Anyone having problem with OCing? - Droid 2 General

I've experimented a little with overclocking and for some reason no matter what I set it to my phone will randomly reboot or shut off. Its getting very annoying. I don't usually preset anything. I'll keep it at like 1.3ghz or 1.25ghz. It even reboots at like 1.1 low voltage...

Every phone is different. I can custom set to 1.375 and run fine. But anything over and it goes into snail mode. Only have resets at below 900...try medium voltage which are set close to stock steps....may work better.

Hi Guys.
could you please send me your 1.3 and / or 1.375 kernel to give it a try on my milestone 2?

There's a guide on the development forum make sure you fine the correct file for your device.

thanks HerroMoto. Going checkin now.

Do you have setcpu or a OC kernal by any chance?
I am having this happen also... I have had to remove my battery three times today to reboot the phone.
I have set CPU installed, is that a bad idea?
I'm rooted with just the stock OS, no mods at all and my phone will randomly reboot every two or three days.

Mine has the new rom the leaked one and does this so often like after every 2-3 songs. Did it with the stock rom too.

No, I'm rooted with straight stock. No set CPU or anything of that nature. But like I said even then ill get complete freezes and then a reboot. Or occasionally ill attempt to open an app and the phone will reboot!!

did you wipe your SD cards when you flashed the new rom? I don't have this behavior but I did have FC's and such because of some files on the SD. I have NONE of this behavior. Something is wrong for you, nothing is wrong with JI2 and freezing/rebooting.

I used to have this problem all the time too whenever I tried to use the gps, but since I've applied the leaked update that problem has gone away. But it seems like you're experiencing the issue at more random times. Have you noticed any particular pattern? For example, whenever you try to play music in the background and read a website at the same time.

Yup mine is bone stock not Rooted and it will lock up just siting there GPS, wireless and Bluetooth off in a very good signal area.
Same here on both roms. I thought the lag fix was causing the freeze. But now im stock jit2 and root.
Had the same with gps and maps with old firmware.

NO set cpu or anything
I haven't had this issue happen since I applied the flashable gps fix. Maybe it was an issue with an app that wanted to use GPS running in the background?
This has happened to me several times while booting gps and only recently started happening while playing pandora, but not as frequent as while using the gps...not rooted

Mine has only frozen up once and it was at the end of a call screen turned off. I hit power and went to go unlock and it turned off again.. Would not turn back on but I know the phone was still on since I had apmobile enabled and it was still transmitting wifi connection. Oh I was using eugene's FrankenTwiz (underclocked to 400mhz)when it happened but same thing happened to my girlfriend and she had hybrid r3. Other than phone runs fine.
Ive had some odd reboots where I dont get a shutdown or boot animation or sounds, just freezes, goes black, keys light up, searching for signal boot process. Yesterday in maps trying to troubleshoot my gps. Stock rom,rooted, Ryan's lagfix.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Have the phone replaced. I had a phone that would randomly freeze and/or reboot. Nothing I did would fix it.
I talked to a T-mobile worker who had the same issue with one of the early demo-phones Samsung loaned to him. They just replaced his without every saying what the problem was.
I've been having this happen a lot lately myself, it happened to me before on stock ROM due to SetCPU, but now on the leaked ROM. I did not clean the SD card (internal or external), so will give that a shot when I have some time to copy files on/off the SD cards (one reason to dislike the internal SD is that I have to mount it to copy the files, ergh).

[Q] Black screen issue.

Every mornin after charging all night, my phone decides it wants to go black.. and ironically enough, not come back.
I have to pull the battery and reboot. It happens 4-5x in the morning, then doesn't happen the rest of the day. What would cause this?
- Nebula Lemon Slice ROM
- DK28
- SetCPU running @ 100-1000 conservative (only reason I mention this is it always seems to happen shortly, not immediately, after installing)
If you need any more info just ask.

Still no resolution for this issue. Returning my Epic today.
Try odining back to stck and then flashing dk8 again and the nebula rom see if that fixes it and try to format your sdcard to.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I have the same problem. It only occurs after I activate set cpu and it goes to sleep. If I turn set cpu off (after a battery pull) then it's fine. I just figured that set cpu doesn't support the epic that well yet.

[Solved with a future kernel update] SetCPU Faux Kernel 0.1.9

Am I doing something wrong? No matter what I do. I cannot get setcpu to cap at 1200Ghz, it always resets to 1300Ghz. No matter what rom I use it wont stay set. It always resets
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Do you have the "set at boot" box checked off?
If so, under Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Performance do you have the CPU set at 1200 and have set at boot checked off?

I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong, but I believe there may be a bug with SetCPU. You can try CPU Tuner or that other app which does the same thing to confirm.
In any event, you may be able to circumvent it by setting up a profile. Just an idea. Let us know how it goes!
Maybe a bad version of setcpu or oc kernel. I haven't had any issues but I'm on HomeBase and have setcpu limits on screen off 216/456 and battery <50 1000. Been working superb I must say.
I use CPU Master and haven't had any issues at all.

No problems with setCPU. Just check off "apply at boot"
Hmm,i have the same issue with stock 2.3.4, setCpu and both faux or kholks kernel,very weird, i will try profiles, later today.
Same here, I have mentioned it many times and actuallly thought I was the only one.
Sent from my Tab using a pigeon.
Ok, i just tried the profiles and still to no avail. Very weird and rather annoying
I've also mentioned this a few times and have since moved back to 0.1.7
Try wiping setCPU's data from the manage applications menu.
Nope, same thing happens. The interesting thing is that if I cap it at 800 MHz, it tops up at that. Any step higher and the cap doesn't work.

Very odd. You could also try wiping cache and dalvik if you haven't already.
Have you had this issue with any other ROMs?
I am more or less having the same issue. The annoying thing is that sometimes it would work but sooner or later, after a reboot, or changing the settings, it would go off again.
One thing that seeme to help is to set both slides to the min setting then just move one slide at a time, one click at a time and wait a few seconds between changes, till you get the settings you want... did not always work but it did more often then not.
I am going to try cpu master see if that does work for me.
Yeah it's weird. Whether it sticks or not seems totally random.
Hi, I'm on stock 2.3.4 and tried using CPU Tuner, it seems the kernel still won't act accordingly to the max cap I set.
Just like when I use SetCPU, even with the slider set max to 1000 and "Set on boot" ticked, it still jumps to 1300 sometimes.
So the problem could be with kernel, but I don't really know

CPU at maximum frequency at all times

I am running faux's newest kernel on my att atrix, Allen build 4. I've noticed that upon cold reboot, the frequency scales correctly. after a while however, the phone stays at the max frequency. I've tried stopping running archives that I thought might be causing this, hit it doesn't help. Is it the kernel?

That's what I thought originally, but after killing all the apps that were running, it still stayed at the frequency.
I have a hypothesis, and i'm going to test it in a second. I think that when I plug my phone into my laptop dock, it for some reason locks the frequency at max.
EDIT: It's the webtop mode. If I plug the phone into my laptop dock, and open the laptop, the frequency is locked at maximum frequency. I'm going to flash the stock kernel again, and see what happens next.
EDIT2: So it's definitely faux's newest kernel. It might just be me, but it definitely is locking to max frequency. Stock does not have this problem.

I have seen the same behaviour. Just got my HD Dock yesterday. When I pulled it out it was warm/hot. I thought it was just the clock/screen using power or whatever. Then I opened SetCPU while in the dock and it showed a constant 1000Mhz. When I unplug it still shows that frequency. Too bad

I think this is a known issue with faux's new kernel. When you place the phone into a laptop dock it clocks the CPU at max until a reset. I guess the same thing happens with any dock
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
i have recently made a decision to delete the set cpu and install cpu masters from the market ,i think so for after 24 hours i think it does make a difference um
i notice lower temps even after an hour of useing the webtop or just an average temp overall i am useing the faux 2.0 kernal 1.3 oc but its set at 1.2
my profiles are screen off 456 max-216-min
the rest are 1200max 216-min
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I don't have a dock but I just installed _unknown's hdmi/webtop mod while running faux's enhanced stock 0.2.0. Noticed my phone was really hot after trying it out, even with the screen off and noticed a constant 1000 max. in setCPU.
Cleared my cache & dalvik, reinstalled kernel, jugg's battery fix, cleared my battery stats, rebooted into recovery (figured it wouldn't hurt since it defaulted to that option), then fixed permissions and restarted. Everything seems to be back to normal.
Will see what happens when I run the webtop again and report back later. Currently CPU is showing 36C and battery is at 32C. Are these acceptable temps?

Data wiped?

After fiddling with some undervolting settings, phone crashed, and rebooted. However, after rebooting, it crashed 2 more times without the under volt, and then rebooted once more with no data. All my apps are there, except they had no data in them, whatsapp had no messages etc.
Any ideas on how to recover?

It sounds like yes, the reboots basically wiped your data, much like how'd it be in a custom recovery. Moving forward, I'd recommend a combination of nandroid and Titanium backups. That's been my go-to combo for the past few months, and I've been able to get back from any snags I've had.
EDIT: Are the contents of your /sdcard folder wiped as well?
My sdcard hasn't been wiped, and I should mention that everytime it rebooted it had a green screen saying AT WATCHDOG BARK, or something similar, and pressing the power button would boot into the bootloader.
Unfortunately as I usually already undervolt, and have no issues with a global -100 mv I haven't done a Titanium backup in advance.

That happened to me once on my GNEX when I had FSYNC turned off. I'm not sure if you do or don't have it on, but that's a mistake I won't make again.
raise your voltages asap, undervolting isnt a good thing a large percent of the time. the phone needs certain voltages to run things, lowering the voltages below will stop your phone from running those things. for example, the radio(for phone calls) needs a certain minimal voltage, without that voltage you wont be able to receive/make calls while the device itself runs fine.
I'm running Faux 16tbu atm, and the green screen didn't specifically say things about HW Resets, more of the AT WATCHDOG BARK.
Thanks for the replies, but it still doesn't explain the data loss.
