[Q] How to tell if a kernel supports undervolt - Motorola Photon 4G

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!!

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.

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.

Bi-winning SetCPU suggestions?

I'm running Bullet 1.420 Kernal, what's a good setting for setcpu for profiles and such? I've been a vibrant rooter for a long time and never looked into it, thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Are you aiming for battery life or performance? If battery life is your goal, try what's in my signature. If you're going for performance, the simplest approach is to set your screen-on profile to 1420 (or performance governor) and nothing else, and your screen off profile to 800.

Oh okay, thanks, but what will happen if I put 1420 high and 100 min? Cause I want my Kernal to be free and not suppressed at the standard the phone puts, will that "free" it and will it kill battery faster? I hope you get what I mean, lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Shouldn't be a problem setting 1420/100. The biggest problem I've found with overclocking is the "Sleep of Death", which occurs when you don't have the proper settings for screen-off mode. At 1200 OC, it's recommended to set your minimum frequency to 400 to avoid Sleep of Death. I believe at 1420, 800 is a safe bet to avoid Sleep of Death.

All depends on how you use your phone. When your phone is on and you're gaming which will ramp your speed up to the maximum, then yeah. You're gonna burn more battery. I'm more battery conscious myself, and find my UI and experience smooth as silk at 1.2 with Bali-X while still getting massive battery savings with the phone spending most of it's time under 800mhz when I'm doing less intensive tasks like SMS.
At this point, your best bet is to simply test it out. Your mileage will vary depending on the ROM and kernel version you use.

SetCPU

I was curious... does SetCpu work for this phone like Milestone Overclock? What's the difference, aside from SetCPU having more options?
They are both free (well SetCPU only free for XDA), but everyone uses milestone OC here and I'm wondering if there's a reason for that.

There is difference between two applications. Milestone overclock actually overclocks the processor while setcpu doesn't. Setcpu just changes clock frequency of CPU ranging from minimum to maximum. It allows you to make user profiles depending on which frequency of processor will be controlled. It actually helps battery last battery longer. BTW setcpu is paid application
SetCPU is used for setting CPU parameters. Like the range of mhz your CPU works at. Also setting profiles (CPU mhz when the phone is charging, reach temperature, battery lower than... etc.). But it cannot be used for overcharging, that's why we use Milestone overclock...

I personally think Setcpu creates glitches in phone routine. Say when I play music and turn off the display, after I turn it on it pauses music a bit. I uninstalled it, problem seems to be no more. Still I can't confirm if the bug was created because of setcpu plus the battery life is not increased exponentially with setcpu.
Thanks for the answers

I think I agree, lol. Android has it's own built in "Setcpu" it's supposed to do a good job on it's own. I have been using it lately and not really sure it is much of an advantage. I'm gonna go a few days without I think and see. Same with battery calibration, I use 3 backup batteries so if it works it really can't work properly when switching batteries but they all always seem calibrated the same whether I use it or not.
SetCPU works with msoc but it is more of a parameter setting app. Imagine if you were oc to 1200 all the time. That would be foolish bc your processor would burn up that is to say if you battery stayed charged long enough to do it. Im set at 1100/74 but I don't need it like that all the time. When my screen is off, why do I need it that high. I do bc I listen to alot of online media, MLB, Jango, Pandora, and if the screen is on it makes temp go up. I do, you may not need it that high. SetCPU allows me to set that parameter to adjust the CPU down and underclock it if I need to. Also if my battery is too hot, I don't need it to be fast as lightning compounding heat, so I set it for a specific temp and it underclocks when I hit it. Here is a screen shots to show my settings.

Exactly that is what I've tried, uninstalled SetCPU to see the battery performance. It was really unnoticeable the battery drain with and without Setcpu. I use Autokill Memory Optimizer which seems to be providing good results as well as performance enhancement.

Yes it has to do with SetCPU if your minimum frequency is less. In screen lock profile select min frequency to 550Mhz instead of 250Mhz. Music won't pause while waking up your device. It works!

I guess you are correct.
But currently I removed the SetCPU. And I see much better performance now. I was min at 250MHz. Even the quadrant score is much better now.
Thanks for your insight
I remove setcpu and do a comparison too. I'm using CM 7.1.0 of fjfalcon and it lasts 1.5-2 days with minimal usage on setcpu. Now let's see if it's barely unnoticable.
but I think set cpu to 250mhz during the night when you don't use your phone may prolong battery life.

Dude! with those settings what is your battery life like?
my minimum is at 125mhz and max at 250mhz (when screen off) and I lose 30% over night! and it barely lasts 8hours D:

Do you guys know how the smartass governor works?

Mine are as follows...
all info in my sig. I use 500-1400 conservative with a 500-500 power save profile set for when the screen is off.
My battery lasts between 28-42 hrs pending my usage level from high - low. YMMV.

So, I'm heavily themed, but not much in widgets.
Seems good on battery, can last ~14 hours with moderate to high use.
Stable as well, no major crashes other than the usual browser and market.
I use Voltage Control myself and I've UV'd all across the board by -50. I've also dropped max speed to 1000Mhz. The rest should be pretty self explanatory...
Oh and I can't really list battery life because my usage really varies day to day, by quite a bit. I will say that I definitely get through an entire day with very high usage with no problems at all. Much... MUCH better than when I was running stock.

Day to day performance, there really is no difference than stock, but to compare quadrant, I got ~3300 stock, but at this OC I get ~4400. It's gonna be smooth as butter either way, I just like numbers
Display time, I'm not too sure, but my settings are at its 1/3 highest (so not too bright, but not too dim either for me). If I were to approximate, I would say a good 2 hours of the display being on, give or take an hour or too (not the best estimate, but Ill try and keep track next time and report back).
Rooted stock
No themes
I get a good 14 to 18 hrs (minimal usage during the day and heavier usage evenings/nights - lots of wifi or data intensive apps)

Here's my settings
Main Profile: 200Mhz Min 1Ghz Max running conservative governor. During the day. Conservative is performing better than ondemand for me.
I've also been toying with the up and down thresholds on the conservative governor to find a difference. Haven't really experienced any lag unless I set the up threshold to 90 or over.
Screen Off: 200 Min 500 Max also conservative
Charging: 200 Min 1400 Max ondemand
Battery <25% 200Min 800Max conservative
I've been finding the phone is just as good running at 800mhz max on the main profile. It's amazing how much faster this thing is then my captivate.
As far as voltages

Might have to Overvolt. I had to overvolt 1400Mhz by 25mv in order to get it stable.
Also I've noticed lately when it's not happy with the setCPU settings I'm using the phone seems to emit a high pitched frequency when you put your ear to the back cover. When I get stable it appears to stop.

Not sure what to tell ya. I just installed SetCPU and this is the default settings showing - the same as Voltage Control and what I was referring to. I deleted the boot and profile settings first from Voltage Control and then rebooted, then installed SetCPU.
The only thing I can think of is that since I'm running UnNamed with Entropy's daily driver, maybe the voltage was tweaked from him? I'm only assuming because reading through his thread doesn't seem to indicate that he upped the default voltage on all levels. Unless I missed it somewhere.

lol... I would always underclock to the 1200Mhz range to save battery, or use the stock 1512 with a more conservative governor like Intellidemand, rarely ever overclocked and when I did it was just to test something or run a quick benchmark, never really saw any real gain to it at all, always thought it was better to lower the bottom end as low as you could get it to 96-192Mhz so that even if something kept it awake, it would barely be running.
Whenever I'm running "Intensive items" I sometimes overclock. Most of the time I try to underclock to save battery as ace said. Although Doesn't really save that much battery. I stay at stock 1.5GHz a lot though...

True... Underclocking the top end doesn't do much, although if you can lower the bottom end, and undervolt some, it can make a big difference when sleeping.

O you're saying when sleeping. Holy crap YES!! It makes a HUGE difference. I run sense 5 a lot (running that right now) and the battery life on "sleep" is already great, but when I underclock like I did the other day, I forgot to plug my phone in that night, it was at 5% I woke up and it was at 4% 8 hours later only 1% lost. Of course thats on Snuzzo's funky kernel and underclocked, but DANG!!! NEVER seen my battery life that good. The 4% also lasted another 5 hours without use! Don't know how but it did. :laugh::good:
Depends what I'm doing, usually under clocked to save battery throughout the day. I used to record YouTube videos on my rez, I would over clock for recording and benchmarks, finding the perfect i/o scheduler, governor and clock speed to run stable was fun.

1728. Fastest mine goes without being unstable.
