Are there any bad things that can pop out if phone is OCed to 768MHz? Does it last shorter, can it screw battery etc..?
Thanks
It's unlikely you will 'pop out' something at 768 MHz. Some Wildfire's will not be stable at that speed, and, that is about the worst it can get, in which case, your Wildfire will lag a lot,and you will have to tone down the frequency a bit.
Battery life may take a hit, but, it wont be anything drastic again, also, as for component life, again, it may take a hit, but, even at 768, it will last till the time you are ready to retire it.
what is the recommended overclock speed, i can overclock to 729mhz and its stable no reboots etc or should i overclock to 691mhz??
Not really necessary, if your phone is not behaving abnormally at 729.
Is the difference with overclocking really that noticeable compared to stock speeds?
It's marginal. Definitely not as much as the overclock %age suggests. The only big difference will be in benchmarks.

i just overclocked to 729MHZ its awesome, the speed is noticable , and its stable i hope its fine and doesn't take more battery life lol
got mine at 710mhz and its stable no problems at all
keep the max overclock value at 729 MHz and the minimum on at least 264 MHz.
This saves battery when phone isn't in use and the speed increase is noticeable, it's rather nippy! (certainly for texting anyway)

Hello Everyone
Is overclocking the defy to 1GHz is ok?and by ok i mean stable for a long time....and not for few months and then the phone is dead or something
thanx in advance
Many have been OC-ed to 1 ghz without any issue.
I'm running with 1000/52 in setvsel.
Overclocking doesn't harm unless the voltage is correct and not too much. OC to 1 GHz and see the lowest voltage that you can run stable on. Set it as the setting.
Also, CPU scales as per demand so your Defy will not run at 1 Ghz all the time, only when it requires that muscle...
And CPU's do last a long time, my 8 year old Pentium 4 just refuses to die...LOL
Running the Defy at 1000/52 and 75% with Setvsel. No problems and battery-power for full 3 days including a 6 hour geocaching trail. That's ok.
my defy can handle 1,2ghz long term, so you should be fine with 1ghz just make sure you set the vsel right, setting it too high could damage the cpu, setting it too low causes reboot, but no damage. so you can start by setting it to 50vsel, and if your phone is instable (i recommend setvsel and stability test for testing) set it a bit higher!
ok
thank you so much guys
Seriously no one knows, as no one has been owning and overclocking defy for over half year. But I think 1g is fine. Mine can easily go to 1.4g at 7x vsel, though I'm using 1.2g at 62 vsel.
mine maxed out on 1.37ghz, but im still using [email protected] theres nothing i use 800mhz cant handle, and with undervolting i can seriously lower battery consumption.
Mine is OC'd to 1ghz with Milestone overclock with no problems, and it's super fast also.
What is the highest MHz that i can go up to without risking my phone too much? My ROM and Kernal lets me go up to 1920 but thats probably not the best idea.

you have reason.... NO GOOD IDEA lol
in a kernel thread (a lot of time ago...) i was read... that was not recomended overclock avobe of 1600 Mhz... And atention important!!! don´t underclock down 170Mhz more or less (because can be the devece cannot exit from standby mode when you unlock the screen....) i cannot remember what was be the thread but i really believe that there is not a concret limit for overclock....
sure that it´s not good any tipe of overclock for improve the performance...
but i have a hero overclocked at 714 mhz (factory stock at 525 mhz) since 2009 and NO PROBLEM never,,,,
and my DHD overclocked at 1200 mhz (with a quality kernel in mode smartass)
and underclocked at 245 mhz more or less and no problem....
judge by your self but use the common sense... cheeeers
At the moment i have it on smartass to 1459 max and 230 min and it seems fine. Do i just judge it on the CPU temp, and if it stays quite low (Around 30c) then im fine?

it depends buddy...
maybe its well.... the normal temp. of my batt. in use is 33-35º (but here in spain we are now at 30º !)
but my question is... are you really sure about its neccesary overclock our DHD?
I think that still DHD supports well all kinds of software with 1 GHZ of power...
maybe for a future thinks....or for gamming but always u can overclock for use a game and then return to 1ghz...
it´s only a suggestion... maybe another OP uses the processor of different mode...
The overclocking limit differs from device to device, so there is no general answer.
As a rule of thumb, when you start getting random revolts or crashes, you have gone too far.
If you want a more professional way, just slowly turn the clock of your CPU up and run a stress test after each time. It takes a bit more time but should get you pretty good results.
How long should i leave the stress test running for?
The reason i want to overclock it a little is that it just runs a bit more smoothly with it over clocked a bit. Just everything in general seems a bit better to use, its not really for gaming etc.
I heard there was a problem with stability issues before. Has it been fixed?
Also, do any of you guys feel the need to OC in the first place?

I tried OC'ing to 1,4 for a short time, didnt get any instabilities.
Which leads me to question two. No I don't feel the need to OC this phone, it is still good enough to cope with everything i throw at it.
The worst that will happen is that it will run a little hotter than normal. I was running Trinity Kernel on RasCream ROM clocked at 1.5GHz and it was fine, nothing crashed, no reboots, all was well.
Besides; It's a Nexus, it was built for this!
This varies for everyone

Meh. It all varies. No 2 chipsets are the same. What may work for someone else may not work for you. Trial and error is the only surefire way to find out.
Hi,
I agree with what has been said above, all the CPU's are not equal but actually the progress made by the kernel devs allows all (or almost) phones to run at 1.3* Ghz (1.34/1.35 Ghz, it depends of the kernel) without any issues.I think it's for all, actually I don't remember a user with issues at 1.3* Ghz...
And for most phones 1.5 Ghz is fine.For some others, above 1.5 Ghz is problematic but it depends also of too many factors.
Now it's not like it when the Genx came out, where 1.3 Ghz was the limit of CPU overclock for all the phones.
And many people can run stable at 1.65 Ghz, also it depends of the kernel.
For me for example my max CPU freq usable each day, so stable is 1.72 Ghz with Glados kernel, above (like 1.8 Ghz) it runs fine for 30 mins, sometimes 1 hour, but after always freeze/reboot... maybe my CPU can't reach this CPU freq or maybe my settings are wrong (voltage) ...
I agree, an extreme overclock like 1.72 Ghz is not really necessary for all day (heat, battery life, etc...) but a little overclock like 1.5/1.53 Ghz and you a difference in certain case (openning some apps, general UI, browsing, etc...).
But if we have the ability to test and play...why not... ,in any case for me it's yes, I like overclock and test the possibilities/limits of my phone, different settings...
Everyone does as he wants and it depends on what you want (battery life,a little more power in some situation like playing or a higher bench score ).
Well considering Texas instruments recommended highest clock speed for this processor is 1.5 ghz I'd say your fine. Anything above that is dependent on how well your chip set will handle it. Besides who honestly has needed to OC for anything other than benchmarks?

Hey,
I have an ICS ROM MIUI v4 and felt that there is no difference between 600 and 806 mhz while running apps. But 600 is much more friendly on the battery. Is it only me or anyone else having this happy problem?
Of course 600 is more friendly on the battery.......overclocking a phone always reduces the battery life of your phone and could lead to damages to your CPU..........so i would advise you to not overclock the phone..........and BTW overclocking doesnt increase the performance to a great extent
600 is "stock", so battery life will always seem better.
Performance-wise, your phone won't work better just by overclocking.
Say for example that you've got 10 apps running in the background, ram left is 2mb, your phone is going to be super-sluggish even at 806mhz.
It's all a question of balancing between background processes, running processes, etc ..

Hi, I'm Spanish, so my English is very poor. I have an HTC Wildfire, and when I installed one rom of Cyanogen, the stable version 7.1, Android 2.3.7 and tried to overclock with the options "Performance", 518mhz of minimum and 768mhz of maximum, the system freezes after a few minutes. I tried several times and with the stable version 7.2, and it is always so. I wonder if you can help me.
Thanks.
Don't clock it to max.
Your phone can't handle it.
Try 528-710 for example.
My phone don't suport 728mhz? Only to 710mhz?

The point I was trying to make is to try a lower frequency. Doesn't necessarily have to be 710MHz

I can't overclock my WF to the maximum too so i clocked it to 729mHz and it runs fast aswell. I don't think you notice the 30mHz difference.

The hardware may vary (slightly or even significantly) in both directions (some people may overclock to more than 768MHz while others even can't up to 710). Varies also with different kernels - but freezes generally are a sign that you've gone over max - independant from your kernel).
From my experience it doesn't really make a big difference if I set 710 or 768 (besides the battery drains faster and my Willy is getting freakin' hot at times) - overclocking is a bit overestimated anyway
After running my wildfire for months at 768 i decided there wasn't much point in going above 633 for the things i did on it. Also the speed margin was minimal.
I'm now on a dual core 1.2ghz s2 running at 1ghz on a single core and its almost doubled my battery life, the 2nd core is hardly used unless its needed so i turned it off, i see no difference in speed but high gains in battery life.....
Sometimes a high Oc isn't what's needed to make a phone faster........

I tried to 748mhz and the Wildfire are ok. Thanks.
everyone has "different" wildfire. For example you get freezes at 768 Mhz but I don't get it and my willy is getting well with it. Anyway, the biggest difference you can see when you overclock willy to 729 Mhz. Higher is not important because you cannot see any difference in performance. You will only drain your battery life

Thanks. I choose the configuration in 518mhz-729mhz in performance. I'm testing this configuration since eleven hours.
IMO bes configuration is from 264 or 176 to 729 and smartass v2 governor. Low values because when ur phone is in sleep mode it drain ur battery less than on 518 mhz (; give a try (;

That's the best configuration for YOU.
Not everyone has the same taste as you
Yes (; for me it is the best so i wrote IMO m8. But i think that this conf. would be much better for battery than yours but urs would be faster of course (;
