So it is reasonably safe to OC at 1.2? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, so as you know OC may have a detrimental effect on Xplay Hardware, I was wondering if OC at 1.0-1.2, maybe 1.3, will ultimately deteriorate the Xplay. I was waiting for intro of a PS1 game to pass 1.2ghz then fell asleep, and it stayed on until the battery shut down at 4%..probably was on a few hours I don't know

Lol, yea u can oc to 1.2 GHz in fact that's my normal OC settings for all games,

I think its safe until 1.4

Depends on chipset, mine can go to 2 GHz but reboots after 20-40 mins and at 1.9 it stays for about 1 hours
And my safest oc is 1.8, buy I'm in lupus so 1.6 for now,

Agreed. Xperia Play can reach 1.4GHz easily without any serious issue. It can go further but being very carefully with CPU settings and dealing with the shorter battery life and the device getting hotter.

I run 1.6ghz all day and it's smooth 24/7. My battery hasn't really taken a hit at all.

My default clock is 1.6Ghz the majority of the time.
The chipset itself can handle 1.4Ghz according to the manufacturers guidelines and this clock has been set in another phone. (I don't remember which)
On the Xperia Play, you're not really effecting the hardware at all until 1.3Ghz as it is not until 1.3Ghz that the voltage requirement changes for the CPU.

Yea that's why I run 1.2 GHz on my stock battery to save it and not drain it! (I use 3600mah mostly)

Undervolting Epic

Hello, I'm a noob with a quick question about undervolting. I am running SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0 EB13/EXT4 with the Twilight Zone kernel. I have the SetCPU.apk installed and I have some profiles and sliders set. I would like to undervolt to save some battery. Is this thing already undervolted? If so, is it only undervolted at 1.2GHz? Is there even a way for me to change anything relating to undervolting?
Thanks for any help.

Undervolting is something that needs to be coded into the kernel by the dev. The best way to save battery would b to use setcpu to a max of 1ghz. An overclocked/undervolted kernel will run at 1.2 ghz while using the same amount of juice that a norma kernel would use at 1ghz

and if they've done it right, which they have, 1Ghz will be using less battery than stock at 1Ghz. in theory the lower you set it the less battery you should use, but you dont directly change the undervolting settings, just the clock speed.
Much obliged.
I think that kernel only has undervolting enabled on 1ghz. So if you're on 1.2ghz it will only be overclocked without the undervolt...I think

I believe its undervolted at 1.2. Reason I say this is because I flashed the genecide kernal and set it at 1.2 ghz which I know is not undervolted on genecide only 1ghz is I believe and I got crappy battery. On the twilight kernal I'm set at 1.2 and getting great battery. That's just my observation so far.

I'm sorry, but you can't say that a great battery is caused simply by an undervolt at 1.2Ghz. The Twilight kernel, from my knowledge, is not undervolted at 1.2Ghz, only at 1.0Ghz. The great battery life you're getting out of the Twilight kernel is because of how it was coded and optimized. My 2 cents.
Twilight kernel is not undervolted on 1.2 ghz. Only 1.0. Read the thread

For me the 1.9 ghz kernel is a bit unstable for every day use . But oc at 1.5cm kernel works much better and 100% sable and battery friendly if you use profile in setcpu.

I have to say. If you gotta ask dont do it! Make sure you setup good profiles for heat or you run a serious risk of frying your phone! Good luck some people got lucky and have no problems running 1.9. My phone has no problem with that speed until for some reason i have yet to discover somthing makes it heat up at random times. After that happened a few times i decided 1.5 is plenty.

I thinks it's underclocked @ 1.9Mhz
Root the phone
Install ROM Manager from the Android Market
In ROM Manager, flash Clockworkmod Recovery
Also in ROM Manager, backup ROM ("nandroid" backup)
Download the kernel and put it on the SD card.
Flash kernel from Recovery
Get SetCPU or CPU Tuner to set the CPU clock
As already mentioned, if you want to OC that high, SetCPU profiles with temp failsafes, etc. are a must. You might want to start with lower CPU clock speeds.
If you need more guides on how to get this done:

Yeah, it does. Unfortunately for me, it's stable for less than five blazingly-fast minutes Guess I'll stay at 1.5!
I think for a phone that was clocked at 800, 1.9 is far too risky. I have no factual basis to say that, just seems like common sense.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
^I agree^ That doesn't seem logical....
I can't see OC our phones to 1.9 being good on any level. Seems like were trying to push the hardware a bit too far.
Is that how people are able to get Quadrant scores in the 2000+? I can't seem to get that high at all. I have been using pershoot's kernel with CM7...but now on nightly #91- using stock kernel now. I have been cautious on trying out this one...

Why would you want to clock it down to 1.9 MHz when the stock speed is 800 MHz? Even an XT-8086 ran at 5-10 MHz. An 8080 (the year was 1974) ran at 2.0 MHz.....

Lol, i think he meant GHz, typo =P..
As for quadrant, my DZ easily hits an average of 2100+ when OCed to 1.3GHz using Virtuous G-Lite 1.0.2. I really don't trust those benchmarks though, as long as the battery lasts and the UI is smooth, I can't really complain.

Well...ok, I was just trying to make sure I wasn't missing a step. I am happy with my phone's performance, so I will not be concerned about that anymore.

Bravo! I can't believe nobody else caught that.
1.9Ghz will sometimes cause my phone to either overheat or crash. I have it set to 1.516Ghz on Pershoot's kernel.

Stock vs Overclocked

Is it worth rooting my phone and overclocking it?
Is overclocking it really noticable in performance to say approx 1.5GHz? And is it going to kill battery? Thanks

Yes and Yes to both of your questions. There is a noticeable diffrence in performance when overclocking. But it will obviously use more battery
cant say ive noticed 1.5ghz killing my battery.. might be used a bit faster.. but u can easily offset this by lowering your clockspeed and voltage for your sleep state in addition to minimising the required voltage that 1.5ghz requires, id say my battery life is probably better overall, and i run 1.5ghz 24/7.
of course your mileage may vary depending on usage and various settings.
How hard is it to overclock it? My phone is rooted but I have no experience with overclocking.
I'm guessing it wouldn't be a wise idea?
Yeah this seems a little over my head.. thinking of buying another Xperia Play just to mod the crap out of.
Dont really wanna mess with the overlocking now I think about it incase I fry the chips and kill the phone.
At 1.4 and 1.5ghz its quite safe.
To chill out the battery put some screen off underclocking like at Real low with but not the least

i'm quite interested in overclocking.. been thinking about it for the last months..
but i don't know, 1GHz is quite enough for me.. im not experiencing any slow down..
Well with 1.5Ghz then, you'll be amazed!

Processor

The one v has a 1 ghz single core processor so my question is is it possible that the processor from our one V behave like a dual core processor ? Ist it possible
Sry for my bad english xd
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium
I'll assume when you mean behave like a dual core you mean the processing power of a dual core.
Most likely not however users are reporting (assuming you flashed a kernel that allows overclocking) that you can do 1.5Ghz stable (which I am currently doing), however Titanium allows up to 2.0Ghz.
Not dual core, but it's as good as can be.

Then just try higher frequency above 1.5 and below 2.0
So you can find your best frequency clock..:good:
Because it's depends on what kind of activities that peoples doing in their phone.
I'm running at 1.7ghz on my primoc with no issues so far

My phone withstands the 2ghz constantly, but I don't think it's necessary. Every phone has different CPU, and so withstands different freq.

My phone runs fine till 1.7 ghz.
It depends from phone to phone. However even after overclock you will not find a lot of difference in performance.
I've tried it but it frezzes only up to 1,5 ghz is able to work for my phone
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium
Then use 1.5 ghz.
imo anything above 806 mhz feels the same if not playing games. When you play games then 1.4ghz is good enough.
Lil bit an off topic question here. What is the best governor for playing games. I'm currently OC'd at 1.2GHz?

[Q] Overclocking!?

Hey guys,
I actually rooted my One v and also began using a custom Rom - KangBang v3 with hellboy kernel. I found the overclocking and voltag-controll in the menu. What is the maximum you wold overclock and at wich voltage?

I personally don't use and prefer OCing above 1.5ghz.at 1.9ghz,phone reboots every time an app is opened,freezes sometimes...
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
i never overcloked my Phone for me he is fast i think there is also a risk when you overclock
1.5 is pretty stable, any higher than that is a gamble. I got pretty good scores in antutu at 1.5, but not high enough to warrant constant over clock. Heck I usually run with 768 MHz on the high side for tiny bit better battery life and don't notice any slowdowns.
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
I go 245 low and 1200 high and 1708 low and max for games, that's the max without reboot

Ok, i overclocked it up to 1.5 GHz maximum. At this frequenzy gta III runs smooth xD.
But for daily use, this drains the battery too fast -.-

Hey guys,

just wanted to ask if it has any such option of setting the processor setting
I haven't found any such settings during my usage.
So if it doesn't have such settings then what is the default setting set to?
I overclocked to 1,5 Ghz and use it daily with SmartassV2 governor. Battery lasts enough to load it back up overnight.

Your insane for trying 1.9 xD.
Don't exceed 1.4.
Overclocking a 1ghz kernel to 1.9 is dangerous.
Sent from my HTC One V using Tapatalk 2
even at 2ghz,there is no damage done to ur phone.generally people feel that it will damage and fry their phone,but thats not true.it only may reboot and freeze just for some time.there is no serious damage as many feel.
Running at 1.2GHz max right now. I'm too paranoid to go any higher than that. It got rid of the minor lag issues I was having (occasionally seeing "loading" when going back to the Sense home screen from an app)
