Hey guys, I posted these settings in the main thread of darkstone, and it worked good for some, i'm making this thread to show the setting i'm using to conserve bettery.
I have been using Setcpu and advanced task killer combined and so far my battery life is amazing. I had the phone unplugged and fully charged at around 7 pm, used it for few calls and some gaming and also downloaded some apps, it was at 70% when i went to sleep at 4am, now it is 10 am and the battery is 66%.
You need SetCpu, you can get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
And Advanced Task Killer found on market for free.
I thought I would share those settings hopefully they work for you guys too,
For SetCpu:
Main Tab: max 1113, min 245, ondemand, check set on boot
Profiles: 1- Screen Off, max 245, min 245, ondemand, Priority 100
2- Battery <25%, max 652, min 245, ondemand, Priority 0
Advanced: Sampling rate= 20000
Up Threshold= 35
leave the rest at 0's and check set on boot and apply.
For Advanced Task Killer:
Go to setting, then auto kill level chose "aggressive", and auto kill frequency set it to "when screen turns off"
I'm using radio 2.12.50.02_2 and stock Tmobile US ROM HSPL3
I hope that helps some of you.
I've had major issues with battery drain. The best I've got so far is about 5% to 7% drain per hour on standby.
I'll try your recommendations too.
Battery is the only thing holding be back from using Android as a full time OS.
Do you charge your battery in Android or in Winmo?
got settings from other thread, thought they were working well turned out they were not lol had to jump back builds
Battery life is keeping these from being fully usable. I can't make it through a full day, I have tried juice defender, set CPU (max fre 800, 245 w/ screen off), turning sync off. I always get at least 5% drain/hr at idle and obviously worse than that when I use the phone.
I am going to charge overnight tonight in win mo then boot android tomorrow morning and see if I can get through the day tomorrow.

I charge using android, and I have to agree the only thing we need now is a better battery life, thats why i've been trying all different kind of settings and this worked best.

lol yeah its strange that those settings work for some people and not for others, I guess it depends on the radio/ROM they have.

Ok let me know if these settings work for you.
I have the same config in this build
[BUILD][17.08.2010][mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b][Kernel: huanyu 2.6.32.9 #6]
and it is working well even there!
I hade 11 hours down to 15% left of battery yesterday.. and I hade it on surfing by wifi and trying some new games and hade a lot video streaming through youtube the last 2-3 hours.
Before I couldnt last for more than 3-4 hours and the phone got very varm....so this i a start and a very usefull app to use!
If you want to extend it further turn of "data connection" at the point you know your not gonna use the phone for a while.
@Notorious.Marwan, won't having setcpu at 1113 for both max and min be draining the battery more as opposed to having it at 1113 for max and 245 for min? or would the difference be not noticeable at all?
Notorious.Marwan, those settings will not be very good for battery life.
You have max and min set to full clock speed...this is going to use a lot of battery power.
My settings will give much better battery usage...I get 2 days from my HD2:

Your problems with battery life are due to SD card usage. Plain and simple. Try a class 2 card for Max performance battery wise!!!

I am going to try this.....I was on Darkstones HD2Froyo without setcpu and batterly lasted only 6hrs maybe even less.......
Now i am using Mattc-NexusLeo_v1 build w/ the lastest kernel, used the default or suggested setcpu settings from one of the xda members and i am never at full 100% only 99% or 98% and gives me about 8-12 hours of batt life.
I will try your settings and report back in 24hrs with an update, thanks again for the info!

Also too...Something that I missed at first...In the Advanced Task Killer settings...you have to ignore SetCPU or it will kill it when you turn the screen off and defeat the whole purpose.
Still ridiculous battery drain. 99%->93% in 27 minutes. Using mattc 1.5b.
I've tried the following:
-SetCPU
-juicedefender (data on only when screen unlocked)
-calibrate battery
-delete batterystats
Still need to try a class 2 card versus the class 4 the phone came with.

do a task killer, I think you have tons of contacts, so you always keep network running.

UPDATE:
I set my CPU main to "ondemand" at 94% within 30 mins I was at 74%. So I charged for about an hour back to 99% setcpu main screen back to "conservative"..
Today 8/21
- 5am - 99%
- 7am - 90%
- 730am - back on charger
-10am - FULL%
-11am - 95%
-2pm - 85%
- 3pm to 8pm, this is when i got locked up and sent to jail for 5 hours, soooo now I am at 59%
Sooo, in conclusion for mattc NexusLeo Builds vs Darkstone, keep everything the same except your main screen
Max 1113600
Min 245000
Scaling conservative
set on boot
thank you good night
I have found the best combination is Advanced Task Killer and Juice Defender. Don't even need Setcpu with the combination of the 2 above, meaning your build runs as fast as it can, even overclocked I can get easily 1 day out of it. Overnight drain is ~15-20%.
Is it worth it - in terms of speed, fluidity and no screen lag - to set the max value as 1113, instead of the default (998)?
I'm always thinking that we're burning the CPU and draining much more battery.

Hey Guys. I know there are posts about over clocking and that there are threads like this in the other device forums.. BUT
Now that the new CyanogenMOD CM6.1 is out I was wondering what everyone is doing for their SETCPU profiles.
Can it please be time for us to make a thread like this for the Aria?
To start out, I'm confused about the order of my profiles.
(sorry but i don't have screen capture on the aria yet. anyone have a suggestion on what to use, PM me.)
here is what i currently have going on, highest priority first
100) Temp >50"C = 122"F then.. max 600, min 245, ondemand
75) screen off = max 245, min 245, ondemand
50) charging/full = max 864, min 245, ondemand
40) batt < 10% = max 245, min 245, powersave
30) batt < 25% = max 480, min 245, ondemand
20) batt < 50% = max 600, min 245, ondemand
so my biggest concern is if the temp gets too hot.. scale back to the default max of 600mhz.
if the screen is off then i'm not using my phone so slow the roll
if the batt is full or charging and the screen is on then FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!
if the batt is less than 10%, slow down as much as possible
if the batt is less than 25%, take it easy to conserve power
if the batt is less than 50%, bring it back down to the default max of 600mhz
does that make sense?
Check out "screenshot" by Gik Soft, small and simple, shake to take a screenshot.
Your interpretation of the profiles looks fine to me. For screen off, powersave limits the CPU to the minimum speed anyway, so min=max is redundant.
I noticed quite a bit more battery drain when using profiles (because SetCPU is constantly monitoring your device) but results may vary. Personally, I only boost the CPU for games and documents, and SetCPU will typically bump your phone down to minimum when idle anyway (assuming you don't have intensive background apps running).
I noticed the same, using profiles seems to drain my battery faster. So I just manually toggle my clock speeds. If you set to on demand you dont really even need to worry about a screen off profile. And when my battery starts to get low I just scale down the speed. The only time I've ever come close to needing a temp profile was if overclocked to 825 and using my phone intensively while it was charging...i never go over 806 anymore so temp is never a problem.
I can however see profiles being useful if you keep your phone overclocked to the max all the time.
My x10 overheat now 48 degree celcius is normal temp n battery drain very fast. I also see that my cpu run all the time at 998 mhz this is not happen before 2.3.3 i dont use gps , wifi ,bluetooh 3g i have 2g network.plz help me friends!!!!!
i think it can make damage to your phone,update it again or flash it.
What are the programs consuming the battery in battery stats ? Do you have a huge photo and music library ?

Yeah, i have the same issue, i do have a huge library
From CPUSPY I saw my phone will either in deep sleep or directly hit up to 998...using WB TW GM rom BTW...
same here , cpu using only 998, 245 and deep sleep
same here. using pre-rooted stock. cpu spy shows that it mostly uses 998 and then deep sleep. 245 only a little, nothing else.
it makes phone heat up a little when using it and charging takes longer because of this. Even on wall charger.
I installed Wolf's ROM and took out all Timescape / Facebook / Twitter stuff ...
CpuSpy shows:
63% deep sleep.
29% 245
6% 998
No sync with Google, no Gmail built in App. I use K9 for 2 accounts refreshing every 15 minutes, my Image monitor widgets for every 30 minutes and Snowstorm for weather. WiFi was on all day (I've set no sleep policy). But was Sunday so not that much "work" (testing some app, etc).
Tomorrow I'll see.
hi there,i've got the same probleme,any solution ?
I am using auroraspv3ce final.
With most of time in sleep with wifi, it goes 8-9 hours.
If i use for example twitter facebook, it goes maximum 4-5 hours.
And mostly applications stop or lag so ihave to stop activity. I am using automemory ptimizer in aggressive mode (100 mb free) but still i have this problem.
For example when someonecalls me, 2-3 seconds waiting, i can see the person name. It shows number first.
What applications do you suggetst or what should i do?
I want to do tests memroy and battery tests to see if something is wrong. How?
I have battery problem too is normal not that much. Did you try to reduce clock speed governor? Interactive is good. Try and report.

I dont know how to reduce and what governor is. Can you please tell me about it?
wHEN i open battery in settings, screen is about %25 at least. But my display is always lowets. %15 cell standby, %15 android %15 phone idle and twitter facebook each %4

Yes of course. Go to menu and run application No-frills CPU control. For example select 806 Mhz for Max.clock and 245 Mhz for Min. clock. Governor you can choose Interactive.

I did, it success but what is that for? To reduce battery? It seems now fast, opening apps, closing.
Yes it's for reduce battery. Namely if you don't play games (like me) that clock is perfect for that purpose. Interactive governor is good too mainly if you don't always need screen on aka idle.
You can test others clock for min and max but that governor is excellent.
so eeez
best way to improve battery live is propper calibration
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
it needs root.
best way to calibrate battery is fully charge then unplug restart device plug in charge till 100% and do it again over and over for 3 times then... calibrate battery
fully discharge and charge again till 100 w/o breaks
also update your soft to soon coming v6 of auroraSP
hope i helpd
Battery Drain Wifi
I have done calibrations and changed clock speeds to no avail, Wifi really chews battery on most ROMs. e.g. Fully charged at 8pm and completely dead when i wake up the next morning.
Might simply be a case of new battery, does poor battery affect phone performance?

Yes your battery is dead or almost it's not normal take out so fast
.
You can buy this battery http://www.bigupbattery.com/T-Mobile-HB4F1-Pulse-Battery-p/bupb1694.htm is good but don't except to be perfect. I have that and phone can be 1,5 2 days without charging.

Looking forward to having decent battery life again!
I'm searching for the perfect gaming rom
For me a gaming rom need to have good performance and great battery life.
I tried a lot of rom but didn't find the perfect one.
Please share your experience (rom, kernel, settings) which make you stay with.
Well, I'm using the GPE rom by Danvdh. I'm running the default kernel that comes with the rom (Googy-Max kernel)
It seems to perform pretty well.
I underclocked the CPU to 1242 (1.2 GHz) and it seems to be running GTA San Andreas (on default settings) and The Walking Dead just fine and without any issues like stuttering and slowdowns.
I could get about 2 hours playing those games on battery before the battery dies (But the phone is only a couple of moths old, so the battery isn't worn out). This of course is just an assumption as I generally don't let the phone go below 50% or 20%.
I've disabled the button backlight and vibrations. Set the screen brightness to the lowest setting (adaptive brightness off). Turned off GPS.
Turn off wifi and mobile networks if you want maximum battery while gaming (duh). Heck, you might as well turn off the radio if you want to maximize battery while gaming, (put it in airplane mode) cuz that eats the most juice (aside from the screen).
CPU Governor: Intelliactive
I/O Scheduler: FIOPS
GPU Governor: OnDemand
Every other option in the STweaks app is set to default.
Also, make sure there are only a few background apps running.
