So, I've rooted my phone a couple weeks ago and I've been messing around with different roms and kernels and I thought the reason my phone was crashing at above 748mhz was because of the kernel or rom I had. I've been reading around though and I read that some phones simply can't OC stably like others. Does this mean if my phone crashes a ton at 806mhz and quite a bit at 768mhz that my phone simply can't OC that high? Are there methods to improve my phones OC stability?
Yes that means your phone can't handle that high clocked speeds. Just keep trying to find a stable clock speed. You will probably not find a big difference between 748 or 806.

There are no methods to improve OC stability (AFAIK ). Don't try to OC more than what ur phone can handle.
You can always try other tips from our forum to make ur phone more responsive
alright thanks for the input guess my phones processor was made in Ethiopia

try 729/480
should work without crashing
hey guys.
i have been wondering about this problem for a long time, and i could not find a solution to it. Thus, i wanted to ask you guys about it. The max i can overclock my phone to is 748. whenever i try to raise it to about 768 or 787, the phone will freeze and restart. is it due to the hardware limitations of my phone? or isit due to some software limitations?
Please help.
Just Hardware.
(I can overclock to 729 )
Hi. I'm still using Gingerbread stock rom 2.3.3 but with latest franco's kernel. My max. clock is 710Mhz. Anything above that, my phone will get freeze very often. Is there any recommendation on what should i set for my min. clock as well as the Governor?

I use the performance gov. and it's worked well.

I use stock 2.3.3 v20g + franco kernel and set max clock at 729Mhz, sometimes it freeze, but normally work fine (with any gov).
Each CPU is a little different. My OV is stable at 600 with smartassv2 but once I step it up to 729 the phone will randomly freeze or reboot.
Sometimes you get a good cpu that can be OCed a bit, and sometimes you get one that can go no further then stock. If you can OC then consider yourself lucky.
Whenever you try to increase the max frequency beyond a certain limit the CPU can not handle that and tells the kernel about that and kernel starts to Panic... (reboots or freeze)
For example My phone remains stable upto 768 MHz (usually i keep it at 748Mhz....)
but if i increase it to beyond 806 MHz it starts to panic...
Hardware
Has differences on hardware, already tried with 2 differents P500, one could overclock to 768 Mhz, the other can reach 800Mhz without freeze.

Since all the p500 have same hardware, they can be OC to same max frequency if they have same software config...
806! never freezes but she gets warm! can get over 40 celcius
EDIT
Mind you i only get about 16 hours of battery life LOL

where did u get ur facts?
are u smart or just effin noob?
yours preferred governors????
actually the best one is....
Dude keep it around 652 and interactive otherwise UR Battery will drain fast
depends on ur ROM+kernel combo.
on oxygen v1.1 i smoothly ran on 480-768 and battery lasted around 2 days with average use.
Now on Cm7 nightly, equally smooth at 729-480 and battery is awesome too..
Overclock
Ohhh!!! lucky guys.. my phone only accepts 672Mhz at max or anything above that value leads to rebooting or freezing.
Rom: Cyanogenmod 9 (Android 4.0.3)[BETA4]
Kernal: Franco Kernal - 4
OC: 480/672 Max
I get 748MHz completely stable when pushing "performance" governor with franco #4.
But irrespective, this is not about bragging...one would see LITTLE real life difference (save for frying the CPU faster) going above 672MHz. Don't just look at synthetic benchmarks...feel your phone.
Oh...and it was mentioned multiple times that 600->806MHz uses the same voltage hence the same power consumption for Sidestep CPUs.
I am running max CPU @ 729 and it has been running smooth for days with no freeze/reboots, I also noticed having the Governer on Performance has helped my battery life and such, i havent noticed the phone getting any warmer whatsoever so no problems with heat, Also I am using a LG-P504 Optimus One which Ive heard is the final release for this phone, so maybe its more stable than the pervious versions.
My p500 can handle 768 max. With some kernels 787mhz. But i am running 245-710 with miui v4: lol:

Yea mine can handle that too but it drains my battery faster I've noticed. So now I run Max @ around 720 which seems quite stable!! Only time I use the nitrous feature also is with playing more top end games which I otherwise wouldn't be able to play without really low fps.

Im using cyanogenmod nightly 7.2.0 build 34 on 748 mhz with any governer and it's working very well.OC also depends on ROM's.each ROM has different capabilities to OC...
Hello, I'm have a GT-P7510 running Task's ICS, kernel 3.1.10 (stock one i think, no other kernels have been flashed)
I was playing Mass Effect Infiltrator (yes, we can play it even though Play store says it isnt compatible) and find that it lags like hell at the final boss (runs smoothly before that though). I also install the Mass Effect live wallpaper and find that it kinda laggy. In addition to some minor lags with TW, I decided to OC it. I'm a noob and I think I might wanna find some info about this issue first before frying or bricking my tab.
So, can I OC it with this kernel? If not, what other kernel can I flash? If so, is there a free app to OC? How can I set the specs with that app (for best experience)? I find myself confused when I hear about "undervoltage" somewhere. Can it help me save my battery? The battery in sleep mode is kinda good though, 0-1% loss when left overnight.
And final question, does OC-ing eat up my battery???
Can you OC with what kernel? You didn't mention the kernel you flashed to overclock.
Clock speed can be changed with Antutu CPU Master.
Overclocking will "eat" your battery if you go high. 1200 or 1400 Mhz should be fine.
I didn't flash any kernel. The 3.1.10 kernel came with the rom.

You have to flash a custom kernel to overclock. Check the development section.
from what i read, there are yoda and A1, which one is better, and more stable? oh and do you know what keyboard out there is best? SwiftKey is good but auto correct is so damn annoying.
Hi guys. Im new and i need help. I game a lot on my gs3 and usually overclock my device. One thing i noticed is that when i overclock to 1.6mhz to 1.7mhz, it would stay there for like 5 minutes, but then the device gets slow and when i check the frequency it be on 1.0 mhz. I'm using a gs3 i9300 tried both setcpu and no frills. Im on latest siyah kernel running stock samsung rom. Thank you very much. (did i do this post right, is this the right section?)
Is there any app available that can overclock this device. Thanks

You can't overclock a phone through an app, but if the phone has a custom kernel that was designed especially for that app, then yes, you may overclock your device but unfortunately our device hasn't the support of any overclock apps such as Tegrak(Which is not only for Tegra) and Franko's Kernel, besides we barely got a custom kernel that is not good, so for the best performance i suggest you to use the stock rom as it's the most stable and it offers the best performance. Cheers !
Thanks for the reply. I was just kinda wondering since this phone already has a nice battery life, it would be cool if we can add performance by sacrificng some of its battery life
