Has anybody tried to lower the voltage at the 1.59 and 1.92 slots?

If so, how low can you go?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
running 2.4.6 extreme with 184 enabled on interactiveX with these voltages, which seem to be running great and stable. May try tweaking 184 and 245 even lower :eek:

184-725

245-775

368-825

768-850

1.0-950

1.2-1050

1.4-1125
[Thunderbolt Android Development] digitalscars:
Locked 184mhz, rebooted but it still drains crazy fast. Running extreme with stock voltages. Tried changing them but phone ran to hot. Should I try bump charging and wipe battery stats?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] digitalscars:
OP says it can't go lower than 750
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
youre only going to get battery drain on 184

The thunderbolt can only run at 750 minimum
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
yessssssssss
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
Been running 184 for weeks with no noticeable drain, but I'll keep an eye on it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
184 is fine. The voltage you have set up (725) is too low for the phone to handle. 750 or up only
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WormDoes:
Ohh, wasn't aware of that. I'll bump it back up. I was thinking of going to 700 so thanks for mentioning it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thechopster:
JS0724 - I downloaded CPU Spy and got the same results- the frequency does not settle. I don't know why this is happening. I tried deleting both Das Bamf toolkit and setcpu, reboot into recovery, wiped cache and dvcache, and rebooted thinking that the kernel's governor would settle the frequency without a possible conflict with setcpu and/or das bamf toolkit's interfering but it still maxes out. I flashed back to Adrynylyn's and it went down. I'm now running the stock rooted rom. Anybody else having this issue? If so, were you able to find a solution?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m1mgd00:
I'm using ondemandx and it's working fine for me. What are you using to check CPU clock speed? I'm still on 2.4.4, btw; didn't see a compelling reason to upgrade to 2.4.6.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JS0724:
My first thought would be a misbehaving app, but since changing kernels fixed the problem it is not likely. Sorry, I have no idea why else that would happen. I too am stuck (no offense Andrenalyn) running BAMF kernel for an unrelated reason. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can help you figure it out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] baffula:
Tried to install the normal AOSP kernel on top of my tesla coil 1.7 install and got stuck in a boot loop. It would go from the HTC quietly... to the thunderbolt logo and repeat.

Any ideas?

And yes, do always make a backup. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JS0724:
Isn't Tesla just a senseless ROM, not AOSP? You probably need to flash a Sense kernel, but I could be wrong.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m1mgd00:
You should use the Sense-based ROM. The AOSP rom is only for CM7 alpha at this point.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] baffula:
My mistake then.

Thanks guys!

@Nikolai2.1 @smashtheguitar

Are you getting significantly more battery with your custom vdd settings? Your settings are quite a few steps from defaults. I may try your numbers
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
I am actually!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smashtheguitar:
I think that battery life was already good with the "stock" extreme voltages, but I would probably say there's a benefit to dropping them further, if you can.

I think most phones will be stable at dropping down to:

184-750

245-750

368-750

768-850

1017-950

1222-1050

1408-1150

1593-1325

1766-1375

1920-1450

Some folks seem to be running the 1408 at 1125, but I kept getting lockups when running some apps (like quadrant). You might also be able to lower the voltage on the 1.5Ghz and up, but I'm thinking only by about 25, or maybe 50.

I'm currently running min:245, max:1.4 with the interactive gov. and the above voltages. In about 20 hours of testing, I have not had any reboots or lockups of any kind on these... yet, so they feel very stable. I appear to be dropping about 10% battery every 2 hours with light to moderate usage. I'll update once the battery on this thing gets closer to dying.

Edit: I should note that I've got gps/wifi/bluetooth off as I'm in a solid 4G area. Not using juicedefender at the moment, but I'd probably recommend it (I just hate having to wait to connect after turning the screen back on).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JonKyu:
Just as a suggestion you don't really need to run 245 since 368 is your lowest voltage :-D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smashtheguitar:
Yeah, I'm debating that at the moment. I'm not having any issues using 245 as my min, and I was unsure if 368 at 750 was going to cause a drain on the battery because of not enough juice, so just testing that out at the moment. It's possible that I'll just bump it to 368, but I don't think there's anything detrimental to leaving that 245 slot at the moment.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JonKyu:
True i was just going off what Imoseyon posted earlier lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
Anyone have an idea why terminal emulator is force closing on me as soon as I open it, every time? I can't do much with this kernel besides what setcpu lets me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
What rom are u on?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
BAMF 1.6. I had been using 2.2 Extreme, but than had to do a nandroid restore and was running andrylyne's kernel, decided to go back to lean, so installed 2.4.6 just now, and terminal emulator force closes. Might just go back to 2.2, that worked well for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Does it stay at max frequency constantly? And rebooting or reflashing kernel doesn't help? Let's find out which app is causing this to happen. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following without quotes: "busybox top". Wait a few sec and send me either a screenshot or copy and paste the output.

I believe it FC's because BAMF has its own terminal emulator built into its toolbox. Use that instead.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
Spot on, thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ScottIsMyName:
From what I understand, it will only make battery life worse if the CPU ends up running at 245 since it will take longer to do the same operation than if the CPU were locked at 368. Since they are both using the same voltages, there's no real reason to lock at 245.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smashtheguitar:
Hmm, I guess I hadn't thought about that angle. That makes sense to me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RobbyRob:
Question, to those of you getting great battery life on 3g and 4g what radio combo are you using? As soon as I get off WiFi my battery starts a really rapid decline.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WillTheGreat:
Don't use the one by ZTA Technologies, use the one by Jack Palevich. The one from ZTA doesn't work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 52brandon:
I think another user already solved it for him. On das BAMF, you need to use the one in the toolkit
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bokechukwu1:
What are your voltages, kernel, governor, etc and are you on ext batt or no and what rom are you using and what's your battery life been like, sorry for all the questions just seem like you know your stuff lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
With my tweaked voltages im getting almost double batt life. and i was already getting great batt life with out the tweak
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bokechukwu1:
please sir share your voltages with me
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
lol aight

184 @ 750

245 @ 750

368 @ 750

786 @ 850

1017 @ 950

1222 @ 1050

1408 @ 1125

i can probably go a lil lower..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] baffula:
I'm trying to use Super Manager, but the file is not opening. Any other tricks or is root explorer recommended?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Its recommended.., check ur pm box
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Lol I'm actually on control freak kernel right now. Just doing some testing. Everything I say should work on lean kernel just fine.

I am using bamf remix, control freak 2.0, voltages at:

245 750

368 750

768 850

1024 975

1.2. 1075

1.4. 1125

Ondemand, no profiles.

Battery life on this kernel has been amazing, with 3g on all day. I'm sure lean kernel would be much better on battery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m1mgd00:
With these settings, are you running min @ 245 or 368 mhz?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Lucky lol my phone stopped handling 950 and 1050. Had to go to 975 and 1075
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
@m1mgd00

Min of 184
[Thunderbolt Android Development] baffula:
Gonna give these a try. Would love to eek out a bit more battery life. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Do itt lol and report back if u changed the voltages and something happened.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] baffula:
Will do. Voltages changed to yours, and rebooted just fine. I'll keep you posted if something goes awry.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
@imoseyon

I'm wondering if u could change up the interactive governor a bit. It seems to go to 1.4ghz and it doesn't really use anything below that unless its at idle. Seems like we could get better battery life if it went to like 1ghz instead of all the way up.

Just an observation. Other then that this kernal really does rock.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] baffula:
I use the program TiKL to talk to a friend. Anyways, when he started using it, it took the phone from screen off to screen on and launched the program. The phone hung for a bit with your posted voltages unlike with stock voltages.

Any idea on what could be tweaked a bit?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
InteractiveX is designed to be a bit aggressive for performance. Having said that I do plan on optimizing it a bit more for power efficiency. Unfortunately those changes will come to AOSP first since I'm on CM7 currently. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PineTre3:
another noob question :) if I change the voltages does it matter what kernel flavor I run or will the voltages be the same for all the flavors?

Sent from my Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Once you manually modify the voltages, you want to save a copy of the file. Because if you run speedtweak to pick a different mode/flavor, it will override the voltages you set manually.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PineTre3:
so I go into the file with root explorer and use text editor to modify the voltages correct? and then how do I save?

Sent from my Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
There should be a save option in root explorer. Be sure to mount /system rw first before you start modifying the file.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 52brandon:
Yup, press the menu key and choose "save and close"
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bmerrill63:
Im running the newest leaked RUU. I get approx. 16hrs of usage with Lean V2.4.4 on das BAMF stripped 1.1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ridobe:
Imoseyon, just wanted to give you an update on my battery problems. I was having horrible battery life after using this kernel. To be fair, I was having the same results with Adryns' CF kernel.

I am using your lean with battsaver enabled, 184 locked and ondemandx. I changed only one UV setting because that would make it the same UV settings I had on CF. I had the same horrible results. As I left my office yesterday (and struggling with the battery life) I switched over to smartass. Also, within the o1vdd_levels file I noticed it would add the new line of code without eliminating the old line (ondemandx to smartass) assuming it would override, I just went ahead and deleted the ondemandx line. Within 5 minutes I knew it was fixed because my battery hadn't moved.

Today I am at 80% after 14.5 hours after playing games and surfing for probably 2-3 hours last night. I don''t know what was up because when on ondemandx CPU spy didn't say it was acting up. But boy, does it perform on smartass. Thanks for the great kernel.

I will now start tweaking the UV settings to see if I can do better.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
I'm with u. Smartass seems to be less aggressive but still quick. Im gonna see how it performs today.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Hmm, are you running at 1.9ghz by any chance? OndemandX is pretty aggressive reaching the top slot whereas both iX and smartass have a throttle at 1.8ghz.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ridobe:
even on battsaver?

FWIW, I've since moved to extreme in order to OC past stock and it is doing great so far. I've UV'd almost all of the slots and made smartass the default.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
any mode lower than 1.92, both iX and oX will aggressively reach the top and smartass slightly less.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ridobe:
Ok. The wierd thing was that it was rapidly declining regardless of the activity. Didn't matter that I was surfing or sitting idle. It was draining at a rate of about I'd say 60% in 3 hours or so. No indications of a rogue app either.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
Hey guys, two problems I've been having on an otherwise fantastic kernel.

The first is occasionally my on-screen icons won't work. I tap them and nothing happens. But if I tap a rosie icon (to launch the app drawer, phone, opera) it works. And if I launch an app from the app drawer it works. It's kind of weird.

The other problem, and I assume this has to do with my setting screen off--> 245mhz, but when I turn on my screen and unlock, it's very slow to unlock. Using ondemandx, extreme.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Does this happen while you're on wifi as well?

First prob doesn't seem to be a kernel issue. Might be the ROM...

Second, try another governor? Let me know if that helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ridobe:
Yes, it did.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
Only cropped up after changing kernels, but could be a misleading correlation. Been using BAMF for a couple weeks with the BAMF kernel and it never happened.

I'll give smartass a try.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Yeah all my govenors suspend while screen is off so perhaps you ran into an issue there.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] broadwayblues:
Found answer using search thread.

Imagine that. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yumms:
Anyone getting severe battery drain on idle? At night I charge my phone to 100%, 8 hours later its down to 50%-55%. Before it used to only drop about 8%-10%.

Not sure if this because of the kernel or the new radio update.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CJeep:
Just figured I'd chime in.

BAMF remix 1.6.2, was using leankernal normal 2.1.1 and it was perfect, great battery life, fast, GPS is fine, no reboots.

Then I tried 2.4.6, normal, kept the stock setting per the speedtweak.sh, and man, this thing killed my battery, I mean just hammered it. 3g, 4g, or wifi, did not matter, and it ran hot, sitting at idle at over 95* F. Lost 80% of my battery in 6 hours of idle.

Back to 2.1.1 and all is well. no more problems.

Funny how some phones react to certain things. I'm gonna stick with this setup for a while.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Check to see if you have 184Mhz unlocked. I swear that slot causes more issues than it fixes. ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tx3kgtman:
I had to get a replacement phone yesterday because my SD reader would not read any SD card. On my previous TB it would run 1.4 ghz but anything higher it would freeze and reboot so I always just ran the normal 1.4 kernel. Now with my replacement phone it seems to run the 1.92x fine. I'm on the interactiveX governor if that makes a difference. My question is can a run this all the time or should I lower it ? Also anyone know a good app that shows phones temps and maybe the CPU frequency?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yumms:
You're right, it was. I'm gonna try the 246Mhz version now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PineTre3:
do i have to delete the backup file it automatically creates after i save and exit?

edit: nevermind i'm not going to mess with voltages no more i tried it with the slightest changes and i kept getting rebooted
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
Yeah run it all the time, the governor will control the speeds. I like temp+cpu widget.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Auronis1:
tried these, phone locks up and reboots :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PineTre3:
same with me
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smashtheguitar:
If you phone is locking up while the screen is off, you'll want to bump up your bottom slot another 25 or so.

If it's rebooting/freezing/forceclosing while you're running apps and such, try bumping up your 1.4ghz to 1150.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BennyJr:
When does it lock up? Try bumping them all by 25
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PineTre3:
voltages at:

245 750

368 750

768 850

1024 975

1.2. 1075

1.4. 1150

I tried these and I kept getting reboots, any suggestions?

I was running 368Mhz @ 750 as my lowest slot and everything was fine for the last couple days but just now I pulled my phone out of my pocket and there were no recent apps. So i checked my up time and it had restarted an hour and a half ago. Anyway I'm bumping that slot up 25 and reinstating 245Mhz @ 750 but I just wanted to chime in and let you guys know that even if 386 @ 750 is working for you for a day or two you might want to keep an eye on it.

Got stuck at boot screen on this one :l
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xCHPx:
My phone lags right after I unlock my phone and open an app. Is that because of the new slots in 0.7?

hmmm for 1.92 users, let's stick to v0.6 (back up on OP) for now. I'll figure out why 0.7 is unreliable today.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
Which kernal is the one with the battery savings. I downloaded the lean .7 kernal but it is showing that its overcloaked to 1.44 not 1.2 like it says in the first post. The min is showing 123 though? Do I have the right kernal?

Love this kernel... I was gone for a few days trying to test battery life on it, and you already released 3 new versions! Just flashed .7 @ 1.41, can't wait to test it out!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] JonKyu:
Best kernel for me so far; fast with great battery life.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
One thing I did in v0.7 was that I went back to my own overclock code (with some fixes), so if i hear that it wasn't as good as v0.6 then i'll revert. It's very possible that I shouldn't meddle with things that work well. ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Yup min of 123Mhz is the right kernel. Your phone spends most of your time at the lowest clock speed, and at 550 VDD there should be some battery life savings, theoretically.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PerCompLLC:
Just a comment... I do know that there were issues back with the OG Droid with clocking the kernel too low as it didn't wake up properly for calls.

And a question... Do you see that as being a potential issue on the TBolt?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Trevlo:
awesome kernal. I have a question about the swap though. If I just flash the zip, do I need to change settings somewhere, or does it just set it up for me automatically. I saw earlier you had said that the jury is still out on the swap in terms of app performance and power efficiency... does that mean that although its supposed to help app performance it could actually hinder it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BurnOne77:
I was running tesla coil 1.1 with lame version .06 kernel and the smoothness and transitions were among the best I have seen. I was getting hard locks in internet browser at anything over 1.2ghz though. I can run 1305mhz on ziggy kernels and 1.4 on andryn kernels. When I set back to 1.2 everything was cool though.

I got a back up of that setup, gonna restore and try .07

Well, I haven't tried .6, but I'll let you know if I experience any issues. Anything in particular you'd like me to keep an eye out for?

Thrown by Zeus himself
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
The thing about swap is that you want to run your phone several days before you realize its benefits or its uh... non.. benefit. ;) most of us have been rebooting more frequently due to the kernel releases. That's why I made it optional. Use it if you like it or disable it if you dont.
