| - | This page aims to document "power user" techniques for extending battery life, i.e. automating various aspects of the phone's behaviour with a view to extending battery life. It is currently a stub/work in progress; the aim is not to reinvent the wheel but to draw together a variety of approaches to battery saving.

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Techniques in the "background power saving" section should have little or no negative impact on the performance or usability of the phone but should save power in the background when the phone is not actively being used.

| - | === Use the Kernel for Power Users ===
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Not just for [[Overclocking]], the [[Kernel_power]] package helps to save battery power and makes it easy to configure the kernel. You should be using this, even if you never choose to go over the stock 600MHz.

| - | == Actions on phone lock/unlock ==

| - | | + | |
| - | One of the simplest uses of [[DbusScripts]] is to detect when the phone is locked or unlocked and run scripts to reduce the cpu frequency, system load, etc.

| - | === Change kernel powersave bias ===
| + | |
| - | Over on the [[Overclocking]] page, Fecn describes a set of scripts to modify the [[Kernel_power]] settings on phone lock/unlock. These work well, but do not suit my situation.

| - | With SmartReflex enabled, I only overclock as far as 805MHz at most,

| - | = Invasive power saving =
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Techniques in the "invasive power saving" section save power by intentionally limiting the activity and/or functionality of the phone. This can have unintended consequences, so be sure you understand what you are instructing the phone to do before you do it.
