The problem is, no matter what program I use, if I set the Tab to downclock at 100/200 or even 100/400 when the screen is off, the phone will freeze in sleep and force me to reset the tablet pressing the power buttornfor 7 seconds.
Anybody else have this issue?

do you use SerCPU?
I set is 100/400, it sometimes work but my phone was getting random reboot.
So I disabled it...

same issue with me , if I set the cpu to 100 to 300 it would hang or crash coming out of sleep mode . I ended up removing setcpu and going back to stock . i expect the Cooked roms will resolve this later on .
Probably kernel related. If i select the Set On Boot option, after a reboot both min/max freqs will change to a min of 19 and max of 500. Probably best to leave it until we have devs working on it.

there's really no need to underclock when the screens off, you know that right?

Get an app to graph the cpu use, and you will see the cpu spike when sleeping.
So, in short, yes: downclocking with the screen off really help the battery life

It doesn't make much difference as the cpu scaling does a more than adequate job, but whatever wets your whistle
Hi, first to defend myself, I did search and found that everybody says good things for every kernel. So every kernel is best for Stock ICS?
I got confused. Yes I'am total noob and recently learned how to root and flash custom rom's.
I just want to hear your opinion for best kernel running on Stock ICS.
I need kernel that is good for the battery but also snappy for the system. I don't play games and I use my phone for calls, reading news, working on excel files, google maps, mail and taking pictures.
My phone is Nexus S GT-I9020T on Wind network.
IMO ezekeel kernels
Has lats of featured including voodoo color

Thank you. Is this kernel stable?
Im just trying to set it up as we speak, will let you know how stable it appears once I figure it out
Stuck on trying to flash an unsecure boot image at the moment.
*shrugs* The stock kernel?
Unless you want the functions third party kernels bring to the table, I don't see a good enough reason to swap the stock kernel for another.
That's what I was thinking. With Glados kernel I had problems with restarting after the screen turns of, also with Matr1x kernel. Also I read that there are restarting issues with IMO ezekeel kernels. Yes I know that probably the most stable it's the stock kernel, but there is problem with battery, I had more juice with GB and CMD 7. That's why Google paused ICS update on Nexus. But probably I will stick with Stock Kernel because for me it's better to have less battery for now instead random restarts. I hate when my phone it's not in perfect state.
Just managed to get ezekeels CFS on there and I get the reboot bug after going to standby.
Looking for updates but the thread is huge. Yet to try BFS.

You can try and turn off deep idle for your reboots.
Solves the problem 99% of the time (totally made up stat that could actually be true)
But actualy that function (deep idle) it's the most impotant thing in the kernel. It gives more battery time. Other thing are just fancy. More battery and no hickups, I dont need overclocking because I dont play games.

Deep idle gives more battery time under certain conditions (screen off but not completely idle, playing music for instance). It won't really give you more battery time if your phone is actually idle with the screen off.
But according to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297535 I understood differently. Maybe you are right, I'am still noob to all of this.

The first post that you linked actually just confirms what I said.
Ezekeel said:
Since this is just theory and Morfic noted that his experience seems to indicate otherwise and that limiting the CPU frequency does actually decrease the battery drain, I put this theory to the test and logged the battery charge over 10h of FLAC playback in Airplane mode with the screen switched off.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) Playing FLAC (not idle)
2) Screen off
Pre-requisites are met.
So as I understood the battery consumption is reduced only if you listen music, because you can't do anything else when the screen is off. And the deep idle is working only in standby mode (screen off).

Deep idle only shows savings if there is tasks running while the screen is off VS the same situation without deep idle.
So for someone doing commuting (like simms22 for example) and listening to music for around an hour, they'll lose less battery with deep idle than without.
You won't actually save battery if your phone is actually idle with deep idle enabled.
It's not some kind of magical function that makes your phone use less battery doing tasks with the screen on, deep idle disables certain components of the phone while executing tasks with the screen off, instead of having it "at full speed" as if the screen was on.
Now I understood. Thank you very much.

No problem. I think Deep Idle is probably the mod by Ezekeel surrounded by the most misconceptions.
Most new users want it absolutely but don't seem to know why.
On His Glados kernel I noticed that Android OS was using 20%-21% of the battery and on the stock kernel 30%-31%.
Android System was using around 14% and on the stock around 19%.
Ok, have you decided to give the Glados 2.2 another go? I believe I have finally tweaked it so that it is stable for me.
Before I was getting restarts within 30 seconds of the screen turning off. I have cornered this (on my phone at least) to a problem with NSTools auto-setting the lower frequency to 100mhz. Changing it back to 200mhz and I have yet to see the system restart itself. Im not overclocked, because I dont see the point as everything is fairly snappy with this new kernel. I dont really play games on it so Im not fussed.
I did used NSTools and the frequency was set to 200mhz and I had system restarting on screen off. Using stock ICS with Glados 2.2
Also I had green annoying flickr on locking and unlocking the screen.
Hi,
First post, be kind, I'm just wondering if you can use a Kernel such as Matr1x with the newly released ICS 4.0.4 stock rom ?
I still think battery life on this is pretty bad - I'm thinking this could make a difference if possible to do.
If you have any hints / ideas - would be most welcome.
It's driving me crazy - a charge over night then a charge about 3pm ... I think is a little excessive.
My phone is rooted.
Thanks to you people
Yes you can. download the kernel, reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and then flash the kernel

Maybe. I didnt try matrix kernel 18.5. But the chance that the battery life increases is very high. Also depends on your usage.

Its a newer kernel base .26 vs .22 on the kernel your running the main reason I changed to 18.5 is swap was taken out and fast charge was added.. if neither of those matter to you I don't think there's any huge differences...

I shall see how I go with the 17.5, easy to change round ... cheers for your comments.
The ability to change your governors and IO schedulers should help battery life.
I've been using the combo for a bit over a day now and the battery is pretty great when on WiFi. About 5-7% per hour of screen on time and playing games like Temple Run or Boost 2
It will help! Use the CFS version. That tends to be a bit more stable. next, get and app called NStools. Set your min speed to 200, and max to 800. Then set the liveOC to 105. On the first page at the bottom tap it and pick noop. Set govorner to smartassV2.
I get a day and half with this setup (On CNA 1.6)

Set LiveOC to 100% or raise the voltages. Do the former if you havn't played with voltages before.

Are you using the stock charger? mine does the same thing if I plug it into a blackberry charger.
May I suggest getting a stand alone battery charger and an extra battery or two and then you will never have to plug the charger into your phone again.

Kind of a noob here but I got my HTC Sensation XE back from repair not more than a week they did a software update and I'm on the stock ICS ROM with HTC Sense 3.6 I think 3.33, anyway, using it for 10-15 minutes by just browsing through the homescreen or settings makes my phone warm up like crazy, to around 52 degrees celsius it's not yet uncomfortable whilst holding but very annoying. When I play for example Lazors for 10 minutes it heats up to 65 degrees celcius. Is there a ICS build I can use to lower the temperature, or should I undervolt and underclock my phone, and how do I go about doing that, or very drastically, send it back to HTC since it's still under warranty? Also tried CM10.1 build by Albinoman1987 and the phone heats up just as fast as on the stock ROM so I think it's a hardware fault. Any help on solving this would be appreciated. Just for clarification, the part where the SIM and SD card are located gets this hot NOT the battery.

When I sent my phone out for repairs it was for a screen and digitizer replacement. I already expirienced heat problems before repairs but from what I can gauge now, it's gotten worse after repairs, I can't exactly remember how hot it became since I didn't had it for 3-4 weeks.

Well, it sounds like a hardware problem, but I can't really tell you which part is the problem. I'm thinking that the CPU is overheating, and that my suggestion is to try different kernels, and to compare which keeps the CPU the coolest.
You can also install CPU tuner to view the temperature of the CPU and battery.

Since you're using the exact same thing could you do me a favor? Install System Tuner pro on your device and use it by randomly browsing through settings and homescreen, don't launch apps, just use the phones basic functions, do that for 20 minutes, and post your temperature, my CPU gets to 53 degrees Celcius doing that, also my CPU1 is offline and CPU0 runs at 1GHz instead of 1.5, if you do have both CPU's online, it's already a hardware issue. And play angry birds for 10-15 minutes or Lazors, doing that brings it to 63 degrees celcius, if you have lower temperatures, I will send it to HTC immidiately.

Both my cores go up to 1.56 Ghz (I am not o/c), when under use.
I turned on GPS Bluetooth thetering, chrome youtube. Not above 56. 63 is way too high. Your kernel should have rebooted your phone at this temp.

Do your soft buttons get warm especially the first 2? Cause mine does, but no matter, after the weekend it's being picked up by HTC for repairs. It's quite a shame, I got it for almost 2 weeks now after repairs and I can't do anything with it for too long. Although the weird thing is, when System Tuner Pro says 53 or 63 degree celcius it doesn't feel any warmer.
HTC Sensation XE with Beats - Heating up

Hello.
I've been using this smartphone (Vodafone Smart Ultra 6) since 2016, I went through the official upgrade to Android 5.1.1 and then to 6.0.1. Long story short I'm now with TWRP 3.2.3-0 and Lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1.2).
I found some interesting bugs: one is that if you have low battery, about to self power off, and you switch on the torch, it stays on even after the phones is powered off, and you can't turn it off whatsoever, except plugging in the charger and switch on the phone again I guess, but I didn't try it. The matter is that if you let the torch on to let the battery discharge completely, and the light goes off, when you charge it again and switch on the phone you can't switch on the torch anymore, even tho the system claims is on, it doesn't beam any light from the flash led. The only way to "reset" this status is to open the phone, removing the back cover, unscrew 3 screws that hold a tiny bar and manually disconnect the battery (most rightside connector) and then reconnect it. Not even holding the power button helps.
Another bug is that if you turn on the phone, and then, without putting it on stand-by, check with some kind of cpu monitoring app the cpu cores activity, the less powerful cores of the A53 are awake and running. If you put the phone in stand by and then re-awake it up, they are always on sleep or "disconnected" or similar status. Even tho it seems that this doesn't affect performance, so it seems that they doesn't show correct running status but still works.
Last but the most important: the phone THROTTLES at room temperature!!! If you try a cpu intensive app, the cores throttles at 800 MHz or less, and if it heats more it goes down even to 200 MHz stuttering everything! I don't know if it gots bad thermal spread design or is it a thermal sensor bug, since in system monitor apps it shows temperature above 49~50 in idle while room temp is 20 to 23 °C and over 67-68 while running full calculations!
Can anybody confirm or else suggest me some solutions to these issues? Thanks.
