Over clocking what is safe?

Ok What about overclocking an Qtek 9100?
What is safe and stable to do without dameging the device?
Greetz Jip

Most of what I've seen is about 240MHz. I've seen some have success as high as 264, but if you go much higher than that you run a real risk of burning out your processor.

Even I have read of people not going beyond 240 mhz. I have overclocked it t 234 mhz.
Cheers!

ive had mine running at 273mhz now for a few months with no problems at all

i have mine running at 286 mhz! no problems at all. beyond that it crashes.. tried 300 mhz, hehehe but crashed the ppc
i can post screenshot if you want! i use battery status and other tweaks as well. Works like a charm really.
And if you are afraid of damaging the CPU use the CPU scaller function of battery status!

Yeah screens would be nice thx all of you i clocked it to 264 now.

Can somebody answer to my question: Can, and how serious overclocking affect on battery standby/talk time?

Simple,more you overclock,more battery will be consumed.

And, how overclocking apply to phone performance? In percentage please.

Ive been running mine at 260 for almost a year now and no problems except the battery drain is noticeable vs 200

x10 uses ondemand cpu scaling 245 - 998 mhz stock, do not use setcpu

just wanted to let everyone know this, as there are still plenty of threads out there that suggest setcpu, and it's a waste of time

Thanks dan, where you been stranger?

so what does it mean? it's doing what setcpu does? what about battery and temperature profiles? what if i want to force the cpu to use a lower clock speed to conserve battery?

I never understood SetCPU myself. The CPU is only used when required, so creating all these settings likely does nothing.
I'd consider it for overclocking, if that was possible.

I was also informed that our phones should do this anyway but I was suspicious of how well it does, being on 1.6 and butchered by SE after all.. it made a good deal of difference before the update.
Trying it without the update now and we'll see how it goes. Completely removed it and power cycled. Will bump in a few days with my results.

I found android got extremely laggy on 1.6 with setcpu. and I use a temp/cpu widget to keep tabs on stock behavior, my cpu sits at 245 most of the time, except when I'm using the phone

What widget do you use?
I took a quick look on the Market and AppBrain, and couldn't find anything to track/plot CPU clock to see what the phone's doing while in standby.
I do use SystemPanel, but it doesn't plot CPU clock over time, only usage.

Try advanced task manager it shows cpu speed...

I'm not looking for a way to see the speed. SystemPanel will do that. I'm looking for a plot that shows the cpu speed over time, so I can see how and when it changes.

Try Usage Timelines Free or seepu++ (not free and dev seems to have abandoned it)
Edit: sorry I see you want clock speed not usage. I have yet to find an app for that as well.

so what is SetCPU doing then? draining the battery? or is it affecting the charging process?
and what about the app CoolS? its almost the same thing as SetCPU but the only thing you can do is slow the CPU down

You can use SetCPU to:
1. Overclock (but not on X10)
2. Underclock (you know you go somewhere for 2 days and forgot the charger at home)
3. Make profiles to lower CPU freq when temp is too high
For day by day use, i'm ok with android's ondemand scaling.

use android hackers apk. thereu can see theCPU over time...

i use setcpu to underclock my X10 to 5xx mhz when the screen is off.
my batt usage is better, from 3-5% per hour to below 2%.

I've been using overclock widget to keep it to 998mhz to see if it would make a difference in quadrant. Recently i uninstalled it and i still get about the same benchmark score.

question reguarding overclock rom

hi, i've got a htc wildfire.. well obviously considering i'm posting in this section
anyway, i've installed wildpuzzle 0.8 with the overclocking kernal, what i'm wanting to find out is....
when running setcpu, the cpu will change it's frequency depending on usage.
but what about if setcpu isn't installed and you use the rom to overclock to say 748.. will the cpu stay at 748 permanently, or will it drop down and up natively depending on usage, like setcpu does??
thanks

i would say without set cpu or a specific speed framework, it would revert back to standard 528max 480min
which overclocking kernel have you got, be aware that if you have 130 kernel and overclock, wifi hotspot will not work, you can see phone but you won't be able to connect, you need to use 055 kernel from wildpuzzle 8.0.11 thread.
a small side note, i have just recently changed my overclocking from 691max to 652max, no discernable difference in speed, linpack for 691mhz was 2.9, for 652mhz i'm still getting 2.8 mflops, but huuuuge difference in battery life.
691 max struggling to get 2 days, 652 max after 24 hours i still have 82% battery left.

how do you see this mflops thing? and is it like a cpu score?

Download Linpack For Android from the market, and, Yes, in a way, it is like a CPU Score.

Another thread posted in wrong section

I own my X10 from January but didn't use it as my main phone - instead I played a lot with tons of apps.
BTW se's 2.1 ROM is VERY stable! Even when I have about 200-300 apps installed (internal memory was full) and about 20-30 was launched after boot - I had no FCs or any other issues (except slow boot up (about 2-3 minutes) and slow start of new apps). It's very stable comparing to HTC for example.
About CPU frequency - I used SystemPanel to monitor a lot of things, including CPU usage. With 2.1 ROM CPU frequency was 250-500 MHz at idle with CPU load 7-30%.
Now with 2.3 ROM CPU frequency don't fall lower than 720 and mostly is about 900 MHz at idle! With CPU load 1.9-9%.
Seems that it should consume battery A LOT!
Am I alone with that issue?

No, everyone has it. (On SE 2.3.3 ROM) But you've got it worse then me ^^...

might be why some folks are having battery drain issues

SystemPanel does not give accurate CPU stats. Numbers like 720 and 900 are not possible on stock kernel.
CPU frequencies can only be 245-384-576-768-998, nothing in between.
Use CPUSpy or some other CPU monitor to get a more accurate idea of how your CPU is behaving.

Yes i got this issue too,phone is always 998 in use,even if it's not heavy use ,so battery drain is horrible :s

[trick] (battery mod)

Tired of watching your battery getting drained? Each morning you switch on your phone?
What if inatead of getting diacharged your battery gets magically charged ? Doesnt it sounds great xD
We'll now you cannn .... here just folllow the quick easy steps.
1.Purchase/Dowload-
Antutu CPU master app from market or some other source
.check on set on booot box.
2. Open The App and set the freq the way you want...
Than go to profiles..
3.check on set on booot box.
In profiles there'll be an option of Screen Off .
in screen off profile set the min and max freq as lowest as possible .for example - 128mhz in min and max both.
And set the scaling model to ondemand/powersaver mode.
Result: you'll actually be suprised the way it'll automatically
charge/save
your battery overnight or whenever youll keep your phone's screeen off
Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Dont forget to press THANKS BUTTON IM JUST A NEWBIE WITH THIS WEIRD TRICK ILL ADD MORE IF ILL GET TO KNOW SOME....

It's very bad profile at my opinion. If you listening to music you'll get freeze and must to reboot the phone sometimes. Just let your phone get to deep sleep and you don't need any profile. You must only close all unused apps before you go to bed and your phone make better profile than min freq of CPU.
And as you said "Charge/save". That happens when your battery is cooling down after big effort. You can recover even 30% at night, thats normal ;]
I'm using screen off profile too but on 245-768 freqs(smartassV2) because im using DSP manager and beats+SRS mod and that addons need some power to work properly ;d
I think this help ;d

Useless thread and WRONG section.

Im using DonutHD rom and it charges overnight approximately 20% in deep sleep i also using doomkernel witho no overclock for unlocked bootloder

music works fine in mine .. :/

XPERIA X10i 1800mAh battery lasts for over 5 days.
The OP was on the right track, but may not be considering the wider ramifications of the XPERIA X10i.
At best an off screen profile with a governor with modest MHz frequency increase steps and quick decrease is the best you can hope for.
I have a Mugen Power 1800mAh battery in my XPERIA X10i
I am using SetCPU with profiles enabled/configured, a stock GB ROM and DoomKernel v6 and a heavily modified build.prop file.
My default SetCPU profile is:
Max: 1113MHz
Min: 192Mhz
Governor: SmartAssv2
Scheduler: SIO
Using SetCPU I have a Screen Off profile.
Max: 756MHz
Min: 192Mhz
Governor: Powersave
Scheduler: SIO
If you attempt to use a CPU frequency of 128MHz there is every chance your phone will not come out of sleep or it will FC and/or reboot attempting to start a background process.
And here's a picture girls and boys.
The phone was generally left to idle with only modest to light use.

Can you share me your so called heavily modified build.prop?

I can do that.
Even better, I can share a really good[in my view] XPERIA S home launcher install zip with all the XPERIA S(LT26i) apps which got lost in time for those on a stock (or derivative of) XPERIA X10i GB 2.3.3 build
Has the AccuWeather Widget, XPERIA music player with equalizer and apps of the XPERIA S when is was on GB 2.3
XPERIA S apps on stock V2 & BEATS
In the first page of this XPERIA S apps installation page there is the zip install to download, which would then be installed by xRecover.
If you open this zip on a PC and then navigate to /system folder you will see a build.prop file.
You can then just install the build.prop file (or even better the parts you feel have relevance to you) on your XPERIA X10i.
Remember, if you just install this overwriting your old build.prop. you will wipe ALL the settings you had previously in your build.prop file.
It's not a good idea to overwrite your existing build.prop file, so PLEASE use some common sense and at the VERY LEAST have a backup copy of your original build.prop file.
The few build.prop changes will probably have minimal impact on your battery life as even the collapse setting has minimal effect, but I leave it in as I like the look of it. The build.prop setting 'may' improve other part of the overall picture though.
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
I culled all 'boatware' like Facebook, twitter, email.apk, gmail.apk, gtalk and etc until I was down to and beyond the minimum system apps found in DonutHD v2.3
The only background process I have is email (Kaiten mail...cause it has a red mail box), 3G watchdog pro and maybe Google Services, mobile data always disabled unless needed, think I still have WCDMA preferred. Sync as little as possible.
The big battery saver is SetCPU profiles and using specific governors and clocking to appropriately manage CPU use during different work loads.
AND least we forget. I HAVE A GOOD BATTERY!!!! I have a Mugen Power 1800mAh battery which is only one year old.
If you're not able to equal of better my battery life, you'll probably NEVER realize any 'amazing' improvements in line with what I get in pure battery life, if your battery is not up to snuff.
Running at 100% CPU my battery lasts for 3hrs 17mins with 19% battery life left as seen in AnTuTu tester
Mobile phone battery life is just a reflection of the usage of your phone, the quality of your battery and can at best, only be complemented by a few setting and configurations. It's more to do with the applications you're running and poor ROM CPU clock settings than anything. {Me thinks]
All in all she's a pretty big job and that's why it's bit of a black art as no two phones are setup the same once user apps are added and owners are let loose on their phones..

will try

I just want your build.prop file
