1200 mhz on galaxy s. Safe? - Vibrant General

Im wondering if anybody can attest to the stability and reliability as well as safety concerns with running a galaxy s phonew at 1200 mhz. I see a lot oflash kernels boasting this overclock. Thanks in advance

Flash and find out. If it doesn't freeze, your good. Some phones can't handle the oc. There's really no grey area, it will either be stable, or it won't. 1.2 is the standard, and is probably the safest. I'm at 1.48 and stable.

I'm mainly concerned for overheating as I've cooked a couple pc processors

Use setCPU and set up a temperature profile. I have mine set so when the phone hits 120 F, the processor scales down to stock clock speed and cools off.

What kernel your using?

Bullet[EDT]

U will not have any heat issues unless ur charging ur phone. When u charge a galaxy s phone ur gets very warm including in stock speeds

Definitely. The Infuse 4G has the same hummingbird chip overclocked to 1.2 ghz by default, so it should run with no issues. I can doing 1.3 ghz with no problem. Can't hit 1.4 though.
Sucks since my last phone could handle 1.6 ghz (through a custom 1.6 ghz DOW kernel, thanks Morific!).

It is safe but you lose battery life so that didn't work for me but it is safe and no overheating issues

Dunno what Kernel i used but it was by Morific, and was discontinued for being unstable, but my phone has been able to go up to 1.4, they tried a 1.6 but was far too unstable or something.

I think the Manhattan project messes with the environmental properties of the phone or something.

Yes, the Manhattan project was a dud since it never really overclocked the device. In fact it only slowed it down.
But I requested a 1.6 ghz version of the DOW kernel from Morific, just for fun. Surprisingly it worked well with my old device.

That depends on the phone a lot. I know lots of people who use 1200 but I did with Overstock and Tigers Blood and my phone would freeze. Also use set cpu for the same side to keep an eye on temp.

I've had no problems oc'in, but it really does depend on your chip. Been running mine at 1420 for a week, super stable never gone above 29c under load. IMO, just have to give it a shot and see how stable it is for you.

I'm using Bullet and have been getting great battery life even with it fully OC'd. About 20-25 hrs with moderate use.

Overclocking

Im running CM7 with HighLeakage Glitch kernel.
When I'm plugged in to the charger, and Overclocked to 1.4GHz, my phone gets very hot. Should I lower the volts or the frequency?
And overclocking, if done right, wont damage the hardware? Like if their was not alot of heat?
Could I run 1.4ghz without so much heat? I have undervolted it -50mV volts.
Is it the high leakage?
What should I do?
Any input would be appreciated.

My phone runs really hot when using I heart radio and charging it at the same time...i'm also clocked to 1.4...since you are running overclock anything is possible but Samsung put code in their latest release for 1200mhz so I would say that is safe...also high leakage does emit the most heat since it is the least efficient..try running medium and low with the same overclock...it may help with heat

2 hours of screen time there, that seems about normal to me. I'm lucky if I squeeze out 3 hours of screen time throughout the day.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
It depends entirely on what you are doing. 2 hours of screen time (even in ideal conditions) will most likely get through half of your battery.
What screen brightness settings do you use?
What were you doing with the "screen on"? (i.e. gaming, video etc).
What kernel do you use? Try the Faux 1.0 Ghz kernel (if not already) and consider undervolting.
I imagine with the combo of Faux's stock kernel, undervolting and perhaps reducing screen brightness will see 5ish hours of screen time.
It was on around 85% brightness due to being under direct sunlight.
My kernel is faux's 1.45 for CM
Over 80% of the time the clock was around 200, 400MHZ as stated by SetCPU, and both those clocks are undervolted by 50.
I was browsing the whole time.

Wow no wonder. Roaming for 2 hours with brightness nearly on full will definitely drain your battery.v Plus the 1.45 Ghz kernel overclocks the RAM and GPU also. You might want to get an anti glare screen-protector and flash the 1.3 Ghz kernel and use wifi.

Umm... wifi wasn't an option back there, and I don't use screen protectors. BUT I didn't know that bit of fact from faux's kernel, I'll put in the 1.3
BTW, Green power pro does help a ****load on keeping battery alive.
ps: anyway to control RAM and GPU clocks the way we do with SetCPU with the... well... cpu?

I don't believe setcpu functions correctly for dual core devices, I remember reading, albeit a while ago, setcpu only effects 1 core, leaving the second untamed.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Stock cm kernel has plenty of ass behind it, no ones playing bf3 on their handsets....yet...

Watchdog shows the suspend process and android media process taking up about 30% usage constantly. Signal is strong when I'm at work, constant 4-5 bars H+
Even after a full wipe and clean install of CM7 those same processes throw up alerts immediately, I will get al alert for the suspend process every few mins.
Background data off, no email syncing or anything. I'm lucky to get 3 hours screen on time or pandora streaming. I bought a new Motorola battery about a month ago and I don't use GPS or wifi.
Running stock, aura or homebase and the drain is gone... they aren't any good IMO tho.
For now I'm carrying a spare charger everywhere I go till the nexus prime is released.

Firstly, it's mainly just out of curiosity, I just want to see how far me device can go. Also, take my SGS2 for example, stock 1.2ghz, at the end of the day when I put it in to charge at about 9pm, I am left with about 20%+ battery. In my opinion that is useless battery life, as it is not enough to get through the next day, so it is just being wasted. So to overclock to 1.4 or 1.5ghz on my s2 to increase speed and battery life isn't an issue at all, why shouldn't I gain the extra speed? Same will hopefully apply to the SGS3
I can easily get to 1.6ghz at 1375mV and it's rock stable, but I do notice a battery drain when that high. It's all about personal balance between performance, heat generated by OC'ing and battery, for me 1.5ghz is the sweet spot for all three. Also I do heavily under-volt both cpu & gpu. My GPU isn't overclocked as their isn't a game that taxes it at stock, but it's nice knowing I can OC the GPU perfectly stably & safely to 400mhz from 267mhz and get a sizable performance boost, if I ever need it in the future.

I run trinity kernel on my Gnex and N7 and on my N7 I keep it stock speeds because I've seen no reason to realistically OC it. Most of the improvements I see are from the kernel software changes over stock. You can OC to 1.6 safely but I'm not sure of the power usage difference but I'm pretty sure the loss in power isn't worth the gain from OCing.

I have mine at 1.6 just for the hell of it, I get a good 4 or 5 hours of continuous usage out of it.

For the benefit of the community, can you tell us any major changes at 1.6 GHz?
Is there anything noticeably faster?
Hi, I have a related question but can't post since I'm new.
Using the glazed rom which i like but it apparently has gpu overclock. I would like to know how to adjust that back to stock setting or at least see what it currently is. I found the CPU section but there is no gpu I can see.
Is there a tool I can use?

My thoughts exactly. I play some light games and web browse on my Nexus 7.
For those purposes, my Nexus 7 is already extremely fast, so I don't think I would be able to notice if it was over clocked.
But I guess it depends, maybe there's a big difference when running GPU heavy games.
I have OC mine upto 1640 MHz for bench marking alone for half and hour or probably more and it went fine although the tablet was getting warmer more than usual.

there is no such thing as a safe overclock. overclocking, by nature, carries some risk. that said, i havent seen anyone brick their device from overclocking.

Why do you feel the need to OC?
I go to 1.6 but use the Trinity App to go back to stock when OC not needed
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I have not over clocked the Nexus 7 yet but one way to test your devices max is to use setcpu. Make sure you do not have "set on boot" option selected. Then step up your cpu. If your cpu can not handle the over clock it will force restart. If you do not have the set at boot selected it will revert back to the last good state on restart.
Each device is different on what it can handle for over clock.

To be honest I doubt you'll notice much increase from oc the CPU since the CPU already is so powerful nothing pushes it to max really.
Only thing worth overclocking is GPU really. And at that, your not going to notice a difference unless your playing some intense games.
