[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yeah you're right. 480 is too low sometimes. But I don't mind. Today I tried all this with 3G on and some gaming too and still got some good battery. Not the same as on edge but still pretty epic. I'm still running on 122-122 screen off and changed main profile to 340-480 (conservative) to avoid some lag and it works. (300 something, forgot what the actual number is)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
As long as your CPU is dealing with one app at a time, 480mhz is absolutely fine. It only gets messy when dealing with 2, 3, or more. My main apps-in-use are browser and chat, when both are on at once the chat keyboard can be a little laggy but nothing that delays the message and nothing you don't get used too.

I asked in the Kernel thread in DEV, but cannot find a single answer as to what constricts MHZ clock speeds to certain pre-set ranges.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Exactly. Same for me. But I don't recommend on using 3G if you'll be using the phone for the WHOLE day. An example would be from 7AM to around 10PM at night. For that, I highly recommend using EDGE and the rest of the CPU settings. I woke up a little late today so 3G's been working fine for me. I change the settings depending on the usage I'll be taking on the phone for that day.

Err...its simple to understand lol...

U turn on 3G but u not subscribe to data plan, thats why it eats your credits :D

This is android, its like iphone and blackberry! When there is no data plan on your sim it will consume your credits, so...consider yourself truly noob, dont blame the phone :)

wait...is there noticeable changes in battery if i use cm7? dont want to waste my time to set it if its not working..lol..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Dude, the aces battery sucks period. Underclocking is the closest you can get to a better battery life. Unless you buy a better one then that's something else.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] FinnAndJake:
yes dude...i know. thanks by the way...:D

underclocked but still battery life sucks...... i use only 2G seldomly using wifi, RAREly make phone calls. but wait...maybe its because of my bttery..:eek::eek:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Lmao I don't know. I get a complete full days use. And to top it off, I turned off the screen off profile and clocked it at 120-600 with interactivex. Did you check out the kernel I put at the end of the first post? Try it out.

nice guide :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rushyang:
SuperAce609,

Max CPU frequency @122Mhz when screen is off isn't recommended if you're listening to music & want to turn off the screen. In every CPU governor with Max 122Mhz when screen off, Music awfully lags.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
I had to change screeen off from 122/122 to 122/245 because I discovered when I got an incoming call it took the phone around 3 seconds to tell me and change the screen plus start ringing. Also as I use ezanswer that also had lag to show its buttons as well.

In addition I got about 80% of state as 800mhz. I noticed smartass locks the cpu to max speed, which I had set for charging so whilst last charging the core clock was locked at 800mhz but the 80% seems excessive as for the last 3 days its not been charged.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yeah, but since I don't listen to any music on my phone or use any screen off apps, that 122 applies to me perfectly. You can mess with the settings as much as you like and find the ones that fit your needs. This guide is basically just to give you an idea of what you can do.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
And yeah, like I said, mess with the settings until you find what works for you. I personally keep changing the settings around. If I posted about them every time I changed them, the first post would be long as hell.

Like for example, right now I'm using 160-600 OndemandX, 120-240 OndemandX screen off and 240-600 in call also on ondemandX.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
is there known batteries that do actually extend battery life? as there is a few on the market but with reports they fake labeled and the actual capacity isnt higher. Are batteries for galaxy S etc. incompatible?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I've heard the battery for the Ace Duo is compatible with this one. Its around 1600mAh. If they sell extended batteries for that phone, which would be around 1900mAh or so like the Ace only has around 1500mAh, those batteries should be more than good for our phone. I hope I'm right. I'd be the first one buying one xD
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mor_1228:
will try things in 1st post today.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] animal_he:
Can you tell me which kernel do I need for Smartass Governor? I have stock 2.3.6 xxkpp
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Did you try reading the first post completely?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
I see the state stats in setcpu reset on a reboot, after a reboot I see 800 is hardly used. So that was from all that time on charge using smartass, I now use ondemand for charging.

Also I think my 122 is low because I think it stops recording states when the phone is asleep.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Don't know. I don't really pay much attention to time in state. I use OndemandX
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Nestagirl:
Does this makes the phone laggy? Because I already have certain troubles with it, so, I don't know.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yes it does. If it lags then that means it works. Depends what governor you use with it too. Or if 480 is too low, clock it at 600.

EDIT: I stand incorrected. I just flashed the Infinity rom and have it running at 480 with ondemand and it doesn't lag AT ALL. Taking it in like a champ.

EDIT 2: I clocked it lower to 320 and its STILL taking it like a champ. Its a little slower BUT DOES NOT LAG.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I use it more because I love the CM7 theme engine. With that, I can give my phone a complete makeover. And with the Infinity rom and the new settings, I've got a really kick ass battery. My main profile is 245-844 Ondemand and 122-245 ondemand screen off. xD
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] GLunPy:
Ill try this settings:

When screen is on:

MAX 800

MIN 245

Smartassv2

When screen is off:

MAX 122

MIN 122

Lets see how it works :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
The screen off might be a little too little.....you might experience lags when playing music or when someone calls

Herpderp iPad2.

No I don't care if you're anti-Apple.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yeah, I leave it off at 122-245. Works pretty good.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mor_1228:
i saw u edited ur thread today what did u add mate ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Added CPU spy. Works really good. And changed some numbers around and governors.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
I have temporarily disabled setcpu and the phone doesnt keep waking up anymore.

I am now comparing battery life to having default clocks but no excessive waking up to lower clocks but with lots of wake ups.

Currently it seems to be draining a bit faster but not a huge difference and I get the benefit of the phone been less laggy.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] themountig:
Turned my old mobile off two weeks ago. Battery still going strong - ultimate battery saver.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
What do you mean keep waking up anymore? What in the world are you talking about? That sounds like a rom issue rather than the app. Been using this app for months and a whole bunch of other people as well and you're the first one to report that problem. I've never had it before so I don't know what you're talking about.

Why don't you be more specific when posting a problem?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Glad it worked for you :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
sure.

goto the battery life info page

so options

then applications

then battery usage

it has 3 bars

one for charge - should be off all the time unless charging

one for screen on

one for awake

ideally awake should be matching screen on only.

when I use setcpu profiles the phone wakes up a lot whilst the screen is off, when I dont use setcpu profiles it doesnt.

some pictures

wake up bar much longer than screen on

and similiar here

but here it is normal with setcpu profiles off

I might try a different app to setcpu to see if its a setcpu problem. Also I plan to try undervolting.

Currently I am at about 45% charge with 3 days usage. So its still heading for around 5 days.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
@chrcol I dont have that issue. Do you use syncing for any apps? Also what profiles were you using on SetCPU?

When looking at your examples I cant see anything abnormal because it usually takes some time for the phone to 'deep sleep' after you turn the screen off. Moreover you use a 1 & 5 day chart compared to a 10 hour one which isnt exactly comparable.

Also Im not aware of an Ace kernel that supports undervolting.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
shame on the kernel, thanks for checking tho :)

I have background data and auto sync disabled. as well as not using any apps that sync. Gmail is the only sync app and its off.

However I already know the cause of the wake its setcpu. The only question remains why its doing it.

My rom is stock 2.3.3.

Also there is others who have the problem, I googled it and there was a discussion elsewhere, however none of them found out why and just either put up with it or stopped using setcpu.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
Looking at the way you use your phone and the time between charges I cant really see the need for undervolting or even underclocking. For me its vital because I have crap signal but I have constant syncing. And screen is on 6-8 hours a day.

Im also stock 2.3.3 so my suggestion is that your profiles are not optimal or you have another rogue app somewhere.

Does anyone else know if the 1650mah batt in the new Ace Duos will work with our original Ace? http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_ace_duos_surfaces_costs_260-news-3824.php
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
It should....but it might need battery calibration

Defy-ing all limits.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Meh.. 1660mAh won't really make that much of a difference. Its only 300mAh.

Either way, that problem you're talking about, I haven't had it before. But those pics you took are way different. How do you expect to compare a 10hr one with a 5d and a 1d one?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
Still when it comes to replacing the battery good to know official Ace supported 1600 out there.

I think of his pics only the last bit of activity on the 1 day chart is suspicious. But as I said I suspect another ap at play.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Same here. SetCPU never wakes my phone unless I turn it on to check the time or something which is logical that the phone would turn on.

Here's an idea. Install cpu spy from the first post and look at what your processor's been doing more closely.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] fifi62820:
For me minimal 100 and maximum 700 and the result it s great
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
700 is just 100 away from 800 and 100 is far lower than the min frequency as it is. Meh. I don't know, whatever works for you is fine xD. I'm using the regular setup. 122-245 screen off and normal 122-800 screen on interactiveX.

I'm always messing with the settings so idk xD. By the way, which kernel are you using?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
there is no other app causing it, its 100% repeatable.

setcpu profiles on then wakes up, setcpu profiles off it doesnt. I will be turning it on again when this current charge ends 4days 8h at 30% left. Setting the default clock and governor is fine with setcpu its when enabling profiles the problem starts, So I can probably still underclock the default and I expect it will be fine with profiles left off.

The profiles I setup were for.

screen off 122/245 conservative

batter below 25% 245/480 conservative

when charger plugged in 245/800 ondemand

and default was 245/480 on demand

The profiles are still configured but I just unticked the enabled box.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

well I have a 4day screen now showing the same thing, problem is if I plug in the usb to take a new picture it resets the graph back to 0days. So take my word for it the behaviour is still the same on 4 days. However if its bugging you not seeing it for higher time then before I next charge I will do a new picture.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Look at all the profiles you're setting up, that's not good. Anyway, download cpuspy and screenshot what it shows while you're doing this battery test.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
OK thanks for the response. I have largely similar setup as you which is why this is so odd. I believe you of course, just at a loss to explain it. Will keep thinking.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] koolguy366:
my settings

im using stock GB wit cfroot kernal

also using lagfreev3 and turboboost

cpu settings are,

main- min 245 & max 480

in call- min240 & max 320

screen off- min 122 & max 122 ( i dnt get any lags when phone wakes up,working smooth)

wit all these settings my battery life improved and i dnt have any lags!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
no worries.

incidently I think its drained about 15-20% faster.

am charging it now it managed about 4 days 20 hours but I was managing usually 5 days and a half sometimes nearly 6 days.

I have activated just the screen off profile now in setcpu and will see how it goes on the next charge.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

is cfroot on default tweaks?

I may try the lagfreev3 and turboboost to see if I can get no lags on lower clocks as well but I am hesitant to try those scripts if they cant be uninstalled easily.

got a prob with taking calls.

so i changed the settings..

screen off: min 122 & max 245

in call: min 245 & max 480 and set its priority to 100 (or more than ''screen off''s priority)

now evrythng wrking fine,

thankz 4 kevinlekiler for this tip :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Lol what are you talking about? Those settings are in the main post. Except I didn't do the calling one because I don't really need it.

At the moment I'm running on 122-245 screen off and 122-800 both interactiveX. Only lag I get is when the phone wakes from deep sleep.

But like I said, I'm ALWAYS messing with the settings so I never stick to one thing.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Like I said bro, no matter how much you "optimize" it, the Ace's battery life just plain sucks.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] _BA:
thats why i went back to stock rom (lite). best way to save battery imho.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I'd ask how the battery is. But I remember no more than 7hrs using 3G. How much does yours last? And what are your CPU settings?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
you got same issue I have reported with the phone waking up with screen off.

I done some more use now, the problem came back with profiles on. I have then tried to use only one profile at a time, so far having just screen off set causes phone to wake up with screen off, likewise with just a in call profile set. I have just turned all profiles off again to see if the issue goes away again.

Also in terms of lag when in use it is actually not significant, there is a frame rate drop when scrolling in the apps, but I improved performance by adjusting some cf-root options. Not installed those lagboost stuff yet. The only real lag I had was when I had calls which I suspect the in call profile should fix. So its probable I will enable everything again when I done experimenting. I guess its possible me having setcpu on the a2sd partition may be causing it issues? as I remember earlier in the thread I was warned about that.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
Ah I see. Its quite possible. Mainly because that appears to be the one main diff between our setups. I have no A2SD or equivalent. Nor any scripts. + stock kernel.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] boxi2000:
It worked for me on my galaxy ace. Thanks.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
Remember this was explained before?

I am running apps2sd DT script which puts everything on the SD although its not the same as a normal apps on sd function its a symlink.

Now if setcpu has an issue with this I plan to set all the cpu stuff for screen off etc. but using tasker instead.

As I understand it putting apps on sd is quite common especially on the ace with its limited memory. No other apps have an issue with it.

I will be moving the cpu functions to tasker soon and will report back how well that works, if it solves the wake issue I will let everyone know. :)

Hi AceMates,

Have been using CPU Master Pro to underclock with the smartass V2 gov and noop I/O, max 480, min 122. This did help increase battery life a bit.

A couple of days back came across this script on xda so just wanted to share...I apologize if this is not the thread where i should be sharing the following -

Would suggest Ace users to check it out yourself and then take a call whether it improves battery life or not. My Ace rarely lasted over 6-7 hours without a recharge (mid to heavy usage - wifi, calls, surfing, chatting, music, youtube, etc.). With this script by PureMotive, the first day i got more than 16 hours with the same mid to heavy usage and there was still some battery to go...

Am using Itasoulos GREAT Miracle V3 ROM with the Ace Kernel beta3.1 and the puremotive script. Somehow, this combination is working to increase not only battery life but overall phone performance as well. dont go by the comments on puremotive script thread...check it out for yourself...it has done wonders for my ace....but i feel it is more the combination of V3, the ace kernel OC and the battery script...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Of course you'll get 16h. You're not even using your data connection.

Anyway, the real battery saver here is Stocklite V6 with no scripts. Got 12h on 3G WITH REGULAR USE. Meaning texting and browsing the web a lot. Got no scripts at all installed except for A2SD and not even underclocked either. 122-806 Smartass V2.

Scripts just give you the placebo effect. You think its working, but its not.
