[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Looks good mate, let's see how we progress with adapting MagicConfig to your device. For now, just leave the CPU undervolted and let the phone settle in.

@Mario1968 - Yeah that should be fine. See how it goes for few days and post your feedback here. :)
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
I'll keep my eye on things for the next few days and get some screen shots of how it goes, so far everything seems to be going well with the set up so hopefully next week i'll go through the GPU settings :)
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
In my opinion it's at least for most cases obvious that in ExTweaks -50mV is highest stable UV setting due to the fact that most of the phones don't tolerate at 500 MHz voltage value lower than 950 mV (1000mV default - 50 mV = 950 mV). I personally experienced this issue. I could UV deeper on other frequencies (see my signature) but for this it is required to use more flexible UV tool like Voltage Control.

BTW this thread has always deserved 5 stars (I also contributed a little bit). I benefited a lot from this thread. Now I am using with Siyah kernel, let's say, less aggressive Magic Config modified to my needs (SCHED_MC set to "0" because in my opinion "2" doesn't make sense when hot plugging and adjusted a little CPU/GPU UV).
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
Just wondered if this problem can be the result of my UV settings. Everythings running fine so far but my music player keeps facing problems, i can listen to music but after about half hour it freezes but the rest of the phone is working fine, i've got to reboot the phone just to start playing music again. I'm guessing that rebooting will also reset how my batteries being used so monitoring it today with train travel etc is disrupted

scrap the bit about battery monitoring, just noticed the line breaks on a reboot but stil showing times etc :)
[Galaxy S II General] hughfollett:
Try to clear data and cache of the app.. if it still doesn't work, try to fix permissions through recovery..

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm... that sounds a bit weird to be honest mate. I've never had that happen.

Only stuttering when my screen-off frequency was set too low.

Try downloading another music app and using that instead to see if it happens again... it may well be a ROM issue.
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
Going to try the clear data etc along with downloading another app, the music wont get used again now til i'm on the train again monday but will have the new app on standby incase of any problems
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Well, you could have it on just for purposes of testing... ;)
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
true, will play it on silent for an hour otherwise my son going to be hunting for the phone, atleast in an hour when i turn it up again, if its froze then it would of stopped playing. Got my stand by music player sorted, cant live without music :D
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Good idea.

Music sets us free! What kinda stuff you into?
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
exactly :D i'm nicknamed the dubstep junkie but into alsorts aslong as theres a decent bassline then i'm happy, soon as its going through the ear phones on my travels i'm in my own world

UPDATE: After 2 hours of continuous play and with my son skipping tracks continuously, theres been no freezes etc, in the last 10 mins the volume has gone up randomly even though it stil says silent so guessing clearing cache etc worked but also it seems to be a problem with the player or ROM itself
[Galaxy S II General] tlf55:
Does if i use auto brightness + Min_BL to 110 and max_gamma 20 is better than using manual brightness to 40% everytimes + min_bl 30 and max_gamma 24 ? for battery life of course
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
This is todays results after an hour and 30 mins on the train, around 3 hours 30min of music, light use of internet (compared to what i'd usually use) and my son playing with the pin screen and music for atleast half hour. Only CPU UV'd -50
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
^Looks good mate.

5 hours screen-on time... easy!

Sent from my HTC One X using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
Thanks to your help so far :D atleast i know that on a usual day (no trains, music etc) the battery life should definitely be noticeable. Will stil watch it over the next few days seeing today was more concentrating on the music player so hopefully by the time i'm home i'll be able to show better results then possibly see if any other changes can be made but so far definitely happy with the CPU at -50
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
No worries mate, at least you know it can stay at -50mV.

Btw, if you're into trance stuff... you can download my sets by clicking the banner in my sig.
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
True, would you suggest doing anything with the GPU etc during the week?

I do listen to abit of trance at times so will give it a try when i home next week, its been a while since i listened to any other than when ever i get in my dads car with his Tiesto cd's, perfect when he's acting as a taxi service to the clubs haha
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
I seem to be having a problem with charging since doing the UV settings. My mates suggested changing the voltage back to stock just for charging so was wondering if theres an app i can use to make my phone switch to default voltage while charging then back to -50UV once the chargers unplugged?

So far i seem to get a max of 60% battery after full discharge and over night charge
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm... that sounds kinda weird. Maybe your battery sensor is playing games.

Try charging to full then taking the battery out for 2 mins and put back in. Boot up.
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
I've managed to fully charge by taken the battery out and putting it in a friends phone yesterday, put it back in mine and so far its charged tonight to 70% so hoping it was just a glitch and things go back to normal. Otherwise been impressed with battery life lasting around 12-13hrs with only the CPU UV'd :D
[Galaxy S II General] yoppi_fatal1ty:
permission first try,
[Galaxy S II General] tigerphil:
Just wondering, if i update siyah to the latest version and update my rom will i need to re do my UV settings or will they be saved to extweaks after doing both updates? The updated rom is non wipe if that makes any difference
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Neither Siyah will reset ExTweaks settings (stored in /data/.siyah folder) after flashing newest ver. nor a new rom (under condition that it's non wipe).
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Try what?

[Galaxy S II General] gamal001:
My phone can't work with 100 or 75 under volt. Only work with -50 . Why ?

I make same your setting .
[Galaxy S II General] red.hat:
What kernal are you using and what ROM are you on? Undervolting depends on a your kernel, phone hardware and rom. So if CPU Undervolting at 50 works for you then enjoy it.
[Galaxy S II General] gamal001:
Rom Neme77 / kernel : siyah 3.3.2
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Exactly as red.hat said. I can't UV all frequencies from my scalling range lower than -50mV too and it's not a tragedy for me. This is what my phone can do. But I recognized that for me "bottleneck"is 500MHz on which I am able to undervolt only -50mV (950mV). But I realized using in parallel second app - VoltageControl that I can UV even much deeper on other frqs (see my signature) what I recommend also to you. Just check how much you can UV on every single frq from your scalling range. Regards
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Not every device is the same, what MagicConfig used to do back in the early days is provide one stable config for everyone.

However, with so many modifications on the table nowadays in apps such as ExTweaks... this was no longer possible. Unless of course, I had a giant test base to start with.

So, now thats why I provide 3 different settings to suit devices with different voltage thresholds. You're not all supposed to use the Exteme UV values, you guys are supposed to try the three options and find out which works best for you.
[Galaxy S II General] Mario1968:
Hi geko95gek, I've try the less undervolted version of you magic config, but experienced two sod and two freeze, now try the relax version to see how it works for me.

Tanks you for sharing the settings

Siyah 3.5.2

Jkay V14.1
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Hi,

First I am glad to see ppl like you sharing their knowledge or even experience with UV and battery saving.

Now to the main reason:

I had 2.3.5 stock (removed all the bloatware) using ninpho kerenl and setCPU.

I udnervolted all the frequencies so my phone won't freeze, here are the details about the mV/profiles/governor (2nd post):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17201111&highlight=4+days#post17201111

No matter what I did with this combo above I could never get more then 3 and a half hours of screen time, even those 4 days you saw are 3 hours screen time.

Few days ago I flashed to RR 2.6.1 and I am using Siyah kernel, I read your post and decided to do whatever you did (your less aggressive profile).

surprisingly I didn't get 6 hours screen time, I (of course) got 3 hours screen time in 1 and half days.

In contrast to other users here, I read all your posts and posts by other and I still can't figure out what on earth I am doing wrong.

When I saw you got 6 hours screen time I couldn't understand how I can get twice the time I have now...

Please do tell me what I am forgetting ?

Should I install setCPU and set profiles ? maybe change to ondemand ?

Will be happy to read your opinion.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] gamal001:
Your correct.

I used exterme setting. But i change UV to -50.

My phone work okay now.

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Ok mate, please test the relaxed settings and see how it goes then post back here.

Thanks for your words mate, firstly. ;)

Initial MagicConfig took a lot of months work and testing. Now with this new version things are getting more and more configurable. ExTweaks now houses a massive amount of possible configurations, and to be truthfully honest I'm having a slightly harder time to keep the configs up to date as I do not possess an SGS2 anymore. :(

Thats why I have already appealed in this thread twice for people to come forward that can do some real world testing for me on their own devices. However, so far not many responses sadly.

With regards to your screen-on times... did you check for wakelocks using BetterBatteryStats app? Also, probably a good idea to look at your sync settings.

Sounds good mate, test for a few battery discharges and post back your experience. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] frogman:
Cheers Geko for providing your config been using it for a while now and these work a treat man.Been messing about with Go launcher Ex and no lag runs very smooth with your settings in fact the whole phone is running well Batt included Thanks very much for these EXCELLENT settings man great job. bfg/ondemand .

Thanks again cheers

Ty for some tips on how to safe battery!

Hey

Ty for the tips and voltage setting, especially the undervolt and underclock setting for the gpu.

Have always been a bit reserved when changing settings for the gpu, but no problem so far with your settings. ;-)

Trying ondemand / bfq right now, but i also rly like the smartassv2 govornor. So have a little testing to do!

And again, ty for the awesome tips and settings!
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Holy ****...

Got 15 hours (6+ hours screen on) today :eek:

So underclocking and undervolting the GPU also had some serious effect on my battery life.

Since I undervolted CPU + GPU with your config (+50 everywhere) I went from somewhere in the 4 hours range to 6 hours of screen time. Nice!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Wow mate, that is amazing. Of course as I said before that is the first case so far where these settings needed a slight tweak before you were able to enjoy full benefit of UV.

Glad it's all sorted now and you are happy with MagicConfig, even if it had to be adjusted slightly.

[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
The sync settings are off.

About the wakelocks, I do have few apps that are waking up the device but nothing special.

Since I moved to RR 2.6.1 which is ICS, I am thinking about flashing to stock 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 and removing all bloatware, flashing to Siyah kernel and try again.

As you can see I am blaming the rom for not doing a great job.

But on the other hand I wanted to hear your opinion about the governor, could it be that on demand is much more battery efficient then pegasusq ?

(and please answer the same question but this time about lulz governor)

thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm... I doubt it.

I would recommend trying CM9 instead, as thats what I took my battery readings with.

You can try the other governors yourself, however I didin't find them that effecient. Like I said before mate, the settings I give are starter configs. It's up to you to carry on and adapt them to your device.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Ok I'll try CM9.

Does this the latest Siyah kernel that support CM9 and stock 4.0.3 ?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes, pretty much every ICS ROM. Now also JB. ;)

Not bad dude, looks like your phone is awake a lot of the time though. While the screen is off.

You should check wakelocks and sync options.

There is always room for improvement. ;)

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Good idea mate. :)

Once you have found stable uc and uv then it's all about fine tuning your system to make sure it runs as smoothly as possible.
[Galaxy S II General] snappy123:
which would u recommend to use.

18 step cpu freq. 100mhz/200mhz/300mhz and so on

vs

the standard 6 step. 200mhz/500/mhz/800mhz ..

and

100mhz vs 200mhz for lowest freq

ive read somewhere that 100mhz actually consumes more than 200mhz. just wanna hear your opinion.

i am currently using UHLPS 4.0.3 rom with siyah 3.5.2
[Galaxy S II General] ata1918:
I know that pikachu(creator of thunderbolt script) recommends 100MHz. There are some different thoughts about this.

I personaly think that it doesn't matter that much, 100MHz is smooth enough on ICS.

The same is valid for the CPU frequency settings. Simple trial and error.
[Galaxy S II General] snappy123:
i've tried the thunderbolt script setting on extweak, for me it stutters alot in scrolling and i always set it back to linux kernal default. also to make sure it wasnt the cpu governor causing these problems i tried different cpu governor and i/o scheduler combos. it either made it worst or similar.

One of the biggest wakelocks around users that uses 4.0.3/4 is the Exchange service from stock mail.

EDIT:

one more question :D

3. Can we say that for every governor there is it's own UV ?

For example:

My limit for ondemend at 200Mhz is 850mV

But if I'll switch to pegasusq governor it could be less or more ?

Or even when you set your limit to mV at a specific frequency, it will be like this for every governor around ?
