Hey,
I have an ICS ROM MIUI v4 and felt that there is no difference between 600 and 806 mhz while running apps. But 600 is much more friendly on the battery. Is it only me or anyone else having this happy problem?
Of course 600 is more friendly on the battery.......overclocking a phone always reduces the battery life of your phone and could lead to damages to your CPU..........so i would advise you to not overclock the phone..........and BTW overclocking doesnt increase the performance to a great extent
600 is "stock", so battery life will always seem better.
Performance-wise, your phone won't work better just by overclocking.
Say for example that you've got 10 apps running in the background, ram left is 2mb, your phone is going to be super-sluggish even at 806mhz.
It's all a question of balancing between background processes, running processes, etc ..

I've had my phone overclocked 15% for months now...I pre-ordered and picked it up on June 4th (the day they were released to the public) and it's never been replaced. I rooted it right away using the engineering hboot method, and I immediately went to a rooted stock rom with a kernel that'd allow overclocking the very first time I saw one posted on this forum. I've never been able to run it at anything higher than 1152 mhz, but I've also never had any stability issues at 1152 mhz. I also allow it to go as low as 128 mhz all the time.
Since then I've played with various roms, and various kernels, but the first thing I've done when changing any rom or kernel, is always set the min and max CPU speeds again, and decide which governor to use. I've also always played with the undervolting strategies, from static to HAVS, and I've always been able to get away with the most agressive stuff posted without any stability issues.
Your mileage may vary, but thats been my experience with an overclocked Evo. I will admit I can barely notice the performance difference from 998 mhz to 1152 mhz, but I actually notice a battery life improvement...get it done faster so the CPU can go back to idling at a low frequency as soon as possible mentality I guess.
please watch what you say here. its not going to get you any help to curse and swear at other members. last warning
@MikeOD, which governor and what governor parameters have you found to work best for you?
I think the whole overclock boils down to what you do with your phone. If nothing overly cpu intensive, then there's likely to be little gain in the amount of saved time.
I actually have mine under clocked at 921 Mhz (came that way in the rom initially). UI was fluid enough and everything still seemed to work well/responsive. I get slightly better battery life too. Noticeable in the rate the batt % declines during active tasks (web browsing).
Are there any bad things that can pop out if phone is OCed to 768MHz? Does it last shorter, can it screw battery etc..?
Thanks
It's unlikely you will 'pop out' something at 768 MHz. Some Wildfire's will not be stable at that speed, and, that is about the worst it can get, in which case, your Wildfire will lag a lot,and you will have to tone down the frequency a bit.
Battery life may take a hit, but, it wont be anything drastic again, also, as for component life, again, it may take a hit, but, even at 768, it will last till the time you are ready to retire it.
what is the recommended overclock speed, i can overclock to 729mhz and its stable no reboots etc or should i overclock to 691mhz??
Not really necessary, if your phone is not behaving abnormally at 729.
Is the difference with overclocking really that noticeable compared to stock speeds?
It's marginal. Definitely not as much as the overclock %age suggests. The only big difference will be in benchmarks.

i just overclocked to 729MHZ its awesome, the speed is noticable , and its stable i hope its fine and doesn't take more battery life lol
got mine at 710mhz and its stable no problems at all
keep the max overclock value at 729 MHz and the minimum on at least 264 MHz.
This saves battery when phone isn't in use and the speed increase is noticeable, it's rather nippy! (certainly for texting anyway)

Device: HTC Wildfire, 16GB Kingston micro SD
ROM: CM7
Recovery: CWM
Status: Overclocked @ 726 MHz - stable
What is the highest MHz that i can go up to without risking my phone too much? My ROM and Kernal lets me go up to 1920 but thats probably not the best idea.

you have reason.... NO GOOD IDEA lol
in a kernel thread (a lot of time ago...) i was read... that was not recomended overclock avobe of 1600 Mhz... And atention important!!! don´t underclock down 170Mhz more or less (because can be the devece cannot exit from standby mode when you unlock the screen....) i cannot remember what was be the thread but i really believe that there is not a concret limit for overclock....
sure that it´s not good any tipe of overclock for improve the performance...
but i have a hero overclocked at 714 mhz (factory stock at 525 mhz) since 2009 and NO PROBLEM never,,,,
and my DHD overclocked at 1200 mhz (with a quality kernel in mode smartass)
and underclocked at 245 mhz more or less and no problem....
judge by your self but use the common sense... cheeeers
At the moment i have it on smartass to 1459 max and 230 min and it seems fine. Do i just judge it on the CPU temp, and if it stays quite low (Around 30c) then im fine?

it depends buddy...
maybe its well.... the normal temp. of my batt. in use is 33-35º (but here in spain we are now at 30º !)
but my question is... are you really sure about its neccesary overclock our DHD?
I think that still DHD supports well all kinds of software with 1 GHZ of power...
maybe for a future thinks....or for gamming but always u can overclock for use a game and then return to 1ghz...
it´s only a suggestion... maybe another OP uses the processor of different mode...
The overclocking limit differs from device to device, so there is no general answer.
As a rule of thumb, when you start getting random revolts or crashes, you have gone too far.
If you want a more professional way, just slowly turn the clock of your CPU up and run a stress test after each time. It takes a bit more time but should get you pretty good results.
How long should i leave the stress test running for?
The reason i want to overclock it a little is that it just runs a bit more smoothly with it over clocked a bit. Just everything in general seems a bit better to use, its not really for gaming etc.
i dont want to under or overclock my defy...just want it as it is !!
What will happen if i install any custom rom ??
Will it O/C or U/C my defy ?? What r pros and cons of both ??
Not every custom rom, just some.
A developer usually write if the rom will under/overclock your device.
Despite this you can always choose to disable it.
CM7 will overclock and undervolt your CPU, so you should have more battery life and notice an increase in performance/general responsiveness. There's no risk in that, those values (300, 600, 1000 - I forgot at what voltages they are) are safe for daily use.
I know that MIUI e.g. bumps up your maximum clock speed to 1GHz (instead of 800MHz).
But I don't know why you don't like overclocking/undervolting, I use setvsel for some time (mainly to save battery because I have set pretty less vsel rates and when the screen is off it goes down to the lowest value) and normally you can't break your phone unless you set it to 2GHz and let it boot from start.
And when there are some settings included in a ROM you can be pretty sure that they won't be totally bad for your device.
what abt J boogie 3 liquid arc ??

Will jboogie3 liquidarc over or under clock ??
LiquidArc is based on CM7, so that is overclocked to 1GHz as well.
But if you really don't want that your ROM is overclocked you can still install it and then reduce the clockspeed to the standard 800 MHz yourself (Milestone overclock should be able to do that)
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?
