Hi guys,
I wanted to ask you to share your settings to save your battery life.

I'm not sure if this actually increases battery life. Android uses as much CPU as it needs. Lowering the CPU may result more lag.
If you want to save battery, make sure your phone likes going into deep sleep .
I change the CPU governor to 'INTERACTIVE', that is good to me

Yes it works with HOX+, I have been reducing the frequence of the CPU to 500mhz and my phone was getting laggy. So I suppose its working, this was on the stock ROM though and the Android Revolutionaire HD ROM.

Why would you overclock a 1.7GHz Quad-Core? Everyone who is doing that is probably a retard, no offence though. Since there is no reason tot overclock it, even though it's not the fastest one around anymore.

The app is called "Tegra Overclock" (although it doesn't allow OC). It's just some app for changing cpu related settings.

Can start once HTC releases the source packages which might be next week - could be a month - but we're at their mercy.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what overclock speeds we can get out of this.
I find it funny that we all want overclock for it tho. What can't we do with our phones right now that a 2ghz overclock will fix? ...I think I just like knowing its there.

Smartass scaling and undervolt go a long way for improved battery life.
Can any developer explain how it is possible to make a CPU faster and more effecient on battery, and why don't the manufacturers just do this before they sell it?
I understand the basics of how kernels work, but I wouldn't think you could safely double the speed of a processor while keeping it undervolted (coming from the d1)
Do they purposely underclock the kernel and used the same processors in "new" "faster" phones?

Very true. The Thunderbolt is my tenth Android phone since November 09, and in every single case, scaling and undervolting have made worlds of difference in battery life as well as speed. I'm sure that things won't be any different on the Thunderbolt. Of course, the other thing that makes a huge difference is not playing with it for hours on end. New toys always drain batteries pretty fast.

Part if it is what the industry calls "yield", that is just because they produce 10,000 1.5ghz cpu's in a batch, doesn't mean all 10,000 can run at 1.5ghz safely and stable, so manufacturers have to go with the fastest common speed In order to not waste those processesors that can't handle the full speed. Its the same thing with computers and videocards.

I have noticed so far that running SetCPU for just the scaling now is helping with my battery life, so that's at least a bit of awesome.

You will need a custom kernel.
If you look in the dev section there are loads to choose from.
Also, the dev of your rom (If you are on a custom one) will probably recomend one.

I think he is talking about GPU overclock, not CPU overclock.
Overclocking a GPU will often yield a marked increase in performance in synthetic benchmarks, and usually will improve gaming performance too.

The thread I posted is about GPU overclocking, take a look!
The OP says that after research, he found out that GPU overclock is not possible in Adreno powered devices.
So, I guess the answer is no.

Overclocking your S3 above 1800mhz will SURELY damage your hardware, the most stable and recommended clock speed when overclocked is 1600mhz,1800mhz and above are highly experimental.

Not true, i`am using Voltage Control Extreme right now and set the max clockspeed to 1 Ghz on a stock kernel in ARHD 9.5.0 and saved these settings as init.d script at boot and it works, even after reboots it`s still 1 Ghz.

For starters don't use set cpu. It is not made for tegra, and only overclocks the active core(s). It leads to many instabilities. Secondly, 1.6ghz is the max clockspeed when running in quad core mode. 1.7ghz is only available when running on a single core.
