[Q] OC voltages (netarchy) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im trying to OC my I9020A to 1300 MHz w/ netarchy cfs and having problems. It randomly freezed overnight after I thought everything was good. voltage set to: 1425 mV.
What are other people have luck with?
also: anyone else having voodoo sound not work with the latest netarchy version?
also: chainfire 3d doesnt work with this kernel?

weird, i still have issues with those voltages. could it be because im running stock rom?

also, it is VERY quick to freeze/restart when OC'd to 1200 and I simply play a video in moboplayer...

[Q] Overclocking on Glitterballs' Kernel

I just installed Serendipity 2.0 w/ Glitterballs' latest kernel, which supports OC up t 1.2 GHz, and I wanted to know, is it possible to stably overclock my phone to 1.2 GHz without variable frequency or UV?
If so, how would I go about OCing my phone?
Also, will OCing affect the health of my CPU and lead to increased wear and tear in the long run?
Thanks in advance
If all you want is to overclock, you don't have to change anything.
Unless you plan on keeping your phone for 5 years OC won't do any harm.

Thanks MikeyMike01! Looks like I'm going to OC then. And btw, I'm a huge fan of your ROMs

[Q] Trinity Versus Netarchy for Powersave mode

I have used both kernels Trinity and Netarchy. In SetCpu, I have the governer powersave mode profile for screen off. I noticed with the Trinity kernel the phone is able to wake easily without any lag. With the Netarchy kernel there is some lag when the screen is waken. If I am playing Pandora while in powersave mode, the phone will ok with the Trinity kernel. But when I play Pandora in powersave mode with Netarchy kernel, the phone can sometimes be barely usable when waking up(comeing out of powersave mode).
Both are excellent kernels so I'm not comparing the two in that manner. I'm am trying to figure out why I am having trouble with powersave mode in Netarchy. Is it possible that the powersave mode with Trinity doesn't powersave as well as Netarchy, and that is why the phone wakes so easily?

they have differnet sleep policies. i believe trinity sleeps at 800mhz, because, as you noticed, a phone at 100mhz is pretty unusable. or, it could be that netarckys kernel isnt scaling properly. i think this is a question to ask both netarchy and morfic.

Setcpu allows me to set the min. for both kernels to 100 mhz...so I'm pretty sure trinity sleeps at 100mhz if set SetCPu allows it. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

i sent out the android colored bat signal to both morfic and netarchy, i think we should wait for their responses. i think it would be a scaling issue while sleeping, but they would know better.

Please note I did an edit: The problem is when the phone is coming out of of powersave mode/awakening with the Netarchy kernel with playing Pandora(or other music streaming app) that the phone become unusable.
dont mind i hijack this thread,
how do i check my speed against benchmark after i flash this kernel? is there an app to test speed?

Just a follow up...I asked Netarchy he and he said to use the BFS kernel version. I did and this took care of the problem.

To be more precise I said to try the BFS build so we could see if the issue happened in both or if it was specific to the CFS build ;D
Helps me narrow down where to focus to find the cause and all ;D

whats the diff between cfs and bfs. im using netarchy now. which is better

Neither is better, its a matter of preference. CFS is completely fair scheduler and is the standard scheduler for Linux based kernels. BFS is brain **** scheduler and it was developed separately. Try nth and see which you prefer.

Setcpu UV restart problem request help

Ok so im running EB 2.3.4 and im running morfics kernel which ocs up to 1.5ghz and can uv, and am using set cpu. Im trying to uv everything from 1.1ghz under by 50mhz. and when i hit apply in set cpu my phone will freeze and restart. i dont have apply when booting because im afraid of a bootl;oop but my question is is my phone restarting because it cant handle the uv? am i undervolting wrong? or is it restarting to make the changes? Any help on undervolting with setcpu is appreciated. I also have pimpmycpu if anyone can help with that but im more familliar with setcpu
If it freezes and restarts, your chip can't handle it.
Start of by UV ing in increments of -25mV for frequencies 1000 to 216 MHz first as its easier to UV the lower freq rather than any freq above 1000 also try fauxs stock voltage kernel if you keep having trouble with morfics because its more UV friendly at least for my device as it can UV lower without issues
Ah thanks for the advice! Ill give that a try!

[Q] Setcpu crashing at 1.9Ghz?

I try and set my sensation to 1.9 (1.89)ghz on setcpu. Right after i set it up, the phone reboots and the setting is lost. I tried different apps but nothing changes. i have a custom setcpu setting and still nothing happens. It only works when i overclock to something under 1.9. Anyone else having the same problem? Disable perflock isn't working for me. If thats the solution, how to fix it?

Sounds like you weren't aware that 1.7GHz and higher aren't considered stable freqs, 1.9GHz has a high Voltage which may cause the kernel to panic and issue a reboot. Just stick with a lower freq around the 1.2 stock speed.

Any CPU aren't the same. It seem that your CPU can't handle that much clock speed. Speed on 1.9 and 1.782 Ghz are quite the same. (Quadrant might shows couple hundreds higher but not effect any everyday uses.)

Thanks for the heads up. Where'd you hear that? i dont remember reading about it. Is there a way to make 1.9ghz work?
What benefits will 1.9GHz provide other than wearing down your battery faster?

Just looking at that voltage table and my experiences with that freq from past phones tells me so . Jumping from the low level to such a high one should cause a freeze on any device.
@LooieEng 1.9GHz may help this phone run future Android revisions smoothly, and perhaps Win8 will function on the phone too.

[Q] What Should I adjust Undervolt settings to on SetCPU that are stable

I am using Tsugi 2.3.4 with the Oyasumi 0.1 UV kernal I want to overclock to 1500 but what settings should I undervolt it to that is stable thanks in advance for the info.

We can't tell you not all phones are the same, uv a little (10 or 25) run it for a day or two see how it acts, if its steady, uv a little more, when it starts acting up thats your limit go back to previous settings.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

I've seen some general advice not to UV for anything over 1ghz speeds as well, but it may not hurt to try if you want and adjust as needed for stability.
I'm running on a -75mv at 1.5Ghz faux kernel 0.4.7..
Perfectly stable, benchmarked AnTuTu, Quadrant, and all those other good stuff.
I have not tried -100mv yet, I doubt it will be stable.
Every phone is different, but I run mine at -20 up to 1 G, and -10 for the rest.
Mine I cant undervolt shoot I have to keep my minimum frequency at 500 to be stable, course I can also run at 1.5 all day (I keep it at 1.2).
Well I guess I can't say I cant UV since I use pimp my cpu and it only gives you options in 25 increments, maybe I would be stable at like -10. But coming from my galaxy s 4g where I could UV over -150 and still be stable, that just doesnt even sound worth doing.
Edit: I just thought about it and maybe the reason I cant UV (more) is because I'm using fauxs pre UV/OC kernel, so I dont even know what stock voltage is. But comparing to my sgs4g at stock voltage I am running considerably lower voltages on the g2x.
The faux thread says it's pre uv at -50 across the board.
