[Q] voltage control tutorial?

Is there a tutorial (written or video) that shows how to use this? I've never overclocked or changed the voltage before and i dont wna just go in there n start messing with stuff when i have no clue what im doing. Ive looked around for maybe a begginers tut or like voltage control for dummies, but havent really found anything. Anyone know of one? Thanks.

It's really not very hard. The regular Voltage Control will not allow you to overvolt, so you will not run the risk of frying your processor. Don't go over 1400 mhz though. Bad magic after that.
Undervolting will not harm your phone, the most it will do is make it lock up. Just experiment with different voltages. Back in the day I used to run -75 mV across the board without many issues, but I don't really have a use for it anymore since I carry a spare battery. Don't be frustrated if your phone doesn't like even -25 mV though, because every processor is slightly different in their abilities to handle voltage and frequency changes out of spec.
Please note that PBJT kernel is already undervolted a good amount.

Here's my setup - no lag, no hiccups or freezing!!
1300mhz (max) -75mV
1200mhz -75mV
1000mhz -75mV
800 down to 100mhz -50mV
Hope this helps!

Can you please tell me what the actual voltage is? I found that with IMO 4.0 kernel, and with Tegrak Overclock Ultimate, I can clock the at 1.252 Ghz @ 1285mV and 1.3 Ghz @ 1330mV stably. However, I don't know what the actual stock voltage is or the PBJT voltage or IMO 4.0 voltage, etc.
I figure you could check the voltage at least with the free version of Tegrak.

Phone is laggy
I am also new to the voltage and clock adjustments. I am finding that my phone is SUPER slow now. I used another forum member's numbers that were supposed to offer a good balance of performance and battery life. I know that every phone is a little different, but I don't want to start messing around and screw stuff up
My setup is:
1300-1400 -0
1000-1200 -50
800-900 -75
100-700 -75
I am running PBJ 415 with FP1 on Tweaked 2.0.
Please be gentle, I am a newb

Was your phone slow when you first flashed the new kernel? imnuts' kernels tend to slow down over time on my phone and I've had better luck with stock. Some people never seem to have issues.
Personally, I run the stock kernel which can't be overclocked. I do have the minimum clock speed set to 400 and the governor (which I think makes the biggest difference) set to performance. i/o scheduler is noop, but I've heard that it doesn't make a huge difference either way.
The only issues I have with speed are RAM related. I typically reboot my phone first thing in the morning just to get it going.
And battery life has maybe suffered some, but its hard for me to tell. I get horrible reception downtown, so when I need my phone I toggle data off to keep it from dying. When I'm home, I keep it on since I'm close to a charger. There's too many variables in my day to know (or even remember at this point) whether its had a significant impact.

FYI, if you have the governor set to performance, then the minimum doesn't matter. That governor runs the CPU at max constantly. Great for performance, but hideous for battery life. The only time it will ever ramp down is when it goes into deep sleep, otherwise, it's running at 1GHz.

My phone was great when I flashed, but within about 12 hours, things were horrible. I have since flashed back to the stock fp1 kernel, and life is good. Unfortunately, I am not a person who 'leave well enough alone'. I'd like to enter the world of over/ under clocking and see if I can gain some additional performance.
Thanks in advance for any additional info/advice you can provide.

War Eagle!
I thought that was how it worked, but I will open voltage control from time to time and it will read that its currently at 400 or 800 MHz. Does the program not display properly?
edit: Playing around with it some more, if I change it to something else and then switch it to performance it goes right to 1000. Weird that it displays incorrectly when the program is opened.

Until someone develops a custom kernel for overclocking, then the answer is "no."
However, if/when this does happen, you can use a root app called SetCPU.

hi!
You can overclock your tablet with the Tegrak application on the market... be careful not to forget to increase the voltage at the same time in the overclokage... mine is Overclocked a 1.6GHz

hella i use tegrak too, you have set 1600 for ever? You are not scared if higth frequency fries your cpu? and what about mali400? U set the gpu to 400mhz and leave it at 400 for ever?

not my processor is set "on demand" it between 200 and 1600mhz.... However, I do not overclock the GPU....

However, when overclocking to say 1.5 or 1.6Ghz it causes lag, why?

have you ever tried Zeta ROM ?

Using stock ICS 4.04, does anyone know the right voltage to get up to 1.6Ghz ?
I tried mine 1.6Ghz at 1.45v, but I think it resulted lower Antutu benchmark, I don't know why..

Also, my battery temperature has dropped 4 to 5 degrees working with these settings ... These are personal settings ..... it is more than 15 days is up and it works perfectly on my tablet ....
gpu is at 400mhz with 1100mv for you information ....it's for that I have this score to nenamark2!
I tested too and its ok:
processor: 1.652 ghz for 1.3
1.600 ghz for 1.250v and 1.3v
1.552 ghz for 1.250
1500 ghz for 1.200
1400 ghz for 1.200......and i think your can 1.150v...no tested
......computing power as well as the benchmark machine improves significantly under voltage processor and not the other way .... I read on the internet that samsung would tend to increase the voltage of its processors ..... i do not know why
Before making my settings ... when I was surfing on wifi and the power was connected, the battery temperature ranged from 39 to 43 degree ... with these new parameters, the heating pad and earns much less 10 degrees less. now .... I'm a little less than 32 degree..... with much better performance!

By the way, few questions,
Is there a way to set in Tegrak so that, I set 200Mhz or 500Mhz, and directly jump to 1.6Ghz+ ?
Maybe I'm a bit too analytic, using one of the Android system info, I use about ~10 to 20% of 800mhz/1000mhz/1400mhz, and I feel that those transitional process could make it 'sluggish' when processing demand is really required.
So perhaps, for a sake of 'smoothness' (but not using 'performance'-mode) I want to just use 200/500mhz and 1.6ghz+..
When CPU0 is set to 1.6ghz, the next lowest CPU1 is 1596mhz, (-4), and I can't change CPU2 and the rest..
Btw, I haven't treid 1.65, but I'll try it now and let you know

i noticed that sometimes my tab doesn't sleep. the minimum is just 200mhz causing my battery to drain faster than normal. and once it stayed 1.6 mhz. is it related to the OC kernel used? is there other kernels available for OC aside from EZYICS kernel?

[Q] Quick question about overclocking and battery

I have just one quick question about overclocking. If default speed of MSM8260 is 1.5GHz, and it`s just underclocked in stock sensation, then processor set for 1.5GHz "eats" battery faster than 1.2GHz or there is no difference? I understand that overclocked processor eats battery faster, but I`m just not sure in this case.

It probably eats battery a little quicker.

I think so but I just want to be sure is any1 really sure??

it eats battery. trust me, i own an xe not so much though, but noticeable

Thanks so now it's clear but you're lucky enough to have bigger battery than my "usual" sensation

using a 1.5ghz kernel will not eat your battery any faster than stock (1.2ghz) unless you are running games and benchmarking. the way a modern CPU works is that it throttles up to max speed when needed, most of the time it will probably be sitting at around 400mhz, a 1.5ghz kernel only raises the max amount which in some situations can actually increase your battery life since it will perform tasks quicker and go back to 400mhz after its done faster

Gaming is not something I generally use my sensation for and since I've been running 'ondemand' at 1.5GHz max I've seen a noticeable improvement in battery life.

I have mine at 1782 MHz and battery is still fine.

I have mine up to 1.83ish, battery seems better, sounds odd but hear me out,
If the clock speed is higher the CPU won't need to wake the second core as often, as it can still handle the operations, so if it uses 10% more power from 1.5ghz to 1.8ghz, its better then using an extra 40% waking and running second core, but doing heaving operations will then of course run down quicker @ 1.8ghz then 1.5ghz.
So basically if you use your phone light to moderate use, e.g. because your at work so few texts, calls and a little gaming, then 1.8ghz max the battery will last longer, if you text all day and watch videos and a lot of gaming use 1.2/1.5ghz.
And an Anker 1900mah battery will help too
Test yourself with Sebastians Kernels and don't forget the thanks

Actually, the processor will never reach 1.5 GHz. It's only the theoretical throughput.

Our device will get slower when it's hot due to thermal throttling, the thermal engine controls both CPU and GPU. When charging, especially when it's over 60%, the temperature will reach a high value that may exceed the threshold imposed by the thermal engine. Thus, either the core speed will be clocked down (CPU0-3 max 600, CPU4-5 max 864) or they will be totally off. Same with GPU (max 300 when hot, 600 when normal). I think Xiaomi didn't notice that many of its customers live in the equator lines where the temperature is generally warm to hot (25-35) so the threshold values will be reached much sooner than those who use the phone in norther or souther area.

It's true... But in this version of antutu the scores dont get uch a diferente after 2 or 3 tests... In previous version I used to get 57k, then 54k and then 50k... In this version I get 70k, 69k and then 69k again... Not much of a diference in results after heating... Why would this happen? I never get less than 69k

Maybe you need to put more background apps to your phone as I do
Having a screenshot of Android Assistant (both Monitoring and Processes tabs) might help the analysis.

Around 70k is a very bad score I must say, for our hardware.
On last Antutu I got 59k score and for example my friends Iphone 6s had 57k.
Now I'm getting 69k, and he is getting 120k scores.....

TBH, that's not bad since you can buy FOUR Mi4C for an iPhone 6s. Twister Core in Apple A9 is the best single core processor to date (which Snapdragon 820 Kyro cores might be able to beat when it comes out seeing latest benchmark info). Our Snapdragon 808 is even nowhere near 810, how could you expect it would beat Apple A9? Here's the official AnTuTu list for each SoC:

IPhone 6s with 57k... In your dreams. Mrkubix go to sleep...

Sd820 still does not beat iPhone single core performance... Dont know how they did that twister... But they did it very well... Typhoon was already wonderful...

Overclock MTCD/MTCB RK3188 Quad Core CPU from 1.6 to 1.8?

On rockchip's website they listed a play store app called SetCPU that could be used for overclocking the CPU. Has anyone tested this with good results? Searching on google, it seems that other people have been able to overclock the RK3188 CPU from stock 1.6ghz to 1.8ghz+ successfully. However, the overclocked RK3188 chip was in a miniPC rather than an Android Head Unit.

Seems overclocking is locked by the kernel- we're limited to adjusting the governor through Kernel Adiutor, No-frills CPU Control, and SetCPU.

with that big cooler on mine, I am not worried about heat. Even loaded for minutes the board is at room temp. The heatsink is barely even warm. I still get frustrated drving my wives car with the 4.4.4 unit. God it is so much faster. I love the zipties though, looks as good as my 3m tape solution haha. After the paste gets good and hard, I may just remove the tape.
I tried to overclock. It will not keep the changes in the files. It is locked in the kernel.

Oooh, that sounds very nice! I was planning on dismounting the unit from the car for the coming weeks anyway, to see if I can get the v6.5 Malaysk firmware to play and do some other tweaks. So this one is a nice feature to test.
Anybody got an idea of how the cpu is cooled? In comparison to a tablet or minipc, I would say they have ample of room to do so, but the question is whether they actually did something.

i would be interested in seeing the results of someone else trying this out

Judging by past photos, there doesn't seem to be any active cooling whatsoever. Additionally, I don't believe passive cooling is even installed - it's just free air. In any case, my MTCD tends to get quite hot.

Might be a good idea to use a passive cooling ?

I downloaded Setcpu, but its not as easy as choosing a new setting. The stock frequency tables are all that are there. It allows you to load new frequencies from a .txt file. I haven't had a chance to do this yet.

i used setcpu for root and it works fine. The kernel is locked to 1.6 but..................
even under full load continually the cpu never went above 1.2
I went out bought a heatsink and put it on the cpu. Cranked it to performance and 1.6 on boot with setcpu
It is a completely different machine now. It works as well as my mtcb 3188. Today I got gps workin and a workin radio good day.

What passive heatsink did you buy?

just an aluminum fined one from a local shop. covers the memory and the cpu.
It still can peg the cpu with i loveradio and google driving maps open at the same time, but it no longer freezes and is usable. Takes maybe 5 seconds to open google maps if only thing running. It is usable now until it burns up.
They definitely had a heat/speed problem. If someone could unlock the kernel it would be better. It is usable now and no longer a piece of junk.
just got an email from joying, it does have a gps card slot, it is just inside the box. on the front left.

How do you mount the heatsink?

3m outdoor tape

Mine is not locked at 1.2. I can flip the governor to performance and it runs at 1.6 all day long.

did you use a script or a cpu tool to switch it? if you used a script mind sharing it so i do not have to go looking for file location?
I did notice if I chose performance it would run at 1.6 also, on any other setting it never made it above 1.2 no matter how bad the load was. I would rather having it boot at 1.6 also. maybe 1.8 now that i know initd is working on maylay 6.5
maybe something like
echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
it has a file that lists them all there also

Mine would go to 1.6 on interactive. I switched it to performance and it locked on 1.6, but I'm not sure how hot its getting. there doesn't seem to be a sensor. Will these shutdown or reboot if they get too hot? I was also able to make these changes using Kernel auditor which is free. I switched it back to stock. I dont know enough about these and how they protect themselves from heat. Is there a kernel source available anywhere?

what kind of unit you have? mine refused to go above 1.2, but it is all about the limits and timing maps on how high it lets it go, not just the max frequency.
it was slow as could be.

I have a joying unit.
