Overclocking the Diamond

The way overclocking my original Touch helped with the lags due to the TouchFlo cube got me thinking: is it possible to overclock the Diamond beyond 528MHz? I heard before that Qualcomm processors were un-overclockable? Is this still valid? If not, how can I overclock my Diamond and what are the risks?

Blimey, how much hotter do we want the Diamond to get!
Methinks the battery isn't really up to it either...

It is hot but we need to acknowledge that it does lag sometimes.
A better battery is coming out in the near future (1350mAh) so I'm guessing we should consider overclocking.

I think the Processor is plenty fast enough . Its the operating system and a plugin that is causing the lag .
If you run the device without the 3d pluggin its very quick. Its just that the operating system is enhanced to the hardware but the pluggin is not as intergrated so will never run as fast

Count me in on anything that has the word:
Overclocking Like my insanely smoothly running Overclocked Vista Ultimate Machine!

I understand that if WM 6.1 runs smoothly on a 201MHz TI-OMAP processor, it will fly on a 528MHz processor. The point is to get TouchFlo3D to integrate that greatly with the remainder of the OS since it is the most appealing feature of the device. I think that upping the processor to say 650MHz would largely facilitate this.

no no no boys I think that more usefull will be underclock processor for better battery life when you didnt need so much performance...automated state will be the BEST!!! so try to think in this direction...

I'm waiting for this option as well

is it ppossible to oc the touch diamond? and what program do i need?
i would really like to oc it!!

Bunch of fools :/ Overclocking a phone that already has overheating issues AND battery life issues.

Am I correct in thinking that there are other devices with the same processor running at 400mhz, if so the speed must be scalable? I agree that the diamond is quick already but if the speed was scalable like battery status with the TI omap I had in my old Artemis, then the battery should last longer since usually it would be running underclocked.

i will buy external bat. is there any program for oc touch diamond

Valid point. I guess the software that will overclock the Diamond will also allow underclocking so the goal is the same.

An extended battery is on the way and I haven't encountered any overheating issues yet. You better check your facts before calling everyone fools.
Apparently there isn't any such software available given that nobody has made suggestions concerning the availabilty of such software yet.

1800 mAh battery

so no software for now?
do you think it will be avilable one day?

I hope so but I think the problem is that most Qualcomm processors have fast enough clocks so the incentive for developers to look into the problem isn't that great.
Actually, how much resources are required to develop such an application? We could start raising funds to that end.

are you joking I bought Diamond because of dims and weight...If I ll want thick basta*d I ll buy HTC touch Pro muhehe or better stay with my Kaiser

Double post

I could have sworn that the processor in the diamond is UNDERCLOCKED as standard, and does not even run at 528Mhz..
If true, probably a decision to conserve battery since 900mAH is bugger all.
Also, again if this is true, you could probably assume it could at least be clocked to 528Mhz which would speed it up, at least make a difference from what were all used to.
Even with TouchFLO3D disabled, I find the Diamond to be not as responsive as other (much older) WinMo devices, this just does not seem to make any sense. An underclocked CPU would explain a lot of things, IMO.
The question is, how can we find out the truth?

with some software like cpu-z for pc.
are there programs for oc other htc products?

Overclocking the Diamond to 700mhz

just wondering if its possible?
528mhz stock..i know we dont really need the speed
but it would be nice to have the option

juz a friendly warning bro,overclocking is very dangerous.

very very risky on phones, i wouldn't recommend it at all!

also overclocking the cpu will likely just
help a tiny bit because of the other bottlenecks
in the system like ram and flash and io speeds
and overclocking will result in a flat batt pretty fast
suspect most speed inc people feel is purely placebo effect

I've overclockt my artemis and is a lot faster. I've used batterystatus. But i dont know if you can use this programme on a diamond.
Who will test it?

At the moment there exists no program to overclock the diamond.
So this discussion is useless.
TDO

There is a program though.
I don't know how efficient it is, because i'm not interested myself, since the Diamond already has an over-heating problem, I don't think it's wise to overclock it.
The program is called 'performance' and it is designed for Qualcom CPU, like the one Diamond is using.
Give it a try.
(I'm afraid there is only one frecuency avalaible, 660 mhz if i recall right, so, under 700)

The last discussion about "performance" has concluded with the conclusion that it's a fraud, or doesn't do anything at best.
about OC in general, I'm OC'ing everything I own that can be OC'ed. The performance differences are huge, and 99.99% of the time completely safe if you know what you're doing. KJAM OC'ed to 260mhz is one of the fastest devices out there, faster than TYTN, Kaiser or Diamond. The Athena OC'ed to 728mhz is exactly enough to notch up it's video and gaming performance so you can enjoy them. And of-course, my PC processor that came @1.8 Ghz and now running @2.8Ghz, gets quite a boost out of it.
Unfortunately, we probably can't OC the Diamond processor (at least not with any current software).

I think in the Diamond most of the cases CPU doesn't reach to 528Mhz anyway , I guess to save battery, I had b4 P3300 and tried to overclocking it, and saw how the battery becomes empty too fast..
So in the Diamond, specially with the poor battery no needs to overclocking it...

Droid Gone Wonky After 1.1ghz overclock

I just overclocked my droid using the tazkern 1.1 Besides being miserably slower than before when I boot up, It doesn't even give me the option to go up to 1.1 ghz. Any suggestions?

suggestion:
and don't take this wrongly in any way..
Stop overclocking so much!! It's a damn phone, not a gaming rig. That and also you really risk of damaging of your CPU and other internals...
My Milestone is running stock. It stays cool and is fast enough. This is after i tried some weeks running it on 800 Mhz. It gets too hot and that also during conversations.

I get where you're coming from but still, I was just getting a lil tired of the the thing lagging every time i opened the app drawer or market. I actually fiddled with it a little after I posted that and got it to run perfectly. And I think Im fixing to try out a 1.2ghz kernel just to see what happens. So far there's been no overheating or crashing.

ECC is kicking in and making your phone slower. Use a lower clock, your phone doesn't support it.

Actually its running quite smoothly so far. Ive been running it for around 30 mins now and its super fats, smooth, and appears stable. Ive tested it on youtube tho and its getting pretty warm.

Mines runs all day, every day at 1.2ghz. The quirks are not from the overclock. Thbey were always there.

Thats what Im on now. I think Im using the slayher 1.2ghz kernel.

Droid or Milestone?
If Droid, you're in the wrong forum. This is the Milestone one.

I have mine at 720mhz overclocked and it works fine,i dont have any heat problems,i always check the battery tempeture via SETCPU app,always is at 30C to 32C,not more than 32C!!!
I love it more tha my iphone

I think people need to learn the risks of overclocking.
You may say its stable and running fine and "just a little warm" but you are infact destroying your CPU.
If you touched your computer case and "it was a little warm" you would be worried.
Consistently hot systems aren't expected to last anywhere near as long a cooler systems. Thermal fatigue in silicon results in cracks in transistors, and transistor mounting failures, in particular. Of course, just one transistor failure on a complex system such as a motherboard or graphics card can result in the entire system failing. And a replacement board being an appropriate fix.

For computer CPUs, but you get the idea.

Oh dont worry. I turn my phone by the time it burstsinto flames. And btw i apologize but i did post this in the wrong forum. Oops.

droid doesnt equal milestone. development is different due to locked kernel / bootloader..
but saying that. i use 1.2ghz with 70 vsel, or 1ghz with 60 vsel.
its a little lower voltage, but i assume it saves battery.
might not be stable for you, but i've been running it for 8 days straight now..
i dont use a lower voltage cuz i heard it damages the cpu. i stay within safe tested voltages

milestone users have to rely on a kernel module to overclock.

overclocking damaging the phone? please.. the omap 3430 has the same CPU as the 3630
3630 is upclocked to 1.2ghz and is in the droid 2. i suggest you checking out T.I.'s website. our cpu is clearly capable of reaching these speeds without damage.
Besides. i've had my milestone ever since it came out. I've been overclocking it since it became an option and my phone has never died.
but saying all that. an inexperienced user playing with voltages can seriously damage their phones if they dont know what they're doing. too high or low of voltage or speed can result in a brick.

The OMAP 3430 is a 65nm chip while the 3630 is a 45nm chip. Newer smaller manufacturing processes = cooler chips. They are NOT the same chips by far.
Furthermore, you realize that many memory chips are made equally. Then the memory manufacturers go and test out different batches. The ones that clock higher can be stamped as higher clocking or faster timing memory. They may be made the same, but usually the better made batches go to the higher end parts. The same goes when Intel makes CPUs. The crappy CPUs with some problems become Celerons. It might've been a Core 2 Duo or i7 or whatever, but Intel goes and disables cores/cuts off memory if it was not a good batch.
You can't look at models and go "well that CPU can do it, why can't mine."
If people have knowledge of CPU overclocking here where you understand that people look for certain serials/batches of Core i7s for best overclockability. Even though to Intel they all meet i7 930 specifications, there's still separation within the i7 930 crowd. Certain batches are better. Maybe not good enough to be an i7 950, but still better than the worst i7 930.
The other question is: What is stability? How do YOU determine what is stable? apps not crashing? In the overclocking world we run Linpack tests for like 24 hours before calling computers stable. Just because you can boot into Windows or Android or play Angry Birds for 3 hours doesn't mean much. It doesn't mean you don't suffer from bugs from overclocking. It's hard to say unless you do a full stress test on your CPU.

The 3600 OMAP is clearly superior to the 3400 series, but I do think that the latter is more overclockable.
I've had no overheating issues at 900MHz, 56 vsel, don't feel the need for higher frequency.

Will, this is all starting to go over my head. I'll just sit in the corner n twiddle my thumbs.

Just think of the 3600 as a 2010 Intel i7 chip and the 3400 as last year's i7 CPU...same platform and architecture but smaller manufacturing process and (probably) a bit faster at the same clock speeds, with the same features.

I was just trying to get at the same idea
I might have been too exact in my words but this is what i meant
and something fyi is that the OC capability of both chips are "capped" at 1.2ghz ... its just dangerous and unstable after that.
heat wise ? I'm inclined to believe that heavy wifi / 3g usage provides a higher source of heat than our petty oc-ing. Our cpus are clearly capable of this. true you make a good point. smaller architecture = cooler and less power. but the heat is probably out of the question. i use setcpu to display my temp. it never goes past the rated temperature. in fact it always stays at around 35c
when using wifi/3g on the other hand.. no need to say. the fact that these chips have no thermal barrier between them and the fact that the heat is able to be felt on the surface on your phone... in such close proximity to the radio chips, the cpu is not going to be heated by oc but by these other factors.
its safe to say you should lower your 3g / wifi usage to reduce thermal stress on your phone
stability wise... I'm not the one to stress test or w.e for long periods of time, but the link i've attached to my previous post shows a lot of people who have.
maybe you should check that out. I'm just here to relay information.

I have mine overclocked to 800 and it stable and quicker than stock its not all cpu its the amount of free memory you have at any given time

here is another very interesting page. this time regarding the droid
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/20406-max-temp-while-overclocking-12.html
be aware that a lot of the temperatures are in fahrenheit.
highest temps of these guys average around 40-50 Celsius, way below the rated temp

Actually, mine has been running smooth this past week or so with no abnormal heat or crashes.

Is it safe to overclock Galaxy S to 1.2Ghz?

I already overclock and undervolt my Galaxy S running Darky 8.1 with SUpero Optimize Kernel 4_6_8. But I'm not sure that this clock frequency will be safe for my device.

Hi Luke.
First of all i wouldn't recommend it at all.
Why...???
First of all, this is an expensive mobile phone.
When we put custom ROM's inside we are always doing it with a risk to get our phones ''bricked'' or unresponsive.
For example,
i have OC my PC's proccessor and i did it on purpose, but when you OC it,
your proccessor's life-time is decreasing and the question is...how long will it work!
So it's the same thing for SGS, how long will it work and is your proccessor going to get fried up.
So for me now...i'll stick to the darky's custom rom and nothing else.

Its up to you. I have it OC. Firstly, Overclocking doesnt mean that the processor is going to run at 1.2Ghz all the time. On the contrary, you can govern the speed of your processor and it runs to 1.2Ghz only when it needs to. For example, after using Voltage tool, use SetCpu and there you can set the mode to conservative or on-demand. Go to Info tab and there you can see for how long certain frequency/CPU speed was used and you will see different values are used, not just 1.2Ghz.
As for the safety part, Putting a custom ROM, Rooting etc is already the way your phone is not supposed to be used, risking the life and warranty.
So, it depends how you look at it. I recommend it.

Essence is its up to you and your choice to take the risk involved .

theres a reason you can overclock a cpu alot more than stock, fans, coolants etc.
a computer chip needs to work whether its in the hottest climate and the coldest and thats why youve got scope to overclock the ass of the cpu if you got the fans , pipes, water blah blah blah
so the cpu overclock and the phone overclock are totaly different

So would you be so kind to explain us the differences between those two things...
From my point of view...it is the same thing, the CPU will not always work at full load, as darky once said there is no need for overclocking or dual-core cpu on mobile phones.
The problem is not in the hardware, it's inside the software.

K to the question.
It is relative "safe" if you know how to do it, but not much point of doing it.
I used to have it Overclocked but saw only the slightest difference.
I think you better off with what you are on mate.

if you say theres no difference then fine. ive just explained why you can overclock a pc cpu.
a mobile phone processor and its cooling system is different dont you think?
well if someone says dont overclock your pc cause theres no need, would you follow that instruction ?
regards
btw im not saying your better of overclocking or not, its up to the individual to research or read im just pointing out theres a big difference from pc cpu and phone cpu

It depends...on my primary usage of PC.
I'm a photographer, so i need lot of CPU and RAM power, but according to that i have adequate cooling system.
But my point is overclocking is always the same thing, raising your voltage and CPU speed. Mobile phone actually doesn't need OC, the usage of CPU is written inside the program, application, software...you name it.
I agree with you that cooling is different, but c'mon mate, do u really see that big difference.

I overclocked my SGS to 1.2GHz because of Dungeon Defenders. It was unplayable with many creatures and players. After OC, the difference is huge. No problems with overheating or freezing.

How to OC SGS on Darky's ROM 9.1 with SO Kernel?
Is there any tutorial? Anybody can explain me how to OC to 1.2Ghz?

You can use Galaxy tuner app from market

Overclocking always has risks, except on platforms designed to accommodate it. Don't overclock your phone if you rely on it for everyday use.

I have my phone at 1.3ghz for everyday use. No lagfix, its buttery smooth! I'll never go back.

I don't think its safe
Searching Google for other peoples opinion on this. I have over clocked at times and the difference is small unless you are looking at benchmarks.
I think what people don't realize is that each cpu has an average life span at its given clock speed. When you over clock i can say 100% for certain you are decreasing its life.
The decrease may be so small that the phone is going to be outdated before it dies or it could be great enough that one day in 3 months time your phone just dies and there is not really any way of knowing for sure.
So id say if you are going to over clock just be aware of that as a lot of people seam to think as long as you use profiles and don't let it get over a certain temp its doing no damage =P

strange. I have played DD1 & DD2, with standard 1GHz without any problems.

I'm on insanity cm with glitch kernel, @1.4Ghz for everyday use, very smooth, web pages load in a flash, the time it spends at that frequency is tiny, if I was gaming a guide amount I would probably go down to 1.2Ghz to be safe as it would probably warm up a bit, but I monitor everything carefully, time in state, temp, etc........to me it is worth it, but of course there is a risk, but my contract is 2 years, so phone only has to last that, and if it does fry, how are samsung going to know? They will just replace motherboard, and in any event I'm kind of old fashioned, I take responsibility for my mistakes! Do it and enjoy, or don't and forever wonder!

yeah i agree,i don c the sense of oc,if u c the current market there r phones wiv 1.5ghz,3d chips an all those high fiv hardware.even a 2ghz dual-core is abt to come.the company has given sgs 1ghz ,but neva said its cool to oc it...i had tried oc once but frankly i dint notice any diff..but its as per personnel wish ,if u wanna oc then its right for u....

Its totally safe as long as you don't be ridiculous about it....I.e most people make kernels capable of oc to 1.7ghz but that's just stupid because you'll fry your processor, I'd say Max....1.5ghz.....oh and btw it eats your battery so I suppose theirs good and bad sides to it

will it over heat the phone / burn the GPU/CPU when playing games for example ?
i understand the battery life will be shorter. but what other disdvantages ?

You could dmg ur cpu. But Tegra is known to run 1.8Ghz stable. So with 1.4 you should be good.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

Oh!! Great 1.8Ghz but only 1.4Ghz is very drain my battery to much.

In the long run, your cpu might get affected but its shouldn't happen so soon.
That said, in my honest opinion, don't need to OC the chip.

The same OCing rules apply from the PC World. The same batch of chips have varying maximum OCing capabilities and thus different stabilities. Although you can stably run a chip at a higher clock, it will definitely shorten its life (Sometimes it could kill it in a year, sometimes beyond what we can measure.). Chip makers purposefully OC chips during tests to simulate the stress effects of using the chip over a long period of time (OCing that makes it seem like the chip is being used for months or years.). Nvidia sticks the Tegra at 1 GHz half because it's cheaper to do so (don't need to ensure higher clock rates which would mean a larger percentage of their chips won't last doing it.) and half because of marketing (At the time, no one has 1.2 GHz like we do now. From what I've seen, Tegra 2 can do 1.2 GHz easy.).
So what it comes down to is how long you plan on keeping the phone and how lucky you are. =)
Imo, in the interest of power savings (P = (V^2)/R), the gains of OCing having an exponentially worse effect on battery life.

imho theres currently no point in oc'ing the Tegra2 in Optimus at all.
Theres no real life benefit, only theoretical benefit when running benchmark apps for show off.
Theres not a single application or game out there today that require more processing power than what the Tegra delivers at 1ghz - and not a single one out there that will run any better or faster by oc'ing because the demand for processing power to run the application or game at its maximum capacity are allready met at 1ghz
Basically there are only negatives in terms of decreased battery and cpu life for nothing but a screenshot of a higher quadrant (or whatever) score
If at some time in the future you should run into a game that would not run smoothly unless the cpu are oc'ed then it would make sence to do so - but for now not.
The games available today either do run perfectly smooth at 1ghz or if they dont, then they dont because of poor programming or other factors and they would still run poorly even if the cpu are oc'ed

Actually there are real life benefits until you find a game which really lags when you run it. Meaning, you should leave it as it is until next year.
It may damage the CPU like what others say but since lower clocks are undervolt it might last as long as a non OC (Stock).
But it will kill the battery faster as you will have to charge more often due to the higher power draws.
