yea tegrak... i'll try to get a clear one didnt know it came out that blurry plus i didnt keep track of score cuz i've been getting that all day

I know this is a stupid question but other than improve quadrant scores, what else does it really improve? Im running the overclock at 1.2ghz right now and I dont notice any difference
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

I was testing it out and it didn't really make much of a difference on my for Quadrant Standard. I used SetCPU and put both min and max to 1.3 and set scaling to performance and not a big change. I dunno if I'm doing something wrong.

well i'm also deodexed kd1, bali kernel so i dunno n also runnin the touchwiz 4.0(beautiful interface, just a btw)... well my overall performance improved n battery life surprisingly good... its been 7 hrs now and i still got juice...

most recent score 1211

What exactly do I have to do to OC it? I tried it when I had my Captivate but I thought that I needed a different kernel? SetCPU wouldn't let me go over 1ghz... But I do have the bali kernel flashed right now.
EDIT: Nevermind, I saw the other post right after I made this. Sorry to interrupt!

I started a thread about this a while back and I wanted to share the info that was shared to me. Just FYI

Quadrant Advanced provides the breakdown for each individual area (multi-colored).
http://slideme.org/application/quadrant-advanced
The thing about quadrant however, is it's not optimized or suited for the processor in our phones (Hummingbird). It was designed for snapdragon processors.
Additionally, Quadrant is sub par in my opinion on benchmark test apps (even though it's well known) because it does operations that aren't typical. If you get advanced you'll see that it does like 60% all IO operations, however thats a really strange test because it would be like you running a full on database on your phone.
So the scenarios and tests it runs are not representative of the scenarios you are going to use your phone to perform.
I like SmartBench better because it gives you an index for Gaming and Productivity.
Samsung Galaxy S 4G's will slightly outperform the snapdragon/adreno combo that you see in the MT4G etc. Very slight advantage. In regard to productivity it does well too.

U won't notice anything earth shattering from an extra 200 MHz. However for games and flash and videos it does help. Also improves app loading times and things like that so even though it doesn't seem to do much it does help alot when the phone is pushed to the 1ghz area

Scored 1263 Running deodexed KD1, with Bali kernel and spb shell (which is kind of a resource hog)
I know it doesn't truly give a benchmark for our processor, but just like getting your car dyno'd before you build it... it's good for a baseline number. And I was just under 900 stock.

dling now...will report back with results
ETA: phone may be a little smoother? quad scores and linpack scores both stayed in the same range

is this to work with aosp and sense roms?

It seems to work with Static Nonsense...I can tell a difference but I wouldn't say its dramatic.

I lost root with this, then fixed it, but didn't notice any real improvement after that. Scores stayed the same.

Couldn't hurt. I have to admit my web pages are loading faster, transitions are smoother...apps seem to be loading quicker and overall I can tell a difference...but again I have to say its not a "I'm just blown away by this" difference.
Just wanted to add that after flashing this, the first boot took forever...so long in fact I thought I was gonna have to pull the battery and recover a recent backup.

It did improve overall. even lower bat. drain. Thank you dsexton702 for the share.

I do what I can for you guys

What ROM are you using?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

First boot took a little while for me as well using CM7 nightly, but I do definitely like the increase in how smooth everything feels.

Anyone using this with a Sense ROM?

I'm using with VU 2.35 sense 3.0 and it does wonders my score before at 1 ghz. Was 1800
Right after installing u.s.a.s still at 1 ghz jumped up to 2200 quadrent score.
After oc to 1.3 ghz my quadrent score was 2600
Runs very nice hard to tell difference as VU 2.35 runs so smooth but its an improvement
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

Went from 1991 to 2056. VU 2.35 runs very nice, but was having a small hesitation when turning on screen and this seems to have fixed that issue. Very nice work

So if I cook this in, my autofill does NOT work in messaging, but if I flash it after a rom install its fine

This is an awesome tweak my processor has never been stable over 1.3 now Im running 1.7 ghz and its crazy fast got my quadrent score up to 3000 running this fast
Never had such a smooth experience doesn't matter how many apps are open.

Why does auto fill not work when trying to type a persons name to send text ?

Over 1.2GHz = Lock

Hello everyone. I have had my Nexus S 4G for about 2 weeks now, and I have tried everything I can think of. However, I cannot overclock my phone higher than 1.2GHz. If I set it to 1.44GHz (or even 1.3GHz in most kernels), within the first five minutes, it locks up, requiring a battery pull. I have tried just about every kernel. Trinity, Netarchy, Matr1x, everything. However, I get the same result. I am assuming that it is just my phone. I know that when I had my Evo, it didn't want to OC past 1.1 GHz stably, but the refurb I got from Sprint ran at 1.21 GHz like a champ. I was just wondering if anyone had the same issue, and if so, if it was possible to alleviate this problem. I would love to run my Nexus at 1.44 GHz, because some of the Quadrant scores look amazing.
Thanks again for reading,
StompySan

After running Quadrant twice with it set at 1.3, I got a lockup. 100% not responsive. Had to pull battery.
EDIT: I tried benchmarking my phone with CF-Bench, thinking maybe it could have been a fluke with Quadrant, and had the exact same results. At 1.3 and 1.46GHz.

Ok if neither of those work I need you to do 2 things.
1. Raise all voltages by 30
2. Set it to 1.2 ghz
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I can overclock without reboots to 1.2. Any higher than that is when the problem arises.

Ok now once you flash v9.0, go into setcpu and raise all voltages by 30
Now try 1.3

When you say all voltages, you mean even the ones that it already runs stably on?

No no, just the unstable ones
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

OK, so Quadrant ran fine for 5 tests, and CF-Bench ran OK as well. Should I push it up to 1.46 now?

Try it, and if you get a reboot, raise voltage for 1.46 by 10.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

No lockups yet! I have ran Quadrant 5 times, CF-Bench 2 times, and Linpack a couple times. Seems to be doing great! I am going to test it more thoroughly tomorrow (it's almost 1AM where I live, lol), but it seems great right now!
I have never increased the voltages on a phone CPU before. I have done it on my brother's computer when I overclocked his processor, but I generally try to avoid it. I am just really paranoid to mess with the amount of power going through the processor. That's why I turned to the professionals in this case. Thanks again for your extremely quick reply.

Cool! you just needed a bit of a voltage push, that's all
let's hope 1.46 ghz runs well

Mathkid Ive never been stable past 1.3 so I followed what you told him to do and what do you know! Perfectly stable so far at 1.44 on apocalypse kernel!! Might have to try your 9.0 at 1.46 soon!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

So is there a limit to how far one should overvolt? I upped the voltage at 1440 mhz to 1550 mV. Did run rather stable except for "Lets golf HD!" which froze. I would really like to be able to run at 1440, but not sure what to do. Im using Apocalypse Talon 3.2.1.
Do you think your kernel would handle OCing better, mathkid?

Yeah you can try it out and if you need to raise voltages go ahead

1.9 GHz

I recently overclocked my inspire 4g to 1.9GHz on the virtuous unity ROM its quite stable and can be used on a daily basis.
I've been getting a average of about 3000 on quadrant professional.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. You're talking a 90% OC w/ ZERO added ability to dissipate heat generated by the processor and that equals a short life.

I don't get the fascination with OC. I run my Inspire underclocked to 921 MHz or lower. Does everything I normally do just fine.

This. I mean I can understand a modest overclock, like 1.15 or 1.2, but 1.9? Asking for problems..1.9 OC sounds like you're fixing up a small grenade over there ..to each their own though..

I don't run it at 1.9 but it can be done, I runt it at 1.1 regular.

i can't imagine battery life is great running it at that speed either lol. i set my max at 1.2, i'll see if i even want to keep it at that.

I have to agree with you here. If it can't run well without OC then there is a prob.

i average 2500 quadrant on absolution at 998mhz. so i dont see where doubling the clock speed is worth the 500 quadrant.

Would it make sense to determine your max stable overclock and then tweak a governor (like ondemandx) to only kick in in extreme circumstances? I don't know the exact settings for something like this, but I image that it would be possible. Does anyone know for sure?

Forgot to ask, what is the best indicator of temperature? I've seen the battery temperature. Is there a way to actually check the CPU temp?

I don't over clock, at least not intentionally. I guess some roms may do this. Phone gets damn hot in the car if on the charger and I will get a random reboot occasionally, so overclocking us just going to make that worse and I have no problems running any apps speedwise.

Downvolting and stability testing

Hi guys, I was wondering how you test the stability of your undervolting. I have been using StabilityTest but even though I always pass the stress test I know that the phone is unstable because it sometimes reboots.

Hey,
Did you manage to undervolt the phone, and it is stable?
Could you publish the voltages?
Also, which ROM, Kernel and governor do you use?
Thanks, Nir

I have s4 processor, on 2.15 hboot s off, running viper one s 2.2 and I went down like 75mv at lowest cpu frequency and 50mv across the board and had no problems at all in a month at least.
I didn't try any lower than that cause I'd rather not push it.

I'm on the stock (well, modded by me ) ICS 4.0.4 rom, Bricked kernel, intellidemand governor. I managed to undervolt quite well and I can say it's stable at 1,1V @1,5GHz. I could probably go a bit lower but I still don't know because I haven't find a good stress test which I can rely on. At 1,1V I have no random reboots, though.

I just switched to elementalX kernel for the options on first boot. Disabled dtw and enabled s2w enabled lowest cpu idle (192) and 800mv idle undervolting.
So far so good, seems like my phone is not picky at all. I've actually never had it act up on anything so far, knock on wood.
I have it overclocked to max 1.8ghz now too.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

You can probably go lower than 1150mv @1,5GHz. I don't see any major benefit in battery life, though. The most important effect is the cpu temperature, especially now that's summer.

You were right, I went down further to [email protected] and lowered it equally almost across the board. Still no issues.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

It seems the only way to safely undervolt is trial and error...
I've now undervolted the lowest frequency (192mhz with my kernel) down to 700mv (the minimum allowed) and will see if it's stable.

So far it's stable. 700mv @ 192MHz!

Same here, no problem so far
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

To cope with the summer, I've set the frequency to 1242MHz (instead of 1500MHz) and downvolted to 900mv! So huge of a downvolt, if you think that 1500Mhz requires 1,1V. :cyclops:
The user inteface is as smooth as before, no lags at all.

I just tried going down to 925mv at 1242mhz, but I still have max cpu at 1.5ghz, tried to lower it somewhat even across the board without going too low but ended up with a freeze/reboot under load so I have to try higher than that.

I can say that mine is stable at 900mV @1242MHz. It's been weeks without a crash, so far. If your sample is a bit unlucky it's likely that it will be stable at 25-50 mV higher than mine, not bad after all.

I did just that and so far no issues. Thanks
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

does anyone actually get any tangible benefits from undervolting? It can't be much more than 2-3 degrees. How much battery percentage is saved on a full charge? how many more minutes do you get?

I can't say at all. My usage is never the same one day to the next and I've been using different ROMs since I started under volting. I will try to check overnight drain with stock vs under volted soon.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I can't say, either. Nothing that's going to change your life, about battery life. About the temperature I haven't tested in a scientific way, but I can say that now it's cool even if the weather is really hot (30-35°).
