increasing battery life?

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.

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

I use Insert Coin 5.1.1, "Rom Cleaned" with LBE security. With heavy usage (2h music, 1h calls, 1h internet + screen) I can get minimum 14 hours. Same battery on GB stock rom 4h.
When I have fully charged battery on Friday afternoon, during the weekend (only have few phone calls, a little bit wifi) I plug it in at work on Monday with 15-20% left.
I have stock battery.

i have IC 5.1.4 and the battery life his horrible when im using my phone, but during school i underclock to 1.02ghz max turn power saver on and data off and itll last... also have stock battery with 1.5ghz kernel

With ARHD 6.5.1, Sebastian's kernel and 1900 mA anker battery I can do 3 days of light usage, 2 of mid ones and of course 1 of heavy.

ARHD works for about 1.5 days moderate use and 3.5 days on minimal use.
i've never liked a custom kernel, it always eats up my battery faster than stock (based from my experience) even undervolting doesn't make it last longer.

ARHD 6.5.1 battery life is very good.
I am now outlasting my partners iPhone 3GS with heavier use!
I can go a full day and still have 40-50% remaining.
Also there is no need to overclock. I use no frills cpu set to 192 min and 972 max. Very smooth and fast.

I don't understand how you guys are getting such excellent battery life on a Sense rom because I only get those numbers when I'm on Senseless. I guess I just have to try harder

Not sure.
All I can suggest is that you:
Make sure you are on correct radio/RIL
Super wipe
Reflash ROM
Use no-frills cpu and underclock to 972 max 192 min
Disable always on mobile data
Enjoy your phone
I have brightness set to auto. I have unlimited data so rarely use wifi.
Still on 100% from unplugging at 6:30 this morning.

I have very limited data allowance [it's 50MB PAYG for what it's worth, like 1.50 in GBP] and I don't go out much so I just use WiFi at school and home. Radio is on 3.32 although I'm not sure about my RIL. And also I always enjoy my phone. Always
EDIT: RIL is HTC-RIL 4.0.0013HMQ. I always use Kohr-ah's stuff so I'm pretty sure that this was included it the 3.32FW i got from the thread.

There you have it!
You have your CPU set to a minimum of 648 mhz so it will never go any slower than 648 mhz.
I have mine set to the lowest (192 mhz) so that when it's not needed the CPU can run as low as 192 mhz.

Well I already have a profile for screen off. 192-486MHz. Should I still lower it?

I hadn't seen a ROM on my phone that lasts more than 12 hours for moderate to heavy use. I wonder how everyone else is getting 1-2 days of battery life (happy for them, sad for me).
I don't install any other app apart from the stock ones available with the Rom, plus the XDA app. Can someone please share the secret?
Thanks!

give it a few charge cycles. often the battery stats are just screwed up after a new rom. If it is still bad in a few days, then something may be wrong.

Okay, so I've been running Lithium v1.3 for several weeks now, and even with an added overclock and other tweaks, I still have pretty darn good battery life with moderate to heavy usage. I can get a full day's charge running at 1.25 GHz and emailing/texting/calling/gaming throughout the day. Just updating concerns from the OP with my own experiences while running this awesome rom! :good:

do u have a extended battery or have underclock ur processor ....cause seriously i doubt thats even a possible figure lol with 1500mah battery my lg optimus one was running just 7 hours before it died.....with totally heavy usage
what game where u running ....was it some heavy game like nova ...dead space or small time killer??
cause when i play dead space for 2 hours my battery drip to 50% from 100% on stock rom with gprs on

no extended battery for me, i just bought the phone a week back. no extra accessories.. just stock ROM, stock phone and stock charger/battery.
the game i played for 2-2,5hrs was stick cricket, then i played Extreme Skating and Pro Zombie Soccer for 30 min. Today i played Sims 3 for an hour and that took 10% of my battery. I switched on Mobile Hotspot in my phone and used its GPRS on my laptop(tethered) for an hour, that also took 9-10%.
btw, my prev phone was an LG OP1 . Let me know if you want me to check anything else.

than i gues i have issues with battery ....what a coincidence even i got my atrix 2 a week back.....though it was a replacement

We use tekahuna's milestone overclock modules for overclocking.
Changing the cpu speed involves echoing the desired table entry into the /proc/overclock/mpu_opps entry as root.
ie:
Code:
echo 3 1250000000 1375000 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
3 would be cpu slot 3 (3 is the highest on the atrix 2 typically set to 1ghz)
1250000000 is the desired frequency in hertz (1250 with six more zeroes at the end)
and 1375000 is the desired voltage in microvolts (1.375v). Tekahuna has said that 1.4v is the highest that these modules can push this. In my experience, that's not enough extra voltage to make a big difference in max overclock speed.
I recommend extensive testing of an overclock before you alter the init scripts to match. (well if you're using a rom with init built in)

Init.d support can be added to any rom by flashing this

As answersamir stated, it realty depends on the phone. I've clocked as high as 1.3GHz stably but don't really need that high of a clock speed, so I scaled back to 1.25GHz with underclock at 240MHz at echo 0. You'll just have to experiment without the echo 3 settings in the init.d folder making slow (100MHz) incremental jumps to see where your phone can run stable before random reboots or freezing occurs... after changing settings, reboot each time, and run for a while at the new clock speed to test.

use Battery Monitor Widget, charge the phone till you see 100% in that app, A2 shows charge in multiples of 10, so 100% in A2 battery means it reached 95%. Via the BMW app, you can add a widget to your homescreen in counts of 1% so you will see real battery %. Also it will show mAh, so when you charge untill it reaches 100% or 1740/1740mAh then only stop charging. You can see battery graphs and all that.
Hope yours is set to Settings->Battery $ data manager ->Battery mode -> Night-tiime saver
cos mine is
also via that app, it shows for me voltage of ~4113mV and a decent temperature of 33-35 degree celcius while charging.
Install the app and let us know the details. Also hope you are using the motorola charger and connecting it directly other than via usb->pc

Here's a simple step-by-step for overclocking:
Open Root Explorer or download HERE
Navigate to: system>etc>init.d then select the Oc3 with Text Editor
Find the echo 3 value that reads: echo 3 1125000000 61 > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps
Then, using the text editor in Root Explorer, change the echo 3 value from 1125000000 to *up to 1200000000 or even higher. (see note below!)
Hit the "back button" and Root Explorer will ask you to save changes. Confirm the changes, and reboot.
After rebooting, open SetCPU and you will see your changes there.
*You can experiment with your clock speed, and a good rule of thumb is to bump up slowly, rather than making large jumps all at once. Start by going from 1125 to 1150 and reboot. Then, if all is well and you've ran at this higher clock speed for a good 5 to 10 minutes, do the above listed process again and go from 1150 to 1175, and so on until you reach your highest stable overclock speed.

You can also underclock in the same way, by changing the echo 0 values. I set mine to underclock to 240MHz at echo 0. Also, using SetCPU you can change the CPU mode (which, you probably already know) from mot_hotplug to performance to ondemand, etc. Experimenting with these settings can either improve or decrease your battery life with the new overclocked speed.
Also, check out THIS THREAD post by rdavisct that gives further explanation to the topic.

[Q] ARHD vs ViperS vs Elegancia (battery life)

I am okay with all 3 ROMs. But still not satisfied on what I get comparing battery life.
And I prefer battery life preserved from deep sleep.
In my previous device, I can configure it until the state in deep sleep for 6 hours it only consumes less than 4% battery + wifi on + GSM signal(no mobile network because wifi is on).
So I would like to have suggestions on how and what combination is the best.
The most hardcore game I play is NFS Most Wanted.
I personally prefer Sultan's kernel.
(still fuzzy about the OOM settings because android1-7 taught me a little on that, not sure which one is better)
I underclock my device to state badass sio MAX - 918 2P - 594 3P - 756. Min freq is 192. But when device is off it still consumes battery. Sigh. :crying:
I'm open to any suggestions here
If anyone can help me to explain what is PM_FAST and PM_MAX, it would be great too.
Cheers!

I think you should set the minimum freq set at 384 .

Elegancia
hiii :victory::victory::victory:
i have test the 3 roms and i am a heavy gamer too (Modern combat 4)
but the best best stable and batery life is Elegancia sense 3.6
one time i got 8hrs playing whit wifi moden combat 4 ( )
so i hope that my comment will be as experience (google traductor xd)

For me they are all very good ROMs from excellent developers. Battery life is the same for me. The thing that affects more battery is Kernel. I suggest you stick with bricked, cause it gives the best battery overall, especially on standby.

I cannot said what the temperature is when I use 3G as my data package is out for this month already, but I think the temperatures provided by you are normal.

Well, don't think so. My phone also heats up during charging when I use it. I'm not sure if this work or not but you of course when you wan't can enable option that Nexus 4 has. It's like when a phone reach certain temperature a cpu/gpu clock is lower to prevent battery overheated.
I don't have it enable as mostly I don't play or do anything more stressful that will make phone hot.

dude you have a fit right...oh you sold it, still that device was about half as powerful okay 1/3 rd yet the battery temp with 0 activity and mostly in deep sleep is at 30 C.
now xperia L is way more powerful so should get a tad bit hotter too right(of course that's based on CPU activity) try it put is down for say two hours no charging , no nothing so that in deep sleep(lowest freq) also no 3g(that has its own daemon that eats cpu power i.e. causes cpu to work and hence battery drain and heat). wifi is okay(stable connection hence minimal cpu usage as no reconnections).
now check yor battery temp should be around 35C so your device is fine.
all this is based on stock heat and power management cant comment on custom kernels.

if you are on a custom kernel the best practice is to uv and NOT oc also change the governor to Interactive since thats far better than performance.(spimply put performance goes to top cpu freq even when not required and slowly scales down while interactive scales up fast and down fast at user touch events) for heating and basic phone wear and tear purposes.
and one of the main reason along with more ram(i mean lower bloat hence more free ram) that i want a cyanogen mod ROM.

Before and after playing candy crush.lol
When charging,it will up to 37-39 degrees

Qualcomm makes the MSM8230 chip that you see in L, there are 4 different "types" based on how it meets their quality standards. These are Slow, Nominal and Fast (Faster is on Higher end chips like APQ8064). The main difference IIRC between these types is how stable each can handle undervolting. CPUs that are "Fast" for example come pre-configured at a lower nominal voltage than a "Nominal" type CPU, and more so than a "Slow" type. IIRC, there's like only a -50mV difference between Fast and Slow out of the box, however Fast CPUs should be able to handle lower voltages than Slow-type.
This may explain why some people complain higher temp than others on account of same tasks. Although there can be other reasons. I'm not quite sure.
To find out what binned CPU you have, I recommend the following:
YOU MUST BE ROOTED! And installed busybox
1) Install Terminal Emulator
2) Reboot your phone
3) Open Terminal Emulator, and type:
su
dmesg | grep PVS
(if you don't see anything, try it.immediately after fresh reboot)
For example I've fast binned cpu

So basically, far as I understand I got Fast CPU which isn't going to be as hot as the Slow type due to lower voltage ?

then go for ondemand the performance might be a tad bit slower than preformance governor but your battery life should be better along with the heating...also no oc.

Ya bro i also face the same..when i use my phone during charge time..and normally it is about 35-40. @Dark Passenger what are stats about your XL? Can u post it here?

I have a fast binned CPU
The result number shows the characteristic of cpu binned (AFAIK) Source : http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/qualcomm-cpu-binning-is-yours-slow-nominal-fast-or-faster.2842/page-5
1 : slow
2: normal
3: fast
4: faster
