Set Cpu and my battery

[craign1317]

I just started to use set cpu, should i reset my battery stats for better life or will it be ok. i have been on my current rom for about 2 months now.

by the way i am running warm z and netarchy 4.3.2

Back when I used setcpu I didn't wipe the battery stats and there wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

Have you noticed anything that is out of the ordinary?

 

[craign1317]

The only thing out of the ordinary that I have is that my battery loses almost 10% per hour with the screen off, and the profile I have for screen off is set at 248000 for the min and max and the scaling is set on power saver. Something just doesn't seem right with that.

Have you checked spare parts to see if there is an app that is causing the power drain?
If I remember right I had that type of drain when I had my phone OC.

 

[craign1317]

Yes I have, there is nothing that seems to be out of control. I know set CPU is working because I have noticed a definite speed difference while I am using the phone with it overclocked.

I understand that when I am using my phone with it overclocked it will drain the battery but with the screen off profile set the way I have it shouldn't I get excellent battery life when the screen is off?

How many hrs of battery life do you get?

 

[craign1317]

I had my phone at 100% at 900 this morning and did not even touch it until noon and it was at 68%. I had WiFi & gps off and it was in a place that gets excellent reception. During that time I got 7 emails that I did not check and 2 missed phone calls.

Did you get the setcpu from the market or the free version from the dev on xda?

Just seeing as if it something might had happen if downloaded from the dev direct.

 

[craign1317]

I am using the one from over at xda.

Have you tried to re-downloading it?

To be honest I'm kind of stumped

 

[craign1317]

I will try that and see what happens, I noticed that there is a newer version. I am on 2.1.0 and it looks like the current version is 2.1.3 ill report back later, hopefully that fixes it.

 

[craign1317]

I think that did the trick. It seems like its down to 2% per hour with the screen off. I went 10 hours today with moderate use and still had 58% battery left.
Thanks for all your help.
