Hey, i'm just curious as to why the HD2 cannot be overclocked higher than 1190(solid)
My brother in law just got the G2 which has the 800MHz processor, and he has it OC'd to 1.8GHz and is pushing over 3-4k Quadrants, and 55+ Linpack scores and the battery is still decent on it.
We have a 1GHz pcsr that can barely hit 1.2, ( i know MDJ has a 1460OC, but it is not ACTUALLY 1.4 it still reads the same as an overclock to 1.2)
Is there a hardware/software reason for this, any ideas?
Thanks!
G2 has the latest gen snapdragon processor, so i guess thats why, you will have to look up the specs of that processor to see whats new.

its because on the newer snapdragons (like the one in the g2) you can get to very high speeds at near stock voltages however on the last gen ones (like the ones in the hd2 and nexus one) you need to increase the voltages to get to the higher speeds which is risky so most kernel builders wont do it let alone release it to the public
Its a 45nm process. If you shrink the process than it takes less charge to charge up the gate. The paths get shorter for the current to travel and therefore the critical path between two registers can get smaller and you can crank up the frequency.
yea i get in linpack 40 not more
1.2ghz and 1.46ghz have the same score for me
so i cant get more but sometime the cpu is quality enuf to work with this voltage
I installed CM7 with DSC Phoenix test2,overclock to 1344MHz.
when I bench with Quadrant Advanced ver2.1, my score is >1300 to 1400.
It's lower than my old milestone 1 (with CPU 600 MHz Cortex-A8 and GPU PowerVR SGX530, overclock to 1,1Ghz). quadrant score of milestone1 is > 1700. I dont know why?
And this morning I tested with HTC Incredible S of my friend (CPU 1 GHz Scorpion
and GPU Adreno 205, ICS rom without overclock). Score is > 1900.
Is my streak weak? I cant believe streak5 is slower than milestone1 and HTC Incredible S.
how about you?
I think many on here will agree with me when I say forget about the benchmark scores. They largely mean nothing as it relates to real world performance and you can drive yourself crazy trying to tweak your phone to death to increase the numbers. With that being said, the performance hit is likely in the file i/o section.
As normal user and not a programmer, I dont understand about the file i/o section. But thanks you, Lordmorphous. So I'll forget foolish scores, what a stupid app =))
File I/O = File input and output, which in simpler language is the act of reading and writing to the MicroSD cards.
Quadrant and other such benchmark tools are fun to run, but they don't mean much. To properly test a device requires a benchmark program like Futuremark's PCMark, which includes real-world applications and simulates real-world usage. There is no such benchmark app for Android however.
though, if you guys notice the benchmark for the quadrant advance 2.x, the i/o score for our DS5 does a bit low compared to others but... well you know, it just numbers... nothing more.. nothing less...
however, cpu power does have the impact when overclocked, for let say using default cpu speed of 1ghz, software decoding is a bit slow compared to overclocked 1.2ghz...
just my 2 cents
I know that the Note 3 got the Snapdragon 800 8974AA(GPU clocked at 450 MHz).
So i ran the latest GFXBench 3.0(Manhattan offscreen) and got a score of 11.1, which is even better than the scores the Snapdragon 800 8974AB(GPU clocked at 550/578MHz) got.
How can this be?

maybe its caused by throttling down due temperature
Maybe memory of Note 3 is faster and larger than other phone, which shouldn't be Samsung because S5 uses AC version. I think Note3 has very fast RAM and if other phone has slower (read cheaper) RAM it could bottleneck there. Also, as the other poster said the other phone could be thermally throttling, especially if the benchmarks were run multiple times to get average. You figure people running benchmarks would know better, but who knows.

Yeah maybe that's the case.

The thing is that, other Note 3 get's around 9-10 FPS, which is normal for a 8974AA SoC. So either some Note 3's got the AB(which is unlikley) or Samsung is cheating again and overclocking the GPU to AB levels only for the Bench.

Samsung never overclocked anything, what they did in the past is ramp up frequency to maximum before benchmark started running, so there was no delay to get CPU/GPU to full speed, like you have with on demand governor. I don't believe it's cheating because you can set the governor to run full click yourself (if rooted) and benefit from this as well with any game/ benchmark. It also shows how inefficient ondemand governor is and maybe we should be using different governor setting which is interesting topic all by itself. I remember there was similar "scandal" few years ago in graphic card business, where drivers were optimized for particular benchmarks. Well, now all video drivers are optimized for specific, mostly graphic intensive games and we all benefit from it by having better performance, from lesser hardware. Maybe this could also benefit all of us by giving us better governors, so the phones can run faster with the same hardware, instead of being artificially slowed down with poor choice of governor settings. As far as other Notes running slower, thermal throttling due to multiple benchmark runs to get average would be my wild guess. Or maybe you deleted factory bloatware and change settings to make your phone faster, but no, you don't have AB version.
I've been using XBMC on the FireTV fairly successfully but wished it was a bit snappier. Thinking back to my days with the Galaxy S3, I remembered a great app called Seeder.
From the Play Store listing:
Seeder is a service for root users. It assists the kernel in "topping off" the entropy pool by re-seeding it with data from the non-blocking (high performance) random device. Optionally, it can also help alleviate MMC I/O contention by extending the I/O queue, allowing the I/O scheduler to make better decisions, and combine more writes.
After installing and enabling the moderate option on my FireTV, XBMC loads faster and navigates through menus much smoother. An essential app and well worth the purchase in my opinion.
Setup:
Root your FireTV (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783805)
Install Google Play Store (http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-the-amazon-fire-tv/)
Download Seeder (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder&hl=en)
Give Seeder root permissions
Select Start on Boot
Choose Moderate
Profit!
Seeder ($2.50) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder&hl=en
Thanks for your tip. Does Anyone else recommends it? I am quite satisfied with the firetv performance but i am all forward with improvements

It does boost performance,even with my "overclocked" settings already made.
I quote it because I can't actually overclock the Fire TV because the lack of unlocked bootloader.
I can only change governor types to "Performance" on GPU,and "interactive" on all four CPU cores to boost them a bit.
I also have two booster apps for visual and touch performance increases,which prove to work really well.
I want to OC the GPU to a minimum 400Mhz and maximum 500Mhz to match the stronger equivalent GPU's 450Mhz and 550Mhz OC settings.
Maybe also get the CPUs on at least 1.9 Ghz or 2.0Ghz as the maximum with 500Mhz as the forced minimum.
When bootloader unlocking is possible,I want to find a fix for the kernel panic rebooting issue with Reicast caused by instability with certain Android ROMs.

Nothing...NOTHING about what you're doing is even remotely considered overclocking....
OC is pushing hardware past it's max performance out of the box or standard state. CPU's downclock themselves for power savings. You telling it to run at a different minimum isn't OC'ing, you're just telling it to not downclock itself so far.

Lighten up. In case you missed it he said he can't overclock and even pointed out his use of quotes.
If you want to be nit picky overclocking is not pushing hardware past it's max performance but TO it. Overclocking takes the hardware past factory spec, which you could call "standard state" but that is never near the max. It is set for stability and longevity not necessarily the fastest performance.
Intel used to push a new chip until it crashed then dropped it a notch and called it XGHz. It's why overclocking was so limited without changing voltage and needing extra and even extreme cooling. AMD always designed a chip to have plenty of room to grow and why they support overclocking and enabling extra cores.
AMD now has some extremely powerful multicore CPU processors up to 5.0Ghz!
It's called AMD FX-9590.
Beat that,intel!
Confirmed. . Seeder 2.0 actually does speed up the just about everything from watching streaming movies to using XBMC, except your Internet. . Highly recommended. Use the setting above and trickster mod.

intel destroys amd! and thats a fact! a 4.4 ghz i7 would still beat that 5 ghz amd in benchmarks! so its already been done

Not to go further off topic but benchmarks mean literally squat VS real world use.
Hi,
I have run into some results from users showing that overclocking is indeed counter productive on the s4 as it would bench lower due to throttling as a result of overheating. Has anyone else actually benefited from overclocking it? If so let's see some screeniez actually proving that it is worth to overclock and at what point the throttling begins to take effect from CPU overheating.

i had very good resoults but with overclocking gpu not cpu. Everyithing was smoother with overclocking GPU, so i recommended that you overclock GPU and you will get best resoults for daily use. Otherwise overclocking CPU is still good but dont promise any real life perfomance, i have overclocked mine for like 200Mhz along with gpu and get best possible resoult for daily usage. But i can tell you that battery is not happy about this U need powerbank in you pocket to get through day.
Compared to my stock Note 10+, my stock S4+ is so slow it's not even worth comparing.
You only have so much to work with... better architecture, faster chipsets and memory make substantial improvements in the newer platforms even with no overclocking.
At least until Android 10, then things start going to hell... scoped storage sucks.
So far Pie is the Android OS's zenith in my opinion.
