Underclocked cpu? - Epic 4G General

I was browsing my system info and it seems my cou is running at 800mhz? Do u guys also have this as the standard

I mean when I view the system info in Quadrant, it says the cpu is underclocked

samsung built in an ondemand power bias, it will scale up to 1ghz if needed but will most of the time sit comfortably at 800

Cpu speed is self throttled. It won't run at 1gz unless required by whatever it is you are asking the device to do. This is to conserve battery usage. Ie: The phone doesn't need to run at 1gz to play solitare smoothly but might to play a video or 3d game.
Edit: I see someone beat me to the answer.

Daily min/max CPU frequencies?

First off I apologize if there is a thread like this lying around somewhere.
Now I made this thread because I'm curious about what frequencies people usually have their phone running on.
Mine's
Min:100
Max:400
Governor: SmartassV2
Go ahead and post yours!

damn 100/400.. lol i use 100/1460 on smartass
running 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200
sio, and conservative or on demand.
on the ronnin5 samurai kernel
-25 uv across the board on all frequencies
When at work i can run podcasts on blue tooth for 5 hours, surf web on 4g (usually checking the forums) for 30 min during my 2 20 min breaks. This is my usual 8 to 9 hours from pulling it from the charger to getting home. Rarely do i have to swap batteries before i leave work (i have 3 batteries) but can usually make it home and toss it on the computer usb if i don't want to swap out my battery.

I CALL BS. No Way in Hell not even on Any platform will it be fine it will lag and be unresponsive at those low frequencies.
Make a video and put it on Youtube i want to see this if i UV as well it also decreases performance but gains battery life.
Not that I've tried it... but we all know the Epic is more than twice as fast as some devices that run Android. In that case, how would running it at 40% speed make it unusable?

Umm no thats wrong.
HTC EVO Shift 4G can be over-clocked to 1.9GHz from a stock 800 MHz: 110% OC
HTC Rezound can be overclocked to 1.99GHz from a stock 1.5GHz: 49-50% OC
Moto Droid X can be overclocked to 2GHz from a stock 1GHz: 100% OC
Theres plenty the Samsung Epic only has technically a 30% overclock and virtually a 50% overclock
But theres plenty of other phones with more over-clockability
I run 100/200/400/800/1000/1200 all stock. Its what samsung intended the hummingbird for (our processors were designed to go 1.2ghz iirc)

Well because our phones are 1.2GHz Stock but they lowered to 1GHz because that was the margin in 2010 for high end devices but they Under Clocked to save some battery. So technically we only came up with a 30% OC (1500MHz).

That will not show us how it performs I.E Lag. That will scroll smoothly and will stutter. running 400Mhz on max is still to low for no lag at all.
I could believe 100/600 or 200/800

Lol but I swearrr its on 100-400 conservative lol
And it won't show if it lags which it seriously doesn't at allllll but if I've been using only 100, 200, and 400 mhz for the past 6 or 7 hours or longer then u know its not lagging cuz why would I put up with a day using my phone lagging everywhere just to prove something like this to you..
I downloaded screencast to take a video but it only let's me take 20seconds and when I played it it was all black and didn't show my screen
Ill try again to show you

It wont lag for doing nothing try going on to play simple games it lag, try browsing on the internet or stream music even with a good connection it still chips in n out because of low performance speeds.

Lol waitt I'm not saying its perfect or as good as running on 1000
But to me its very very very acceptable
Games is the only place it lags to a point where I can't take it
But I browse the internet (dolphin hd) and I use this app to get on here and I listen to music and txt and its all good now its not 100% perfect or very very very smooth but its really acceptable like I use it like this all the time so it should b acceptable

100/600 Smartass V2 is lag free for me but I can deal with 400. Unless I'm scrolling on the internet lol. Don't get me wrong though, I bump it up to 1.2ghz when I'm gaming

[Q] CPU Clock speed

So I was trying to mess around with CPU profiles and I noticed that the low end of the CPU is clocked at 1GHz. If I lower it with Rom Toolbox, it just goes right back up after I leave the menu. the profiles won't stick, governors don't make a difference, and I'm a little confused.
Can someone shed some light on this for me?
I thought the lowest speed was 384 MHz? Install CPU Spy and check what it says.
It is 384MHz. The lower frequency change because of project butter that make the cpu run at a higher frequency when you touch the screen.

Dont you need a custom kernal in order to change the clock speeds?
sent via xda premium with nexus 7
No, we can already change it but it won't stick since it has its own frequency management.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Is this somewhat similar to perflocker in HTC devices? It had to be disabled to change any cpu settings AT ALL with the stock kernel.

You're right. I guess it just has its own profile to set at 1GHz when the screen is on, because the CPU Spy showed it in Deep Sleep/384Mhz for the majority of the night.

GPU under clocking

UI still runs super smooth at 128MHz, so will setting it to this have any major positive effect on battery life? If not playing games I'm guessing u won't really need all that GPU power.

Well, in technical terms it *should* give you better battery life because it's reducing stress on a main hardware component so it doesn't have to work as hard (the harder it works, the more battery it takes). Same thing with the screen; the lower the brightness, the better the battery.

Wouldn't it have to work harder for longer because it can't do anything as fast? It isn't like if you set the GPU clock to 487mhz it runs at 487mhz all the time, so ramping up to 487mhz would allow it to finish whatever it is doing faster wouldn't it?

Then wouldn't it be the same with the CPU? When I answered I was thinking like how a CPU would work. I understand your thinking though.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Well I would like to add that the 540 sgx can power the 720P in the Galaxy Nexus... That dino is significantly weaker than the Adreno 320 even over clocked. I run 128 only and it works fine for games and even HD videos(YouTube). To confirm I tried Most wanted, dead trigger, temple run, riptide,etc and there weren't any issues(also toggled vSync). And if you use benchmarks like Epic cidel or antutu you'll see the frames are still pretty high.
So I'll say that 128 or even 200mhz is sufficient for this GPU and most purposes. However a good I/o scheduler and governor are still recommended.

I think another advantage if it runs what you want at a good frame rate is less heat.

Phone getting heated

Hi guys I dont play much games on my phone ,
Yesterday when checked found modern combat for free on samsung apps downloaded installed and now when I started playing it gets heated very soon is this normal or is it due to over clocking of cpu and gpu?

Hello, what is your current voltage for your cpu and gpu? And frequency (cpu/gpu)?
Undervolt probably can resolve the problem!

It's normal. I haven't over or underclocked or overclocked my phone and when playing highly intensive graphiv games, it heats up. If you have a case on it, that could contribute.

Having a case on heats the phone up? I haven't rooted or played any intensive games on my phone. I do have a case and I am noticing the phone heats up quite a bit when you charge your phone or if your 3G connection is ON for long. I think that's the reason my SD Card got busted, due to excessive heating. Can anyone confirm the phone heating up coz of a case?

If it isn't turning off then you are fine. A quad core cpu with a gpu on board will get warm in the designated area, especially given the fact there is no ventilation.
Your cpu set to 1.8ghz and voltage?
You can test decrease voltage by 0.25mv to reduce heat and better battery life.
For me actually 1.8ghz = 1250mv

[Q] Underclocking for root users Questions and thoughts

Ive been getting smoother results underclocking the G2 at either 1.7 or 1.9 and knock on seems more quick to response, but when I tried video recording the 60 fps isn't smooth when you are clocked at the regular speed.. beware...I ran a benchmark on quadrant standard and got 17,250 constantly so it is underclocked per core... I want to hear your opinion on this and do you plan to underclock or already are. I feel like the ability to be more smooth within the UI helps a lot more now..let me know your thoughts!

From using trickster mod and setcpu to underclock they only underclock cpu0 the other three still use the full frequency range.

No i got a higher benchmark than the guy who replied on my post. I did get a smoother UI and everything is less laggy. Ill post a pic of 2.3ghz idk if its actually at 1.7ghz or 2.3ghz ill do another test

I am tending to believe that the regular clock speed is actually overclocked...just like how the galaxy s4 is overclocked 200mhz more than normal...however I could be wrong..
If you really want to see if this odd issue is actually happening download an app called Multicore CPU Control (the only app of its kind that seems to work with the LG G2). I use this to save battery by turning off all but one core, but it allows you full control over all your cores.
Download it, create a profile, and set each core to what you want. I had to save the profile first, then go back in to edit the latter 3 cores' frequencies.
I would suggest setting the min and max to the same and choosing Performance for the governor. Use a different app to set the scheduler.
Be sure to have something like Kernel Tuner to ensure that all your cores are running as you intended. If not, go back into Multicore CPU Control and re-save your profile again.
Would love to hear the results afterwards!
I used Multicore CPU Control.
The only way to set clock to CPU 1,2,3 is let them always active. If I leave dynamic for these cores, they still go up to 2,26 GHZ. I think this the reason why HeXaLox have a little decrement when underclock because it only did for one core.
