Overclockin - Droid X General

So what is a safe temp for the battery to be running when you overclock the x. I think I red somewhere that the battery can handle up to 65 degrees c. Also does the x have the cpu temp monitoring probe? I thought I heard that the x doesn't?

Highest mines been was 104° Farenheit while overclocking to 1.45... Usually its around 89° F

Wow ok so temps that high are acceptable? I was a little worried when mine was running around the low 40's. Seems that the battery door gets pretty warm around that temp.

What are you using to overclock? Normal operation on my x without being overclocked, under load of course like streaming music and video, I see temps around 38 celsius.

Acceptable?? Sort of. Just because the phone CAN run at that high of a temperature does not mean it should be run for extended periods of time. Excessive heat is bad for any type of electronics. If you are OC'ing to the max, I would try lowering it a bit to see if it works good and the phone does not heat up so much.

They go into cool down mode at 140

How hot do you run?

Currently at 102.2F as reported by setcpu widget while plugged in and using it for the past half hour or so. Seems kinda high to me, what's everyone elses experience?

Well when its plugged in it will be warmer than normal. Right now my phone has been on with constant texting and random other usage all day long and I am at 80.6 degrees
My phone stays in the mid 90s and early 100s with regular use. It only gets in the 80s if I leave it completely alone for an hour or so.

I stay mostly in the 80s and can get into the 90s with heavy use. Don't think I've ever passed 100, but there's a chance something like psx4droid could have pushed me up. I average about 86F.

Do you use the SetCPU profiles? You could set one to underclock the processor while charging.

I do, its set to 800mhz when charging. 600mhz if it gets above 104F regardless of charging or not. Leaving it alone on the charger for the last half hour the temp shows 92F. Just firing up Xda app and typing this out the temp has jumped to 98F in about a min of use.

Are you guys using SetCPU for profiles and overclocking, or are you just using it for checking temps and current speed?
These are the droids you are looking for.

I was using it to check temps for this but I use 2 profiles, which may help my temps (def helps my batt). The default profile is 1000 max, 300 min, on demand. The other is when my screen is shut off, 300 max, 300 min. I've found this has saved me a pretty sizeable chunk of battery. I tend to listed to music 7-8 hours a day and while it doesnt need full CPU it will use it if it gets the chance. Restricting the proc to 300 off has never caused any issues and I can get from 8am - 4 or 5pm staying over 70% battery I have the unstable apps overclock and used it for a while, but kinda came to the conclusion that I can't really justify needing to overclock yet as I never see any lag. I guess if I run into any lag at some point I'll prob clock back up to 1.3 or so.

I did overclock, but it ran way too hot, like 107F during normal use and didnt get below 100 dormant. 1gig is high enough to me. I have it set to underclock when charging or when below 50% battery or when above 104F.

Only other idea I have is downloading Droid Overclock and try running at low or ultra low voltage. Make sure to make a backup first. And try low before ultra low. Individual devices can be picky about a lower voltage and can go into a bootloop if it can't run on a lower voltage. Droid Overclock has profiles like SetCPU.

Safe battery temp

I didn't see an answer for this anywhere. What is the maximum temp this phone can safely handle before it starts getting damaged? It's starting to get warmer and i want to know when i should start to be concerned.

Be concerned when it enters the 100's(F), which it gets to while charger sometimes at high freqs and around 110ish. With normal use mines stays in the 90's or 80's.

I think it got up to 114 once and I had pulled of the battery cover and held it in front of the ac til it hit 85 degrees.

What freqs do you use on your MT4G? According to your sig you have MIUI, no?
That rom should run fine on Scary/Conservative instead of demonspeed or smartass. Temps will be lower with Scary/conserv governor enabled.

Odd..Unless the phone is kept in a warm or hot area, and is being used heavily too. Under 1GHz the temps should be fine, do you use the phone a lot?
mine hit mid 160's one day when my charger didn't stop charging (was at 99% for a couple hours) didn't do any damage, still on original battery and seem to get decent battery life on fusion/faux 0.7 kernal.

OMG i would be in a panic if i saw battery temp that high! I get concerned over 110.
my phone overheated to the point where parts of the touchscreen wouldnt respond. after it cooled down...everything was fine.
i got this when using assisted gps....

You're putting the HW parts at risk..Especially the CPU which can fail from those temps, this isnt a desktop CPU which has cooling to help the chip. These mobile chips shouldnt stay at those ranges. How can you even hold the phone at those temps? That's just crazy IMHO.

i realized that...i wasnt trying to keep the phone at that temp, it just suddenly happened...as soon as i noticed...i turned off the phone and pulled the battery.
the phone wasnt that hot...its the cpu

I see, well do you use OC too or normal frequency range? I used to have a Sammy before the MT4G, and it would get really warm even w/o changes to CPU clock(But it uses Conserv. by default). These 1GHz+ chips generate lots of heat, I wonder if this is related to those bad EMMCs failing too...

[Q] Battery temperature levels

What would be the temperature of the phone when overheating?
Sometimes it feels like the temperature is very high but I don't know if it's overheating or not. The maximum I had was 36.0°C/96.8°F.
how can you tell? the phone temp keeps staying at 0C...

i have setcpu profile set to: >37 °C 600 mhz so it usually never goes higher than maybe 38°C
if you think its hot if must be around 40° or more
Lol today mine went up to 49°C
Really hot

Overheat

I can't hold it its too hot srsly last version was better now it worse 39.0°

Typo? 39 degrees is only just above body temp?

? Dude you have problems lol my battery gets to be around 45c and CPU much higher.
Not even hot. Get a case.

You must be looking at the battery temperature.
Use system tuner or something to check the actual CPU temp.
If it's hot when phone is supposed to be idling or doing simple tasks you must have a run away app or something causing it.
Also check you haven't left the governor set to performance or anything like that.

[Q] Nexus 7 getting too hot

Hey
I bought my nexus 7 about three days ago and I think I have an issue.
When browsing the internet or watching a movies my nexus can reach 35c and when playing tegra 3/Gameloft games it reaches 39-40c is it normal? Happens to all?
It's little annoying and I can't enjoy these games....
Any ways to solve this problem?
What are you talking about, thats waay to low, my OC-ed nexus 7 can reach upto 70c and about 69c should be the top limit, 50c is usual temp, or atleast it should be when browsing

What the hell? 70 celsius ? you can cook with your NEXUS 7 LOL
How you deal with it?
well you know, undervolt for about -100mv, which is pretty stable, if necessary lower my oc to 1.5 ghz and it never crosses 63-64
sorry if i offend you with this question, but is it possible that you were looking at your battery temp, not cpu?
because usually those temps are from the battery, it seems just too low for almost a high end device (atleast it was)

Yes I mean battery temp
minecraft
I have had the same issues with the heat on my device. I notice it gets pretty warm quick right where the rear camera is and also the glass gets pretty hot too. I been playing minecraft and it heats up quick, I checked the battery temp with an app and it reached to 31C. This was from playing for about 15 minutes. Browsing the net or watching youtube doesn't have much effect but watching a video with the browser did make the device pretty warm. I gotta admit when playing games its pretty uncomfortable.
Even 40c isn't that hot for an electronic device. I remember my old Galaxy S 4G used to get a battery temperature of 52+ while charging and playing guns n glory in a non air conditioned guard house. Every so often I'd stick it in our mini fridge for a few mins to cool it down.
I would've loved to see how hot that poor processor got, but battery temp was the only one you could check on that device.
