Fun with extended battery - Galaxy S II General

Battery life is one option or... the official extended battery that doesn't make the phone gigantic and the following settings can make the phone like an overclocked core I 7
The following settings make the phone so smooth, no super tweaked governor beats this
Also the gpu is locked at 267. Nice with the f1 ics rom with working gpu acceleration.

Damned man, this is an incredible tweak... One of the best useful one for making your phone hottest and burn out components more quickly than Flash.
Nice dangerous tip mate

You sure?
My phone feels cold. All over...
The fool picture is funny.
Take his advice unless your weather is something like this.

Had an experiment with the interactive governor.
Got thinking maybe even if there's no obvious heat coming out of the phone the CPU PWM's might start screaming for mercy as they are not designed to be loaded for extended periods of time.
This seems to be surprisingly just as responsive as the 1.4ghz locked performance setting.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

so you want the phone to run overclocked at a permanent 1.4?
And you think thats a good thing for it?

I think I posted something at 12:26 a whole 12 minutes before your post where I did express a change of heart over the whole perm 1.4ghz idea.
In any case, if there is any actual evidence based on fact and science specific to the capabilities of the hardware in the sgs2 as to whether or not running high frequency at all times would damage the pwm's it'd be appreciated.

no, you said you were trying something else. Not that your original idea was stupid

I thought SGN used the same chip as S2, so shouldn't exynos 4210 be able to run 1.4 Ghz out of the box? It'll suck up a lot of battery though.

I am all for SGS2 users to boldly go forth with mods .
Just let us know at what point it explodes .
Overclock = heat and wear of components however will they wear out before you change your phone ??
jje

Yeah the sgn is the same cpu clocked to 1.4, however it does have space for a bigger battery

is it clocked to ONLY run at 1.4? Doubt it

Will probably have to start puttin the phone in the fridge..................

Nice to see at least 2 or 3 people post comments here relevant to the topic instead of fishing out useless remarks and insults. (Which seems to be the norm on XDA allot these days)
Ah so there is another product clocking at 1.4 stock. Good to hear.
My own research into the components haven't yielded anything concrete yet.
What I did find is that the maxim max8997 does have 7 step down convertors and 21 linear regulators.
I wonder if that means it has a 7 stage pwm? Who knows.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

OK looks like its the max8627 from maxim ic.
The chip has a Max load of 3.5 watts however in practice we must take car not to exceed the chips maximum dissipation of 1457mw or milliwatts.
Basically this is our total phone power draw envelope. Now I will begin figuring out what our limits are. Could be use full for people ovrrclocking up to 1697mhz.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I also do wonder about the age span of components when you do such experiments. At the very least if you do wear it out, the Galaxy S3 will be available (and if you do not want that one the S2 will be selling cheaper on ebay lol)

i think samsung under clocked the phone to save battery life

hey what kind of battery are you using,
tell me the capacity of the battery you are using

Overclocking is a bad idea for such a powerful phone in a compact design with no heat dissipation. My computers overclocjed to 5ghz but that's coz its water cooled. I would suggest if you want to use 1400mhz set it to a high threshold so its only used when absolutely necessary. A permanent overclock WILL damage your components

HTC vs Epic why???

This might not be the right fourm but could someone please tell me why HTC phones are twice as fast than the Epic on linpack? I've tried a EVO and a Droid Incredible, both get a score of 32.500! Why?
Because JIT is optimized for Snapdragon processors, you see more performance boosts with those phones. However, mere benchmarks do not translate to real world performance whatsoever. My Epic is faster than any phone that's out there. Never go by benchmarks, lot of them are as useless as the Windows Experience Index crap. Our phones have the better hardware, when official Froyo is out and devs get the source, you'll see how powerful it really is.
Because linpack performance does not equal real life performance.... I also recall reading that linpack has not been optimized for the epic's processor. However, try 30 seconds using an evo and compare it to the epic and you'll have your actual answer
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I think they are a 128 bit system versus 64 bit. But all I hear from evo user is the epic is faster

Just like cars, there's always someone faster...I think it is pure ignorance to state you alone have the fastest phone in the whole world. *shrug* For me my user experience is awesome and i know firsthand that benchmarks don't tell the whole story and can be faked. With tmpfs and a little knowhow anyone can 3000+ on quadrant.
Sent on the go from my mobile device
I didn't mean to come across as arrogant. I didn't mean I alone have the fastest phone in the world at all. I meant with everything that's out in terms of OC'd kernels, Epic owners in general have faster phones than practically any other out there (currently). Benchmarks are not high, but that does not translate to real world performance which is what I was getting at.
Essentially what has been said before: Linpack has been compiled and optimized for the other processor. Someone has to write code for each specific processor in order for it to take advantage of each one's architecture. Back when Intel's Nahalem chips came out, similar results were observed (I used to build HPC clusters).
Try nenamark1. The epic smokes the evo in that test
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Simple, linpack is a test checking for raw CPU power via floating points..Snapdragon has a thing called a VFP which is a Floating Point Accelerator...
Aka instead of checking raw CPU power of the CPU..your checking how fast the the VFP processes floating points lol..
To give an example, its like one person actually taking a test, while the other is copying off an answer sheet..who will be the fastest?
If you go by benchmarks that have not had their code optimized for the Snapdragon, where it is more apples to apples (it will never be completely apples to apples), the Hummingbirds generally come out on top.
Plus, if you look at gaming, the FPS on the Hummingbird is much faster. Of course, CPU and graphics benchmarks are quite different.
It has a keyboard
Thread moved to General.
I'm pretty new to android phones but I did my homework before i decided on my epic. My wife wanted the Evo for the larger MP camera and bigger screen so we ended up with one of each. Form the time i've spent on my wife's evo and the time she has spent with my Epic we both have to agree that the Epic preforms far better in realworld test. The scrolling is smother and it has a better overall experience than the evo. So forget about benchmarks... just try one head to head and you'll see which one is the better device..
I've said this before and will say it again. My rooted evo with cm6 and oced to 1.12 ghz isn't as smooth as my epic was out the box. My evo gets 1500 on quadrent while my epic gets 1100 with no jit. Now you tell me wich phone is faster?

ice cream sandwich for atrix?

hi all,
I went through search and did not find much about this question on my mind for this week.
its been bootloader unlocked and having gingerbread source code available.
I wonder whether atrix will get community build of ics.
i am honestly bored of f***ed up power management of android on dual cores.
i dont know what is problem here but
NVIDIA is not fixing their heating issues.
GOOGLE is not fixing up power management of android on multicore hard ware.
MOTOROLA the great we know ,is slow and lazy ass to move forward in ics for atrix.
i hate the day when i decided about buying atrix.
its bloody radiator and its heating temp. of 54celcius on normal use.
I am using cherryblur 1.4d and faux 123's optimised 1ghz kernel both latest.
i tried undervolting as well but it still heats up crazy.
I am honestly bugged with it.
may be I am totally wrong about my understanding.
i have samsung focus running mango and i prefer it for casual netbrowsing than my atrix.
I hate the NVIDIA for its heating legacy.
I swear on name of god that i wont touch anything with any kind of nvidia inside.
can we expect atrix to get better power management with ice cream sandwich which supposedly optimized for multicore processing.
I also for a brief time had both heating and battery issues with an over clocked kernel I decided to go to a kernel which was not overclocked I'm getting good battery life with no power management apps running and I never overheat anymore. Maybe ur issues can be improved with a new rom and Kernel?

Its not question of availability.have they upgraded all their androids to latest versions? I dont think so.

When company is already putting out atrix2, do you think we will get ics that easily.?
I will be happiest of lot even if they declare that they are going to upgrade ATRIX to ics.

Kindly share the rom.
My main grudge is why do they not optimize their software to get benefited out of dual core processing? ??
As I am not even remotely related to programming or anything with engineering,I understand it may take time to optimize.
but for company like Google how difficult is it to optimize their code for multicore processing???

drpratik: well... IIRC, didn't Google buy, or semi-merge with Motorola? That could help with the speed of things. Not to mention the supposed steps that are taking place in order to try to get devices up to date much more efficiently than the current pace allows.
As for optimization for dual-core phones.... you DO realize that there wasn't a SINGLE dual-core android device, let alone a phone, until the Motorola Xoom made it's debut, right? Which came out with Honeycomb... which is more than likely designed to use dual-core CPU's. There aren't really that many updates to previous Android versions shy of bug fixes when a new version of Android comes out. And seeing as ICS will be the first NEW Android OS for cell phones since Gingerbread, i'm sure we'll probably see it sooner or later... but probably sooner. Either officially, or from a modded ROM.
I do appreciate your response and that both ATRIX and XOOM run on same tegra2 platform.
I agree that optimization takes time.
But tegra 2 is out for at least 18 months.
I have high hopes for ics.what I dont like is android can't see the second core also forget utilizing.if android is not able to see also then why not throttle it down and put it into hibernate and use only when software can take benefit it.
I thought my battery is bad.I started using new battery but same result.
Back to point-- Google has bought Motorola for its patents portfolio to fight off apple attack and I will be really happy if this relationship proves fruitful for end users.
Lets hope for best.

Went thru 3 (Three) batteries tonight

Went to Bears game .Took 3 batteries with me all full at 4PM. Was using a Sprint MiFi hotspot .
its now 10PM...all batteries are dead.
Paranoid Android CM's latest which sucks as it is in the battery dept
This thing monumentally sucks...battery. More evident now thsn ever in light of my Nexus 7...which rocks.

Hahahaha..... go get a $15 phone from wal mart....battery life is great on those

The note is not the problem it's your rom. Try a Samsung based custom rom and you'll get better results. I'm getting 4h-5h screen on time with rocket rom and speedmod kernel (using one battery )
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
1. Buy / prepare more battery. three batteries for 6 hours, means for 12 hours you will need 6 batteries.
2. Buy $15 phone at walmart as suggested by alewis2k12, so you will have spare phone if the note goes dead. :victory:
3. Try other ROM + Kernel, to find the most suitable to your device.
I have everything updating at minimum times and BT.GPS Wifi and data on all the time and don't go through a battery in a waking day. I went through one and a half on a flight from SC to LA Using the phone the whole way for internet access and a movie.
Im thinking the OP needs to switch ROMS or buy a Nokia 6126 which lasts about a week

Governor was 'powersaver'!
Data usage/battery drain is huge at events like that where tower usage is saturated and your taking pictures and sending etc.
I knew that...but this drain was unreal.
Granted, its an exaggerated example of how poor battery life is on this device...but a viable example nonetheless.
The Note's battery life sucks.
The Nexus 7....bigger screen, also rooted with same custom Rom puts it to shame.
Wise up to it Sammy.
good point, however powersavor governator is not a powersaver lol, but as you mentioned not main cause.

1. Not Samsung's fault. You're on a ROM that Samsung cannot be held directly responsible for.
2. Nexus 7 is a Device with a different spec, for valid Comparison use another GT-N7000.
3. Go Stock and Report Again - Use the Original Battery.
If you're building case remember to make sure you're under Samsung's Terms of usage. I hope you all remember about the phone that blew up and user brought it up to the media's attention, and later on it was discovered that it was the user's fault (As he was trying to heat a soaked phone from an Oven).
If you're looking for help or assistance, Then I suggest you take it to the Paranoid Android Thread. I'm sure, there are users besides the General Audience that can help you out or users that may share the same issue that you have faced.
Just my N7000 cents.
Well, tablets have considerably larger batteries than smartphones, so that's not really fair.
Also, It's probably safe to assume you aren't running the same apps on either, so apps could easily be blamed.
Instagram, for example, has been known to be a battery drainer unless killed.
As others posted, I also get all day, in general, using PA - although you didn't post which version.
If you have screen display set that low, and your screen time is still the largest (what % is that, by the way? largest could still be just say, '30%'),
then I'd put your batteries under suspect. Some of the knockoffs have very little charge, regardless of what they advertise.

yeah.
I think you should bring up this issue on the Paranoid Android forums.
They sure can help you regarding this battery life issue, especially the developer, coz he will know the tweaks and changes he made on his ROM.
Rather than you blame on the device, which at the end, sammie won't held any responsible for using a custom ROM.
It has been observed that the MediaScanner is taking most of the battery in ParanoidAndroid Roms. Try stopping that.
Also you can replace the kernel and use Asylum insanity kernel to get better battery life.

Hey Zarboz you planning on getting one of these?
btw I usually would put more emphasis on touch responsiveness and UI smoothness/consistent framerate as compared to benchmark scores However benchmark scores of this phone do show that it is in a whole other class compared to any other phone out right now... but I guess it is the first of the next generation, just like the One X was
We'll have to see what the rest are like, especially the GS4
For sure sg4 will be plastic as usually, with a bunch of stuff like multi windows, s vocie and so on that i turn off, just to save battery. Really, samy does it cheaper... Also twz is ugly and boring.

Use phone x, y and z and observe the performance.
My experiences in Quadrant... Transform SDXed out: 500+, Evo Shift OCd 1500ish, EVO3d OCd 3900
Each phone was that much faster for games and real world use, mostly.
The outlier was the Transform, butter smooth on the UI. Better than the EVO3d on the homescreen stock. But totally crap for most anything games.
Yeah... I'm about to jump ship and come back to HTC.

Put it like this. Car A can travel at a maximum speed of 100km/h while car B can travel 150km/h
the numbers are the benchmarks. Car B is faster so car A wins.
The reason why they say benchmarks are useless because let's put Car B to real life use.
Car B has 150km/h speed but would you use it in driving the streets? If yes then good luck on the speed limit cameras.

Well... yes... but there can sometimes be an indirect effect on things like battery life. If a chipset is capable of doing more processing for the same amount of power, that likely means it can do the same amount of processing with less power, which means the battery will last longer.
Also, once apps start to become more demanding in the future - more complex 3D games that come out in a year or so - the phones that are faster in the benchmarks now will be able to play newer games for longer before hitting frame-rates that are too low to be enjoyable.
Think of it as car B having a more powerful engine, which lets it go up steeper hills while carrying the same load.

It depends where you want to draw the line, more performance with less stability, or slight increase of performance and good stability. The S3 was 40% overclockable, i think 2.1ghz was the max, althoug im not sure it was stable and cool at those speeds

Ya but as far as i know on the s3 that ended up being a math error in the kernel and it was really only 1.9ish.
This device might get really hot..

No it was not. Even today's kernels can go up to 2.1

Shrug.. believe whatever you want.. but there was alot of discussion a while back in ktoonsez kernel thread about it as he fixed some math that they all used for the s3 kernels that was giving out the wrong frequency, thus the 2.1 clock speed.
Feel free to believe yours is actually 2.1 though!

Math was fixed. Ive seen maybe two people with 2.1 tho highly unstable. Very highly unstable

Even though the GS4 already is clocked at 1.9 GHZ what are the possibilities for overclocking? 2.3 GHZ?

The people with great CPU's and good heat dissipation will probably be able to hit 2.7 Ghz. :good:

lol noob he didnt prove me wrong, i was talking about the s3... go back under your rock
Samsung SoC are never the same, as evidenced with the S3. I would expect the S4 will be the same.
There will be an extremely small amount of people who will be able to push there CPU a hundred hertz or two higher do to luck of the batch, but other then that I would guess stable OC's at 2.3 to 2.4ghz. The hardware in the GS4 is top notch so I have high hopes for it! If I can slam 2.2ghz stable for a couple months solid, I would be tickled ^^

2.1ghz is possible on S3, go check in 747 forums and see for yourself

Can we please stay on track? This isn't the S3 forum. I understand you have a point to make but so does everyone else but in the right section. Just take it to private messages :angel:
Not trying to be a **** but this S3 discussion needs to stop so we can discuss S4 overclocking.

We are on track, evolution on the S3 can probably be taken into consideration for the S4. Stop being to soft about where the thread is heading. Like ktoon said himself, 2.7 on the S4, that does look like the 40% i was referring to about the S3. So my point is made and it does have a lot to do with this thread.

Basically this sums it up... most noobs out there who know nothing about the s3 think it ran at 2.1 because the math error was not fixed for a very long time. Once it was fixed, only a couple of people with a golden processor could actually set the dial to 2.1, and even those people crashed within a couple of minutes.
Not gonna argue with a known troll... loved watching your angry rewrites of your post over and over though!
As to talking about the s3, it was being discussed as a comparison... if the s3 can overclock X much, then the s4 can probably do something similiar. Since ktoonsez was nice enough to take a guess at what the s4 will do, we dont have to speculate as much now.
HAHAHAHAH, known troll!!! HAHAHAHAH Good one!
You just messed up, you cannot live with the fact that i was right and you were wrong. I never did say it was stable, you just assumed i did. You just cannot say "hey polish, i'm sorry for being such a newb, you were right, the S3 can run a 2.1ghz and that math problem turned out to be fixed anyways"
The difference between me and you is that I speak the truth, you in the other hand call others noobs when clearely, you are the noob here and to try and save yourself, you try to make other look bad.

Bump?
I feel like this thread was never answered. I have recently rooted my phone for the first time, and I have been trying to overlook it with no such luck. I watched a few videos, and even posted a thread on Linus Tech Tips, but they are not as focused on phones as this site is. They sent me here and wished me luck on overclocking my phone. So to get to them point, I have no clue how to overclock my GS4 SGH-I337 on AT&T. I did successful root it, and I used root checker to make sure. I am hoping that you guys can help me, or redirect me to a forum that may have already explained in detail how to overclock.
Thanks!
