is keeping your min. speed at 600 mhz bad or a battery drainer??
I keep mine at 480 min and 806 max with governor at on demand

You can gain some battery life by putting your min lower, but the most your going to gain is a half hour to an hour, and that is the high end, and it all depends upon your usage.

Love the evil fascinate! I am trying to optimize the voltage settings using the Voltage control. I am not sure what to do. I want to optimize battery life mostly. I have it set on base setting for bfq at the moment. Do these need to be tweaked. FYI I have SetCpu set to reduce my clock speed as the battery % drops as follows
Battery < 20% 200 max 100 min
Battery < 40% 400 max 200 min
Battery < 60% 600 max 200 min
Battery < 80% 800 max 200 min
Battery < 99% 1000 max 200 min
I corrected this post title a few times cause I kept putting in wrong information. Sorry
What are the best settings to have you phone's CPU speed set at? I'm looking for both good performance and good battery. Also I am using the default overclocker, what is the best one? Thank you guys for your time.

I use SMARTASS as my CPU speed governor and I set my CPU to 480-748 MHz, seems pretty stable for me.

Overclocking values differ from phone to phone. Test it out with different values and use the one which is stable for you.
This was just discussed in the IHO technical-discussion thread, as a matter of fact.
My phone is stable for most stuff at 806 MHz, but sometimes the camera will cause a freeze/reboot. So I run at a 786 MHz max. Your phone will be different; this has to do with minute physical differences between individual chips.
The thing to keep in mind when overclocking is that the processor in our phone (unlike those of many other phones) does not make use of dynamic voltage scaling. There are only two voltage levels: a lower one if the phone is running at or below (or is it just below? correct me if I'm wrong, guys) 480 MHz, and a higher one if the phone is running above. So below 480 MHz, the system will give the processor a certain amount of voltage (period), and above, the processor will get a certain higher amount of voltage (period).
Because of that, the tests that have been done indicate that 806 MHz is the sweet spot for battery efficiency when the phone is in use--and the closer you get to 806, the better. Thus, I've had the following settings for quite some time:
786 MHz min
786 MHz max
Performance governor
which has treated me pretty well. On a day of light to moderate use, I'd end up with 65-75% battery left (occasionally more like 80%), depending on cell signal where I am et al. And it gives me probably the best performance I'm gonna get out of this phone.
However, I very recently decided to change the minimum to below that 480 MHz threshold and see what a lower voltage when idling would do for my battery life. My current settings are:
320 MHz min (may change to 480)
786 MHz max
Smart*** governor
There is actually a noticeable performance decrease when I first wake the phone up, so I may switch governors as well. In any case, I've had those settings for only one full day now, but for that one day the battery life was noticeably better. I'll post an update when I've had a few more days to test.
As always, it's difficult to quantify battery life in a reliable/rigorous manner (much less a universally applicable one), so YMMV.
Is overclock make battery drain?
are you overclocking ? as in are you using frequencies higher than 998MHz?

i overclock to 1113MHz

Yes sure it will consume more battery if you overclock it,but better performance

That's not 100% correct. if you download an app like CPU Spy you can monitor how much time your phone spends on each CPU state. unless you do a lot of gaming and other CPU intensive activity your phone will spend most of it's time in lower CPU states. unless you specify that you want it to run at 1113 MHz at all times which yeah, would kill your battery faster. just looking at CPU Spy on my phone OC'd to 1228 MHz it has spent 70 hours in Deep sleep and 25 hours on 245 MHz. only 3 hours at 1228 MHz.
So unless you do CPU intensive things on your phone you shouldn't notice an overly dramatic change in battery life.
Has anyone noticed that cpu now keeps running at max frequency after upgrading to ics?
Cpu spy reports that my phone runs at maximum frequency for 44% of the time.

This is quite normal, the system is heavy on the CPU.
just after flashing? it might take 2 hours to settle in... I had the same issue
Hi guys, i'm quite new with razr (above 2 months). I just wanted to ask You a question about what are the best settings like governor and io for better life? Currently i'm using hotplugx and sio.
I think you are right on the spot using that configuration mate.

Grab SetCPU off the market. You need to be rooted, but it's great for controlling your CPU settings. I use the 'hotplug' governor. These are my other settings:
Screen Off - 600 max 300 min
Battery Temperature greater than or equal to 37 C (99 F) - 800 max 300 min
Battery less than or equal to 49% - 800 max 300 min
Battery less than 69% - 1000 max 300 min
Battery greater than or equal to 69% - 1200 max 300 min
