I have the 2.1 siyah kernel and i left it in perfomance govener for a few hours by mistake is it ok too run 1.6ghz for a few hours stright
Actually SGS2 is too fast already and i see no need for OC at all
Anyway, i don't really know about that kernel, but i believe that at 1,6GHz it increases voltage which isn't too good thing and might reduce processors life time.

Unless you make 100% usage at 1.6 ghz for some straight hours, its not going to harm you and your mobile except your battery life
Heat is a cpus worst enemy. Also keep the voltage in mind when ocing. Your phone will only be running at 1.6 under full load so a couple of hours of max activity will get the phone hot and with heat come instability.

I dont know if it was running %100 cpu but it was at 1600mhz the whole time right now everything is ok but it seems to get slightly warm quick and runs 31 celius battrey but that might just be normal

31 sounds right

Sup guys so i didn't see one.of these threads so im making.one if you guys want post pics or just write down the amount of battery life you get, which Rom, what tweak, screen time and total life on a single charge and the size of the battery being used and heavy moderate or light use
Lets see who has the best battery skils

1) You didn't even post a pic and it's your thread.
2) I think this has already been done before.

saurom wins best battery in my books
i went on a craze testing different roms specifically for battery life. the best battery i got was using saurom gb rom. 1.5 days!! i would say i was aiming for light/moderate usage at the time.
i got decent usage on seraphim ics rom, more on the heavy usage side when i was testing this rom. little over 12hrs. i love it graphically and how smooth ics is, but since im on my phone alot saurom suited my power taste better.
to save as much battery as possible, my config:
- antutu battery saver app
- brightness always at a minimum
- vibrate always off, silent at office, sound only everywhere else
- screen filter app in the dark
- wifi off (test purposes, its a given u'll save more when on wifi)
- auto sync off (im always on it so refreshing apps i need on the fly was good enough, i dont always need to know who emails or facebooks me every sec)

Not my best compared to GB but good enough for me. This is on an Anker 2500 mah battery on ics alpha 2. Usually get a little better with oem battery

Another battery thread and another thread with people posting how long the battery lasts...
SCREEN ON time people. IMO the most important stat you can post for these battery threads. Who cares if you phone lasts 17 days...but the screen was only on for 5 mins.
My best is just over 4 hours. Haven't quite gotten that again tho.

Agree. Screen time should be 90% determination. Here are mine. I'll be able to get to 4 hours screen time with Juice Defender and RootDim.

I assume everyone who have this awesome battery life is not using stock ROM?
I have stock ROM, rooted and can never achieve those kind of battery life... no matter what kind of battery savings measure I did.

Best so far
I'm rooted on stock gb, using Da_G's OC kernel with no battery saving options or apps enabled.
Of the 1.5 s4 in the One X... I have my incredible 4g overclocked to 1.5 and it runs smooth as butter and stable. Ran through stress tests and benchmarks and its a go....

If you happen to keep running this for a full day, would you mind reporting back how much the overclock affects the battery life? Thanks a lot for this, it's great news!
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
depending on usage, I imagine it would be minimal. I assume the CPU underclocks itself when idle and only goes up to 1.5 during heavy usage like playing a game or maybe launching an app. so if you aren't doing this most of the time, then I would imagine the power usage would be pretty much the same. I'd be more interested in how much hotter the phone gets when playing a game.

Hmm... That is a little bit more of an effect than I expected.
Of course, we will probably be able to minimize the effect overclocking has on battery life by installing custom kernels (once we have them) with more battery efficient CPU governors. As far as I know, the default CPU governor for Android is still ondemand, which scales up to the maximum frequency very easily. Something like smartassv2 or lazy would probably do a better job.

I am going away to Belgium for two and a half weeks. I will unlikely have access to a wall outlet. I have 7 batteries for my S3. So at the moment i am trying all the ways possible to increase the battery life of my S3. I run a stock rom with a siyah kernal. I use stweaks to undervolt my cpu but 100mv and have the max freq. set to 700 ghz. I also have it locked to one core.
Does any of this help increase battery life.
Any other suggestions?
Grateful for any help.
hmmm battery saving app might help
also black theme will help and black background
powersaving govener will help 2
anyway why 7 batteries :/ u could bought 2zero lemon ones and enjoyed
Cause I constantly have my phone in a trident kraken case. I am well aware of the zero lemon batteries as my friend has one. But it would require serious kidding of my case to accommodate a zero lemon battery in my case. Plus the batteries were only £5 each.

owh good for you
and i agree with you about the case thing it becomes a tank with zero lemon since its 7000mah something but i saw someone modifying a utter defence case for it at least it looked like a cool tank
anyway with some tweaks you will get a good battery life though it all depends on how you use the phone for example if its in sleep mode it can last for 6 days on one battery but full use your looking at 6 hour on screen probably
With what I have atm I can get get 5 hours of the screen on with the cpu running flat out at 700mhz on two cores. I also have a solar charger with me so I should be fine. Do u think reducing the clock speed further will help?

Would flashing a different rom make a difference, such as a really stripped down one that is compatible with dual booting on the siyah kernal. Also is there a way I could limit the apps that are allowed to run. I already have juice defender to limit the apps that have connectivity.

There are millions of battery posts on here to read . Also a number of how to get better battery life posts .
Simplest in my view is to carry a spare battery .

Does anyone know of an application which can control which apps are allowed to run.

Fyi, they do have electricity in Europe. Even if you're backpacking there are places to charge.

............giving you a great opportunity to practise language skills, engage with the locals and, dare I say it........ask if you could possibly charge your phone.....you never know, you might get offered a meal,a bed for the night or who knows what!
That's what traveling is about, not notching up destinations, it's about engaging with people, their culture, their ways.
Just a little food for thought

ill look into it
Delete all your apps (especially google apps) which u don't need. Turn off account sync, this is what the most battery drains. If u are in uncovered area, turn flight mode on, steadily searching for net could cause battery drain too.
I have installed the padawan jb v2 on my samsung At&t note. Everything has been pretty smooth up until a week ago. My phone has been running hot lately. I thought it was from overclocking ( although the phone has been overclocked for some time now) so I downgraded the overclocking. I'm still having the issue. Any thoughts or ideas? Also it's eating up battery life now. I'm pretty new at all this stuff and reading and trying to learn as much as possible. Thanks again guys.
All phones get hot the more you use it the hotter it gets the more it eats battery just give it a break or deal with the heat.

Do you have betterbattery stats installed? It will allow you to see if something is keeping the cpu from clocking down.
