I was wondering if anybody would be so kind as to give me some pros/cons about overclocking my phone. Or a link to a topic as I'm sure there already is one, I searched but could not find.
Thanks,
Stew

PROS: Your phone goes faster!
It goes slower while it's asleep, so more battery (as long as you program the profile in setcpu)!
CONS:Your phone might overheat.
Thanks man I appreciate the response. When you say overheat do you mean the battery, or the actual phone? haha

Why would one, and not the other? They are touching, and crammed together....

Idk just thought I should ask....
I just figure the phone has a failsafe. I have mine at 768 and only gets ridiculously hot when charging running Google navigation. Otherwise it's just slightly warmer. When it overheats the led flashes red green and I figure its slowing the charge or stopping it to compensate.
A computer will shutdown when the heat gets to an unmanageable level to prevent damage. I figure the phone would have something similar.

It doesnt go faster while its asleep.. It scales down like any other rom/kernel would when the phone is asleep.
If you really arent sure then dont ever use an OC'ing app. Just install the kernel and let it scale on its own.

Also the only thermometer thats close to the cpu is the battery. So its not the most accurate thing to watch since its not the actually cpu temps. Just a rough estimate. Also when it get to around 40 C then set the max clock down to around default clock speeds. Or simple just let the phone relax and dont touch it. You can also take the back cover off and let it get more air..
It doesnt get hot extremely easy, so its not like youll be sending a text and it gets hot. Its only after prolonged use or doing something thats keeping the cpu from not scaling down very much (game, tethering, or etc..)

I think he meant setcpu can scale at a lower then factory frequency. But that would actually not be overclocking =P

It would actually be underclocking, yes. But it DOES give you better battery life!

I haven't noticed a difference setting my phone to 245mhz when it's asleep (well positively anyway). But when I unlock it is slow to a crawl, so I just set it 528mhz all the time and my battery life is unaffected but my phone is always very spunky.I don't have fresh toast on my phone so I haven't overclocked it yet (but may eventually)
I only had issues with overheating when charging, especially via USB to a computer. One commonly overlooked side effect is that Li-Ion batteries lose capacity faster at higher temperatures. The capacity degradation is a combination temperature, charge and number of charge cycles. The ideal situation is to be at 40% charge at 0C, but the hotter the battery, the more it degrades with time.
Does anyone feel that with EI22 they are getting worse WIFI signal compared to Froyo??? Mine seems considerably less.
Somebody (I think Noobnl) posted in another thread that they powered the radio back to make battery life better.
i dont' feel mine is weaker but i am having problems with wifi not connecting unless i toggle the wifi button. it will goin into a searching, connecting, disconnecting look until i disable/enable it. then it connects immediatly
Worse signal same speed.

It actually looks like I am getting just a little better strength than the EH17 modem but worse than EC05.

I get better 4g now but my wifi just toggles in a constant connect, disconnect, not in range state. Happens even while I am sitting next to my router.

Well someone said that they were having the issue with nubernal so I reflashed the stoc rom and rooted but I am still having the issue. I have not flashed the keyboard fix or the gps fix as yet but I did flash konane's ciq remover. If problems persist I may have to reflash to bone stock and try it unrooted then rooted to see if I can track down the issue

I thought that the CIQ remover was not able to be used on stock ROMs?

I believe that you are correct now that I think about it but it flashed with no errors and my phone's stable except for the wfi thing. Have to find a way to check for ciq now.

Only the indicator shows weaker. They just adjusted the signal gain to different db's. Not a big deal you will still have the same exact speeds. And those of you that are connecting and disconnecting try putting in the right password. I know its hard when your skipping keys but slow down.

But does the weaker indicator mean less coverage/range even if the speed is the same when connected?

Absolutely not. I could make it to show that you had 0 bars on indicator when really you should have full bars. And you would still have full connectivity speed. The only speed that is relevant is what is called link speed which you can only see by an app called network info then you select wifi. Also our phones are not 5ghz wireless so we won't have the same link speeds as what a 5ghz enabled device would. I'm sure that the indicator bars will be adjusted in the first custom roms

Who else has this problem
The phone gets hot not warm not pleasant talking on it
Long calls are just not possible
Such a shame for a wonderful product

My phone usually gets hot when I'm using 3g but don't get more than 2 bars of signal, try switching to 2g if you know that you're in a place where you won't get a good connection. Or even better, when you're talking, you might as well just turn mobile data off

op.. its supposed to get hot. that's why it has a glass back, to cool off quicker. thats why you feel the heat. if you are worried about heat, dont buy a quad core device. buy a dumb phone and itll remain cool.
but that is not a problem with s4 or note 2 ??
so that doesnt justify

its not a problem with the n4 either. the problem is all in your head. again, it has a glass back to transfer the heat out of the phone quicker. because its glass, you will feel it more. s4 and the note 2 have plastic backs, so you feel it less.

besides op, what temperature is it reaching that you are complaining about, how it feels isnt an accurate temperature reading.
Guys stop embarrassing me
Actually I'm not comparing about heat on the back that's tolerable but its get way too got near the earpiece so that's why I'm complaining
I notice it a lot when I get a call in between my 3G usage

way too hot is what temperature(cpu temp)? im not trying to embarrass you, im trying to let you know that its normal, but you refuse to accept it. so, give more detail, what temp is your phone reaching? hot isnt an answer, hot and feel are relative terms.
The s4 does get hot too, I just had it.
But on the bright side, the nexus 4 is cozy in the winter

i wasnt running anything yesterday to monitor temp ........
but right now i started using it
and only have battery temp with me and it says 36 degree celsius and whats the best app for cpu temp monitoring ??

there are a few out there, i use the trinity kernel toolbox app. just search cpu temp in the play store. for battery, 60C is the safety temp. for cpu, 95C or 100C is the safety temp. the cpu os near the top of the phone, thats why it feels hot near the earpiece. its normal for the phones cpu temp to shoot up while the cpu is being used. when the screen goes off, itll cool down quickly.
im using trinity kernel now and have installed the toolbox and it shoe 1026 hz clock ??
why is it undervolted ?

Thats not undervolted, and I suggest you dont touch voltages atm and if you do make sure "set on boot" isnt checked.
That speed is just set lower, not sure if that kernel does that for you but you can set that higher if you wish.
all right ....running trinity and its not that hot now

This might help a little. Look for these lines in your build.prop:
ro.core_ctl_min_cpu=2
ro.core_ctl_max_cpu=4
Change the value of he first line to 1. It's set to run on 2 cores minimum. If the lines aren't there, try adding at least the first set to 1.
Edit: it actually sounds like you may have a battery problem or another problem with your device. Might want to try to get it replaced.
I have looked on Google and found a few things but none lead to edit the battery capacity. There is a capacity file but it is for percentage. I have a 4200 but always shows 3200 in apps. If I can change file maybe the phone will act as if I actually have an upgraded battery, or am I just thinking in left field?

I need or would like to set the reading so that system/ all apps can read as the 4200 or what ever is needed to be entered for value from batteries. A file edit. Any app that I have seen reads from system and not the battery itself by default.
