Could you previously overclock to 1836 without problems? I only ask as that clock for me way back was too much.Wondered if he had cracked the "only for some devices"
I was made aware that it is not 2.2ghz and is actually 1.78ghz with false identification on actual speed, trip has been made aware of this whether he did it intentially or by accident.

so what exactly does this do for the performance of your phone? Is it just apps opening up faster and games a little better?
I understand the performance gains in cpu overclocking for computers in that you get faster encoding for videos, maybe a few more fps in gaming etc but how noticeable is doing an overclock for your phone?
Is it more of a just because you can or is there a real benefit to the user that they can notice?
A 30% overclock on your PC might give you 10-15% better performance but does that equate to similar improvements with a moving to 1.5 or 1.78ghz on your phone?

why stop at 5? carry a bottle of Liquid Nitrogen with you and the sky is the limit !!
Even IF it isn't 2.2 (which surprises me) it is INCREDIBLY snappy and faster than when I was running sebastianFM's 1.728 or whatever and benchmarks are pretty damn high

Eh, not amazed but it's decent I guess... Coming from the Glacier we have a kernel capable of 2.1GHz but I never go above 1.4 anyway. Clock speed isn't everything.

It's a balance there is only so much you can get out of the CPU in anything once it passes the threshold you get less from it more heat less life we are at 1.2 default I would say after 2.0 we won't get much more but a dead battery is 3 hrs I got mine at 1.1 I am good with battery vs power consumption

hey guys i just need a little bit help here.
im new to the sensation
and i am running Bulletproof 2.2.1
and its very slow, and i even get a ****ty score on quadrant
and i see there are several kernals out there and i wanted to know witch ones are compatible with sense 3.5 bulletproof
and witch one is the best one. by best i mean faster overclocked
thanks in advance
You can try Faux or Bricked, both are great.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Faux 0.2.3 is out soon with a whole host of new features, I've found that I can't get Faux 1.89Ghz version to work (boot loops) but it may work for you. Due to this I use Bricked kernel and then I can overclock (if I want to) up to 1.72Ghz which seems to be the max for my chip!
Here's a really good kernel 2.6.35.14-Bricked-v 1.2-gpuoc 320-ondmnd [email protected] #6 this is what I use and It's awesome so far I've been useing this kernel for three days and It's lighting fast
I'm on BP also and while quadrant is low with stock, I've found stock kernel to be smooth and stable. Today I did flash bricked 1.4, and while my CF scores and quadrant went up significanty, I had lag on homescreens and games like asphalt 6 hd. I have no idea what the problem was. It could have been my Rom, or the way I flashed bricked kernel because I have read so many positives with using bricked.
I went back to stock kernel and all is smooth again, but with low benchmarking scores....
So I guess I'm saying take benchmark scores with a grain of salt. Although it would be nice to have my cake and it too.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
whats you quadrant score? i flashed that kernal but i had problems with 3D and he said he fixed it on the latest version 1.4. and when i used setcpu my phone kept rebooting
I don't remember my quadrant score, but CF bench score was really high with bricked 1.4, above GS2.
Now back to stock kernel my CF bench is back to around 5000. Just under the atrix scores.
(But with stock I have no issues with with gameloft games, no lag in asphalt 6 hd.)
I will probably try again in the near future as it could have been user error on my part.

Do the current kernels all have these problems? I would like to know this before I get this phone. And I noticed someone OC'd to 1.8GHz, is this to fix lag or just for fun? Such OC would lead me to question the Sensation's speed quite a bit. Sorry for hijacking the thread, didn't want to make a new one.

I am running CM7 SelfKang9, with Faux's AOSP 0.2 Kenrnel (1.78ghz OC) and undervolt (Thermal Patch). Everything is smooth as butter and battery life is beyond excellent (getting avg 6mA idle). If you're interested in benchmarks, I have gotten as high as a 6499 AnTuTu score, and a 7424 in CF bench. It does run fine at its rated speed of 1.5ghz, I'm just always gunning for that extra speed.
Edit: For Comparison, my friend has an Atrix, using CM 7.1 and Faux with a 1.3 ghz OC, and he was getting slightly slower benches (6000 AnTuTu). Although both phones run great.
I'm using pyramid3d 8.0.1 along with the bricked 1.2 kernel.
Runs perfect. No lags, and no other problems, although quadrant scores are really low. Quadrant really means nothing IMO.

Sense has a nice bug from HTC that affects Quad & other benches negatively, this can be fixed by using AOSP/CM/MIUI, I noticed this on my previous phones. I think HTC has some lingering debugging enabled in Sense.

Thanks for clearing things up for me, I was worried that the phone had speed issues and the OC was to fix that, now I'm not worried with that anymore. Hopefully I order mines next week, but I plan on undervolting & underclocking, just as I did on my MT4G. Although you benches have restored my confidence in the phone.
Hi Guys I have a Galaxy S 4G I have noticed that max stable overlclock is 1.508Ghz If I bump up to 1.516Ghz It is stable but at watching videos for a long time it crashes, I have noticed that the normal max temp is below 60 C or 55 C, that's stress testing for long time, normal everyday is 41~43 or, I Think It can go higher but I t would need 1500mV or 1600mV core Voltage also to achieve 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8 even 2.0Ghz It takes 1600mV or 1800mV, temps would be 45~47 normal, and above 60~65 on stress testing. But tegrak doesn't support these volatges, It would need to tweak the code. With proper cooling temps can go down to 33 or 30, lets say using the phone in a cool room.
Do you know when are they gonna support higher core voltages(Tegrak OC)?
Do you really need to oc that high?

At 1.5 is goood but for proper PC like performance it would be a bit higher.
2.0ghz would beat samsung sgs2
I know anything higher than 2.0Ghz the phone would suffer, I don't know if the main board can support 2.5Ghz or 3.0Ghz. The battery doesn't handle that much power not even 3500mah battery
Mine runs stable and quite cool @ 1.62 and I get 4128 quad score, but I have no need to oc the phone with all the tweaks.

Thanks I'm gonna try out your setup, but that's the highest it can go?
I get a max of 2300+ because I have no tweaks and I am at Stock 2.3.5 UVUKJ3
I really don't see the need for oc other than for playing a REALLY graphical intensive game. For me, I get a better performance boost from the tweaks incorporated into roms than oc. I tried running a 1.5 for a week and I honestly didn't even notice a difference other than less battery life.

Well I notice a difference but anything above 2.0 GHz it is nearly impposible, even if it is gotten above that it would not match new dual and quad Core CPU because they have a different architecture but the battery is the first thing that you notice but the things that I do on the phone require much more processing power than stock. Well the highest is 1.6ish that I think the phone has been able to handle. But definitely overclocking the phone will get you up to speed work new games coming out

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.

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!

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.

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.
Hi, going on a trip soon and need a ROM with good battery effiency. I'm now running InsertCoin Evolution 1.91 and the battery drains pretty quickly so I'm wondering: what's the best ROM regarding battery life time? Sensation XE btw.

What kernel do you use?
Try bricked with badass belance, no GPU OC, if you want better battery life underclock to 1GHz it doesnt lag and got pretty decent battery life with it. Dont change screen off freq.
And i recommend you to undervolt, -50v is good, i use about -75 now and its pretty stable.
I used to get more than 20h with 1.56GHz max.
Edit: i use stock z710e battery which is 1520mAh

Well, it technically does, because less voltage means less current, both of those mean less power. (Literally, Current * Voltage = Power, fun fact). However, the increase in battery life is marginal at best, so it doesn't actually benefit.
Power ~ V^2 * f. Voltage has more effect than frequency, both have some effect.
Forget power equations, battery's are capacitors so lets use capacitor equations!
Rate of discharge is proportional to Q/R.
I=V/R so 1/R=I/V
Therefore rate of discharge is proportional to I/V. Ohms law states as one goes up so does the other.
So technically undervolting has no effect?!

Think about that for a minute, if that were the case, why do you think modern processors use lower and lower driving voltages? Your logic is flawed.
"Dynamic frequency scaling by itself is rarely worthwhile as a way to conserve switching power. Saving the most power requires dynamic voltage scaling too, because of the V2 component and the fact that modern CPUs are strongly optimized for low power idle states."

I've been using paranoidandroid, and some opensensation versions before that, which all suffered from batterydrain. From what i've read that should be fixed now. What i've read is that in theory aosp could be more batteryefficient.
In addition, for aosp, there now is faux, tamcore, and showp's bricked, kernels available.
I used to use virtuous inquisition, its senseless and really great on battery! I think it's been the best battery efficient Rom by far in my opinion. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that. I was thinking the exact same thing. If everything is proportional, and it is, then decreasing one variable (voltage) should decrease everything else.
