Safe overclock speed - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Overclock results??

Has anyone overclocked their 3d yet?? If so how fast and how does the phone run??

Stupid fast. I'm only overclocked to 1.5Ghz right now, but literally everything is instant. It feels very snappy, and surprisingly, it's battery life is decent. Usually lasts about 20 hrs or more depending on what kernel you use (I use Netarchy's). I couldn't even imagine how fast it would be with proper gpu acceleration.
Do you notice a major difference between a custom kernel on a rooted og evo? Im tryna see if its that much faster or will it kinda b close once i reroot my evo4g

What ROM and Kernal are U using?? How long are you stable??

[Q] CPU Question ?

I have the 2.1 siyah kernel and i left it in perfomance govener for a few hours by mistake is it ok too run 1.6ghz for a few hours stright
Actually SGS2 is too fast already and i see no need for OC at all
Anyway, i don't really know about that kernel, but i believe that at 1,6GHz it increases voltage which isn't too good thing and might reduce processors life time.

Unless you make 100% usage at 1.6 ghz for some straight hours, its not going to harm you and your mobile except your battery life
Heat is a cpus worst enemy. Also keep the voltage in mind when ocing. Your phone will only be running at 1.6 under full load so a couple of hours of max activity will get the phone hot and with heat come instability.

I dont know if it was running %100 cpu but it was at 1600mhz the whole time right now everything is ok but it seems to get slightly warm quick and runs 31 celius battrey but that might just be normal

31 sounds right

Overclocking disable 1ghz freq?

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

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.

Antutu scores questions?

So I've been unable to get higher benchmarks than what I've attached. I know its not really a way to judge my phone, but rather me being curious. How are people getting such high scores on their rezounds? I'm currently running CleanROM 4.1 and loving every bit of it. Let me know what your scores are and what you've done to get those scores.

the highest score i ever got was 7200 on BAMF ICS v1.1 with SebastianFM's kernel.

I got a very similar score the first time I ran Antutu with CleanRom 4.1 (in the mid 3000's). I tried it again a few days later, not having changed anything in particular and got a 6276. So I'm not sure why there was a 3000+ point discrepency.
I've tried it a couple times and its consistantly in the 3000 range. I've never seen even remotely close to 7000 on my Rezound no matter what Rom I was running, lol.

those benchmarking apps are inaccurate and useless. tried running twice back to back. first over 7000 then just barely 3500. total waste of time

Yeah I know they're not accurate, but until I have a better way to test it, I use em for the hell of it.

im also getting crap benchmarks on any gb kernel i try, doesn't make sense for a dual core device.
I've been hitting around 6k with Antutu.
I mostly use it as a comparison to my old Inctedible though...this phone is super smooth, so I don't really care what the benchmark says!

what are you guys getting with cf-bench and the updated quadrant?

I've been getting decent scores with quadrant, but they haven't updated the list of devices so its hard to have anything to compare it to. I haven't tried the other one.
Also, I know there's a difference, but I get scores in the high 8000s with my Xoom overclocked to 1.5 ghz, but only 3000s with my Rezound clocked at 1.5 ghz as well.

This has been discussed in Sebastians thread. It has to do w/ an issue with mpdecision. Besides benchmarks mean nothing!
All Day
I consistently get over 7000 when I run Antutu. Overclocked to 1.834 on cleanrom 4.3
I get close to 3000 with Quadrant...but I only really use it to see if new tweaks help or hurt.

2nd core

Just checking,but under antutu CPU master,or setcpu,and Rom manager pro..it only showes 1 core ..my quadrant are around 3500 ..s-off running newts rl3,,,txs

I was running newts rls1 and getting 3600 quadrant and 6500+ antutu. When I switched to rls3 everything went down...so back to rls1 for me.
Other people have pointed out and I find this to work, that if you use setcpu and check "enable profiles", the 2nd core is turned on. I went ahead and set a screen off profile of 192/192 (max/min). I"m experimenting with these values, though. It seems I can knock down my mA use (per Battery Monitor Widget) by using the profile. The cpu does appear to be scaling properly. Many people have said not to use any of these cpu things and I did have some trouble with setcpu previously but it seems to be doing its thing with RLS1 anyway.

Programs probably just are't reading it right.
Speaking generally, the 2nd core will sit idle until needed, so it may be 'offline' when those apps check.
Until we get custom kernels/kernel source, there isn't much that can be done about it.

Lunatic summed it up perfectly. There are 2 cores, but the applications can't "see" them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496934 If you read through this thread the OP talks about the mpdecision not working properly. Basically it's the file that governs when both cores are on etc. It is something that can affect synthetic benches, but not real world performance. Probably why current ****s given by HTC = 0. Quadrant = trash and benches are for jerking off to numbers which generally is not an indicative to device performance. But whatever floats your boat I suppose .
Kool txs every1,,and I do use benchmarks to how my current Rom or tweak us working,,most of us are visual and need a program to tell us how it is..but I'm glad there s alot of hardcore peps to do the schooling
Perflock. There is no CPU management. Using setcpu doesn't do anything...its all in your head.

It's like using a condom with a hole in it. There's no purpose for it, it'll only cause problems or children.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
If you use setcpu or similar and change pretty much any settings it should force the second core to do work.
