Hi friends,can the doomkernel really reach 2ghz?indeed i don't want to burn my xperia but my question is only for curiosity and eventually for testing(but not at 2ghz xd).i know that overclock kill the duration of the battery but what is the max rocksolid frequency?and anyone tested the 1.9/2 ghz ?is it stable?is the performance really increased with overclock?thank you very much
It depends on your specific device for whether 2.0ghz works or not. For mine, 2.0ghz does work (voltage 1500), though I don't use it since I never need that much power. The performance does increase quite a big with overclocking, but it's usually not actually necessary.
About the 2Ghz.
I have DooMKernel 2Ghz installed, but whenever I actually put the slider (on setCPU) on 2Ghz, my phone reboots. The highest I have ever performed a benchmark was 1,7Ghz, but it became very hot. You can try to push it to 2Ghz though, on my phone trying hasn't caused any problems.
1.5 to 1.6 Ghz is the Safest for Xperia Play
So 1.5 ghz... Is fine for xperia play.. But, is what all u talking about related to processor speed.. I m not understanding this concept of overclocking.. N does this overclocking really makes to run the play fast than it is now at 1 ghz...??

overclocking is the process of making the CPU operate faster than specified by the manufacturer. It does indeed make the phone faster, but also makes the battery life shorter.
I've done it, don't really care to though seeing as how it drains the battery way too fast. But it just depends, some phones can handle it and some can't even if they are the same exact phone model

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:
could anyone suggest a safe clock speed for the play? i want to get a bit more power from the stock 1ghz processor but i don't really want to overdo it
Honestly, clock speeds are phone specific. For example, my phone might do just fine at 1.5, but your phone may not be able to go past 1.3, so you need to find your safe zone yourself.
Get an app that handles overclocking, SetCPU, AnTuTu CPU Master, etc. I use Rom Toolbox Pro. Move your CPU one step up, then play around for a while. If your phone doesn't bug out, go ahead and try the next one, until it won't go any higher without bugging out.
Make sure you don't lock your speeds at boot until you're sure it's safe.
I wouldn't recommend going above 1.6ghz even if your phone supports higher frequencies. It tends to get hot quite quickly at such high frequencies, and could be detrimental to the battery
thank you for the advice... ill try to see how my phone reacts to different clock speeds... and not go over 1.6

i usually use 1.6 or 1.8 i feel that you should never oc it to the max it is allowed.
Depends entirely on the 'yield' of each individual processor, most can run over 1ghz but some can't, so to be safe all processors are set to the lowest safe speed.
My XP is stable at 1.8ghz. 1.9ghz causes occasional reboots, 2.0ghz is an instant crash.
Remember your unit will only get warm if the CPU is being worked hard, if it's idle then it will stay cool even at higher clock speeds. Using a more active CPU governer such as 'smartass' or 'interactive' will keep clock speed down when not required.
Also remember you can't overclock on the stock kernel.
Same here, I accidently overclocked to 2Ghz, instant crash. But 1.6Ghz is fine, yet eats battery like it's the cookie monster on crack.
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?

Are there any danger or downsides to preforming oc ? for example from stock speed to 1.3GHz or even 1.4GHz ?
Because the Arc S runs on 1.4Ghz and the GNex on 1.2 and I was wondering why lol
And it will probably decrease lag..I guess.

Well theorically it could damage your phone. But I've been OC since Dec 2011 on the same nexus and nothing is wrong with it.
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Same here, I over clock to around 1.4 and never had issues. My old Samsung Vibrant I had overclocked to 1.6ghz and it was 1ghz stock. Had it for a year like that.
This is MY phone, MY life and MY business. GNex all the way baby. Hit 'Thanks' if I surprisingly helped you.
Remember every chip is different i remember my old nexus s not tolerating oc however with my gnex i've never actually oc'd for extended periods the highest i've oc'd with long term use would be 1.3, however you should be careful while oc/uv-ing, remember to UNTICK the set on boot option if your using trickster
the only downsides maybe if you oc too much and drain your battery quickly .
there is a temp throttle in most oc enabled kernels, just make sure you leave that on after oc/uv.
and yeah like irizwan mentioned, theoretically it CAN damage your phone, realistically, ive been sitting on 1.5ghz max for over a year now, and it is still good as new.
possibly due ot the fact that i dont play any games on the phone and I only browse the web for short periods through out the day on the phone.......
but yeah, you get the point.....downside? it kills your battery, thats it.
I think OP should tell us what he's trying to achieve here. Lag? Maybe its just your governor that could use a few touches.

Hello, my problem is that i installed extreme Kernel and want to OC my CPU up to 2 or 2.3GHz and every time i select this frequence, my Phone reboots because i can't Overvoltage my CPU.
Can someone explain me how to Overvoltage my CPU.
Xperia Play 800i
ROM NXT Gaming 1.2
Kernel Extreme Kernel
Do ya want to burn your SoC? Reboot is because not-so-good-quality of crystal, so better for you not to try changing voltage.
If i brick one of my phones it doesn't matter, i have another Xperia Play.
But i want to get more Speed out of it.
1.6GHz is to slow for me.
Then I am sorry, you have wrong phone.
This is an old phone with a old SoC, It is not meant to go that high.
Instead check out you background programs, rom and what cpu profile you got. If this tweaking don't make your play good enough get a new phone.
