Re: [4-20] nueDynamicClock - dynamically adjust clock for battery life

I had really high hopes for this app, but with some testing last night it seems like it's not really making a difference.

Normally, my phone will lose 10% battery life if I don't put it on the charger overnight while I sleep. With this app installed, and the standby setting set to the slowest, 19 mhz clockspeed, I left the phone on the charger up until it was time for bed, and it was fully charged when I took it off. Put it on the nightstand and didn't touch it again until I woke up in the morning. Checked it first thing when I woke up, and sure enough, it had still lost 10% charge from just sitting in standby for 8 hours.

My previous WinMo phones (a Samsung i760 and an Omnia) would not show any less charge level if I left them in standby off the charger overnight.

I will keep it installed and see how it survives on a day when I'm out and about all day. Typically I am down to less than 50% battery if I'm out of the house for 8 or more hours and don't use the car charger or anything.

I disabled the 5000 ms 'step' in mhz speed as I did notice this was affecting playing videos in coreplayer and such. I have the speed set to go to 256 when the backlight dims, and 19 mhz when it goes into standby.
