[Q] How fast is your Epic?

Ok, I have search, but didn't find anything like this. I am wondering for those that can overclock, what speed do you use for your daily driver? I don't mean what speed you use just to play with benchmarks.
I know the faster you overclock you have more battery drain, so answer honestly!
I'll be first, I normally run at 1.3ghz, but am now trying 1.4ghz to see how much more battery drain I will have. I love my epic, it has always been fast and stable. What I run is in my signature.
If you feel like it, list your rom, kernel, and what you use to set it. It will be cool to see how fast you guys like to run on a daily diet!

I run at 1ghz... But when aosp roms come out probly 800mhz... My phone doesnt lag at all i see no need for overclocking other than banchmarks.

I run at 1.2 whenever I can, it shouldn't drain your battery unless yur playing games and shhtuff.

Same as deano, 100-800mhz conservative, 90% of the time, 100-1200 ondemand rare. I UV also so the 100-800mhz really gets great life.

I run at 1400/100 "on demand" all of the time when on Froyo. No undervolting. I have 2 stock batteries so battery life isn't my #1 priority...everything working and stability is and fortunately 1400 is totally stable for me. I saw a greater performance increase from 1300 to 1400 than I did from 1200 to 1300

I can almost echo your findings, except I have been running 1300. Out of curiosity how much more battery did you use when you jumped from 1300 to 1400 if you remember?.
I also undervolt a little more from 600 on down than 800 and up, but I rather have more stable than more undervolt. I can't believe how nice hte eipic is even against the current crop of phones. I love it!

Running "on demand" I have noticed very little difference going up to 1400 because its only there maybe 30 minutes per battery charge. It only uses that top setting when its needed. Keeping the undervolt away from those high states will ensure more stability since most of our phones require the voltage on those overclocked states like 1300 and 1400. If you get -25 or -50 stable on those high states, you are pretty lucky

I use CFQ and run -50 on 100 - 200 - 300 - 400 - 600 and -25 on 800 - 1000 - 1200 - 1400 and is rock solid thru all of those frequencies.
Do you know if it is better to run less steps, something like 100 - 300 - 600 - 1000 - 1400 rather than how I have it set as above?

My phone doesn't like 1.4 jiggawatts. I stay at 1.2GHz. I'm running stock ec05 rfs with genocide. 4 hours and 10 minutes in I'm at 68%. With moderate to heavy use. I've been in bed for 2 days with a corneal abrasion. My phones the only thing I can play with lol

I ise 100, 200,400,600,800,1000,1100 or 1120 (depends on kernel) and 1400. Its as smooth as can be so I don't try going with less frequencies

The best way to test stability is to max out both sliders, delect "performance" DON'T SET ON BOOT, and run benchmarks. If it doesn't crash after a few minutes, you should be ok.

I'm using voltage control. You mean to force the phone to stay at 1.4ghz?

I'm at 1.3ghz. CM7 doesn't like 1.4 for whatever reason.
Not undervolted, but i'm getting 24 hours with 65% leftover.

SetCPU, What are your settings?

Anyone try SetCPU after rooting? I can adjust the min down to 192mhz. Anyone have any idea how safe it is yet as far as sleep of death?
Sorry if this is not in the correct forum

You can test whatever you'd like. I tried it too so just don't check the option for set at boot.
-Hercules composed this post and threw it at your face to be read-

Just worried since it is my alarm clock too, a sleep of death could lead to a sleep of no job

Some believe tegrak is better for samsungs
Sent from my SGH-T989

i believe there was something about needing a custom kernel that supports a cpu oc app. something about it not engaging both cores... just one of them. somebody out there knows more than me about this i'm sure.

I think i remember dsexton702 talkin about needing a kernel for tegrak to function properly

A custom Kernel is only needed Fri overclocking.

Tegrak probably won't work properly if I'm correct set cpu or oc/uv beater should be fine. Tegrak was used for samsung processors. Qualcomm processors are able to scale better at lower or higher frequencies.

It will never engage both cores that is asynchronous. Both processors work independently from each other. This is why you see lag. Both processors are never at their full potential. Qualcomm design the processors for best battery life in mind with good performance. There is a way to get both cores to be synchronized though if it matters to you. But expect worst battery life.

The one we have should also overclock very nicely. The APQ8060 is the same one in the Touchpad and that one easily does 1.9Ghz.

When I installed setcpu and had it auto dectect speeds It atuomatically set the min at the max and the min at the highest clock speed. Is that normal? Did anyone else notice that?

That's normal. I have noticed the same thing on the g2x and g2. I wouldn't worry about it unless it won't let you change it.

Yes. But you would need a kernel that supports Overclocking and Undervolting.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Kernel that is only undervolted but not overclocked?

Can someone post a link to a kernel that runs at the stock 1.5ghz but is undervolted? I don't care about performance. Just want the best battery life. Thanks!!

Almost any kernal is better in battery than stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777

you can easily limit the CPU to not go over 1.5 or even 1.0
when i really want to save battery i keep CPU at 800 Mhz or 1.0 Ghz

Any of the kernels in the development section can be either under bolted or over clocked. I'm using synergy the way it comes out of the box and its great. Standby battery drain is unbelievable.

why dont u UV ur 1.5ghz to 1.0ghz voltage? or near there?

That would be underclocking not under volting

true, but i find it more effective than UV
yes, we can keep it at 1.5 Ghz with say -0.010v or something like that
it's just a minor hassle to tweak
you can open a Terminal in your phone and launch the command
some apps like the faux can let you control the voltage as well

[Q] Cpu governor problems with Viper x 2.2.1

Hi everybody this is my first post on xda.
love the forum!
I searched the forum about thi little problem im having with Viper x rom since i got the last OTA update 2.2.1, but did not find any answer to this or my searching skill sux.
So when ever i try to set Cpu governor to for example Conservative my htc one x reboots by it self after a minute or so.
Setting my Cpu governor to conservative does not stick after rebooting,
I am stock kernel i tried using faux m007 but my device rebooted again.
What am i doing wrong here?
Nice to be here and thank you all for help.

Use interactive. That's the recommended governor.

Well i set to Interactive and i dosent reboot thats good but i was really hoping for Conservative so i could get some more battery time.
But then again i have been getting really good battery time with Viper X and stock kernel, so mabey problem solved??
But i am still a little curios to why my phone reboots when i choose Conservative
Thanx for your time =)

Doesn't conservative lock the CPU to its lowest speed? That is probably why it's crashing
