Tegrak overclock app?

Anyone else use this app to overclock? Im bored at work and instead of working I just installed it and ran quadrant, which I know that's all its really good for, and hit over 1900 at 1.3 ghz. Im gonna leave it there for a bit to see if anything goes wrong...
Edit: eats battery like buttery salty movie theatre popcorn!

I don't understand why anyone wants to overclock our phones? From everything I have read all it will do is decrease battery life and give higher quad scores which really mean nothing.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

i think whats more important, or more NEEDED, is voltage control.
be it voltage control for OC'ing or Voltage Control for underclocking, or just dropping the voltages as low as you can go while maintaning the stock phone speeds.
this is one thing i miss about the EVO.

Because its fun. Of course there is no practical value in it I even said that. I personally just like to mess with my phone to mess with it and I'm sure others do too. does a theme make your phone run better or more efficiently are they important to practicality? No it just changes its looks so why do people do that? It's fun.

I mean...there's plenty of practical reasons to overclock, e.g. better performance in a game. But if you're sitting around playing a game for a while, I doubt your concern is battery life to begin with.

tegrak uses module overlock similar to how the dx/d2/milestone are able to oc/uv without the ability to accept custom kernels
its not ideal (for those that overclock) compared to actual custom kernels with oc steps.
that being said, overclock isnt particularly important on 1ghz and up processors..whereas the eris/og droid needed it to compensate

I am using it, overclocked to 1.3 and then using setcpu to keep it at 800. I just want to have the speed and power there if needed

Im doing the same, also with a profile to cap off cpu at 400 performance scaled (seems the screen sometimes doesn't want to turn on if scaled to conservative) when screen is off. I've been noticing that full charges last at least a whole day and a half with my average use

I'm on Eclair rooted w/ Voodoo and regularly pull 1800+ Quadrant scores and get a solid 12hr. of battery life with screen brightness at around 60% (easily visible outside). I have no idea why anyone would want to use an OC tool... other than to have than extra bit of control that would allow you to undervolt even further for additional battery life.
EDIT-
To:Zach - I'm calling your boss to tell them that you're off-task and that they should make you quit the OC'ing and get back to work ASAP.
To:Zach's Mez... you're welcome!

All it it is Android Revolution HD 1.3 with blades kernel-meh running at 1656 (because the top frequency is unstable and actually makes it slower) with the interactive governer (thought i was on ondemand but just checked again) and i used task killer to free up ram before i ran the test. I also used v6 supercharger with option 8 a few days ago but didn't really notice a difference with it. I remember in the early days of the transformer there was talk about having different quality of chips and i remember mine testing very high so that might have something to do with it as well

The highest so far was 7522 on arhd / blades -meh at 1656..
This is my latest 7154 at 1592mhz...

Looks like my 3d graphics score is much higher than yours not sure why that would be though

Just wondering, do you guys run these clocks 24h a day or are they benchmarks clocks only?
I have tried overclocking the beast a bit, but it would generate much more heat when overclocked. It also crashed on me

If you go to the thread and volunteer to test a couple apks jcarrzs said thats a way to get into the beta test group
Also my tf has never been stable over 1592 hoping maybe ics will change that for me so i could get beast scores to lol

You have to find the sweet spot for your tf dont push it to high because it becomes unstable not to low or there's no point in over clocking so its about balance

Benchmarks. I ran Antutu only after flashing / testing roms. It appears that Blades-meh kernel /ARHD has the highest score on my TF with several crashes before or during the test.
You can share your score to compare.

Yeah buddy, stock ICS leask #1. 1200!!! I've had 4 A2's and 2 out of 4 came equipped with 1200 stock ICS. I believe it's luck of the draw man. Don't sweat it, the other two were 1000 but was able to OC both at 1200 with no bootlooping issues. GL.

Also at 1200.

I'm sure Moto didn't choose to put some A2's on 1200 and keep the others on 1000. The OTAs files pushed out to all the phones are identical. So what's causing these differences in clock speeds? Beats me

They may have, putting a check in place that queries the CPU's specific ID to find out what batch it's from. If it's from a good batch, 1200, if not, 1000. That's a POSSIBILITY.

That makes sense.. I tried to OC this phone at one time and couldn't even get to 1100mhz without it freezing and doing stupid ****. I just thought I was doing something wrong. And I was so happy that I would finally be able to get to 1200mhz without having to do anything. I guess I just got the **** CPU....

Very interesting.... I wouldn't put it past Motorola to only overclock the "good" chips, nice quality assurance there Moto . First time I heard about this I just thought "Well okay, an overclock from GB stuck through to ICS, no big deal", but it's been confirmed that isn't the case. Strange how some are overclocked and some are not. A big company like Moto shouldn't have "good" batches and "bad" batches, if that is the case we will never get an official word on this, maybe it's a kind of soak test, trying the 1.2 over clock on certain phones only..... But I don't know.

I think it does something to check if your cpu is capable of being stable at the higher speed. Unfortunately, mine is still at 1000Mhz also. I was hoping for the higher speed but not so lucky.

Its not that simple of a check to determine if it can run...
- Mine bootlooped when OC'd to 1200 on 2.3.5
- Its 1200 on 4.0 fine
- Others had it OC'd to 1200 with no problem on 2.3.5
- They have it set by default to 1000 on ICS
I made a survey about this some time ago, but almost all of my theories went down the drain...

mine stayed at 1000mhz.:banghead:

What's the default voltage and governor for 1200MHz enabled devices?

Lean Kernel has amazing battery life undervolted!

Out of all the kernels I have messed with and tweaked voltage settings with, lean kernel has given me the best on JB. I did not overclock though. Here is a screenshot. Took my phone out of the charger at 9:00 AM today. It is currently 6:37 PM.

Yes really! And it is amazing. Use system tuner. Or another system tuning application. And you can do quite a bit. Very handy.

Undervolting is more for stability, yes it saves some battery but nothing drastic Imo. I usually UV if I feel the device is getting too warm while in use.

You don't need to do anything to undervolt Leankernel, it's undervolted by default.

That isn't true of the newest ones.You have to at least run the lkconfig script and tell it to allow undervolt.

Lk is not UV'd by default. You have to use Term Emu to even get the UV to stick. Guys please don't add things when u dont know what ur talking about, especially kernel related stuff. Very easy to brick a phone messing with the kernel. And for those who want to UV LK, please go to RootzWiki and use Imoseyon's chart for UV, if you UV too much you will run into problems. Its on page 142. I used his guide and LK and I easily get 24+ on a charge with 3-4 hrs screen time.
Btw LK 1.7 just released last night!

Sounds like governor issue, I'm using Mokee rom (official) myself and mine heated up faster than it should. I also noticed my battery didn't last as long either.
I downloaded a app that can set the governors manually such as SetCPU. The app itself isn't free at Playstore but "is" if you google it.

The ondemand governor might be better for battery saving, which should keep your phone cooler. However if you notice performance issues, try bump the frequency before you change governor or add profiles.

I dont really know anything about governer and this sort of things...i just want to play games smoothly and a good battery and not overheating that easily..

I don't have any settings I can recommend sorry. Your phone will heat up when you play games but if you limit max frequency your phone will be cooler but might lag instead.
Lower frequency = Cooler phone = Lower framerate (lag)
Higher frequency = Hotter phone = Higher framerate (smooth)
What you need is a setting between those two.
Good luck!

whats your setup

Reason
You are getting this problem because of your username.

Use best battery stats and look for battery drainer apps, if apps normal, check your cores. Some kernels cores not go offline. All cores working with lover frequency although phone need only one core.
