[Q] R800x, Post your Overclock CPU speeds below.... - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, so I currently have my PLAY set to 1.2ghz. My first android phone I OCd from 600mhz to 1ghz and one day while playing a game I heard a loud pop noise, then my phone shut off and that was that... toast. So I have been extremely leary of overclocking now. I am aware there are users who have OCd their phone to 1.4+
My question is how safe is when I use No frills to OC is it ramping up the volts to get that extra power. Also according to the Snapdragon layout it lists the S2 in our phones as capable of 1-1.5ghz... does this mean I could technically go up to 1.5 and be OK? I have a large 3600mha mugen battery, so thats not an issue, but what I am afraid of is popping my phones brains out...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
Look at Snapdragon S2 section
MSM8255
Also, it sayd for phones that use the above chip.. GSM only for Xperia PLAY... if that is the case does that mean R800x users are on a differerent chip? And if so what chip is it? Thanks in advance.

We're on the MSM8655 instead of the 8225. iirc, the difference is that it's cdma oriented as opposed to gsm
Each chip is different in what it can handle, so your best bet is to test it out, slowly. When your system starts to act funky, step down the voltage/speed levels.

Ps. Tried running mine @ 2 ghz once and was promptly rewarded with a random reboot. It takes some time, but with mine I've figured out our can run 1.6 with no issues (I tend to keep it at to stock levels because my battery sucks )

K, thank you Pax for the feedback.

Just thought I would open this to everyone on R800x, interested if people could point there OC status below.
Mine is still on 1.2ghz. with Performance and BFQ

Highest I can go is 1.6, but I keep it around stock or slightly underclocked, with SetCPU profiles that increase to 1.2 for games and internet apps. smartassv2 and sio for governor and scheduler.

I heard that underclocking can end up reducing battery life over time. Is there truth to this or is it just a myth?

1.6Ghz and Performance when the screen is on.
Stock when the screen is off.
Battery last all day, but I don't use heavily.

There's a large number of things that can adversely affect battery life, but by the time it becomes a problem, you'd most likely be on a new phone, anyway.

I tried my r800x at 1.6ghz (running Cyanogenmod 9 with stock kernal), and I was stuck in a boot loop that I had to fix through CWM Recovery. I am now running stable at 1.4ghz.

Yeah I'm on my 2nd xplay after I tried to oc to 1.6. My phone got extremely hot so I pulled the battery to let it cool. Upon booting my touch screen was non responsive. I don't ever go past 1.4 now.

(Q)I have a og evo and cant overclock it 1.2ghz.

I have a og evo I want to know why when I overclock to 1.2ghz it freezes my phone why does it do that ?
Sent from my Nocturnal 4G using xda premium
Each Evo is different. Some of them can't handle that high overclock, or can't be undervolted very low. Each one is different, each has its limits.
I don't understand the big deal with overclocking. It burns your battery faster. I personally underclock, with little to no lag and is good enough for my casual gaming needs
Mine doesn't like a clock much at all. I can get about 1.1 before it starts locking up but even then it hangs a lot. I honestly don't see a difference from 1.0 to 1.2. Get a decent rom, good kernel and try out the v6 script an I almost guarantee you will like that better.

Well for us to be able to help you, you would need to provide us with more details on how you are trying to accomplish this.
I use no frils cpu but have also tried setcpu and viperMOD I know that's the best way to overclock but is very confusing. Have any step by step instructions to of to 1.2 I know having higher voltages helps as well.

Overclocking is overrated. If you need to overclock for every day usage, then something is wrong - at least in my opinion. Resource intensive gaming is different, but you shouldn't need to overclock for browsing, texting, casual games, etc.
Try out the V6 Supercharger script. I'm not currently using it, but have in the past and it seemed to make my phone more snappy. A lot of people swear by it and it's a great script, definitely worth a shot. There are other things you can do to speed up your phone without overclocking. I'd try other options first since overclocking will chew through your battery. Increase the dalvik vm heap size, there are plenty of free apps on the market to help with this task. Uninstall apps you don't use, I'll bet that you never use some of the apps on your phone. Back them up with Titanium Backup and you can restore them if you ever need them again.
In case you didn't already know, the Evo can't overclock past 1.2, I'm not 100% sure why - it has something to do with the processor.

I never oc over 1075 and only when plugged in if i play a game I need to oc.for I just activate my charging profile and plug up and play 1.2 ghz is a good chance of doing serious.damage as these older scorpion processors get very very hot at that clock speed so they lock up to try and protect themselves from heat damage or they shut down the phone 1075 is as high as you should need to go for any games the evo can handle on the subpar gpu

I'm pretty sure viperMOD is more for undervolting than overclocking, which are not suppose to be combined together. I am running vipermod with max voltages - 50. Other nite was playing snes9x and was getting some lag with a game so I bumped max CPU up to 1.2. Phone went into a bootloop and had to superwipe and reflash everything. Don't know if its b/c vipermod + 1.2 CPU or just bumping up CPU. Didn't try it again.

Get a shift. Mine runs fine at 1.9. But usually run it art 254-1200 on demand.

You can overclock and undervolt together just fine. You just need to ensure that every frequency has a high enough voltage to run the processor at that step. My Evo is overclocked and undervolted just fine, although IIRC I can only push it up to 1.1 GHz . My tablet is 1ghz to 1.6ghz and is undervolted as well, though.
merge rls 2.0, iron monkey, Droid overclock because of the profiles options. I set up four profiles including one for temp. sometimes i'm underclocking and sometimes overclocking but only up to 1.19 to prevent freeze and boot loops. Only downside is right at open Droid overclock needs su permission but that is my choice since profile changes at open.
Very snappy afterwards.

When I had the 4G, I was never able to go above 1118, or somewhere around that. It would have freezing issues.
On my evo shift, I was able to do 1.7 gHz (compared to stock 800 mhz) ok. 1.6 pretty reliabily, and I could run 1.5 all day long. Some guys could do 1.9. It just depends on the phone.
Actually overclocking and undervolting is counter-productive. What you should do, is read carhaulers and ropodopes guide over at vaelepak. Its give some good useful info about how to set up a good aosp rom. I'm underclocked, undervolted, and still getting 1400+ benchmarks. Check it out bro. You'll love the results.

What? Overclocking and undervolting are two completely different things, and they aren't mutually exclusive. Unless you can provide a good reason as to why it's counter productive to do both, I don't buy that at all. Just checked my phone, my overclock requires an extra 25 mV for all three steps I've overclocked. 25mV isnt much, and it certainly isn't going to kill my battery that much faster.
Besides, the only time the CPU is going to be entering these high power modes is when it needs to do work, and it's better to do work as fast as possible to go back to sleep. Would you rather wake up, do a mundane task for 5 minutes, then go back to sleep or wake up, do a task at 2x the speed while only consuming 30-50% more energy, then going back to sleep after only 2.5 minutes?
HUGI is real.

First let me say I don't use viper mod or any voltage controlling mod.
On sense 3.0 roms such as mikg I over clock to 1152 and set the minimum to 384 and its smooth as butter. No problem and battery lasts all day.
On aosp however such as decks (I'm on it now) I underclock to 499 and leave the min at 254. Smooth as always and battery lasts forever.
Anything past 1152 is going to cause problems (at least in my experience) also the rom/kernel can effect how much you can overclock.

Its counter productive because it is giving less to something that needs more. (Don't take this post as me trying to be a ****. Just voicing how someone explained it to me a while ago)
Think of this as cars.
Lets say you have a nice fancy v8 mustang. Stock, everything is well, balanced.
If you start adding parts and get it pushing out 1000 horsepower (overclock) your most likely gonna need more feul (voltage) or at least stock amount flowing into the engine just to keep it running.
Now lets say you got that same 1000 horsepower gas destroying mustang and you start to lower the amount of gas flowing into the engine (undervolt (done in vipermod)) cylinders (CPU) wont get enough gas, it wont work, and your stuck going no where.
So if that made sense (did to me) then you can see why they are counter productive. Unless your using vipermod to overvolt (which idk if you can since I don't use it) then you can disregard this whole post

Your car analogy is completely irrelevant. You can look up the exact voltages that the CPU runs on at every frequency, *even when overclocking*. Overclocking an Evo 1ghz to 1.2ghz takes maybe a 5% bump in voltage, and that 5% extra power is only going to be used *when the CPU is running at max speed* (which is only when there is a lot of work to do), and even then, it's *still better to let the CPU run at max speed with a tiny bit more power consumption than to cap the CPU at a slower speed and make it work for even longer*. Intel calls it HUGI, Hurry Up and Get Idle.
I know what I'm talking about, and I wish people would stop trying to argue with me based off of second hand speculation. I do this for a living, after all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with overclocking and undervolting, and it's the best way to get the most battery life *and* performance out of your phone, period.

Hmm, *interesting*. I believe the best answer to the OP was covered rather well earlier. It's all about your rom/kernel/hardware combination. With all the variables to consider as relevant, your best bet is to experiment and find what works for your device. Don't check set on boot untill you are confident the set-up is stable. Higher is not always better with overclocking. My device runs blazingly well underclocked @768max. Gets insanely great battery @499max. However my quadrants are better @ 1036 than at 1190.
Great thing about android is you can experiment and learn through trial and error.

[Q] Safe OC rate ?

I like the Doomkernel but overclocking the GPU scares me somewhat (since you can't change the GPU clock rate)
If the GPU/CPU is broken I don't think I can afford a new one...
So like the title, what OC rate is safe to use ?
All phones behave differently so some phones will oc to 2 GHz with no side effects while some won't go past 1.4 GHz
So u should try it yourself
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Oc above 1.4GHz without undervolt is dangerous
If you can undervolt 1.6GHz to 1250mV, 1.6GHz are safe, too
So just use 1.4GHz if you can't get a new phone in case you brick it

Just like a Computer CPU...you should only overclock in small increments..then check for stability.
Personally, i would advice against overvolting the phone..
I keep my phone @ 1.2GHZ..I don't find the need to go beyond this. Then again, i dont play too many games on it
I have "DooMKernel v4" and "Extreme Voltage Control" in the Arc S but did not appear the options to change the voltages. Why?

the snapdragon 2 on the Arc had a lot of headroom
the chipset is rated @ 1.5ghz stable!
not the case with T3 its milking the very maximum of the 40nm process
in other words Nvidia is OCing its T3 out of box because their chips are designed to survive massive amount of heat (sadly it doesnt mean the battery or other components would survive)
it is already Overclocked lol
sometimes you have to listen to the "science" of it and surrender

What gets me is people posting "just leave it" "its fast enough". It's not your device and I'm sure they know its fast enough. Please those kinds of post really arnt needed.
As for the OC in faux's early (001bX) kernels overclocking was available although it was found there are 3 variants of the Tegra 3 SoC. And Asian variant, European and Australian variants. Each reacted differently to OC.
Taken from faux kerenel thread. Everything about OC'ing is from page 10~ to 45~ for anyone interested.

WHOA! You have ANOTHER variant for Tegra3 Wow... how many variants are there... I will try to give you an OC build for your variant...
So far there are 3 Tegra3 variants:
Variant 1: European -- So far not OC capable (boot loops)
Variant 2: Australian -- Status unknown.. just reported...
Variant 3: Asian (Non-Australian) -- OC capable @ 1.70 GHz (very stable)

If you're wondering id love to have the capability of overclocking doesn't mean ill be overclocked 24/7
EDIT: @Kris underclocking is available on every kernel something like setcpu or sys tuner will be all you need. Although if your looking to keep heat down there's a thread on XDA about an app called corecontrol (not the one on play store) that can limit the Tegra 3 to 2 cores. Another thing too look at for reducing heat is undervolting. Sys tuner is also capable of this. Currently I believe faux's kernel is the only kernel with true UV control

I use Faux's kernels and even though I have the Asian one that supposedly can be overclocked to 1,700, mine maxes out at 1,500 just like all of the other ones. Still the Faux kernel upped my quadrant speed from 4,700 to 5,000 and seems quicker so I still use it daily. I'm still waiting for the first kernel that can be overclocked .
Only the early kernels had OC it was removed to avoid bootloops in the euro and aus tegra3's the 003bx kernels don't have oc ability

Undervolting Damage?

Can undervolting, in any way, make ure phone heat up more or loose more battery?
/==(CyberScopes)==\
I undervolted 50mV and my phone is still okay
Wats the best undervolting level?
/==(CyberScopes)==\
I don't think it will damege the hardware, but the software may not boot due to the CPU not having enough energy to process all the bits of data there for having to restore a nandroid or ftf. But I don't know about a safe voltege as I am on a stock kernel and locked bootloader

Undervolting will never harm the phone, though it may prevent it from booting (if the undervolt is set on boot), or make the phone sporadically freeze/reboot. Some frequencies can undervolt more than others, and each phone's tolerance will vary as well. I've been able to go down -225mV on the 1024MHz frequency (or even -250mV on 1017MHz), though that's the farthest any of them has gone.
Yeah I've heard of overclocking causing damage, but never undervolting. It may cause some issues, but actual damage? I don't think so.
-Undervolting should GAIN BATTERY.
-Going too low might make your device freeze or not boot.
-Because of the way that you are actually taking away the energy this actually makes the phone slightly cooler.
- I myself don't like messing up with the voltages, there shouldn't be a very huge battery difference (Only about 1-6%) and I prefer stability.
-If you are still thinking of doing so then use a CPU stress app and test on every single step that you go down by for at least 20 minutes.

That's what you want it to do, and that is the usual result of moderate undervolting, but that is not always the result.
The phone checks itself (similar to parity checks). Excessive undervolt can make the phone cpu do the same thing over and over until it comes out right

It could have happened because your phone has gone to the highest possible frequency, I'm not sure about it though.
How do I change the voltage in android without having to edit the kernel?

I agree that the safest level of undervolting is -50 or even -75 but anything beyond -100 would make the device restart when it hits the min clock speed.

[Q] Nexus 7 (2013) Overclocking

So, I was wondering if it is possible at all to overclock the Nexus 7 (2013). When I go to the app to overclock it (Yes, already rooted and installed busy box) I am unable to change max CPU's frequency higher than the default 1.5ghz. I also can't change the GPU's frequency over 400. Was wondering if there's like a limit to it or something. I was hoping I could overclock to 2ghz. Please help, thanks

Not to be mean or anything. But you really should not be overclocking your device at all when you don't even know what is required to over clock in the first place'. Let alone 2ghz.

Everybody has to start somewhere.
The kernel linked above should work fine. I would recommend backing up in TWRP/CWM before installing in case something goes wrong.
Why would you need to overclock this device? It already runs amazingly smooth with no lag whatsoever. What is it that you need the overclock for?

Most Stable Simple Kernel Tweaks (GPU, CPU, I/O, GPU Governor, CPU Governor, Voltages
Hey guys, I got really bored tonight and decided to do a lot of kernel tests and this is what i found to be the most stable...
CPU- 1.944 GHz with Intellidemand
GPU- 504 MHz with Ondemand Governor
I/O- Deadline with Read Ahead Buffer Size at 4096
Voltages- 12500 DOWN on every frequency
I'm running my Nexus 7 (2013) on the 4.4 KitKat
Build Number- KRT16S
Rooted? Duh
Kernel? 3.4.0-ElementalX-2.2+ [email protected] #1 Tue Nov 26 16:05:50 EST 2013 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389022
Kernel Mod App? Trickster Mod Free Version
So let me get this right, you oc your CPU to 2ghz yet you use a battery saving (read low performance) CPU governor?

Intellidemand is (for me) the fastest and smoothest overall with decent battery life as well...
Goes to show not all devices are the same, with Faux kernel on stock 4.4.1, intellidemand makes the device laggy in games whereas interactive is smooth as for me

I haven't found one game that has made this tab lag yet. Maybe next year there will be a reason to over clock the n7 2013. It's a great device that just purrs.

Well Beach Buggy Blitz would lag at times when there was a lot on screen (like the cave full of coins would kill my fps), This was on stock Kitkat, with custom kernels works fine with no drop in fps.
On a funny side note, cm11 runs everything lag free without needing oc or custom kernels, so maybe it's the stock kernel that's crap

ppsspp lags whilst it has better performance on Mali-400 & 450 and PowerVR SGX, what's a safe gpu overclocking speed 450Mhz is the Samsung GT-I9505G Galaxy S4 Google Edition
Nexus 7 frame drops
I have a Nexus 7 2gen and i hace notice a frame drop playing Shadowgun Kik Kat 4.4.2. I was so frustraded that I was starting to dislike the nexus 7, but searching I found this threat and read a comment were said about installing a different kernel so I installed ElementalX 2.6, since then I haven't expirience any frame drop playing shadowgun I really enjoy it now, maybe is bad stock kernel. I hope this threat help others

The only game I've played that managed to drop my frames substantially that I would notice was Real Racing 3.
Now, I have CleanRom and ElementalX onboard but haven't played anything to test the performance. 2.1Ghz and GPU at 500Mhz.
I am currently using stock rom with elementax kernel, cpu @1,72ghz and gpu @450mhz. When i tried 2ghz oc, everything worked fine, but it got really hot while gaming. So i´m asking me how dangerous it is to use such high oc values in daily life. How much could it decrease the lifespan of the components?

We can only guess. Keep it at 2ghz, and let us know how long from now before your CPU is baked, then we'll all know for future reference.
Also there is an inductive charging coil on the inside for wireless charging some day when they come out with the chargers, sweet ****

Actually it is an underclocked snapdragon 600, but i didn't know that this cpu supports a clock speed until 1.9ghz (thought 1.7ghz would be standard clock). So i think up to 2ghz there shouldn't be any problems and it's okay for everyday use. I've also heard of some rumors that our nexus 7 2013 contains a "second choice" snapdragon 600 chipset, which didn't fullfill the predetermined requirements and that's why it was rebranded as an s4 pro... but this is really unimportant and just speculation.

omg you certainly shouldn't overclock it because the SOC architecture is designed to run at optimal clock speeds... by overclocking it, you might shorten the lifespan of your device and you might even damage it permanently as well
