CPU underclock 0.o

---

I was looking around and saw that you can overclock the CPU, but can you lower the CPU under 528 mhz? the main reason for doing this would be for battery life

I'm pretty sure you can by playing with the numbers in the start up txt. Juss put in somethin like 500000 in there. That's avg to somethin like 475MHz or somethin. See if it works. BUT..lol. I don't think that will be good for Android build. Don't underclock with the sense one..lmao. the AOSP is ur best bet. Its definitely goin to be slower or more lag. I guess it depends. It gets decent battery life already without underclockin. I get good battery life with my OverClock to 787MHz. :P.

Ok, ill give it a go, and I have mine overclocked too, and Im usin ASOP, and I think I'm at the same speed as you or around there. And I really havent actually used android, just toyed around with it, but I had it booted for 47 mins and lost like 20% battery, do you have that too?

can someone clarify this for me so you can overclock when you boot android but what about overclocking in winmo

i have the battery fix zimage. so im getting pretty accurate readings. u can read about it on the Android project page. u replace ur zimage and modules with the ones on that page for battery fix. then whenever u update, juss dont update the zimage, or itll knock out the new fix zimage. more detailed info on the project page. if u want to be overclocked to 787MHz, then ur numbers need to show 800000 in ur startup txt for the acpu freq.
They are workin on Overclocking in windows mobile as we speak. its soo easy to do it in android. remeber follow extra instructions with overclockin. adjust ur screen timeout settings to like 30mins. so phone wont go asleep for at least 30mins or more. if phone goes to sleep w/overclock, it might not wake up. lol juss soft reset if it does. on mines, it gets the S.O.D. sparingly. after the adjustment in settings, i havent had any problems at all with my overclocking. YET...lmao

i never noticed my battery draining like that. hmmm. it flutuates the readings every now n then. depends on how much u using Android. when i boot into Android, i use it aloo me it seteems to get decent battery life. tips for exten ding batt life, put ur screen brigtness dohwn to like 25% or somethin. killoff apps no t used. live wallpapers use extr alsoa

Truth to this.

For me, whenever I do a phone call or download something from the market and use the browser at the same time, the battery meter will sink into the red, and as soon as the phone is idle, the battery meter comes back up to green. It's odd, but it's better than being blind, I suppose.

As for the OP: Android's a resource hog, so I think "decreased" battery life is par for the course. I wouldn't recommend underclocking as Android will take a huge performance hit if you go too low. I don't see what the issue is though, as I've been getting iPhone-caliber battery life on my TP2 with the stock 528MHz.

Ok, thanks so much for your input guys, I ultimately just decided to buy another battery, I got it, and its on its way here! I still wont use android 100% until they can get the sound working poperly, but it is still 100x better than windows lol, my next phone is gonna be the HP android coming out for AT&T, or I might wait for the HTC
