wondering if the phone can get damaged if u changing cpu speed constantly by profiles? not overclocking thought.
No it won't

And if the speed goes down does it means that voltage goes down as well?
Since i have rooted my sg3 and instal custom room and got setcpu i have set some profiles but seems like my battery drain a way quicker then when it was unrooted. Any advise please

Try undervolting i undervolt at 50mv and set the governor to ondemand or pegasusq

You will need a kernel that supports Undervolting and then you can do it in SETCPU
i suggest Siyah's kernel. im OC'd to 1.6mhz and UV'd at -100mV. my phone is stable

No, only users can wreck a phone
Overclocking your S3 above 1800mhz will SURELY damage your hardware, the most stable and recommended clock speed when overclocked is 1600mhz,1800mhz and above are highly experimental.

1,8Ghz should be possible i guess. The Note2 has the same cpu and is standard clocked to 1,6 Ghz.

Not true, i`am using Voltage Control Extreme right now and set the max clockspeed to 1 Ghz on a stock kernel in ARHD 9.5.0 and saved these settings as init.d script at boot and it works, even after reboots it`s still 1 Ghz.

A friend of mine downloaded SetCPu. She did something and now the phone is just dead. No screen, no vibration. Heck it doesnt even go in recovery. Either the battery is totally dead or we have a very expensive paper weight here.

Maybe, she overclocked CPU too much for long time and burn out the CPU... in which case only solution is replace motherboard

SetCPU, System Tuner etc. You need to have a custom kernel in order to change cpu speeds. If you're not sure whether you have a custom one or not, try installing one of those apps and if you're able to change cpu settings, you're on a custom kernel. congratulations
thanks man...i am on a custom. I just want to know if im running at 1.5ghz like im supposed to, or does it not run at that all the time?

That depends on which governor you choose. I'm going to go ahead and guess you're on an Anthrax kernel. Each governor behaves differently, but only the performance governor locks your phone to the max speed you selected. I'd recommend intellianthrax or interactive, I personally use intellianthrax or lagfree. Lagfree is a really good one IF you don't overclock, but since you want to run at 1.5 ghz, I'd stay away from lagfree. If you use lagfree, your phone will rarely ever drop the clock speed down below 1 ghz when it doesn't need it.

Yes you are overclocked. 1.18 GHz is the stock CPU speed for our phones, so any number over 1.18 for the max frequency is overclocked

You are always using a governor, even if you don't have an app for it. The governor tells the phone how to use your CPU, basically. See where it says "ondemand" in that screenshot you posted? Well, ondemand is the governor you're using. If you click ondemand, there should be a drop down menu that opens up that gives you all the governor options available for the kernel you're using
thanks man

I like to use the virtuous overclock deamon, it is said to work better. But most roms have not implement it here.
tammyjustin, I assume you're using MeanROM since 486MHz-1512MHz / Ondemand governor are the default settings built into that ROM. I just started playing around with Anthrax kernels and MeanROM a few days ago.
A word of advice if you're going to be playing with overclocking... You need to be aware that you shouldn't use any overclocking tools like SetCPU with MeanROM unless you modify a system file first to disable the built-in clocking and voltage controls, or you can use only the built-in controls. I was getting strange instability with MeanROM before I realized what was going on with the internal clock management and SetCPU (which I have always used). Basically SetCPU and the internal clock controls in the ROM were both trying to manage the clockspeed and it was causing stability problems. Now I'm using only the internal settings and it is far more stable.
MeanRom ICS 2.4
Hey. I have been using meanRom for a while now, and the newest version (MeanROM ICS v2.4) is eating my battery too quickly. I was wondering if there was a way to disable dual cores all the time or reduce the processor speed to try and save some battery. I have never attempted to change max speed or change the number of cores being used before so i really don't know where to start.
I saw in inbREDed 5.2.5 they have a "Core control in quicksettings, change to dual/single core on the fly". Is that available to use in MeanROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that is correct. but I text a lot and don't need dual core while sending texts. I have to charge my phone twice a day right now. =\
I was hoping I could on the fly turn on / off dual cores or change the CPU speed.
With previous versions of MeanROM I only had to charge my phone at night. I have thought about down grading, but it's pretty stable right now, i just want better battery life. So that is why I wanted to change the CPU settings.

Mikey did say something about his next version (which will be based on the Sprint OTA when it finally arrives) will dial back performance a little to extend battery life. Maybe this is what he has in mind.
Here's my 2 cents.... Overclocking is great for speed but it cripples battery life. I used to be obsessed with OC and quadrants, but then I realized I can't tell a difference from 1.2 GHz to 1.8 GHz. OC can also make your phone unstable. Honestly you probably wouldn't need to over clock if you don't know much about it. So I wouldnt spend too much time worrying about it
Do what you want though cause that's just my opinion

It's normal. If you're on the faux's intellidemand governor, it changes the frequency based on the load you have on the phone. It does this to save the battery. I highly recommend you to leave it as is, because if you lock it at a high frequency when the phone is not being used, it can drain the battery like crazy.

For starters don't use set cpu. It is not made for tegra, and only overclocks the active core(s). It leads to many instabilities. Secondly, 1.6ghz is the max clockspeed when running in quad core mode. 1.7ghz is only available when running on a single core.

I'm not sure if this actually increases battery life. Android uses as much CPU as it needs. Lowering the CPU may result more lag.
If you want to save battery, make sure your phone likes going into deep sleep .
