Permanent Brick through OC ? - Xperia Play General

I would love to know how many people have hardware bricked their xplay through extreme Overclocking. You will hear many warnings about bricking your phone through OCing on the forums but I don't know of one person who has actually done it. I always feel a little uncomfortable when I OC my devicedue to the fear of hardware failure.

Ive been running mine overclocked to 1.5Ghz for about 24hrs now with no issue
Between 1.2 and 1.5 are the safe operating parameters for the Xperia Play. It differs from handset to handset though. Yours might be unstable at a lower overclock than mine for example.
Best thing to do if you plan on OCing is to try it in increments to find the limit for your Play. If it starts acting unstable at say, 1.5Ghz, then set it to the setting below that (1.4)

1,6 is save for me at 2,0 GhZ it stocked and i have to restart my phone^^

OC
It's like PC CPU overclocking. When you give it too high frequency, it may reboot. Here is potential hazard. If the phone don't turn off, it can burn your phone CPU. But there also (like on PC) many things, that may prevent crash.

You can always use the app Stability Test from Android Market to see which OC speed is best for your phone.

1.9ghz with all governors and I/O settings work for me.
Once I select 2.0ghz the phone shuts off. I never changed voltage values. Perhaps a bump in voltage would get me to 2.0ghz?
I'm not so keen on taking such a risk anyway.
I do think not all Xperia Plays are created equally and consider myself lucky to reach 1.9ghz. The only time I overclock it that high is when I'm using N64oid or GTA3 to prevent occasional lag.
I think 1.6ghz is the sweetspot for most phones.

It's interesting that not a single person has replied saying it has actually caused hardware failure, just instability and a reboot

One time that I overclocked mine at 1.9 GHz and let it run a stress test it froze after a while and didn't reboot until I removed the battery, but it didn't get damaged even though it got pretty hot. Weird...

No, I put OC in the kernels as I understand people use over locking. However, I don't offer any higher that 1.6GHz as higher than that dramatically reduces the lifespan of the device.

I have cooked a few graphics cards in my time so never push my play more than 1.6 ghz I dont want this badboy to break in any way

I have to use 1.6 using doomkernal with smartass. If I go any higher then that, Dolphin Mini won't load properly :/

So who has run their phone at 1.4ghz or above for say a year or more?
My PC has been running an OC of about 30% for about 2 years. I know it will shorten the lifespan of my hardware, but who will keep a PC for 10 years anyway. It will be a dinosaur by then.
If I get 2 years from my phone that is enough

I don't see the point of overclocking all the time... for battery saving if nothing else...(?) Maybe the preinstalled R800i UK stock ROM is better and less bloated than what some people get, but 1GHz with the Snapdragon is fine for general use... web browsing, Shadowgun, Asphalt 6, FIFA, Riptide ... all ran well when I wasn't even rooted. Those games are sold for our phones anyway...
But 1.7GHz is definitely over the limit for me as well. Freeze / reboot after a few minutes.

Since Im using DoomKernel my phone is allways overclocked and i have no problems
For daily usage im using MAX 1,3 / MIN 1,0 and GOUV: Smartassv2 or Powersave.
Only for Quadrant tests sometimes i really set it to 1,8 GHZ

if you run the device overclocked and at maximum cpu it will generate additional heat and wear on the internal components. the build-in cooler is not designed to dissipate this heat, thus shortening the device's lifespan. besides that it shortens batterylife.

Been running overclocked to 1152000 since yesterday. Battery not noticably different. Using SetCPU which downclocks when Streak is not doing anything. Nice benchmark results, smooth as butter interface, games run very sweetly, no crashes. Indeed it may shorten device life but not outside acceptable boundries. Obviously if you go crazy with it it will do some damage. Bit like a Turbo vs Nitrous?

that seems reasonable. max overclock would be around 1.3 ghz i presume.
the snapdragon does frequency stepping so there wouldnt be any need to use a program for that.

What is the Max Overclock?

Hey guys whats the max overclock that the Aria can be set to? I had CM6 on mine and had the overclock widget from the market and the max that the sliders went to was 600... But I have Liberty FR008 on it now and i still have the overclock widget but the max that the sliders goes to now is 864... I tried overclocking to 864 but it froze and something went wrong so i had to flash a backup i made. My overclock options right now are 245, 400, 480, 600, 768, 787, 806, 825, 844, & 864... Has anyone tried to over clock the Aria past 600? and did you have any problems with it? Thanks for any help.
-Cpl. T. King
I dont think the cm6 kernal allows for over clocking. I have the latest liberated rom and overclocked to 806 which is the recomended max setting by the dev.

The CM 6.1 kernel most certainly does support over-clocking. The CM 6.1 kernel was used as the basis for the Liberated FR008 kernel.
Maybe I was thinking about 6.0. Whatever one I had, I could only over clock to 600.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
6.0 didn't allow overclocking, 6.1.1 does though. I overclock my Aria to 806mHz and underclock it to the lowest setting when the phone's screen is off so I don't tire out the processor. 806mHz is really good, it puts the phone at the level of the G2 or the Shift 4G...and because I usually run Edge w/3G when downloading, WiFi if available, my battery is really good. Probably about 14 hours of normal (good) usage.
I wouldn't overclock it higher, you risk burning the processor out.
I'm OCd to 825 on-demand and the phone runs very nicely. 245 when screen off
825 is not recommended I don't think. 806 seems to be the sweet spot.

Suit yourself. Just saying 806 is the sweet spot for most people around here. I've gotten force closes and reboots at 825. We don't need your attitude
Then it seems like your particular phone can't handle 825. I suggest people try it on both. every phone is different. Just don't be stupid about it. When using the phone as a gps, under clock it. under clock when screen off. and over clock on demand and I'm fine on 825. never seen any issue.
"Suit yourself." I think that was the point of his post. His phone and usage of it OCd at 825 is good for him. He was just stating an answer to the OP. No reason to go around telling him he's wrong..
Anyways, not trying to start a OC war... because that would be ridiculous (-ly funny I might add).
As for myself, when I did OC my processor, 825 didn't effect my phone's performance, but it did make it extremely hot after a bit of use. So it's up to your phone and how you want to handle your phone. I don't really need the OC anymore though; I just stick with 600 (;

Downsides are less battery life (may be a lot or not) and not going as fast as it would be if you were OCd. It may also heat up more.

Overclocking is not necessary at all. We just recently became able to overclock. If you are satisfied with the speed/fluidity of your phone, then there is no need to overclock. The downsides would be less battery life (cpu running faster), and if you push your phone too hard (overclock stupidly), you run the risk of burning out your cpu. your phone should not be getting hot.

It's not necessary. It's pretty damn cool to make the little Aria have a processor as fast as the one in the G2 though.

HTC Titans CPU versus HTC Desire HD CPU (MSM8255)

Hello everyone!
I've been looking on the web for some time now about the new HTC Titans CPU,
clocked at 1.5GHz, named as Scorpion MSM8255 (same as ours (DHDs CPU)).
What do you guys think about it? Since our MSM8255 can "officialy" only hit 1GHz,
but now HTCs new MSM8255 can get it to 1.5GHz?!
I've searched the wiki also and i cannot find any differences.
Oh wait, is it that T at the end maybe? Just found it now.
HTC Titan: MSM8255T
Okay, so anyone know more about this? Feel free to comment
It's the same chipset. HTC did the same on the Flyer. They just OCed the cpu to 1.5 GHz since the cpu can handle it without problems.

How easy is it to actually oc the dhd cpu and is it really wise?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
A fellow Bristolian! Hi!
How easy? Very. 1.3GHz is achievable on the DHD with stock volts (1.1V). Wise? Yeah, anything up to around 1.2V is sensible, and safe is far beyond that.
To be honest, nobody will need to go past 1.3GHz, virtually all ROMs run smoothly at that clock.
Haha hey nice surprise lol
Oh sounds good. Pretty new to this only just rooted and flashed custom ROM the other day. Wasn't sure if I should OC or not tho. Guessing it's going to reduce an already poor battery life haha

Well, all of the kernels undervolt as well. Almost all of them run the processor at 1.2GHz at stock voltage. So overclocking shouldn't shorten battery life. Also, remember that many of the ROMs have andrev or virtuous OC daemons installed, so they will be underclocked to minimum speed most of the time. So either way, battery life and performance will be improved.
As for overclocking to 2GHz, while it is possible, I'd very strongly suggest you don't do so.
But it does prove that firstly, the MSM8255 is very overclockable, unlike the larger processed chip in the Desire (which I think will really go as far as 1.2GHz only, correct me if I'm wrong...). The Flyer's processor is exactly the same, just selected (a process called binning) because it is "capable" of running at that speed at the required, and desired voltages with the required stability that the manufacturer (Qualcomm) wants.

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently using rcmix runnymede ROM and its not oc'd. Would a OC of 1.3 be wise on stock voltages?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
1.3 might be pushing it. Mine needs 1.125V to be stable. I'd suggest that you probably do the same just in case, or even better 1.150.
The safest thing to do is take a look at the NCTeam kernel voltages, and use those (use IncrediControl from the Market to change voltages). They should work for virtually everybody. 1.3GHz is the speed I needed on Sense ROMs to be very smooth, you might find it is less though.
The desire hd doesnt actually overheat much @ 1.3ghz (I use that + Performance governor when playing some games), so the CPU can probably be overclocked quite alot without any problems
Other phones overheat quite a bit @ stock speeds...
Mine is set to 1,6GHz and it can handle 3d gaming for hours with the case only getting a bit warm. I wrote in a different thread that WP7 is getting an update and it will be able to run on DHD hardware. Maybe some devs will be interested in porting it to DHD then. It would be nice to dual boot Android and WP7. I can almost see all iPhone users faces.

Just to make sure I was clear, I meant that 1.3GHz could be pushing it on stock voltage, not that it could be pushing the limits of the chipset for speed. I think everyone got that, and knows that, but was just making sure.
As for heat, my phone didn't even heat up at 1.3GHz. You can push very far with no problems.

Don't forget that we need a wp7 bootloader. The android one can't handle wp7. Furthermore we probably have to repartition our internal memory (or sdcard if you want to run it from there) since wp7 uses other partitions than android (not sure about that, but i guess we have to.)

Is Overclocking even needed?

This phone screams at 1.5ghz, why do people feel the need to overclock?
Overclocking in the long run can damage your phone; is this CPU capable of it?
Also, the technology in this should be capable of running everything underclocked, don't you think?
I had a sensation before and had to overclock that to make it usable. This phone requires no such thing. I would underclock this to increase battery life because I know it's still going to be just as smooth!
So there are my thoughts, sorry about the disorganized manner by which I worded and placed them. Discuss

Even with overclocking on my SIII and Galaxy nexus it still wasn't even close to as smooth as this N4 is without any mods at all. Overclocking is not necessary for this beast. The only reason I would flash a new kernel would be to possibly fix the on screen coloring to be less washed out but even that doesn't bother me.

Could try this if you're rooted. I'm not, so can't test with stock kernel:

Undervolted (-100mv) and underclocked to 1.026Ghz, still runs smooth as ever, so my answer would be "No."
And after reading about people getting the red LED of death, I'm not keen to OC even if it was needed. I did so on my GNexus but the CPU in that was terrible IMO.
stock kernel is feel warm when use for awhile, so im not even bother to oc, not trying to ruin this beautiful baby
Simple answer, no. Unless you are a tinkerer or live in a cold weather climate and want a really hot hand warmer
Shouldnt overclocking make it slower? The phone throttles itself pretty hard at the slightest heat increase. If the phone was underclocked it would perform better in benchmarks because it wouldnt get throttled.
Besides I never understood the point of overclocking top end things that far exceed the requirements of current applications. Its not like there are any apps that run too slow. I only overclock my computer after it becomes too slow to handle modern tasks.
Let's overclock to 2.5ghz for the hell of it. We need to own the benchmarks.

I had a sensation too, and when that was first released there were threads asking why people felt the need to overclock that.
The dilemma is that clock speed has very small impact on battery compared to the screen, and the wake lock issue that sucks power in your pocket does not help either. so more clock speed appears to contribute very little to total battery usage.

Running at 1.026GHz you should be able to undervolt to -400 or more. That's what mine is running at.

Wait, what? Lupus Kernel offers increased amount of VRAM?
IMHO this is perfectly fine if you don't care so much about the device, otherwise you would be crazy. OC'ng so high will eventually cause in-reversable damage. I know what your doing so no need for me to ask questions But even if its stable for you it wont be for others all depends on the chip and as we know each is different. Also even if people don't use 2.x ghz frequencies tend to jump to the highest for a mili second if even on boot, causing problems with the device actually booting.
Well just my 2 cents on OC'ing...

At the end of the day its not GMEM which is essentially like a processors cache. Our chip has 256kb of it. But the allocated VMEM, would upping it to 8MB provide any sort of performance increase?

Can you post some benchmarks for the CPU? And also tell us more about the VRAM... Did it make any difference?
I believe that the Xplay has good chances of reach 2.0GHZ, running fine, provided has an good thermal solution. In my test, the games run fine for some minutes, before start overheat. Needed of somebody to build an custom cooler, then, make some tests. In my opinion, the safe clock, for sure, is not only 1.6GHZ. Only for default cooler.

I CBF screen shooting but CPU at 2.1 is around 20% faster then 1.6 and the GPU is around 25% faster with a 2600 3d score in antutu without adrenobooster
I know it's kind of not allowed to redistribute this but can u upload the kernel and send it ti me (PM) cus I will take some screens ans my play can handle 2GHz fine but bootloops when gaming after about 30-50 minutwa (depends on intensity of game!)
