Hey all. I know this is the DEV section, and maybe someone can make use of this information. I just returned home from my daily errands, stopping by good ol' t-mobile. and to my surprise, as im asking and answering more questions than the "android expert" in the store, i was presented with the MYTOUCH Slide to take a look at.
BAD A$$ PHONE. The dude wasnt being the most generous with the info. And wouldent even let me touch it, regaurdless, i did ask him to go to the About Screen. And low, and behold, 2.1 Sense. 1ghz Snap i believe. And Yes folks. HSPA IS HERE. well whatever it is called.
SO IF YOU LIVE IN VEGAS. YOU HAVE THAT NEW 3.5G . OHHHH YEAA.
Hit me up for more details.

Yes, this was the specified cpu used for the mytouch slide in specifications. I don't know where he got 1ghz from :S
Other then that the information given isn't anything new, we already knew from the port that it would be 2.1 espresso.

I don't know why he got the idea that HSDPA is a big deal/new either. I get it (HSDPA) from time to time (usually UMTS tho) in my town of 30k, and yeah, it's faster. Thanks to that standard, the throughput/bandwidth can be increased quite a bit, so when Sprint's on 5G, those with G1s from 2008 will be able to keep up with the loudmouths on the CDMA side as long as T-Mo expands up to the max, which is like 16mbps or something, if I remember correctly the Wiki I read on it eons ago
Interesting.....how did you come up with 1ghz by looking at the about phone screen?

I'm not new to overclocking, but I AM new to Android, so when it comes to overclocking an Android phone, I'm as useless as the next guy.
I noticed people got the i9000 version as well as the Captivate version to overclock to 1.2Ghz, but I can't find anything on the Fascinate. One member mentioned in another thread they overclocked, but I don't see how.
So how do we overclock the Fascinate? If there's a guide out there, it should be a sticky here!
Need overclocked kernels to achieve that, and we don't have any as of yet.
Gotta wait for custom kernels to start rolling out, which will be soon
Man you guys are sick.
The phone is at 1Ghz right now. Almost Twice the speed the original Motorola Droid. And you want to overclock already.

Seriously? 1.6ghz? Where did these numbers come from just wondering? Not that I don't believe you just skeptical. If those facts are true that's freaking awesome!
u can go to the irc chat for the i9000(international SGS) Or prolly find it n xda under i9000 I know its been said it can be done but hasn't been yet. This isn't like the Snapdragon or Dx, D2 processors that are basically maxed out at 1ghz. I don't know any specifics bit I believe it. Hit the forums and chatrooms. If I'm wrong my bad. But I know its been said at some point that this processor is capable. If u ask or find it post back with any recent info.

lol. It's the modified kernel that allows an overclock, not the rom. It's not even worth OCing imho. All that risk for 113-119 mHz...And no noticeable difference (outside of benchmarks, which don't matter anyways).
With CM6 final and wildmonk kernel I overclock to 1228mhz with no problem. Now having it over clock to 1. 4 gh will be impressive

Again, the rom you use has no affect on overclock capabilities. It's all the kernel and SetCPU.

I like to max out the phone much as I can. It not line it runs at max all time only when its on. It will reduce the life of the phone. But do ever use the phone over a year or two. Nope. Its all a preference. Also you feel the difference on speed with oc.

No no no you misunderstand. It was a compliment, 420 is a "sacred" number in California (and the US at large). Waaaay off topic, my apologies [OP]. Had to.
No disrespect intended.
It's beginning to look like this phone won't go any higher than 1.1 Ghz for OC. Kind of disheartening..
Are there any other phones that have had similar barriers that could perhaps give some insight on to how our 1.1 barrier can be passed? I'm by no means a dev, but that doesn't mean I can't organize an effort! Perhaps a bounty is in order for this?

Yeah you're post isn't contributing well to this apparently poor community either. Like I said, if you haven't anything productive to say, gtfo. There's more to be done than to just wait for devs to magically do it. Us lowly non devs can still look into what can be done. What do you suggest we do in these forums if not to promote discussion of enhancements to our phone?
The point of this thread is to sort of take the pressure off the devs to figure it all out on their own.
If you're gonna wastes everyones time, we'd like you to kindly take your whining back to the aria forum or something..

Whining stops now.
If you want to discuss getting a bounty together for overclocking beyond 1.1Ghz, by all means continue to do so.
Otherwise, this thread will be closed.
Heh hopefully if a mod says what I've been harping this whole time it sticks. Well, anyone think a bounty for this is worth it? Honestly, other dual core phones are almost to 2.0. If we're fast at 1.1 can you imagine more? I'm never content with where I'm at so I say we get this phone as high as it can.
That being said, one concern is that anything higher than 1.1 is physically impossible no matter how you cut it. Like I said other dual cores are oc'd high, but who knows how this thing is different!
The real question before bounty talks can be made is: can we determine if its possible? Were other phones in this situation?
I remember when faux initially discussed it, he made it sound like it was some simple code holding it back but I dunno really..
Sent from my Motorola Atrix using the Premium XDA App
In my coding experience(I do it for fun here and there) if it were simple code it probably could've been replaced by now unless it were hardware dependent... which it shouldnt be because there are other Tegra 2 phones well past 1.1ghz... which sorta just leaves me in a conundrum...
I was hoping this would be fixed in cm7 because it uses a different kernal and whatnot so we'd find a work around... but I guess not yet
It would probably help me to pm someone like faux or knoll who have worked with it first hand though.
Anyways lets hope for a breakthrough soon to show everyone else how much better our phones are from theirs

Those are good points. And yeah I probably worded that wrong, with the "simple line of code" thing, because now that you mention it that sounds TOO simple lol. I can't really remember what he said, but at the time it seemed less serious, as in 'the next version of my kernel would bypass it', ya know what I mean? But now here we are, still at 1.1. However, at the same time, the only guy really working on getting higher than 1.1 had halted his kernel progress to work on CM7, so I dunno. Perhaps a bounty would be good to get more devs in to take a look at it and see what to do.
And yeah it's a little reassuring to know that the Xoom did it, with essentially the same processor. Does anyone know if it had the same type of roadblock associated with it, where they couldn't OC much higher for a time?
From the little I've heard the xoom was able to oc to 1.5 without any kind of roadblocks(Idk about after that) but I've never rly heard of something like this for android phones from all the tech nerds I know haha... I think starting a bounty would be a good idea(and Id totally donate to something like that) but I also think once cm7 is stable they'll be more devs trying to fix this problem... who knows they might find something out by just tinkering with it on cm7

Yeah I'd be willing to donate as well, of course (a given, as I seem to be worrying about this too much anyways ).
I've wondered if, since faux announced that "barrier", if either him or anyone else has even attempted to look at what causes it. I'm not saying 'those lazy bastards!!!11!' or anything, but if that's the case I'd almost feel better since that explains why it hasn't been done yet. Otherwise, the longer they HAVE looked at it with no avail, the more likely it is we're stuck at 1.1
Maybe tinkering will help...I honestly thought it would help while they developed it in the first place, since like you said earlier, it seems like it's not a hardware thing so a new ROM could have helped...
Someone with coding knowledge should contact whoever made the xoom overclock.
Sent from my Atrix running CM7
Remember that a phone is essentially a small computer. It's not just the CPU which is involved. Memory timings, voltages, and cooling all play a huge part in OC'ing a CPU. This may be where the problem lies. If the phone requires memory timings which make it extremely unstable/unuseable at an OC higher than 1.1GHz, then it will always be a no go, no matter how you look at it. Similarily, if you have to step up the voltage, you induce more heat, and there is no active cooling in a phone.
In essence, there are many reasons why the OC may have stopped at 1.1GHz. It seems people really need to understand overclocking overall before commenting on what is and is not possible.
There is also the chance that nobody has really looked at this as important because all the work has gone into creating CM7, etc. I would say OC'ing past 1.1GHz is low on the totem pole for the few devs who are capable of doing it.
kholk claims to be releasing a 1.2 kernal today, I believe lt to be for testing to make sure it works but we shall see.
Sent from my Atrix running CM7
First, let my apologize if I posted this in the wrong place. I am new and just rooted my epic 4G today for the first time with my friend's help.
I have CM7 and was trying to overclock my phone to see how fast it would go, most of what I've tried has only let my set it to 1000. My friend tells me if I can find something called "Titmat 2.6" it should let me boost to up to 2000. Google keeps telling me it's called Tiamat, but I see titmat used for the Evo 3D. It just so happens, that's my friend's phone aswell. Is there a copy of Titmat for my Epic 4G (non touch) that someone might be able to provide a link to? Or if not, is there another kernel you recommend for my phone? Any help would be appreciated. Again, I apologize for my newbness. :\
What you need is one of the cm7 kernels from over in development section. Shadow and Samurai are good. Then get voltage control from the market to over clock. You aren't going to get 2000 though. Samurai is 1500 I think and shadow is 1400.
Tiamat is a kernel for another phone.

Damn marcusant lmfao don't discourage the people actually willing to learn...
But like marcusant said, its only for the evo 3d. Our phones use a different method to overclock.
If you take a stroll down to the epic 4g development section, you should see things like "cm7 kernel" in the title. Read each thread and see which kernel you like. Afterwards, just download voltage control from the marketplace and you should be able to overclock your phone
Most epics are stable upto 1.2Ghz, but some get lucky and are actually able to overclock to 1.4 and 1.5 with no ill side effects (I'm one of them )
Now, when you overclock, you're working it more than it was designed to. Fortunately, we have easily the best single core mobile processor out there right now on a mobile phone, so it can take it. However you also give it more power to run at these higher speeds so it heats up faster...and we all know what happens when silicon gets heated BUT with voltage control you can do something called "undervolting" which lowers the voltage-per-clockspeed aspect so to say. Its usually safe to undervolt by 50mV without any ill effects, but as with overclocking, some people can undervolt EVERY clock by 100mV or so (I'm not one of them.. ) I do not recommend attempting to undervolt unless you understand the risk/reward ratio fully. If you undervolt too much your phone will become corrupted, but if you do it one step at a time your phone will be super fast AND on a power diet
I recommend the shadow kernel. I haven't been on cm7 since cm9 dropped, but shadow kernel usually worked best for me.
If you have any questions I'll gladly help I will also be quick to note if a simple little search would've answered your question in a very condescending way. Fortunately your post is legit

Marcusant is correct. Overclocking is not for the light hearted or newbies. It can damage your phone, make it unuseable if you do not know what you are doing or how to recover it. It is like adding a nitrous kit on a motorcycle for a new rider.

I never discourage learning. If someone understands the risk and likes to learn, they'll most likely learn something from that. Do we even have any confirmed reports of the epic bricking from overclocking?
Having said that, am I the only one who feels the phone works snappy enough w/o overclocking?

I think this kind of went off point. Yes the phone is totally snappy enough with OC. The point was the OP came here looking for something that is not for this phone to push the speed to 2Ghz because someone else told him about it. It wasn't a question about teaching them to overclock it is more an issue to teach him to research before flashing a kernel for a different phone.

Wow..
Thanks for the advice guys. So my friend made me look like a jackass. It was Tiamat. Yeah, I understand that's just a special Kernal for his Evo 3D. I'm gonna look into Samurai and Shadow. I haven't read anything about any fatal damage from overclocking. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the phone just gets hotter and the battery dies faster. (correct me if I'm wrong) I have plenty of extra batteries because before EI22 my phones battery life was about 4 hours, without using it. So glad they patched that.
My $0.02...
1. Never heard of a hardbrick from overclocking with Hummingbird, phones will turn off and reboot before they get that hot. Most that would happen is data corruption, which is nothing a little Odin won't fix.
2. I would never use the titmat if that was what it was really called.

I think he means Tiamot not titmat lol. But the epic will be faster than the evo 3d no matter what your friend overclocks it to. I used an evo 3d about a month ago and it was slow as hell and the screen sucked. The 3d isn't even 3d.

Titmat? Sounds like a prank.
