[Droid Eris Android Development] Excessiveidling:
Is compcache really needed with the 20000, 80, 0, 0 settings? I've been runnin fine 748/19 main screen and a sleep profile of(screen off profile) of 528/19 and a battery<30% of 480/19. Ran pandora for about an hour no crash or anything
[Droid Eris Android Development] helljack6:
Just wanted to chime in on this great discovery.

I'm currently running xtrSense and using this strategy as well. My set up is as follows

Normal Use

19200/710400 - On Demand

Screen off

19200/480000 - On Demand/Priority 95%

Advanced Options

2000000, 60, 0, 200

I took the phone off the charger (computer using PDAnet) at 4pm CST with a full charge. At the time of this writing, my battery dph is averaging just under 1%. This is including two phone calls and several text messages. This is outstanding information as I often looked for ways to get this type of dph % when I was hybridizing Blackberry Tour operating systems.

Props!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
My experience on xtrROM was that 19.2 was too slow for me. Just as an example, if I was away from home and came back, it would not reconnect to my WiFi router until I woke the phone. Since I have crap 3G reception at home, this means that I was missing some sync notifications. It may be different for you, but I had to bump up my minimums to 122.

Note that on kaos froyo, this is not an issue; 19.2 is just fine for the min setting with screen off.
[Droid Eris Android Development] BOY_:
In the KaosFroyo thread they are starting to question the effectiveness of OC on performance. Several people are clocking down to stock-ish and noticing no appreciable change in performance. Battery life guys may want to take note and experiment?

I noticed today while on the road (3 hr drive for a business trip) I left WiFi on and it killed my battery quick (KFv30). Once I turned it off I was good. On 2.1 I never had a problem with WiFi being a battery hog, at least not this bad. Suggestions? Is there a toggle setting for screen off? Gracias.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
Funny, I had already done that. I should know tomorrow.

As for the WiFi thing, my WiFi is active always, and I am able to get 30-34 hours battery (I have the Seidio 1750 battery); the best I was able to get with xtr was 24-28 hours. I do have my WiFi set to sleep never in the advanced settings.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Zalatorisaurus:
Set new profiles. Charging now. See how it goes and report back tomorrow.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
Yes many are Beginin to question these methods but all phones are different

So like I said its an experiment
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
So sick of setcpu causing massive problems on my phone. Uninstalled it. Just wasn't worth it anymore.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Also anyone on kaos froyo is using a kernel that overclocks quite a lot... so of course they're saying that overclocking more isn't much different lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] chris22_2:
I would love to get this going, but I can't even get setcpu installed. I tried it through astro. Should I try something else?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
after running this 24hrs

phone runs real good

but i am not seeing much difference in battery with any of the settings in this thread
[Droid Eris Android Development] luca108:
the only issue i have with this setup is that when i listen to music and i turn the screen off, the music stutters. otherwise, kudos.
[Droid Eris Android Development] armoir:
Thanks for this

I'm running the "holy grail" of settings

Instantly I had improved linpack scores from 4.8 to 5.2

Don't know about the battery yet, but that has not been a problem

I highly suggest the 3500mah battery, my phone should go for a week now ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Linqua:
im getting some pretty good results for performance and improved battery life. i dont have any numerical stats like drain per hour atm, ill do that after tomorrow morning.

anyway my settings are:

default

min 19 max 710

screen off

min 19 max 480

priority 95

temp > 40C

min 19 max 528

priority 90

battery < 40%

min 19 max 528

priority 50

sampling rate 20000

up threashold 80

nice load 0

bias 0

kaosfroyo v31

adw launcher

the bias seems to be the key to the music skipping, no bias, no skipping even when screen is off. i am planning to experient with the max bias i can get without skipping tho tomorrow.

Edit: I'll also add to that that it runs at a very cool temperature compared to before. I don't think I've ever picked it up to see an idle temp of 79 F. Aside from after I had an overheat once and put it in the fridge to cool it haha

Edit 2: also I forgot to say my auto killer is on aggressive
[Droid Eris Android Development] helljack6:
It's been 14 hours since my last post in this thread with regards to my battery and set up and my battery has only dropped about 18% equalling roughly about a .7% dph. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
All

The purpose of this tread is to conserve power while the screen is off and idle

While it on you you are doing stuff it will drain at the same speed

All depends on the users set up

Tweak it till you fond your own personal settings
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ty07allstar:

No really huge loss in performance. Read the kernel was overclocked on this rom not sure how that affects the battery or differs from what we set in setcpu but so far seem to be conserving some battery
[Droid Eris Android Development] playpolo4life:
Thats amazing. What setcpu/autokiller (if applicable) settings are you using? Also, what ROM are you on?

EDIT: Just read a few pages back. Nevermind haha
[Droid Eris Android Development] dannyboy988:
So I've given up on trying to get music to work with the low minimum clock speeds for now. I think maybe it could have something to do with the current ROM I'm using (KaosFroyo v31), so I will probably revisit it in the future. For now I will keep my minimum at 245, which I believe is the default minimum for the Eris. I have, however, been using the most recent OP settings (with the exception of the MIN speeds) that are giving me the best battery life I have ever had on this phone. Normally I unplug my phone from the charger around 6am, and by 5 or 6pm I get the "less than 15%" warning if I don't give it an extra charge somewhere during the day. Now, with these settings, my phone has lasted me until almost midnight with 30% left!

I think that the key to this is having advanced settings (specifically Sampling Rate) that allows your phone to stay at the lowest set clock speed while it is not being used. I noticed with other settings (a lot of settings that people have been recommending) that if I watch the main screen in SetCPU, the clock speed is constantly bouncing up and down and speeds up to high clock speeds even when the phone is doing nothing. With these settings, I watch the main screen while my phone isn't doing anything and the clock speed stays at the minimum for the most part.

So, especially for those that are having issues with the music skipping, I highly recommend using the most recent settings in the first post and just use 245 for the minimum instead of 19.

Here are my current settings:

MAIN: 245 - 710

SCREEN OFF: 245 - 480

TEMP >40: 245 - 528

SAMPLING RATE: 100000

yea, "your mileage may vary" is definitely true here. I also noticed that if i charge it with anything other than the OEM phone charger, it drains a little faster. it seems like it didnt charge it fully or something.

Is this happening to anyone else?
[Droid Eris Android Development] luca108:

[Droid Eris Android Development] woodi5359:
I've been playing with all this for a few days now. No real conclusive results yet but I've been running the latest settings on the front page and do get the music lag playing files off the sd card but I usually listen to pandora for music and it streams perfectly at these settings.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drtchocky:
This might be a very Noob question.... but you say Temp < when I see the only option is Temp >? How do you get it to be <

And then What does 40 mean? Celsius? or Farenheit?

Thanks in advance....
[Droid Eris Android Development] chimpsnest:
I also am a Noob @ this and appreciate this question, been trying to wrap my head around the SetCPU options, afraid to do much w/it for fear of breaking the phone. (how bad can you mess your phone up?)

Is there a FAQ on SetCPU? I've googled a bit but haven't seen a "dummies guide" to it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigbyrobot:
It was probably a miss type temp greater than 40 degrees Celsius, try only using suggested settings for advanced and the most harm I've found tweeking profiles is a laggy phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
It is temp >. The purpose is to allow you to set a lower clock speed when the temperature is higher than a specific threshold. It is measured in celsius, but, if you look at the setting, it specifically says degrees C.

HTC's published operating temp range spec for the Eris is 0C-40C, which is why I use 40C as my temp threshold.
[Droid Eris Android Development] aznguyen316:
what does it mean priority at 95 or 90? How do we set that? On setcpu 1.5.4 autodetect.

*edited* figured it out.. got 2.02
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
I've always had the default 710 mhz enabled that is the common setting for most custom roms. I was thinking about using setCPU to go back to the stock 528mhz/245mhz setting. I would do the minimum lower but any lower than 245 and audio seems to stutter on MP3's, listen, etc. What do you guys recommend for all of the settings. Also have any of you that have done this noticed a considerable amount of lag after getting used to the 710 setting? How about increased battery life?

My current settings:

528 max/245 min

Screen off- 480 max, 245 min (95)

Temp >40- 480 max, 245 min (90)

Sampling Rate- 100000

[Droid Eris Android Development] rigbyrobot:
I have tried going back to stock clock speed with very little lag, some apps that use heavy processing will stall a bit but its not horrible, I clock mine to 604 for better bat life under heavy use and see no lag vs the stock 710.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CGriffiths86:
Oh, ok. Good to know. How do my other settings look?

[Droid Eris Android Development] Ty07allstar:
How much of an improvement in battery life have you seen when running 528 compared to 710?

Sent from my ERIS
[Droid Eris Android Development] kbfirebreather:
I've been very unsuccessful with getting better battery life than without using setCPU. I've been lazy and haven't been putting setCPU on my girlfriends phone and with our phones off we pretty much go 1 for 1 with losing battery. Last night we both lost 50% battery after 8 hours with screens off. I've also wiped twice to see if it was a bad install on V31. When I was on V29, without setCPU, I was getting better battery life.

Also, I've noticed my phone loves to go to 1x quite frequently while my eris friends around me have solid 3G.

Any ideas why this is happening?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigbyrobot:
You could need to flash a new radio, but becareful that's risky. But if your jumping from 1x to 3g alot your phone is probably searching for towers which burns battery fast, what's your time with out signal? Look under settings >phone info>battery > then find what has been using the battery, if cell stand by is at least 30% id look into flashing a new radio, if your time without signal is 50% you probably have the 50% bug and the airplane mode trick will probably fix your issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kbfirebreather:
It's saying Cell standby is 3% but I rebooted yesterday and my uptime hasn't been much on this last charge so this may be a bad sample.

Also, my baseband version (which I believe is the radio) is 2.40.00.01.22 which I feel is a bit out dated.

I think I'm gonna wipe flash V32 of KaosFroyo and see how that works out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
My tws is always at zero

Also where you live affects battery life to so battery life varies person to person

Make sure u read the op fully n try different tweaks

[Droid Eris Android Development] woodi5359:
With this talk about radio versions I started thinking could that have a lot to do with why people can get such varied results with the same settings? I was running 2.41.04.02.02. Then just went to 2.42.01.04.27 for experimentation but my signal seems to be real week with kayosfroyo v32 so I am going back to 2.41.04.02.02.

I was thinking it might be helpful to list radio version along with setcpu settings to see if there is any further correlation there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigbyrobot:
Well...its radio version to an extent, but whichever radio version will work best for you is relative to location, and if your in a bad coverage area changing your radio might not help, if you notice your 3g bouncing to 1x and back your searching for signal and that's harsh on your battery
[Droid Eris Android Development] kbfirebreather:
Wiped and flashed V32 this afternoon and now after ~9 hours of use, my cell standby is at 27%. Should I worry about updating the radio? This is also with doing a *228.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigbyrobot:
27% time with out signal, or 27% battery use? If its 27% time with out signal and you know for sure there is good Verizon cell coverage in the places you've been, then you might want to start to think about flashing a radio, but be very careful flashing a radio is the quickest way to brick a phone, do mucho research, get check sums for your dl
[Droid Eris Android Development] jdog94:
what are you advanced settings
[Droid Eris Android Development] kbfirebreather:
27% battery use, I'm confused how to check time without signal.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I'm surprised toggle 2G isn't brought up in this topic. It's a huge battery life saver that comes with cyanogentazz.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zwade01:
When you select cell standby under battery use, it would be right there. If you don't see tws, you have none.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kbfirebreather:
It appears I have none then. My battery issue must be something else.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ty07allstar:
I agree. Kaos, will you be implementing this into the rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rigbyrobot:
I believe its an option in the power widget included with the rom, but if I understand correctly 2g and 3g use the same amount of battery, I think it would be better to turn off data when not in use and/or becareful of the widgets and programs you use and the frequency they sync.
[Droid Eris Android Development] deezy111:
I had the same problem and burned through about 50% battery in 8 hours. I flashed the new radio last night before bed and only burned up about 4% in 8 hours. It made a HUGE difference. I got the one earlier in this thread that was for the Hero. It makes a huge difference and yes I have my setcpu set with the "perfect" settings.

Im using the exact same settings as the first post. The most recent ones of course. I think the biggest change was the new radio I flashed. I noticed me phone going from 1g -> 3g a bit more than I wanted draining battery faster than it should. The radio has stabilized my 3g connection allowing for a better battery life. I did a full charge and im at 97% after about 5 hours. All the people that are complaining about the settings should look into flashing a new radio. Just be very careful as it can brick your phone. Im not responsible for anyone bricking their phones flashing a new radio.

Just backup SetCPU with Titanium then uninstall it and when you want it back reinstall it and restore the data with titanium.
