Underclocking

[elsatani]

How far down is it worth going? Right now it is at 110mhz -> 237mhz

If I understand this right it then will run at 110mhz when it is in "standby" mode with the screen blacket out. Do you think i will save much battery doing this?

What is your experience on this topic? (dynamic clocking)

thats what I do, i think I have mine running at 117 on standby

I'm using cpu scaler and I believe that when you turn off the screen it goes to the default clock. It only underclocks when the screen is turned on.

As far as I can tell, at least...

Hum,thats sad! If that is a fact atleast...But after i flashed it to WM6 and scaled it down, the battery-level almost increases over the night :P If that comes from WM6 or the underclock is hard to say... Guess I could check it out for tomorrow ;)

Hello,

I have a Himalaya (XDA II) with WM2003 1.60.00 WWE.
I use XCPU Scalar and currently have my device running at 200mhz.

So does XCPU Scalar really revert back to normal speeds when the device is turned off VIA Power Button?

I see that XCPU Scalar has an option to turn the screen off, so what is the difference between turning the screen off with XCPU Scalar, and turning the screen off using Power off button?

My goal is to save battery power during standby. So should I turn screen off using XCPU Scalar or turn device off using Power Button?

If I use Screen off function on XCPU Scalar is the proccessor still working but the screen is just off? What about If I use power off button on my device? What is the difference and how will it affect clock speeds and battery life?

Thanks,
kidcash.
