I have an extended battery and was wondering if anything is affected from the Mv levels in voltage control. I know the battery is registered in volts and Ma. So i assume it doesnt affect anything exceot the voltage levels. Thanks for any input, sorry if it sounds like a stupid or confusing question

I am loving my Android experience so far coming from and iPhone 4. I am running LeeDroid and have been playing around a lot with SetCPU. At this time, I am not concerned about battery as of yet. I am asking this question in regard to optimal, blazing fast performance with minimal hiccups.
I have done Quadrant testing at various min/max CPU levels. I had excellent results at 1804 high 904 min. However I had to yank the battery after not being able to unlock the device.
For profiles, real basic, again I am not concerned about battery charge life ATM. I have it set to revert to stock performace (1036/245) if the battery temp reaches 100F.
With the screen locked, I have it set to 499/245. All of my settings are using the "ondemand".
I would like to know what an ideal minimum is for PERFORMANCE as well as ideal max (1804? Highest might not always be fastest?). I got amazing results with Quadrant full benchmark with settings of 1804/499. This also caused a lockup when trying to unlock the device though. Maybe because there was a conflict with my lockscreen max setting? I would think the app would put priority to the lock profile though.
Also, does this phone have a built in CPU temperature sensor that I could utilize with a CPU temp widget?
Thanks for reading my lengthy ramblings.

A. This thread belongs in the q&a
B. Some inspires can't that much of an overclock, might seem like yours is one of them
C. You might get more help if you post in the leedroid thread

Thanks for your excellent A, B, C format response. I'll head elsewhere.
Hi y'all I have searched high and low to find something that tells me my CPU usage, I want to monitor it by seeing how long it stays at 245 or higher and when it jumps around and I want it to keep track of the history, is this to Mich or can someone point me in the right direction

Cpu spy will track the percentage of time your phone is at a certain frequency state.
Did you try searching for cpu in the market? There are a bunch of apps that will monitor your cpu usage.
Yeah, I have found ones that are useful, I want to know the time spent at a certain MHz or w.e. you call it, if that makes sense. I found plenty that tell me the percentage of CPU working but that is no good because my off screen profile is at 245max 245 min and so the percentage fluctuates more when it's off.. but the is not telling by looking At it, when I heavily use my phone and when the screen is off. I'm trying to calculate what kernel is working best for me.

either with setcpu or voltage control...would someone care to just explain how to use these apps.
I understand the governers, and I understand the min / max.
So If I bump that max up to 1400 or even 1600 and leave the minimum down...what exactly does that do?
If paired with on demand does it mean it will use as much processor as it needs to perform a task all the way up to the max of what I have it set to?
also, the thing that seems to confuse me mostly are the individual sliders you can adjust per frequency.
I know this is broad question, but I was just hoping someone wouldnt mind explaining this to me as best as possible...or at least dumb it down for me.
I have googled and searched, and really havent found clear answers to me personally to understand it.
thanks
I personally use voltage control extreme.
In regards to the individual sliders you speak of, I believe that those control how many volts the phone uses at each particular frequency. You don't want to turn the voltages down too low/high though because you can freeze your phone and have other problems.
I use the "conservative" governor and seem to get the best battery life with it.
By overclocking to 1400 or 1600 it allows for your phone to run applications, videos, etc. smoother, by using the remaining cpu capabilities of the phone's hardware. The drawbacks of overclocking are that it sucks the battery very quickly, it can cause the cpu to overheat, and can also decrease the life of the processor.
Hope that helps some!
So what is a safe top end? To run on a daily basis.

Every CPU is different, some will handle OC better than others. It all comes down to what is stable for you. Also, it isn't overclocking that decreases the life of the processor, but overvolting. Just set the voltages as low as possible while maintaining stability, test using a benchmarking app. Also, ondemand is the best choice of governor IMO.

But doesn't overclocking cause the phone to heat up? I suppose it also depends on what temperature the phone is rated to safely run at too though doesn't it? Cause with increased temperatures I am pretty sure the processor's life could be impacted. But that is probably only if you overclock for a extended period of time.
I would suggest staying at 1.2 for daily use, but if you are doing something that requires a little more cpu you can just bump it up until you don't need it anymore.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I know that some ppl OC to 1.6 with ondemand gov and use that as a stable setting... others report problems, FCs, ... think it depends on individual phone.
Some stay at 1.4 to be cautious...
The UV section is where I hear a lot of dissenting opinion. Some say -100 across the board gives best battery/stability... others say voltage should be high toward 1600 and UV more as you approach lower frequencies... personally I find that a graduated setup is best but I am not an expert.
Just sayin' what I've read here.
I've heard of battery calibration, how do you do it? also Im using faux's kernel with it coming with uv, but perhaps should I go lower than that until I find a voltage that keeps my phone going, if I use lower the voltage will it affect my performance at all? perhaps any suggestions on what i should make the voltage. btw im using cm7 nightly/faux's kernel.
I would use the ds faux kernel and undervolt the bottom numbers (anything below 900) to 750. Test what works and is stable. Also set a screen off profile that makes pit at 300 something.
Fairly heavy use and I got 13 hours today.
And battery calibration is a myth.

Check this reguarding battery calibration.

If you have corrupt battery stats they can affect battery.
after changing voltage i lose the reading on my battery and it says 999% in setcpu lol.
also how long can i expect to play gta III until battery running out on nightly cm7/trinity with max ghz set to 1 and -150 voltage from max on every mhz other than 432/216 and no wifi and lowest brightness
Hello all.
I noticed my battery life might be a little less than before so I installed Ampere and CPU-Z from play store and I wonder if the voltage like this is normal.
It changes from time to time sometime it's 3.7v, 3.8v, now after charging I noticed it's 4.1v.
Is it normal to change like this? And is it dangerous? Does it mean a problem with the battery?
The device is acting normal. Battery temp is between 31c- 40c but it's hot climate in my location. CPU temp is around 48-55c but it can go up to 70c if stressed.
Can you guys share your info?
