[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.

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

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.

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] Over clock not working

I just over clocked, well I should say tried because it's not even working. I set the min/max at 1.5MHz but for some reason it's not using it at all, in CPU spy it's showing that it's staying at 800MHz. Anyone know why it would be doing this? I'm running Rujelus 1.0.4.8, with Agats 0.5.4.

You must mean 1500 MHz. What program are you using to overclock? Also, what is your governor?

Yeah sorry, and the governor is pegasusq, and using ExTweaks. Would it be because it was on the charger? Well actually I don't think it could be, because before doing that I set min at 1200MHz and max at 1500 while still on the charger and it was staying on 1200.

Not all hardware can be overclocked, if it could we would all have 1500mhz cpu in our phones. Have you tried increasing your voltage?

No, I've never messed with that because I don't know what exactly I am doing with it, and I don't want to mess up my phone.

I just realized that I had profiles on, so I turned them off. Still isn't working right, I have min at 1500 MHz and max at 1600MHz. It kicks into 1600 for a few seconds but then scales below the min. Here's a screen shot of the setting and CPU spy.

Often when you overclock additional voltage is needed to run stable at higher frequencies. You may try increasing the voltage slightly to see if it works. I wouldnt go over +.50mv from stock

if your still having problems try viperROM. i got it working with oc. 1600Mhz. even got a higher smartbench scrore then my nexus 7

Kernel inquiry

Ive been working(slowly due to work) on a kernel for the lgog. I've been able to do some pretty heavy overclocking but I need some community preference.
Overclocking obviously causes more heat and reduced battery life. Higher overclocks require overvolting beyond required to maintain 1.5ghz set by Qualcomm/lg. Keep this in mind before asking for 2.0+ overclocks in daily kernels.
What top clock are you guys wanting for a performance kernel? Also are you guys interested in a reduced clocks kernel. 1.0-1.2 top clock with a lowered low end clock along with lower GPU and system clocks.
Personally I Dont see a big need in heavy overclocking on a quad core. However I would like some opinions before I release test kernels. I will attempt to see just how far the lgog can go at least once, but that will take around 10-20 test kernels to find the top speed.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

The highest overclock that I would like to see is around 1.7-1.8Ghz even though I don't know what I would need my phone running that fast for. Now the under clocked kernel sounds very interesting .

Just looking at how this governor uses CPU, it hardly uses the middle ranges. Maybe some better governors? Just another thought.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

I would be interested in a kernel with A 1.8 top speed slightly lower bottom end and different governors. While 1.5 is fast 1.8 with a better governor along with a 128 minimum speed would be a good comprise kernel

I don't know of anyone having speed issues to warrant an over clocking kernel, seems more for bragging rights.
I think most people would want a kernel that saves battery but doesn't compromise on speed. Also, have you looked into the wake lock issue yet?

I'll probably use faux's volt control. This is my first Qualcomm kernel so I've been mainly running through it. The n4 is far far far cleaner. Our source is a jumbled mess to an extent.
Also the other devs have found a way to run n4 stock ROM with kernel. However finding the best way for everyone to benefit is being sought after.

I've found that undervolting by more than 50mV doesn't agree with my phone. At -50mV I do notice that my phone runs cooler, haven't done enough tests to see the difference in battery life though.

Also trying to set up a performance setting or wondering if that would even help with the streaming of movies to my ps3 through dlna file sharing. Thought overclocking would help. No use vi just can't figure it out. Any ideas on that issue?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

I can't think if any reason for using the performance governor. That causes your cpu to run at max frequency all the time and would be terrible for your battery. Would also cause your phone to get verrrry hot. For things that require good performance you're best off using on demand. Overclocking could help i guess but I've never had the need to overclock... Then again I've never done what you're trying to do. Can't even imagine the need to overclock a quad core phone clocked at 1.9GHz
