[Q] Desire Z crashes after overclocking - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have permroot and s/off my phone using gfree method and i flashed a kernal
that i downloaded (Cyanogen Kernel v1.3) the kernal allows overclocking upto over 1400 mhz ,at 1094 mhz everything is fine and my phone is stable but as soon as i set the frequency over that using setCPU my phone freezes ,i dont know what i am doing wrong this is the first time i tried overclocking a phone ,i hope i am wrong but i am thinking since every cpu is unique maybe thats the max mine can handle ??? i apprentice any tips, advise , help ,suggestions
Thanks.
i have also tried EZDZ_Godspeed_update03 but using this kernal my phone doesnt even boot up it crashes immediately when i turn my phone on.

You might be right. Not every CPU is created equal and since the phone is only supposed to run 800Mhz you can't exactly complain that it "only" does ~1.1ghz
On the other hand a little more juice can make a reluctant CPU run a little faster. I'm not sure how the voltage tables work out for different Kernels but you might want to look in to that. The higher the voltage, the better the chance your OC will work, typically.

That's true, every cpu is unique. But for now, since the kernels are still going through development, I would assume it's perfectly fine that overclocked speeds are still quite unstable

Thanks for the replys i am not really complaining i just wanna make sure that i havnt messed up somewhere i thought the crashing might be happening because i messed something up or maybe it happend to others and its a common problem or there is a fix for it .
Also i would appreciate it if someone could put me in the right direction in regard to changing the voltage.

just wipe my original stock sense rom and flashed it with virtuous-vision_froyo_rom-v0.8.0 and applied all the patches but still the same problem
my phone freezes instantly as soon as i change it to just over 1100 mhz
its so strange its very very stable at 1094 mhz hasnt crashed even once.
any ideas?

The current overclock kernel that Flippy has over in Development (1.4) causes my phone to freeze when I'm trying to play Angry Birds. CyanogenMod's kernel runs it at 1.4Ghz, and I'm using an older, more stable version of Flippy's kernel.

It could be simply that your CPU isn't capable of over-clocking that high. Its hard to say as the kernels are still being developed but the ability to overclock a processor can vary greatly from unit to unit...
I have CM 6.1 and the last few days I have been running my phone at 1017 to compare the performance difference against the 1497 and thus far, I haven't really seen a drastic difference... That may change as the Gingerbread based ROMS start to trickle out but for now 1ghz seems like plenty of power.
You could always try a different kernel and see if it yields different results.

you should check/edit the overclock scripts..
I found wrong configuration script (650 Mhz using Androidiani OR)

i9000 goes off

Hi,
i have an Italian version of i9000 with jf5 firmware.
I have upgraded whit samsung kies my firmware.
now i have
pda xwjm3
phone xxjm2
csc itvjm1
now sometime my phone goes off
anyone have the same problem?
i read that this is a bug......
You read its a bug? Of course it's a bug.
It's either a bug with the firmware or with an application. I had the same problem when using SetCPU.
Sent from my GT-I9000
i have setcpu me too.
so the problem is this app?
just uninstall it?
I experienced it (no response completely unless I reinsert the battery) when with lag fix and GPS on, regardless eclair or froyo ROM.
then I reflashed and turned GPS off for most of the time on my 2.1 lag-fixed ROM, the problem seemed not to trouble me any more. I have also underclocked my CPU with "Overclock Widget" to 800/400 MHz on screen, and 400/400 MHz offscreen.
I have a feeling that the problem was due to GPS or due to the 0513 pit, but I'm not sure - so far it's been okay so I bother not to break it for tests.
SetCPU shuts my device down... out of nothing...
i uninstalled setcpu and never happened again

Slightly off-topic but... That'd actually be an overclock if I'm reading those numbers correctly. The default frequency is 1000/100mhz with a conservative setting, meaning it'll try to be as low as possible more or less. What you've done is set min-frequency to 400mhz, which in my book is an overclock from the stock 100mhz.
Back to semi on topic... SetCPU is known to cause problems on Galaxy S, and likely other devices aswell. Most problems has been more specifically caused by using ondemand setting when setting up profiles - for some reason the phone doesn't handle this setting well when it wakes from sleep.
I'm pretty sure I managed to get it working more or less flawlessly with an screen off profile at 400/100 with Conservative setting, though I reflashed shortly after those settings so never got to test it properly. Regardless, they might work if you want to mess about with it.
I had a similar problem with JM5 and SetCPU.
Removed and it didn't happen again.

The way to have SetCPU working is to do the following:
Scaling: conservating
Freq Step: 100

[Q] Overclocking Problems

I have a rooted myTouch 3g slide and am using the CyanogenMod 6.1.1 ROM. I have been trying to overclock the CPU using setCPU but for some reason every time I change the max speed past 600 mhz the phone just reboots. Am I doing something wrong or do I just have a phone that can't be overclocked beyond that speed?
Thanks for any insight into this problem!
I don't know how far past 600 MHz you're trying to go, but I have been successful at overclocking to 806 MHz. Anything over that, and I start getting lockups, reboots, etc.
Hope that helps a bit!
Lol i'm jealous now.. At this point I'd like to even just be able to overclock it to 768 or 787 mhz. Anything over 600 mhz really would be a step in the right direction.
It seems as though as soon as i change the max cpu speed in setCPU the phone hangs up for a second and then immediately reboots. I have to quickly change it when i get back into setCPU after the reboot otherwise it reboots again.
Do I not have the necessary tools or applications on the phone to do this? I thought CM 6.1.1 had the overclock kernel and everything...

it does, but the problem is that your phone's cpu is not able to handle it. Some people can do 900+(unfortunately im not that lucky) some cant touch 800 even. Even though we all have the same phone they all arent exactly the same. Like on a computer some can OC higher than others even if setup is the same...
So what your saying is that my phone just can't be overclocked beyond 600 mhz? Is there a way to manually adjust it to like 650 mhz or something else that I set? Or is that dangerous and stupid to do?
Sorry i'm a total noob at this...

That can't be done because the cpu won't actually clock to anything in between certain multiples, I forget what the multiple is but it can't do in between unfortunately. I have stably clocked to 844 mhz. Every once and awhile, normally less than once a month it will freeze but not enough for me to go down to 825 or 806.
But to me, this doesn't sound like the processor not being able to handle it. It sounds like something software related, since at least in my experience, if the CPU can't handle it, the phone simply freezes and you have to pull the battery. It doesn't reboot, it just freezes, stops processing entirely.
If you don't have the android sdk, download it and install it (just google it), and then open a command prompt when your phone is plugged in and type adb logcat and press enter.
You also need the HTC sync drivers which can be obtained from HTC's site.
Then, while running the logcat, change your frequency up one step, and after your phone is back at the boot splash screen, press CTRL + C in the command prompt window and paste the entire logcat into a reply here in this thread
Code:
with code brackets like this
. You might even do a paste2: http://paste2.org/new-paste to make it easier to read
It sure sounds like it's a system crash, not a processor locking up from too high of speeds.
Maybe its the version of SetCPU that your using. Try re-installing it first, and if that doesn't help, Google up SetCPU 2.02 or something and see if that works.
I think the latest version of setcpu is 2.10

What rom are you using?
Maybe the kernel is not Over Clocked.
I've made it to overclock up to 844 pretty well on 3rdSense Rom...

CM 6.1.1 Should have the kernel included.
When i first started over clocking I recall being told not to use the perflock disabler on SetCpu or it would mess things up. Perhaps you are using it and should not be or vice versa? That was using DumFuq's (sp) kernels of course, I do not know if Cyanogen still uses the same overclock kernel.

You only needed to use perflock on stock kernel that was used on stock rom. Dumfuq's kernel lets you yse setcpu w/o that setting being needed. but once i got soff it would save settings even after rebooting.

[Q] Do you need a specific kernel for overclocking?

I have Virtuous 2.0 and it works fine with 1GHz in SetCPU, but if I set it to 1.5GHz and try to do anything it just crashes, then reboots
I just tried it now, have 800MHz set, but the phone was in off mode doing nothing, so turned it on, set it to 1.5GHz max, then opened up a game (Crazy Snowboard) and it loaded, then as I started the game, it counted down from 3 to 2, then froze and rebooted after a few seconds
Then, when it rebooted, I opened SetCPU and it was still set to 1.5GHz, but SetCPU said 1GHz max
Oh, and I never flashed another kernel by the way (don't know how on this phone), so was the kernel installed along with Virtuous (didn't know that was possible)?

If you want to overclock to 1.5 ghz, you need a better kernel that allows overclocking to thats speeds. Try unity v4 kernel. It allows oc up to 1.7ghz. The link is in my signature. You can just flash the kernel right over without any problems. Hope this helps

different kernels offer different things. You'll find one that you like and works with your ROM. Just as an FYI, not every kernel/ROM combo will be stable at 1.5ghz. That's a big overclock for a processor that is normally at 806mhz. Keep in mind you should use screen off and temperature SetCPU profiles to keep it in check.

Question for rooted stock GB PLEASE HELP!!

ok so im running the STOCK GB but im rooted and have been running gingertiny 9/29 ran into rebooting issues.. phone constently reboots after 20 mins of use. usually when this happened before like on stock kernels the battery temp would rise up to 104 but i kept eyes on the temp and it never goes over 78.4 F
not overclocking cpu im actually running at about 625 mhz but issue still occurs
SO with that being said i need help finding either a better kernal or trying to find solutions with this one.
i went back to complete stock and rooted to see if i still have this issue
any help will do thanks!
These questions belong in the Q/A section. This has zero relevance to development.
Now:
1) pull the battery then place it back into your phone.
2) Charge it awhile to make sure you haven't dropped a considerable charge during the bootloops.
3) Turn your phone on and move your clock speed towards 998400 (stock clock speed) via setcpu or however you underclocked.
This bootloop is likely due to you being underclocked so low. If you want, flash Tiny's latest kernel from 9/29/2011 to bring yourself up to date.
Was your min clock speed underclocked below the stock 245000? I had random reboot issues when I underclocked my min to 128000.
Having your max_freq set at 628 or whatever it was shouldn't cause reboot issues. You're phone should be rock-solid stable at a speed like that. I'd suggest taking a look at your voltages.
I've never run that kernel so I'm not familiar with what the voltage table looks like, but it might very well be that your voltage is too low. If your max_freq were higher, the transition through that clock freq would probably be too brief to cause an issue. I don't know if that kernel has sysfs enabled, but if it does, upping the voltage at that step .25 volts should cure it.
Min speed was at 628 even switching back to stock kernel still having issues I'm not sure what can be the issue I only last few mins playing any games or watching anything all speeds are stock

[Q] [CPU] My CPU Speed automatically goes down to 810Mhz

My CPU Speed automatically goes down to 810Mhz on all overclocked kernels.
Even in CM10 kernels,
It happens in between while I play a game or so.
Even if I install Kernel with only GPU overclock, it still happens.
But never happens on stock kernels. I have to manually increase the CPU speed by setCPU.
Any Solutions for it Guys?

Used kernel tuner but still the same result, it goes to 810mhz even if the phone is not hot (just homescreen) and when i increase it, it remains at max even if i play games and make it hot. but after some time (say 15 or 20 minutes) even if I am in standby mode the cpu goes down to 810Mhz. previously at some point it was 1134Mhz.
Guys, anyone with some help. It has even started to occur in Complete stock ROM. (flashed the ftf on locked bootloader, still the max cpu spped drops from 1.5 Ghz to 810 Mhz, some times both cores)

I had the same problem but i discoverd that the Battery saver pro causes that problem for me. If you use the seme app untick control CPU frequency.
It is actually a built in security feature of our phones which gets activated when temperature of phone goes high . At least that's what I know .
