Well...phone's been working great. Got Nero 5 and the DoW 1.4ghz kernal on it and I love it. The past 3-4 days days, it's been freezing periodically...but maybe only 2-3 times a day, if that.
Today, when I woke up, it froze on me. I pulled the battery and turned it back on and it just hangs at the DoW screen...
...wtf...
It won't go to recovery, it won't boot, it just sits at the DoW screen...that's it.
Anyone else had this happen before?
Lol maybe you fried some hardware. Overclocking to unstable speeds is such a good idea! The freezing should have been your first indication that it was time to go back to a stock kernel.

umm can you get into download mode?
and yeah OC'ing IS dangerous specially 1.4... if your going to OC do it at 1.2 its fast and stable.
if you can get into downoadmode, then you can fix it. but if not, you probably did fry your hardware.
just flash differenbt kernel
go in to recovery and wipe cache partitiion it will vipe any overclocking you have done and will reset it to default
It actually did come back on...took about an hr though. If it does any more weirdness, back to a 1.2 kernel I go...
you should downloadS ETCPU and lower frequency of the cpu to 1ghz or w.e is stable if it freeze again go wipe cache partiton or factory reset ether one will help .

I have SetCPU and, honestly, I think the problem wasn't that I was running it too high. I used to run it at 800 mhz to try to save battery since DoW DESTROYS the battery at 1.4ghz (DoB maybe?...lol) and I'm not doing that any more. I'm running it 1ghz - 1.4ghz now. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks all!!
lol it will freeze again , take my word for it
YOU ARE BETTER OFF DOWNLOADING DRAGON KERENEL 3.2.1 AND IT ACTUALLY WILL SAVE YOUR BATTERY ONE THING DIFFERENT IS DOW KERNEL OVVERCLOCKS YOUR GPU ALSO , helped ?
Hey zuse, just use the stock kernel. I'm glad to hear it is working again, but just play it safe from now on.

Alright guys. Thanks to everyone who posts how-to's, tutorials, helpful posts, ROMs, themes, and everything else throughout this whole site. I flashed my phone fine with .void already but got bored of it so I flashed mik's CM7 port. I OC'ed to min. 600 and max 787. I got a yellow EMERGENCY MODE screen, so I battery pulled and clocked down to 768. It rebooted and froze while flashing everything the phone could, so I clocked down to 748. Now, everything runs great. However, many times when I'm watching Youtube vids, the phone screen freezes and the hardware buttons flash. Anyone care to explain what it is?
PS. JIT is enabled, if that has something to do with it.

thats a kernel panic. press vol down to reboot
kernel panic is sort of like BSoD if you are familiar with Windows - its a total crash
that usually means your OC is too high or there is a serious fault in the YouTube app.
since your OC is more likely, try these settings.
245MHz - 748MHz Interactive/Ondemand
768+ MHz is unstable for the CM7 ROM. unstable means that it is likely to cause a kernel panic.

Go here and follow the directions to a tee..all the links you will need are in the first post..it may be overkill but if your phone truly is borked this will get it working but back to stock and you will have to reinstall your rom again.
my phone freezes when I overclock too much and I just pull the batt instead of three finger booting but I have never had a problem with it not booting after a freeze..that's how I find out how much overclock I can handle!
I keep clocking higher and higher and running
Quadrant, using the camera and a few other things to really load the cpu and I do this until it freezes
Then I turn it down one setting and retry to load the cpu to get it to freeze until it stops.
Anyways the link below may be overkill but it will get your phone back and, if you try to over clock again and it freezes you should be able to just pull the batt and re insert..good luck! I hope you get your phone back.

I'm running prebeta 4 - and just wondering if anyone is having there phone heat up on them? It only takes about 5-10 minutes of use and it gets pretty warm? I have gone into the performance settings and lowered the cpu speed to 913mhz? That seemed to help a tad, but it could just be in my head.
Another thing i noticed is that copy and paste doesn't work. Is anyone else able to solve that issue?
Thanks!

It does heat up a bit. You may want to try undervolting your phone. I've noticed that it doesn't get as warm. If you do a search there are a few threads on the topic. No C+P problems for me.
I installed CM7 yesterday too. Haven't had any issues with heating up yet. Idle is around 32C. Performance wise , this is the best ! as enomai said, you can under volt your phone by going to settings>cm settings>performance>"watch out for the dragons ahead! >CPU settings>change the min and max cpu frequency to your desire MHz.
You might need to reflash and wipe everything. Or find out what rogue app you got going.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
had a force close and notice that caused it to overheat, checked set cpu and noticed it sitting at 1300 constantly and not scaling or dropping at all.. had to reboot for it to cool down.

AAhhh ok. Well in that case I would say if it's not a piece of software * like for example do you have TWO overclock softwares installed, like setcpu AND another?*, then it's probably a kernel problem. I would uninstall whatever software you have to overclock, reboot into fastboot, do a
fastboot erase boot
fastboot reboot
, and then reboot into recovery and try flashing the kernel again. wipe cache, see if this works.
Do I need to get Setcpu to undervolt my phone? I'm a bit nervous that the heat will damage my phone. I really love cm7, but I need it to not overheat. This never happened when I ran stock? What do you guys think?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I havnt been running into any overheating issues at all, actually been running cooler on CM7. Im running Faux's 1.3 OC kernal instead of the kernal that came with it though. Try reflashing the kernal or flashing another one of Faux's kernals for CM7. I would definitely install Setcpu so u can moiter the battery and processer temps. Set up a few profiles and try undervolting some.
I installed cyanogenmod 7 on my Legend a few weeks back. It was running ok, today I thought about overclocking it. I had overcloced it before to 745 (or something) and it had worked fine so I thought about overclocking it to 850 (or something). As soon as I did that, it hanged for a while and then restarted.
Now everytime I start it, it restarts before I can do anything. All i managed was to enter the performance settings menu, but I cannot reach far enough to reset the CPU settings (it restarts)
Is there any other way I can reset the values, some file or something. I really don't want to reinstall everything.
What program are you using to over clock. Funnily this happened to me when I attempted to Oc (using setcpu) my legend to 864. However I installed the setcpu widget and I was able to change the speed asap. Maybe if you pressed fast enough then you might be able to restart before it restarts. But if all Is lost then factory reset is the way to go.

I was using the cyanogenmod 7 performance settings (settings>cyanogenmod>performance>cpu settings).
But I managed to reset it. I took out the memory card in hope that it will give me more time to reach the settings, and when I opened the CPU settings it was set to 600 MHz. looks like the settings were stored in memory card.
Hm
For future reference, don't check "restore on boot" until you know it's stable
Hi
In my case, overclocking is possible up to 844mhz, but I have reboot after few minutes. Max stable value is 806mhz (for me).
Maximal frequency depends of phone, every Legend are different. For one max is 768, for other maybe it 864.
Greetings
Sorry for my language
gosh... reading this post brings memory the last time i was messing with the performance thingy.... have to wipe my legend to get rid of the OC setting was my fastest option... but lost my unbackup data.
well you can try flashing your rom without wipe and hope things got back to normal.
on oc testing
my advice is this.... do your nandroid backup before doing OC testing...
if you have setcpu for OC testing... dont use the main bar to test oc...
but you can have setCPU to OC if certain condition like charging the phone is meet.
then if your system gone nuts just unplug the usb (not charging) and it will go back to main setting.
if you are using cyanogenmod performance setting.... do as TGF say.. do not set on reboot before you are sure that the system is stable...
plus you better nandroid backup first before messing with your phone...
My phone runs stable at 787............and I'm quite satisfied about the performance. But only because I have the power to, I'm thinkin about trying higher frequensies. Should I? Or it is an unnecessary risk?
Also, is there any preffered way to "try out" the performance once you set a new Max MHz?
I just installed CM9 beta1 and I'm having troubles with the overclocking. I tried the 768MHz but it freezes after a few seconds. Is there a way to overclock to a specific speed? I saw a while ago some guy saying that at aroung 728MHz it does a great job. I have kernel 2.6.35.13-htc-msm7x27-ics.
I got a bug, don't know if it's related to the ROM or the overclocking but when I set the minimum speed to 19MHZ, like on stock Legend, when I tried to wake my phone, it seemed to be stocked at 19MHz, so I couldn't do anything, had to take battery out. Happened to anyone else? It happened to me once since yesterday.
overclocking
I'm sure most of you probably know this but just in case..... If you get a program that allows you to see your logcat (google them) and clean the log of errors by removing problem apps or limiting their permissions. The result is you end up with a much more stable OS and you can then overclock a lot more heavy handed. With the changes, I very rarely have any problems and run at 864mhz. Hope it helps

What governor are you using? If your using power save or conservative that will defenitly cause it.

I could never overclock my Legend. Always near-instant reboots . Consider yourself lucky if you can!
I have recently just hopped back onto ICS AGAIN. I have used ICS ever since its been out for my region and every single try i will revert due to the same issue. Either battery life or random freezes.
This time i am really lost hope. I was hoping samsung could release something that worked for me but it never came. I have to seek help from all the pros
The situation:
I have flashed afew ICS ROMs and kernel combo. I tried
DXLP9 w/ stock, siyah, NEAK
DXLPB w/ stock, siyah, NEAK
Sensation ROM 3.5 with siyah.
They all had the same issue whether i UV them or not. I tried factory resets, clear cache, kernel cleaning scripts, even SD format.
They all will have random freezes on load. Its random so sometimes i cant recreate the situation. Most common ones are updating or downloading from market, when its near or starts to install. But i can watch videos and everything fine. GMaps sometimes freezes it too.
As for governer i use smartassv2 for siyah and lulzactive for NEAK and SIO as scheduler. Did try ondemand on stock and sometimes noop and NEAK. Same responses.
I ran sensation rom fine ytd with 1 widget and downloaded whatsapp and extweaks and UV and everything was stable. Watched pps the whole night. Totally fine and this morning i wanted to load my normal apps from market and it started to freeze on me.
Im really lost someone pls help me. If not i really have to go back to GB again.

but i even tried no UV and with stock. ytd i tried no UV again. seems to be performing well but i cannot let my phone run without UV cos it will drain battery very fast
Btw im using the same 5 cpu states but i turned off the 1.2GHz state. So its 200 to 1000. What do you mean more bus freq? Up cpu speed?

dunno about siyah, i use fluxi, u can ov bus. I think in siyah too.
The thing is simple, not every phone reacts equal. My phone for example doesn't handle strongs uv. I have to slightly uv it. Same as bus.
I even saw some phones that couldn't handle aokp without over volting. Ir getting higher bus.
In the other hand, uv is overrated. It doesnt saves as battery as everyone thinks. The screen is battety's worst enemy
