Hi guys,
Just out of interest, what's the fastest overclock you guys have done with the XT720?
Thanks

I'm currently running at 1.0 GHz. It's stable and smooth. No FC or any glitch yet.
Benchmarking get past Nexus One.

1GHZ seems fairly stable. I'm trying 1.2ghz but its not quite as stable. I have got 1.27ghz but after a few minutes it crashed

I'm running 1ghz. Anyone experience overheating?

not at 1GHz,
only when I clocked to 1.2 I noticed the phone getting warm while using extensively.
1.2 GHz on my mobile is stable. Till now, there's no crash, but I feels like it's not as smooth as running at 1GHz. And battery drains noticeably faster.

Does the latest SetCPU support the xt720? Or do I still need to use that milestone12 apk?

Just rooted my phone. What app do you use to overclock?

1 root ur phone
2 install milestoneoverclock 1.2 (simple google search)
3 get setcpu (optional)
i set my xt720 at 1ghz its very stable

I went to the site, got the code using my bar code scanner, the file was downloaded, but I can't start it up. Tried looking for where to place the file but did not find. Got any info bro? Really appreciate the help.
p.s. I've not loaded an other kernel apart from the one that the phone came with.

Thank you very much!
Overclocked very easily.
I'm using overclockwidget to define speeds. It's free and seems to work perfectly.
Now I'm at 800mhz and I've reactivated all animations

I tested custom Vsel (voltage) values with milestone overclock, and am glad to find that 1GHz is stable with 56 vsel. same as default for 550MHz. now, seems that my battery life improved significantly over previous setting 800mhz with 66vsel.

how do I custom the vsel?
btw, at what Fahrenheit or Celsius is considered over-limit?

press options (sensor button), settings, enter rate (e.g. 900MHz will be 900000) and max voltage(vsel, 56 seems stock value for 550MHz, but I have been running stable [email protected], [email protected], [email protected])
Then, save values, pull slider all way to the right, then click apply.
If you put too low value, phone will be unstable and reboot. I went from highest to low. i.e. started at [email protected] and then decreased vsel by 1 or 2, until phone became unstable. Then I went back up +1 and it has been running fast and energy efficient since then.

I do not know about highest possible temperature. At Vsel=56 phone does NOT get hot at all, this is stock voltage after all.

Thanks alot solnyshok ...
I'm now at ur settings 1ghz vsel56....
thank you so much...

you are welcome

Hmm default vsel on 800mhz for milestone no good ?

If you feed more, you'll drained quickly. So, while you can feed her with 54, why would you spend more and drain your pocket quickly?

I hope no one dare not to go for the highest possible temp. coz if u go over it, your processor will explode.
One thing i noticed is that, when the heat goes to 42C ... the frame of the battery icon on the status bar become Red color. then, you should know you've got to cool her down.

shoot!
I'm busted. i tried to set 1000000 @ 56 and forgot to un-check auto-load on start-up.
somehow, the setting is not working for my phone, and everytime it boots up. it's frozen ...
can anyone help me urgently?
------ update -------
I just found the solution myself.
take out the MicroSD card and put it into to the card-reader.
browse /android/data/pt.com.darksun.milestoneoverclock/files
you'll find a file name "autoload" (i thought it's a config file and tried to open it. but it's 0 Byte and there's nothing inside the file)
so i simply delete the file, put the SD card back into the phone and boot it up.
Wow!!! ... it's neat, the O/C is not loading.
then I go to the Options and put the vsel to 58. tested and working now.

high temperature

gentlemen,
I awakened from my sleep, because my phone has rung indicating that the temperature is high, you turn it off and remove the battery.
should know that the problem? someone else has happened?
regards

Was that a stock feature or a rom feature?

The overheat notice is built in. If you're overclocking, you may need to step it down a notch! Also, you might want to use something like watchdog to make sure you don't have an app hogging CPU while idle, because even overclocked, it shouldn't be using so much CPU while idle to trigger the overheat warning.
I've actually decided NOT to overclock because of that... I thought my phone was immune to overheat, as it benched /stress tested fine.. then I handed it to my girlfriend and she played Princess Punt for an hour, and ignored the overheat warnings till it crashed! Ooops.

I've never done an OC to my mobile.
the ROM installed is Weapon G2x 3.0_R1

i have the Antutu Cpu Master and i have it siad to bring the cpu speed down while chargeing and also if it get over 106 it bring the speed to 600MHZ

'll try With That, since the mobile was heated, when it was connected to the charger.
the cpu speed down while chargeing (As set? )

i use setcpu and a profile that underclocks my phone when the screen is off. i use the last cm7 nightly with newest trinity kernel, which gives me more control with the cpu clock

That only happened to me on super hot days while charging in my car.

Overclock eat much alot battery?

Dear all,
Is it a must that OC will consume much alot battery?
I am currently using Thiaiz V21a without OC, before tried the OC of Thiaiz and Accura V5 OC 1.18,, seems the battery drop much faster when OC..even it feel faster but not consistantly stable at all.
HOw about Accura V6.1 oc? Would it consume much alot battery?
You know the battery is not good at all so dont want to add burden to the battery by oc.
Thanks~

Oc'ed cpu eats more battery but not much coz we dont able to increase voltage yet, cpu runs at ref. Voltage.
Next point, the cpu runs on diffrent frequencies, matter of its using, a lot of time at 300 mhz.
Take more attention that custom roms has many tweaks to increase performance, so it's maybe battery killer.

seems like OC wont affect the battery time much.
i just tried acura V6 but have to give up at last because of reboots and inconsistantly fast (sometime fast. sometime lag)...
have to go back to ThiaiZ no oc which satisfy my need on ordinary usage without annoying and not too slow
anyway, all the development guys are great, without them we are still living with the suck official rom~

Can you teach me how to use for 27 hrs?
for me max. 6-8 hrs for normal usage with keeping screen on/off and 2.75G signal or wifi on.
If in sleep time it drop about 15% for 7 hrs. (2%/hr)

It deppends
It deppends of the over clock and how is it made.
I've got mine overclocked and i haven't noticed a big difference between the stock clock and the new one.
Got mine at: 1188mhz tekahuna occ module.
Regards

i use acura v6 o/cd to 1230 and have not faced much battery issue. Well maybe cuz i have a charger in my car, one cable plugged in my home pc, one charger near the main TV, one charger at my bedside and one cable plugged to my notebook in office LOL. Since the cable is standard one so i had all these extras from N900, and other old nokia.

Off course it will consume more battery, faster clock speed, means faster battery down.
But I think I found something. I freeze all the com.lge.xxx, saved 50% of my battery. Except the com.lge.hiddenmenu, don't freeze it!! U won't be able to open the settings menu.
U have to use paid titanium backup to be able to freeze apps.

[Q] ICS Inquisition - running 1500MHz constant (no scaling back) - risk? bug?

Is this a bug in the rom, or is it safe?
It's constantly running on the OC of 1500MHz.
Usually the cpu is meant to scale down when idle. Not the case here.
Thanks

Are you using setCPU, system tuner, or any user app to OC?

It's OC'd out of the box
I just downloaded and run CPU MASTER FREE and it shows constant 1500MHz reading.
I think I will have to depart from this ROM (even though it's very good). I am assuming it will kill the already week battery

Try another CPU controller like system tuner, setcpu or no frills. Its not the roms fault.

[Q] Underclocking

Hi Guys,
I've been using custom kernel/ROM for sometimes now, and I hear a lot about overclocking.
And I know that overclocking is "not so good" for the phone. Was wondering whether the same applies for under-clocking also.
Oh, and 1 more question is about decreasing just the "Minimum CPU frequency" to something like 245MHz. Will that be bad for the phone?

Our phone support overclocking to 729 max and min 320 if you underclock it your phone will be laggy and not responding . Those frequencies are the best for it and will not harm your phone.

ya i know underclocking will definitely reduce performance. What if I keep the Max freq as 600MHz and reduce the Min freq to 245MHz. I just want to know whether it will harm my phone or not.

I'm using oc since the first week I owned my phone and it's running fine.So, min freq:480(it use the same freq as lower clocks and reduces wakelocks) and max:600 or more

Actually the point of underclocking is to use a different frequency, 245 will use a lower frequency than 480. Also, frequency has absolutely nothing to do with wakelocks, 122 will have the same number of wakelocks as 806. You should set the minimum to whatever works for you, some people like 245, some people like 320, some people like 480. Underclocking can't damage the phone, so use whatever works for you.

Are you sure...?Take a look on what fserve posted in his kernel thread:" NOT underclock below 480MHz. At lower speeds, wakeups-from-idle per second are bigger than 480MHz and they share the same voltage, so thats leads to more battery drain. It's recomended to use: MIN 480 / MAX YOUR CHOICE more about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999064 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2&postcount=22"

I use setcpu to set the clock to 122 - 320 while the screen is off and the phone sleeps very well but sometimes it freezes when I wake it up so I had to change it to 245 - 320 and evertyhing is fine now.
