Battery life help and improvements! - Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting

Just installed cm10.1 by hash code on my rooted kindle fire 2. Battery life is good, but just wondering if anybody has any suggestions on how to make it better. I tried to adjust the brightness of the screen and it does not appear to work. Anyone less having this issue? Thanks!

You can try different cpu governors or underclock the cpu

Yes, that is a possibility. But without hindering performance, is there any other ways? Has anybody else experienced the brightness setting does not work on cm10.1?

Try the sgt7 rom by PowerPoint.
It's more up to date and configurable.
Edit: I've also been using the hotplug governor lately with no noticeable performance hit and much better battery (at least for the two days I've been on it)
It mostly seems to help your second core shutdown faster when the screen is off.

[Q] Saving Battery on Jellybean

Landscape works everywhere except the home screen. [that's AOSP]. You can install a custom launcher like Apex, Nova, Go etc. and landscape would work on the homescreen too.
I've been using Jandycane and so far batt life has been good.
One thing I can suggest is NOT using animated wallpapers. They look awesome, but really task the CPU, which drains the battery.

Also, how do I lower the CPU?

I dont think hash and lithium have added cpu control yet, but twa's CM10 port has it and its a great rom so far, no bugs that i have found yet
even google now works
Jandycane has better battery? Any other advantages over hashcode's rom?

Horrible emulator performance

I'm running stock with a few tweaks and I'm noticing that most of my classic console emulators run like crap with either poor frame-rates or choppy sound. On my S2 and OneX they all ran fine. Anyone else experiencing this? Would think these would run fine on the S3 due to its cpu power...
Ps also have and issue with Max Payne Mobile not displaying the controls.

Download a cpu app such as system tuner or SetCPU and whenever you are playing your game, switch the governor to "performance".

I would think ondemand profile would be enough, but especially for snes...

Yeah well performances insures that your cpu stays at max all the time, so your gameplay won't lag as much.
If you really want to heighten your gaming experience, flash any kernel such as Zaventh as they can clock up to 1812mhz!

Try going into Settings > Developer Options and change the setting for Force GPU Rendering. Reboot and try it again.
Not all GS3's are able to handle overclocking to 1.8ghz. Try lowering your clock speeds if you're using a custom kernel.
Try a different kernel if nothing else is working.
Download CpuSpy from Play Store. It will show you how much time your phone spends at each speed.
For Max Payne, you should probably email the developer about that. He's probably seen it before.

Please help with battery drain.

I'm new to the galaxy Nexus. I rooted it recently and put maddoggin's ROM onto it(Sprint). Also I have fh05 radios if this helps. I have tried a few different kernels. I noticed only when the screen is on is when it start its decline. I just took it off the charger at 100% at 1:30 now at 1:50 its at 85%. I really just want the jop40d stock kernel to give that a try but I can't find it. Someone please try to shine some light on this.

you gave us no screen shots or anything to even begin looking at the issue you may or may not be having.
What extra info do you think is needed? I gave the ROM radio and build I'm using.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
screen shots of your battery stats are pretty much required.
Where would the most useful stats come from? I have better battery stats installed. Would that be decent enough?

Thank you all I appreciate the help very much.

What's brightness set to? Are you oc? What kernel process percents. Need more info dood

just post a screenshot of the battery settings (stats)
disable google latitude in google maps. disable automatic reporting of your location.

40 minutes screen time and on LTE. Isn't that normal for that model?
I wish I knew what normal was
40 min of screen on time, lte enabled and still 66% left of battery. I think that's normal. Search the forum and u will find few threads about this.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I get around 1.5-2 hours of screen on time, LTE on all the time, no wifi and such...what kernel are you using with which i/o scheduler and governor are you running? Also, do a screen shot of running processes accessed through settings>apps>running processes.

So lte is the culprit? I came from wimax (GSII)

I/O cfq
Governor: interactive (can't change it anyways. Won't let me)
And the kernel is on a screen shot the previous page. Also my processor doesn't pass 700mhz although its set for 1200mhz weird.

Holy crap! You have a lot of things running! Usually I only have three or four processes running! I can tell you for sure that the maps app burns a lot of battery in the background, and you need to shut that down and turn off location services! Also, you have the same media bug that I do that I haven't figured out how to stop...sorry I forgot which rom you're on, but on 4.1.2, I had a really go fix by running a certain gapps package, but on 4.2, I'm stuck and that's why I'm online lol...

Just flash Pure AOSP ROM.. I too faced this issue when earlier I flashed stock ROM over bigxie's ROM.ASOP ROMs are very fast and stock type.
I did most of everything I was told and its still draining. I'm even using WiFi now. I guess I will try a aosp ROM and I still would like the stock kernel
do anyone else have any other idea of what the problem is? i know this isnt normal. no one would have this phone is the batter only lasted 4-5 hrs like mine

Gpu overclock

Hello
I'm currently using a note2core asylum kernel which supports both cpu and gpu overclocking. My question is, how do I go about overclocking the gpu? Any help will be appreciated.

Don't need that overclock note 2 is an excellent phone more than a phone...my oppinion
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I know. Its all for.research purposes anyway
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure if note2core supports stweak but that's the app you need to over clock. There are other but I prefer this one. It will give you a maximum slide to 1800mhz and also tons of other features such as adjusting charging amp, under volting including for the gpu as well. There's not much to know about over clocking as its pretty straight forward but you can change the xpu governor and the number of cores you want activated and how you want them to activate based on your usage. Under volting will help with both temperature and battery life although I find the changes almost insignificant, but you should try it out. If you want to undervolt start with around - 25mv.

You are talking about cpu not gpu
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Okay it's not that different. Just over clock it and undervolt at the same time to - 25mv and then download an app called stabilitytest from play store. Run it for 10minutes and see if you get any error. If not then further lower the voltage to - 50mv. But usually - 25 is good. I noticed that anything higher clocks peed than 5xxmhz starts causing error and graphic glitches.

Gaming performance - The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Hi all,
Anyone else tried this game? I'm experiencing a fair bit of lag especially on maxed settings.
Running AR HD 7, stock Rom, playing in performance mode with background apps cleared.
Bit disheartening to see lag on a flagship device, but I'm assuming it's most likely **** optimisation with the game.
Running Dalvik, 4x msaa turned off.
I've even got seeder installed.

Install Elemental Kernel and clock it to 2.5/2.6 (don't go higher if you don't want your phone to explode) Download TricksterMod to tweak the cpu/gpu...
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Done as you said.
Any tips on how to setup trickster? Increase in performance.
Unfortunately I can't complete antutu beyond 2.4ghz.
Any tips on that front? I'm no stranger to overclocking pc's, I guess I could try a slight overvolt, if so, what's the general consensus of a safe vmax?
