I have noticed that whenever i play heavy 3d games, my cpu only runs at 800 mhz..even though the scaling is from 200-1200 mhz. First i thought it was a problem with a specific game(The dark knight rises), but now i tried Mass effect infiltrator too..same thing happens..
I wouldnt have bothered too much but i get some fps drops..i expect 'smooth as a butter' experience from S2..which i aint getting..while playing 3d games..
Some one might argue that maybe the game requires only 800 mhz to run..but i seriously doubt it..in 3d applications(heavy) , the processor should be used at higher frequencies. Also, i tried scaling my cpu from 1000-1200 mhz, but still while playing games, the cpu goes back to 800 mhz lol..
Please someone explain this and also Try it on your device..do u notice the same results while playing a heavy 3d game?
I tried running stock kernel as well as siyah 3.3.2. getting same results on both.. tried different governers too..but same thing
I am on neatlite rom currently..could it be the rom thats the culprit?
Please someone do help me, i am getting frustrated with my S2 lol..
thanks

for ur 'Smooth as Butter' experience with 3d gaming, i would suggest u to flash a stock official ICS firmware and then see for the same
It would be really great if anyone could just verify it on their device too? Just run some good heavy 3d game..and look at the cpu usage..would be a lot appreciated
thanks again
COmeon anyone?? Please reply and let me know how is the game and cpu behaviour in your devices..am really worried coz of this issue...
Why don't you use apps like setcpu and clock your processor at 1200mhz max and say 1000mhz min?

If you noticed my post properly...i did try scaling from 1000-1200..but still the processor goes down to 800 mhz...
It only happens with heavy 3d games( which ironically require the processor the most)
2d games run at 1200 mhz but not the 3d ones lol..:|
Sorry! Try using chainfire's 3D app for the S2, install the drivers and see what happens then?

It could be due to smooth scaling setting bug from earlier siyah kernel, or throttling due to cpu temperature.
Try flash the latest siyah kernel and set smooth scaling level to 1200mhz.
i have set smooth scaling to 1200 mhz.. and yeh i guess it could be the throtling issue but why is it happening?
I mean i can run a 2d game like mutant roadkill on 1200mhz but when i try to run heavy 3d games..they just run at 800 mhz..
I did read bout this throttling issue to 800mhz but what can i do to avoid it? The phone doesnt get too hot either though..
Hi I'm running at 1600mhz on my galaxy note (stock is 1400) everything is running damn fast thumbs up.... But every single time I load a game which contains heavy 3d graphics then it goes down to 800mhz I just can't find a solution. Anyway running smoothly at 1600 just as long I don't play games.

wrong thread and wrong forum my friend this is for s2
also, perhaps you should use setCPU to check some clock settings
I just tried infiltrator, and my device uses highest 1200mhz normally, so i guess it must be kernel/rom related. I'm running rr 2.6.1 with latest dorimanx 5.67 kernel. It might be something about neat rom that prevents your device from using max clock, since neat rom is very battery friendly, but i'm not sure... would be nice if someone using the same rom as you could try and confirm.

also it gets hot with long wifi downloads or 3g ie gps using aura so overclock may not be a good idea.

Overclocking doesn't mean that the CPU will get hotter as long as you aren't changing the voltage. If the CPU handle 1.4 Ghz on the standard voltage, it won't get warmer and also won't consume more battery.
Dual 1.4ghz wud b pretty sweet lol wat if we increased it to 1.6ghz n just increased the voltage a lil bit or is that a bad idea n p.s is it me or since Root my fone only reaches 3.5k on the quadrent ive deleted alot of samsung apps n my memory is usualy at around 250mb iv seen people score ova 4k in their s2,

Might be a good idea, might not work because the CPU might already be near it's maximum. It'll definitely be worth it if you want to push out amazing benchmark scores, though! Just might not be stable enough to use for a daily phone if overclocked heavily.

This is completely wrong. It is very well known that incresing the frequency increases the power consumption (also with same voltage). Just google if you don't believe me.

What a lot of bull**** dude.
Of course more speed on a processor will consume more power even if dont change the voltage.

Running stock 2.3.6 rooted, I'll be playing Galcon, Froad, Fruit Ninja, etc. it will randomly freeze for 4-7 seconds, sometimes even boot me back to the title menu.. Is anyone else experiencing this & is there a fix?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
I know EXACTLY what you're experiencing. I HATED when that used to happen to me...
A fix that I tried and currently still use, is to use CPU Master (or I guess any other app that let's you set your CPU speed and over/under clock)
I usually set it to min. 1000mhz and max. 1200mhz, and voila, problem solved
Tell me if it works for you!

that's still some pretty massive overclocking, running your CPU so high all the time will eventually eat up a lot of battery.
I think it's a problem with the phone's kernel not being very well optimized. Or.. maybe it's the developers who haven't optimized their games for dual cores, idk

LOL I'm aware that is really high. But don't worry, I almost always set it to min. 300mhz to a max of 800 mhz for average use. I only overclock for the rare occasion of games, which I have gotten a little tired of xD

had the same problem. for me i just thought about, why they are freezing. then i recognized that every time the razr's cpu changed it's speed, there's some freezing... freezing time ssems to be long or short, don't know exactly why this happens...
fruit ninja should be playable unfreezed with speeds like 800MHz or even 600MHz... tested only with 800...

This fixed the freezing in Fruit Ninja for me on Axiom AOKP b15 ICS Rom. Except I set MIN to 800 mhz.
I planned to overclock my phone by flashing a custom kernel, my main target is rage kernel it seems like everybody likes it.
But first, is it that hard to unlock a bootloader? Could someone give a simple instructions step by step how to unlock bl?
And to overclocked users out there, what is the stable MHz that you can set on boot? In my mind, 1.2ghz overclocked set on boot is enough is it stable?
Because I remember my old LG optimus one, I can go to from 600mhz to 800mhz and its stable to set on boot.
What about mini pro? What is the stable frequency have you set on boot?
The most important is, to the overclocked users, do you notice any improve speed in games or on any part of the phone? If it still feels the same, I don't see any point of flashing a custom kernel.
Thanks

nice.. thread title made like this is some kind of important notice or such
Bootloader unlocking is in my tutorial. Whether easy or not, depends on the person, we cannot say how hard will it be for you.
Isn't the 1 GHz CPU really slow, that you want to overclock? I use that frequency whole day: gaming, chatting, music etc - never had lag problems.

Yeah I found out that 1ghz are really slow lately especially for high quality games and that's why I want to overclock.
Thanks, will check out your tutorial later.
Btw, what is your stable frequency to be set on boot? I read others can put 1.4 GHz stable on boot
edit: just checked your tutorial and its awesome! never noticed it before
btw your #8 tutorial. "8. Enabling WiFi Dual Band and Burst Mode" can that fix my wifi problems?

There is no allways stable over clock. Every device has its own limits. Some Max out @ 1100 MHz stable and some could get 1400 MHz. Stock clocks are allways stable. Anything else is trial and error.

You can try 1.2gh or 1.1ghz with 1225mv voltage setting coupled with SIO or deadline I/O setting. My current is 1ghz stock frequency with noop I/O. Smooth gaming and browsing on shadowgun, samurai vengence, temple run.
Downside if you oc your phone; the battery drain will be faster than the usual rate.

after all my lags ... tryd as u recommended to use cpu set and put my device on maximum cpu to try gaming...
the game play better in 20% but still have some lags (dead trigger)
and my cpu cant push to 1700mhz...
i did min 1700 and max 1700 on max proff... and cpu clock stick to 1600mhz...
maby i got failuer on cpu??
i did notice before that my battry draind very fast....
and battry and camera area get overheat very fast in games... !!overheat!!!! means that u almost cant move ur hands on the tuch cuz its make them stikky
and if i go to stteings>developer options >show cpu usege... i can see only 3 cores working and not 4.. as i shueld see...
(battrey save is off)
why im allwas stuck with the failur products ]=
]=
lol. You have me a nice little laugh.
DON'T put your phone at min 1700MHz. You will basically fry out the phone.
Also, why would you be going passed 1700MHz? The phone has a 1.7GHz processor. 1.7GHz = 1700MHz.
IF you want to go passed 1700MHz, you have to wait for a custom kernel that supports overclocking. Until then, you will not go passed the factory speed of 1700MHz.
MAKE SURE TO SET THE MIN BACK TO IT WAS!!! anything over 434 is practically useless. It'll just drain your battery, overheat the phone and fry your phone out, especially when min and max is at 1700MHz!
Oh yeah. If you use SetCPU, you have to choose "Set on Boot". But make sure you give it the right settings or your phone will bootloop.
the point is that i dont try to pass the 1700... but i cant reach him..... cant pass the 1600.... im not try to oc it...
its gets overheat with or without the cpuset ... and was like this from the moment i did unbox the phone...same as for the lags... (eaven in homescreen)
the battrey drain out eaven on low usege games... games that i did play on my iphone 3gs for 4-5 houers in and still had 30% left now drain my battry in 2-3 houers...
so much issues with stock normal phone somthing maby worng here dont u think?
and i bet for the hadware ... and not the software
for gaming first try the geming boost app (use search and you'll find it) this should fix most of your problems.
and further: don't set your CPU at constant maximum, this will eat your battery for breakfast.
keep the min/max values stock and if you still have lags in gaming you could try other governors with this app. but as i said... first try the gaming boost app, that really should do the trick
So you are saying your phone wont run at 1600mhz. How are you testing this? please explain in detail what software you are using and what test etc. I agree with the gaming booster app for gaming issue but it seems you are having greater issues. a 1700mhz phone should run at 1600mhz. We'll help you figure it out just need a little more info.

tested using cpuset... if i try to push it to 1700 he dosnt pass the 1600mhz just capped there....
100mhz diffrent is huge!!! not beacuse of the numbers... just beacuse its pointed about heavy issue... with electric or volt's failur or maby eaven failur cpu product
cpusets gets me 15% better gaming but still lag and somthims shatter
with game boost
almost the same ... a little bit smoother... but still dead trigger lag alot... and after 10min of gameplay its getting hot and the fps hard drop almost to slowmotion ...
shadowgun working good ...
gta 3 1.3 tegra moded work so bad and laggy still
dead trigger still lags
beach buggy blitz lags too (alot after 10min of gameplay)

Overclocking the CPU to improve gameplay is pretty much irrelevant unless you just want to keep your hands warm. If you want better frame rates you should overclock the GPU but even still the you shouldn't expect huge results as unfortunately the mali 400mp4 is getting a little old these days and at the stock gpu freq it just isn't powerful enough, but overclocking to 530 or 600mhz does make the game feel more responsive at the expense of the usual trade off with overclocking such as heat and battery life.
