What is a safe frequency to over lock my Nexus to? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I tried over clocking to 1.92 Ghz, and my phone rebooted on me and went back to 1.2 ghz. I over clocked to 1.8 ghz and my phone mad a slight buzzing noise and rebooted and went back to 1.2 ghz. I'm not on 1.6 ghz and so far everything is working correctly. How can I tell if my CPU is damaged/ fried and what is a safe frequency would you say? I'm on Franco kernel.

1.9 is probably too high... I wouldn't go over 1.5ghz if you want your phone to last. Besides, everything is smooth at stock speeds.
The CPU doesn't really get damaged but instead had it's life shortened when you oc'ed it that high.

Regard overclocking to 1.8 ghz

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.

[Q] Overclocked Kernel

http://androidcommunity.com/samsung...-benchmarks-nearly-7800-in-quadrant-20111110/
I read this article and noticed they mentioned the G2X which is for T-Mobile. Is this kernel for our SGSII?
Sent from my SGH-T989
that looks like the "classic" SGS2 clocked @1.2 Ghz stock
I'm guessing this will not help us in any way. Thanks for the quick response I'm at work and dont have enough down time to do my research.

The phone in question is the one with the Exynos (spelling?) processor which supposedly runs faster and better than our Qualcomm one.
But by no means is our Qualcomm processor a slouch.
well according to that blog, they went from 1.2 Ghz stock to 1.6 Ghz... that's gonne be melting real soon
while our phones stock is 1.5 Ghz and even running at 1.8 Ghz continuously is still within safe temperature above normal
one night i fell asleep while playing a GPU CPU intensive game, and when i woke up the phone was WARM but not BURNING HOT
according to temp sensors it was at 48c
unless it goes beyond 50c i wouldn't be worried
my i7 extreme edition has been running on 60c 24/7 for the past 3 (almost 4) years just fine

[Q] overclocking time

If i overclock but only when need more perform power whats the adverge life i ll get out my phone?
First of all how much do you want to overclock: 1,1-2,0 ghz ?
If you overclock to 2 ghz ( if you're phone is stable ) you will be sure you get a huge drain in lifetime. I have my phone overclocked to 1.4 ghz as I think this frequency doesn't harm your phone.
Second is not all the cpu's are the same, for me every frequency is stable, but maybe youre phone is only stable up to 1,4 ghz ( for example ). So keep that in mind.
The fact is you can't exactly say how long youre phone will last at what frequency as every phone's cpu is different. But I suggest, don't go over 1,5-1,6 ghz as you won't get any noticeable performance boost after that and at higher frequencies it does harm your phone.
So make a profile in "setxperia" and call it power or something you like, set it to 1,4 ghz max and threshold to 99 governor ondemand. This works the best for me, and if you don't need the power ( not gaming ) then switch it back to your normal profile i.e default.

Agat 0.4.2 Volts versus Stock?

Hey everyone I'm a bit new here, I mostly lurk lol. But I just had 2 questions on stock volts/undervolting
I'm running Agat 0.4.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421) and
I couldn't find the stock voltages for the phone listed anywhere. Can anyone confirm these are the same as stock kernel within the 200-1200mhz range?
Also would -50mV drops be safe across the board on Agat Kernel?
1600Mhz __1400mV
1500Mhz __1375mV
1400Mhz __1325mV
1300Mhz __1300mV
1200Mhz __1274mV
1100Mhz __1225mV
1000Mhz __1175mV
900Mhz ___1125mV
800Mhz ___1075mV
700Mhz ___1025mV
600Mhz ___1000mV
500Mhz ___975mV
400Mhz ___975mV
300Mhz ___975mV
200Mhz ___950mV
100Mhz ___925mV
50Mhz ____900mV
25Mhz ____875mV
Yes that is what I was running for a while....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I usually run 200Mhz @ 800mV, 500Mhz @ 900, 800Mhz @ 950mV and so on. I had a stable UV of about 25-50mV lower but i swapped ROMs and a little reboot gremlin appeared. These things UV quite well until you start overclocking. I haven't been able to get a stable OC yet but I'm sure it's my device that's being a party pooper ;-p
