FOr the past few days Ive been doing a few experiments, and amongst formating my mem card, turning off GSM radio, 4g, and only having data-on-demand, I was able to get my Evo to run continuously for about 16-18 hours at a time.
THis includes:
--automatic refresh of data such as email, and weather,
--30 mins of pandora+music player,
--about 30 mins of games like reckless racing, waveracer, robo defence, mathworkout..
--30 minutes of daily phone use
--30mins to an hour of text messaging total throughout the day
--about an hour on the internet, including some flash heavy sites like youtube, the onion, and yahoo Finance.
--Screen set to 40% (the second setting on the power control widget)
I wouldnt say that thats the heaviest Ive used my phone for, but its fairly higher than "average" from what ive read on the forums.
SO in the current quest of ever increasing battery life, i realized that most of the tasks I used up there^^ I dont need my CPU to run at full speed.
However, I didnt want to compromise speed when gaming or watching videos. So after some testing I seem to have the optimal (but with room for adjustment) of set CPU clocks so that I dont have to constant change settings.
i recommended everyone with an evo+setCPU try these out.
After running with this for a 3 days, I can safely say that i went form 16hours uptime to a steady 18-21 hours without needing a charge, without changing my habits, and not losing speed when gaming or watching videos!
What this does is that when you are watching videos or playing a game{about a minute into each activity} triggers the profile to run the cpu at max clock, and when you exit, the temp drops and so does the clock.
The first profile is to prevent phone damage, so that rarely gets triggered, usually just when Im sleeping on my phone while its charging or i forget to close apps and leave it under my pillow at night
.
#2 is self explanatory.
#3 is adjustable, I like numbers between 37-39 because thats the threshod games and high powered videos easily raise the temp of my phone to.
4 is key, as thats the "norm" at whch my phone functions at. I get almost no lag, but its flawless when pages have fully loaded. AGain, drop this or raise this, but the sites I visit dont request much more.
#5 is always set to full when its charging simply so I can game while its charging.
Post your results!
