Re: [Announce] QCPUFreq - save battery power by adjusting your maximum CPU speed
 

I am also using 500MHz as a maximum - it is sufficient for the games I play and my battery lasts much longer when playing games.

There are also drawbacks. Firefox for example is pretty slow on 500MHz and it takes a while to launch the browser with that frequency setting. Since Firefox really needs computing power I'd say that one can save more power when running Firefox@600MHz.

quick question..does using this application already doing overclocking? :)

Re: [Announce] QCPUFreq - save battery power by adjusting your maximum CPU speed
 

No. For overclocking you need the power kerel. If you already have the power kernel and if you have selected the correct voltages/profile you could also use QCPUFreq for overclocking.

Re: [Announce] QCPUFreq - save battery power by adjusting your maximum CPU speed
 

So where to set the voltages/profiles
Is that up threshold and Sampling rate?

Re: [Announce] QCPUFreq - save battery power by adjusting your maximum CPU speed
 

I strongly recommend you read the wiki before altering device-nuking factory settings, and then go with the CLI for profiles.

Also, I don't recommend using the GUI for overclocking unless you're OK with finger slipping over settings. I keep the OC to the CLI, and even then, I save profiles so a typo doesn't do bad things.

Hi guyz...i've changed my min & max freq to 250....is 250-500 setting better than this??

another problem am facing is even if i change my frequency to any settings (250-250,250-500,250,550)at some point of time it gets back to 250-600....

anybody have the same problem?

Re: [Announce] QCPUFreq - save battery power by adjusting your maximum CPU speed
 

It reverts to default on reboot or on phone call (phone sets freq to 600 regardless). This isn't an issue with over clocking, since it does go above max (kernel re-raises it), but when limited down it may do things to it.

Re: [Announce] QCPUFreq - save battery power by adjusting your maximum CPU speed
 

Damn....i never thought that phone calls will revert to default 600.

so which freq setting do you think is good for max battery life:rolleyes:

my usage
=======
1)1:30hrs of video
2)2hrs of music
3)2hrs of calling
4)1hr on 2G(just browsing-no downloading)
5)10-15 sms
6)30mins of playn around with the phone
7)display brightness (i usually keep 2-3bars)

Re: [Announce] QCPUFreq - save battery power by adjusting your maximum CPU speed
 

At that usage, I suggest either a battery pack or a second battery. Or a separate audio/video player? Stay closer to a wall socket? All of the above?

Re: [Announce] QCPUFreq - save battery power by adjusting your maximum CPU speed
 

hmmm.....but i think its possible....i almost got that kinda backup.....:rolleyes:

infact i got around 45-50mins on wifi(downloading all the time) from the last 5% of battery yesterday:D

and 1 thing about the stock nokia battery is that i'm not able to charge it to 100%:confused:.......its shows battery full when it reaches 95%....any idea about that?
