest I am pleased with the stock kernel, which i am using, but I want a mod to make the in ear headset volume louder and supposedly I can't do that on stock kernel. So I need something close.
When I look through faux and Franco threads I get overwhelmed with all the settings and interfaces talked about.
Another thing is I like stock Google colors, not the darker ones a lot of the devs have been updating to.
Thanks

Go with Faux To the best of my knowledge if you flash Faux's kernel you retain stock Google color presets until you choose to tweak them via Faux's kernel management apps (you can also revert to Google presets via his app after experimenting with colors yourself). He does have an enhanced stock kernel if you want to keep as close to stock as possible.
As for volume or speaker settings he's got you covered there as well--check out his apps on GPlay. You don't have to feel overwhelmed because he does provide you with "recommended" settings on the various sliders & knobs within the app interface. And the enhanced performance & battery life you'll get is just gravy. Good luck!

With either Franco or Faux's kernel, no need to be overwhelmed by all the settings. They work just fine using the default settings out-of-the-box, and you can just change the settings that interest you.

Use Franco kernel. It's been amazing so far. Everyone is impressed with battery life and all. You don't need to mess with the settings. Just run as is.

[DISCUSSION]Governors and Schelduers

Okay,so i made this thread so that development thread become less spammed with your questions.
Please,share your opinions here and ask questions,someone will answer you,and share your screenshots of battery life.
I personally use PegasusQ+VR,it gives great performance and good battery life.
My second choice would be Abyssplug+SIO,especcialy for the hotplug feature.
(In case you dont know what Hotplug is,its the feature that turns off the second core when your phone is not in use.)
I cant decide wich is better,tommorow ill test Hotplug+sio,and ill post screenshots of both tommorow.
Please,ask any questions here,dont spam Benz's threads.
Thank you

OnDemand + CFQ (Like in stock ROM) the only way that don´t dry my battery.

With that combination my phone is slow like hell..have you tried those that i wrote.

Hi, can you tell me the best combination of governors to use. I'm using latest cm
10.1 maclaw build with hotplug and noop, but i think CPU its not sleeping cause i loose about 5% battery in 2hours withought using my fone at all. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app ?

Hotplug governor is indeed a joke, at least in Maclaw's CM (not surprised). There is no way to set it up for low battery drain /and/ reasonably smooth functionality. Right now I am using Ondemand + CFQ while playing with the powersave bias and up threshold parameters. The only thing I wish I had from Maclaw/Benz's kernel is the vr/sio schedulers.

You have VR and sio schelduer in Benz's kernel,and Abyssplug governor with real hotpulg feature,when you dont use the phone cpu shuts down one core and the remaining core runs on 200Mhz and 1% usage.

I would gladly use that kernel if it didn't have the dirty flickering fix. And if it didn't require CM10.1 reboot edition.
Also, when I was on CM i ran a logcat with hotplug activated. The second core would often reactivate even if the phone wasn't doing anything, with the screen turned off, then soon turn off and after a few seconds repeat the process. Maybe this phone really needs the core.

What flicketing fix? I got no flickering on the latest Maclaws cm and benzs kernel..and it shuts down the core,you can see with system monitor when your screen is on..dunno for screen off,but i get like 1% drained for a hour with screen off
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The 63 fps refresh rate, which "fixes" the UI flickering.
And yes, I saw the second core turning off myself. However, I am not sure if it keeps being off enough time.

Well in maclaws rom i dont have flickering,but in olivers i had. I dont know,i got decent battery life. Not good as stock,but its ok

Pegasusq said to have hotplugging but doesnt seem to work with screen on

Based on what I read, my best guess would be Abyssplug. I'll run some tests and will post my results.

And what exactly is so wrong with 63 fps refresh rate? Will your screen fry because of it? No it won't because it can't. Will your phone explode while being used? No it won't because it can't. What's the issue here then? Tell me.

Have you considered the battery drain implications? The battery is weak enough as it is, a higher than normal refresh rate only wastes more GPU power thus more battery.
