[Q] Overclocking and voltage control

Can someone point me to where I can learn how to use set cpu and set voltage properly. Just installed superotimized kernel and wondering how to take full advantage of it

overclocking is pre-enabled, under volting can be done through an app the link is in the thread. there are 2 settings. try about -50v each if that works fine bump one down to -75mv at a time. test the phone over a day or two and see how it runs, see if it has sleep death after a few periods of inactivity, especially extended periods, see if it has sleep death while charging, which seems to make a difference that will test the low setting.
see if the phone shuts down without freezing, and see if it shuts down without freezing while charging, the heat in the battery makes a big difference, play some 3d games. if you have freezing issues you can disable overclocking under different situation with set cpu or se t the volts to a more conservative setting.

I've been told that undervolting can improve the battery time. Of course, lots of varying opinions of how good/bad it may be to overclock.
If I want to just undervolt, is that possible with SetCPU?

Interesting stuff...
I too would like to know if it is possible to simply under-volt. Does anyone know the optimal settings for SetCpu with the Captivate...or does it vary depending on each users profile/ phones?

So Ive been playing around with various settings for set cpu and voltage control and all has been well so far. The only problem im having is voltage control seems broke. I try to open the all but it just black screens. I tried to clear the memory and unistall and reinstall and still have the same problem. Any ideas?

^you can under volt setirons kernel and disable overclocking with this app.
i find my battery life to be less than stock with this kernel, i need to see if it is a common issue, maybe because it is not a captivate kernel. but in the past with unhelpfuls kernel for 2.1 battery life was awesome.

It's going to depend on the individual CPU in your phone. Your best result is to start at a given clock speed and begin lowering voltage in the smallest step possible, test for stability, repeat until you begin to notice instability (or you just run out of voltage options). You can just undervolt without increasing clock speed any, or you can not undervolt yet raise clock speed, or you can overclock and undervolt, depending on how your particular chip reacts. Some might need additional voltage to stabilize the snapdragon at 1.2Ghz while others (mine for example) is stable Able @ -100mV and 1.2Ghz. Overclocking silicon is the ultimate in YMMV.
Another thing to bear in mind is that increasing clock speed necessarily increases power consumption. There is no way around this. So a chip at 1.2Ghz will use more juice than 1Ghz even with the same voltage. It's difficult to say at this point whether, say, the Snapdragon @ 1.2Ghz and -100mV uses more or less power than the same chip @1Ghz and stock voltage. It's absolutely possible that the former uses more power, which would explain why you see at least one claim here of battery life decreasing even when voltage settings are left untouched.

Thanks for clarifying Hawkeye! I will report back on in a few days once i have tested out a few profiles. In my opinion, I feel that it is best to leave Over-clocking at default and maximize battery utilization with setcpu. However, the thought of over-clocking the Dragon beast is VERY tempting. Who wouldn't? I will definitely check out the differences when playing games and such.

I have to tell you, I'm not personally very fond of SetCPU on this device, even though I paid for the app (ugh). With raspdeep's voltage control app and SetIron's OC/UV kernel, the CPU defaults to 1.2Ghz at stock voltage, which for a basic setup is fine. Voltage Control app is phenomenal for adjusting in increments of 25mv at a time...one setting is for high clocks (1Ghz - 1.2Ghz) and the other is for < 1Ghz. It's probably best actually to start with the lower clock setting in Voltage Control, as your phone will spend the lion's share of it's time at those clocks and so that is where you should see the most gain in battery life. My only gripe is that I can't get the boot settings to stick on the Captivate so I have to go in and adjust them each time I reboot the phone. no biggie there.
SetCPU, on the other hand, has caused me loads of problems in the past, including causing the phone not to wake up from sleep and just atrocious battery life, I assume from constantly polling the CPU clock to measure clock speed. I have not experienced any of that with Overclock Widget, but I also don't use any of the independent clockspeed controls in the app...basically it's just a widget to display clock speed the way I use it. Otherwise, Setiron's kernel gives the 200mhz overclock and I just let the Hummingbird deal with changing clocks on its own. Jmo, but it works for me with no resulting battery drain beyond the additional I expect as a result of the extra 200mhz.

LOL. No Worries. I myself made the same mistake. I thought something was odd with my post. SnapDragon...Hummingbird....Bulbasaur.....I knew what you meant. lol

Still not having any luck with the voltage control app. Ive tried flashing different roms to see if it would work. I undervolted it to 100/75 the first time i did it and now i cant change. Only a little worried

i guess there was an issue with the set on boot scripts not working. supposedly that is fixed, i dont know for sure though, i haven't updated.

From what I'm gathering, in order to undervolt, you must have a kernel to su pport that, for example Setirons.
I'm not necessarily interested in overclocking, as it performs well as is. Of course there are arguments that overclocking may ultimately harm the phone, and arguments that by the time that happens, you'd be ready for a new phone. In any event, if I start getting slower, I may interest in overclocking.
Does anyone know if dramatic improvement in battery performance with underclocking?

I've noticed quite a bit of a difference, just pretty difficult to tune it precisely. (Coming from a person who enjoys overclocking computers a little too much). I just wish there was an app that would test each frequency and then let you know which one failed (without having to manually set it).

Overclocking / Underclocking

either with setcpu or voltage control...would someone care to just explain how to use these apps.
I understand the governers, and I understand the min / max.
So If I bump that max up to 1400 or even 1600 and leave the minimum down...what exactly does that do?
If paired with on demand does it mean it will use as much processor as it needs to perform a task all the way up to the max of what I have it set to?
also, the thing that seems to confuse me mostly are the individual sliders you can adjust per frequency.
I know this is broad question, but I was just hoping someone wouldnt mind explaining this to me as best as possible...or at least dumb it down for me.
I have googled and searched, and really havent found clear answers to me personally to understand it.
thanks

I personally use voltage control extreme.
In regards to the individual sliders you speak of, I believe that those control how many volts the phone uses at each particular frequency. You don't want to turn the voltages down too low/high though because you can freeze your phone and have other problems.
I use the "conservative" governor and seem to get the best battery life with it.
By overclocking to 1400 or 1600 it allows for your phone to run applications, videos, etc. smoother, by using the remaining cpu capabilities of the phone's hardware. The drawbacks of overclocking are that it sucks the battery very quickly, it can cause the cpu to overheat, and can also decrease the life of the processor.
Hope that helps some!

So what is a safe top end? To run on a daily basis.

Every CPU is different, some will handle OC better than others. It all comes down to what is stable for you. Also, it isn't overclocking that decreases the life of the processor, but overvolting. Just set the voltages as low as possible while maintaining stability, test using a benchmarking app. Also, ondemand is the best choice of governor IMO.

But doesn't overclocking cause the phone to heat up? I suppose it also depends on what temperature the phone is rated to safely run at too though doesn't it? Cause with increased temperatures I am pretty sure the processor's life could be impacted. But that is probably only if you overclock for a extended period of time.
I would suggest staying at 1.2 for daily use, but if you are doing something that requires a little more cpu you can just bump it up until you don't need it anymore.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I know that some ppl OC to 1.6 with ondemand gov and use that as a stable setting... others report problems, FCs, ... think it depends on individual phone.
Some stay at 1.4 to be cautious...
The UV section is where I hear a lot of dissenting opinion. Some say -100 across the board gives best battery/stability... others say voltage should be high toward 1600 and UV more as you approach lower frequencies... personally I find that a graduated setup is best but I am not an expert.
Just sayin' what I've read here.

[Q] overclocking droid charge

How can I go about overclocking my droid charge? I am running TWEAKSTOCK 1.0 rom and was wondering how to overclock my charge?

I haven't seen any over clockable kernels so until then I don't think you can.

With the same kernel?

Well, if you actually searched, this would be clearly stated in many threads.
For GB overclocking, use Tegrak for now, until we can get an actual OC kernel up and running. I think Tegrak will work on the stock kernel as long as you're rooted, as it uses a module to modify the CPU frequency.

Take what I say with a grain of sand, I'm expressing my views without much scientific validation.
Keep in mind that overclocking is like icing on the cake. There are far more beneficial things like changing the scheduler to noop or deadline. Fugu tweaks and V-6 are highly recommended to improve responsiveness and improve your launcher resiliency. That said, I feel overclocking has its place and helps in many cases. I've noticed, in general, various tasks and some web-browsing will benefit from the increased clock speed. Some things don't ramp up the CPU very much and you won't notice much difference in that case.
I monitor my CPU usage with CPUNotify as well as OS Monitor.
I monitor the CPU temps with TempMonitor (it allows for a notifcation icon that shows the CPU temp.)
I use StabilityTest to check for overclock settings stability. The cool thing about Tegrak is that when you apply overclock settings on boot (paid version only) and you choose settings that crash the phone, the settings don't apply until most of the phone is already booted up, so you aren't stuck in an infinite boot loop of crashing fun. You should be able to simply change up the settings after they apply since the phone will be mostly idle by the time Tegrak settings are applied.
As for settings...
I use the Interactive X governor. I prefer this governor for its simplicity and ability to ramp up to high CPU clock speeds quickly. I enable the governor by typeing "su" and "ix enable" in Terminal Emulator when on Imoseyon's 4.0 kernel.
I change the "scaling min" to 200Mhz to avoid instability when CPU usage ramps down quickly.
Currently at CPU Level 0 I am at 1265mv Core Voltage, 1100mV (unchanged) Internal Voltage, and 1200 Mhz Frequency.
I don't actually change other CPU Levels.
Lately I've been just keeping at eye on temps so I haven't achieved my desired clock speed of a relatively low-voltage 1.4Ghz to 1.5Ghz.
Overclocking is very dependent on the particular sample you get. Some of us have "Golden Chips" and some of us have duds.
Your CPU should be totally safe at temps around 130 degrees F, although I suspect that it could even take higher sustained temps well above that if it needed. I don't actually know, this is speculation.
I like to keep my temps low in general, I rarely crack 100F with my current settings (weather is cool here.)
Overclocking computers is one of my hobbies, and its fun to dive into the phone side of things. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of information regarding overclocking the Hummingbird processor. People have overclocked to 1.6Ghz. Stability tests are essential to improve the reliability of your overclock. Die hards will run the tests for 24 hours to weeks in the computer realm. At least with computers its better understood how the stability test actually works. I run 24 hours of Orthos blend mode (Prime95) on each core.
With phones, its hard to say if it will truly be stable.
I test for an hour on the phone with StabilityTest and call it good. Hopefully in the future more information will come to light regarding how to properly overclock.
Remember, the other side of the coin is underclocking and undervolting. If you drop your voltage, you should see a nice increaes in battery life. If you drop your clocks, then you can drop your voltage even more. If you get your phone dialed in to where there isn't much background apps sucking juice- a phone that is UV/UC'ed should have excellent battery life.

Does anyone else read noop as nope?
What's the difference between internal and CPU voltage?
Also, I hope you know that Orthos does not scale well across multiple cores. You are essentially relying on Task Manager to put the load on different cores.Orthos was originally made with dual cores in mind.

Apparently little is known in the public domain about Internal voltage. I have been unable to find good information regarding Internal voltage. Knowing little about the architecture of the SOC, I suspect it is a voltage that controls different parts of the SOC hub. I suspect that you could say its synonymous with a computer motherboard's voltage (although there are several.)
I find it interesting that, as far as I can tell, few people have increased Internal voltage much even though they may achieve a clock speed of 1.6GHz by increasing CPU voltage.
In any case, I have heard reports of instability by going to low, as would be expected. I haven't found the need to increase Internal voltage yet.
P.S. You can run an instance of Prime95 on each "core" or one instance of Orthos per two "cores" and still be able to test stability reliably. You have to set Core affinity, and I usually set it so that each core and hyperthreaded core each get an instance of Orthos. In this case, each core's usage will be 100%.

Internal SOC voltage...maybe akin to northbridge or southbridge voltage? When OCing a computer you have to keep the northbridge within a nominal voltage of the CPU frequency (if that makes sense). Too much of a discrepancy makes the computer unstable. Increasing the southbridge voltage increases the memory overclocking stability with large amounts of RAM, and obviously, when you overclock a processor you are also overclocking memory.
Maybe we could ask the developer? Although he is Korean and we may not be able to get our point across.
For stability testing on PCs I recommend OCCT. Scales well over Multiple cores and also allows GPU and power supply stability testing.

Well, I have heard of slight Internal Voltage increases being necessary for high overclocks on Hummingbird. I have heard dropping it causes major instability. I would guess that it doesn't need to be modified for modest overclocks.
I did quite a bit of web searching trying to find conclusive guides or overclocking results for Humminbird to no avail.
I use ATI Tool for checking GPUs, but OCCT may be better. It seems OCCT has improved a fair bit, I may use it.

Probably because no one has taken the time to write one. Not exactly in high demand. I knew of one "guide" but the site has been down for quite some time.
Of course there are noobs guides but nothing quite in depth. I suppose people don't write them because there are obvious limits set by the kernel dev, and anything beyond that requires someone who obviously knows what they're doing, which defeats they purpose of a guide.

[Q] - Overclocked kernels - What's the point ?

I see a lot of overclocked kernel editions, and I am wonder could someone explane me, except extensive battery draining, instabillity and overheating of device, what is and is there any crucial positive point of overclocked kernels ?

Overclocked kernels are simply kernels whose speed limit had been raised above the stock speed.
That increases perrormans dramatically as is visible by different benchmarks utilities.
You are correct to assume that higher clock would require some extra voltage and that the phone will get hotter. But it is not always noticeable and is mostly depentant on the configuration.
The cpu clock is not always at the highest possible. Different governors define what speed should the cpu be at any time. If there's a lot of work the cpuspeed would increase and if it idles a lot it would decrease.
I love 3 oc kernels, Sebastian's, bricked and faux. They all have different philosophies but all are excelent, do not overheat and save gather.compared to stock though they allow higher cpu freqs.
I suggest you create a nandroid backup and try some of.there kernels. Give it atleast two days.before you make up your mind about it, and try another if you wish, till you find the one that is right for you.

I agree. I never see the point of over clocking. I always limit my processor to 1.18 or even 1.13 and never have any problems with overheating or poor battery life!

I used overclock kernels for a long time on my gs2. Its nearly the same like with a desktop CPU. Every CPU had it's own work range, many CPUs a
are even able to work with higher frequency but lower voltage than standard. This causes in higher speed with lower power consumption!
all you need is a kernel which allows individual voltage settings for each speed which you can set with setcpu.
BUT my opinion is that even the gs2 with 1,2 GHz dual core was faster than any Android app had needed, so the gs3 at all!
ATM I've setted the max frequency in setcpu to 600 mhz and I can't see any lags or missing speed...
So I guess many people are more looking for benchmarking than real practical advantage..
but undervolting is a real great thing for power hungry smartphones!

You all right guys. That is why I asked myself that question because there is hard to find modded kernels with default speeds and all new goodies, because I have noticed even I "limit" overclocked kernel in my Hypersensation CM7 Cyanogen Settings, it happens that some kernels from time to time speeds up to overclocked value, even in settings they were limited, and that impact widespread device causes instabillity ( and corrensponding unpleasent situations of forced battery pulling).
Last good kernel what I find for my CM7 ( I don't like ICS) is Bricked_XE-1.6.beta7 and with this release of CM7 it seems that kernel edition further development stops.It runs on 1526 Mhz and I allways wonder why shouldn't it run "out of the box" on default speed...
Does anyone have suggestion link, (because I couldn't find it )for any CM7 modded kernel with all new goodies, but running on default Sensation XE Mhz speed ?

i have been using overclocked Kernels for a while now and rarely have any problems, the phone is quick, very quick and the battery drain is really not that different and that is running it at 1.72 with both cores permanently on

This really should not happen. The maximum frequency for a governor is set through /sys pseudo-fs and (assuming the governor is not buggy) strictly followed. Maybe you have some leftover scripts somewhere messing with /sys?

And this should -- like already pointed out -- only be the case under heavy load. Normally, a sensible governor will only set frequencies necessary to satisfy the current load.

[Q] Help with setting up kernel please.

I am having trouble regarding these: undervolt
maximum cpu frequency
maximum gpu frequency
cpu thermal throttling
So i downloaded kernel :Sultan-kernel-Pure-v1.7.0-Pyramid-Aroma.zip
6.5MB, which I think is the latest one. But i am not familiar with those because it is my frist time to flash my own rom and kernel. I've done everything right but can you help me set up the kernel? which is best? because there are numbers in it and i dont know what to choose. Also what is best setting for saving battery life? overclock, underclock, undervolt, cpu freq, gpu freq, thermal throttling., what are those
I also apologize for posting like 3 threads for this because im a newbie. I hope you consider. HELP me please.
