Anyone notice in the quick system info the processor says armv7 processor 662mhz. I assume that's just an error and its really 1ghz right?
I believe the phone has something similar to Intel's Speedstep. At idle the processor speed drops way down and it only increases as far as necessary so as to save power.
The CPU is automatically scaled as demand/load increases. 1ghz is the max when under heavier load, so it's to be expected that it would be running at 662mhz when you bring up system info. Don't worry... that's normal.
well i refreshed it like 20 times, I even see it hit 162mhz
how about free memory? I had a ton of apps open it said 20mb free is that normal?
BogoMIPS is NOT the same as MHz on the Nexus!
Multiply that 662 by 1.507!
ohh ok lol

Hi. The X1 come with the QUALCOMM 7200 A CPU normally @528 Mhz. But i read somewhere that the X1 is underclocked @400 mhz for power save. Its ok if it return @528 mhz when we watch movie or listen music... But can we know if he really do that?
Tks.

overclockin this processor is the the PRIMARY thing i wanna do to this phone....ANY way of doin that i'll try...
he is speaking about Underclocking not overclocking ... and why you wanna Overclock ... 528 is enough...!!!
No , i want to verify if the CPU is at 528 mhz or not.
I've see on another thread (the X1 performance thread) that the CPU is auto underclocked for save power...

well in that case.....i wouldnt mind havin it runnin at full
i heared about it somewere, i don't know if it's true or not, but even though, the device is generating much heat already when using wifi/gps while charging, maybe this will make it worse
my cpu monitor plugin on my today screen has never budged from 400mhz.
The plugin also has a temp reading and my xperia runs around 108F with the wifi running were it idles around 84F, 91F watching a properly converted movie (500kbps and 30fps for me) or music, and 95F when watching a movie that makes the Xperia work.

That sounds like a very handy plugin. Could you provide a link or attach it please?
I find that the back plate gets quite warm when it's on charge in the car holder and running TomTom. If I could measure how warm it's getting then I might feel okay about it.
sounds interesting aswell, the plugin.
"

oO that's crap. Its a 528 mhz cpu and we can't have a real 528 mhz? 400 is less than the iphone...
Same here. My today plug-in says 400mhz and usually the temp is between 30 and 39 degrees (celsius).
The name of the app is "wk task". It's extremely handy with tons of options. It has system tray launching options. Shows cp speed and temp, ram etc.
P.S. Did i mention you can launch programs from the system tray??? Hehe
we have a "hot" phone lol
hot in price design and temp!
Yep. But why the X1 don't run at the normal 528 mhz frequency?
It run @400 . I think we can boost him @528mhz. @400 it's slower than the iphone . In idle use ok , for save the battery , but when we watch a movie , or surf with opera 528 mhz is better...
then go this web page, www.xda-hackers.com lol
I tried using Teksoft Speedbooster to make certain apps "high priority". First one was morphgear, thinking it might bring up the fps. I cant notice any diff :-/
So I would also like to overclock the cpu (if its possible)...itje's touch-it v4 beta 6 uses even less ram than before...fantastic rom...but yet morphgear is still not running perfectly.
I will try with core player and maybe opera
Try this
Please try to connect your X1 to power supply and check CPU speed. For my previous device connected power supply caused CPU works at maximum speed.

We don't need to overclock the CPU . It will be good if the CPU run at his normal speed also @528mhz and not 400 (under the frequency of the iphone)!!!.
Also , a overclock on this type of CPU may cause overheating issues. Only 528 mhz will be a great advance on performance.
I think that the X1's CPU is underclocked @400mhz... It's bad
Yeah, thats what I meant foxvengeor, but didnt make it very clear
I would also like to bring my x1 to the proper cpu speed, rather than what it is currently. Like somebody else said, I would take a hit on the battery standby time over performance (unless it ruins either my battery of my phone).
Wow seriously? I had never heard it was underclocked.. It is advertised as 528mhz isnt it?! I mean the battery life is great as is, but I would like to see how it does at 528.. The device info control panel does say 528 though.

I dunno if I'm a bit slow or something but I just installed wk task and after aunching the taskbar from it, and looking through the settings for about half an hour, I couldn't for the life of my find anyhting to do with temperatures and/or ram/cpu or anything related.
It seems to do nothing more than work as a task manager/task bar/launcher.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to understand how and how much thermal throttling influences my LG G2 performance while using games; to achieve this I need some app that can show me, in real time, osd on-screen-display while I'm playing, the usage of the 4 cores of the snapdragon800. I'm more interested in their frequencies than in load percentage.
I tried to search on the web, but I didn't find what I'm looking for, but, I saw a video (this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6Z6_nx1bUU ) in which there is exactly the app I'm searching for (the one on top left "multicore usage" ... I don't know if other boxes are from the same app).
Someone knows this app's name? or can recommend me an app with the same features?
Hey!
While I don't have the knowledge of an app that does exactly what you want, I've read countless times that the SD800 starts at max load and then throttles down as the CPU gets hotter. It would be interesting to see exactly HOW much it uses.
What I've done, though, is to start playing Asphalt 8 and having a CPU monitor from Android System Tuner on my home screen. I'd then play a bit, then quickly go home and open the CPU monitor. First 5 minutes it was at 2.26Ghz, then it throttled down to 1.95 Ghz and finally after about 10 minutes it throttled down to 1.72Ghz.
Now these times arent quite precise bit it should give you and idea of what to expect. I'm more than interested in hearing what kind of results you get, so go for it!

I'm doing a similiar thing with Trickster mod to see how much time is spent on every single frequency... but it's very difficult to understand something in this way. The only thing I can say is that my snapdragon800 throttles like hell....
In 30 minutes playing:
only few seconds at 2265, 1958 and 1728 MHz (the same for 960 and 1190 MHz... I think this 2 frequencies are unused in playing)
2 minutes maximum for 1574 and 1497 MHz
Most of the playing time is at 1036 MHz and 1267 MHz....
But, generally I can't say at what frequency Thermal throttling is influencing smoothness.... this is why I need some app like computer programs such as atitraytool or msi afterburner... this is the only way to understand precisely.
However, I discovered that the benchmark used in the video of the first post, is a "Qualcomm" tech demo with built-in osd... but I'm unable to find and download it

What PVS bin is your SD800? You can check that in the hidden menu.
Keep in mind that there's another factor to determine the smoothness which you shouldn't forget - The frequency of the GPU. It might be interesting to monitor that too.
Hey for now you can try cool tool from play store which won't give multi core stats but it does display the constant change in frequency

Well PVS is basically how "good" your chip is. It is a scale from 0-6 where 6 is the best and describes how many volts your chip needs to achieve maximum frequency.
You can check it by entering (on a D802)
3845#*802#
Then go into "Settings" AND "Version Info" - scroll down and see.
Naturally, the lower your PVS bin is, the more heat your phone will produce since it needs a higher voltage to acquire same frequency. This also means more throttling.

It's 4
I think it's quite good (infact I have -50mv, that is 2 steps less with trickstermod, on every frequency)
However, I found "PerfMon" here in xda... that has a floating window that monitors every single core usage and frequency (just a pity it doesn't monitor temperature...)
Also I noticed that gpu stays at 320MHz max while it should be 450 (in trickstermod it's correct)
Performance "gpu" governor works (but kills battery staying always at 450 MHz)
Simple_OnDemand "gpu" governor gets phone into bootloop
cpu throttles at 75c first ti 1.9 ghz, as the phone heats up more it will drop to 1.7. Phone will shut of at 92c.
and yes i got to 92C turning off throttling on CM and running antutu, wouldn't advice it ^_^
Weird. I found my cpu being throttled down to 1.57 ghz @ 69 degrees. Mine is pvs bin2

So I usually use CPUSpy to monitor my CPU usage. This comes in handy once the device is rooted and I can see how custom kernels and settings affect battery life and cpu cycles. My LG G4 is the tmobile variant and obviously not currently rooted. I notice through CPUSpy that my cpu speed literally never exceeds 1440mhz.
I don't have any problems with that per say, everything on the device still runs buttery smooth without anything more than the occasional hiccup or lag. I'm curious if anyone else has monitored their CPU speeds and noticed the same thing? I just find it a little interesting.
CPU spy can't even see the A57 cores so there's no way it can see what speed it's running at.
4 cores are limited to 1.44 the rest are 1.8
I have not used CPUSpy. But CPU-Z will show you the speed of each of the 6 cores. As mentioned, the last 2 are the only ones I've seen reach 1.8GHz, the first 4 seem to top out at 1.4 GHz.
Ok.. Using cpu-z..
That's how mine looks "at rest". When it's sitting quietly, saving the battery. Crank up some apps, and you should see those clock speeds rise.
But, trying to improve my battery life, and keep the temps down, I've been hoping to see those numbers stay low, not actually show how high they can go
I agree.. As ive stated, the device runs great i just found it odd. It even calls it a 1.44ghz cpu in the cpu profile and mostly no matter how hard i push the device i cant break that speed
Right as CPU-Z opens, the clock speeds spiked briefly. I was able to get a screenshot quickly.
Do yours also jump up for a second or two right as the app opens?
This has been discussed already. As the previous post shows, they do get to 1.8Ghz when required.
Hi sent my Z3+ to Sony for repair since the camera was closing in seconds
Now the phone behaves much better, doesnt overheat like it did before
But CPU -Z showed clocked at 1.6
384-1.56
Is that normal, just wanted to know,Thanks
It's clocked at 2GHz (Big) / 1.56GHz(Little) - you can verify by profiling with trepn. FYI, CPU-Z is a buggy mess. It only 'tries' to tell you the current freq - not the max freq. Check these two attachments from CPU-Z. One says I have 8 a53s - LMAO
I'm sure this is there quick fix for the heat issue. sometimes it makes it mind up on what freq to use.boot from cool showes 1.96 run the phone a bit clocked at 1.56.
sony/snap have to look at this which is why its taken so long. id be expecting a custom governor anf fix the fact its runnin 6 cores while at home.

It might have to do with having 8 cores in the system. The problem is that we do not have cooling on our phones BUT: per say you run a game that requires full power of the smaller 4-core processors, and we have 8 cores in total, the game will run evenly on all 8 (hence why you don't notice any lag even though it gets throttled) or maybe a little more towards the bigger 4-cores, they generate too much heat. It's better to spread the load with lower speeds than to keep it running on bigger cores (less cores also) at higher speeds. I believe you can modify your kernel settings to change the throttling temperature if the kernel supports it. I've went back to stock kernel because practically there was no difference when it comes to being a regular user. The cooler the processor is the better hardware life you'll have in the long run, after all, phones don't have sufficient cooling to support such processors at high frequency all the time.
If it throttles later on, let's say 70-ish, you'll complain that the phone heats up like the galaxy phones
