OC Max!

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

When we get source for GB or ics then I can write scripts to tweak the voltages higher for a higher oc, I have been waiting for that lol

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

He just said it...the battery consumption is much better. I don't run any apps/games which need the higher clock rates. So I also underclocked to 1.1 Ghz and I'm very happy with it.

Yes I saw this kernel! This is awesome! But my phone will fry i think

so going from 1.2 down to 1.1 improved battery life?? By how long?

A lot but I have set cpu and can jump to 1.7 easy
You tell me as of now what app needs more then 1.1 1.2 ??? Once phone boots up the phone don't need more then that

Device gets very hot

Hey guys, I have sensation XE and the device often gets very hot. Right now I'm using ViperS rom and bricked kernel, but that's happened with many different roms and kernels.
It's usually happens when I'm playing 3D games and it's very annoying to play games like subway surfers or temple run because after playing a while the device gets hot and the game become laggy.
Anyway to solve it?
My settings are: bricked kernel, ondemand governor, min freq 190 max freq 1500. No UV or anything.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app

Not sure if there is a solution for this. I also experience this when playing games. Although lately it hasn't been as hot on the Rom I'm running now.. wish I knew of a solution but I don't. I think this happens with all sensations.

I wouldn't mind if it wasn't causing lags while playing games.

It could be a hardware issue or a ROM issue or a kernel issue.
It's always going to get warm when playing a gam ethat's heavy on the system resources like that. But it shouldn't get 'hot'.
Are you over clocking the CPU? If so, that'll do it. Try scalign the CPU down a bit to like 1.2 and see if that gives an improvement. It might also cause decreased gaming performance, but it would help diagnose the cause of the heat buildup.
You can calso try alternate kernels (I'm not amiliar enough with Viper to suggest one) to see if they process the GPU more efficiently.

I don't think that's a ROM or kernel issue, because it happened with several different roms and kernels.
I tried to underclock to 1400mhz but it didn't made a real difference.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app

1400 isn't such a big difference, I keep mine at 1Ghz and it's still smooth, and moderately warm. You could also see it as a good thing, at least the heat doesn't stay trapped inside the device, which would be deadly for it.

The solution is Undervolting or Underclocking or both.
The device became laggy because of thermald, which limits the max freq to a lower value if the cpu temp is more than a value.

I try all kernel the only way to keep cool our phone is to use nitrogen. The best for now is Sebastian FM KERNEL

[Q] Overclocking(Different question)..

Hey guys.. So I've seen 2 kernels that claim overclock.. One is for 800MHz, and the other is for 1.3GHz(or something)...
But some people have been reffering to these as fake..
So, my question is :
1) How were these achieved(if real)??
2) How were these faked(if not real)??
Is it something like editing a 'build.prop' file to show a different version of android??
I've found some references relating to overclocking in the ICS/JB 2.xx kernel source..
So I'd like to know how the 2 already available overclocks were done/faked... :good:

take a look at this , you have to add oc clock frequencies and enable oc ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26929519&postcount=24
1.3Ghz...seriously...yeah i saw it in youtube too but if its real then he will have to buy a new phone as his cpu will be a barbecue toast soon.
besides the life of cpu also depends on binning , fabrication etc..so few cpu's can handle OC but few cannot

Yeah sure man over clocking is possible with kernel modification but there is only considerable change in our phone performance but some people made a video on YouTube like playing high HD games in their phone after over clocking but these games are running under normal CPU speed itself those videos alone fake.
Really they archived not a fake one..
But over clocking surely spoil our device because the heat sink system designed for working under that temperature only ,
over heating will spoil our devices soon.

Overclock is not recommended but UnderClock will increase Ur batter life man under on deman CPU governance. Set ur CPU minimum overclock to as possible as low..

Setting the max speed to 480 will reduce Ur phones performance.Setting minimum speed at 122Hz will make u phone to run at 122Hz when ever u are not in need of that much CPU processing but i will automatically adjust the speed as Ur process need..

Best overclock value

Hello,everyone....recently I overclock my desire s and thanks to many of you I received many useful information so I want to share impression how overclocking has improved performance and battery to help other like us to know what and how to use overclocking and governor....
So I start ....
I use Viper saga with tweaked kernel 3.x/ondemand with deadline/cpu min.245-max.1410
I noticed that my graphic is very good and everything works like a charm....for example in FIFA12 I noticed that even the shadow of all player are so intense and everything is so clear,it seems that improves my graphic and my phone is faster..I hope that overclocking to 1410 to not damaged my phone.So what configuration do you have ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Set the governor to performance. Battery eater though. But u only can choose better battery life or smoother graphics, so make up ur mind and choose one :thumbup:
When playing with overclocking unstick 'set on boot'. So that it goes back to normal once reboot in case of any freeze. Overclock it based on ur desired value, experiment with it, slowly. increase the value step by step. Leave it for a day then increase again. If it freezes then u know ur phone's limit.

i have read that people say it's stable up to 1.5 GHz.
I have set mine to 1.3GHz to be on the safe side.
And set it to,on demand,so it only takes up more when it needs to.
setting it up to high speeds can result in a melt down,draining batteries and will shorten out the life of your phone even when stable for a couple of days so be aware of what your doing...

there is no best value for everyone, some say 1ghz is enough, some say 1.5 ghz is not enough.
so it depends on what you need, its a trial and error thing
u will get a fast response phone but battery life is sucs ... cant complain though

If you want separate screen on/screen off profiles, I would recommend daemon controller app (with andrev_oc installed through the app).
If you want more profiles for different situations, setcpu is probably the only real option.
Setting to 1.3 GHz depends on the kernel you're using, not on the app.
