[Q] overclock 1.5ghz...yes or not? - HTC Sensation

hi, I'm running android revolution, the rom works fine...during the flash 4ext ask me what kernel I want, if stock or 1.5ghz...
what do you think about? battery? cpu damage?
all softwares run very well, I don't think is necessary to set cpu at 1.5....but have more power is better XD
suggestions? can I use any software to set the cpu clock?

I'm using vi4.0 at 1.512ghz. I'm actually impressed with the 13-15 hours of text/call/video/music mid to high usage.

but is better? more...reactive, speed?

I think 1.2Ghz is sufficient for a Sensation !
All games don't lag on 1.2Ghz..

I am also using ARHD 6.3 and overclocked to 1.83ghz. I did not notice a difference in battery life. But my phone is noticeably very fast! I am using "setcpu" apk.

You will notice a difference in speed and responsiveness! You can always try and if you don't think that it is worth the slightly reduced battery life you can always revert to stock! ( i'm running IC 5.11 on 1.5 GHz and i get 1.5 day with moderate to heavy usage ). Don't worry it is safe as the CPU of the sensation is meant to run at 1.5 GHz ( like the sensation XE )!

ok, I did it, works fine, very very responsive....that's good!....
but!....I want smartassv2!....smartass at least!...
here there are only default governors!
are there kernels compatible with android revolution?
and is not clear, setcpu works with dual core CPUs?

The source code for the 3.0 kernel isn't released yet, so all that can be done are hex edits. Because of this, only the default governors are availible.

The overclocked kernels are compatible with every ICS ROM.

SetCPU is compatible with dual core CPUs, however it turns core 2 permanently on. You can use System Tuner if you don't want this.

thanks a lot, any link or suggest for a good kernel?

SebasianFM is the only one who edits kernels for ICS so far.

I am currently on Sebastian's kernel clocked at 1612MHz and everything is just fine.. feel free to flash

I use his 1.78GHz kernel and its very fast, stable, and also has decent battery life.

I'd be EXTREMELY careful running your CPU at that speed. 1.5 has been considered "safe" by most people, but anything over that and you're tempting fate. Sure, it's cool to see your phone running at 1.8 or 1.9ghz, but your CPU is going to be forced waaaay out of its specifications and it's possible to damage it beyond repair. This is especially true if you are over-volting. Heat + Voltage = CPU Killers. However, even if you aren't over-volting, it could still draw more power than it was designed to do, thereby increasing heat, overstressing CPU and power supply...
So yeah, be careful.
Thanks man i just OC to this point to se what this phone can do i think this is the first and last High Quadrant can reach becauce later on the day i try to repeat the same benchmark and no reach the 3400 points. I think the CPU was enought stressed and now cant handle 1.9 Ghz. freq. but is cool. Right Now im running with LordMod 4 CFS clocked at 1.3 Ghz and works greathe. this give me 2700 +/- Quadrants and its enought power to make all kind of task and apps running a breeze.
Running any LorDMod kernel results in no wifi for me. I'm being lazy with manually pushing the .ko file though, so I dunno.
WiFi works fine here. Im. Use cyanogen mode 7 with lordmod 4.0

You'll need a combination of a custom KERNEL (that supports O/C) and a custom ROM (some come with an O/C daemon built in)
time for some reading.
Ok, so one more question just in case. May I use any ROM with any kernel or I have to match ROM to kernel (or opposite)?
Generally I would say custom roms come with the most suitable kernel.
The easiest way to overclock is to simply download an app from the market that will o/c your cpu.

Although I'd also as that unless you'r e intending on playing games then the desire s should be fast enough without over clocking as ultimately that will reduce battery life.even the sense 3 rooms when configured and optimised correctly don't lag at normal operating speeds
Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium
You're still on stock ROM right?
If so, install this kernel from recovery and SetCPU once done. OC away.

Yes, it would go a little faster
Seriously tho, it might run a little hotter, for a shorter length of time, and be slightly less stable - all depending on how much you overclock it, what settings you use, etc.
Try downloading an app from the market that will overclock your cpu and see what happens.
Sent from my HTC Desire S
And NEVER max the oc setting. Some kernels allow up to 1.7ghz but your phone would be fried in a week and be incredibly unstable. Can't recommend going past 1.2ghz if you want your phone to last til your next upgrade date. For the most part though, oc is unnecessary on this phone.

I just read somewhere in other forum, if I overclock my phone, I will have problem on my phone.
Maybe because of the cpu overheat or what?
Basically, yes.
Why not use the phone as it is, and see how you like it? If you do decide to overclock, do it in small increments. Honestly, I find it fast enough at normal speeds, playing games, browsing, etc.

+1 to you. 1Ghz already fast enough. No lagging at all like some other phone.

I was quite interested in this overclocking buisness. I overcloked my phne to 1.7ghz, used it for a while and it froze twice, requiring a reboot.
There was definitely a speed incresas, but 1ghz on lbc mod is already plenty smooth!
Now I've set up setcpu profiles to have myphone only overclocked at 1.2ghz when its chargingand I'm using it. But also a profile to limit the temp at 41degrees to 825-245mhz.
But when its unplugged, u have left it on default at 1024-245mhz on demand. Great battery life compromised with great speed.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Maybe you'll need a voltage bump at 1.7GHz. But even if it's stable, it will definitely be hotter. Not good for long term.
1.1-1.2GHz should be stable for daily use.

I am currently using a ROM by Mike1986 and kernel witch took my phone to 1.566Ghz and i am loving it.
However, i am a big OC freak and i would like some pointers on any tested kernels above 1.566Ghz, preferably that work well with Mike1986's ROM as i find them to be most stable our of all i have tried (i have tried 3 different types).
Any input is highly appreciated and welcome. Thanks team.

I honestly don't see the benefits except lower battery life and a warmer device, I doubt you'll notice the speed difference past like 1GHz. All of the higher freqs seem pretty much the same and aren't really worth the bother with, use a governor that accesses higher freqs quicker and you won't be needing high freqs.

What governor would you suggest??? also, i know that when using you phone and maybe even playing games i wouldn't see much of a difference between the stock 1.2 Ghz vs 1.5 or 1.9Ghz but it's all about the bragging rights, lol. I like to go to my geeky friends and slappin’ a higher clock frequency than they have on their poor devices or silly I Phones. Also I have to tell you from my tests I do see Mike1986’s latest 3.6.7/4.1.7 Rom using much less battery life than stock Rom. I have noticed about a 10% improvement, maybe even more.
Also i do see a big improvement in Benchmarks. When i was using stock 1.2Ghz setting i was benchmarking much lower than the 1,5Ghz i am at now.
Thanks again for the input.
The benefit of custom ROMS and kernels, is that they are optimized to run well. Unless the chef sucks, most big name ROMS are optimized and more efficient.
I was running 1.2ghz for a while and whenever I'm playing Snes roms it would FC. After bumping it up to 1.72ghz it never did it again. Although 1.72ghz may be overkill for what I use my phone for but everything seems to be running extremely smooth.

I use conservative(810/192), super charger v6, ultra smooth rosie on 4.1.6. I haven't used benches, but they'll be low on this ROM since I'm assuming it's based on the Sense 3.5 leak for sensation.

[Q] Overclocking, speeds, profiles, methods

As some of you might know, the HTC Desire S overclocks very well.
I've done alot of research, and I've found no difference between the MSM8255 chipset our Desire S runs on, and the higher clocked MSM8255T (which runs at 1.4-1.5GHz).
I've created this topic to gather some information on what method you use to over/underclock (built-in, custom, app etc), how high you've clocked your device, what governor you're using, and what temperature you're at.
Right now my Desire S runs at 1.4GHz, incredibly stable, ive stress tested for hours (so far) without any errors, maxing at bout 36,5c temp.
My current method is SetCPU, using 245-1401 interactive scaling.
Please post your findings / preferences / device settings.
I never overclocked my Desire S. Ok sometimes he can be slow, but I don't like overclocking a CPU of a smartphone... Maybe it's because I'm scared to blow him up or something, dunno. I just leave it like it was, in my eyes, the best thing you can do
I'm using OC/UV Beater2 which came in Endymion ROM. My DS is overclocked to 1,2 Ghz and it is very stable, never freezes
But I have a question, what is default undervolt settings? Because I think when I set for example -25 undervolt settings, that will come default setting after a while..
So I dont know what is default voltage... So if someone could tell what is though 122Mhz voltage, I would be happy!
1ghz ondemand. Sometimes 245/768mhz and in games 1.2ghz

Yeah, I've done some research too, and cannot find any differences about the 8255T vs 8255.
Ours are highly capable of going to 1.8Ghz stable.

Same CPU 'issue' with the Arc and Arc S ->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396071
That pretty much sums it up, why the Desire S (some - mine?) overclocks so well..
Same thing they do with desktop CPUs.
Like my old C2D E6600 2.4GHz OCs to 3.4GHz without adding volts and running only on air cooling, 48c after 10-12hrs of stress testing with SLI nvidia cards in the case.
All in all, the MSM8255 and MSM8255T could easily be the exact same chipset/CPU, just at different speeds, some tested more extensively than others.
Has anyone tried running speeds above 1.5GHz+ successfully? 1.5GHz should also be doable, as the HTC Flyer has the MSM8255T and runs at 1.5GHz.

My CPU clock is as in my siggy. I don't undervolt though.
I have overclocked my phone to 1.5GHz almost all time and I do not see any problem, it's very fast and snappy. I use Sense roms, CM7 and ICS without freezes or something like that. Battery life is nice for me, 1 or 2 days of use.

Hi there,
Yes I use setcpu. Tiamat kernel is Undervolted by default which is good.
I'm my experience, I'm getting much better battery life with Tiamat kernel.
Are you on the nightly build or the stable version? I heard a few issues with tiamat on nightly builds, but not too sure!
Also a small note; undervolting doesn't help massively with battery life... the battery gain is minimal. On sense based ROMs, I UV by about 125V and it doesn't make a HUGE difference.
I think tiamat has really good battery llife as it has been exclusively optimised for our 8255 CPU by the brialliant Devs
Hope this has been some help to you!

Reason i'm asking: on lowveld's hyperions i got 8-9mA consumption while idle, on CM i'm always at 10-15. The min freq on both is 245mHz, which was suggested as lowest stable so the next difference i thought could be the undervolting... From battery stats i see that phone was not awake...

Hmmm... I guess you could just wait for CM 7.2, I think its coming very soon with the bug fixes, so I guess you could go back to stable from there, and use Tiamat.
My lowest CPU clockspeed is 184Mhz on CM (122Mhz on Endymion)
Its very stable for me. No freezes, etc
I use smartass2, so it will throttle up the speed in sleep if 184mhz is too low. When it has many tasks to load etc.
Not to sure how to Manually UV with CM, (as OC beater doesn't work - FC on me)
But on Endymion, OC beater app does the job.

My Sensation runs hot with GPS on too, I think its just in the nature of the device really. You could try undervolting and see if that helps. Maybe using an Anker battery would help your phone to run a bit cooler also.

I generally get the best temperature on HyperNonSense as it is a lightweight ROM with most unneeded parts removed. Try using Bricked Kernel and using something like Kernel Tuner you can globally lower the voltage by a set amount. In my experience with HNS and Bricked I could get about a -75mv undervolt and still be stable, but everyone's device is different.
