has anyone been able to overclock the CPU for the galaxy S past 1GHz??? Im sold when i found out that touchwiz can be replaced w/ ADW Launcher so i plan on gettin this phone next month.

wouldnt recomment it.. when we tried even just setting the cpu mode to on demand instead of conservative.. which doesnt even up the cpu.. search for the thread about it on here.

Don´t think is such a problem if long as you don´t heat it up.

Its easy to overclock this phone, I'm running 1.2 ghz right now with a custom rom, its a great phone and if you want to game its unbeatable in performance compared to other smart phones.

Why resurrect a question that was asked nearly 10 months ago and due to advances is not really even relevant anymore?

I have run my phone using the CM7 and Miui roms at 1.3 ghz using the bilboa or zacharius kernels and xans voltage control app (which also allows you to undervolt) with absolutely no problems. Admittedly the phone will get hot if try and play dungeon defenders whilst you are charging so don't!

what is the best setting for Droid Overclock

There are different settings, Ondemand, Performance, etc. What should it be set to to get best performance and does the Set to Boot box be check marked off?

You mean XOOM overclock, right?

interactive is more responsive and use a Tad more resources than ondemand. For the XOOM being dual core interactive is fine. On demand requires a signal to increase speed whereas interactive just does it. I wouldn't set at boot until you know your settings are perfect. Set at boot sets the speed at boot rather than having to go in and raise or adjust speeds.

1.5 ghz and interactive work wonders for me.

Lol I'm probably the only one but I love performance/start on boot. My batt still lasts days and I never have to worry about touching a thing.

U leave it in performance at all times and u still have battery life for days? That's amazing.

Bad Battery Life, how to make it better?

Sorry for like, my 3rd thread in a few days.
Basically, I use my INC S for a lot of stuff, Music etc. and it barely gets me through the day.
How can I use apps like Set CPU, Oc/uv beater and such to gain better battery life, and what are the Exact settings for them?
Also, is there anything else that can help with battery?

Well the first thing you could do would be to go to cm7 and flash the tiamat kernel for better battery life.

I'd say find out what's eating the battery...I'm using my Inc S frequently (at least e-mails and browsing every hour) and I get at least 2 days out of 1 charge.
Try disabling any live wallpapers, any widgets, any applications running in the background (like yahoo messenger, facebook, msn, etc) and don't use any task killer/juice defender...
When checking the battery usage, I see the phone going in deep sleep regularly (which is essential for good battery life) and I'm loosing about 6-7% over the night, with BT, Wifi always on and email with push.
Ohh and I'm on the latest stock Optus Australia Rom, Hboot 1.16.000.

I think it's just general use. Using the browser a bit, I don't have much things updating in the background and such.
@incrediblealex I got a HTC For sense, I don't want to go to CM7 without sense
I'll go cynaogeon when ICS Come's out probably

Do this and also flash Nikhils trinity sensationXL ROM, found in the development section. Just brought out an updated version and its sense 3.5 so, if u like sense which I do, u won't look back. I have posted my exact settings using ov/uv beater somewhere in this thread. Smootharse and smartarse are great governors. Increased my battery no end!

There is no Smoothass setting when I install it.
Is there no simple settings I can use? or what are the exact settings for it?

U using ov/uv beater2 v1.7 yes? To be honest settings are personal preference, but what works for me is wake min 230400 wake max 1228800, sleep min 230400 sleep max 691200. Google it to find out more about CPU settings.

Well mine has finally made it through the day without a charge!! Thanks to the Incredible 2 extended battery (fits the S perfectly and I'm sure the signal and wifi have got stronger), and still 30% left. Finally I've got a phone that I'm not scared to use without being near a socket......

Are you saying you are using a battery for another phone? I what is this incredible 2 extended battery you speak of?
Sent from my Incredible S

I'm using the official HTC Incredible 2 extended battery and back, 2150mAh, in my S. I think it's only available in the US, it's on the HTC site. There are a few sites I found that sell it and ship internationally but I got it from eBay, seller best_deal_today. Took about a week to deliver to the UK.

I Need some tips to get better Battery Life!

So i just rooted my 4X the other day and just downloaded a few apps that required root and Ive noticed that my battery would drain alot faster!
My battery would decline about -%5 every 10 minutes. It used to only drop 3% every 10 minutes!
So if anyone has the same issue or knows any tips please help ):

Maybe under clock cpu
My phone set to 850mhz. Still good for daily usage.
Im not sure about battery life
But i think feel better battery life

I OC my n7 to 1.5 and 51mhz and when I play games like mc4 the CPU gets to 70 are higher is that bad or good please help me.

Yes, it is really bad
As long as you don't push it behind 80°C you should be fine. But as always with silicon, the cooler the better longivity.

K I put it at 1.5 and 204mhz is it still bad ?

The effects of heat are cumulative. Same thing for temperature cycling on material work-effects (e.g. fracture mechanics)
That means that a lower temperature for an extremely long time can be worse than a high temperature for a short time. There is no magic "you are safe below this temperature" assurance that can be handed out.
If you use your device hard, you will wear it out sooner - on average. (What an individual device will experience can not be predicted in advance.)
Arrhenius sez ~ exp(-E/kT)

So what is the best Overclock settings for the motley kernel and what is the safe zone for my CPU while gaming or browsing or YouTube?

Try it and find out.
What is this?? Read the kernel thread. Why would you install a kernel without knowing anything about it?

I read everything about it.... I just need some good oc settings so it won't hit 70 while gaming or is it normal to get that high while playing intensive games?

There is nothing magical about 70C.
For long-duration loads (say gaming for several hours straight), the CPU temperature rise will be a certain temperature rise above ambient for that load condition - so somebody gaming outdoors in the tropics will experience a higher CPU temp than someone indoors in air conditioning.
My tablet (stock rooted) idles at about 38-40C with the screen on in a room at 20C (68F). Call that a 20C rise above ambient for an "idle, screen-on" condition.
I have coded a threaded native program meant to saturate each CPU core as well as the memory bus (& tweaked it for max temperature rise); when running it simultaneously with a long-lived graphics benchmark, I have seen peak cpu temps of 85C. This corresponds to a 65C rise over ambient. This is a ridiculous load, though.
As mentioned elsewhere, the stock kernel has thermal protection mechanisms: a rate throttle at 95C and an emergency shutdown at 100C. With that (above) ridiculous load, I couldn't get there with 4 cores @ 1.2 GHz. It is possible that by running the same load for many hours continuously (or inside a hot car) it might hit that limit though.
But I don't think that the existence of an emergency shut-off means that below that temperature means "your device won't experience long-term degradation" - more likely that emergency shutdown is there to prevent somebody's defective tablet from burning down a house. Asus/Google are much more concerned about tort lawyers and product liability lawsuits than they are about the longevity of somebody's stupid $200 tablet... that has an invalidated warranty.
If you are gaming for an hour or so at a time, 70 or 75C is probably not going to cause an immediate hardware failure.
Your tablet is made out of a bunch of materials that are subject to a variety of failure mechanisms. Every one of those mechanisms proceed at a faster rate at higher temperatures. (Remember the old rule of thumb "reaction rates double for every 10C rise in temperature"?)
So, enjoy your tablet for gaming. But don't leave the performance governor enabled all the time: your device will spend more time over the course of its life in an idle condition than actually doing anything for you - there is no point in you cooking it slowly to death while it does nothing useful for you.
cheers

You're right but I get 70c in a matter of minutes I think I'm just gonna retire from oc and stick with the stock kernel

You can do it with M-kernel and trickster mod

I can't stress enough the importance of voltages to temps. On stock Trinity kernel I ran 1.6ghz at "default" voltages (can't remember how much, something like 1.2v) and hit temps of 95c.
I dropped it down to 1.125v and my temps went down to a max of 75c and usually much cooler.
Anyways, you'd be surprised just how much the voltage affects the temps.
Good luck guys!
