Yea I saw it this morning via Engadget, Crazy stuff...
The benchmarks are sick.
This makes the desire z even more desireable
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I'm a newbie when it comes to modifying phones and such, so just a quick question.
Will this work with our Desire Z's when we get them, or is this only for the G2 with stock Android?
should work
if not, could be adapted
the door is open
It will be interesting to know if a DesireHD can clock further. Will tell us if they are cherry picking from the wafers or just downclocking the DesireZ cpu regardless.
Excuse my ignorance (this will be my first Android device) - what are the practical benefits of overclocking right now? PSX emulation is the only thing that comes to mind. Anything else I can only do only after achieving such a high clock rate?
If it's only "because I can", I'd rather have the battery life.

The app setCPU can also down-clock if there is no CPU workload while having a better performance when it's needed.
This way you'll even get extra battery-life because most of the time your phone
is just idling.

Folks on the G2 forum are reporting no affect on their battery life with overclocking.
I'm not sure i'll need it way up at 1.4 GHz. I'm hoping to get my Desire up to 1.2 or so once we get a full root avail.
Any stability issues?

Some phones crap out at 1.3GHz some have been taken to 1.55GHz... it will vary phone to phone. The good news is the clocks can easily be adjusted with a stroke of the keyboard so if one setting doesn't work you can back it back down to one that will.
I'm thinking of buying this in August or sometime near that month and I have seen various reviews regarding this phone. It's very cheap and well worth the price. Since full custom roms can be flashed, exactly how much faster can you make the Blade? It's clock speed stock is 600Mhz, how much can you safely overclock too without heating problems or too many reboots? How much faster in general?
mine doesn't overclock that much i use 672mhz and would only get a reboot once in 2-3 weeks i can overclock to 710mhz but get reboots twice a day, but as with all overclocking it's different on different devices, some people have said they get 768 with no reboots
Yeah it really depends on your phone. Personally, I don't think it makes it much faster. I think 650MHz-700MHz is the sweet spot to avoid reboots and not create too much heat.

agree.
how fast your proc can go is really depend on your chip, because every chip is unique.
some can stable at 710Mhz, some even can stable at 800Mhz.
just reading this, iv had a pulse, a wildfire and now a blade, all of them i cant go over 710mhz lol

And keep in mind that overclocking has a huge impact on battery life
@ Will
Seems you have very bad luck.
you wouldnt believe it lol, even my scroll tablet is supposed to rin at 800mhz but its been set at 720 lol, im using wbaw rom now and its set at 600mhz, tho i cant complain cause its really good

Yeah, overclocking hardly makes much difference in terms of performance.
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

I've had mine at 2GHz. I clocked it down to 1,3GHz after 10 minutes since it got REALLY hot. But it managed to run just fine at that speed.

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.)
Sent out of my Free-Candy-Van. Your kids are safe in there. Trust me.
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

Overclock is rarly needed but feels good.lol.cant resist the urge:*)
Sent from my LT28h using xda premium
I completely agree with you. It runs so smooth and fast as it is I see no reason to bother overclocking.

Agree, OC is not a Mod I need with this fast bad boy!
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:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexus4displaycontrol
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.

I want to overclock mine since it doesn't handle NDS emulating (well, one game I want to play) very well.
Hello All! I have a somewhat large list of questions that I'm hoping you'll be able to help me figure out!
Here they are:
1. How large of a gain do we see by overclocking the GPU?
2. How large of a gain do we see by overclocking the CPU?
3. Which of the above two creates a larger heat increase?
4. What is "mpdecision" and what does it do?
The fifth question is very specific.
5. When I "supercharge" my phone using Zepplinrox's V6 supercharger, and then finish it with it's sister script the "Ultimate Jar Power tools," I see that the ADJ values don't stick. Why is this? What are ADJ values? Will this prevent me from fully utilizing the Maximum Multitasking Mod?
Thank you for your time patience,
Connor Baker
why would u even want to overclock? this things running a quad core at 1.5 by default. plus those supercharger scripts are meant to speed up slow phones. i don't see what someone could possibly gain by running them on a phone like this.

I know, but I really like to have my phone running at the max, plus I believe that it's needed for the Maximum multitasking mods. It really thrills me to have something faster than my mother's mac in my hand.
Connor Baker
well in that case ill help you the best i can lol... in pretty sure CPU overclock heats up more. GPU overclock can make your graphics glitchy if you go too high. mpdecision lets you shut off your other 3 cores when you don't need them so basically you'll be running single core unless you put your CPU under a heavy load like gaming, which is meant to save battery.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Don't overclock unless you feel you need to, you'll be shortening the lifespan of your device for very little gain, since the n4 already screams as it is.
