Anyone use this feature on their S2? Its on Sammy based ROMs. I noticed if you enable it, it makes the phone run noticeably slower, which is presumably good to prolong battery life.
Haven't had a good use of it, as I only discovered it yesterday, but does anyone else?

Yes, of course.. It's a feature of JB. But what's your question about it?

And i think it underclocks your cpu, so basicly yes

Its only meant to be used when your battery is running low.
You can switch it on when say your battery is at 30%.
But as you know that will hinder the phones full potential.
Yes, I have seen that there are two options, for system and custom power saving.
When I choose system, it underclocks the CPU, but when I choose custom, it doesn't control the CPU, only the data connectivity options.
Just wondering how much extra juice you guys have managed to squeeze out of it.

Yeah, I know its primarily meant to be used with low battery, but sometimes when I go on long journeys, and no access to a charger, it may be useful.

I see you're on the leaked JB which drains battery faster.
On stock ICS, without power saver, I can push to 3 hours 20 minutes screen on time. Medium brightness.

I'm getting 2-3% drain per hour with moderate use and about 1% per hour when idle. I'll take it.
I guess the battery isn't that bad...
The guy who got that result probably is using an extended battery, has barely any apps and no syncing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
I've had no quarrels with the battery life on the phone. Then again it's regularly on the charger but the battery drain isn't bad at all. Listening to music with the screen off only drains 3-4% an hour.
I feel bad because it doesn't have an fm radio
Those ridiculous screen shots are not practical. Sure I can disable everything, freeze apps with tibu, then leave my phone alone for a few days, but this is a phone. On heavy days of use it easily outlasts the captivate.

Same here. Show me screen time usage comparisons not when its collecting dust.
Throw an I777 into airplane mode and you'll easily beat that.
I think if I turn my SGS2 off and lay it there for 200 hours, it probably still has 50% left when I first turn it back on. Let me capture that and compare.

Here is my battery life. I started using the method mentioned at around 11 hours 50 something minutes, the rest, 11 and back is before I started using the options. At the moment, its been staying at 20% as I'm writing this lol.
Here, I restricted Facebook app (which I use on a regular basis) background data, and the gray part, which is background data usage has deceased significantly, before the option was disabled, the grey part was larger than the green.
I also, as the link I posted says, limited background processes to 4, which can be found under development in settings.
RAM usage is supposed to improve after doing this. Usually for me, at this percentage battery left, about 500 plus mbs is used. However, in this pic, which is after I applied the changes, I still have the same amount of RAM used as, say, when you reboot your phone.
Will post updated pics tomorrow night

I know this stuff works, I have practiced this ever since I posted, taming background processes and data not only makes everything snappier.. I'm pretty sure it saves on battery too(and I have pretty consistent good battery results). I was hoping to have more of a list of tweaks that could be effective to update the OP with.. but I am still happy with those two.
The only thing that sucks is that the background process limit setting gets reset when the phone is restarted.. but it is worth a few seconds to set everytime you reboot.

Does 1.9Ghz take a dump on the battery life? How much is it worse by? Hopefully not completely in relative to the clockspeed...

i'll get through the day today without charging and moderate use. maybe an hour on the phone. watched half of thor on netflix and read about six chapters of a book on amazon app. it came off the charger around 10am today and will run out around 2-3am im guessing.
**** is snappy man. love it
the trick is to make sure you always charge with the charger the phone comes with to make sure your note is going into deep sleep. besides it only hits 1.9ghz when it needs to. it doesn't run at that speed constantly although you could force it to if you wanted but that would surely eat the battery alive and i'd be scared of frying the processor
OK guys so I see people getting 7-9hrs screentime on 4g and I don't nearly get that. In just 32minutes of use I lost 7%. I'm on 3g no WiFi gps or BT. Here are some screenshots. I tried clean ROM and jellybeanz with Perseus and stock kernels. Any idea? I'd like as much screen time as possible.
Thanks so much

This may sound rediculous but I notice somedays my battery runs down a lot quicker than other days. Doesnt make sense but thats how it seems to me. Are you using the cable that came with the phone and plugging into a wall outlet?
3g eats a lot more battery from what I have seen...LTE and Wifi are the easiest on battery. That being said I still don't think 3g should be causing that much drain...I bet you have a rogue app since the app usage shows 50%

Download better battery stats and grant it super user rights. Let your phone sit for a couple hours (without touching it) and pay your read out from it here. It seems like you have an app going crazy, but just simply looking at your installed apps won't help.

Open it to grant super user. Then let your phone sit for at least an hour or two. It's best overnight. Then post your kernel wake lock, partial wake locks and alarms.

You had the phone on for 9hrs and only dropped to 93%? Why r u complaining.? 40 minutes screen time at 93% after 9hrs off charger isn't bad at all. If I'm seeing that right.
thats correct, but while using it for a straight 60mins, it drops over 15%

Beastmode was slightly faster overall, and got the same battery life. That's my experience.
Why it got removed though, is 2 random reboots in a day with default options is too many. I like speed, but i'm not settling for anything less than functionality on our powerhouse of a phone.
