Ok I am a newbe.....so be gentle on me.
I have had my droid2 global for a week now..almost
My first one had rebooting(randomly on its own) issues and had to go back to the store.
This one is much better and my brother in law told me to root it and back it up and I did.
I also purchased an extended battery and am getting a little longer results.
So the Droid2 global has a 1.2 speed processor vs the 1.0 of the regular Droid2.
So I also notice battery life is shorter with the new global....probably due to the processor.
So I would assume it would be safe to UnderClock the processor to 1.0 and get a little more battery life...and less heat.
Brother in law says probably down to 800 but hey I don't wanna push it.
How do I go about doing that, I know most people wanna overclock...
Thanks in advance!
I use SetCPU to underclock to 1ghz. It saves bat and is still pretty fast. Download setcpu from their website free, or buy it from the marketplace. Cheers!

yeah, use setcpu to underclock, it supportst profiles so it changes frequencies depending on what profiles you have, which is very useful, i have mine overclocked to 1330MHz until it reaches 75% batterylife, which it is underclocked to 1150MHz, then at 40% i have it underclocked down to 800MHz.
Mines runs at 800 till 20% battery, then it goes to 600.
Mine is running Fission so its still pretty fast/responsive.

The processor could definitely be a part of it, but there is one other major difference between the Droid 2 and the Droid 2 Global that could account for a D2G draining battery faster than an identically configured D2. Namely the "Global" part of the Droid 2 Global.
The phone has two different Cellular chips, often referred to as "basebands", but being as "baseband" is a shortening of "cellular baseband processor" which is actually only part of the chip, I prefer the term "cellular modem", since the chips look to the main processor much like a cellular modem does to a PC (indeed they are often exactly the same chips).
One of these cellular modems is a 3GPP2 family modem (supporting CdmaOne CDMA2000 1xRTT, CDMA2000 EVDO Rev.A), which is the one used in the united states by Verizon.
The other cellular modem is a 3GPP family modem (supporting GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA (a.k.a. UMTS), HSDPA, and HSUPA). That is the one that that is used internationally, as very few countries besides the US have cellular providers that use 3GPP2 family standards.
Now back to the battery life. It will probably not surprise you to find out that having both Cellular Modems running, will use more power than just running one of them. So turn off the one you are not using. I'm guessing you live in the US, and are not using the GSM one.
To turn off the one you are not using follow the steps in the following video, except you will not be choosing global mode.
In case you don't want to watch the video, the steps are:
Go to the home screen.
Push the menu key.
Choose settings.
Choose Wireless & networks
Choose Mobile Networks.
Choose Network modes.
Select the correct option.
Now, which option is correct? Well that depends on how many options are in the list. There will either be 3 options, or more than 3 options. Unmodified phones will have only 3 options as fair as I know.
If you have three options, they are "Global" (Both modems on), "CDMA" (The one you want is the US), and "GSM/UMTS" (the one you want elsewhere).
If there are more than 3 options, for the US you want "CDMA / EvDo auto" for the US, or "GSM / WCDMA auto" elsewhere. "But wait", you ask, "What are the other options for?" Well, they let you choose to never use the 3G protocols, or only ever use the 3G protocols. They are not likely to be useful to most people, which is why the unmodified phone only shows 3 options.
So I would assume it would be safe to UnderClock the processor to 1.0 and get a little more battery life...and less heat.

Believe it or not, that would not really be underclocking. The processor turns its speed up or down based on temperature and use. TI calls this "Smart Reflex" technology. The processor in most laptops also does this, but Intel calls it "SpeedStep", and AMD calls it "PowerNow!".
The minimum speed for the Droid 2 Global is 300 MHz, and the maximum is 1.2 GHz. All you would be doing is telling the CPU not to go all the way to 1.2 GHz.
Actual under-clocking would imply the ability to run lower than 300MHz, which you probably don't want to do.
As others have pointed out the tool you use to set a minimum or maximum speed is called SetCPU. Unfortunately it only works on "rooted" devices, so you would need to "root" your phone first.

its actually a bit tricky, i use droid overclock by jrummy to overclock the processor using his !experimental! module which works on the d2g, and i have to use setcpu to actually take advantage of the overclock as it seems droid overclock doesnt actually set the cpu speeds i want on my d2g.
alright so download jrummys droid overclock and it sort of tells setcpu what the new max clock speed is, then use setcpu to set that new max speed?
edit: i cant figure it out. i went into droid overclock and changed the max freq under advanced/custom, saved the preset and applied it. nothing changed in setcpu.. :/ im not doin somethin right
Did you go into settings in droid overclock and enable the expirimental module? If you did, then set the frequency however high you want it, then in set cpu make a profile with the new frequencies. To get it to set I used quadrant score, don't know why but that seems to get it to work

ok what exactly are your settings in droid overclock? and tell me like im a retard baby step by step what to do hahaha. i got it to do the overclock but it seems like the 2 programs might be interfering with each other it gets super laggy and doesnt like me.
Ok, open up do, press the menu button, in settings, there should be something about an experimental module, enable that. Then in the set cpu frequency thing, set the frequency to what you want. Make sure you don't have profiles for do, to ensure this, go into the menu with the bars for setting the min and max frequencies, you'll see a "profiles" menu. Open it and make sure profiles are not enabled. Then open up setcpu and go to the profiles menu. Enable profiles in setcpu and create a profile with the max frequency that you set, and make sure you set it to act when the phone is charging (make sure you're charging your phone). Then leave this and open up quadrant benchmark and run it. After this is done, your cpu frequency should have changed. I don't know why it only changes when I use quadrant, but after it changes you no longer need to use quadrant to have the frequencies changed. If its stable on the frequencies you set, then you can open up do and set the frequency class you have on boot.
Hope this helps.

I've been underclocked at 600mhz as of last night for a battery experiment. The phone shows no real signs of being slower except in the quadrant scores.
I hope its drastic. I've also shut down the gsm modem too.
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App
@rusty815 I downloaded DO by jrummy and did the steps that you said but couldn't get it to work. Still max cpu says 1.2. I used set cpu to set a profile at 1.2 when charging/full, then quadrant standard to run a full benchmark. BUT nothing changed the max cpu settings. Am I doing something wrong? Do I set the max cpu through a droid overclock profile or some other setting?
Sent from my Rooted Droid 2 Global
You have to set the max cpu to be you're oveeclocked frequency, if you can't set you're overclocked frequency then something isn't right. When I change the frequency set, let's say to overclock to 1.3, tyen I can go to set cpu to go to 1.3, but it won't reach that speed until I run something cpu intensive I believe
Sent from my WICKED FAST Droid 2 Global with fission using XDA app
any of the speeds that setCPU shows you will be safe and stable. As mentioned above, you'd just be lowering the maximum available clock speed. I found 1000 felt just as fast as 1.2, though the quadrant scored dropped from ~1700 to ~1550. Even 800 feels indistinguishable, while quadrant scores drop to the 1200s. Need for Speed still runs snappy, though.

It is my understanding that those options really only make a difference in really old 3GGP2 (i.e. CDMA series) phones. With modern phones the system called a Preferred Roaming List is used in preference to that setting.
The PRL lists what towers your phone can roam on (i.e. those which Verizon has a roaming agreement). Please note that Verizon has agreements for free roaming with some US networks, which are part of Verizon's "extended network", and are not considered roaming for billing purposes under most plans, but is still technically roaming according to 3GPP2 standards.
The PRL also has an option as to what to do with towers that are not on the list. Most providers set the do not connect option.
Some (mostly tiny) providers though leave the option set to connect if there are no towers on the list in range. AIUI, that is the only case where the option you found has any meaning. The Home only option would not connect to those towers despite the PRL option, while the Automatic would.
For your purposes it really makes no difference, as I'd be shocked to find that Verizon's PRL was set to allow connections to unknown towers.

So I've been searching the forums for a good thread on optimizing setcpu for specifically the Mytouch 4G. I couldn't find one so after i read up on it i created this profile. The tweaks that I've found make this run very fast and gets me easily 18 hours of battery life, and that is with moderate usage. These setting should work for most if not all devices. I don't get any real noticeable lag even when turning the screen on. I'm Using SetCPU 2.1.0 on a Grankin01 Kernel on a Stock ROM, and I'm also using "Autokiller Memory Optimizer" using moderate preset. Hopefully people will post there profiles anyway here it is.

Check out this link it has all you'll need to know http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/210253-setcpu-guide.html
What you want is your device to throttle based on the load being put on it. When you aren't doing much i.e. reading a text it should be clocked at 245760 for example because that's not a demanding task. and versely when you play a graphics intensive app or something, it should use just over the maximum amount of cpu power needed to run the app so the app runs smooth. but wont waste battery by overclocking to 1708800 when only a speed of 1017600 is needed. For this i use "conservative" on SetCPU because it will allow more customization.
My advanced settings for SetCPU are as follow. i haven't use CPU Tuner but hopefully it's similar.
Sample Rate you want kinda low 200000 is what i have and i don't get much if any lag.
Up Threshold is at what percentage of processor usage that the clock speed is increased. for me its set to 60. in other words at 60% load on the processor it will start to increase the clock speed.
Down Threshold is the load percentage where the clock speed will be reduced. i have mine set to 33.
Ignore Nice Load will just ignore nice processes. This includes system i believe. i have mine set to 0.
Grabbed this from a mac forum but it should apply.
"A process's priority is determined with a complex formula that includes what the process is doing and how much CPU time the process has already consumed. A special number, called the nice number or simply the nice, biases this calculation: the lower a process's nice number, the higher its priority, and the more likely that it will be run."
Frequency Step is how much of a jump the CPU will take to meet the load. mine is set low, (12) because most processes and apps wont need a whole lot of boost to run smoothly. For my device on average it will be under 768000 which is what you want and is where the battery saving really comes in. Because the CPU is under-clocked most the time its using a lot less battery but is still running everything smoothly.
A lot of people set there devices to ondemand because it's, "very responsive." although true its responsiveness comes from big steps in clock speed as opposed to the small ones that will most likely get the same job done. i.e. a clock speed of 902400 is more then enough to run the process quickly ondemand will jump to 1708800 to handle the same task.
copied from the above link at android forums.
" * ondemand - Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.
* conservative - Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.
* performance - Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking.
* powersave - Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times.
* userspace- A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor."
Please post in General section, not dev.
Well i changed my setting a little to be a bit more responsive and i haven't noticed a increase in battery usage. I set my max speed to 1516800 and min to 368640 and its running quite nicely.
Anyone else getting good result with the conservative setting?

Frequency rules saves do save a lot of battery. Combine with undervolting and memory optimizations and you'll get big saves. But no setcpu is solely for cpu settings.
Whats the most stable speed to run this at?
So far i haven't had any stability issues on the Grankin01 Kernel. They ironed out most the stability issues in the Kernel its self. I do however keep my main profile around 1708800 - 1516800, generally 1516800, and min is set to 368640 and I've had no problem not even a signal freeze or crash. I've also run at 1708800 for most of the day plugged in and no issues other then heat. So i think is up to mostly prefrence.
I'm using a stock rom with bloatware removed and as i mentioned the Grankin01 1.7 OC Kernel.
Here is what I'm talking about. Sometimes the auto detect or something is wrong and I get this screen instead of the one you get. I don't understand why. I change ROMS a lot and I don't know if it is ROM specific or not. I'm currently on the cm7 preview from Zinx. Although I have seen it on other ROMS also as I posted before. Here is a pic.
Ignore the dropcap2 as I had just used it to take the picture.

Looks like from your screen shot that the profile SetCPU is using is on On demand, interactive or some default. What Kernel are you using? that may be the issue. If not a kernel issue. Then it may be a issue with CM7 and how SetCPU interacts with it. try disabling all your profiles and make sure that your main profile is for sure set to conservative.
Nothing else make a backup and try a different Kernel. Grankin01 has a few great ones and even a CM7 kernel with tunes and tweaks. As well as Gorilla. but id try the CM7 Kernel Grankin01 has first my buddy is running it and hasn't had problems. Just make you do a full backup to avoid a FUBAR situation.

You are right it was the main profile was set to on demand and when set to on demand these available options change.

Good evening all,
I am currently running vb with the latest above kernel and xda-edition of setcpu...
My question, has anyone found voltages that are stable?
I have always/only used tegrak, when adjusting the voltages I am able to adjust "internal" as well as "core" voltages, as you may know setcpu only allows the adjustment of one voltage. So, I set all levels to the "internal" voltages that worked for me on tegrak(scaling set to smartass), everything was working fine until I rebooted the phone... At that point the phone would boot then freeze after the third media scan, I had to flash back to the b1 kernel to get back up and running.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

You're trying to undervolt? Anton's b5 in undervolted. I'd stick with his recommended values.
How do you actually implement these voltages? I've only used Tegrak so this is new
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
QUIETLYloud , I dont't have paid Tegrak so I cannot make a thorough test.
I tried using very old Ultimate version available someplace on the web, and it does in fact seem to mess the phone up. I didn't need to reflash, but had to uninstall Tegrak, reboot, clear caches, and rescan SD for errors. Google says that there were issues with Tegrak module and custom kernels, but they were supposedly fixed around version 1.4.
I tied the new free version 1.6.7 from Market. It doesn't let me do much (like setting on boot), but at least it seems to work correctly with frequencies.
The setup with OC kernel is a little different. Before, if you wanted to OC, you would go and enable CPU Max Frequency, which would replace 1 GHz. Do not go there! The kernel already has all overclocking frequencies available. Instead set the Scaling to the highest frequency you want to use (let's say 1.2 Ghz, which is CPU Level 2). Then go to Optimization and set desired voltages for the frequencies you chose. No need to change anything for frequencies above you max scaling, the CPU will not go there anyway. Maybe it's a good idea to completely clear Tegrak data and start setting it up form scratch.
Let me know if you succeed.
Btw common Google knowledge doesn't seem to recommend lowering internal voltages. You will not gain much, there is just not a lot of current draw there. It's the core that draws a lot of current.
EDIT: Hmm... Tegrak seems to have a problem with smartassV2 governor. If the scaling in Tegrak is set to use anything but all frequencies, including 1.4 Ghz, the governor will never lower the frequency from the highest selected. The kernel itself (with SetCPU or without) doesn't have this problem, it's only when proprietary Tegrak module is loaded.
AntonX...
I decided to scrap tegrak for the time being and use what you recommended with setcpu and left voltages alone until I have a better understanding, since doing so haven't had any problems
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Btw I said before I set the default voltages kind of safe, even if they are slightly undervolted. I'm running the kernel UV-ed a little more with SetCPU for second day without any issues. Here are my numbers right now:

Hi guys
I apologize for some noobness coming this way, but I don't understand. Kernel beta5 is oc/uv - what does it mean if I don't use setcpu/tegrak?
Will kernel behave other than prior versions?
And if I decide to do use setcpu? What good does it make if uv makes no change (according to Antonx) and oc will only drain the battery even more, I mean, phone is pretty much fast, so why bother oc it?
Thanks!

Basically, im curious to find out how to remove a specific frequency from a governor, im using oc/vu beater on an htc mytouch 4g with affinity and i cannot seem to get 460800mhz stable no matter what voltage i try, so i want to just remove that frequency altogether.
thanks!!
Moved to General Q&A.
Does no one know how to do this? Is it even possible? I need to remove it from my governor.

There is probably no way to do this unless you are able to strip the kernel apart yourself and reprogram it with that frequency missing - or you ask the Dev very nicely to do so just for you.
Ok, gotcha. Not quite sure why I cannot get that freq stable though

Probably just some glitch in your hardware. All phones are built within certain tolerance levels which means that while 99% of a model will work perfectly at a setting, there will likely be 1% which have problems. That's part of the reason why it is possible to over-clock and under0volt in the first place - because the manufacturers leave a tolerance gap to ensure all their devices work well.
It's funny though, because if I test the frequency locked at 460, as opposed to frequency scaling between 122 through 1.2, using stability test it passes fine, however when I do the frequency scaling, it will lock up, and report that it failed at 460,800. I've tried increasing the voltage for 460 as well as the frequencies one step above and below 460, still locking up and reporting 460 as the issue... It's quite puzzling.
And my phone will randomly crash and lock, but every freq is reporting an OK when separately tested.
Hi I had this problem with one kernel and put it down to that. The same thing however has happened with others.
Has anyone else had this problem? I've used Trickster mod donate to try setting the frequency. Even with the frequency lock on they jump. They seem to jump to random frequencies, but 1.7 is the most common.
Can someone recommend one that does not do this and is good on battery?

Has anyone else had this problem? I've used Trickster mod donate to try setting the frequency. Even with the frequency lock on they jump. They seem to jump to random frequencies, but 1.7 is the most common.
Can someone recommend one that does not do this and is good on battery?

What do you mean exactly? Do you mean the minimum frequency jumps up? If so, yes this is called mpdecision and is present in stock based kernels, unless they explicitly give you a way around it.
It's not that. The kernel I'm using has a scaling range of 300- 2265. I'll set these as it's limits but both ends will move, sometimes to the same freq. 1728 is what they jumped to when I set them just now.
I'm not talking about where the scheduler moves to but the upper and lower limits it has to move about in are what won't stay.

Trinity doesn't seem to do this on my phone so I'll go back to that, but Ive never had this problem

Downloaded cpu tweaks and it shows what I set, but Trickster mod does not so I'm dumping trixtermod as it's showing stuff that is not set, or appears to as cpu tweaks is showing in real time data I expect to see
