This might not seem like a big deal for most, but I myself listen to music with my phone for at least a couple hours a day. After reading a post by pchemerys on how to save battery life (which everyone should read, a lot of good information there) I decided to play around with the voltages trying to get as much battery life as I could. As a result, I noticed a ton of random clicks and pops in my MP3's.
After further investigating, and going back to default values using Ktweaker (stock voltages), the problem was still there.
What fixed it? If your minimal cpu value is at 96Mhz, that is when the problem occurs. I adjusted that incrementally until the music was clean again, and my minimal cpu value is now 192Mhz.
Thats all you have to do. My min/max values are 192/1512
Hope this helps my fellow xda members!

yep, 96 was too low for me for a few things as well.
192 still doesn't fit it for me, but I was undervolting. It's a matter of voltage + cpu.
Yeah my phone is very fussy when it comes to any tweaking. I can't go below 384 and I can barely under volt with out any without the audio issues. Kinda sucks

Pretty much same here, seems like there's a wide variety in chip robustness on these. I can under volt everything about 50mV from stock, but my min can be no lower than 384, even with stock voltages. Any lower and I constantly get reboots and other issues with pretty much any governor

That's weird. I don't get reboots below 384 just the annoying sounds in music. Its frustrating to say the least

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
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
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.

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
Sent from my One V
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

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
am i supposed to change some of the settings?
which rom are you using and which kernel version did you flash?

no I don't have set CPU. I read that you don't need to adjust the settings and it will improve battery. is this true?
I can go under settings then perfromance then processor and adjust min max CPU freq
Not every kernel gives you better battery, some can even drain more power.
Other thing is that sometimes you can't notice much of the improvement in first few cycles. Give it few days and about 3 full cycles. Charge it to 100% and fully discharge.
If that doesn't work try refleshing or using other kernel
Good luck

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.
Hello
I'm currently using a note2core asylum kernel which supports both cpu and gpu overclocking. My question is, how do I go about overclocking the gpu? Any help will be appreciated.

I know. Its all for.research purposes anyway
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure if note2core supports stweak but that's the app you need to over clock. There are other but I prefer this one. It will give you a maximum slide to 1800mhz and also tons of other features such as adjusting charging amp, under volting including for the gpu as well. There's not much to know about over clocking as its pretty straight forward but you can change the xpu governor and the number of cores you want activated and how you want them to activate based on your usage. Under volting will help with both temperature and battery life although I find the changes almost insignificant, but you should try it out. If you want to undervolt start with around - 25mv.

You are talking about cpu not gpu
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Okay it's not that different. Just over clock it and undervolt at the same time to - 25mv and then download an app called stabilitytest from play store. Run it for 10minutes and see if you get any error. If not then further lower the voltage to - 50mv. But usually - 25 is good. I noticed that anything higher clocks peed than 5xxmhz starts causing error and graphic glitches.
