@geko95gek: Any (good) reason/explanation why you enabled SCHED_MC? I haven't seen anyone else commenting on that in this thread either (granted, I just searched the thread, I won't read 700+ posts)

droidphile in his magnificent thread explains that for the N.E.A.K. kernel on an SGS2 it should be left unchecked as it is redundant.

Hmm, any ideas on how I go about fixing it?

Not really, however it hasn't been fully proven that it doesn't do anything. I used to use it on the old Siyahs and I'm using it now on N.E.A.K.

CheckROM v6
[Galaxy S II General] virus786:
install this: BetterBatteryStats and charge your phone fully and reboot, then take a screen shot / post the log when you phone's battery is near empty.

Also are you willing to do a complete wipe? and start from scratch? ie. lose all your settings and system stuff, you can backup your apps with titanium backup pro though to restore later.

Because then I would recommend you do a full wipe and re-install Checkrom fresh. then restore your user apps ONLY with titanium backup. but 1st run BetterBatteryStats. It looks like you phone is not entering deep sleep.

back to 1200

Hi Guys,

I am using siyah 2.6.13 and checkrom revo hd v6.

I used bfq and ondemand. Did all the settings in voltage control as suggested in the first page. After i rebooted, i found that the max frequency is back to 1200 (i had set 1000). The rest of the settings were all there as i had set (according to page 1 in this thread). Any idea why this is happening? This is the first time i am using voltage control. I never had any other similar app installed before.

Any ideas what i should do?

cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] kremator:
When You finish setting up Voltage Control just hit options and save as boot settings recommended.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Thanks to everyone again for your constant feedback, it is a very important piece of information for me. It helps to determine what kind of performance everyone is getting on various kernels coupled with MagicConfig. Please continue to do so in order for me to keep this config up to date and as universal as possible. Thank you!

PS. I have added a signature code at the end of the first post to make it easier for you guys to link to this thread in your signatures.

Hi what settings is best to use on the new siyahkernel for ICS please?
[Galaxy S II General] aqualeris:
Just flashed Siyah 2.6.13 and installed both ExTweaks and VC. Why is it that the GPU tab on VC disappeared? Is it because ExTweaks is installed? Is it recommended to use both ExTweaks and VC or just one for better battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] LegendZenify:
The GPU tab on VC does not appear when Extweaks is installed.

Xan made VC's gpu tab mutually exclusive with Extweaks.

Use Extweaks to adjust gpu settings instead - it offers more adjustability anyways and ability to adjust 3-step gpu settings

It is recommended to use both VC and Extweaks (VC for cpu voltage settings and Extweaks for kernel exclusive features)

Refer to droidphile's post for a better understanding of the parameters in Extweaks - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23616564&postcount=6

Battery life will not see an improvement if you do not change anything at all but you can probably use Extweaks to tweak for more battery-oriented settings and VC to undervolt.

Just curious - but why didn't you use Siyah 2.6.14 instead?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
These settings do not relate and have not been tested on ICS. Yet.

I will do that when ICS becomes more stable, user friendly and with more custom kernels to choose from. :)

My default charger setting is 650mV. Should I change it to 700mV?
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Patience my friend. I will do it once CheckROM ICS is released. ;)

It's not a question of who dares... its a question of who wants to get black screens, freezes and reboots. UV'ing like that doesn't provide much extra benefit with regards to battery life.

Voltage Control - GPU Settings

Hi there,

I applied the recommended CPU Voltages and my phone works fine till know and consumes less battery. Thank you for that.

But the only options Voltage Control allows me are: Scheduler, Governor and CPU Voltages. I don't have the GPU and charging settings like shown on the first page of this thread.

I am running Hydrogen ICS with Siyah 3.1 rc6.

Can somebody help?

Thanks

Odd, I was fairly certain that music playback held a permanent wakelock, thus any drain below 4%/hour (at least on a 1650mAh battery or anything close to that) would be very surprising. Even sitting idle but wakelocked is usually around 4.5%/hour for me.
[Galaxy S II General] NJGSII:
2-3% per hour while listening to music is common place for me. That's before I even started to uv.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Well one entire day of using the exact setup I had but undervolted (Geko's settings + 50mV)

I have 10% left, 14+ hours since unplugged (fully charged), 60%/40% wifi/ 3G all day, 5 hours screen time. Definatly see the effect of undervolting! I know it sounds stupid, but I had my doubts how much extra battery undervolting would give. It seems enough to make it worth doing :D

I installed the control voltage.

But when I used the setcpu I had the option of putting to use 100 to 500 MHz when the screen was off.

I also configured to decrease the processor when the battery was below 35%.

Can I use along with the voltage control setcpu? will give a conflict?

The Voltage does not have that option of letting the processor lower when the screen is off right?
[Galaxy S II General] stylez:
Na its just a long dark tunnel... :D

Sorted ;)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
It won't conflict to my knowledge, however I have to say that in my experience it's really not necessary. Ondemand already has a built-in screen-off profile and SmartassV2 sticks to lower frequencies anyway even though it hasn't got a cap.

I would say try it both ways and see what works best for you.

Thanks matey, btw that origin unknown cd is ace. Real jungle from back in the day. :D

thank you very much for giving us these settings. i have one question i am running juice defender to save battery life. is that needed after applying your settings and i have disabled setcpu. i am just using voltage control app.
[Galaxy S II General] :
unistall setcpu first. leave voltage control and unistall juice defender. that drains more battery than it is suppose to be saving. then once you done all those steps reboot and then apply the settings of Geko on voltage control. make sure you save on boot by pressing the menu button after you put your settings. reboot the phone and let the magic work

Getting more battery life out of it and still on first cycle since i changed my Kernel and Under volted, am hoping will see increase in life once the battery has cycled a few times...

Im not sure if thats due to undervolting too low, or if the Market version is dodgy , because i got no other problems on other apps...

This post was so helpful. In checkrom v6, I had no problem with the tutorial, and now I was able to squeeze some battery out in ICS.

OK. The freezes were being caused by the Lazy governor...upping all voltages by +25 didn't change anything. Most of the time it was freezing when waking the phone up ie... unlocking the screen. However, Ondemand is working fine so far with MagicConfig 0.3.2 voltages.

If you guys wanna try it on any other ICS kernel please do it at your own risk. Also as this is yet untested please stick to Ondemand governor to avoid running into issues.
