Is there such thing as a safe overclock speed? Will my phone blow up for running it at 1.2 on a daily basis? (I searched for this topic but couldn't find anything specific to the glacier)
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
The cpu in this phone overclocks well. 1.2 definitely won't hurt it. I've known people who ran everyday at 1.5.
I have an excellent cable internet service, with wireless. As such, I don't notice a real difference when I'm on WiFi. I wouldn't want to overclock anymore than 1.2 to 1.4

I was wondering the same thing
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I'm just referring to the overall speed and performance of the handset. I haven't noticed any better performance with my phone being overclocked...isn't that the purpose of overclocking, to increase speed & performance? If not I am misunderstanding the purpose of overclocking?
I was just saying that with browsing and overall usage on my WiFi connection its hard to notice any changes whether I'm running at 1 GHz or 1.5 GHz ....

Overclocking doesn't speed up internet service though. It just speeds up scrolling through pages, windows, opening applications and overall performance within the applications and device.
I would get SetCPU, then you probably are fine up to 1.4 ghz. I really can't recommend pushing it higher because there isn't a noticable performance increase. I use SetCPU and i am clocked at around 122Mhz-1.3Ghz with a screen off profile of 122-768Mhz and a temperature profile of 32C> 122Mhz-1.0Ghz.
I know, a lot to take in but i get really good battery life with that stuff. If you get SetCPU, experiment.
Also, here are the take away messages.
1. USE SETCPU, ITS AWESOME
2.DON'T PUSH IT TO 2GHZ. YOU WILL FRY YOUR MOTHERBOARD
---If i have help, well you know the button to push---

I have been running at 1.2 for a year now and no problems whatsoever. Actually, what I have found has helped performance was to set the minimum CPU a little higher. It allows for a little less lag while your CPU is "spinning up." (I mean at 230, not at 500 or something)
1.2 is a very stable Overclock. You shouldn't run into any problems with that setting. Anything above 1.5 I wouldn't mess with, and you probably wouldn't see much of a real world speed increase from it anyway.

Recently got Droid X Overclock and have been playing with it. I've seen the CPU Benchmark and Quadrant threads, got some decent scores but seems to be most stabile @ 1300 Undervolting.
What exactly are the benefits, what's the difference between the voltages? Currently undervolting because my impression is it'll give me longer battery life, but read some threads saying it is somewhat a myth? Can anyone that truly understands this comment?
Im going to make this as simple as possible. I can only tell that it makes a difference in benchmarking.

Same here... lol
Neither of you can tell a difference with battery life?
I've been wanting to overclock/undervolt, but I was curious as well. Do I have to overclock each time I flash or upgrade a ROM? I'm currently on Liberty 1.0, but once they come out with an update would I need to overclock once again?
Thanks in advance.
I am on Apex 1.3 and have noticed increased battery life but not sure if its due to the ROM or undervolting.. will most likely check out Fission or Liberty tomorrow.

I OC/UV to 1.3 ULV settings in liberty lastnight. My phone has been on for 10 hours, display on with heavy use for about 45 mins, still at 90%. So far, that is a bit better then any other OC setting I used, and it's very stable. I noticed with other settings, I had weird reboots, so I think a lot of it depends on what works for your phone the best. I would test them out and see the results.
Now we have root on ARC, its high time we overclock it...
SetCpu doesn't work...

That's because you don't know how setCPU works apparently
It works perfectly, setCPU allow you to modify the frequency of the processor within the range allowed by the kernel.
So once again, we need a custom kernel that modifies the voltage and frequencies allowed for setCPU to go higher than 1Ghz.
Just curious why do you wan't to overclock the phone, is it to slow?
What will happen if you overclock:
- higher battery drain
- Phone gets really hot
- it makes the cpu unstable
I never overclocked my phones and even the hero still runs fast.

Yes you are right the maximum is 1024 cant go any further i didn't know that he meant to go above 1024
before open such threads you should know about overclocking, of course setcpu wont enable overclock with stock kernel, why should it???
Speed is something which we always want more .. If we get Dual Core with 1.2Ghz still we need to over to push the limit. That's human nature ....
I have got overclocked Xperia Neo and when it was on 1.8 ghz it was 1. stable 2. cold 3. and really fast! but when you start to play somethink yes then it is really hot and it drain a battery too much I think oc is good.

Just trial and error. I would start at 1.2ghz on stepping 5 and increase by 50mhz being sure to thoroughly test each clock rate.
Do NOT use the set on boot option until you are sure it is stable.

I ended up testing/benchmarking in 25mhz increments. I know it was a bit more time consuming, but I found that my NC could handle 1275 while using multimedia intensive apps, but a friend could get his up to 1325 running benchmarks and not rebooting.
I think we got in one or two runs at 1350, but it definitely wasn't stable. Broke 4200 in quadrant, for whatever that's worth.
I have it set at 1300 and performance and get 2582 how do you get 4200?

This was a fresh install with no other background tasks running. All we did was get the CM7 ROM loaded, OC Kernel and gapps.
I'll get some screenshots of his quad scores when he gets back from helping a buddy move. I think we took screenshots of everything 1250+. I might try getting a full reload working and see if I can break that barrier.
I'm running 1325 and the best score I can get is high 3100s.
Can you guys tell me what settings you have under performance menu?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
I got similar scores to them and I used the default settings In performance... I think its a matrer of what you have installed and your device. Also don't worry about quadrant scores they are not that important. If your nook runs smooth what does it matter?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
Each machine will have to be trial and error. Different device..even same hardware are really all different to one degree or another....example...I have 2 nooks..both running the same version of cm..and kernel...my second one never gets past 3200 on quadrant...go figure...same exact software running on both.
I did this test with benchmarks back to back on higher cpu frequencies, and i ended up with 1325 being the highest stable i could go. Very low 3000's for benchmarks in quadrent which dont mean anything of course, but there ya go. Runs like a champ.
Sorry for the ignorant reply...but what will overclocking actually do? I have a NC with a dual boot CM7 SDcard. Didn't do it, bought it from Jonathan on Ebay, works great!

Yes you can use Tegrak Overclock (Ultimate) from the market, works on stock kernels
But be very carefull with your voltages, you are warned!
Do you maybe have good settings for the program?

Can i leave the voltage standart and only set the cpu to 1.5 or 1.6

You might want to look in the kernel threads (FM kernel, Abyss, etc) in development, there is enough info concerning your question, and yes you can underclock with tegrak.
With tegrak you can use any cpu speed you want, is not fixed to a few settings.

One useful thing to do is underclock and undervolt. This phone works perfectl in 1.0ghz with -50 voltage on all clocks and a maximum of 500mnz with screen off, and itll save u a lot of battery.

Someone suggested that I start a thread on the current overclocking situation on the TF300 so here it is!
Yes, the stock kernel supports overclocking to 1.5ghz
*Must be rooted
The best option at this point is the ezoverclock tool that is also being used for the TF201. This app allows you to overclock in a matter of seconds for free.
1. Download and install the .apk
.apk can be found on this page along with DrWowe who created the tool for the TF201 be sure to send him a thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526311
2. Open the app- allow su permissions
3. Make sure the highest setting is set to 1.6ghz. *note, while it says 1.6ghz you will only achieve 1.5, if you set it to 1.5 you will only obtain 1.4ghz. This is due to the fact that the app was build for the TF201 not the TF300)
4.Reboot- Enjoy your now overclocked Transformer Pad!
The AnTuTu overclock master tool has also been tested and confirmed working. Dimply download the app from the play store, open it and allow su permissions. Then set the settings to you liking. However I was getting slightly lower AnTuTu benchmarks while using this method. Probably because the governors are junk (like most overclocking apps).
I am sure there are other methods that are working but these two seem to be the most popular and best available! If you have anything to add feel free to comment or PM me and I will add it to the post. Happy overclocking!
**I take no credit for creating either of these tools, I am simply making it eaiser and more accessable to other TF300 users. I am also not responsible if your tablet blows up while using either of these tools.
Antutu overclock master tool not needed at all. all that's needed is that EzOverclock app. then also the free app from play store called CPU Spy. this is the true way of confirming whether the overclock it really active or not. as it will show whether its active or inactive.
if you want an app to mess around with governors, scale sliders, etc... the app called System Tuner Pro is the best. they have a free version also which works fine. this app is every system tweak app, speed tweaking rolled into one. alot more in depth than setcpu or that Antutu tool. check it out. tons of stuff to play with in there.

Already used CPU soy to confirm the ezoverclock tool as working as well as sticking though .reboots
I'm using antutu cpu master to underclock the device, I have it on max. 1ghz and min. 102mhz. It seems to spend more time in the lower steppings since I made that change (according to cpuspy). I'm still trying it out, to see if it will work for me and save some battery. I also have ezoverclock, I set balanced on 1ghz no need for higher clock since every game I've played runs great.

I have been using ezoverclock with the lowest setting at 1ghz. I seem to be getting much better battery life then stock this way. If I end up needing more power I simply click the performance button that Asus built in. Seems to be working great! It is a great feeling when you are able to under clock and still have plenty of processing power

It is using more battery, although it does not seem to be a huge difference. If you do not need the overclock simply click on balanced mode to save some power. If you are like me and play hard core games on high detail then turn on performance mode when needed.
