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.
Hey,
I am currently having official sea15 froyo rom and I want to know the best overclock app and its settings for it to have stable performance and battery life??
Also,will continous overclock to 1ghz hurt my defy or its battery in any way??
Just read a little bit: SetVsel This is the best CPU tweaking app for DEFY, you can download it from the Market.
And the answer is: no, it won't damage your phone, 1.2GHz is still safe. You just have to find the proper vsel values for your phone.
Get vsel, milestone and setcpu and do 1 ghz but scale to 300 when screen is off if your running constant 1 ghz battery will be crap plus it will run hot all the time
Set your vsel to however you feel comfy mine is [email protected] , [email protected] and 58 @ 1ghz goodluck
at 1.1Ghz, 56Vsel is also nice and tested on my device
Hello people
Today I bought my new defy and I'm testing the possibilities of the device.
After some misgivings, I've made a progressive overclock and hit the 3GHz mark.
Someone has already gone beyond that and know if the device remains stable? Here it is running at 3GHz for an hour and not warmed more than 1 º C and not spent too much power. And yes, he is set to keep the clock all the time.
Did someone made this as well?
Edit: I can't post the Screenshots 'cause I'm a new user. If someone are interested in it, I can send it by pm.
I went to 1ghz and no further... you must have money to burn (or phones to burn!)
The phone didn't overheat. Even after one hour at 3GHz, the temperature did not rise more than 1 º C.
I wonder if anyone else has ventured within the limits of overclocking.
Even at 3GHZ, there's nothing gain as no apps or games need that power to run at the moment. All apps and games would run smooth even at 1GHZ. Possibility at this 3GHZ is only a fried processor if the phone won't do the auto shut down.

It's still on and working without overheating, but I noticed the needless of this clock
I'll set the clock for 1.5ghz.
What rom do you recommend to me? I'm using Cyanogenmod rc 1.5.
3GHz is impossible, over 1.5GHz CPU can't work, you can set 10GHz, but will be exactly the same as 1.5GHz
May it be 3.0ghz only on the display but no in the system?
I'm new on this phone and don't know so much about it
3GHz? Hehe!
Yes, on screen it's shows 3GHz. But, like bvbfan said, I think it's only on screen and not the true frequence of the clock.
What program I can use to check this?
I'm using CyanogenMod Rc 1.5
Im running my Defy on 1 Ghz for ages now.
Never had a problem and i think going any further will not be healthy for your phone especially when you increase the vsel over 58
however you make it happen, it is fake. simply because of no heat. it is not really 3GHz, just a number you see on screen. run Quarant and see if it is really 3GHz
The current kernel won't let you overclock anywhere above 1.3 ghz. Its ARMv7 CPU limit I believe.

Just download SetVsel from Play Store, then search in Google for Defy overclocking.
Overclocked Since 1 Year
I am using Aero Control with the following settings:
GPU freq : 266MHz
VSEL Levels:
400/34
800/44
1100/56
1300/66
Governer: Interavtive
Current ROM: CM11 by Quarx 2
Kernel: 29/7 kernel by Blechdose
It is stable. No heating issues whatsoever :angel:
If i overclock but only when need more perform power whats the adverge life i ll get out my phone?
First of all how much do you want to overclock: 1,1-2,0 ghz ?
If you overclock to 2 ghz ( if you're phone is stable ) you will be sure you get a huge drain in lifetime. I have my phone overclocked to 1.4 ghz as I think this frequency doesn't harm your phone.
Second is not all the cpu's are the same, for me every frequency is stable, but maybe youre phone is only stable up to 1,4 ghz ( for example ). So keep that in mind.
The fact is you can't exactly say how long youre phone will last at what frequency as every phone's cpu is different. But I suggest, don't go over 1,5-1,6 ghz as you won't get any noticeable performance boost after that and at higher frequencies it does harm your phone.
So make a profile in "setxperia" and call it power or something you like, set it to 1,4 ghz max and threshold to 99 governor ondemand. This works the best for me, and if you don't need the power ( not gaming ) then switch it back to your normal profile i.e default.
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?
