well, like always every phone is different....do you try to go too low or too high when your phone freezes?
my phone doesnt handle OC very well at all, which is fine cuz id rather preserve my battery over performance anyways.
my uv settings are as follows:
100 mhz: -100 = 850mv
200 mhz: -75 = 875mv
400 mhz: -75 = 975mv
800 mhz: -50 = 1150mv
1000mhz: -25 = 1225mv
the rest ive left alone. i think its a pretty standard uv setting. i prob could go a little lower but havent messed with it for a while.
with this setting i can get up to 30 hours on my phone...but thats also during work while i dont barley use my phone

These settings worked pretty good, the only thing my phone couldn't do wa 850 on the 100mhz setting, i had to dtoo it to 900, and now my phone is conservatively running off of a battery. Great job bro thx

[Q] [Samsung Vibrant] SetCPU

For those of you who have the app, what are you settings?
Charging/full = ?
Charging AC/Full = ?
Chargin USB/Full = ?
Screen OFF = ?
Battery< = ?
Temp > = ?
The reasons i am asking is that i am having problems finding the right setting to
save battery life while maintaining the speed.
I have been searching around youtube/ etc etc.. and all the settings seem to be on the N1?
Help Plz?
Im just at 200min and 1200max
But at 102 degrees i am at 200min and 800max
i keep mine 1200 max and 100 min and the governer is on conservative
charging/full: 1200 max 400 min
battery < 69%: 1000 max 100 min
battery < 30%: 600 max 100 min
screen off: 600 max 100 min
all set to conservative.
Thx guys I will give this a go and see if i can come up with good results?
Anyone else got their settings? Post plz, wud really help!!!!
Don't use profiles. Set 1200 max and 200 min with conservative. It'll go down to 200 with the screen off, anyway.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
I think the main issue is with the display taking up too much of the battery life mines currently at 51% while I just have a plain black background. Any suggestions?

Turn down brightness?
I just downloaded this. I hate to sounds like a n00b, although I am... question.
I can't set my max to more than 1000. Advice?

if you arent running a kernel that supports overclocking you wont be able to go past 1000

how u gettin 600 option, i just get 400 nd thn 800. if i set to 400 the phne sleeps to death..
I don't know if this was just a concern with the Mytouch 3G that I came from, but if we were to underclock lower than 245 then it was too low/slow for the phone and would create problems with waking, handling incoming calls/SMS, etc. I've seen a lot of you post saying to drop it to 100. To me that's extremely low and not suitable. I have mine at 800 max when on, 384 when screen is off. Even at that, it seems a bit sluggish coming out of sleep, but not anything noticeable when calls/sms come in because in less than 2 seconds it's back to flying.
So my question is, is 100 realistic/adviseable? I think nothing lower than 384 is better for these phones. YMMV.
^^ agreed.. i tried setting mine to 100 when sleeping, but when i got a phone call the phone went r-tarded.. there were a few times when the phone took so long that i missed half the calls.. not to mention what it would do if i was listening to pandora.
i changed it to 400 and the issues went away

Good voltage settings for OTB kernel?

Can anyone post their Voltage settings for Nemesis2all OTB OC kernal? Like posting ALL of them? Thankss.
You could skim through the thread starting at page 20 or so and look for lists of voltages and/or thumbnails.
I've been using this kernel recently. Here's my settings so far, although the overclocked settings have only been in place for a few hours, and I'm cautious about overvolting right now (this is my second fascinate ).
For reference, I had used comavolt before with no issues, but apparently barely (these settings aren't much of an improvement, other than overclocking of course).
I/O scheduler is set to cfq (sio gave me lockups in the market with comavolt settings). Enabled steps are 200, 400, 800, 1000, 1120, and 1200 MHz. I'm not bothering with 600 or 900 steps as I couldn't get any better voltage than with the 800 and 1000 steps. 1300 (and maybe even 1400) should be doable with overvolting, but doesn't stand a chance without it.
100-200 MHz: 850 mV
400 MHz: 975 mV
600-800 MHz: 1125 mV
900-1000 MHz: 1225 mV
1120 MHz: 1275 mV
1200 MHz: 1300 mV
I'm using the following 4 steps. You can swap in the last step for a 1500/~1400mV but I personally have yet to get that 1500 stable. At 1.4ghz I'm seeing 2000 in Quadrant, 20 mflops in Linpack. I'm also getting insanely efficient battery usage. Thank you Nemesis.
200 - 875mV
600 - 1150mV
1000 - 1250mV
1400 - 1350mV
*CFQ scheduler has kept 1400 crash free.

[Read This] Best battery life ever!

Guys, I have great news! Finally after a long test, I've increased my battery life to amazing level!
Now with 3G data, Facebook and WhatsApp always on, the battery in idle drops of 1% every 2 hours!
What have I done? Nothing special, just extreme UV based on my hardware (it can be really unstable on another device be careful)
I post here the method, the names of the apps and the results of my tests.
APPS USED:
- Voltage control 4.9.8 Extreme (for extreme undervolt, U can also use setCPU);
- Stability test 2.3 (Free on market);
METHOD:
Really simple and...boring xD.
-25mV for each frequency, I set min and max at the same value and i did the stress test the CPU for that frequency;if stable (no freeze or reboot) another -25mV.
RESULTS:
very smooth ad stable!
here the technical details:
-->CPU (BUS untouched)<--
I/O = sio
GOVERNOR = ondemandx
1200Mhz = 1175 mV
1000Mhz = 1100 mV
800Mhz = 950 mV
5000Mhz = 825 mV
200Mhz = 800 mV
-->GPU<--
Low 100Mhz = 800mV
High 267Mhz = 950mV
-->Charging<--
Charger = 900mA
Misc = 900mA
USB = 500mA
-->Phone Info<--
ROM: NDT MIUI-DEVELOPMENT V10.0
KERNEL: Syiah 2.6 s99
PHONE: KI3
BATTERY: Standard not expanded.
I suggest you to use my method, you can also use my values ​​but I don't assume any responsibility in case of malfunction or damage of the phone.
Sorry for my bad english and have a nice UV and Merry X-Mas!
Sorry for my noobiness, but how much -on average- battery would be used before doing these steps. Cheers, merry Christmas!

depends on your setup. personally i dont use any of these steps, no undervolting or battery saving apps and i lose 4-5% over an 8-10 hour standby time.
sorry to the OP as they are obviously happy with their setup but their isnt anything amazing or revolutionary being posted here.
i do the exact same steps but i have found out that you should increase your lowest possible voltages by +25 mV because the stability of the phone is much different when the phone is swtiching between frequencies instead of continously running at the same load/freq/voltage. and sometimes in winter cold temperatures made my phone freeze. so i just applied +25mV to my lowest voltages which i don't even notice battery-wise and everything runs stable

[Q] Need some help with temp

My CPU's temp is ~ 49 degree when do nothing, but when i do something it will come to > 53 degree .
I flashed all Custom rom to find one can help my cpu temp is low but .. it still high.
This is hardware problem ?
I'm getting mid-30s when idle. I suggest trying another kernel.

Which ROM and which kernel are you using?
Also, undervolting will reduce temperatures substantially.
Im using CM9 beta-0.4.5.1-cm-9.0.0-RC0-olympus-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip
Kernel 2.6.32.59-MB860-CM9-gf77ecf8
Jokersax
This kernel may doesnt support Voltages. Open SetCPU i not see Voltages tab.
Can u suggest me some other kernel ?
Try faux123's kernel, and then do some undervolting.
I changed to faux but when change some voltage setting then my phone hang and reboot many times. temp still so high ( i only set -50mhz). Any sugest ?
Try -25 and use profiles for screen off. Don't forget that there's a 100mV delta limit for each step. Are you overclocking your phone?
My current settings with faux123's kernel:
Screen off profile: 216 min - 456 max
Voltages:
1000 MHz - 950 mV
912 MHz - 900 mV
750 MHz - 800 mV
608 MHz - 700 mV
456 MHz - 600 mV
312 MHz - 500 mV
216 MHz - 400 mV
A note about undervolting: not every cpu is the same. You might be able to get an even lower undervolt, or you might not even be able to undervolt at all. Just make sure you uncheck "Set on Boot" until you get a 100% stable undervolt.
Edit: While you're at it, take a look at the "Time in State" info. What frequency does your phone spend most of its time at? If it spends a lot of time on higher frequencies, there's your culprit for high temps.

Which Faux kernel did you flash? You should be using the 1.0GHz kernel. If you are using that and have mild UV then you should have no heat (or battery life) issues. Also, you need to check for any apps which are causing your CPU to be continually under load when it should be at idle. This could also account for higher than normal heat.
Your phone should be able to handle -50 Hz at all frequencies, as that is a very low UV.

I flash Faux 1.0 GHz kernel (my old post) like u said. I will try all you suggest then report soon tks guys
I tried all you suggest but still automatic off (or idle cause i press power button my phone dont start ... it like my phone is hanging ) then I must off my battery to power on my phone.
The average temp around 44 degrees or higher ..
What ROM are you using, and did this problem occur on stock?
I'm using CM9 ICS
Sometime with stock rom, this problem appear. I think it from my phone's hardware. When CPU temp > 50 degree it happen.
Today,
after talk over skype,
view some webpage,
it's seem abit hot (about 45 degree).
After all, i lock screen then put to my trouser. When come to other place I open it, press power and nothing come to screen like its still running so i must off my battery to turn on again.
Flashed many rom from stock to custom but never see one can make me feel happy ). If it from hardware so poor me
Sounds like a hardware issue. Do you happen to use any type of case on your phone?
rieslav canopy
I dont use any case on my phone (sorry my bad english, "case" in your question mean protect item ? ).
I just found, when my phone is hot, it will shutdown.
Today when my battery < 15%. My phone suddenly running smoothly @@. I dont know why.
trying to find a way to help my phone run ok

Are my voltages too high? Maybe that's why I have crap battery life

Hi guys,
I'm currently using Resurrection Remix v2.6.1 ICS and am experiencing battery drain whilst using the phone. (I think it's okay when in deep sleep).
It was installed on a full-wipe so I was expecting good battery life - but it's dying like crazy.
I have a feeling its my voltages.
These are my current settings in SetCPU (I haven't touched it since I installed RR 2.6.1 but I'm wondering if these settings stay from times where I have mucked around ages ago)
Governor: CONSERVATIVE
Schedule: CFQ
1600 MHz: 1350 mV
1500 MHZ: 1325 mV
1400 MHz: 1250 mV
1300 MHz: 1225 mV
1200 MHz: 1200 mV
1100 MHz: 1150 mV
1000 MHz: 1100 mV
900 MHz: 1000 mV
800 MHz: 1000 mV
700 MHz: 975 mV
600 MHz: 950 mV
500 MHz: 925 mV
400 MHz: 925 mV
300 MHz: 925 mV
200 MHz: 900 mV
100 MHz: 875 mV
50 Mhz: 850 mV
Do these look alright? What can I change them to?
I'm looking for best battery life...I don't need it to be super fast....as long as I can run everything fine which is not that much..I'm happy

Are you actually using 1.2GHz and up? And 50MHz ?
Why mate? I mean your voltages look good. I would suggest using 100 or 200 to 1000MHz. And maybe different I/O sched. and maybe a different cpu gov.

Cheers guys.
It was initially set to:
200-1200MHz
Governor: Pegasus
I/O Sch: CFQ
I've changed it to:
100-1200MHz
Governor: Lulz-something
I/O Sch: SIO
Looks good so far but maybe it's a placebo reaction - will let you guys know
May I ask how crap is your battery that you claimed? It may be perfectly normal depending on your usage pattern. For stock battery, it might last only 3 hours playing Nova3 or 2 days minimal use picking up calls or sms.
Adjust gov setting to fit your usage or demand, turn down the brightness, or underclock the cpu will give you some obvious result.
Voltages on the other side play an insignificant role.

I don't think I do anything too much.
I mainly use it to check emails, Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter.
Other than that it is just sitting there.
I have auto-sync on for Gmail, Enhanced Email - both on 'push' for email and calendars. Don't think that consumes too much battery though.
I forgot to mention that I also changed the under-clocking to -50 ... whatever that means
Install BetterBatteryStats and check for wakelocks, maybe some apps are preventing the cpu get into deep sleep. Alteratively download CPU spy from the play store to check deep sleep.

Don't think I have a problem entering deep sleep.
It's just that my battery is draining too much.
e.g. normal morning....
100% when I wake up
95% when I leave house
70-75% after I use my phone for 40-50 mins for the whole time on the train
At that usage rate it should be considered normal, since you need to get mobile data running and you're constantly moving. (affect signal strength)
If you wish to go further, you have to exchange with cpu performance, or otherwise get a bigger battery.
Downclock the cpu to 800/1000Mhz,
lulzactive inc load set to 80%,
sampling up/down 30000/40000
pump up/down 1/1
hotplug min_freq 400Mhz
gpu set to 100/160/200
up down thres 75 45 80 45
stay count 0 1 1
The above settings will pull some handbrake on ur cpu, but you should probably gain 10-15% extra battery life.
The result will be obvious for lightweight task, but it's likely to see same drain on higher load.
