I never mess with setCPU anymore. I trust the devs stock clock speeds on their ROM's. Plus with smartass enabled in this ROM try and go with out setCPU. I haven't used that app since I got this phone. So far so good, excellent battery life.
[myTouch 4G General] dannydro:
Idk I think I'm going to go without it for a couple days, just to see. Most of the time I would have it on recommend settings and switch the governors once a while. Never used profiles because it would make my lockscreen a lil 'laggy'. But I took a couple of screenshots of my battery use with setcpu for a time frame of 8 hours (very steady decline) think I had like 15 percent left. So imma try to compare them and see what works for me. Thanks for the info guys.

Video by @JasonK75 on the new OTA Updater..
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
i don't really use setcpu either but this kernel version 7 is underclocked so I have been using "no frills" from the app market seems to be working really well. I haven't notice any lag. I have mines at 122/1017 smartass. My phone has been off charger for 38 hours with 13% left.

I also have been using incredicontrol to undervolt the CPU to -50. I tried -75 at the lower frequencies and -50 at the higher ones but my phone froze so at least for my CPU, seems to be working fine with undervolting by -50. Also part of why battery life is great as well.

Rom and Kernel are both winners. kudos again to dev tdj!
[myTouch 4G General] billwinkle:
I have a stupid question about the updater. I do not have Amon Ra or Team Win. Will I still be able to use the updater with Rom Manager?

BTW I think I am allowed 1 stupid question every 6 months now.
[myTouch 4G General] dannydro:
Okay so I finished my lil experiment, it is like night and day. But that no frills looks promising and its free too what? Lol. No clue why setcpu did a number on my battery. Like I said had it on recommend settings.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
MT4G has neither of those, only CWR, I don't know if the updater is functioning for our phone yet, never tried it.

@Dannydro Ditch setcpu

This is much more efficient way of managing the cpu and volts, and it will not cause lag lag when turning screen on.

edit:Meant to say the actual updater works, just haven't seen Derek mention new updates on it. Wait till next week's version and try the updater.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Man I love Fridays more and more, I noticed in the past few releases that the widget selection page wasn't quite lining up properly when trying to move an app from place to place but it has been better than a few updates ago. It will be good to have that cleared up.

Thanks for the heads up on the news.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
Ota will be full functionality for the vanilla version of miui.. You will have to flash demomspeed mod manually thru recovery.. I on that note I have spent the last 3 days building a bot to do my work and it works awesome! I already have vanilla miui 1.8.26 done and uploaded to my server.. I just need a few people to test? Please know that the demomspeed mod hasn't been incorporated into my buildbot yet.. So I have to do that when I get home from work.. Let me know who is interested and I'll give you a link so you can test. If you want to test you have to keep it as is for now... No addons or custom kernels until later in..

I'll test if still needed. Maybe it'll fix my issue of Android System draining 45% of my battery. Should have refreshed before posting. :) Anybody have any suggestions on how to stop the android system and cell standby draining ~65% of my battery? I've turned off everything that I can think off, syncing, background data etc....

I''m running 1.8.19 with demonspeed v7.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
to me android system usually implicates a sensor issue.. take a screenie inside the andriod system in the battery monitor menu so i can see what its doing...
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Everyone that has had to deal with this hurricane reported they couldn't get service period for hours, I'm sure if that's the case you won't need it. I'm in Mass. and I have a feeling everyone is blowing this out of proportion but I guess we'll all find out.

In terms of the Update I haven't had one in the past four releases that was bad on battery and I use everything on it at one point or another through the coarse of the day and I have 70% battery when I get home at 7pm. I have to say I never got stats like I do now with any of the Sense ROMs.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
I'm taking this as the MIUI release will be up but the MOD will be up in the morning?

[myTouch 4G General] stunndd:
Thanks for the update. Would/could doing a full wipe and flashing the update fix the Android System drain issue?
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
That is pretty typical cell standby for this rom and kernel.

@tdj, you know I would test anything you make but I need my phone this weekend for work. Got the bad emmc chip so I don't know when will my last flash be before I get fail PU. Can't be this weekend though, haha. Thanks for the update
[myTouch 4G General] :
I've had this issue for awhile running aosp roms. I did some searching and found this works. Go to settings/development/running and find Google services and stop the cloud option not messages. Once I did that my o.s dropped to 1% to 2%
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
i always do a full wipe.. also IMHO the battery stats are not that accurate, but that only my opinion.. The sensor that makes android system climb is the proximity sensor and it occurs most when on a phone call.. also a good ide is callibrate the battery every time you flash a new rom.. i do the down and dirty method of draining down the battery and charging it full and then deleting batterystats.bin from /data/system or deleting the battery stats from recovery.. i just dont trust that recovery is actually deleting the file... so thats about it for now..

aslo if anyone is interested, I posted a quick vid of the buildbot in action.. check it out! but beware its nothing fancy, kinda boring...

[myTouch 4G General] stunndd:
OK I'll wipe and flash right away. Thanks for the quick answers. Rooted my phone last week and love this rom. Just to make sure though with minimal use ( a couple text, an hour or two of music and a few mins of games) the battery should last longer than this right (12-14 hrs)? I ask cuz I see ppl posting about their amazing battery life. And pre-root I was getting about the same as what I've been getting with this.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
Don't buy into the hype.. 1 my girlfriend got the so called "failed" PU and i recovered it by flashing p15img with her part7backup.bin and still retained s-off and then flashed clockworkmod thru fastboot then restored nand..

[myTouch 4G General] SteveB2175:
Hello all, I've been lurking here for a while and now I hope you don't mind if I ask some real NOOB questions.

I'm running today's version of MIUI on my Samsung Captivtate (AT&T branded Galaxy S) and I'm loving it.

I had one heck of a time flashing the rom, and to be honest I'm not even exactly sure how I got the flash to work. I rooted my phone, installed Rom Manager, but Clockwork recovery wouldn't work, so after reading many posts I found a recovery file and copied it to the system/bin file using root explorer. From that point I finally got the rom installed.

The bottom line is that I wonder if I need to wipe the phone clean and start over to make sure I have the cleanest install possible, but I'm not sure what the steps to do tht are, or if it's even necessary to so so.

Thanks for any advice !!

Well moderate for me would be like 2 hrs screen on with not too many (like 20-25 txts) a few short phone calls and about 6-7 visits to xda and other forums sprinkled in ohnya and about 30 min of music.

Is that not moderate?

[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
I have no idea if this is related to the ROM or not, but for the first time in two years of Android usage, I had an app uninstall itself after a reboot. The Android Pro Widgets app icon disappeared and the widgets disappeared from the widgets list, even though the Market and Manage Apps still said it was installed. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked (for now), but it was a strange issue. Anyone else experience this?
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
i can get about 14-17 with moderate use, and usually around 10-12 with fairly heavy use. i have wifi and gps on, bluetooth off. i only have apps installed that i use so there's not a lot of extra stuff always running in the background. i really couldn't ask much more from this rom.

also, i saw wifi calling added to the changelog for miui. i always had that before, but does that just mean it's now part of MIUI.us rather than your demonspeed mod?
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
I got 16 hrs today with 2hr screen on time and 30% left.

I guess everyone's definition of moderate or heavy use is different but most likely everyone here has tried a variety of different roms and can compare battery life across the board for their level of phone use. so if people are saying the rom has good battery life then it works well for them. I haven't flashed a rom with better battery life than this one. Problem is with other roms you have to download all these apps and widgets that come already built into miui so it turns out burning more battery.

Miui looks good, runs fast and has great battery life. It is the best rom IMHO.

P.s. for people to say they don't like how miui looks or it is too much like iphone is bull. It can look like an iphone but you can make miui look like anything. That is the great thing about miui.
