Having trouble clocking

I am running miui and I have been wanting to clock my phone slightly for some time but no matter what kernel I use my phone crashes soon after I apply settings. It doesn't matter if I am clocking it any where between 1.2 or 1.5. I'm not sure if I am doing things wrong or what is going on. But I would really like to get it working. I will do my best to provide any info you need. please help me!

Some phones just don't like overclocking or underclocking I guess. Can I ask why are you wanting to overclock? I have found that overclocking is overrated. You really will not see much of a difference especially if you are use such a lite rom like cm7 or miui. When I first flashed my first rom I had a slight moment of...idiocy where all I cared about was to see how fast my quad score would go. Just fyi for future, quad scores are all crap they mean nothing lollll.
I got your 10 char right here

I had thought that it was my phone but I the first kennel I got that came with miui months back clocked my phone fine. Before I knew it the kernel was changed and every one I try my phone crashes. I just felt like for the little time before my phone crashes it seems to run everything smoother. Maybe i'm just convincing myself that. I partly wanted to figure out why my phone was crashing and learn something. I guess I can live with it not being clocked

Random shutdowns

For about a few weeks now my phone keeps shutting down in my pocket. It started doing while on miui gb, this rom had always been stable for me until the last 2 updates. I have recently flashed miui v4 and that was terrible, it shutdown 4-5 times in an hour. So now I have flashed aokp build 34 and I love this rom. But again this has shutdown in my pocket, only once so far though. Now could this be a software problem or hardware problem?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

My immediate thought from reading other threads over the months...
What are your undervoltage settings? Even the default settings in all ROMs tend to affect certain people different due to minor variances in hardware tolerances. It may be worth changing the UV to +25, +50 and try to tweak until it becomes more stable.

I've never under volt as tried it once and phone just wouldn't work, so you could be onto something. Maybe my phone is overly sensitive to voltages. I'll try it and post back here how it goes.
How will it affect battery life?

I've been lucky that my phone seems to have been mostly happy with all ROMs at default, although I did add a +25 to Reaper after two random reboots in a week.
The battery changes from a minor change like that should be, well, minor. Still a lot better than saving battery by having the phone shut itself down

Your case strongly reminds me of the 'death pressure point's which I experience on my phone back in September.
(See my thread) I suffered the same issues as you for a month - blamed it on the phone not waking from sleep, but it turned put my battery was faulty, and not connecting properly.
Try applying some light pressure to the back of the phone, and see whether it will automatically turn off?

Oly,
Fancy adding a link to that thread? I don't remember that one so it could be a useful reminder.

Nope doesn't turn off. But I did read something like that a while back somewhere. It sort of makes a bit of sense as it only happens in my pocket I could leave it on the side all day and its fine.
How did you fix it was it the old 'pack it out with some paper' job. I remember doing that to a phone that had buttons, can you believe it a phone that had buttons!!!

Took me a while to spot it.
@goatimus, take a look at the thread, I got my solution by getting a new battery
HTC sent me a new one for free!

Interesting looks like I will be getting hold of HTC for a new battery. Weird thing though is on that thread most peoples phones were new, mines nearly a year old!
Also does the ics tiamat kernal work fine with aokp as I would like to try the overvolting method but my kernal doesn't support it.

So you can confirm the same issues?
My phone was working fine for a month, then the problem started happening
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Sent a message to HTC, waiting for reply. Haven't overvolted as kernal doesn't support it and don't want to change to tiamat as everything works fine.
But.......
I did place a couple of folded rizlas between battery and clip and it hasn't shutdown since. Maybe after all the farting about removing battery and sim has took its toll on the clip. Anyway I'm happy running blind ice m5 with nearly no problems now.

I dont know if it's just me but i noticed that those stuff happen a LOT more on ICS roms.
(although did have this in older versions of Reaper,
Endymion, Virtuous and especially RunnyDroid, never happened on sense 3.0 roms)
also:
* OverVolting helps
* Overclocking helps
* Tiamat kernel makes it WORSE ( at least for CM9 & MIUI v4)

Try This
I had the same problem and i used to put a little piece of paper behind the battery
and i worked for me..

I was really curious when it started reboots and freezes on reaper. Never suffered from that before. on endymion I could even undervolt by -100.
On reaper I have to overvolt by 25 to be stable. Really strange

Sudden Battery Drain?

Hey guys,
So I'm running the latest TrickDroid for T-Mobile One S, so far I love it... Except that I HATE Sense. And I hate the Sense apps that replace stock Google apps. Flashing gapps doesn't kill them.
So I installed Go SMS and I actually really like it alot. The problem is, ever since I installed it, my battery has been dying really quickly.
I uploaded a screenshot of the battery usage and it says screen, but I can tell you that's strange because the screen settings are no different than before?
Could it be this new app is keeping the screen awake without it really being awake or something? Im going to try freezing the Go SMS app and see if that changes anything.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

download an app like watchdog and use it to monitor apps that go over the cpu threshold, You can edit the threshold to suit you but i leave it as default.
My biggest battery consumer is the screen, But i still get close to 2 days
Amoled screens use a lot of power, thats the only disadvantage

Why don't you ask in the ROM thread? Or don't you like me? :O
I will release a new version soon anyway..
BTW, charge to 100% and make a reboot

Remove gosms and your battery should be back normal. I used gosms apps on my sg2 and it killed my battery

[Q] CPU Settings for games?

Bought Mass Effect Infiltrator today as it was on sale. Wouldn't boot until I installed Chainfire 3D and disabled MapBuffer Emu I think it was.
Now after logging into Origin for first time, it crashes phone every time I try and reload the game.
My question: Whats the best SetCPU settings? I've been trying a number of max settings, and governors, and all have caused phone to reboot. If anyone knows a magic setting that would keep me from rebooting for hours and hours, it would make my night much easier.
Or are there other tricks I can try?

It doesn't seem to be the phone's settings. Have you tried some other ROMs? I don't know if it was posted here or not, but CM7 reloaded had a change in the video driver and may prove diagnosticly beneficial. What ROM are you running? You may want to try a FroYo ROM. Maybe one with b_kernel?

It runs fine for me on Minimal Triumph and Sharp Roms.

Running AOKP, which i realize will likely be the most problematic. Quallcomm plugin in chainfire got it running, though phone got super hot and the text was completely illegible.

I think AOKP is gingerbread, right? Do you know what drivers they are using? If stock, they would have their hands full trying to make all of the connections

[Q] stable ROM with good battery life?

So my wife has an LG G2X on stock android 2.3.4 and she complains that after a while it will move so slowly that it is almost unusable. I have told her to restart the phone whenever that happens and she is having to do that about once a week, but that clears up the problem for a while. Aside from that, everything works as it should. It is using the march 2012 baseband.
Since it is not my phone, I do not know exactly what all she is doing on her phone, but I assume it is mostly facebook, watching videos, texting, and calls. I'm looking for a stable ROM where everything works like stock and has at least the same (if not better) battery life as stock.
And yes, I have searched but a lot of the info seems outdated. I am thinking that I might just run a rooted stock ROM with a custom kernel (leaning towards faux's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720 )... or maybe the stable cm-7.2.0-p999
summary: wife's G2X becomes VERY laggy after ~1 week use, suggest a fix
thanks :good:

Having to restart once a week is not problem, if anything that's a good thing lol. I had to restart my stock unrooted g2x multiple times a week.......if you move to a custom rom your wife will probably have to restart about the same if not more. I'm on cm7 and i restart about once a day just because i like to, not out of necessity. If your wife isn't huge into customization than a stock rooted rom will work just fine. Faux makes a great kernel but it was a little harsher on battery for my liking. I'm running Trinity oc right now and love it. If i were you, i would look at mazouts latest kernel build. He makes AWESOME kernels and ill be moving over to his latest release whenever it comes out tonight or tomorrow.

i had her on a cm7 build with her previous phone (motorola defy) and she seemed to like it OK. didn't customize it too much, just used all the default settings.
after i posted this thread, i actually started to look at, and downloaded mazout's kernel... so now i'm thinking of trying out the 3/1 "nightly" build of cm7 with mazout's 0323 kernel. i can't seem to find a known bugs list for cm7 on this phone. are there any known bugs?
does this build of cm7 have a "restart" option in the power menu? that is one of my pet peeves with the stock ROM. the only way i have found to restart the phone is to "power off" and then "power on". i think she would be more willing to restart the phone if it was an automated restart

Yes there is aa "reboot" option that comes up from holding the power button. Maz's 0323oc kernel is awesome. I wouldn't put the Max over 1015 and keep the minimum at 216. Known bugs.....for me the only bug i had was the phone would heat up pretty bad overnight while charging. It was instantly fixed by going into my development settings under applications and selecting the "keep awake" option while charging.

ive actually been having surprisingly good luck running hellfire rom compared to when i was running CM7, its been stable for almost a week now, battery life isnt as good, but much better then stock.

Whaaaat? Hellfire is tweaked out isn't it? Looks like a badass looking rom, just too comfortable with vanilla cm7

If you want to stay with stock just root it and install an app to give yourself access to either full reboot or a quick warm reboot from the home screen.
Rebooting is a necessary evil

threw "fast reboot" on there to see how she likes it since it doesn't require root, works more like an app killer, but kills all in one press.
now, would i see any noticeable gains by using a custom kernel (stock voltage, no overclock)?

Yes, not an extreme amount but a definite yes. I know by experience with CM7 that mazout's stock voltage beta kernel was much better than the stock CM7 kernel. Those kernels are only for CM7 though. I do not have any experience with an upgraded kernel on my g2x while it was stock as I flashed CM7 and mazouts kernel right after.

^ those stats are kind of irrelevant considering he's asking for a decent play out on battery while using performance. [All around use.] You just showed us what a phone with no data signals and almost no use other then the odd screen wake [possibly texts/calls] the op explained he needed a ROM that takes minimal battery with most use, and being a girl I would imagine she's using social networking which requires WiFi or 3G/4G Please don't take what I'm saying as offensive, your information is very handy however it steers the op in the wrong direction as I'm sure his wife likes to use her phone as much as possible without being stuck to a charger. My girlfriend is currently using my old g2x and so far we've had the best luck with cm7 stable and the trinity kernel with slight under volt. What I would suggest the op do is maybe take a little research nightly on her battery drain, find out what she's using the most and go from there. Unfortunately because its not HIS phone, he's not going to witness distinction first hand and won't be able come to a easy conclusion, and it doesn't help that the g2x devs are stuck on GB, too many ports to keep interest and the search could take forever.
LETS KEEP PRAYING TMOBILE HASNT FORGOT US!
PS spawne32, when you did have your phone like the picture did that include battery apps or task killers? Or just straight up OS? Whenever I tried the ROM you suggested [it has been a while, maybe since updated.] I get screen wake issues and all kinds of battery drain.

To the op, also recommend to your wife the app called "screen filter" it has an option to lower the key brightness, there are a few of those apps out there but I only remember using that, one of the g2x sad but true battery drainers.

Similar issue - frequent reboots - please suggest ROMs, kernels, other solutions!
I have an LG Optimus G2X (P-999) running the original, unrooted, stock OS (android 2.3.4 "gingerbread", with the "old" bootloader and the baseband from March 2012).
Similar to the OP's wife's phone, mine is running slower and slower, frequently locks up, sometimes so badly that I need to remove the battery to restart it, and sometimes it just restarts itself. I've already tried uninstalling unused apps, clearing caches, moving apps to the SD card, etc. None of that seemed to noticeably help, and lately I need to restart it at least once every 24 hours.
(There are other annoyances too, like the way the GPS hangs and drops, and the battery life isn't great - although the battery may just be too old.)
I'm planning to root it and uninstall the bloatware as a first step, using the instructions I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050534
Then, I'm considering installing a custom ROM and/or kernel. (Most up-to-date list, I believe, is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975934 )
Given the problems I'm having, do you think one or both will help? (If yes, do you have any specific recommendations for a ROM and/or kernel, or tips, or possible pitfalls I should avoid?) Are there other ideas I should consider?
Thanks in advance!
