I recently tried openoverclock and overclock widget...
I underclocked for wireless tethering but I can't get either of the programs to keep consistent settings and i keep finding my phone running at 244.94 mhz and being extremely slow.
whats the deal??? did i f my processor up heating my phone up with tethering?
Are you running a rom that supports OC? I know that Fresh 2.1.x does not support it and Flipz says that if you put the overclock on it may end up forcing the phone to stay underclocked all the time.
****... imrunning DC v2.08.1
Yea, I don't think that one supports it, so that's probably the reason.

When I run android on my HTC HD2, my phone becomes hot..Its mostly half of the phone where the battery is??...Has anyone have the same issues?
That is your cpu. The brains of your phone. Very dangerous. You'll mess up your phone and it will be dead
it is probably due to overclocked builds. Be careful with the overclocking properties of builds and avoid using overclocked builds
What you could do is (if you havent already) install SetCPU for android (you'll need to have root access for this so if you dont you'll have to install superuser from the android market). then you can set your device to be overclocked, but if you choose for this to be 'ondemand' then this that when your device doesnt need to use the extra CPU power, then it wont.
plus you can also set various boundaries, so that when your phone is on lock, you can reduce the CPU right down to a lower amount.
All of these should give you the chance for your phone to run faster and have the battery not heating up as much.
also this should improve your battery life a little bit
hope this helps!
which build are you using? I noticed my phone gets hot with EVERY build EXCEPT shubCRAFTS
i am using shubCRAFTS too, sometimes it does get hot especially heavy surfing..
Mine becomes hot when connected in "H" mode for a long time.
If I just put him under heavy duty without network, it doesn't come hot... if wifi is used instead of gprs the phone stais way more cold.
So i think it's more an antenna issue (antennas are on the lower part of the phone too) than CPU.
Mine is overclocked, with Setcpu ondemand.
Q:
Whats a safe max for overclocking?
Is there a program where you can add your max temperature?

After trying out all the 1200 and the 1250 kernels, my phone just doesnt like them while using setcpu. With Setcpu set at performance and maxed out at 1200 my phone will run for a little bit and then lock up. If I try to run a quadrant it will freeze up when the immage starts to walk up the steps to the blue room requiring a battery pull. I am currently running an 1100 kernel that is stable on my phone but would like to run 1200 or even higher as 2.2 comes out and newer kernels are released. Is anyone else having a problem running above 1100? I'm still within my 30 day window and could easly take it back and get another phone, but in reality there is nothing wrong with the one I have, I just want it to run faster (than intended) so would I be wrong in taking it back to get a new one that will run at 1200 or higher? Thanks.
You should be running in conservative mode in setcpu regardless of the kernel...should fix your problem...

Why is that? I always ran performance on my Incredible without a problem. Granted, I realize that this is a different phone/processor. Wouldn't Conservitive keep the processor from max performance?
No, it will rev up the processor when you need it. I don't know if this will stop your phone from freezing while it's being taxed hard @ 1200 though ie Quadrant
Some people can run 1250, some have to stick to stock speed. I think it's mostly luck.
I think its because of all the different hardware they put into this phone to pump it out. Ontop of that the kernel code was not complete that samsung released.

I just downloaded Jrummy's Overclocker and i was wondering what are some settings for a safe overclock. im shooting for 1.2

1.2 should be no problem although all phones are different. start with the low voltage at 1.1 make sure the phone is stable. a quick test is to open the browser and load a few pages. a GOOD test is to run quadrant. then just increase the speed until it locks up. pull the battery and set it down 1 or 2 speeds and thats your max stable overclock at that voltage. most people are able to run 1.2 or 1.3 with no issues. i can run at 1.3 with no issues. any higher and after a few days (or less respectively) my phone hangs. Also increasing voltage will yield higher clocks but will drain the battery faster. just play around if the phone locks up just pull the battery. also i would not play with the manual settings until you are familiar with the basic ones first.
I am most stable at 1.25ghz LV. Currently running GummyJAR2.5 with Blueberry Theme.
No issues. I would recomend installing AutoKiller. This is not same as Task Killer. It frees up memory. Same function as the one that comes with Jrummy Overclock but you can customize it more.
auto killer waste battery we have plenty of memory on our phones
so what do you recommend for a jrummy oc? i was thinkin 1.2 on lv
I can only get up to Low volt 1.15 otherwise. Once I click on anything higher i get a MAJOR hanging as soon as its done overclocking. pissed but guess thats just the point that all phones are different.

yup...some people can run 1.4 with no problems...try upping the voltage a little

I wasn't a believer until I installed it. My ram use to run low and some times made my DX run slow. Since installing the autokiller, my DX runs smoother, zippier and consistant. I have mine pre-set at extream. As for the battery, I don't notice any difference and I am semi heavy user. I been running Autokiller for a while.
Hey guys, I recommend using QuickClock Advanced for some real battery savings. It calculates the lowest stable vsel your cpu can handle and then you can overclock from there.
my settings
300mhz 15vsel
600mhz 30vsel
900mhz 45vsel
1200mhz 61vsel
I could never get over 1.1 using jrummy untill I changed the gov, use anything but "on demand" and I can get 1.4 all day. The stock settings work well using the "performance" gov but battery life can suffer if you get crazy. Performance keeps it running at top speed all the time. Hope this helps.

Ive used similar settings and worked fine on my phone running Rubix.
Hello this is my second post.
I downloaded yesterday the app "WinMoSpeed" and i am wondering how far i can go with overclocking. I really don't want that my blackstone bricks. So what is a safe level of mhz i can set ? Currently it's set to 576,0 Mhz, but i don't know if that's too high or too low so i can go further. Please help .
hi, i have pushed my blackstone at 730mhz, but sometimes hangs, and I need to softreset.
Using it a 653 mhz works fine for me, but depends a lot on hardware, someone can overclock much more than others.
I do not think it could brick your device, only thing it could happen is a device hangs, you can solve it with a soft reset.
I've installed the overclock software on sd card, so if you mess up something you need just restart your device without the sd card and the frequency is set to default.
Hope i'd help.

PS. I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY IF YOU OVERCLOCK YOUR DEVICE AND DO SOME DAMAGE.
In my experience safe overclock speeds for everyday use are 595 to 633. No overheating. No lockups.
Also it will not have a significat impact on your battery life.
Hi it's running at 710 mhz now, but my battery drains like hell. Is it because overclock or S2U2 ? I installed S2U2 at the same time with overclock.
In my opinion if it's for 100MHz it's really not worth the shot
Also, if you're also using Android maybe you wanna check out this thread:

710 MHz it's quite a OC, of course your battery it will drain a lot. I think that on about 650 MHz it enough for a snappier device and for a good battery life.
hope i help.

A question. Have you ever thought how many months will last after overcloack mobile phone? I think it will not last long ...

Take in mind that probably you will shorten the CPU life.
I tested on 614 MHz with no notable battery draining. It's about a 15~20% more than standard 528 MHz so I think it's enough to the poor Blackstone.
BUT I ALSO tried to create other "underclock" settings, so that when I sleep or rest, I leave the device "resting" like me (I need the phone running 24h/24). I tried that it will run not far of 200 MHz and I hope this will help the Blackstone life.

Hi, I'm not the best person to answer, but I think the android versions for this phone already comes with overclocking. Because the mobile phone quite warm at the bottom (like when we overclocked), and when I'm on windows mobile and pitch for the android when it is overclocked it will not let me open the andoid, a freeze of the mobile phone and need restart.
But what I think is probably a person becomes more knowledgeable than me to answer.
is possible overclock in android 2.2.2 with set cpu in the blackstone? thanks
Has anyone overclocked the Froyo build?
What's safe?
I am going to be getting an Atrix in the next few days and will install the Aura ROM right off the bat, but im wandering, since it appears to use an OC'ing kernal, what effect will this have on heat and battery life? presumably negative, but how much so? i dont want another phone which heats up like mad, but i do like the look of the ROM. please help out an Android n00b
thanks
Just because it can overclock doesn't mean you have to. I use set cpu and keep mine undervolted and set to 1.1ghz. Idle around 30 celsius and when I game it gets up to 50 degrees.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
the atrix on stock 1.0 ghz gets REALLY hot so yea i would assume it would just get hotter MUCH hotter but you can get a setcpu and just set your processor down when you dont use it much or make profiles to automatically do it
great, so the rom just allows OCing, not forces it? thats good to know, thanks

it will automatically clock itself to 1.3ghz, you'll need a program like SetCPU or PimpMyCPU to set it to not OC itself.
i suggest SetCPU myself, it can be found on the market. i prefer buying it over getting it for free here on XDA, we gotta support our devs right?
