About LinkBacksMy new Droid X is plenty fast & I have no desire to overclock it, but I see lots of people underclocking and running low voltages to increase battery life. It seams like it wouldn't really make a noticeable difference since the screen uses most if the power... Has anyone done any real testing? Also, will underclocking cause any lag?
Thanks

Leaving your GPS on drains battery.
Truth is: GPS is only used when you open an application that requires it. You can leave GPS toggled on at all times. -

01-25-2011 09:31 PMeven if the screen is using highest % in the settings, the processor is still ALWAYS running.
lowering the voltages for the speeds = less battery consumed = longer battery life
might not be a big difference, but it will help.

01-26-2011 01:28 AMI don't underclock, but I do run with custom ULV levels. Now I get about 3 to 4 more hours of battery life. I also use profiles with the jrummy overclock app.

01-26-2011 04:48 AMUse QuickClock Advanced to undervolt. It will find the lowest stable vsel for your specific setup.

01-26-2011 09:42 AMI figured I'd give it a shot. My main concern was lag, but that doesn't really seem to be an issue. I guess I'll leave it since I don't have anything to lose.
My settings:
300MHz, 15
600MHz, 27
800MHz, 36
1GHz, 45Last edited by audioman42; 01-26-2011 at 10:17 AM.
