How to Underclock GPU? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I play this game called Blood Brothers a lot, and it drains more battery than the screen.
underclock/volt the CPU helps, and I want to extend the battery some more with GPU underclocking.
Any one knows how?

You can only underclock your GPU only if your kernel allows it I recommend "Kernel Tuner" its free on the play store. Just so you know underclocking the GPU might cause the game to not be as fluid

Overclocking and battery life?

I was wondering what everyone uses or their min/max speeds? Ive been using the mild overclock settings with the 245/1024 setting currently, but will increasing it to say 1200mhz really hurt my battery life a lot? Will the 1200mhz speed only kick in when theres a game or something else resource intensive?
depends on your settings, try using an app like set cpu or anything that allows you to use profiles, this way you can help control battery life while still overclocking how youd like. well somewhat better control

The battery life is also rely on what governor that control the cpu.

HTC One V Overclock

I am planning on installing a custom Rom and kernel on my HTC One V. The cm10 Rom, with Titanium KISS overclocking kernel to 1.5Ghz. My question is; has anyone noticed much of a performance increase from overclocking? Did your benchmark results improve much etc?
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app
The performance improves like hell, but I don't keep it over clocked all the time to 1.5. Generally, for me even 1.2 or 1.4 brings changes in overall performance. If your phone freezes on 1.5, then your pocesser isn't capable of handling it. So always over clock with care

See overclocking it just provides.better performance for.the app.u are using at that time, u may miss understand but it does.not.give u more ram, 1.5 ghz will eat ur battery like.****
I.recommended 1.2......I use it with np

I get 17-18 hours per charge at 1.5ghz with moderate to heavy usage. Web surfing, gaming, texting, reading books with screen on time of 5-7 hours. I have the cdma version with Virgin Mobile running the latest version of AOKP 4.1.2 and the jellyboot5 kernel. I can watch a full length movie using MX Player and only lose 18-20% battery.
Switch on ur net ...it's apps like whats app......if u use net the whole day...see it wont last 8 hours

I am running my One V at a 1.9Ghz overclock, and I see VERY little difference in battery life vs no overclock.
As long as you are using a sensible cpu scheduler (i use lionheart), and not using apps that burn through as much cpu cycles as possible, your battery life should not be affected much. The Screen and Wifi use far more battery

If you'll read my post, you'll see that includes web surfing, some on 3g, some on wifi. Kinda hard to do with the net shut off. And for the record, I dont use Whastup, Facebook, Twitter or any other social networking apps. I also use Autostarts to control the autorun permissions of my apps and the back button to kill them when I'm done. Nothing runs on my phone unless I want it to. Control your phone, don't let it control you.

welll ur the first person i know who is happy with ur battery life! i can max 18 hours with heavy gaming,net,music!
Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
Works good.

I ran at 1.7 for a while with no problems, scaled it back to 1.5, didn't notice a big difference on the battery life before or after modding my speed. It's mostly the apps your using or network I find that drain your battery, not your cpu speed.
Overclocking Apps?
What apps do u guys use for overclocking to 1.2 ghz or more so my HTC can be faster? I just rooted it

I use setcpu its my favorite works perfect and lots of features, u need a custom kernel if you want to overclock

Set CPU allows you to make profiles which is very very useful.
Single core 1G is under recommended requirement by android system nowadays. By overclocking it to 1.4~1.5G won't drain you extra battery because though you have been used more battery at higher clock rate but the time to spend on the process is shorter(spend less time to get it done) and hence, ended up the total consumption is more or less the same. However, this works only with single core system. On Dual/Quadcore S4 cpu, yep it will make your battery drop like hell when you do overclocking because you are overkill, wasting battery.
Modern Qualcomm S2 processor is very mature, it's safe to say every cpu is stable to run at least 1.4G. You will notice huge system speed improvement overall but I want to add that, use smartassv2 instead of on-demand governor after overclocking will make your battery better. I've personally overclocked to 1.5G(mySENSE-v RC3.5 + Titanium-KISS) and notice the battery gone quicker, switched to smartassv2 solved the problem.
SetCPU is good for single cpu only(our One V), it's not supported that well for dual/quad but it's profile is still the most user friendly in the world, good for noobs, you can set it screen-off(make the cpu slower).,etcs. However, almost all other folks are using Kernel Tuner now with dual/quadcore and it's also good for One V but requires a bit more technical knowledge.
Is this the right amount of overclocking

You will need flash kiss kernel to do overclocking....
min: 245
max: 1401
governor: smartassv2
io: deadline

What you think about this, should this overclocking be fine?

that's a perfect combo of governor+scheduler, keep it that way.

which rom? if your on RC9.5, its fine
but if your on RC3.5, u might wanna OC it to 1.2ghz max coz battery drains faster on sense full roms

[Q] What's the best kernel ?

hi all gio users which kernel is the best for gaming performance?
Phiexz Kernel is best for Gamers + it has better performance and stability.
I don't know, maybe you don't need to change kernel..
Just set CPU governor to performance when playing a game..

the performance guvernator is the worst, it keep the freq at maxim all the time that meams battery drains and sometimes instability, the best guvernators for gaming are smartassV2,ondemand,ondemandX,smoothass

But it better than jump from lowest freq to the highest suddenly, and so on.
I think it will drains battery more

here is a little good trick for you
-During the charging of the device,you can set its performance governer and play any games you want,it will gives you better gaming + battery charging
-Or when not charging,you can set its smartassv2 governer and OC him to 883MHZ and play any games you want,this should gives you less lagging in gaming and reduced your battery draining problem.
Actually, good kernel is not only fast, but smooth and stable too, i think some kernel fro phiexz is great, you can try each other.

[Q] Change GPU speed?

I was wondering if someone has change the GPU speed from 320MHz to 400MHz using TricksterMod on play store?
how are the effects on performance/battery life?
You can change it, but it's controlled independently form my experience.. I go into TM and it will be 200mhz sometimes and other times it will be 400mhz.. Unless of course, you put it on performance governor.
We need a kernal to overclock the GPU and CPU lol ...that's what we need to get that CPU freq higher

Underclocking while gaming

Some app is underclocking my cpu speed while in the middle of a game and it causes lag! Please help me to disable it!

Your CPU is overheating and it lowers the freq to make sure that your phone won't become a toast.

same problem
i under volt and underclock just enough so i still have performance but not too lagy
just to stop heat

U may actually consider undrclock yourself when gaming
because most games depends more on your GPU than CPU (like real racing 3)
underclocking will slower the cpu a bit, but u wont overheat that fast
so u can do gaming smoothly for longer time actually
if u have unlocked the bootloader and got a kernel that support GPU overclock, consider overclock the GPU but maybe underclock cpu
