I have my minimum aand maximum CPU frequency set at 1728. Good or bad? What is your set at?

Hi,
Does that mean it's running at 1.7 ghz even when it's asleep?
I would think that was like driving your car with the gas on full,even when it's parked up.
What do you think it will ultimately do to your phone?
Yeah I think that's what it means. Lol idk. But I don't know what it might do like you said it might be like driving your car fast non stop that might harm my phone I don't really know.

Hi,
Why don't you set the minimum to 386 and the maximum to 1.7.
That way, at least, it won't be permanently on.
See how it goes for a few days.
Not all phones will run at that speed.
If it becomes unstable,put it back to 1.5
Bad if you want long battery life, good if you want fast performance each time you use the phone.

It's massive overkill.
You won't need that kind of CPU power except for a few things. An on demand governor will give you that power when you need it and save it when you don't.

My friend tells me that on demand is the best setting for setCPU, but I keep reading that smart ass 2 is the best.
What do you guys suggest?
I am using cm7 stable with the Tiamat Kernel.

I use ONDEMAND for wake and SMARTASS for sleep. Works for me,
Thank you! Anyone else care to comment?

I use smartass for wake and powersave for screen off.

LOL two completely opposite opinions.

I use conservative and I see no difference from On Demand except when my phone wakes from the screen being off for a good while.
Edit: It's probably because I use powersave while it's off, so it'd probably be a bit better if I changed the governor while the screen with off, but it's fine for me.

I just use on demand but I'm not overclocking or underclocking. I'm just using it as a battery saver, with profiles set up for different things. Gained me an extra 6 hrs almost of battery so I'm pretty content with it.

On demand isn't even an option. I just went with smart ass until someone tells me something different.
Shoot I thought I was supposed to use smart ass 2. I didn't see that option either.

You want to use smartass. Its another version of interactive. Smartass will auto underclock to 245mhz with screen off as well.

Ondemand is good for performance but it won't help your battery life like smartass will.

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.

you only under clock for battery right? i assume you over clock at home right? or is it bad to change it often? i wish there app that change cpu depending on location. is this possible?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Your CPU speed actually changes on its own rather often based on the load that it's taking on. For example, if your phone is just idling, the load on the CPU is close to nothing, so it's going to clock itself down to lower frequencies to save not only battery life, but itself from wearing out. Now say you're playing a game or watching a movie or something, it's going to do what it can to clock itself up to speeds to process whatever it's doing the best it can. Unless you have a STRICT clocking profile set up (say, min 1728, max 1728, performance), your clock is going to go up and down quite often. Download CPU Spy from the market and you'll see pretty well what I'm talking about.
Hope I was able to help!

I could not really see a situation where that would be ultimately useful, but yes download CPU Spy as the poser above me said and have a look at after a day's data gathering.
you should only have one cpu over clocking right.

correct only one. Personally I use fauxclock with faux's kernal

I know that if you OC/UV incorrectly, it can cause stability issues. But I was wondering does it cause any damage to the phones hardware like battery, etc? And like how can you tell when SETCPU is causing problems?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well if you OC to high numbers your just stressing the cpu more.Knowing when you have issues is simple getting random reboots,phone getting too hot etcc.
It differs for every phone but undervolting -25 for each voltages works well.
Personally I really don't see the point overclocking to high levels like 1.4 ghz etc,Is up to individual I guess.

Yeah I have been wondering what's the point of OC to 1.4? Does it make that big of a difference in the 4g speed? And cpu speed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Honestly, there really is no point other than for benchmarks. I, like mt3g, actually underclock the phone to something like 750-760mhz; it runs beautifully smooth.
Other than that, if you game a lot and want to maximize FPS, then overclocking would do that for you.
Doesn't have anything to do with 4g speed afaik. That's entirely reception.
Yeah 4g is about reception and tmobile simply.
I mean I had single core devices like MT4g ,SGS 4g for the most part on a day to day basis transitions to transitions theres not much diffirence in terms of speed. Now for FPS and a few other games you need that dual core.Point is there"s no need to OC a dual core phone!
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I have had mine OC'd to 1.1 ghz with some undervolts. It is very stable , 10-12 hr battery with medium to heavy use , and ofcourse fast. Took a while to find the best settings.
When I have SetCPU set to 1015 megahertz, that's the same as stock voltage, isn't it?

setcpu phone overclocking
Changes you might see are battery life but not that much unless you so how mess with voltage. Like other have said you know it effecting stability when its overheating, shutting down randomly, exiting program randomly.
I have both nstools and setcpu running on my phone. Do I need both? I changed the Max to 1200 on nstools and set cpu changed to 1200. Should I just keep one or do they work off each other.
Thanks in advance

One of them is enough...i prefere NS-Tools because ther you can set a lot whit it..but it´s your decision..
the fact is only one is needed...
thanks. i just love the widget that gives me battery temps. but i guess i can do without it. If the back of my hand starts burning, i should probably stop what im doing.
