SetCPU x10 mini Settings - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Could anyone please tell me the settings and profiles that will give my x10 mini the best battery save? thanks

actually there is already a preset for that ..the "powersave" one..

Easy, just put both bars in 122880MHz..
Your phone are going to be rrrrreeeaaaallllyyy slow, but you save lots of milliamps

Use ondemand only. And set min to 122 and max to 600.
I use a profile when screen is off that set min to 128 and max to 320, ondemand too.

Step 1: Once the app has downloaded from the market open it.
Step 2: Hit auto recommend speeds on the first boot up of the app.
Step 3: Click the profile tab at the top.
Step 4: Hit Add Profile.
Step 5: The profile button selects what happens for the CPU to under clock or over clock. The max is the max the CPU will reach; the min is the minimum the CPU will reach.
Step 6: Profile: Screen off. Max: set to minimum. Min: set to minimum. Scaling: set to Conservative. Priority: set to 100. Press okay, and hit Enable.
Thanks to Ultralinks

Has anyone had problems with random freezes and reboots with SetCPU installed? I've had a couple random reboots, so for now I've uninstalled SetCPU to see if the problem goes away. I also have Advanced Task Killer installed but it wasn't set to kill tasks automatically.

Setting SetCPU like that is not very smart. For example, You have Your screen off, someone is calling You, what happens? You get the call ringer after few seconds (sometimes even 10-15!). Reminds of old Symbian versions? But just this. Next example - You have Your screen off, and You receive sms. What happens if You are using Handcent, and have to go to the app manually after phone wakes up? It takes ages... But if You have more than 1000 massages in Your inbox, and a new one come, and You get it after screen wakes up it can even lead to a reboot.
Lets add some random weird situations if You are listening to Your player while the screen is off... using some third party apps, etc...
Setting the minimum CPU for the screen off is not a good idea. Don't do that, or the phone will fail You in most unwanted cases.

so what are you guys using?
I am 122-600 on normal ondemand
and screen off on 122-256 ondemand
Anyone with better profiles?

just dont overclock!!!

why not? I see you are running 729/600.
WHY is your min 600?

Use smartass governor - auto profile, just upgrade to gingerbread.. best profile yet..

Set normal use 122Mhz-729Mhz 100% Priority
Set for charging: 122Mhz-245Mhz (or similar) - 100% Priority
Set for screen off 122-245 (or similar) - 100% Priority
^ this saved me battery when I used my phone for so much else besides calling and texting.

for good batter backup....set the minimum as 122Mhz and the max as 480 Mhz....anything above 748 and below 480 will get u into "restart & restore"...however, there is a overclock module allowing you to overclock to 825 Mhz (but dats juss fr "testin"...u'll lose battery like a freak and will get awfully hot readings)

Only a handful devices supports being clocked to 825Mhz but it's very dangerous.

I doubt you can raise the clock speed to 825Mhz without the phone freezing up.

Some have succeeded, but I doubt their phones lasted very long after that.

Just wondering, is the phones processor under the right side of the keyboard? cause after a few minutes @ 710Mhz, that area is hot. Since I switched to the smartass governor, it rarely is hot anymore (due to the fact it mostly spends time @ 245/320Mhz

Um... question?
Shouldn't the phone go into deep sleep when the screen is off with no cpu activity?
Also install cpu spy and see what the cpu is doing for how long.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy
1. The cpu does not make the most heat... it's the 3G radio.
2. Cpu should deep sleep automatically.
My OC prifile for mini pro:
Standard profile- 122 - 825mhz
If Battery < 15% then 122 - 600 "this gets rid of crashes due to low power OC"
Also.. i asked some of the developers that made the modules for overclocking and undervolting.
It's undervolting there is no upward voltage bump so it can't really nuke a cpu.
But you can nuke the power circuits if you use heavy internet on 3G and charge at the same time.

How can I put over 600 Mhz?
My SetCPU makes 600 Mhz the max. I want to put just on 700, but I can't. What is the problem?

@Felimenta97:
You don't have any overclock-enabler module installed/insmodded or if using any CM-based ROM, the corresponding setting is disabled.
I'm using smartass with 122-320 for screen off and ondemand with 320-729 for normal, no problems so far
The max MHz I could get was 729MHz, 748MHz worked but after some time the CPU got 'pegged' as said in the logcat
Tried the 825MHz setting that only caused a freeze and boot loop, forcing me to do some fast adb commands to get rid of the overclock

[Q] Ultimate setCPU settings for HD2

Hi!
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the best setCPU settings for HD2, with respect to battery life and stability(no lag), are?
I've been searching for the answer on many forums but haven't been able to find a definite answer.
Thanks for your thoughts and recommendations!
Personally, I don't see the need for setCPU. I get no more than 7mA drainage per minute when in standby and my phone is already as fast as I'll ever need it to be. Am I missing something? I can easily get 30+ hours out of my phone with moderate to heavy usage.
Oh, I've had these same battery results on Shubcraft, SuperHD2, Hyperdroid, Bangsters, and the new Desire HD ROM.
Chuckydroid ROM
2.12 Radio
Stock 16gb microsd
Max to 245
Min to 245
That will guarantee long battery life
You really should search tho

I agree with alpinestars
i think ondemand is bit buggy the kernel dont choose the right Scall
sometime its choose 1000mhz with 20% cpu used that is wasting
my setting in adv
Up Threshold 55
down "" 50
freq step 20%
screen off
245-384 interactive
battery 1.5%ph [4 hours test]
its might be laggy a bit from idling to full using like watching movie
but its should stop after 100ms berrly noticeable
Question
Ok BIGGGG newbie question i know but i got to ask this lol, what do you mean by governor=interactive? I mean i know how to use setCPU been using it for a while now but...i don't seam to have that scaling.
I'm using setCPU 2.0.3 full version.
is there a kernel with higher max clockrate than 1190 ??

Seen pics of a Milestone @1400
now thats crazy as they begin with a 600Mhz
I found that 245max 245 min setting in screen off is not a good setting
i use 576 max/min in screen off makes a result that only 1% drop in 75 min
i test it last night when i sleep hehe (average 3-7 ma)
Try these settings I posted in the thread "If you're using setcpu, try these profiles."
Tomorrow I am going to test a set up I just made. It should be called the Step Setup.
The purpose of this setup is to trying to keep the phone running smooth while being proportional and saving battery. This is my first attempt so I will be tweaking it as I test it and receive input.
Keeping the same priority settings as I have listed is crucial because if the order is out of place it will not downclock at the right time.
Here are the settings:
Main - Max:1036 Min:245 Scaling:Interactive (set on boot checked)
Profiles
Screen off - Max:245 Min:245 Scaling:Interactive Priority:100
Battery<10 - Max:384 Min:245 Scaling: Interactive Priority 75
Battery<15 - Max:422 Min:245 Scaling:Interactive Priority 70
Battery<20 - Max:499 Min:245 Scaling:Interactive Priority 65
Battery<30 - Max:576 Min:245 Scaling:Interactive Priority 55
Battery<40 - Max:614 Min:245 Scaling:Interactive Priority 45
Battery<50 - Max:652 Min:245 Scaling:Interactive Priority 35
Battery<75 - Max:768 Min:245 Scaling:Interactive Priority 10
Battery<85 - Max:883 Min:245 Scaling:Interactive Priority 0
Advanced - Min Sample Rate:20000
This should be speedy and give great battery life. If your kernel doesn't allow Interactive scaling try setting everything to On Demand and in the advanced tab set the Up Threshold to 30.
EDIT: Using this with a combination of the VBN Android Rom has achieved some insane battery life. Yesterday I listened to music for a majority of the day, on and off, using the internet a few times and texting and when I went to bed the battery was around 30%, and that was around 12 hours of having my phone on me. My battery is old and has been charged a lot, a new battery or extended battery would provide crazy results.

CPU Tuner

Has anyone tried this app? I'm getting improved battery life from how it handles the processor in idle mode. After 3 hours I normally would lose 10% being idle, now 2%. Using it the same with same background apps running. Its free too.

Are you on streak droid 1.5.1?
when I use setcpu it cause my device to reboot on it's own.
I uninstalled it and all is well now but want to put it back because it did really well for my battery life.
Forgot what frequencies I had set in the profiles but I was using on demand scaling.
I had charging/full oc'd, screen off between the lowest and something around 450, batt < 30% same thing, and temp > 50c between lowest and 768
I'll reinstall it now and set your profiles and see if that helps.
Also using adw.launcher
---UPDATE---
So i reinstalled SetCpu and changed the lowest from 128 to 245 and no longer rebooting.. think that was the issue.

...And does it still keep rebooting? I notice that on re-boot, it says max speed something like 768MHz, even though both slider bars are set to minimum.
I set screen on to be performance, put streak into standby and left in my pocket for an hour. I cam back to find my streak pretty warm abd the battery practically flat?? Don't know if this was a setCPU issue as it's never happened before???

stick this file in sdcard
and start setcpu.
then menu device selection
Show other frequency sets
scroll down to Custom Frequencies
ok
ok
and it should work fine from then on in with steves O/C kernels( you only need do it once)
and it will set from 248 -1194Mhz if you want to add the extras over voltage O/C clocks from 1.51 then you can edit the setcpu.txt manually.
I don't use the last two as on mine I get worse scores than with 1194mhz so I didn't include them in that text file
yeaaah
Yeaah, CPU Tuner is awesome app. A set CPU frequency on my HTC Wildfire on 691 MHz and phone is faster

[Q] CPU clock governing app

Hi!
Is there an app that can change the CPU governor according to useage? I mean, I'd like to have the governor on "ondemand" setting, while I'm not using the phone (the screen is black), but it would be cool if an app would set the governor to "performance" as soon as the screen lights up. It could be done with Tasker perhaps, but Tasker doesn't want run on my phone, doesn't even want to install...
Is there an app for this? Thanks for the answer!

Use Set CPU, go the 2nd page in that and there you can select profiles.
For example suppose your kernel allows you upto 667 MHZ, then you can select in the profile something like :
When in call, max 300 Mhz.....or Screen Off, Max 200 MHz.
in the 3rd page of Set CPU, it also allows you to undervolt, you may try with -50 in the values.

My default profile is 390-1170 MHz with performance scaling, and I've set up a profile for screen off with 390-780 MHz with ondemand scaling. I suppose I can set it to lower frequencies as you suggested.
How does undervolting affect CPU usage? I don't know much about these things

[Q] Using Setcpu on razr xt910.

Hi all,
I couldn't find the relevant information anywhere else, so thought I should ask if someone has experienced this.
Well I'm using setcpu on my razr and it is quite a brilliant app to be honest, helps me save battery quite alot by setting up profiles.
But recently I've been having crashing problems with the phone whenever i set the scaling to hotplug.
Previously, i was just using the default scaling, I guess Interactive it was, and was working quite happily. And, then i read about advantages of using Hotplug scaling, that it enables/disables cores depending on the amount of load on the cpu, which is really good for saving battery.
And before how I was using the phone, was to set a profile for screen off to drop the cpu down to 300MHz, using the default scaling.
But as soon as I changed from default scaling to Hotplug, it starts crashing randomly, and I've to restart the phone using keys.
Scenarios tried:
- Main scaling: Hotplug -- Screen off scaling: Interactive, Ondemand, Performance, Hotplug -- Processor Max: 300MHz
Result: crashing as soon as u turn the screen on, or sometimes while the screen is off.
- Main scaling: Hotplug -- Screen off scaling: Interactive, Ondemand, Performance, Hotplug -- Processor Max: 600MHz
Result: crashing as soon as u turn the screen on, or sometimes while the screen is off.
- Main scaling: Interactive -- Screen off scaling: Hotplug -- Processor Max: 300MHz
Result: In process of checking, hasn't crashed yet for more than an hour. :fingers-crossed:
Can someone kindly point out the obvious mistake I'm making here?
I really want to use hotplug, both as main and screen off.
FYI: I haven't done anything else to the phone apart from gaining root access.
i had issues with setcpu, i recommend no frills cpu control, and setting it down that low more then likely is also an issue, the second core i couldn't see turning off at a low clock and also i think it would max out easily causing instability (especially ICS) and above id say. uninstall setcpu give no frills a try and let me know would be glad to help with what i can!
Thanks for ur reply, yes I'll try no frills, but
mr4r4n said:

I thought the same, but while i was using interactive scaling, it worked perfectly, no issues at all. Probably because both cores were active by default, so both on 300MHz when screen was off.

No, I've checked cpu usage visa adb shell, and if the screen off is in hotplug, like what it is right now, the phone stays at 300MHz with the second core turned off, most of the time. And the phone has been running now for more than 3hrs with screen off profile set to Scaling: hotplug -- Max: 300MHz, and the main scaling set to Interactive.
The problem I've seen is, when main scaling is set to hotplug. Doesn't matter whatever u set in screen off profile, it crashes if the main scaling is set to hotplug. But, if no screen off profile is set then, hotplug in main works flawlessly.
That's weird. I've been using SetCPU for a year or so on my RAZR GB/ICS and never encountered any crashes with hotplug or the default ICS's interactive.
I have even tried unofficial governers like smartass2, boostedassv2 and etc, no crashes.
I personally set my phone to use u/c 200-200 for screen off and I find it really saves a lot of battery, and even o/c to 200-1300 when it's on.
Are you using the setcpu from xda or from playstore? I'm using the one from playstore with Razr asia ICS.

[GUIDE][U]HotRod and Maintenance for Xperia U

Hello everybody, today I present my guide or actually the procedure of modifications presently installed on my Xperia U.
1. Grab your Xperia U (I presume it is bootloader unlocked, rooted and installed Stock ICS based firmware)
2. Battery Supercharging-
a. Let your battery charge to 100%
b. Unplug charger and Reboot into CWM and wipe battery stats
c. Reboot into system and use phone as normal until battery is exhausted. (Now your battery is calibrated)
d. For maintenance of life of battery pack thereafter, let battery drain to not below 10%
e. Always charge battery short of 100% i.e. 85-95%
f. Once in a month, shut down your phone at 30-60% charge, remove your battery, and just leave it outside the phone for an hour or so.
Be compassionate, as Gandhiji had said
g. If you want to recalibrate your battery, follow steps 2a-2c. Recalibration for Li-poly is not that essential, since it has no memory but you can do it once a month or after flashing a new ROM.
h. Never leave your battery discharged for very long. Your Li-Poly battery will suffer a deep discharge.
3. CPU Control
a. Download BrainsKernel or Munjeni's Kernel
b. Install it using flashtool or fastboot (i presume you know how to do so)
c. Download your favourite CPU Control App (setCPU, noFrills CPU Control etc.)
I recommend CPU Tweaks as it gives you info on both cores at the same time and also has the time graph for when CPU is asleep (setCPU lacks that)
d. My recommended governor setup-
[Try to use a governor with inbuilt hotplug technology (hotplug means ability to control cores i.e. turn of second core when not required and turn it on when required) Eg. Hotplug, Lulzactive, PegasusQ, Hotplug etc.]
For normal use-
LulzactiveQ 800/200 MHz
For Music(Screen Off)
OndemandAX 800/200 MHz
For Gaming(Dead Trigger etc.)
Ondemand/Hotplug 1000/200 MHz
TIPS-
Remember that most governors with a screen off profile(Smartass, LulzactiveQ, OndemandAX) built in have a wake frequency (CPU immediately jumps to that frequency when screen on) is around 500-700 MHz, so try too keep your Max CPU limit at 800 MHz to prevent screen on delay. This is required as Xperia U has no 600 MHz intermediate CPU step, it has only 400 and 800. 400 is below the wake frequency so capping CPU at 400 MHz will cause lag during wakeup.
For me, using LulzactiveQ saves more power than SmartassV2 or Powersave. This is due to the fact that LulzactiveQ shuts off my second core much faster and much more dynamically than SmartassV2 of Powersave.
LulzactiveQ has a screen off profile of setting CPU speed to around 200-400 MHz while OndemandAX caps it at 500 MHz.
So OndemandAX is better for music as there is no tearing in playback when screen is turned off.
e. If you want to forcibly keep one core off (NOT RECOMMENDED. USE A HOTPLUGGING GOVERNOR INSTEAD) use XCore. It works on Xperia U and Xperia P. Check out the Play Store for further details.
4. RAM Management (Android does this on its own, usually. But you can help it)
a. NEVER use a Task Killer. Android kills tasks much more dynamically than your brain does
b. Delete all bloatware you do not need. This will prevent some background processes from being run and it will save some RAM.
c. Do not use a separate app for Facebook unless absolutely needed. (XDA App is fine )
d. That widget, sitting on your homescreen, which hasn't been touched for the past 1 week can be trashed.
5. GPS Superiority (You'll never use AGPS anymore)
a. Download an app called FasterGPS from the Play Store.(needs root)
b. Open the app and choose you continent and region. If your region isn't there, choose the closest region.
c. Get your ass out in the open and get a lock in less than a minute only on pure integrated GPS.
6. General Tweaks
a. Go to developer options in settings and set Animation Scale to 0.5x
b. Get a good statusbar mod (I recommend Xperia Tab n Grid Jelly Bean).
Why? So that you turn off the WiFi and BT and Packet Data when not required. I wouldn't do that earlier as I was too lazy to go all the way to settings to do so. Now I use the notification toggles and save some power
c. Turn OFF your phone and then charge it.
d. Use Lux Dash, an app to control your brightness. At night, set it to sub-zero to save power.
7. Physical Tips
a. Get a case for your phone. Incase you drop it, it will protect your phone.
b. I know you're tempted to take your phone to the pot and have fun but NO. People have lost phones like that.
c. Every week, clean your phone with a spectacle cloth.
d. Do not overstress your phone, or else you risk your hardware. I know they are designed to face all this but as Gandhiji said, compassion.
Hope these tips help you and your phone
