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.

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
Hi to all,
i know that there are problem with stand-by with folio, but there are a methot or app to shutdown all process when put in suspend mode the tablet?
There are a widget for cpu speed that works with tegra2 cpu, i've tried more than one without success...
With folio widget i set the cpu speet min and max, but i suppose that cpu works every time at the maximum because my battery doesn't live more than 3 hours.
tnks
I'm running unNamed and ive noticed that cpuspy reports that my deep sleep state as unused.... i was active at one point and i've just recently noticed this change. how can i reenable it/ what is causing it?
Go into CPU spy, reset timers, then put your phone down for about 15 minutes without use. When you check cpu spy you should see the deep sleep state used. If it is not then something is keeping your phone "awake".
You can't manually minipulate the seperate cpu states.
Edit: your phone will not deep sleep if it is charging.
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
Hi, as title says, i would like to replace screen off mode on my N9005 with app NoLED. App has option to always show clock when screen is off and its jumping on the screen, so (i guess) it won't burn my pixels. Turned off LockScreen (keygard), so after pressing power it turns off screen and few seconds after that it shows jumping clock (if enyone knows how to remove that few second delay it would be great, tried to launch every single NoLED app activity with Tasker and Secure Settings plugin and no luck). App also shows app icons when there is notifications. Long tap on icons opens their app, also, triple-tapping screen "unlocks device" (closes app). App can be also closed with single physical button click, so i plan to change that with Xposed Additions to double or triple tap (for security reasons).
Battery saving part:
Using FauxClock app set performance profile for NoLED with:
-min and max cpu freq: 300MHz
-cpu governor: powersave
-gpu max freq: 200MHz
-gpu governor: msm-adreno-tz (haven't changed, don't know which is the best, other options are: performace, simple_ondemand)
-Eco mod enabled
Is there more things to tweak for battery save?
I keep wifi and gps always on, and turn on bluetooth, data and nfc just when i need them. Plan to change wifi scan interval with tasker, also, use Intelli3G to turn 3G on just when data is enabled. Used System Monitor and noticed that, when NoLED screen is active, processor, most of the time, runs on 1 core (300MHz as set) and on 60% and up, is that ok?. Note 3 has AMOLED screen, so, i hope it won't drain my battery. Screen Brightness is set in app on 20%.
Most important question is: will these settings damage my phone in any way if i use them for a longer time?
Also would like to hear your suggestion for battery saving.
Thanks in advance.
