What is the Best Set CPU setting for more Battery Life? thanks

Undervolting the CPU should help extend battery life.
I also underclocked my CPU to 1.15Ghz

I get great battery over clocked at 1.78 24/7
EXTREME!

We need more information.
Are you using a Sensation or Sensation XE?
What ROM are you using?

I set it to default 1.2 on my arhd battaery last enough for a day usage...

+1 works great on OrDoid 2.0.? ......

Bricked, haven't track Anthrax and Faux kernel always seems to have a lower FPS in the UI no matter what rom or version of Android I've tried.

Bricked.
Show always puts out solid stuff!

I'm trying bricked and so far so good
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

Bricked...find battery life better that overclocked kernel. And sweep2wake is great.

SebastianFM Overclocked kernel v1.4.1
This one is the best for me... 1728Mhz version is stable for me... Battery consumption is great (average use with wifi always on can last up to 2 days.. Using with set-cpu app to limit the higher frequency border sometimes when cpu power is not needed..

Faux. Very responsive, great battery life.

another bricked here. i thought sweep-to-wake was just a gimmick but after using it a little while i'd miss it if i couldn't have it. plus bricked is fast and stable and great battery.

Sebastians for my current rom....

I'm also using SebastianFM 1.4.1 kernel at 1782 mhz. Very stable and smooth. The battery life is fine for me, better than stock.

Don't know about anyone else, but I don't use 'kernals'...
I use 'kernels'
Just saying...

I use Faux123 v004, I tried different kernels and this is for me the best, it don't need setcpu to uc when screen is off and battery drain is so good (since 20h30mn I used 25% with normal utilization)..

Bricked

Faux. great battery life.

Bricked. best performance and good battery life. Phone doesn't heat up that much anymore unlike when I was using faux. I love the fact that you can set what are the default values you like for the Max/Min/Screenoff and choose also your preferred GPU OC. Very stable and very balanced.
Using v0.61
ShowP also offers great support for the kernel and its users. He is now currently working on Sweep2wake and sweep2lock. It's a great feauture that lets you easily wake and lock the screen just by swiping the softkey.

Previously I used viper 1.3.5 with different kernel , screen on time not goes above 3 hour for normal use
Now m happy with elegancia , always 3 + screen on time and I set everything default in aroma except max frequency 1296 , no sweep to wake , stock look , thats it.
Viper also use same default configuration as elegancia.

Hi.You can try Elegancia v3.7.0 (last rom) with sultan kernel and try different governor and scalling range for cpu(with intellidemand governor 384min 1188max for me,very good battery life).Or if you want a JB rom try albinoman`s rom with max cpu 1188 ,badass governor and 2nd phase freq set to 810(now i try and other settings on this rom for best battery life).

[Q] Battery Life On Non-sense roms sucks on 3g!

Yes Another Battery Thread! I KNOW. SPAM. but well, not 100% Spam, But also reasonable.
I have a brand New Sensation XE, Proper S-OFF with all the Fun and Boogie-Woogies.
But Since going from Vipers ICS Roms, which i tried at first (but which ate too Much Ram, and I'm a AOSP Guy.)
To Cyanogen Mod 10.1, And on 3g my battery goes down in like, yes what, I guess an Hour. then its dead. is that Normal?
It wasn't as Terrible on sense. I just wonder? Any smart Android-Hero's to explain?

I think its kernel related, cz on cm 10.1 my phone used to stay at least a day on 3g, so its the kernel or the battery, try flashing stock kernel or another kernel if nothing changes u should get ur battery replaced

So, I Tried Doing a FULL, Wipe, and flashing cm10.1 (the newest i could get.) and that one aosp kernel everyone loves.
Still nothing, sadly... running on 8xxmhz for both cores, Ondemand, Sio.

Damn Boi, I'll look into my 2450mha (said to work perfectly, and fit under original cover.) and Continue using CM.

I get 3 days easily on albino's cm10.1 aosp rom. With an banker battery.
So the ROM isn't the problem. We have hashed battery life questions to death in the ROM's development thread and the answer always comes back to user settings or faulty hardware, usually the battery is just old.
But battery life does NOT suck on all non sense ROMs. That is just bad information.
Give a more specific description of your set up and we can help you improve battery life.

Download battery calibrate on the play store, it wipes your battery stats and writes new ones. Also, check what kernel governor yours is on. Badass or on demand are the best.

Good, Lets get You that Information then.
The device is an Fourteen month old Sensation XE, with that 17xx Battery.
I bought it two weeks ago Used but Just as new, Not even Tiny pocket scratches.
It was Pre-rooted and s-off using the Wiretrick by the Preowner.
Its now Running Albino's CM10.1, (03~05).
My CPU is Clocked at 15xxMhz and 398 Min I believe,
GPU's and stuff Aren't Changed. Its on the Ondemand Governor and SIO I/O Thingy.
-
I Go from Home Charged Everyday, with an HTC Certified dock,
I get from the countryside into the city and Jump onto 3g, the battery stays for a five minutes on "Charged" and jumps down to 95-80-7x and Finally 65 where it takes a little break, that goes in well, an half hour. Then i mostly get really Upset and angry at HTC and Cry out to my Friends with better phones telling how **** mine is, Now i'll get my replacement Batteries and see, I'll instantly report here how they all each Did.
Wish me Luck Developers!

Do not waste your time with this. This is snake oil nonsense. Wiping battery stats has a function, but this isn't it. Wiping battery stats will do nothing to help your battery life. Nothing.
The battery stats are wiped every time it charges anyway.

Your battery is old. That's probably the problem. Use the Banker battery when you get it. That's the sollution. Also you are clocking the CPU pretty high. If you dont have a specific reason to run it at 1.5ghz as the max like gaming or something, back it off to like 1.2.

Yes. Its high.
If you have a specific need for it to be that high, go ahead. That's 1.5 is what the chip is designed for. It can handle it. At 1.7 you are pushing it pretty hard.
But those speeds won't do anything to improve the performance of everyday use like sending texts, making calls, or even in games like angry birds. Ifnyounplay more graphically intensive games, those speeds will be helpful. If you don't they are a waste of battery. Either way though they are using more battery at those speeds, whether you needs those speeds or not.
Backing it off to 1.2 will prevent the device from 'kicking on the afterburners' and dumping battery fast when its at max CPU. Again, if your performance suffers then this isn't the answer for you.
You will also want to use the on demand or badass governors to keep the clock speed regulated. An governor like Performance will keep the CPU running at top speed all the time. The phone will run great, but the battery will die in a hurry.

Well if you need the extra performance then you need it. But the trade off is always going to be decreased battery life with that. Nothing can fix that. Its not a bug, its physics. It takes more gas to go fast.

+1. If you take a look at the manual of your battery, it will say something like "500 recharge cycles over the life of the battery" (this is from the ANKER 1900mAh).. that's around 1,5 - 2 years of use. So depending on how often the previous owner of your Sensation charged the phone, the battery could be dead now.

New Battery
Instead of an "Anker" i got an Pisen Battery, said to have around 1780mha but actually is 1870. It works Perfectly and i get six hours screen on time now. it just still goes weird, and sometimes stays on 72 for long and 39 for long, but works just fine still. Just not a really reliable Percentage. I get to test 3g time tomorrow. Hopefully more than one a half hour and burning hands.
