How to use SetCPU to save battery

Bob_Bobber0 · July 6th, 2011, 07:52 PM

I just downloaded SetCPU App, but I'm a little confused about how to use it to save battery. I want to use the app to lower the clock speed to very low while the screen is off. When I go under profiles and select the "screen off" profile, do I need to then set the clock speed down low or will it do it for me?

Also from the main screen do I need to change the clock speed when setting it at conservative, low ect?

Can someone explain how to effectively use the app to increase battery life! Thanks!

set Scaling in Main tab to "OnDemand"
go to Profiles tab:
Select "Add Profile"
Condition: Screen off
Max: It's up to you, mines @ 245760
Min: All the way down
Scaling: ondemand
Priority: either leave it or increase it.
Hit save, then while still in the profiles tab, make sure you hit the "Enable" checkbox in the top left and that the profile you just made is enabled.

Enjoy

this info is great...just one question though..i have juice defender installed as well and it seems to really improve my battery life on my Revo...can i use cpu tuner at the same time or will this cause problems with multiple settings doing similar things...thanks

I would personally advise you to chunk juice defender. For me it seems to hurt more than help. I have already noticed a noticable increase in batterylife just using ondemand in setcpu, I am truly impressed. I also use zd box as a task killer and battery moniter....it also has many other helpfull tools. Hope this helps

Keep juice defender. Best thing for your battery. I suggest forking up the 5 bucks and getting the ultimate because you can really adjust more things once you do that. I did a test on my phone with JD on and off. The difference was HUGE.

In 30 minutes with it OFF my phone has ran down to 75. This is mildly using the phone in that 30 min. With JD ON the battery was down to 95.

Numbers don't lie. Also overclocking your phone is POINTLESS. Put it on max and then cut it in half and see what the speed difference is? Not much. Therefore why waste battery keeping it maxed out when it's not that much faster? JD and keep the cpu speed down and your good to go. I get 18 hours easy out of my battery with light use.
