[Q] HELP! confused CPU - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I resently had a huawei ascend p1 running ics, and it was atleast as fast as my galaxy s2 running jellybean. i have tried to overclock alittlebit with no big difference. and people say the phone might get hot and so on. The ascend p1 i had has original dualcore 1,5 ghz prossessor,and never went hot.Why cant the s2 run more 1,5 instead of 1,2 ghz without being hot or buggy? THANKS!

I read that some users oveclocked their SGS2 to 1,6 GHz.
But you need a kernel which supports such high oc and hope that your hardware is able to handle this CPU frquency too.
As I don't overclock my phone, you have to search a little bit on xda, SGS2 forum, original dev section for kernel and oc 1.6 GHz.
Good luck !

All devices are slightly different. Some might be able to be oc a lot, some can't be at all. All depends on the phone.
And why do you need to oc? 1.2 is enough to run smoothly for almost everything. Unless you are playing the newest games...

Have been using it at 1500ghz for a few days now,and the phone works smootly.. ive been running many tests like benchmark,browsermark and so on, and my phone even gets better result than the s3 when running at 1500ghz( witch i realy dont rely to). the batterylife is still as ****ty as before,so no big defference there. u ask why i want to overclock. i was hoping to get a faster phone by doing so,and i have a faster phone now. was just hoping it would bee a bigger difference. im running thunderbolt jellybean rom and overclocked at 1500 ghz, and works good and stable. just wounder if anybody knows if i should turn up the volts too, as i read some place thath higher ghz u also need higher volt. tried to turn up the volt but the phone froze. so ill be using it at standard volts and 1500ghz for now. works good dont think ill be changing this phone for a while,it works as god as any other phone out there.

I am pretty sure you can't get the SII processor overclocked to 1500 Ghz..

U can do so as long as the kernel supports OC(overclocking) or UV(undervolting) for sure

then u cant know to mutch i have clocked it as high as 1600ghz without heating or problems.. and if you cant do it then you will have to change your kernel. i use thunderbolt jellybean rom with dreamkernel and it works great. i have mine clocked at 1500ghz dayly use

I don't know much, but I do know enough to know that you can't have a stable overclock at 1600Ghz (Gigahertz)
But, I believe that 1600Mhz could be achieved as a stable overclock.

My cpu is running at 1500 mhz 1425-1500 mv and gpu at 520mhz 1300mv the heating issue acctually drops when at 1.5 ghz, my problem is there is no point of having my gpu so high when my cpu is not good enough

vibrant freezes please help

hi there
i am a noob i just brought vibrant previously using htc hero...
i tried to flash bionix and bionix fusion with the new 1.2 ghz oc...
phone works well except when i play games like asphalt, neocore my phone freezes then i have to remove the battery and insert again...
what could be the problem
i am using J12 RADIO....
PLEASE HELP ....
VIBRANT IS 100% AN IPHONE KILLER ... LOVE IT....
mine does the same thing not really sure why yet but if your using setcpu just put the speed at 1000 on both the proformance is unnoticable

Your phone might not play nice with that kernel. Try flashing core 1.0 instead and see if that helps.
Yes, not all phones are stable when overclocked. Use the stock kernel and you should be fine.

^^^ this, but I'm sure you knew that since it says so every where.
My phone runs great at 1.2Ghz with JAC's XMOD Voodoo kernel, but locks up constantly with Core, OCed or not. Try swapping kernels, but don't give up on the OC yet.
I'm having the same exact issue, mine will just lock up for no reason sometimes as well. I'm not sure what it is, I kind of feel like it's the rom. I had problems originally with fusion to begin with. Maybe I'm not doing a proper procedure to install it?
Is it because I'm wiping and going straight to fusion? Please anyone else are you having this issue, I'm getting frustrated and feel my phone is slightly useless like this. I HATE stock.
Edit: Setcpu doesn't let me set to 1000 with Core 1.2Ghz, I can only get 1000 if I use Core 1.0Ghz (obviously). Again though, same issue regardless.
Core is still in beta status and not all the bugs have been worked out yet. The issue the OP is having has been mentioned before in the Core thread in the Dev section and on the TeamWhiskey.com forums as well.
OP: To alleviate the freezing issue you're having, flash the 1.0GHz CoreV1 instead of the 1.2GHz CoreV1

[Q]How much max Ghz can be on X10? Overclock

I mean is this possible to overclock and undervolt stable our X10 with Snapdragon QSD8250 to....maybe 1.5Ghz? With Custom Kernel, or after fully unlock/crack bootloader? Please answer.
to 1.5ghz.....noway, its unstable as it is at 1.2ghz, so far the highest stable frequency is 1152 and mayb 1190.4ghz. the chipset we have cant really be highly overclockd without being really unstable and can damage the phone, i dnt think ny dev will even attempt to do this, even the desire which has same chipset isnt overclockd too much
Thx for answer dude, but one more - Desire have unlocked bootloader if I good hear, how much freq have Desires users?
BTW: I read long time ago that someone do 1.7 (??!!) Ghz for our X10, but it was very unstable, and thread disappear after ~20minutes. You know something more about it?

it doesnt matter if its got a unlocked bootloader or not the chipset itself is not highly clockable it is a hardware limitation, ive jus seen most of them in desire development page dnt go above 1.2ghz, no i didnt hear abt the 1.7ghz and it probably didnt happen, the phone probably wud be dead in 5 minutes

It disappeared because it was wrong.
It was due to an incorrect multiplier and was actually only running at 1152mhz
1228 is the highest anyone can reach without reboots. At this frequency there is a huge possibility of burning out your chip if you leave it there for long periods
supports the x10 Overclok and undevolt to (1113Mhz or 1228Mhz) spends the useful life of the cell
It is best to use stock kernel :S
to date non of the rom is actually stable.. with either OC or UV..

There have been tons of other stable combos
Just because you don't know what you're doing doesn't make it unstable

i disagree with that comment, i ran 2.1custom stock with a custom kernel running at 1.152Ghz undervolted for almost 3 months with no problems whatsoever

CM7 Quadr

Hello,
I've had the phone rooted and the new cm7 (bad***), it all runs great I just wonder how some people are getting 5k Quad score while I am at the same 3.2 as it was on stock. I do have the same Kernel and everything when rooting and flashing went so smooth. Is there something I am missing.......
Thanks in advance.

I did, than quadrant freezes while I'm running it. As in when I click submit score, it automatically goes back to the 1st 2d test and than force closes.
"sorry I left that out" :/
call me ignorant but do people STILL think that quadrant scores mean soemthing? why are people still comparing them???
Some people just want to stroke their epeen on the net.
And as to overclocking - not everyone will be able to overclock. There's a reason the device is only sold as 1.2 GHz - that's all it was tested to. Some might hit 1.4, some might hit 1.6, some might be right at the edge and only be able to do 1.2.
its not the quadrant score that matters. Its the idea of why it is different. All the devices have the same cpu have the same kernel and are rooted/flashed as stated in the forum (the same way). So why is mine doing so when clocked and running. I don't care what the score is. even 1200 score is enough for a phone. I didn't want to stroke anything. Its the matter of where the problem/case/scenario is coming from. As in, will it cause other problems and is it a problem at all. having had 5 android rooted/flashed devices I've never experienced it........... Why do people have to be ignorant and troll a forum is an issue I cant understand?

if you're asking why your quad score differs from other ppl's phone with the same setup, then you need to research more.
Not all phones are built the same. Just because they all have the same hardware and software, doesnt mean they'll all operate the same.

[Q] overclocking with jelly bean

i noticed on jelly bean i cant overclock past 1.2 ghz without it becoming unstable. i know its not my phone because on ics i ran it fine with no crashes at 1.53 ghz and on froyo i had 1.4 ghz. i was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?
thank you
Each processor, even though they are built the "same" each is different. My T959 will not overclock past 1100mhz without severe instability. I also could not undervolt like others Ive seen here.
If you can get that high well you may be one of the lucky ones that purchased one with a good processor. :cyclops:
It isn't that uncommon I imagine since you're running JB on a device that is really pushing past its limits just to run it.
I mean, as I've always said...our Devs are phenomenal, and the very fact that they have JB running on our vibrants, as
smoothly as they do, is incredible when you really think about it...but there are limitations. I say be happy with 1.2 ghz, since that is
more than enough for most anything you want out of your phone.

Yeah that's true it does run really smooth at 1.2 ghz with jelly bean. But i was just wondering why it causes instability past that on jelly bean. Usually i like to keep my phone at 1.4 ghz because i play lots of games. It doesnt really affect my battery life, i am using an 1800 mah battery, thats why i kept it at those speeds. Obviously now i keep it at 1.2 or it would lock up and freeze every 30 minutes and the higher i would go the faster it would lock up and freeze/reboot on jelly bean.

Yeah I guess I am one of those lucky ones! I'm able to undervolt about 75 to 100 mV each frequency. I don't know if that's really impressive or not but that's stable for me.:victory:

120% is perfectly stable on jelly bean for me. Any higher with jelly bean and i have problems lol.
Overclocking noob
Could someone point me in the right direction for overclocking/undervolting a Vibrant? Running CM 10.1 M3 but I don't know if the included kernel supports it and what specifically to look at.

crank it up.

now hat we're unlocked lets overclock and undervolt and see if we can get 10k quadrant and a week out of the battery..lol
no but seriously how much do you guys think we can turn this thing up (overclock) and it be stable? (like its really needed..i cant get it to lag now as it is) once we get a kernel that is

I was looking stuff up on that today. The highest I could find documented was 1900 on the cpu and 800 on the gpu.
For everyday usage, overclocking is useless, even for gaming. Undervolting can be beneficial, but from what I've seen, the latest processors get approximately the same battery life on stock voltage as they do undervolted.

I just like to play around with different kernels but the kernel I was using def made the device snappier and I had some killer benchmarks! But you are right though! Custom kernels on this device is not really necessary...
I plan on building a custom kernel then, hopefully tomorrow night or possibly Saturday. I do have some plans to improve it, but nothing related to the CPU or GPU going faster, just having other stuff operate better and getting rid of anything not needed.

That's better than me. I could run 1200 for weeks but at 1400 about every other day it would restart randomly.

HA. My TBolt stayed stable at 1200, but ANYTHING higher than that and it would crap out on me.
I could run my bolt stable at 1700 all day. Kept it at 14 for a month no issues. Stayed at 13 the rest of the time. Course at 17 it was like it was running on a watch battery with the amount of time it would last. Lol
Eh I ran 1.6Ghz on my Thunderbolt 24/7 and with the 2750mah battery it lasted me days.
On a phone like that there was a significant improvement to the end user that justified the overclock. Now on the Note 2 I'd expect there to be very few who would want an overclock at all. I am part of the very few however. I play a lot of emulators on my phone and for N64 and Playstation I need all the raw CPU power I can get. Yep, even on this beast of a phone I still get some lag and stuttering on those emulators. The reason being is the same as PC gaming. AMD thinks that by adding more and more cores to their processors they can win the performance arena. Unfortunately they are wrong. Intel has the right idea, 4 cores is plenty now let's improve the efficiency and performance of those specific cores.
Same goes for our phones. Quad core is the most I'd ever want in my computers, anymore is just a waste. Now let's get better architecture for the processor to maximize clock-for-clock performance. And overclocking those cores helps it in apps that don't support more than one or two cores, because the baseline performance for each core is boosted.
So yeah, can't wait for a 1.8Ghz kernel
