The problem is that the two scaling programs fight each other, playing tug of war in getting the processor to run at two different speeds. We know that XCPUScalar can win the war and hold your processor down to 200mhz. The problem is that in struggling to do so - the phone ends up burning A LOT MORE battery power than it would without the XCPUScalar running. Our 6700's are unfortunately unique in that respect.
Immier, the creater of XCPUScalar has himself posted on the 6700 programs and explained that due to the tug of war, you're better off NOT using the scaling feature of XCPUScalar to underclock. He's explained that the advantage of using the program is a burst of speed when you need it - and hibernation when you dont. So . . . following HIS instructions, I have my PPC at 624 mhz all the time. But when the screen dims, XCPUScalar shuts down - so I'm not burning ANY more battery than normal.
If you're using the scaling feature with the 6700's you're doing yourself a disservice battery wise. You're probably burning more battery power underclocking with a new scaling, than I am OVERclocking with no scaling.

Have you even tried it on your 6700?... Let me make it as clear as I can... IT DOES IMPROVE MY BATTERY LIFE... That simple, No placebo effect... when I use autoscale I easily get 2 days out of one charge... With no autoscale, Only 1. I know of two other people who get the same results... So untill you put the program on your 6700 and do some testing, Quit listening to what other people tell you and find out the information for yourself... Seriously people, If I made a convincing enough arguement that the world is flat, would you believe me on that? or would you do what columbus did and find out for himself? |
Uh.. I noticed the same thing as he did. As I posted before, with autoscale on I lose about 30% battery life in 8 hours (overnight, with bluetooth, data, and WIFI off).
Maybe you should do a little research before you blast people for posting their findings. |
He wasn't posting "his" findings, he was posting the findings of other people which was based on older versions of the program... Now, You posting your actual findings... Thats good...
