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.

[q] overclocking noob question

So i have been able to clock my captivate to a stable 1300 using suckerpunch #57. I'm wondering though how often do you think are phones actually use this frequency? i know when i'm running a psx emulator im sure that it probably has the cpu maxed out, which runs tekken 3 beautifully now at no lower then 48 fps, but i hope on not much else (would be nice to find an app that would put the cpu used clock speed on taskbar). Only reason i wonder is because of course phones don't have cooling systems like computers so i worry about cpu life.

i have never seen the cpu get hot in my phone. it gets unstable before any heat is detected, but my phone is not very overclockable, i can get 1.3 with much care to the uv settings. i wouldnt worry about heat until the 1.4 mark, even then you are probably fine. the newer qualcom chips have been set to run at 1.9ghz and dont burn up they are on the same size architecture as ours. these arm chips run at such low voltages that heat is not really a big problem. i dont think anyone on the board has killed a hummingbird from overclocking it.

I think your speaking pre-emptively about not burning up.
Just because the chip doesn't instantly melt doesn't mean your not risking electro migration.

this chip has a built in fail safe and can run as long as it can handle it automatically freezes or reboot your phone above its capable limit. If you want real time monitoring of your cpu clock speed/usage, ram usage and battery temp download Temp+CPU V2 widget from the market pretty good app. enjoy

Cyanogen8

Cyanogen 8? Is this next? Or is this in the works? Also is 2.3.5 next and would it be numbered a different version when Ice Cream comes out? Also is anything coming from the devs to overclock to 800 yet?

It's been done. So very very few phones are even stable at 800, and those that could generally performed worse in benches at 800 than at lower clocks. Many of these devices bootloop above 700.

Cyanogen 8 will not come out yet since will most likely be ice cream sandwich. I am not even sure is 2.3.5 will even come out and no the devs can not overclock this device to 800mhz because is 768 is the limit of the processor. Most people's phones do not even run that smoothly at 768 anyways. If somehow the dev found a way to overclock it to 800 (impossible btw but this is just a what if kind of statement) since the processor can not handle 800 it would just overheat the thing and cause crashes.

Also, on a side note, this should not be in the Development section. This should be in general or Q&A

This belongs in Q&A for future reference.
CM8 will be next, obviously. It will be based on Ice Cream Sandwich, so no, it won't be in development until ICS is released to AOSP so that the CM team can start using that code. 2.3.5 is an update coming out soon for the Nexus S 4G that fixes wifi and network speed, as well as adding more secure NFC for Google Wallet. It won't really affect us when it is merged into CM7. ICS is expected to be Android 4.0, but it could be 3.5 if Google decides.
There is a kernel that goes over 800Mhz, but anything over 768Mhz can be unstable on some phones. I tried it and there were no real performance gains, but battery life was a lot worse. Performance was actually worse at the highest CPU clock, in my experience. Just stick with 768Mhz. It's stable and chances are that you can get even better performance at a lower clock. I get better battery and performance at 633Mhz. It all depends on each unique phone.

I can confirm that the Godmode kernel was able to push some phones, such as mine, past 800Mhz. Although I had a faster processor speed, my battery would drain incredibly fast as well as overheat. Even though I never hit a bootloop with the kernel, the battery life, overheating, and loss of performance kept me away. Sacrificing too much for having a faster processor speed. Normally I overclock to about 729Mhz and have great battery life, speed and performance in conjunction with a min of 19Mhz and a smartass governor.

Yup, I'm at 806 - 19 ondemand while posting this and I can already feel it slowing down a little. 729 - 19 on demand is my best setup. I've tested a lot with trying higher setups than that but so far 729 seems to be the best for battery life and performance on every rom I've ever tried

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've noticed is that newer Hero's that were sold with Eclair as opposed to the original Donut, when I bought mine, are not able to reach those higher processor speeds past 691Mhz.
Sent from my Hero that never dies! ;D

i bought mine at radio shack back in september and it was still on 1.5 and ive never been able to get over 768mhz without it freezing and bootlooping its different with every hero.
i stay at 352-691 ondemand and thats plenty fast for me

Mine was running 1.5 also and it will run fine at 768 but battery life suffers so I usually run at 352/710 and battery and performance are good (depends on rom kernel)
Where can I get the godmode kernel ....

I actually got mine two weeks after it came out.....so i mean it could just be that this phone is dead now. I never had a refurb or anything. I got it wet once but it got repaired. I've only had this one the whole time. Do you think that is the issue?

Hey rubyknight,
just wondering why 19? Ive seen people do that but can the processor really ever do anything at 19? if so, doesnt it affect stuff like wake. Im trying it now just to see for myself. Ive been playing with a really high min value between 480 and 576 with the high at 748 and it actually doesnt only seems to affect battery life a little, both on the .29 and .35 kernels on jaybobs roms and on OMFGB.
Thanks

so update, ive run it at 19/768 on demand all day and after 11hrs 13 min its at 60% thats not bad for my phone! and there was almost no performance difference. Just the slightest UI lag... this is on jaybobs 7/8 with the .29 kernel, with background data off. And my regular usage which is not a lot. but for me its good. i wish I had tried it ages ago.

I believe that you can set the ramp up frequency and that may help with the lag. Setcpu, advanced settings, I think?

The stability is dependant on your hardware; some chips can only overclock to 1500Mhz and some can overclock all the way to 1900Mhz. It is not something the kernel has a say over.

Don't all of the notes have the same cpu? Why can some be overclocked and others not?

They all can be overclocked, but how much is a different thing altogether. It's quite simple really, not every chip manufactured is of equal quality; some chips have more imperfections. The more imperfections the less it can be overclocked before it becomes unstable. It's the same thing as on PCs, too.

Stable is it when you do nothing and use it in originally form. Overcklocking need more Power more power is less time you enjoj your note!

Generally these chips are made to tolerate a certain speed, and because of variability, the manufacturer drops the speed tolerance to ensure overall quality. Some will still be able to manage 1500, 1700, or even 1900 (although rarely, I'd say). Just about all of them tolerate 1400, so very few are defective at the stated tolerance. With 5 million, you will get a few, however.
This is one of those rare occasions when statistics have a benefit in the real world!

There are many out there that will let you overclock. Search the Android development forum.
Like most, I have flashed heaps of times, probably at least four or five times a week when I first got this wonderful Note, but in the last month or so have only been tempted to stray three or four times. Personally Franco 6 is best for me, because I favour battery life and stability rather than overclocking (1400MHz is not bad as a standard!!)
I would encourage you to try a few for a few days, as long as you backup often you should have a great experience!

Are all kernels capable of overclocking?
Is there one that overclocks the best?
How do you tell how high you can go?
Do you jusy keep overclocking until the NOte stops working?
If so, there must be a fine line.

Stock kernel isn't capable of overclocking.
One way to tell is to download things like SetCPU which detects the range of the clockspeed. Another way is to simply read the description of the kernel thread.
How high your phone can go is an individual thing. You need to overclock in slight increments (say 50mhz at a time) and run a stability test to see if the phone crashes or not.
You DO NOT pull the slider all the way to 1.9 ghz and "see" if anything happens. If you fry your CPU, do not come to us for help.
This is why I don't like overclocking, it's a waste of time to run the stability tests, etc.
In summary, you need to raise it a little bit, and run stability tests and repeat the process until your phone crashes. At that point, you'd know the last safe-stable clockspeed that your CPU can take.

What do you recommend for a good stability test?

I'm on franco.kernel v10 and OC to 1600 using Tegrak. Tegrak runs the stability tests automatically and reverts to stock 1400 if unstable or a reboot occurs.
I tried 1700 but Note rebooted after about 2 minutes. Booted right back up at 1400 with no problems. Re-set to 1600 and running smoothly.

Yes you can, depending on the kernel you use, oc your phone even up to 1.5 ghz.
Flash Glitch, MNICS, Devil or Semaphore Kernel for ICS roms
Do so with care as OCing WILL degrade your processor faster.

It depends a bit on your luck. Processors aren't all the same (variance in quality during manufacturing), the 1 ghz that is the default is considered a 'safe' level and every processor will be able to do that frequency. Usually though, there's a fair amount of buffer, so most processors can go beyond 1ghz to say 1.2 without any issue.
As the frequency increases, stability decreases. This means your phone will become more prone to crashing. Some people are lucky and can go very high (1.5, 1.7?), while others might start facing instability at 1.2. Won't know until you try. It's unlikely to cause permanent damage anyway, just change back to 1.0 if it's unstable
It probably does increase wear and tear of processor somewhat, but considering people will buy a new phone within 1-2 years, there's really no problem

Being electronics' worst enemy, heat can and will kill your phone. But that's only if it reaches those temperatures. Overclocking your phone naturally will increase heat from the processor. Check your phones temperature. If you're reaching 50C or over, you're getting too hot. The general rule of thumb is this: if it's uncomfortable to the touch, your phone is too hot.
Most phones should get to 1.2 GHz without a problem. Keep in mind that LiveOC is NOT THE SAME as adding another frequency step, which was the traditional way of overclocking. Some kernels do one, some do the other, and some do both. Adding an additional frequency step to get to 1.2 GHz should be capable by most if not all phones. LiveOCing to 1.2 GHz won't be nearly as compatible, as it overclocks the bus, GPU and CPU.
