And I swear that I have a bit longer battery life, but maybe that's the woll over my eyes some more. So what you are saying is that because of the processors own autoscaling and the preventing ability of shutting that down that xCPU in autoscale actually draws the SAME as when used in a locked level? Wow. I'm all over the place with this stuff. Whats the point of autoscaling it down if the battery draw is the same overall?
Also, in regards to my testing with iGuidance: I have iGuidance on the main and the maps on the storage. I have a regular ol' micro 2gb to minisd card from pny.
I am still on board with having xCPU with autoscale since I "feel" it is doing what I *WISH* and *DREAM* that it is doing...

Copy - actually, when you autoscale, you're using up MORE battery than usual.
You can confirm that by using a battery meter. The creator of the program, Anton, owns the 6700 and is aware of the problem. The "point" is that with most phones, XCPU is able to turn off the phone's autoscaling. With the 6700 - it can't. So the two autoscaling programs battle it out, and burn out battery life in the process. I seriously hate to break it to you, but you're having kind of a placebo effect. A while back I got into a big flame war with a guy that refused to believe what I told him. Others agreed with him, until they started testing as well. He was rude, so I clowned him - and I haven't seen him on this forum since.
Raging Idiot, your post about still believing that XCPUScalar is a sugar pill makes no sense whatsoever. The fact that your slowest running programs don't get sped up, can have little bearing on the phone's clock speed. Those programs can be dependent on RAM, or in the case of GPS - input from outside hardware. XCPUScalar has definite, measurable improvements on software like TCPMP and video games for example. TCPMP allows for videos to play smoother at full resolution, with higher framerates. There's a benchmarking program built in to confirm - and I've already posted my results on the overclocking thread. Emulators run great at full speed, without dropping frames - where in some cases they're unplayable (Sega Genesis, GBA). The fact that your problem programs didn't speed up has nothing to do with XCPUScalar doing what it's supposed to do - increasing the clock speed of the processor.
