Overclocking question? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have a sprint gnex and I never notice the benefits of overclocking it, its the same if on stock speeds or overclocked and the battery is also the same so what's the benefit?

You usually won't notice a performance increase until you play games

Plus there are performance bottlenecks besides CPU... any of those can come into play.
But as was said... memory and graphics heavy games are where you will notice differences.

Do any of you know what a scheduler is when you go to the CPU settings? I never know which one to pick

Alright let me tell u something.
Clock it down and tell me how slow it is.
So yes over clocking does make a difference. Especially on interactive.

The scheduler controls read/write requests to the flash memory (or HHD in PC)
What options you have available for scheduler depends on the ROM/kernel.
Most should have Noop, and it is a good choice, just stick with it.

Ondemand vs Conservative Battery Life

Both are pretty good but i wanna know which have the better battery life ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
Interactive works best for me. Both those you mentioned have given me lag at different parts. On demand IMO is better for battery.
zippity doo da.
Based on personal experience, conservative will offer better battery life as it is more restrictive about how much power the processor uses. It can get a little annoying as sometimes it will cause the phone to lag/not perform at 100%. Ondemand is more commonly used because it usually offers the best mixture of battery life and performance. The name is self explanatory as it puts out more when u need it. Like I said, I am no expert,I'm just basing this off of personal experience

conservative gives me best battery life
Conservative will.
i think the new Wheatly governor by Ezekeel on his GLaDOS kernel smashes both ondemand and conservative ... IMO
Conservative has better battery life.On demand = better performance

That's what is is supposed to do. It runs at max frequency and uses different power states. You just have to read the main post in his thread.

Omg this governor is AWESOME. Lost 3% in 24 min

I love google freaks. For general use. ondemand is better than conservative. The delays between higher frequency leads to longer active state time and therefore bigger power drain.
Conservative is good for high power cpus and in situation with long cycles in particular software.
Interactive.

Why do people have different opinions on something that should be clear?
I'm confused now
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
ondemand has better race to idle (at least if I understand correctly) than conservative, so it actually ends up saving more
on the other hand, conservative can be better if constantly performing low-powered task (e.g. listening to music)
wheatley combines both depending on the situation

Overclock

What is the highest stable speed that you can overclock the Verizon nexus to? Also, how do you do it?

varies from phone to phone.
you need a kernel that has the values for overclocking.
Well, the furthest I've ever seen a GNex do was 1844.2 MHz, on both cores.
But as far as I'm aware, the furthest you can go with, by downloading a kernel from here, is 1650 MHz, with imoseyon's kernel.
I tried overclocking my Gnex before - it worked fine but as you already asked: Why? I have not find any reason to stay overclocked. In my opinion everything already is very fluent.

Actually for me the max is1.72Ghz,stable...
@Familyguy59:no,Glados kernel,Trinity kernel and Air kernel have overclock higher than 1.65ghz...

Yes, I noticed that a few hours later, after posting ^^ But then again, he asked for stable, my GNex was literally melting and constantly crashing, after I flashed Glados... (Back cover got replaced...)

No one can tell you what the highest stable overclock for your phone will be. Sure, they can tell you what their individual hardware can achieve, but that does not extrapolate into what your phone can or cannot achieve. There's normal variance from phone to phone even if they're configured exactly the same.
Also, this is one of those things that, if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be doing. Not having a firm grasp on what your doing and the consequences thereof is a fast and easy way to end up with a paperweight.

I agree with najaboy, if you don't know how, don't. You'll probably break something.
Look up how to do it instead so you learn.

[Q] Does GPU underclock when not in heavy use?

I have been looking at jelly bean trinity kernels and I have noticed that they come in different GPU speeds. I was wondering if the GPU stays at 100% the whole time or does it underclock its self when not in heavy use?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The gpu scales too, just like the CPU, albeit at different frequencies, if my memory serves me right (it never does) its like 143, 266 and 384 MHz. Something like that anyway.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah, I believe it uses steps like the CPU for when its not using heavily graphics or calculations.
I think the actual process is a bit more complicated because (if I recall right), the CPU and GPU are integrated.

Conservative governor. Strangely good experience with Franco kernal

I've had a strangely smooth and good experience on Franco's kernel on cm9 with the conservative governor on the stock frequencies. Scrolling seems less jittery and the battery is excellent. It must priorities the threads differently than other governors.
I am on 196 512 gpu. Easily getting over 4 hours screen on time close to 5 on my vzw nexus.

Franco kernel on CM9
I was trying Franco kernel on CM9, but I noticed that System settings would FC when I went into Storage. Thought maybe they aren't compatible. If you've been using that combo for a while with no other problems, maybe I'll give it another shot. Are you pretty confident with it?

Gnex CPU frequency

Wandering if changing the frequency from 1200MHz to 920MHz will increase the battery by alot? Also will the speed decrease by alot??
Any harm of doing this??

You'll see some improvement. Can't hurt anything. Test it and see your results

Battery will probably be about the same and no the speed will not decrease

Yeah wont be to big of an increase the screen is what sucks up most of the juice.. you'd have better results lowering the screen down to a minimum.
