Again , amazing job buddy , best battery life , dorimanx 3.6 , resurrection 2.4
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Dorimmanx 3.6

What we talking on Standby and Screen time. using the settings
[Galaxy S II General] sid9922:
Mate, in your dorimanx 3.6 settings, do you used sched_mc? If yes, which value do you used? And i cant see the value of your Load_L1..is it 25%?
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Hi mate,

No, I always leave sched_mc set to "0" as it doesn't improve significantly the deep sleep.

About Load_L1, I've atm set it on stock, 20%, for more overall responsiveness.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Just wondered then, why some people enable Sched_MC and also gain a good battery life. for example

Win UV 4.0
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Just because enabled it doesn't mean you will get worst battery life. At least, you'll have the quite same battery life as before.

But, as Droidphile master and others said, Sched_mc isn't no more useful for our device.

[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
You mean with conservative governor ?

Strange, I thought Fluxi has fixed it on latest release... You should report this bug to him dude :p
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
So, might aswell be disabled if it doesnt do anything then!
[Galaxy S II General] lyndonguti:
i thought so hehe

if i try it to ondemnd + nop ...how much battery life will i get?..respect to the stock fluxi ofcourse
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Lolz that will be depending on your own usage mate. It's hard then to predict how much screen on time you'll get as I'm not a pretty good soothsayer :D

Anyway, I have configured ondemand with agressive threshold up and down to make it more battery saver.

You should get a good battery life experience too. :D

OK, here are some quick battery life results.

I was testing it Yesterday when my blondie girl friend made my device reboot twice so I couldn't archived my final test... Damned girl

Using Tapatalk, browser, sms, and few calls...

Anyway, Pretty good results I guess.

I'm happy with this version and RR 2.4 + my tweaks.

I will try your settings after a full charge cycle with stock setting and thanks for the detailed info on UV. My phone can't go as low as your phone so can we exchange our phones:p
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Hahaha I'm considering your offer my friend. But my precious is actually priceless :p

Do you have a 2000 mha battery or a 1650 one?

You really should try my settings and try to play with Extweaks. Such a great app deserves to be used ;)

I'm waiting for your incoming report.

Thanks dude!

Kernel: Dorimanx 3.6

Modem:XXLD3
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Hi guys,

Yes, I am using atm Dorimanx 3.6, with the "old school" duo : conservative + noop.

I think I will probably stick with it until I'll find a better combo which can provide me such a good batterylife and not so bad overall performance.

Let's cross the fingers for more better incoming kernels.

My 2 cents ;)
[Galaxy S II General] msquared:
Hey dud second cicle with thoravukk tomorrow or next i'm going to have the third and i'll post my results...

Seems good but we can't mod the bus neither with the pro app

Nice dude, I am indeed really waiting for some more thoravukk kernel feedback, since It has been a while I didn't flashed it. :)

Maybe it could be a good surprise.

So, you're very welcome !

Thanks bro.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
I'd say the ROM might be helping the Battery life. Not sure how much impact a ROM has though!
[Galaxy S II General] themightyone:
I've heard good things about these settings. Which kernel would you recommend using it with to get the best battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Depending on the ROM you're using of course :rolleyes: :

- If it's SAMMY : go ahead for Phenomenal Extreme, or Abyss 1.2U

- If AOKP/AOSP : try Fluxi or Dorimanx 3.6

Cheers :D
[Galaxy S II General] sid9922:
@ram3n

So right now your settings with dorimanx is in the post #1 with conservative+noop right mate?

--------------------------------------------------

Main Rom: Resurrection Remix 2.4

Sub Rom: Rootbox 1.2

Kernel: Dorimanx 3.6

[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Absolutely, You've got it :)

However, I've already moved to another kernel. I'm trying Darknight 1.5 ATM.

Let's see how it goes.
[Galaxy S II General] grzesdroid:
1 is fluxi?? What is better ??

tapatalk@ SGS ||
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
In fact, Fluxi is more stable in his way, and so is batterylife too.

But, let me some more time to test more kernel to find out which is the most "awesome" :D
[Galaxy S II General] xanthrax:
ram ! i noticed verry good battery life on dorimanx/rr but somehow i found the UI a little bit slow . might be do to my "dirty" 16 gb class 10 sd card , not formated yet since my latest htc hd2 ...

-=-=-

and another noob/stupid/off topic question ... do we need ext3/4 partition on sd card for sg s2 ? down below is what my titanium shows

system 528

internal 2.11 =-= is this different on yours or is default ?

sd card12.3 =-= this might be the internal storage (named sd card ?!?)

ext. sd card 14.8 =-= this might be my sd card which still has the est4 partition on it of 1 gb

i will erase and klean everything and i`ll start all over from scratch

thanx !!!

There is a very comprehensive article in the german forum "Android Hilfe" about battery consumption. It's focused on SGSII, and includes accurate measurements, charts etc. Best article I found so far on this matter!

No mate, I may be worng but no specially needed ext3/4 partition...

I can confirm you that I have the same values on TBP "overview menu" :

- system ROM : 528 Mb ! Same

- internal : 2.11 GB ! Same with RR 2.4

- sd card = is your internal storage, even the name can be confusing.

- ext. sd card = is actually you real micro SD card.

Hey,

very interesting article you've found matey. I will take a look tonight before sleeping.

Thanks :D

Thanks for your input mate !

Do you use generally 3G data instead of Wifi ? If so, battery life isn't so bad I think, specially with your stock battery. :)
[Galaxy S II General] msquared:
Yup mobile data always on(offline during night,i lost 2%),20 mins of youtube,a lot of tapatalk and whatsapp

Maybe with next one i'll reach 4h and half i guess ;)
[Galaxy S II General] xanthrax:
merci beaucoup mon ami !!!
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Mais de rien, you're welcome dear maltese friend :D
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Okay guys,

As promised, here is some quick test with RR 2.4 + latest Fluxi XX.02-beta5.

- Still using my X-TRΞM UV & Tweaks settings as always

- Performed by the duo : Conservative + Noop (tweaked as described in the OP)

- KH3 Modem

- With a 2000mha samsung battery

- What i've done : Tapatalking like a nolife, browsing and watching some videos on the web, some SMS, Friendcaster, and some other things I don't remember...

- Unfortunately, I had to stop the test at 55%, cause I was about to reboot in recovery for doing nausty things I can't tell you :D

AFAIK, the battery consumption screen on is pretty damned good, unlike deep sleep which can probaly get improved a bit more to my mind.

However, I must admit I was really surprised by this result. This is so far maybe one of the best one I ever had since a long time...

*happy face* :D:D

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] msquared:
@ramen
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Judginh by this then, my 2000mah battery must be dying! hmm.

Has anyone tried this?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...r#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmRta2hvLmxibCJd

It basically disabled Data/Wifi when the screen goes off. Re-enables whn it comes back on. Really small footprint too
[Galaxy S II General] -Loom-:
Here are the most relevant conclusions from the thread I just posted recently:

- Display + CPU basic standby value is 370 mW. As long as the display is black, this value will remain the same, regardless of display brightness. Display only consumes power if non-black pixel are shown. With a complete white display, power consumption is 5,2 mW per percentage of brightness.

- Sensor button illumination consumes 40 mW. Almost not noticable.

- LED torch consumes 1,3 W

- Bluetooth & active GPS consumes 110 / 180 mW, quite economic!

- Bluetooth & GPS only consumes energy if actively used. So, they can stay enabled without consuming power.

- HSPA upload consumes a crazy amount of energy: 2 W !

- EDGE doesn't save much power compared to HSDPA

- 2G / 3G switching is completely useless. Phone takes longer to enter deep sleep, and with each switch, a new network scan is initiated that will cost about 800 mW for about 7 seconds. So, those screen-off -> 2g profiles are costing more energy then they save!

- CPU is most energy efficient at 200 mHz

- Overclocking surely drains your battery. 1600 mHz at full load consumes 5,9 W !

- If you have to conserve battery, it's very wise to limit max. CPU frequency to 800 or 1000 mHz. Uses 60% / 70% power compared to 1200 mHz.

- WiFi should be enabled even when display is off. Otherwise there are more partial wakelocks to be expected

- BLN / NoLED actively prevents deep sleep, thus using 200 mW compared to 8 mW when in deep sleep

That was just a small amount of information from this thread. I can really recommand a careful read. Many 'myths' are busted here ...
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Good post, objective and factually accurate as is your other. Bravo.
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Great, thanks for your summary mate !

It is actually one of the most usefull thread i've ever read (in german) :D

For sure it helps a lot for newbies and more seasoned users !

PS : I have only a doubt with this statement :

WiFi should be enabled even when display is off. Otherwise there are more partial wakelocks to be expected..
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Seriously ?

According to my experience and other reports, most of this kind of apps are indeed useless as long as you can do the job manually. They do suckin more battery than saving.

My 2 cents :)
[Galaxy S II General] -Loom-:
Thanks, I felt the same. This guys surely spent a lot of time with his measuring equipment. All credit belongs to him!

After reading this thread, you can only come to the conclusion that all the kernel tweaking stuff is just finetuning and barely making a difference compared to the real energy eaters in your phone ; )

Regarding the WiFi screen-off rule: The author stated that if WiFi always have to get re-enabled when the screen turns on, there are more wakelocks during this time. And regardless of this: If you turn off WiFi, 3G/H is automatically used instead. And this surely eats more battery then a strong stable WiFi connection.

I might be wrong about the last one ... When WiFi is actually set to OFF when screen turns off, is the phone having 3G/H data connection *instead* or no connection at all? Have to try this some time.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Was just a thought ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
+1 for the first part. I (and probably many of you) have already experienced this same wakelocks when you alternate wifi or date on/off. That's why increasing wifi.supplicant_scan_interval can be helpful.

What I've understood is WiFi should be enabled even when display is off, as long as you wanna use it, of course.

Moreover, when Wifi's off, 3G data shouldn't then been activated automatically. Otherwise, This is logically nonsense :confused:

I'm using R.R. I was having pretty bad battery life on Syiha kernel, so i thought I'd give Fluxi a try using your xxtweaker settings. I'm trying the ONDEMAND settings that you posted, but I was wondering what you mean by "ONDEMAND + NOOP" as having the best results. What is noop?
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Noop is a scheduler such as sio, or bfq for example. It matches very well with ondemand or conservative, Mate.

[Galaxy S II General] themightyone:
Thanks. So do I access the noop somewhere? Is it in xxtweaker? Or am I sounded like an idiot right now? Sorry for the noob questions, just trying to get my battery life sorted out.

[Galaxy S II General] Gab!:
First of all , thanks ram3n for the settings (:

Actually, i have the Fluxi kernel(with RR 2.4) and i think that the battery life is better than the siyah kernel(i used it always without any extweaks settings modified , i'm new on this). But i feel that the siyah kernel is more faster than the fluxi kernel ... so anyone knows the recommended settings of extweaks to improve the battery life ( siyah kernel 3.3.2)
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Flashed CM9 Yesterday. Flashed Fluxi. Had a tidy up on my Internal Card.

Glad you've finally got it mate ;)

Conservative will always rule. :cowboy:

It works fine here with latest versions.

Be sure you have xxtweaks rc1. Otherwise, try to wipe app cache data and reinstall again, or report it to fluxi.

Thanks , well i like siyah kernel cause its smoother than other kernels , i think i have to be happy with it :/
[Galaxy S II General] themightyone:
I had my first day using RR, Fluxi and your "ondemand" settings, and battery life was a lot better. The phone was on for 9 hours with 40% battery life left. The phone wasn't used at all for the first 3-4 hours, but still much better then what I would get on siyah kernal. Then, the phone crashed when I tried to download an album using Deezer, and when I restarted it was down to 19%.

I'm charging it again now, so hopefully I'll have a smooth day with it tomorrow. Thanks for the settings ram3n. Happy with what I'm seeing so far.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
So i got 6 hours 25 mins screen time. Maybe could have had more, but had one random lockup and rebooted the phone twice!

Going to charge, reset fuel guage, have another go. Maybe Fluxi will have released another update too!?

I have noticed my media scanner seems to be a bit eratic. it had i think 12 mins awak time. Im guessing, the more music i have, the longer it runs?

Edit: I'm also getting about 1-2 freezes a day using fluxi and ondemand settings. Any advice? What voltage setting do i need to change, and how?
[Galaxy S II General] Tak3r07:
Go to Cpu tab and increase the voltage for each step by +25
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Hi there,

As said above, my X-TRΞM UV are indeed EXTREME UV values. So, some SOC may can't support it.

As usual, if you experience, just raise voltage +25mv for every step from 100 to 500 Mhz first. if still persists, do the same for 500 to 800 Mhz.

:cyclops:

Same.

Your device may doesn't like very well Extreme UV settings.

No problem, just raise voltage +25 mV as said before. This should make your phone more stable.

Cheers for all your reports guys :laugh:
