Hi guys,
Just out of interest, what's the fastest overclock you guys have done with the XT720?
Thanks

I'm currently running at 1.0 GHz. It's stable and smooth. No FC or any glitch yet.
Benchmarking get past Nexus One.

1GHZ seems fairly stable. I'm trying 1.2ghz but its not quite as stable. I have got 1.27ghz but after a few minutes it crashed

not at 1GHz,
only when I clocked to 1.2 I noticed the phone getting warm while using extensively.
1.2 GHz on my mobile is stable. Till now, there's no crash, but I feels like it's not as smooth as running at 1GHz. And battery drains noticeably faster.

Does the latest SetCPU support the xt720? Or do I still need to use that milestone12 apk?

Just rooted my phone. What app do you use to overclock?

1 root ur phone
2 install milestoneoverclock 1.2 (simple google search)
3 get setcpu (optional)
i set my xt720 at 1ghz its very stable

I went to the site, got the code using my bar code scanner, the file was downloaded, but I can't start it up. Tried looking for where to place the file but did not find. Got any info bro? Really appreciate the help.
p.s. I've not loaded an other kernel apart from the one that the phone came with.

Thank you very much!
Overclocked very easily.
I'm using overclockwidget to define speeds. It's free and seems to work perfectly.
Now I'm at 800mhz and I've reactivated all animations

I tested custom Vsel (voltage) values with milestone overclock, and am glad to find that 1GHz is stable with 56 vsel. same as default for 550MHz. now, seems that my battery life improved significantly over previous setting 800mhz with 66vsel.

how do I custom the vsel?
btw, at what Fahrenheit or Celsius is considered over-limit?

press options (sensor button), settings, enter rate (e.g. 900MHz will be 900000) and max voltage(vsel, 56 seems stock value for 550MHz, but I have been running stable [email protected], [email protected], [email protected])
Then, save values, pull slider all way to the right, then click apply.
If you put too low value, phone will be unstable and reboot. I went from highest to low. i.e. started at [email protected] and then decreased vsel by 1 or 2, until phone became unstable. Then I went back up +1 and it has been running fast and energy efficient since then.

I do not know about highest possible temperature. At Vsel=56 phone does NOT get hot at all, this is stock voltage after all.

Thanks alot solnyshok ...
I'm now at ur settings 1ghz vsel56....
thank you so much...

you are welcome

Hmm default vsel on 800mhz for milestone no good ?

If you feed more, you'll drained quickly. So, while you can feed her with 54, why would you spend more and drain your pocket quickly?

I hope no one dare not to go for the highest possible temp. coz if u go over it, your processor will explode.
One thing i noticed is that, when the heat goes to 42C ... the frame of the battery icon on the status bar become Red color. then, you should know you've got to cool her down.

shoot!
I'm busted. i tried to set 1000000 @ 56 and forgot to un-check auto-load on start-up.
somehow, the setting is not working for my phone, and everytime it boots up. it's frozen ...
can anyone help me urgently?
------ update -------
I just found the solution myself.
take out the MicroSD card and put it into to the card-reader.
browse /android/data/pt.com.darksun.milestoneoverclock/files
you'll find a file name "autoload" (i thought it's a config file and tried to open it. but it's 0 Byte and there's nothing inside the file)
so i simply delete the file, put the SD card back into the phone and boot it up.
Wow!!! ... it's neat, the O/C is not loading.
then I go to the Options and put the vsel to 58. tested and working now.

Setcpu?

Anyone here try setcpu on your Galaxy S 4G?
I'm sure there is some "new and improved software" reason to not need it, but I figured I would try it to see if I could improve battery life in some way.
I'm still tinkering with the settings, but I think I have noticed a slight improvement. If you try it, don't set your screen-off speed to any lower than 400mhz. If you do your phone will slow to an unimaginable crawl, sometimes only to be recovered from with a reboot/battery pull.

You can use it but until there are custom kernels that allow you to underclock or overclock its gonna be a lost cause imo. At this point its only good for changing governors and possibly screen off profiles and things like that

Can't wait for an Oc kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

It already hauls once I removed bloatware, my system is pretty "bare bone" now, and it's FAASSSTTT.
That being said, one of the main reasons I upgraded to this phone from my modded HTC HD2 was the battery life was horrible on that phone (comparible to an evo 4g as per many side by side tests with a friend who had a new one).
Battery on this phone is GARBAGE, basically the SAME battery life, maybe only slightly better if at all....
I thought technology was supposed to be improving. I mean I abuse the phone, It's my sole entertainment while I'm at work (I work at a call center). I'm doing things on it 24/7.
But I figured it would perform better than a non-native android phone, modded to run android, that's two years old.. (htc hd2)

I have been using an app called tegrak overclock. it seems to work great for me.

TegraK seems to work. It's an "on demand, on the fly" patch that isn't persistent.
I see improvements in benchmarks and reads/writes. So, it seems to work. Every time you reboot though, you have to reset it.

Overclock eat much alot battery?

Dear all,
Is it a must that OC will consume much alot battery?
I am currently using Thiaiz V21a without OC, before tried the OC of Thiaiz and Accura V5 OC 1.18,, seems the battery drop much faster when OC..even it feel faster but not consistantly stable at all.
HOw about Accura V6.1 oc? Would it consume much alot battery?
You know the battery is not good at all so dont want to add burden to the battery by oc.
Thanks~

Oc'ed cpu eats more battery but not much coz we dont able to increase voltage yet, cpu runs at ref. Voltage.
Next point, the cpu runs on diffrent frequencies, matter of its using, a lot of time at 300 mhz.
Take more attention that custom roms has many tweaks to increase performance, so it's maybe battery killer.

seems like OC wont affect the battery time much.
i just tried acura V6 but have to give up at last because of reboots and inconsistantly fast (sometime fast. sometime lag)...
have to go back to ThiaiZ no oc which satisfy my need on ordinary usage without annoying and not too slow
anyway, all the development guys are great, without them we are still living with the suck official rom~

Can you teach me how to use for 27 hrs?
for me max. 6-8 hrs for normal usage with keeping screen on/off and 2.75G signal or wifi on.
If in sleep time it drop about 15% for 7 hrs. (2%/hr)

It deppends
It deppends of the over clock and how is it made.
I've got mine overclocked and i haven't noticed a big difference between the stock clock and the new one.
Got mine at: 1188mhz tekahuna occ module.
Regards

i use acura v6 o/cd to 1230 and have not faced much battery issue. Well maybe cuz i have a charger in my car, one cable plugged in my home pc, one charger near the main TV, one charger at my bedside and one cable plugged to my notebook in office LOL. Since the cable is standard one so i had all these extras from N900, and other old nokia.

I didnt do anything special. Just used it as normal. Actually forgot to charge it.

Off course it will consume more battery, faster clock speed, means faster battery down.
But I think I found something. I freeze all the com.lge.xxx, saved 50% of my battery. Except the com.lge.hiddenmenu, don't freeze it!! U won't be able to open the settings menu.
U have to use paid titanium backup to be able to freeze apps.

[Q] OC - noob - should I go for it? Risks? Worth it?

Hi.
I a speed freak! If there is something I hate, is lag.
I therefore thought of using a better kernel for my G2x.
As I understand, some kernels can OC the cpu. Wow. That's cool, first of all.
Second - any conclusions about this? Is it safe? Does it really make a difference (i don't game on my G2x)?
THANKS!

Since you obviously don't know how to use the search function, I'll just tell you that it is perfectly safe to install a kernel and constantly run it at 1.5 Gh.
Go buy setcpu from the market to set your processor speed at Max, and leave it there. All the time. No matter what.

Haha, good answer..Or you can go and download CPU master for free. =)... But honestly overclocking is not good

There's no real speed difference when overclocking install a custom kernel but don't overclocking it its a waste of battery
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

risks? yes. it kills your battery faster, and battery life will drop. by battery life, i mean the amount of recharge/discharge cycles it normally will allow will drop.
pros? makes your phone much faster. and no its not a placebo. if you bump up your kernel from 1ghz to 1.5ghz, thats obviously a speed increase. how can it not be faster.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

But also the risk at a constant 1.5 of overheating and burn out of the processor.

if you're a noob and don't know exactly what OC is, don't do that.
it can kill your battery and processor much faster, make you're phone unstable and accidentally overheat and burn out your processor, if you have a constant OC
processor life is worth the wait imo

I oc mine tops 1.2 and its as fast as it needs to be for my needs. I also bump up the minimal speed to about 500-800 cuz our g2x's should never be running that slow even when idle/screen off imo.

oh no:fingers-crossed:

greenify just pushes apps which is standing-by to sleep. if u want to really save energy, try setCpu (requires root)
if u use greenify, the energy saved is not so significant;
but if setCpu, u will see the difference!!
energy saving is quite important because it can extend your battery's life!
hope i can help you!

In fact it generally don't hurt your phone... it requires root and will just set the frequency of the cpu.
You can choose the frequency for your phone for different situations, like:
performance - when using apps that consumes many ram
ondemand - auto change the frequency, it will decide which governor is best for the time
powersave - save energy.
You can find the descriptions in the setCpu app, which is very informative and descriptive! ^^
Hope this helps!!
