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

This mod works like a charm. Just make sure you ignore it in task manager and always keep a fresh amount of ram available... obviously having a bunch of apps open is going to be the culprit to poor battery life.

I use EStrongs Task Manager, just fyi for those out there.

And this is NOT Placebo. I used to unplug my phone and within half an hour i'd be at 82% with light use... today, its been 3hrs 5mins and i'm sitting at 81% after a few calls, texts and short use of a few apps. I wasn't expecting to get a million hours out of scaling the CPU down when the screen is off, but man, this really does help and makes complete sense.

There are people doubting this, saying scaling is not possible, and those people are straight techno-illiterate.

***If you are experiencing worse life, please make sure you rooted with Toast's method and check out your setup with your task manager (ignore the overclock widget, obviously), and don't let your available RAM(memory) get down below 120-130M (IMO). Kill it! Also check how often you are syncing for contacts emails calendar location and set your wifi sleep policy to never(if its not already) cuz anywhere with wifi on is gunna be bettery than 3G and especially 4G***
