Is overclock make battery drain?
are you overclocking ? as in are you using frequencies higher than 998MHz?

Yes sure it will consume more battery if you overclock it,but better performance

That's not 100% correct. if you download an app like CPU Spy you can monitor how much time your phone spends on each CPU state. unless you do a lot of gaming and other CPU intensive activity your phone will spend most of it's time in lower CPU states. unless you specify that you want it to run at 1113 MHz at all times which yeah, would kill your battery faster. just looking at CPU Spy on my phone OC'd to 1228 MHz it has spent 70 hours in Deep sleep and 25 hours on 245 MHz. only 3 hours at 1228 MHz.
So unless you do CPU intensive things on your phone you shouldn't notice an overly dramatic change in battery life.

Hello..anyone can teach me how to overclock xperia x10
Bootloader is not unlocked. It's impossible at the moment.

First, you crack the bootloader.
When you've done that, I'm guessing you allready figured out how to OC the CPU

For now just use the overclock widget. set top two settings as high as you want up to 998 click on off screen frequency. set between 246 and next number you choose. set at boot save. define settings at what mhz you like and experiment. do not run on screen and off screen freq at max. i have had my battery sweating and even plugged in all day and not gained a single % of charge. until boot loader is cracked.... this is all you can do.

Although it's impossible today because of bootloader, note it's always dangerous and not great to overclock embedded cpus.
You can't overclock a lot, as you have a battery (X10 works about 5-10 hours with full speed - 998MHz), and the CPU only has passive elements to cool. Overclock can damage your CPU and your motherboard, stress all elements and low your battery life (battery charge and cycle of charge). (Even there's a self shutdown when too hot)
You can get an idea of overclock on Nexus forum, as we have the same CPU (Snapdragon 8250) - I saw overclock up to 1300 MHz, but it's really not looking safe to me
Thanx everyone..

Depends also on the voltage (as long as your voltage isn't increasing as you overclock, it isn't really that harmful as long as you watch the heat), and what you have your underclock speed set to with screen off (as this can in some sense reverse some of the possible "damage")...
I had my htc hero overclocked to 710 with the screen on, and underclocked 176 with the screen off and it ran a lot better.
I digress, I see no purpose in doing so when you already have a 1ghz processor that is super fast. I only really see a point in overclocking if the possible benefit is greater than the possible harm, and in this circumstance, I really don't think you would see that much benefit.

I have seen considearable difference when maxed out. however the dangers are high of overheat. ive done it once and onetime only. kept on and off screen at 998 and hat it plugged in all day with out a single gain of battery. it was like on life support and was hot enough the phone was sweating even when sitting next to a fan blowing on it constantly.:-( since then i have made adjustments to run between 700 and 998mhz on screen and min 246 and 400mhz when screen off.
if looking for better performance without the overclock and good drain of battery, download and install sysctl from market and follow settings below.

Not in all instances. Depends on the quality of the chip. Lot of chips are capable of handling higher speeds and temps but are set lower quality assurance.
For instance, I've got a NookColor that has base CPU set at 800MHz and is now overclockable to 1.2GHz
We'll have to do stress tests on some to see what they're capable of.

Agreed.
My Motorola Defy has a Omap3630 that comes at 800MHz,stock but can be easily overclocked to 1.3GHz without a sweat.
Just depends on the chip's capacity of "Stress".

It is not a static value across devices. Test it out yourself and use the one which is stable for you. Some guys have it stable even at 806 while my phone freezes at anything above 768.

My o1 freezes at abt 800Mhz...
If you want to play safe, keep it under 720... after this it starts becoming unstable....
Press Thanks If I helped...
i would not set anything more than 768
and i like to set it one level below the max I think I can go.
so i set it at 480/748, and it is stable
varies...im pretty stable at 480/844
Depends on your Hardware
Try frequencies from 729 to 806 , but remember to uncheck the "Set on boot" option. (Just in-case to avoid boot loops)
I've set mine at 787
Thanks guys! I will try!

What about the lower end of the freq?
I see some people cost 245 while some post 480.
I'm thinking 245 give it a better battery life since its lower but I've also read somewhere that 245 is too low and it causes the cpu to ramp up and down.
My phone gradually increases the chance of receiving a kernel panic starting at 768 MHz.

I've been reading a lot about battery saving in our P500 and it seems that power consumption is the same for frequencies of 480 mhz and below, so in the end, the phone sleeping at 245 consumes the same battery as when it's sleeping at 480.
With that in mind, it's much more convenient to set the clock at 480 mhz at it's minimun since it provides a better response and wakes the phone faster, ending up in less processing time with same battery consumption.

Probably, for me it looks too bright at 40% and I had to put it to 25%.
729(max) and 480(min) with SmartassV2 governor is the best

which rom and kernel are you using...
I'm pretty noob at making overclocks. How do I know the overclock I'm using is crashing/bugging/killing my phone? I'm using mik Cyanogenmod 6.6.1 480/748.
Ive been running the "cm7-1.4highpro-test-rev3" kernel and it runs great. I've been bumping up my undervolting slowly, and im at -475 at 216 mhz, which (in theory) should be the undervolt clock speed that will save me most battery becasue i have phone set to go between 216 mhz and 312 mhz when screens off. Ive got both 216 and 312 mhz undervolted extremely heavily and i haven't seen ANY issues. The rest of clock speeds are at -100 or so, and if i push much further than that the phone locks up and does weird stuff. This would lead me to believe that the undervolting IS indeed working. But can the processor really run at -475 @216mhz and [email protected] without any side affects?? I haven't once had it get stuck in sleep mode with screen off or ANYTHING, so im a bit unsure if it is actually undervolting or not.. Myrt undervolt shows that my phone is undervolted to the specific settings i set within SetCpu. I also havent seen much, if any, difference with battery life. With 10 hours of idle time, straight idle screen off whole time, wifi, gps, mobile data, 4g, bluetooth, all that stuff off and after 10 hours my battery is down to 85%.
I limited uv clocks, so there is a low limit. One day ill add more low end clocks but it won't matter because the photon uses a separate clock for suspend. I knew people would try to uv to 500 with it set on boot and screw there phone up. So this way I didn't have thousands of user error related uv issues. Uv does works but its more for high end than low end. Low end uv causes sleep of death.

haha ok I understand, just thought I was going crazy there for a bit, or had the most amazing tegra 2 known to man. is there a way to UV the suspend mode then or no? And is my battery life at idle about average or low considering the UV. do you have any kernels for CM7 that aren't limited for UV? Thanks for reply, and all your hard work on the photon!!
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Changing suspend voltage can only be done in source. I havnt played with it yet because i need to test it on a stable kernel that way i know any issues would come from it. As far as extra uv steps its planned after wifi fix. I wont add 500 new steps probably 2 steps at a time(-25 steps). Im also planning on changing my clock table(multiples of 216 only). I might make a half step 1.0 kernel underclocked to 108~192. It will be mem underclocked and gpu/avp underclocked. With lower voltage tables on everything. Default scheduling will be powersave. Which you can check out with cpu master right now. That kernel will also have a tweaked 2 core start/stop.

If your motherboard got burnt by overclocking, your phone is bricked.

NO problem. The best CPU frequency is either 864mHz or 883 mHz. Up to you!
No kernels we have will do that I'm pretty sure because we haven't entered the wonderful world of voltage changes. Just keep the bat temp under 50 degrees

Ah its maybe brick some phones
But its power off immadietly when got high temperature
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Overclocking too much like more than 900 Mhz may get your phone in high temperature. Also continuous overclocking can reduce your processor's remaining life span. So if you're planning to use your phone for long time. I'd suggest to not to.
PS:
1) I have overclocked to 864Mhz for normal use (Using SetCPU), Priority: 50%
2) To stay away from heating, given max Clock to 640Mhz when Temperature is >39%, Priority: 75%
and there are some other profiles too but irrelevant to this topic.
My phone is overclocked. but i always lower Maximum Mhz of it to 1113Mhz or lower by useing SetCpu. so i need to know even if i lower the processor speed will my battery drain because my phone is overclocked.
Overclocking will drain battery more, undervolting less
It will unless you also undervolt....undervolting and overclocking on the same time sends the phone in another dimension and without losing to much juice.
