Hello Guys, I was wondering how many ghz I can push my Xperia Arc without having to worry ..
1.6 is the maximum safe level?
And 1.7 is too much?
Thanks to all
DooMLoRD said 1.4 up to 1.6 is safe.
But undervolt it to 1250mV or less, otherwise it runs at a higher voltage than stock which isn't good.
But I can't feel a difference between 1.4 and 1.6, so I use 1.4, just to be on the safe side

I have to undervolt just the 1.6 or also the others values?
All is better,you will get less battery drain.

Hi, im just about to flash leedroids 2.2.3 rom, which can oc to 1.8 ghz with setcpu, just wondering if there are any dangers in having it at this speed? anything to be aware of ?
It might fry your device, it might not, you never know. There's no need to run it at 1,8ghz. I'd recommend max 1,2ghz for daily use though everything runs smoot at 1ghz already.
If you overclock to 1.8Ghz you will increase the risks to fry your CPU(and hence, your device will be destroyed). Lol.
Also overclocking too high can drain your battery real fast. As per Hawks556, max 1.2Ghz would be fine.(perhaps it is almost to optimal)
I overclock mine at 1.16Ghz and it is already very smooth in LeeDrOid.
You may sometimes wish to overclock it until 1.8GHz is just to show off to your peers only. Maybe through quadrants. But later on make sure you underclock it back.
Cheers. =)
thanks for the help, lol whole thing just froze while i was reading it better underclock it lol : /
OC up to 1.5ghz should not harm your device.
Take a look at ths HTC Flyer: it has the same CPU as the DHD but it's set to 1.5ghz by default.
So there is no risk in overclocking up to 1.5ghz in my opinion.

What's a safe level to overclock my phone to? I'm running the latest MIUI (1.9.16) with the lastest Tiamat kernel (1.1.3) I'm at about 1344 MHz right now. Can I go much highter?

From my testing, I've found there isn't to much to be gained going over 1.6ghz.
For a safe level I keep mine at 1.2 ghz. This has worked out well for me. Try different frequencies and see what works out for your needs.
I'm running JDKernel with the max set at 1.5 ghz, using the smartass governor. When I look at the "time in state" info, it usually shows about 75% of my time spent at 768 mhz. Seems to be working great.

Well, I tried bumping it up to 1.6, and I locked my phone and the screen turned off, but the keys stayed on, and it wouldn't come back up. So I pulled the battery and went back to 1.3 like it was before. Now its working great. I'm on smartass v2

If your having lockups, try installing Incredicontrol from the market and bump up the voltage on the higher frequencies 25-50mv, this should keep you from locking up. I do this when I use the performance governor and want to run Quadrant or Linpack .

I've been using SetCPU, cuz I couldn't understand Incredicontrol..... What's ideal if I'm running around 1.6 for voltage?
On the Jd Kernal, I'll bump it up to 1450 and go from there.

So, you don't know about for Tiamat? I'm using that one.
Plus, would anyone recommend using his Incredikernel as well?
I'll go about the same on the Tiamat. I usually will start at 50 mv over whatever the stock setting is on the kernel when running performance runs.
I didn't know that Chad had done a Kernel for Aosp romed Dinc2's. I know his Dinc1 Kernels were great.
I accidently had my phone at 1.9 for a day running jdkernel, no crashes or anything
Atm when my phone is charging, it gets bumped up to 1.4 and i have no issues at that speed.
Installed the JokaWild v3 ROM on my Play and flashed the DooMKerneL v14 ,now i wanna know how to do a safe OC.
I'm using No-frills CPU ,can you tell me the best settings for good and safe OC to XPERIA Play?
Thank you
I dont generally OC my phone beyond 1.2 but you can use this app to run a sereies of tests to determine which OC speed is best for your phone as all phones are different.

I don't overclock mine past 1.4. My play actually reboots if I go 1.6 or more.
I Overclocked my phone to 1.5 and it worked fine. Then tried overclock to 1.6 ,and it's really working good! no bugs ,very fast and the battery stays cool.
I'll stay with my 1.6Ghz overclock ,I think it's enough
What governor / IO scheduler are you guys using? i'm in the same position (jokawild / doomkernel v14 and just installed nofrills cpu) and have read the FAQ, but the version i have seems to have considerably more governors than what has been listed
EDIT: list explaining the governors is here

I'm on SmartassV2.
I once asked this same question ot DoomLord, maker of DoomKernel about which governor and IO to use for best gaming and all around performance.
His recommendation (whihc I have been using since and saw a noticable difference) was to use
Governor: Performance
I/O: BFQ
and I overclock mine to 1.2ghz. My first android phone i oc'd too much, heard a popping noise and BAM.....bu-bye. So I dont go too far..
I generally step up the speed one step at a time until I hit errors that cannot be explained or I get force quits because the phone is running too fast. I suggest going slowly and testing things out but using the governor Performance while the phone is changing. Right now I'm doing okay with smartass v2 at .60/ 1.5 ghz. I might try bumping it up to 1.6 ghz and see how that works tomorrow.

Epic It is like the phone has no battery cuz on this governor, the phone runs at max frequency.

I know I'm mad late, but I was wondering why my phone kept rebooting. I uninstalled all overclocking apps so I thought my profiles would return to normal. Turns out I must have accidentally set the profile to 2ghz max and 2ghz min somehow. My phone was super lagging and thank God it didn't burn out, smh...

I currently have my Play overclocked to 1.6 using the interactive governor. Battery life is great and it runs steady at 60fps in FPSE. Also Mupen64 runs much better. I haven't had any issues with it so far!

What scheduler are you using??
Mine is running fine on 1.4Ghz with SIO scheduler and InteractiveX governor, the bbatery life seems fine as well...
SmartAss always causing lag on me, dunno why...

i use lupus kernel for gb v2 with i/o setting SIO and governor superbad..
and my phone runs well...no lag..
Hey guys ive already overclocked my phone using the lubus gb kernelv12 and i gota say having the extra internal memory (EXTRA 400MB!!!) and the ability to overclock to 1.6ghz is nice, however there are some things i wana ask. Im running at a min 249 and a max of 1613 mhz using no frills cpu with smartassv2 as my governer and noob as be scheduler, it runs miracles in speed, everything i can run at high resolutions and play and top speeds. However i leave my phone like this all the time ( 249mhz 1613 mhz). The smartassv2 governer is ment to only use high cpus when needed, so that in theory means that i wont always be at 1.6ghz. Ive read on other forums keeping your phone overclocked all the time is bad and dangerous but is it really if the max cpu is only being used when needed? In otherwords should i leave it how it is or is it dangerous? My device is an xperia plat btw. :victory:

AFAIK only the Performance gov keeps the phone at the max allowed clock speed (1.6GHz in your case), so it's just fine as it is. You could, however, use an app (the only one I know that does this is SetCPU, there might be others) to make profiles so it'll only be overclocked when playing games/running benchmarks et cetera. This might save you some battery life.
CPU master by antutu allows you to set profiles but you need to buy the pro to do it

Much appriciated for your reply, and thanks button got a smack to.
hello my xperia play is stock 2.3.4 (Dont Say Try GB2JB) debloated with DooMKernal, zram,launcherpro Overclocked to 1.2GHz usually but dont want to go higher its fast yeah but is there anyway to make it even faster than it is with oc even more

Either supercharge it or just overclock more (you don't want it to be higher but still want your phone to be faster?).

1.6 Ghz should be the rough estimate for a stable phone. Anything above 1.6 for me and my phone starts to heat up fast. At 1.9 I could probably cook an egg with it.

I can only get 1.4Ghz before the phone shuts down..
at 1.5+Ghz the phone freezes, is there any reason for this?

Have you tried changing your cpu governor? SmartassV2 allows me to overclock quite a bit over what the standard governors allow me to.

So that's why my phone wouldn't stop freezing and restarting at one point yesterday! Changing the governor and slightly underclocking fixed it.
I recommend installing Project Lard

It truely Works, I spent ages testing it and Performance wise Its SuperSmooth!,C:
I was wondering if any of you maybe know whats the upper limit for overclocking my Lt18i... its at 1.4 Gh atm, was at 1.0 Gh until a few days ago...
At which level do you guys have it...?
I read that it can go up to 2.0 Gz but i dont know how smart that is...

Stock 1.4, good enough. OC doesn't give any big boost, so it is quite pointless.

1.8 GHz and up is dangerous.

Since performance scales pretty linearly with the CPU frequency, OC'ing from 1.4 to 1.6 GHz means a 14 % performance boost. I'd say that's pretty significant.

That's what you think. But it really isn't that.
Go try playing a HD game on the phone, how much difference do you really see between 1.4 Ghz and 1.6 Ghz?

Certainly I won't see any if it is GPU bound. But how often this is the case, I can't tell. I've never played any game on Android. All CPU-dependant apps will gain a 14% performance increase.
I just want app-switching, browsing and all the general stuff to be smooth, so I've OC'd it a little. It doesn't even hurt the battery life (unless you're running at 100% CPU all the time), so why not.
Highest is 2.16, me and my mate OC'd to 2.16 - 2.15 with seperate fan coolers around our phones (35% performance boost)
