Any tips for reducing heat when doing moderate stuff like browsing in Desktop mode or running Ingress? I get pretty good battery with Ktoonservative and sio, but I do notice the phone gets warm to the touch pretty fast. From idle 80-85 F to 91-95 F in a couple of minutes of use. I live in a tropical island, so the norma temp. for winter is around 85-90 :D

My tablet doesn't get that hot so fast, I know I got to take into consideration that the phone is smaller and everything is compacted and closer to each piece.

By the way i get -0.5% per hour drain on idle. Pretty cool if you ask me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
You can try undervolting. But I would need your entire settings to give you hood advice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jgaf:
Okies this is what I'm running:

ktoonservative (made some adjustment a couple hours ago to see if it does a difference, since I feel that the cpus are hitting the max clock to early and to often

down_threshold 65

sampling rate 20,000

up_threshold 75

up_threshold hotplug 77

I changed these settings really without knowing for sure what they do, I got a vague idea. But it did reduce the occurence of the cpus going into max for simple tasks.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Lower your down threshold and give the down threshold hot plug a lower value then the down threshold. Try some higher valuer for your sampling rate and set your max screen off ton 486 or higher.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
rise the voltage for your highest frequencies.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joederp:
It may not be able to go above certain frequencies, just the luck of the defects in the chip making. But, overvoltage will help. I know they are spec'd for 1.7GHz, but I'm surprised how much they can go over that.

liltitiz, I used your voltages and haven't had any problems (I added about 20mV to them all to be safe)

hi can u guide Me too some Overclock settings that are stable.. Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MdX MaxX:
I'm looking to get a good baseline before I start undervolting and overclocking. For the past 4 days I've used the default frequencies (384-1512), the ktoonservative governor, and the cfq I/O scheduler. Battery life has been great; I get at least 2.5 hours screen time before going into the red, and that's switching between LTE and WiFi all day.

My question is this: what's the deal with the I/O scheduler? I see many people using noop, but do the different schedulers really affect battery life significantly? I read up on them at one of the links in ktoonsez's kernel thread, but it all seemed really arbitrary to me. Is it just a trial-and-error sort of thing, like whatever works best for your own phone? I'm thinking I'll try sio for the next few days.

daily driver

96Mhz at 725mv and 2ghz at 1200mv ( It can run 2.1 ghz fine but I only enable it on benchmarks etc because it uses quite a bit more power than my 2ghz step)

currently using noop and pegasusQ and am very happy with it ( only used it for a day so still early to tell)

1st touch booster at 1350mhz

2nd touch booster at 918mhz

screen off at 594mhz (I can run lower but this step is still under 800mv so it still sips on battery)

when running benchmarks I switch on the 2.1ghz step and switch to performance and vr. currently have top spot at 9784 on antutu benchmark :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joederp:
No offense, but it is meaningless to mention the clock frequency without also saying what voltage and temp you were at.

I'm not sure how the kernel deals with overtemps, but the stock kernel does drop the clock to 1.1GHz at 57C and lower as you go up.

I wonder if some rebooting isn't the handling of the tz_sens_ whatever the thermals are.

Also, the chip is only meant for 1.7GHz. I can't believe it will even run for anytime at these high speeds.

It also seems to me the reboots occur when there is file access.. but that might just be me.

---------- Post added at 04:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------

They say sio.. but I am using battery widget and tracking the current used every minute. You can see a difference when the screen is off for an hour the scheduler makes a difference cfq seems the best for screen off, but I think uses more current when you are doing stuff. It is performance trade off for snappiness when accessing files.

What I really wish was that ktweaker had a setting for screen off min MHz and Voltage. It isn't useful just to set the max frequency. When the screen is on, I think it is rebooting because of using 96MHz and low voltage, like it can't respond fast enough to get back up to higher speed. I'd rather screen on set min to 384, but screen off allow it to throttle way down.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 11fabe:
im using 384 as my max on screen off profile...but i feel my tether slow? do you think is for undervolting or using a low mhz?

Also, does anyone have artifacts when using Gallery? At a certain undervolt point, it starts going nuts. My minimum is 594 w/ 930mv. Seems kinda high, as most people are hitting 850ish. If I go to 850, it'll be stable, but gallery and chrome will have artifacts all over, lines going spluuuuuuuuu.

I've only tested 2106Mhz and 1512Mhz.

1512Mhz is stable at 1v (1000mv). Have not tried lower. This is based on 30 min stability test (from Play Store) and 1 week usage on phone.

2106Mhz is stable at 1.250v (1250mv) Have not tried lower. This is based on 30 min stability test (from Play Store) and 1 week usage on phone.

I can run 2106Mhz 24/7 with now much impact on battery life and heat but I feel it doesn't really do anything for me. My usage of the phone is extremely simple, Facebook, Tapatalk, Email, Calls and SMS. That's it. Now, if 2106Mhz made for a smoother UI I would use it, but it really doesn't for me on ICS 4.0.4. I look forward to official JB, dying to have this phone run a little smoother =P

I'm have zen on KT's test kernel that he posted in his kernel thread. He posted it on the 21st. Might help you find it a little easier. If you can't find it let me know & I'll post you a link to it. It is a kernel for 10.1 though so you won't be able to use it on CM10.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Correct must be on cm10.1 for now to use that one. Its updated to linux kernel 3.057 :)

Tried both Zen and Row both were added to Kernel and after testing various workloads, transfers and benches ROW i/o is beating all if them. Zen is handling close to SIO/NOOP but sometimes random slow performance likely when read or writes were being starved though it gives read no latency and writes are scheduled in with deadlines it still is able to be overloaded. So testing on Zen handled good when it did but had inconsistent results differing from the last ones more often than not.

I had used a tuned BFQ setup before removing the latency using the tunables and often the best transfer rates overall since its hard to overload the i/o on the tuned BFQ. Then i tested ROW and was blown away. Tests as consistent as BfQ but even higher read and write rates. Test after test had consistent results.

Give them all a try. Having good i/o performance saves battery in itself.
