Re: Root + OverclockWidget = Insane Battery Life 40+ Hours

I think these results are very very misleading. if you use your phone a lot this will not really help you at all as it only underclocks when the screen is off. Honestly, who cares if your battery doesn't drain overnight when you are not using the phone and its asleep? Most people charge their phone overnight anyway. The real test is to see how it affects the battery during the daytime when you are using it. Yesterday, without this installed and no ATK, I got 13 hours out of my battery, which i think is great. I saw this thread last night and got excited, charged the battery to 100% and installed it. When I woke up I was at about 93%. I haven't done much of anything, no web, no text, no music, just installed a few app updates and I'm at 70% 2 hours later. That tells me this process did what it says it will do, save battery when the phone is asleep, but in terms of real world battery saving, it wont do much for you.
