(Q)Over-Clocking and Under-Volting - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

havent tried Ocing in my arc,im curious is it really a big difference
from 1ghz Ocing to 1.4 or higher?and the only way to O/C is to unlocked bootloader and use different kernel?is there a stable and safe frequency?tested in a daily usage..

Well, I'm currently running at 806Mhz, I was previously at 1.2Ghz and to be honest, I don't see any difference.

You may try to flash the DoomKernel on your device. It will give you rootaccess, the possibility to over and underclock. But first you need to unlock your bootloader.
I overclocked my Arc to 1,9ghz Max running for days without any problems. I dont recommend much higher or it will run stuck and you may damage your device.
Only overclock your device when you have a good feeling about it

so does that mean i can't over clock to let's say 1.4 GHz and let it be like that for daily use ? either with DoomLord ROM or CM7 ROM..

You can overclock, but ARE YOU REALLY need 1,8Ghz??? All day.
Stock you had 1Ghz and its already fast.
When you doing some grazy OC lets say 1.9ghz your device may be unstable after that.
Most people using 1,2 or 1,4ghz because its stable and not draining battery a lot.
I use 800-900mhz and very happy.
Whay we always talking overclocking, but not "downclocking"
Edit: doomlord kernel max is 2.0Ghz but dont forget about stock is 1ghz....so 2 times faster BUT not all devices are stable with this insane speed.
CM7 and FXP kernel max 1,6Ghz and its rock solid stable all day and night.

From what I've experienced,
If u set the OC in min 1GHz and max 1.8GHz like what I've done, you will notice that ur phone is going smoother.
Well, this is my opinion..

how much Ghz have you been using?
you using it daily?is it really a big difference?

I overclocked mine to 1.4GHz and use it as daily setup, works smoother and faster.

Cm7 and over clocking

So I have a quick question for people running cm7. I am running cm7 with aveon 6 kernal. I was just wondering what over clock speeds do you guys use?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Dl no frills CPU and test for yoursef, each phone runs defferently and with no frills u can set as boot but if it is not a proper shutdown it will not set just in case it was due to the oc/ UV. Hope this helps and I run 1.5 ghz
Tap'n on miui incredible 2
Plus one on NoFrills. I'm using Aeroevans .7bfs kernel set at 1.2ghz and using the Sio I/O on nightly 133. This works well for me. Good balance of speed and battery life.

OCing over 1.2 is useless unless you want battery to die fast
Running tiamat 1ghz gives me 30hrs on moderate
1.2 about lil more than a day
Tiamat is supposedly come out with new kernel this weekend or next.

I'm using oc/uv beater app with aerovans. 7 bfs and can undervolt. Which app are you using?
With cm7 I actually like to underclock to around 800 with interactiveX. I have hit 1.9 stable using the smooth ass governor, and when I want to over clock I usually go for 1.2 or 1.4

Overclocking

Y can't the Droid incredible overclock past 1190
Sent from my Incredible using xda premium
The short answer is yes it can but it's not worth it as it's not stable
The long answer is the CPU in the phone isn't really well built to be overclocked from what I've read online. I can't get enough stability with the current voltage max (1375 - which is already 50mV higher than stock and 25mV higher than tiamat). I won't go higher than 1375 and I get nearly instant reboots at the next speed of 1.22ghz. A lot of what I read online suggested 1325 is the max voltage with 1.113 ghz. I have issues above 1.113 ghz myself so I doubt any higher than 1.19 is worth it.
So, if my phone can't run it (probably a lot of phones as well) then I'm not doing it.
Though if you REALLY want higher, Tiamat (AOSP kernel) supports up to about 1.26 ghz but only allows 1350mV max so if you want to try overclocking higher you are welcome to do that. I have a feeling you'd be disappointed though as I don't expect to see stability.

[Q] safe overclock?

How much can you overclock HTC Desire HD without damaging the hardware?
And how much do you have your Desire HD overclocked right now?
Sent from my mind.
I'm running the HTC Inspire, which is just the DHD +4g radio, keep that in mind though. It shouldn't affect CPU speeds, but who knows.
I've overclocked to 2.1ghz, but the most you'll ever need is 1.5. Past that you get stability issues and no speed increase, at all. It might even slow you down because of random glitches. Oh, and it gets really, really hot.
I usually stay around 1.2 ghz if I expect heavy usage (gaming, HD video), 700mhz for normal usage (web browsing, ebook reading, music)
I dunno about a safe zone, I've heard 1.5ghz and 1.6ghz, but nothing to back either up.
Thank you for your answer
And anyone else?
Sent from my mind.
Constantly on 1.25, I get glitches if I go higher, have to increase voltage in that case, works great for me this way though...
Depends on the rom. I'm using cm7.2 stable at 1.5 ghz and it's fast with no freezes or crashes
Sent from my laser emitting mammary glands.
It also depends on the hardware. Not all devices can OC to the same amount even if on the same set up
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk 2
1.3 on interactive governor is my usual. Works flawlessly
As Zelendel points out there is no "safe" overclock, anything over 1ghz is outside the manufacturers stated performance and therefore at your own risk.
Yes I know there is a risk, but I know there is a point where the device starts to lag or glitch. Like more than 1.5 GHz

You'd have to test your own hardware, I know of people who can run 2ghz all day and others who struggle with anything over 1.2ghz. Even if you'll run stable at xghz it doesn't guarantee that it's not over stressing your device.

Is there anyway to see if your current overclock is stressing your device?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I can't imagine if you don't touch voltages and only overclock the CPU much can go wrong. In worst case scenario your phone will force reboot if it's OC'ed too high.
I been running my phone on +- 1.5GHz for months now and never had a problem (and definitely higher scores in benchmarks), higher seems useless because in benchmarks you see no more improval.
Anything til around 1.5/1.6GHz should be fine.
I'm currently on rcmixed rom as you can see in my signature, and I'm using daemon controller with andrev_oc using daemon controller standard voltages for overclocking.
what voltage do you use at 1.5 GHz?

It really depends
Hi. It really depends how much your device can be overclocked without losing stability. But I don't think overclocking is really necessary on DHD. With the right ROM, it runs pretty smooth on 1 GHz.
I've installed ARHD 6.3.3. with a couple of its scripts, and it runs extremely smooth on my device and there is no lag whatsoever.
Overclocking really can lower the life of your device.

I can go up to 1.3Ghz, anything higher just freezes the device after some time and I have to pull battery out.

You guys.... stop scarying the people already. Overclocking your device will not break it in any case, most likely will shorten YOUR BATTERY LIFE! But that's it! You will not fry your phone, motherboard, display or whatever. I can ramp my phone upto 2ghz and it has nothing... But 1024 mhz or 1200 is enough!
I had OCed hellboy to 2 GHz...it felt stable but the phone crashed every time i opened an app...anyways 1.2 is best works so smoothly...best for everyday use...

Difference is there. Just to be sure that your phone works at that range (and its not a rom/kernel problem) - install Perfmon from the market and open the CPU section - It will then show you in real time at what range your CPU works. And if 2.0 gh becomes laggy it is because your cpu can go that high. Some cpu's can and others can't. That's just how they work. My old HTC Hero could go upto 691 from 526 default but other HTC Heroes could go upto 740....
Yo Son, Just OC'ed my V to 1.8GHz, it flys. Kill those animation.
When I oc'ed to 2.0GHz stability test Crashed dawg. Stability test it son!
BTW: When I drop to 1.9Ghz throttling issues Nig. So bench your one V too.
now I'm at 1.8GHz it's stable and no heat issues at all.

May I ask why? Not about AnTuTu.. but Quadrant Standard is great!! Even helps in choosing a better ROM.. a little..:cyclops:
The only use I have for benchmarking apps is to compare changes in roms and kernels on your own phone. If you use the same app to benchmark, you can see the different performance gains and losses in various rom and kernel combinations. i really don't think they do any good comparing performance between different phones, but for checking on your own mods they do come in handy.

Use benchmark to determine throttling
Here are some tips I know which increases the benchmark rating..
Use PERFORMANCE as the Governer after overclocking.. And disable 'Force use of GPU for 2D Drawing' in developer options.
