Atrix overheating please help - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My atrix has been running really. Hot since I overclocked with a 1.45 kernel but I'm only runing it at 1.2 and it is geting up to 52 c + just after boot and after sitting for a bit what could I do to fix this and would undervolting help if so how should I undervolt?

I recommend undervolting with setcpu to 1GHz with that kernel. That should keep the heat down.

yup i second that option or you will burn up the phone !

Weirdly enough I find mine gets quite hot sometimes randomly no matter which rom or voltages I run..the older ones seem cooler...

Also you can run alogcat and see if there's an error process that's looping. Look for red entries.. I've found that this will cause extreme heat issues if the loop doesnt terminate..

Try to fix permissions to perhaps repair looping errors to reduce CPU load.

Big battery increase..

So I use my phone quiet a bit like almost constantly and I usually struggle to get 5-6 hours out of my phone.. I had done an avs antivirus pro scan and deleted a few useless sprint apps (using avs antivirus pro if you go into tools and tuneup) then I did a battery calibration the next morning when I had 100%,(which I had done before) ive now been today gotten a little over 8 hours! (actually the final time I got was 8 hours 8mins and 8 seconds )
Just a tip dont know if this will be consistant for everyone post back your results if you try it!
(this photo isnt quite at 8 hours but that 1% of battery life lasted quite a long time!)

Best I've gotten so far. That was during an average work day, heavy usage before and after work with moderate usage while at work during smoke breaks and such.

Or you could just turn off mobile data expect when you need it.
I'm going to see what I can get with it underclocked to 750mhz(second core disabled) and mobile data turned off.
This is on Rock rom, with the 1.3ghz rom from it, and I uninstalled moto portal and task manager.

You posted on the kernel thread that underclocking to 750mhz disables the second core. I tried it on multiple kernels and it gave me similar results on all of them, in battery life and benchmarks.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
That only worked on that one kernel.
I'll be making another soon

The worst observed battery life was about 3 hours when using the phone in a poor signal location and doing lots of web surfing. Max battery life observed so far was 37 hours just about 5 days ago.
I had good improvement after killing Sprint apps too. I still need a bigger battery through....

A challenge :)

Ok ill be upfront i didnt try that much, but for the sake of lulz lets see how long it takes for people to beat my score.
http://score.nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2&device_id=606
the current high score is held by myself at 27.0 (had 27.1 but scores refused to submit)
please keep in mind that im doing this with stock 198_7. the rom itself has a few tweaks done by myself. kernel is stock (yea i really beat out someone running at 1.3ghz)
https://market.android.com/details?id=se.nena.nenamark2
lets get to it
P.S i dont give a damn about other devices, this is about the phone we all own, (ya know the sunfire )
Well I clocked to 1.0 and it still showed 1.3
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
yea, it goes by the kernel max not what your capping it at.
my score was 26.1 tried to upload screenshot on xda but keeps telling me to log in..... I'm already logged in anyhow figured id toss my results out there running rocko ROM joker 1.3 kernel speedy v7 zeps v6 & Kak without the i/o tweak on quadrant I hit3640

My most recent one OC'd to 1.8 and on Nils latest rom I got a total of 7,618.
That's amazing! I haven't seen a need to OC though, phone runs smooth as butter for me on CleanROM ICS.
Push it to the limit if you can, why not? I have the extended battery and I'm a speed freak (no, not a meth head lol) so mine is always at 1.8 GHz and 100% brightness.
over clocked. lol
Not as high as you guys, this was on clean rom dev only overclocked to 1.7
I am running CleanROM ICS 4.2.2 and got this today. It is the highest I have gotten yet.
I quit running this meaningless app a long time ago when I realized the score could vary by over 2000 points without the phone performance varying even the tiniest bit.......
Ok here's my best score with CleanROM 4.2 Pro oc to 1.836MHz

That's nothin. I got this score on Antutu back in 1985.

Overclocking to 2ghz

Is it possible to overclock s3 to 2ghz?

I think it would be possible with the quad core 2gb ram model as it has the same specs as the note 2 and that has been seen at 2ghz
im what Willis was talking about
Feel free to try it but I have a feeling that the phone will reboot because of overheating buy try it and let us know...
Intact why the f would you want it a 2ghz our phones are phones not blumming computers ... most mobile games don't even touch our phone... but like I said try it ... it would be a gimmick type thing
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Mine reboot after 1.8ghz so wouldn't recommend it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Personally i would say you can but i think that would be pushing it a little bit, a friend of mine has his at 1.7ghz and its not buggy or laggy so probably no higher then 1.7
Hope i helped if i did please click the "Thanks" button
When s4 is coming, it would probably have 8-cored processor. So when it does, can s3 compete with it...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Siyah Kernel allow up to 1.8Ghz . I believe it is possible however I do not believe it's safe. Overclocking that much might cause the device to over heat not forgetting the Battery drain issue that you will be facing as the battery isn't optimized to endure that power .

But you can only use quad at any one time on that processor as well.

Did you underclock it? Would love to try 1.8, but it never worked for me..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Myn also runs smooth on 1.8.
Have it for 3 months now without anny probs.
Everything in sttweaks like it is only oc. to 1.8 so no ov.
Temp always around 35 degrees Celsius and white heavy apps like navigation sometimes around the 48 degrees.

How did you manage to run it smoothly at 1.8ghz?...i tried that but it just kept freezing everytime.
Not every phone is the same. I have gotten a 1.92 GHz on my old Captivate. Not a lot of people could even get close to me.

Because
If @Yank555 or anyone that knows how to build/modify kernel could make a kernel with 2ghz, I would be happy to test it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
This has nothing to do with the original post, but is there any known issues running the s3 in 1.6 GHz for daily use?
thx
No, all works fine.
In 1.8 it starts to get laggy.

Sweet. Thanks for answer :good:
Will try to set it to 1.6 than, and hope for good results

How high can your device oc

I want to know how high other peoples devices can oc.
I can stabily run mine with 1200mhz normal oc plus20% live oc giveing me 1440mhz and runs stable just bumping up voltages for a few steps
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
Back in the miui gb roms with the platypus kernel. I was stable @1500 & could benchmark @1600. Never had any luck or patience messing with the voltage.

Same here on cm7. But now I can't go above 1.44ghz without it locking up and rebooting
