Hi everyone i just installed an app called CPUbenchmarking from the market , and @ my surprise it said that ur cpu speed is 550mghz !!!!!
shouldn't it be 1ghz ????
is there any other way to test my cpu frequency ?
Thx in advance .
I got 998mhz with same app.
yea same
The Desire is constantly underclocking itself when not in use, mine is regularly down at 285Mhz.
even when i run stress test it says 550 ...
i'm using MoDaCo R3.1 For Desire ...
and the hardware "field" is empty (when running the program it says
CPU SPEED : 550 MGHZ -- HARDWARE : )
is that normal ?
anyother program to check the frequency ?
thanks !
EDIT : Installed a widget from the market ( altough the dev himself said to not isntall it in its comment ... )
and it showed many change of frequency ...
first 245 as soon as going to camera , 998 , then 768 , and then Droping to 245 ...
so why CpuBenchmarking can't see the correct Frequency ??
thx
For me it says too 550GHz, but who cares. Have you worked on a 550GHz CPU phone? I did 5 hours ago. It's S.L.O.W.
The desire reduces speed when not needed but boosts it when needed, best way to run a phone as ut saved battery life.

I'm guessing you mean 550 MHz because i don't think they make desktop processors which go 550 GHz so let a lone a phone.

SetCPU and force it to run at 998mhz all the time. But obviously your battery will drain and phone could possibly have heat problems.

Can we please switch phones? :> hehe
And if you think 550GHz is slow you have some awesome requirements xD
Jokes away..
@op
I don't think you should take it so seriously you wouldn't be in doubt if you only had a 550M processor
i think the software was buggy ...
installed Quadrant benchmark , and it gave me a full spec of my Cpu ( max freq , min frequ , current frequ , ... ) and it was correct ... 998mghz ...
thx everyone
Hi there, the current CPU max for Desire HD on stock is 1GHz.
If we change to other custom ROMs and it allows us increase the normal 1GHz to say, 1.5GHz.. (overclocking?) will it damage our hardware?
Cause as far as I know the software should be supported with a powerful hardware as well.
Overclocking always has the possibility to damage the cpu. And as not all cpu's are the same, if you want to overclock, the best way is to start of slowly say 1.1ghz. And keep stepping it up slowly. If your device begins to get unstable, go back a step, and you will pretty much know the level of your cpu fyi ive had mine overclocked to 2ghz and it seemed to run fine, although i didnt keep it at that level for long. lol

I've been using minne over clocked at 1.5ghz since the day I bought it and I've not noticed anything as far as hardware failure. Being a computer technician I'm constantly trying to run what I have at the fastest rate without fail. I've not felt any overheating and per temps I've only seen about a 5-8°c increase over another user at work on the same ROM.

I have been running mine DHD at 1,2 for some time and ofc there is a chance that the CPU fries, because of the OC, but I don't think the chance is very big.
But please remember that the warranty of the phone dosn't cover overclocking
Hmm.. ok. Thanks for the advice.
I shall consider carefully before doing anything. Currently I am at only 1190MHz. Lol.
Anyway thanks again.
Well,I am running a really nice 1.8GHz,stable and fast as hell.Never noticed any overheating.
What most people should bear in mind is that the physical limits of our cpus aren't the ones that the manufacturers tell us they are with their spec sheets.Almost always,cpus are tested in higher clock speeds than what they are sold with,just to be stable and safe.
And one more thing.Correct me if I'm wrong,but doesn't the Flyer share the same cpu as the DHD?Cause it runs @1.5GHz stock.If they have the same cpu,guess what this means for us!

In setcpu,go to the info tab and do a stress test for some minutes.If it doesn't crash or anything you're good to go!
Thanks.
I did two ten-minute tests in SetCPU, the first 1,53Ghz and second 1.61Ghz, both without errors.
Anyone have any idea ?
Lol. Guess I will just try increasing the GHz slowly. Trying 1.3 now
I dived straight in, and set it to 1.5. No problems so far. Done a stress test successfully. But is there any need to increase the minimum level?

If you clocked your cpu too high, your complete phone will freeze. That means the only possibility to restart it is by pulling the battery.
If your browser closes suddenly without any notification, it's app related and not due to an overclocked cpu.

Well,to overclock you'll need a custom kernel,which means you'll have to be rooted and have at least clockworkmod recovery installed.ENG and Radio S-OFF are recommended.

ok I know, but I do not understand why when I enter the page, for example: speedtest, after a few seconds the phone is completely frozen (o / c) 1.22Ghz
I watch movies, play games, do tests, benchmark, etc. (o / c) 1.22 Ghz - 1.53Ghz. Everything is ok.
just a few seconds in the flash player and death:
Did someone try do downclock CPU to say 800MHz. Will it improve battery life?

Well,as AndroHero said,Flash is quite CPU intensive.However,your problem could be caused by the fact that your CPU isn't as "good" as others.By "not good" I don't mean that your CPU's quality is bad,it's just that it is unique like every CPU(nanometer scale devices like transistors are hard to be produced and be exactly the same one with another) and it might need you to up the voltages for higher frequencies.That by itself is no problem.
If the problem is indeed your CPU's limits,as it could be app related as Flussen said,and if you are running LeeDroid's rom or at least have his kernel installed,I could provide you with the OC script I am using myself.You see,I too am "suffering" from problems with the CPU not being able to handle too high overclocks,so I had to up voltages.Fortunately not much!

Well,in theory it should improve battery life.But calculating battery performance is a hard and tricky process.Just think about it this way;The CPU will run at lower voltages while at its reduced max frequency,thus needing a smaller electric current.However,it will need to run at the max speed for a larger amount of time.So,what you finally get is reduced drain,but for longer periods,meaning the gains in battery life could be minimum to non-existent.I for one am running 1.8GHz and battery life is just as good as @1GHz.

Brother this is 3rd time i am replying you in this topic..
I have already suggest you too keep min 352 and Max 710 in setcpu which is very much stable for me...
If your phone is not supporting the overclocking more than 691 than you can flash a new kernel (may help).
You can use InfinityPlay from here
Make sure to take a nandroid...
and one thing whatever you do it will be sole responsibility of yours so read before doing anything..
I think the above explanations will help you...
Press Thanks if I helped you...

I use scaling on demand 480-710 and it works fine : )
i run games fine on 652MHz, any higher and my launcher becomes jumpy and the system is just loose and unstable. Plus I see massive decrements in battery life at higher clock speeds.
Really u dont want to clock ur buzz higher than 700MHz - the battery and CPU will get too hot as there arent any cooling capabilities in a phone. If u want to game seriously buy a phone with a better processor if u want higher speeds than that.
I have htc wildfire s ...i hav rooted ...i want to overclock it 806 mhz.....pls tell me the procedure to overclock..
I am using htc wildfire rom ..pls help
First you need a kernel that supports overclocking.
If you using a stock Rom then look for the kernel that matches your Android version eg. 2.3.3 or 2.3.5 you will find them in the development section posted by Jikantaru
If you install a custom Rom then it will most likely have an overclockable kernel baked in.
To change clock settings I recommend 'no frills CPU' search it in the market or you could use set CPU.
Once you install one of the above apps then change the min and max sliders to the desired frequency.
if we over clock it much does it effect the speed or hardware of the phone?
Your phone may hang.
There is SetCPU for XDA members:

You will definitely get better performance and it shouldn't cause you any problems.
Use no frills CPU I find its better than set CPU, when restarting your phone set CPU doesn't keep your overclock settings even though its set on boot.
As for the govonor settings I would choose smartass2 and noop for the scheduler.
I would keep the minimum frequency on 245MHz it can go lower but it could cause some issues (lag and slow unlocking and waking)
Note: not all cpu's are capable of running at the same speed, I'm lucky mine can run at 806MHz but some people have issues.
If you notice any problems like freezing etc, then drop the speed to a lower frequency until you find the sweet spot for your CPU.
I had mine at 806 MHz with no problems

Should be fine mate.
But remember if in the very unlikely event something does go wrong I wont be held responsible.
youll have to need an overclock kernel for that. (and a rom which supports one)
go for dust kernel or cake kernel! These two are well known for high end kernels!
Hey, i have this problem from the begining...
So i have android version 4.2.2.
I'm running phone on franco Kernel 3.0.85 with Paranoidandroid Rom 3.56, Also i use app to OC my phone to 1,6ghz.
So everything is okay expect gaming , example when i play temple run 2 and i set on the best quality it will not run smooth you can see lags ingame and i think this phone should run it easily.
I was reading forum but i didn't found any solution for my problem, i tried to find busfreq_static with following informations :
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/busfreq_static
but there's no busfreq_static file when i enter to cpufreq directory , i use File Explorer just to check am i able to find busfreq_static file but i can't.
Any solution , any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

first, dont OC to 1.6!! the following may help you:
go to Settings and click on Developer Options and enable Force 4x MSAA. Multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) is a technique used to improve image quality. Since the Gnex has a GPU capable of supporting MSAA. Keep in mind this will also cause your GPU to work harder and your device may get hotter and consume more power than normal. It’s also possible that all games may not support this.

I'ts not problem about OC , even if i set to 1,2ghz there are no changes , i just dont know what could be the problem , cuz the game runs smooth on other phone which is not good as this one , thats weird , im not controlling voltages , i didn't touch anything.

No , it didnt help. I already tried it before , but when i Force 4x MSAA it just makes game more lagy , maybe cuz of game , anyway i gave an example Temple Run 2 , but even other 3D games are laging , why shouldnt I OC to 1.6 , could brick phone or ?
It can blow up your cat. If it's the same with 1.2GHz... Why are you OC'ing? Go do some reading on voltage control and smartreflex on 4460.
Something tells me you're forgetting basics on how to OC on this device. If you don't supply enough voltage for all the cpu steps, device will stutter and lag, might even reboot.

first thing you need to do is disable SmartReflex® across the board, so that your user-defined voltages stick.
messing with voltages is very device-specific. increment voltage by small ammounts, stress-test and use the device for a while to make sure it's stable.
have you tried running those games while running Google's stock kernel?

Do you even know anything about ROMs and kernels?
When I said have you tested this on stock kernel, I meant, did you try this on stock ROM, but specified kernel because, it's like, common knowledge for someone who flashes ROMs, that custom ROMs devs often alter kernel (and ramdisk) to support features on their custom roms..
Have you for example tried reflashing PA, and just PA, nothing else? Does it lag then?
Have you for example tried fully reverting back to stock? (factory images)
Why is it that you just want your games not to lag, not even trying to gain a deeper understanding about what people are telling you.
Listen, this is the last time I'm saying this:
I told you to check your voltages, since you're OC'ing, and expecting SR to do the job for you.
Test by reflashing again PA, with no custom kernel.
Test by going back to stock, through fastboot/factory images.
Temple Run 2 on best quality lags in mine too.Probably it was designed for 1080p.Just keep the graphics a little lower, doesn't affect gameplay or quality
