Ok so I want to start using setcpu because I have heard it helps save the heck out of your battery. Is there anyone with a killer battery saving set up backup file that I could maybe restore on my phone? Also if I'm using nstool for CPU settings should I stop if I'm using setcpu? Please though, if you have a killer battery profile, please upload it and share with the world! Thanks.

Setcpu and nstools work around the same way. Use nstools and lower your CPU clock speed to you desired amount where performance is balanced.

You use setCPU instead of NStools. The battery saving is in the screen off profiles. I have found that it doesn't help all that much on this phone. Just use SmartassV2 and you should be set

Create a screen off profile & set it to 245/245 max/min with smartass governor or conservative. When I was using SetCPU, I undervolted so that while my screen was on, the max was ~600. For the most part I rarely needed it any higher than that for my usage. However if you want to keep it at 998 or above, you will still benefit from a screen off profile.
I only run AOSP, so Sense may need more juice with the screen on.

Didn't see this posted yet in the apps section, there is an app which helps in calibrating your battery. The app is located in the market and is created by an XDA member all credit goes to him. You must be rooted for this app to have an effect, I can vouche for this app as I have used both on the EVO and now on the G2X I have experienced great battery life after using this in conjunction with setcpu.

Out of curiosity, what are people using for the settings on SetCPU (ie max and max). Also, I noticed the "Scaling" option is grayed out on my G2x over my old Nexus One. Does the scaling option require a custom kernel I am guessing? Thanks.
Also, What settings are you guys using for Juicedefender?
I guess that a good reason to root.

Does it matter if the phone is on or off when you charge it to full the second time?

All scaling does is how the CPU scales itself(to a given formula depending on the profile) for example if using a conservative scale the CPU scales itself by 15mhz depending on the task so if your min is 218 it would go up or down by 15 until it reaches the maximum or min. Since no kernals are available yet for our device it will use the default scaling profile built in. my screen off profile is a Max 218 Min 218 with a priority of 100. Regardless of the scaling profile selected I am forcing the CPU to down clock to that set of perimeters
So what I use for SetCPU is
Profile : Screen off
Max 218
Min 218
Priority 100
You dont get lag when unlocking with these settings?

No, i have the same settings and even with those settings i can listen to music and have led notification with no problems, and than right when you turn the screen on, depending on your settings of course, will bring the max right back too 1000.
Yeah it lags when I turn on the screen need to press power like 3 times

This is for the thread "Twenty Hour Of Battery Life" When he says he currently has it set on 216-1000, is he using the "Pimp My CPU"? Also where is that set at exactly? Is it set on the "Main-Scaling Driver" When you open up SetCpu? My "Scaling" is greyed out, I can not set it to "OnDemand" or anything, and yes my phone is rooted, it was the first step in that thread. Both Min, and Max go from 122, 128,245, and 528mHZ, so I am confused on this 216-1000? Also When I go to create a profile, and choose "Screen Off", I have the same issue as above, 216-216? What is that??? Be specific, and I am not a stranger to rooting, etc, so help me out, so I can on to the next step and install "Battery Calabration"

Haha What typed is pretty simple to understand. I have the app SetCpu and when you open up, you are at the "Main" Tab, "Scaling" is greyed/blacked out, I can not set it to On Demand or Conservative. My phone is rooted, and SetCpu has Root Access.
Now how come scaling is disabled? Also, when the person who created the thread "Twenty Hour Battery Life" said he currently has it set to 216-1000, what does that mean? how do I set it to that? He also mentioned that he created profile for when the screen is off, and set it to "216-216", I do not understand what that means, and how to set it like that? I created a profile "Screen Off", but I am stuck at how to put it to "216-216"?
Ummmm. Iirc set CPU does not work on the g2x yet. Pimp my CPU should.

Setcpu works fine he needs a custom kernel.. Like mordic or faux..

On my Nexus One here the only thing I have Setcpu do is when the screen is off it goes to min245 max 384. While using your phone Android regulates your processing power based off of what it needs. While Android does that when the phone sleeps I don't want it going above 384. With my Nexus One I usually get around 18hours + of battery life w/ medium usage. I didn't have my G2x long enough to try out Setcpu but IMO only have setcpu regulate your sleepmode

Why do people keep saying this? I guess the author of the app is lying when he says it is compatible and all the people running it successfully are lying also.
SetCpu supports Terga 2 starting with version 2.1.1a
I have no idea where you are getting you info, but you are wrong.

I recall reading it here on xda. But that was over a week ago. Like I said iirc does not mean I'm 100% right.

SetCPU does work with the tegra2 but I am not sure if it is playing nice with the custom kernels made by Faux and Morfic, that is why everyone is using Pimp My CPU
SetCPU works for scaling but not overclocking.
A great free app that DOES work with both of those kernels is CPU Master - find it on the market.
Thanks for clearing that up. I knew something wasn't right with set CPU onthis phone

What are your settings for CPU Master for the Tmobile G2X? I want to get 20+hours at least, I am using Battery Calabaration from the Market and I charged the phone to 100%, opened up the app which required root access, tapped battery calaberate, then unplugged it, that was at 130 or 1:40, it is now 5:35pm, and it is at 76%, not lasting at all

That's great battery life considering its a dual core tegra 2 phone which will always suck alot of battery juice . If you want a 20+ hour device then get a blackberry.
Android phones are known battery leeches. Look into a portable battery charger

Setcpu does support tegra in G2X but currently does not support oc'ing. The scaling is greyed out on mine to but doesn't affect it sd i have seen.
So if your looking for settings use these for setcpu
Profile battery < 25%
Max 500
Min lowest
Reason: save battery amd extend phone usage
Profile sceen off
Max 1ghz
Min lowest
Reason: will drop to 216 if not using and is in idle but will jumo up if processing power is needed
Profile general (main screen)
Max 1ghz
Min 1ghz
Reason: makes cpu run full steam when using

Hi,
Looking for a program like setcpu which has profiles to change the cpu speed when entering specific application.
For example, if i use kindle i want to lower the cpu speed to save power.
Thanks.

If you have a supported kernel and using setcpu you can use the interactive governor.

Hi yes im new but not quite a noob :cyclops:
There with that out of the way my overclock settings are 1200mhz min 1600mhz max
so far running great with the HellyBean rom
But how would this effect my phone long term if any and I would like to be able to moniter my cpu temp like I do on my pc
but the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140371&highlight=cpu+temp
has some good apps but they don't say cpu temp just the battery temp unless there interlinked some how
Thanks for looking
No temp sensor on the infuse except for battery.
1200 is really high for a minimum... This should be 100. For performance set governor to ondemand.. This will Max the cpufreq on any load. When idle, freq will drop and save battery and cool phone.
Running for extended periods at 1600 your phone will get very warm to the touch.. Combo of cpu and screen... If plugged into charger that will add more heat.
Battery Monitor Widget is a good app for tracking battery temp and related stats over time.

Thanks ya I figured it was a bit high
Do 100 min and 1400 max
And governor to on demand
Also i set up profiles with set cpu so when screen is off the maximum goes down to 400mhz.then screen on profile the max is 1400.it saves battery

Use a CPU manager like SetCPU ($). Voltage Control or Antutu CPU Mgr may also have profiles.. Not sure -it's been a while since I used either.
