If anyone out there has overclocked there phone, does it still run well after a few months etc.
I plan on rooting and overclocking to 1.5ghz (on demand) and just want to know if it will wreck the phone after months of use. I am aware overclocking is not recommended for long periods but just want to see if people have had hardware issues after prolonged overclocking..
Thanks in advance

Its not the clockspeed you need to worry about. It's voltages that can damage the H/W.

So using SetCPU to 1.5GHz changes the voltage?

Well the higher the clockspeed the higher the voltage. Kernels like doomlords allow you to undervolt though. Keep in mind if you reduce voltage too much though, device will become unstable and reboot alot

Im currently running at 1.5GHz and have IncrediControl running undervolt at 1200 (tested for few hours seems OK so far)
Does this mean I am correctly undervolted and are these settings ok for battery life/temp etc

If it has been running well so far, I don't think you need to worry.
Just wanted to make sure undervolting doesnt cause damage to the cpu and battery

Undervolting wont damage the CPU. As long as it's stable, the less voltage the better

Tiamat kernel w smartass governor
It was suggested somewhere in the general forum not too long ago that the newer Linux kernels are less battery efficient, at least with respect to the Evo, and I tend to agree.
With constant use I was able to only use 10% connected to Wifi but now it's nearly 20% use, again in a constant setting on Wifi.
You can try running an app like "watch dog lite" and seeing if an app is causing an issue.
You can do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712990 which really works.

Run the stock kernel.

OK.First of all,I'm sorry if there is a same thread like this.So show a screenshot of Set CPU or whatever application you use to overclock and post a screenshot of it.

oh god, not another thread
I usually use smartass though..
Btw what app are you using? Is that setcpu?

You stuck Max and min to 729 MHz? Wow that must drain battery like crazy......

Lol yeah. Why not set governor to performance instead?
My phone becomes unstable above 748. Is it because i'm using stock kernel?

I am sure you can take this to the numerous threads already open on this topic.

Ive installed a custom rom (foxhound) but my volts stay between 4150-4250 is this normal. thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yes unless the romor kernel has voltage adjustments or apps to do suc.

I don't think he's talking about cpu voltages, none are that high.
What are you talking about op, clarification please.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
He's talking about battery voltages, which are normal on a charged phone without load.
On android assitant is reading on battery 4150 -4250 mv. my temps r normal. has going down 3700-3850 mv.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
im getting around 4328 mv with full charge. may be you can go a bit higher.
wot temps do u get on charge im getting up to 46 on charge. thats with the offical charger.

I was messing arround with overclocking and undervolting. after f*****g up my app data with a "bad" undervolt I had a look at overclocking and I get over 100oC and still rising running at 1.7GHz is this normal? I have a fast binned chip
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Also getting over 80oC on stock!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Well the bar only goes up to 100
What does that tell you.
Bring down your oc dude.
The CPU safety threshold is 110.
Meaning if it gets to 110 your phone will shut itself down to prevent damage
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Thats all I wanted to know ... But 80+oC is insane for stock!
After undervolting its 75-78oC but that 3x more than my gaming PC!!! (And 2x the GPU temp)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Well what are you doing to cause this heat. On both screenshots you are showing Max load. Max CPU freq at quad core. Of course your CPU is going to be overheating.

if you wanna go mental with O/C, you should go for watercooling or liquid N2
haha, although I did apply thermal compound to my galaxy 5 and it was a lot cooler (it has a metal thing that is conveniently over the CPU
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
While gaming (or what ever you are doing to get it that high) have someone stand behind the phone with an upside down can of compressed air blowing on the back of the phone. This should help.

Hello all,
I recently flashed Ktoonz kernels and used the Ktweaker to set it to Performance. When I ran a Quadrant test after rebooting I was more than surprised. The numbers were much lower than a stock kernel. Any one know if I possibly did something wrong? This is the Quadrant score I have and also a shot of the Ktweaker. Thanks.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Do not ever go by quadrant, if the phone feels smoother and faster then it is smoother and faster.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Okay. So what exactly is it that Quadrant is used for then? I always thought it was used to test the speed of the device?

Its a bragging rights thing really, any developer will tell you its completely pointless. Real life usage is what matters. For instance when forcerom came out it had problems with getting 6000 quadrants but was running smooth.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Okay, thanks a lot! Yeah it definitely does feel faster and smoother. Just hoping that with the performance kernel I still get some good battery life.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yeah if the phone is.fast for you. You shouldn't be concerned about scores.
