How has overclocking affected your performance and battery life? What's your preferred setup?
I appeciate the input.

quadrant went from 2300 to 2900. Experience is marginally better - stock is very good, overclocked at 1.4G is excellent. The one time it does make a difference is when reading the NYT book review on Kindle. It would appear to stall on stock.
No impact on autonomy. I plug at night. Always have more than enough for the day.

I'm currently running the latest non oc/uv of dead horse, and I wanna know what exactly are the benefits of overclocking/undervolting?
I'm already getting really good battery life with the current kernel I have.
Thanks in advance!

Basically Overclocking makes the phone faster at the sacrifice of lower battery life, Undervolting improves battery life potentially at the cost of processor speed. The proper combination of the two can give you a faster phone with the same or even improved battery life. (very basic explanation i know)
Using setcpu, correct?

I don't think under volting has anything to do with processor speed. I've under volted quite a bit before with no drop in linpack or quadrant scores. If you drop the voltage too low it will cause the cpu to freeze though.
Im new to this phone, came from the incredible, on that phone i could clock sense 1.075 and aosp 1.113. What is a safe speed that is stable on this phone? Thanks for the help!

Safe is stock clock speeds. Overclock is different for each individual device produced. Only way to find your devices limits is to test them carefully.
I OC'd up to 1.5 for a while but honestly, I barely saw an appreciable difference in performance
it was pretty stable though!
I've been using setCPU to underclock while the screen is off and keep the speed from dropping under .7 while the screen is on, but not OCing at all...stable, snappy, and I'm getting a few extra battery hours to boot.
Thanks for the replies, ill play around with it.

I've took mine to 1.9

pointless to OC. i am under-clocking at 768mhz max/245mhz min lagfree and is flies
I ocd, then backed it down to normal. The difference in speed was minimal, difference in battery was muy grande!

1.2 is probably a safe speed for most tbolts. I personally don't oc though. No need.

as stated above there really isn't any performance gain when overclocking I ran at 1.6 for a few days and never noticed a difference so i dropped it back to normal and again noticed no change. I think the real gains in performance are made by installing a rom.
Would I get better speed if I disabled 1ghz frequency and left 1.2ghz the default Max frequency?
Would it be faster?
Or slower? Or nothing?
Don't like the 1ghz frequency. But I notice my phone is a little slower when disabling. It.

I thought you were making a kernel with 1.9 ghz overclock? That should be fast enough

1.2 > 1.0

Good to see enyo has found where he belongs in xda. Asking questions and learning.
This is a big improvement enyo.
as to 1.2 feeling slower, your putting a massive undervolt on it. Try backing it off a bit and see if responsiveness comes back. Also, higher clock speeds can lead to better battery in theory by completing tasks faster and allowing the CPU to govern back down to a idle state.

Thanks. Your right. Backed to -75mV on 1.2ghz and faster response came back.
Also it because really fast after switching to the Medium Leakage.
I rarely let my phone sleep, so 1.2 is the maximum I'll go for speed/battery.
But, the more you UV, you get laggy if its too low, but stable?

Honestly -50uv across the board yields the best performance, battery life and reliability.

Is there a advantage if it's undervolted 100+ mV?

that would be called overvolting... yes performance may increase, but inturn added heat, less battery life and instability can occur with it.

So -50mV is just enough?
I'll do that. Your good with setups of oc/uv.
Seems really stable for me.
Trying Low leakage for better battery. But Medium is perfect right
Now.

just tried your setup. And I didn't know how slow my phone was till I used yours. So undervolting to much does slow down your phone. And it Got hot out of no where.
Thanks

Of the 1.5 s4 in the One X... I have my incredible 4g overclocked to 1.5 and it runs smooth as butter and stable. Ran through stress tests and benchmarks and its a go....

If you happen to keep running this for a full day, would you mind reporting back how much the overclock affects the battery life? Thanks a lot for this, it's great news!

depending on usage, I imagine it would be minimal. I assume the CPU underclocks itself when idle and only goes up to 1.5 during heavy usage like playing a game or maybe launching an app. so if you aren't doing this most of the time, then I would imagine the power usage would be pretty much the same. I'd be more interested in how much hotter the phone gets when playing a game.

Hmm... That is a little bit more of an effect than I expected.
Of course, we will probably be able to minimize the effect overclocking has on battery life by installing custom kernels (once we have them) with more battery efficient CPU governors. As far as I know, the default CPU governor for Android is still ondemand, which scales up to the maximum frequency very easily. Something like smartassv2 or lazy would probably do a better job.

I flashed some of chaotic weaponry stweaks profile and did this benchmark to see what I get. Is my phone fast ? Can it be faster? Just wondering
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
What was the score prior to flashing the tweaks, and does your phone feel faster after flashing the tweaks?
The note 2 can benchmark way higher than that. However I prefer smoothness and battery efficiency..
People actually care about benchmark scores?

Lol my thought exactly. These days, it's all about the software. Worrying about hardware speed is a thing of the past.
