Overclocking? is it bad for the phone - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hello guys, I am going to get a huawei x5 cause a guy is selling it pretty cheap, it has 800mhz processor and I just want to match it till 1.0ghz. Does it decrease the life of the phone? (i will be getting a used one) and how good is the battery timing.

I have mine at 1,4 ghz all the time, and never had any problem with it... battery life might be a bit less, I have to charge it every night but it happened the same when I didn't overclocked it...

Standard use pretty much, 30-50 messages a day, 10-20 minutes of calling, wifi always on, a lot of facebooking, twittering and redditing and music listening for one hour.

My phone is overlocking to 1.4 Ghz all time.., it's still very good.

The scorpion processor in the huawei ideos x5 is found in many phones which the processor speed range goes from 800 mHz to 1.4gHz. So in other words the huawei ideos x5 has an underclocked processor and the huawei ascend g300 has an overclocked 1.4gHz, which means only battery life will be affected. They run flawlessly from 800 to 1400 without any issue.

I use it at 1ghz, only when i run apps which require more data processing i overclock it to 1.4ghz.

What's about overclocking to 1.8 ghz?me I overclock it to 1.8 ghz when playing games like GTA III .
★HUAWEI IDEOS X5 U8800H★

It will run hotter and burn through battery. Be aware that not all u8800 phones can overclock to 1.8ghz though. Mine reboots constantly with anything above 1.6ghz. Stock kernel source for 2.6.35/3.08 allows up to 1.4ghz for the 7x30 based phones like ours, but it is not enabled as stock.

how bad can overclock be to the phone.

First of all at 1.8ghz it is not stable, above 1.4 ghz it is not stable... phone will overheat faster... and heat decreases performance... and you risk melting your phone xD

All the time I'm using my U8800H (OXYGEN ROM) at 1 ghz but when playing GTA I overclock it to 1.8 ghz with no problem ,the highest temperature degree will be 39 and the battery will empty in 3 hours.
So what's the bad thing with 1.8 ghz?
★HUAWEI IDEOS X5 U8800H★

If it works for you, then nothing. Just making others aware that 1.8 is not always safe. I clocked to 1.8ghz and set it to persistent across reboots. With no use my phone rebooted and went into a boot loop. I had to install ROM again to fix.

it's unnecessary to overclock it for daily use
i don't overclock my phone, and i it meets every day use at default 800MHz. Sometimes I play Modern Combat II , and it performed nice. so i don't think it's necessary to overclock it.

I have mine at 1.8GHz all the time and it works great! (ROM: Aurora ICS 4.1_update1a)
And it heats as much at 1.8 as it does at 1.4...

Actually I don't know the cause of this difference in overclocking between our phones but I don't think it is a hardware reason. Maybe related to Roms or kernels. I tried to overclock mine at 1.8 ghz (MIUI Rom) all the time with no problem but the battery drains more in comparison with 1 ghz overclocking.

ZTE Blade Overclocking

How high have you guys gone?
Im stable at 748MHz and 50% AHB Bus, 1hour Angry Birds and no real heat.
Tried 846 but phone locked almost instantly.
Mine isn't that great; 672 max with OC+AHB kernal.
It's good enough to make a positive difference mind
How'syour battery life?
is there a significant difference?
Battery life isn't too bad for me as I'm using SetCPU profiles to moderate the clock frequencies at set battery levels. Overall, I'm getting about a day of good usage
Stable with oc at690+ahb+hui with japanese jellyfish 6

[Q] Overclock?

Hi! How much can IDEOS X5 be overclocked? Sorry for the noob question ;P

Most ROMs have around 1800MHz limit... 1400 is safe, never tried it on maximum...
I use 1800MHz only when benchmarking.

I found that myne was not stable on 1800MHz. It worked on 1700MHz for a benchmark. I had it on 1200MHz max for normal use.
Great to know guys!

Aurora mod makes it 1 Gz default, so it should be safe for everyday use.
Max I got was 1.7 Ghz without problem.

oc defy to 2G

Hello,I oc my phone to 2Ghz,but its very slow.
I dont know why it is slow?
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
yes OMAP 3630 are found to be stable at 1300mhz , but not more than that ,,
btw , for how much time u were able to get it working on 2ghz , without actually getting any kind of hotboot or freeze ??
I only set frequent and voltage in bootmenu.
My rom is lastest cm10.(20121205)
300hz 20v
600hz 34v
800hz 46v
2000hz 86v
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
There are hundreds of reasons that could cause a slowdown. You have to be more specific. Other than that, it's very risky to set the CPU clock to 2ghz on a device that's meant to work at 800mhz. This means that you could cause the slowdown by setting the cpu clock to 2ghz.
Sometimes I see posts an just think: This person is that sort of man, who rotates the square in tetris....
2 GHz? What are you smoking?
I can max out oc to 1.4GHz, but after that it slows down.
At 2Ghz you need at least 102mv. Btw, can we somehow oc GPU?

That's not too advisable yet... custom kernel not stable enough...
And the BL is still locked, so GPU OC is more trouble than it's worth...
Dude.... Don't be sooo evil on the cpu.... U are only gonna fry it... And lose ur phone permanently... Bring it down to 1300...above that.. Don't expect any help for any mess ups...

Information like this in not useful at all, at least if you don't tell about your battery life time..... One battery with 2 years old will not have the same performance of another one with 6 months...

Without turning the screen off, of course you will get a lot less. Because screen drains most of your battery during use

Hi! I have noticed that my battery is draining quite a bit in Aurora v5 and I guess it has something to do with the kernel. I would like to try the kernel from ezet, but where can I find it? Sorry for my stupidity

Here it is for Aurora 5.0 u18_entropy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36291776
There are two different choices V1 and V2, use V1 it has the same entropy values as dzo's kernel. If you are using 5.0 u19 there isn't yet ezet's kernel for it.

Phone getting heated

Hi guys I dont play much games on my phone ,
Yesterday when checked found modern combat for free on samsung apps downloaded installed and now when I started playing it gets heated very soon is this normal or is it due to over clocking of cpu and gpu?

Hello, what is your current voltage for your cpu and gpu? And frequency (cpu/gpu)?
Undervolt probably can resolve the problem!

It's normal. I haven't over or underclocked or overclocked my phone and when playing highly intensive graphiv games, it heats up. If you have a case on it, that could contribute.
SGH-T889.Rooted.Jedi X12
Having a case on heats the phone up? I haven't rooted or played any intensive games on my phone. I do have a case and I am noticing the phone heats up quite a bit when you charge your phone or if your 3G connection is ON for long. I think that's the reason my SD Card got busted, due to excessive heating. Can anyone confirm the phone heating up coz of a case?

If it isn't turning off then you are fine. A quad core cpu with a gpu on board will get warm in the designated area, especially given the fact there is no ventilation.
Your cpu set to 1.8ghz and voltage?
You can test decrease voltage by 0.25mv to reduce heat and better battery life.
For me actually 1.8ghz = 1250mv
