SetCPU

I've always read in the past that the app doesnt actually help with battery life because its purpose was for OCing and Android regulates the cpu clocks already.
So I'm wondering, for those currently using it, have you noticed any difference in battery life (without underclocking while in use)? and if so what profiles are you using?

I have just one profile, screen off= 216/216. I'm now on 14 hours with 30% left. Much better than before, when I was getting 11 hours at the most.
I also use the battery calibration app. But that's all I've done.
Just want to add I use wifi calling, and I run everything else, gps and syncing gmail and facebook is on. Screen is set to auto brightness. The only thing I have off is bluetooth.

I do the same.. just 1 screen off profile to underclock it to 216/216 when the screen is off

Android does regulate the cpu, but I don't think it will take advantage of more conservative governor modes unless you tell it to. That's only relevant if the kernel supports more conservative governor modes. And, as the other responses have pointed out, you can force Android to be more conservative by capping the max clock speed.

Hmm... Guess its worth a shot. Good lookin out guys.

when i go into setcpu there are alot of options to choose there is no auto detect like on my mytouch 4g. how did you guys get it to work. i picked the last option which was custom and it forced close on me.

Yeah.. When I hit the tegra 2 option it wont let me change the governor.

You need to be rooted so that you can let set CPU have super user access. Are you rooted yet?

I think that that means that the kernel is not supported for the "automatic" governors. However, you can still create profiles to regulate the CPU based on perameters that you set, i.e. Screen off 216/216

So all G2x see the same in setcpu - no autodetect and only governor available is "driver"?
Will custom ROMs like CM7 change this?

SetCPU improved my battery life tremendously! Before I was losing about 15-30% and hour, since 8:30 this morning my battery only dropped to 73%. I set my active profile between 457mhz and 816mhz depending on remaining battery and it's still fast as hell.

From what I've heard, yes, that is what every g2x setcpu user sees. I don't know whether CM7 will fix this, or maybe later versions of setcpu

Once we get some custom kernels, we should be able to change the governors in setCPU, dependent upon on what the kernel supports.

SetCPU Custom Frequencies for G2X
I got SetCPU today and was playing around with it and it looked like it was limiting my CPU all the time due to lack of profile, not just when I had the screen off per my profile so I looked into making a text file for custom frequencies and am posting it here since there doesn't seem to be any help for g2x with it.
This is a really simple file, tell me if you guys have any better ideas, I just put in:
216000,528000,712400,1000000
I'm attaching it. I put the file in my dropbox, grabbed it via the app and then moved it to /sdcard/setcpu.txt via astro file manager then loaded custom profile from within setcpu. Hopefully this saves someone some time or you can tell me if I'm going about this the wrong way
I'm sure it could be fine tuned more but I was getting irritated at how much of a pain it was to unlock the phone with it set too low, so for screen off I have it set to 216->528. You could add 254000 in or something. The phone seems to be as usable as before now with setcpu enabled like this while it should be limiting the cpu when the screen is off. It sucked (well not the battery) without a custom profile.

Yep, I agree. My phone has been off the charger for almost 9 hours, and I'm at 70%.
I have everything on, including wifi calling, and one profile in Setcpu for screen off 216/216.
Also used the battery calibration app.

I tried that 216/216 profile and got the sleep of death followed by reboot loop every few minutes after the phone booted. wouldn't stop till I manually powered the phone down then back on. oh well... my phone idles fine anyway. wonder what clock speed android idles at by default.

Actually, your assumption is wrong, as is often the case.
I'd quantify it more as normal use. Lots of texts, some games of Pro pool, a few phone calls, checking Pulse 3-4 times during the day for 10 minutes at a time, some mild web browsing and watching a few youtube videos.
I ended up at around 18-19 hours of of use.
Today, I'm off the charger for 8 hours, and I still have 45% left, and I would say that's with some moderate to heavy use.

Try upping it to 216/312 or a tad higher and you should be fine.

Battery overheating

When I play graphic intensive games like Where's My Water or Cut The Rope, my battery temperature goes up rapidly. Within 4 or 5 levels it's in the mid 40s C. (The first time it went all the way up to 53 C before I looked at it.)
Is this normal?
If not, would you suspect a bad battery? (I got the phone used.)
FWIW, I'm running ARHD 6.6.3. Behavior is the same under the stock kernel and under SebastianFM's kernel.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Same problem.

Well the battery doesn't CAUSE overheating, the processors do. Always. ICS roms, the newer ones anyway don't overheat the phone as much, turn of your syncs, mobile network and decrease the brightness of the phone. Your phone will always overheat pretty much no matter what you are doing on it if it is charging.

Try to change the governer...and don't over clock the processors..actually 1.2ghz would do....so try changing the governer...or try faux kernel (keep the governer to intellidemand) ...I use faux kernel and also I play a lot...phone heats up but not that much...it reached max of 40 C

I'll try re-flashing ARHD 6.6.3 and install Faux kernel this time. The governor is part of a separate app, right? I can't find a governor to set otherwise.
The battery still heats up when I set a max CPU frequency of 1.148 GHz. I'll post my results with Faux kernel and with replacing the battery (with an Anker 1900 mAh one.)

The governor sort of controls how the CPU speed will run on your kernel. You can change the governor using an app like SetCPU or System Tuner. BTW faux does tend to run a bit warmer, in my experience, but it's nothing to worry about if you know that you're running apps that are a bit heavy on the CPU.

I had the same problem , and im now currently running ARHD.
First time i try stock kernel and everything was burning, tryed to change with sebastian kernel with stock cpu speed and nothing change (and so a hard battery drain), they suggest me re-flashing Sebastian kernel and now everything is ok, temperature is not going up..
im currently running Faux kernel, all stock, and everything is awsome, try it.

I Super-wiped, formatted dalvik cache (I didn't see it in the Superwipe messages), re-installed ARD 6.6.3 with SebastianFM kernel, re-installed the radio, and put in the Anker battery. With System Tuner limiting the CPU max to 1.148 MHz and Governor set to Powersave, my battery hardly heated up at all while playing a game. The game's graphics did stutter though.
Now trying the on-demand governor to see if I can play without stuttering and without overheating the battery. My suspicion is that the improvement is due to re-doing the flashes or replacing a damaged battery.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!
This fix only works for Ondroid rom. And then it has mixed results as to effectiveness.
But ARHD requires firmware 3.32 to work. If you try 3.12 you are likely to get bootlooping.
Musa, you know this only works on Ondroid. You should not be recomending firmware twaeks for other roms you havent tested it on.

For future refference you dont have to reflash your rom to switch kernels.
Just wipe dalvik and cache and flash the new kernel. The first boot after than will take a few minutes but then it will be fine.
Its MUCH easier tgan redoing the whole rom.

More testing: I tried putting the old battery back in. Within 3 levels of gameplay the battery heated up to 40C. The new battery hasn't hit 30C no matter what I do. I think it's fairly conclusive the used battery that came with the phone is defective (whether from use, mis-use, or original defect, I have no idea.)

Nope incorrect my friend. Any batteries that ate not from HTC themselves won't tell the correct temperature because they do not have full battery calibration like it is with the stock ones.

dont hold me to this but you could try getting the htc evo 3d battery or the sensation xe which I think are 1720mah, their callibration should work.

I contacted Anker to see if they had any software or anything for reading temperature. They said they did not and offered to take the battery back (kudos.) I'm keeping the battery.
Underclocking the CPU to 1 GHz seems to be helping quite a bit. Also, something changed with the battery sensing. The Anker battery went from indicating 25C all the time to indicating 11.5-12C all the time. When I put the stock battery back in, it's reading 17C while charging and somewhat above that while playing games, but nowhere near as high as before.
I wonder what's going on...

Racing to 1000 [Q]

Hey XDA,
I'm running PixelRom 1.7.2 and Trinity TEUV and my phone is almost always running at 1000Mhz, which is causing terrible battery life. Even if I'm just idling at my launcher, it will go that high... Anybody know how to get it to stay at lower frequencies? Oh and my governor is Ondemand and scheduler is Deadline. Hope someone can help...

teuv runs at 880mhz.
its possible that an app or a background process is active. try this free app from the market, its called diagnosis https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.diagnosis&hl=en

I thought it did too, but NsTools and CPU spy both give me: 100Mhz, 200Mhz, 400Mhz, 800Mhz, 1000Mhz, and 1096Mhz. I will try the tool from the market (yes, I still calls it the market)

if you just booted, it should(for about 2-4 minutes) then it should drop. unless you have an active live wallpaper, an app thats not written very well, or a process thats gone wild. try that app i linked, let it run for a few hours, maybe you can find the cause.

My phone had been on for a few hours...
Also, I flashed TEUV, and I don't think my phone handles it very well (TEUV has GPU overclock). Once I booted, it gave me a black screen and said: (Application) has stopped working for every app on startup. This happened twice, so I went back to Matr1x and battery is still terrible...

sounds like a bad download of teuv.

Bad download? I flashed it properly and it booted fine, until after the "optimizing applications" screen

is this the first charge since you flash the kernel? If it is, let the battery run out, charge it full and take a look at it again. I find that ICS really take a full charge to stablize its battery... my first charge after flashing a new kernel has always use a lot more battery than the second charge.

Alright, I'll try that... Also I went back to aosp+ because I really like it.
Also, android system is always using 20% cpu, even on idle..

I remember performing some tests with frequencies and deep idle - I wanted to find out the minimum frequency required to run music player screen-off with few concurrent processes. I remember reading how 400mhz is the optimal frequency for deep idle but cpu spy would always report it cruising at 1ghz and cross referenced with nstools DI stats, it was supposedly in deep idle. With DI off and bumping up the frequency to 800mhz, 1ghz took up the majority of operation time. Long story short, whatever combination I tested did not garner desirable results. That was a couple weeks ago, though. I've since given up on figuring it out.

Wait, are you having the same problem as me?Ive lost 5% battry just by having the screen on for 9 minutes...

Battery Temperature problem

I've been having some problems with my battery temperature...
Usually when I'm not using my phone the temperature stays around 27C. But when I use a small app like messaging for a minute or so it shoots up to about 35C or more.
Another thing is that when I keep my phone for charging it's temperature rises upto 55C or more. Once it went to 60C.
Is this normal or is my battery faulty?
Btw for the battery stats I use Minimalist Text.
I'm on the MIUI ROM by TheFrankenstain. Overclocked to 1.2ghz.
Any input will be helpful. Thanks.

When your phone is not in use and not charging: around 33C and below is completely normal.
When your phone is in charge but not in use: around 40C and below is normal.
When your phone is in use but not charging: then 40C and below is normal depending on what you're running. it may go up to 45C depending on your kernel and max CPU frequency and also how heavily an app consumes resources e.g high graphic games (it also depends on the weather ).
In Summary: 35C and below is completely normal when NOT in use, 45C and below is normal when in use, 50C+ is quiet dangerous in any condition especially when not in use, 60C + Immediately stop using your phone and you'll wanna head to the freezer fast and change your battery or phone.
Always remember: NEVER use you phone while charging.

Ok thanks for the replies... I'll keep the things in mind.

Actually it got automatically Overclocked when I flashed the MIUI ROM. Any Overclocking app was not installed, so I installed setcpu to make profiles for charging. But problems started to occur after that. So I uninstalled it and those problems disappeared. Well I checked with an app. It remains on 1.2ghz only 14%.
Maybe the temperature is due to the summer. 33C outside.
Anyways I've come up with my own way to keep my phone cool. I place it on a wet cloth. And that does help.

Ok. But i don't keep the cloth that much wet. Anyways it was due to the overclocking. I flashed the stock rom back and everything was back to normal. Except one little thing. Well that thing needs another thread. I'll not discuss it here.

I'm having the same problem. Just this morning, I was charging my phone and left it under my pillow. I wasn't even using it and when I came back to check my emails it was hella hot! My phone usually gets hot when I'm using it heavily and even more when I'm charging + playing games but this morning was different. I almost thought it's dead lol. I was running cm7. now I'm using miui GB based, phone still overheats but not like before.

I don't think this is very good battery life as I've barley used my phone today. I'm considering buying the battery for the nexus as it has a little more capacity and I've read it fits but I'm waiting on confirmation.
Anyways..I'm testing slimbean 3.1.0 build 3 with the T989UVMC6. I'm thinking of trying the LV kernel, what governor and I/O scheduler are providing good results for you guys?
And this battery: EB-L1D7IVZ

Is this the one your referring to? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025488&highlight=bluelightning+x2
You running the standard JB one and not the GPU OC one? You seem to be playing with all the roms and kernels to..how would you compare it to LV kernel. Also, what radio are you using? Does it seem like my cell standby time is high in that screen shot? I have only made two phone calls and had the screen on a few times for a few minutes today. The phone was at 100% at the start of the morning and has been very idle so i'm surprised to see it so drained.

On page 5 on that thread is the link for X2. Flash X2 then the GPU OC Zip.. Using UVMC Radio. Haven't flashed LZ in a while so i don't know.

I'm using BlueLightning with Conservative and SIO, minimum frequency is 348 max is 1188. It's not the best combinauon if you prefer performance, I get about 18 or 19 hours of battery life I'm also using the same radio as you BTW .
