I used Antutu benchmark and i saw dell streak 5 clocked to 1.5 ghz >_>
user didn't mention it to be streak 7.
Even 1267 mhz result is there.
these are surely dell streak 5 models and not 7 because their points are 2922 and 2833 respectively and streak 7 has lowest of 4532
mine is overclocked @ 1.19 ghz and i chose "performance" yet my points were 2788..( now 2827 XD)
overclocking beyond this simply crashes..
please someone throw some light on this..
The highest clocks are device dependant. It's like OCing on pcs, not all cpus are capable of the same clockrates. 1.19ghz is the highest one that can be expected from most streaks.
If you really want to push higher you'll need to build your own kernel to get anything higher to work stably, possibly at the expense of shortening it's lifetime dramatically.

2800 is a great score, not bad at all. You can only really expect 1.19ghz, you might be lucky and get your phone running at 1.226 or 1.267ghz but only a few devices will be able to run at that speed.
A kernel that supports that speed is in Streakdroid 1.9.1, higher speeds could be possible, but it would require the cpu voltage to be increased, which might shorten cpu life, but also will definately shorten battery life. As Manii said, you would have to compile your own kernel including the speeds and voltages to make this work, as nobody has an app for our Streaks that allow us to adjust voltages.
Also you would be very lucky if 1.267ghz is rock solid stable whatever, you can test this using the Stability Test from android market, run it for a few hours, see if you can make it past 6 hours, then maybe your phone can definately run at 1.267ghz.
What tool are you using for overclocking?
One last point, i would take scores with a pinch of salt, it is possible to fake scores completely.
I have run the qaudrant benchmark....the fastest I can overc is 1226mhz on the 1.9.1 rom ......and my best score was 2515

Dead Streak
I try Overclock my dell streak to 1228, using antutu on Power Rom V2,,,
Now my Streak dead,,,
I try to turn on, but it helpless,,,
Any Suggestion?
Hopefully the cpu is ok.....its just trying booting up at the higher freq,and cant do it,i would try streak recovery....then factory reset,or if you nandroid before,then go into streakmod
Also....mine wasnt very stable at that speed.....acouple times it would freeze up after reboot,and I would have to go into cpu fast and uncheck "apply at boot" so I could reboot into stock freq. I like to set my lowest freq at 384mhz to stock or 1119 highest

Your numbers are fine. Dont be too conserned with benchmark scores even though it is fun to run them from a gear head point of view...
Although if you want a bit more accuracy, run any benchmark three times and average out your total score.
My scores are, so you have an idea:
Linpack= 9.2 averaged on three runs
SetCpu= Long Bench 636 averaged on three runs
Quadrant= 1863 on three runs
*(RyanZ's lagfix has been proven to cheat Quadrant thus giving users a much higher score. example: 2300,2400 etc.)*

Hi All,
I am writing this post to know what are the pros and cons for overclocking the phone. I know it helps to increase the clock rate, however if the phone can support it, why didnt the manufacturers made it that way.
And if we do it, are there any chances that the phone might blow up and stop working or something.
I tried to search on this topic but cudnt find anything.
please reply
Iam using LG Optimus One
Thanks !!
Hello.
The main plus is the increase in productivity phone.
The downside is that, theoretically possible to burn the phone, but I repeat it theoretically.
I myself have clocked the phone and nothing terrible has happened to him.
I don't think anything's going to burn as kermel always goes in panic if it can't handle it.

The processor won't burn, as 4silvertooth says the kernel will panic and you'll end up in an endless bootloop; 729 - 748 mhz is safe, 800mhz in most cases cause the kernel to panic.
Well oc has nothing to do with proceesor (don't laugh). Well at hardware level the clock (MHz) and processor are two different thing the crystal provides the MHz to processor and in return it computes at that speeds. So by oc we are telling crystal to oscillate at higher frequency. So if our processor can't handle higher frequency it tells kernel get lost I am not doing this for you as I am not able to execute instruction at such speeds. And all the governers are nothing but a rule for processors to execute tasks. Like if you select performance governer it tells CPU to execute at Max speed you have set. So what ever you set the min frequency it always uses Max speed no need to change min if u r using performance governer same for powersaving governer no matter what you have set for max it always work on min. So all the governers has different sets of rules.
Pros: CPU speeds up the execution
Cons: Crystal may get hot.
Bye.

No you wont go in bootloop.
Let me explain.
You will go in boot loop if you have set speed that processor can't handle and selected set on boot option. As the processor can't handle it and you are telling it to be always in that mode. Dont select set on boot. After reboot manually select oc. The second reason would be currepted filesystem as after kernel panic your phone has rebooted with unsaved changes chances are that filesystem table is currepted. Theres a command to check that I forgot name its like chkdsk for Linux. But no rom impliments that on unhandled reboots.

Well, sometime you can get 800MHz. But overclocking is strange device dependent. So, somebody have 768 very stable you, but somebody can have 800 and somebody have some problems also on 710 like me for example.
I believe the ARM1176 processor is designed to 800 MHz for my LG Optimus V.
Not sure that everyone else is running the same processor, but I think there are two speeds for the ARM v.6, all flavors, which is 800 MHz and 1GHz. The cell manufacturers lower the speed to conserve power and I'm certain buy the less expensive 800 MHz version.
So everyones CPU should be 800 MHz capable...that does not mean that the memory I/O can take a similar speed up - I don't know exactly what is being sped up with the CPU overclock, but the CPU itself shouldn't have any issues. If it is the system clock, then the I/O is already being timed appropriately and a speed up is overclock for it, but 800 MHz is not an overclock for the CPU.
Good news people let's wait and see...

On Spica Max Neocore output was 7 fps and on o1 its 63 fps currently.
Even than I could play games like ninjump and mx moto.
So what difference would be there in performance even if we can clock till 768-787 and not 806.
Will the flash not run because our clock speed is 787 and not 800?
I hope people are getting what I am asking. When our o1 can handle things like Neocore 63 fps, 1gb ext partition, multi format video playback, then why would it be difficult to run flash on 787 instead of 800 even when flash would be optimized for our kind of processors?

My phone is running on CM7 Beta 3 and I want to overclock it to 1.5 Ghz I followed the inscructions here http://bugbig.com/how-to-overclock-motorola-atrix-4g-to-1-5-ghz
and when I typed on the emulator : ''insmod olympus_overclock.ko'' it was written : insmod: init_module 'olympus_overclock.ko' failed (exec format error)
I'm running on Faux's kernel (faux123) so what can I do to overclock my phone to 1.5 Ghz ?
Thank you in advance
Why 1.5? What's magic about that number? Doubt we will ever see 1.5 on Atrix. Dual core already gets hot enough at 1.1 and there is no cooling available. Different to a single core OC.
Assimilated via WinBorg 4G
that guide is extremely outdated. the kernel module you're trying to use was released before the bootloader was unlocked, and as far as i've read from Faux123 there is something limiting our ability to overclock that we just haven't broken through yet.

A few things to consider.
May be the kernel you are using is not meant to work with CM7 Beta.
May be you are following the steps but the guide itself is broken.
May be you are trying to OC your phone to 1.5 GHz but the script is broken.
You said you are running Faux's kernel, well that kernel is only taking your phone to 1.1 GHz, how and why do you expect your phone to magically OC itself to 1.5?
Just 2 cents : I agree with CaelanT, this phone is a Monster itself. When you OC your phone to 1.1, it just bloody flies... Whats the need to OC it all the way to 1.5? Also, while OC'd, it heats up like a *****... I have seen my phone temperature reaching > 45 degrees... Man, it feels like a burning charcoal... I am just wondering if one will actually end up blowing up his/her phone just cuz of OC'd phone.
I actually keep mine underclocked...

Hi,
If there is a limit on clock frequencies, in my experience that implies a multiplier register needs to be changed. But a 50% overclock is rather ambitious, 10% is probably the safest range.

Excessively overclocking mobile devices - is an incredibly stupid idea,... unless you have no problem getting a hardbrick one day.
Try overclocking your desktop PC up to 50% without additional cooling and let us know how it goes. Phones have NO cooling, they weren't meant to be overclocked that much.
Besides our current Tegra 2 setup has enough performance for everything available on Android at this moment.
If anything is lagging for you, that's because:
1. Motorola released crappy laggy motoblur
2. some app developer released crappy laggy app
Why does overclocking always turn into a penis measuring contest?
Focus on software optimisation, not on more raw performance to make up for crappy code.

SGS2 starts out with dual core 1.2GHz, so technically you haven't reached a .5GHz OC there. Even if you did, comparing the SGS2 to the Atrix is apples to oranges.
The problem with the Atrix is not only whether the hardware will OC to 1.5GHz. Heat is the biggest problem, and with very high temps on a 1.1GHz OC under load I doubt as I mentioned before we will ever reach 1.5GHz.
I don't know what temps the SGS2 processor gets to, so I can't comment on that.
1.1/1.2 GHz is quite fast enough for me, and as someone else said, it just turns into an epeen war, with no actual rhyme or reason for wanting to OC so high other than to see if it is possible, which is all good and well.
I can OC my PC way higher than it currently is, but I choose a conservative approach because I do not want to fry any components, have graphical artifacts, etc. Same goes for my phone. I want stability and to not have to wave it around in the air to manually actively cool it!

I haven' used Setcpu in a while but I believe it's got a feature to stress test the settings to see if it can handle it. Generally the worst that happens is it'll crash. So long as it doesn't get hot. Heat=death for electronics :')
I'm using tegrak (from market) to overclock to 1.4. I found 1.5 was too unstable. Noticeable difference between 1.2 & 1.4 is almost none. Also voltage increase of 50mv was needed to gain stability. There is not much point of overclocking the device IMO unless like me u just get some satisfaction out of knowing its running faster!

Well it's not safe, that I can say. Nothing is safe when you don't know what other things are changing with the clock rate. But still you could do that. You just have to make sure that the temperature is within limit, it will be definitely high, but make sure it's not that high.
And upping the clock rate to 1.5 GHz won't drain any extra battery than 1.2 GHz.

I tried the overclocking and each phone is different, increase then test, there are many benchmarking apps out there, I was stable at 1.4, my kernel does not include 1.5 GHz, and irregardless of what people may say, running the phone at higher clock speeds consistently DOES drain the battery more than 1.2GHz, unless you have found a way to manipulate the laws of physics. I don't see how one can fathom the thought that you can get a faster CPU at absolutely no cost.
Many people think when the CPU running faster means you complete tasks faster, hence 1.5 would complete a task faster than 1.2 and hence save battery, but I believe we use this phone as more than a calculator, so when you are performing a task that causes the CPU to run at 1.5 for a period of time e.g playing a game, browsing or whatever you do with your phone, then the CPU has to draw more power to keep the frequency at 1.5 as compared to the CPU running at 1.2
All in all, I dialed back because I was doing fine without it and I did not need it, other people may need it, and I wasn't gaining anything. to answer your question directly, it all depends on what you do with your phone, I'm not a huge gamer or anything and the 1.2GHz has proven to be more than enough for me to have a very pleasant experience using this device
Using it occasionally is safe, unless you stress your mobile at 1.5+ ghz for more than an hour or so.
The cpu governor will only make use of higher frequencies when there is a need, so mostly you will see your mobile idling at 200 mhz.

Not necessarily a lot worse. It depends on how you are using your phone, and what is causing it to run fast. If overclocking allows the phone to spend longer in deep sleep state, your battery will win. If its games, and by OC you achieve a higher frame rate, then the phone is doing more work, and this will be reflected in the battery life going down.
Most of the time, screen on is going to dominate. If you are a low screen-on user, I guess there is more chance for a higher max_cpu to be beneficial (it won't be used unless there is a task that requires it). More accurately, it helps some of the time, so the net result is not always obvious to predict.
How about undervolting?
Any danger in doing so- other than crashing when voltage is too low?
Before over clocking it might be worth downloading cpuspy from the market and seeing what time you spend in each speed.
Chances are most of the time you won't even hit 1.2 so might not have anything to gain by over clocking.
Then again I dont know how you use your device but I do know I was surprised when I found out.

I've played with the SuperSonic version of this phone (which has a 1.5Ghz core) and the results from photos/video are much better, I'm pretty sure the cameras are exactly the same but the SuperSonic benefits from the higher CPU.
I think it would be cool if somebody could write an app that states
IF user opens Camera application voltage + clock speed is increased to allow stable 1.5GHz speed
WHEN user closes camera application overclock turns off.
Thoughts?
You have a smartphone! Not a pc!
I didnt see any advantage if you oc to 1.5
Btw In normal use your phone keep in 200mhz not 1.2.
I think i only hit 1.2 two or 3 times for 3 seconds in a full battery cycle.

oc dosnt make sense ,there no noticeable diff,an yes very few times i hit 1.2 mostly its on 800 or few times on 1000....using a device with 1.5ghz proccesor an oc a device to 1.5 ghz which has 1ghz processor is very diff in nature....
Fair enough.
Well I wouldn't mind an app that mazes out at 1.2GHz with camera app open, as it can lag when shooting HD.
oc upto 1.4 ghz is fair enough, anything more than that is a waste. though you cant find any visible difference between 1,1.2 and 1.4 it does helps in maintaining smoothness on some situations.
yes very true i had oc my sgs1 at 1.2ghz and sgs2 at 1.4ghz but frankly i dint see the diff so after few days use i turnd to orignal settings....but many use oc an phone works fine,but depends on personel use......an yes as bala_gammer says its fine on 1.4ghz......cheeeerz

hey mate
u really think 100mhz would make that much change? its safe btw... seen people running s2 at clock speed higher than 1.3ghz
Plz help @..Longtime hd gaming(gta sa,nfs mw , asphalt,modern combat...) using 1.4 ghz is safe?
I also noted that gameloft games are makes more over heat for phone..
Which is the best and safe voltage level for 1.4 ghz 1250mv or 1275mv or 1300mv
Iam using siyah v6.0b5 kernel with wizzedkat 3.1..
