(Q)Over-Clocking and Under-Volting

havent tried Ocing in my arc,im curious is it really a big difference
from 1ghz Ocing to 1.4 or higher?and the only way to O/C is to unlocked bootloader and use different kernel?is there a stable and safe frequency?tested in a daily usage..

Well, I'm currently running at 806Mhz, I was previously at 1.2Ghz and to be honest, I don't see any difference.

You may try to flash the DoomKernel on your device. It will give you rootaccess, the possibility to over and underclock. But first you need to unlock your bootloader.
I overclocked my Arc to 1,9ghz Max running for days without any problems. I dont recommend much higher or it will run stuck and you may damage your device.
Only overclock your device when you have a good feeling about it

so does that mean i can't over clock to let's say 1.4 GHz and let it be like that for daily use ? either with DoomLord ROM or CM7 ROM..

You can overclock, but ARE YOU REALLY need 1,8Ghz??? All day.
Stock you had 1Ghz and its already fast.
When you doing some grazy OC lets say 1.9ghz your device may be unstable after that.
Most people using 1,2 or 1,4ghz because its stable and not draining battery a lot.
I use 800-900mhz and very happy.
Whay we always talking overclocking, but not "downclocking"
Edit: doomlord kernel max is 2.0Ghz but dont forget about stock is 1ghz....so 2 times faster BUT not all devices are stable with this insane speed.
CM7 and FXP kernel max 1,6Ghz and its rock solid stable all day and night.

From what I've experienced,
If u set the OC in min 1GHz and max 1.8GHz like what I've done, you will notice that ur phone is going smoother.
Well, this is my opinion..

Minimum 1Ghz....wtf? its draining your battery with light speeds.
I think 245Mhz is good

Yes it drains battery
I mean just to test is there any difference between OC or not.

@tyrand3
how much Ghz have you been using?
you using it daily?is it really a big difference?

I overclocked mine to 1.4GHz and use it as daily setup, works smoother and faster.

arc vs arc s

This has to of been covered before... I tried a search but to no avail... What i want to know is can the arc be o/c to 1.4ghz like the arc s or better? and is it an easy process? Reason for my asking is i maybe in the possession of an arc form a friend who has defected to crapple.. I have looked at both specs on the cpu and the only difference i saw at the end of the scorpion processor is that the model number ends in a "T" so is it a different processor?
Or would it be in my best interests in getting a arc s? would both processors be able to be in creased beyond 1.4? safely?
Cheers guys.

if you follow the steps correctly, then its not a problem.
yes, you can OC the CPU speed of the both arc and arc S beyond 1.4Ghz. im with the regular arc with 2.0 Ghz OC cpu. using the DooMLorD kernel.

Ok awesome!! I had no idea you could double the regular arc's cpu thats fantastic im gonna have to pull my mate up take it from him then go back to him and show him what he's missing lol! But clocked at 2ghz and its safe for daily use?

Of course not!
Maybe for Arc S but for normal Arc 1.4-1.5GHz are safe daily.
Very high oc is just for showing off and benchmarks, not for daily use.

Thats cool, thanks for clearing that up for me, at least the normal arc can be beefed up nicely. the thought of having ICS with o/c and if wolfbreak does rom tweaks like with the x10 with the 2.3.3 would be very interested in using this combo..

Has anybody converted his Arc to Arc S ??

Has anybody converted his Arc to Arc S ??
Wotanserver says you can flash an Arc S firmware to and Arc phone, but I have not tested it yet. Has anybody had the guts to try ??
Also, and as long as I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong), the only difference between the Arc and Arc S is firmware (same chip, just overclocked)

Arc S has different processor.

I'm gonna dig deeper into that "T" difference

if im not mistaken the only difference are their clock speed.

Is that really a difference?

Just flash Arc firmware on Arc, oc to 1.4GHz and voila --> Arc @ Arc S

It just means that it's been "factory overclocked", tested extensively in higher frequencies.

hi
a lot's of people does not understand your question......
can The ARC-s bsband (Kernel , etc) flashed to an ARC to use (cheat) the ARC hardware for ARC S ?
i think this can be reality - BUt maybe nobody have flashed the arc S FW to and ARC to try it. ?!?!?

Arc with Arc S kernel will still boot @ 1GHz
Just use Doom's kernel and oc it, best and easiest way.
I know that the Arc S has the same CPU as Arc, just tested at higher frequencies, but why can almost every Arc S run stable @ 2GHz and just a few Arc?

Not really, but... ok!

they have different touchscreen and display drivers. the partitions of ROM are different. so you probably cannot flash ftf bundle for arc s on arc. get prerooted arc s stock rom zip and put it on arc. take oc kernel fron doom, patch up the baseband too if you want.

i think the "T" in the cpu name means that arc s cpu is an upgraded version of the arc cpu. they must have add something on the hardware, not just overclocked by software. that's why it's more stable at higher clock (2GHz).
besides the cpu, everything looks the same to me

se dev relations manager "kalle d" said on the ics alpha thread that arc and arc s have diff partition tables and diff display drivers.

Overheat

Sry for a maybe stupid question but my Arc S is always very hot, especially when it's charging. I downloaded the Phone Temperature app and it said that my temp is 54 °C and I'm very worried, I hope that my camera lent won't melt becouse it's starting to be very hot.
Hope someone can help me.

Hi! Same issue here...
Could be a solution to downclock the CPU to 1ghz? Someone tried that way?

Of course it would, but that isn't really a solution, it's a workaround with sacrifice of speed.
I highly doubt anything will melt inside the cell phone. They must've tested it and all, I'm sure they noticed it gets hot. Otherwise there's always warranty and stuff

I changed a few things and it work for now, u dont need to undervolt or anything..I downloaded Ram manager Free on google play and then set it on Balance..it a daily use option (u have other options too) so now the cpu is at 1400mhz only when my phone needs that much, and when I do other stuff is at 1000mhz sometimes even lower. It's not slower or anything, it just saves your cpu for when you need it.
Pls hit thanks if I helped!

54 ° is very a high temperature no? in my arc s the max temp is 42-43 ,when playing ,and its 33 ° while it's charging ,without using it off-course

It is due to heavy OC. If you dont want lower your OC value.. there are few steps to keep your phone
normal while charging!!
Dont play games or use heavy aaps while charging.
Switch off WIFI / 3G during charge.
If you just let your device sleep during charge.. it wont heat up!!

The only problem when it get's really hot is when your charging and playing games at the same time, the touchscreen is really very hot.

I had the same on CM9 nightlies. Stock ICS based ROMs don't heat my Anzu.

does jelly sandwhich rom overheat your arc s???

My arc s only get hot while gaming

I didnt really know how hot is my phone..Just do think of "too hot" after doing a BackUp and then flash a new ROM.

Mine usually gets hotter while using 3g!

I think the sega or rush kernels have this also. Wouldn't recommend it, to be honest. The difference between 1.6 and 2.0 is almost unnoticeable performance-wise but your battery life will suffer.

Thanks man

Overclocking to that frequency is close to deadly for our phones. Better just sell your phone, you get money, instead of just a brick.
