HI
I have a 2.3 GHz zenfone 2 however after playing around with some roms my devices seems to be stuck at 1.8 GHz even after I returned to the stock firmware which I have downloaded from the asus website. Does anyone know why this is happening or how could I remedie this.
Thanks for the help in advance
I doubt its stuck at 1.8ghz, its probably just not under heavy load so its at 1.8 and when you do more heavy things it'll go up to the regular 2.3. set the governor to performance mode and you'll see it goes to 2.3

Hello people
Today I bought my new defy and I'm testing the possibilities of the device.
After some misgivings, I've made a progressive overclock and hit the 3GHz mark.
Someone has already gone beyond that and know if the device remains stable? Here it is running at 3GHz for an hour and not warmed more than 1 º C and not spent too much power. And yes, he is set to keep the clock all the time.
Did someone made this as well?
Edit: I can't post the Screenshots 'cause I'm a new user. If someone are interested in it, I can send it by pm.
I went to 1ghz and no further... you must have money to burn (or phones to burn!)
The phone didn't overheat. Even after one hour at 3GHz, the temperature did not rise more than 1 º C.
I wonder if anyone else has ventured within the limits of overclocking.
Even at 3GHZ, there's nothing gain as no apps or games need that power to run at the moment. All apps and games would run smooth even at 1GHZ. Possibility at this 3GHZ is only a fried processor if the phone won't do the auto shut down.

It's still on and working without overheating, but I noticed the needless of this clock
I'll set the clock for 1.5ghz.
What rom do you recommend to me? I'm using Cyanogenmod rc 1.5.
3GHz is impossible, over 1.5GHz CPU can't work, you can set 10GHz, but will be exactly the same as 1.5GHz
May it be 3.0ghz only on the display but no in the system?
I'm new on this phone and don't know so much about it
3GHz? Hehe!
Yes, on screen it's shows 3GHz. But, like bvbfan said, I think it's only on screen and not the true frequence of the clock.
What program I can use to check this?
I'm using CyanogenMod Rc 1.5
Im running my Defy on 1 Ghz for ages now.
Never had a problem and i think going any further will not be healthy for your phone especially when you increase the vsel over 58
however you make it happen, it is fake. simply because of no heat. it is not really 3GHz, just a number you see on screen. run Quarant and see if it is really 3GHz
The current kernel won't let you overclock anywhere above 1.3 ghz. Its ARMv7 CPU limit I believe.

Hey bro. Could you tell me where to get the link to overclock defy? Also please elaborate the steps, if you can.
thanks

Just download SetVsel from Play Store, then search in Google for Defy overclocking.
Overclocked Since 1 Year
I am using Aero Control with the following settings:
GPU freq : 266MHz
VSEL Levels:
400/34
800/44
1100/56
1300/66
Governer: Interavtive
Current ROM: CM11 by Quarx 2
Kernel: 29/7 kernel by Blechdose
It is stable. No heating issues whatsoever :angel:

I read this article and noticed they mentioned the G2X which is for T-Mobile. Is this kernel for our SGSII?
Sent from my SGH-T989
that looks like the "classic" SGS2 clocked @1.2 Ghz stock
I'm guessing this will not help us in any way. Thanks for the quick response I'm at work and dont have enough down time to do my research.

The phone in question is the one with the Exynos (spelling?) processor which supposedly runs faster and better than our Qualcomm one.
But by no means is our Qualcomm processor a slouch.
well according to that blog, they went from 1.2 Ghz stock to 1.6 Ghz... that's gonne be melting real soon
while our phones stock is 1.5 Ghz and even running at 1.8 Ghz continuously is still within safe temperature above normal
one night i fell asleep while playing a GPU CPU intensive game, and when i woke up the phone was WARM but not BURNING HOT
according to temp sensors it was at 48c
unless it goes beyond 50c i wouldn't be worried
my i7 extreme edition has been running on 60c 24/7 for the past 3 (almost 4) years just fine
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?

I tried over clocking to 1.92 Ghz, and my phone rebooted on me and went back to 1.2 ghz. I over clocked to 1.8 ghz and my phone mad a slight buzzing noise and rebooted and went back to 1.2 ghz. I'm not on 1.6 ghz and so far everything is working correctly. How can I tell if my CPU is damaged/ fried and what is a safe frequency would you say? I'm on Franco kernel.
1.9 is probably too high... I wouldn't go over 1.5ghz if you want your phone to last. Besides, everything is smooth at stock speeds.
The CPU doesn't really get damaged but instead had it's life shortened when you oc'ed it that high.
I've downloaded the KOSP ROM 2.7(unofficial version) switching from Evolution X's latest version just for the sake of seeing it's Performance since I've heard it's very optimized for gaming Smartphones, so far ever since I've downloaded that ROM, my Performance and Prime cores have been showing a really strange behavior.
They never go above 1478 MHZ for the performance and 1862 MHZ for the prime core when 865 has the potential to ramp up to 2.4 and 2.8 MHZ, and the strange thing is that it doesn't respond to dynamic Frequency Change if I want to change it in FKM.
Then, sometimes they would strangely ramp up to 2246MHZ and 2457 for the prime core, just to go back down to 1478MHZ and 1862 and unlike before, switching no governor does change that, almost as if there's some sort of magnet attracting it.
I've already tried switching multiple ROMs and Kernels even the ones that would grant be full frequency throttle that I've already installed before, but so far no matter the ROM and Kernel, result is the same.
Please guys, help, I'm seeing extremely bad browsing and gaming performance like this!
Edit: yes, it's running in performance mode and Governor.
Edit 2: as I'm talking to you, the performance cores randomly switched to 1.7 GHZ and not only I can't set them to 2.4, I can't even set them below 1.7, it's like my phone deciding for it's own, WTF going on!
