Overclocked-UV-Kernel-Battery Life Without Set-CPU

---

If you are using one of the Over-Clocked Undervolted Kernels please uninstall set-cpu and observe your battery life for 3 days and compare it to what you got when you used set-cpu. Then report as to if it is better, worse, or the same.

Just compare to what how long your battery lasts with your normal usage. Please do not give replies like "I only used 30% in two days with normal use."

Just reply with either better, worse, or same. Because usage is relative and that is not the purpose of this.

I think that set-cpu is interfering with the built in govenor and its ability to scale the freq of the phone. I think that it is staying on what-ever freq you set in set-cpu and scaling properly and thus reducing the battery life, and making the undervolting useless.

IF YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE BETTER BATTERY LIFE WITHOUT SETCPU, THEN GET LOGS WHILE IT IS RUNNING AND SEND THEM TO THE DEV.

I have also noticed lag on the home screen with setcpu, I started using Overclock Widget to detect the values and to diff freq screen off 245-576 and put the phone on sleep while charging so will stay cool. Battery life has been great so far! I'm using 2.6.33.4 root@pereshoot-ububtu #1 about to upgrade to his newest 2.6.34...I think SetCpu has flaws!

Will let you know my results.

this thread may be of some help. im currently trying pershoots 5.12vfp release without setcpu at all.

i do, however, remember getting 37 hours with moderate use with setcpu and profiles set, but i cant remember which kernal it was exactly. i think it may have been IRs 4.29 release..

Just uninstalled SetCPU and I'm running Pershoot's newest 2.6.33.4 925 Kernel. I will report back my findings in a couple of days...

Been curious about this for a while, but does the Nexus automatically throttle CPU speed by itself when SetCPU is not installed?

Nope, incredible and onwards only.

Did this Quite a bit ago... ran with and without for over a week and i have better battery life without setcpu

When you don't have setcpu, you're not running at 1113ghz..

Perhaps...However, Linpack is proportional (I think) to the device's performance. My little experiment was testing different frequency kernels and measuring that against Linpacl

998: 7.4
1.13: 8.2
1.19: 8.9

So it would appear that performance increases with each kernel which wouldn't be the case if SetCPU was required.
