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.
I'm at 3 hours 3 minutes off the chargers, few texts, emails web searches, moderate to light use for me and I'm sitting at 91% without using any scaling apps or task killers. Key is my phone is actually going to sleep mode and that's when it wastes the least amount of power. The scaling should affect mostly when people's phones are staying in Partial awake which normally is at full cpu speed, but because you guys are throttling you're dropping it to 254mhz. Oh btw I have WiFi on but sleep policy set to never, BT off, GPS ON, and 4G off.
