Default (Question)(need helpp)

I'm using the setcpu app and whenever I apply a "when screen off" profile and put my phone to sleep it won't turn back on. I set it to 200-400mhz and it doesn't turn back on and I think the govenor is conservative.
I am running randomrom pheonix with genocide 2.0 kernel.
Can anyone tell me what they have their profile set as or what is a good low value I can set my phone to so that it still runs but doesn't waste too much battery life while its off. Any kind of help is appreciated.

Default Don't use profiles

I wish I could be of more assistance, but basically, I remember many of the more experienced forum members here suggesting that you do *not* use profiles with SetCPU on the Epic 4G.

I am running the Genocide 2.0 kernel on my Epic with SetCPU set to a max of 1120 and min of 100 MHz, with no profiles set and the governor set to conservative. Haven't had any issues.

Also, I use a widget called Temp+CPU PRO that dynamically shows you the clock speed of the CPU, so you can tell when it's at 100 MHz and so forth.

From what I've seen, the speed of the CPU ramps down to 100 MHz on its own when the phone is idle.

Oh.. well I have never seen that.. I heard ppl talking about setcpu is better than voltage control so I thought it was cuz of the profiles.
So about how many hours do u get out of ur phone? What rom r u using with that kernel?

I get an average of about 11 hours on a single charge. Mainly because I'm a Facebook addict

Right now, I'm using the ERA ReVolted Rom v.6 Reduced Fat version.

Lol well I use internet a lot for downloading stuff and I txt all day long get a few phone calls and I average a couple hours.. yesterday I played a game and downloaded some music talked a lil and txt the whole time and it lasted from 10 30am until like 1pm and I had 8%. I don't understand how ppl can say they get over 20 hours.
Sometimes I can make it last 12 hours but that's when I just txt and don't do nothing else.

There are a lot of good posts on here about maximizing your battery life. Most of it requires some functionality to be sacrificed, so it's all about your personal preferences.

Our AMOLED screens are purty, so even though I keep mine dim to save battery, once in a while, say when watching a movie on the phone, I'll crank up the brightness all the way to make the visuals pop. Do a few searches, read up, and then tweak, tweak, and tweak some more until you find that "sweet spot" that works for you.

Of course, hooking yourself up with one of those monster 3500 mAh batteries wouldn't hurt, either. Just sayin'

I know I read a lot and I do like everything they say but don't get the same result as they say and I use screen filter so my brightness is alwas reallly low
And idk how to use tweaks really well I found this battery tweak thing and I believe all it really does it change the mhz the phone runs on but I could b wrong
And I used supercharge v6but idk if it works I don't notice any changes.
So now I just changed to eh17 modem and removed all apps I don't use and only have a few. I froze the thingsi know waste battery and I don't have nothing thatuses the battery I think.. so is there any tweaks u know r good?

Make sure you freeze sns and drm services with a bloat freezer of mybackuppro's toolbox tht saves me like a couple percents of battery an hour. Also I have tried setcpu, voltage control, pimp my cpu, but my favorite overall is tegrak

I have titanium backup pro and I froze the sns, system updates, drm content, and even the google maps app and I only defrost that app when I use it.
I have set cpu set on 200-1120 mhz. And I have juice defender and its set to "extreme". I don't keep any date connection on when I'm not using it. I'm not sure what else there is to do but I'm sure I've done some more things...
