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!

Help overclocking

Can someone please help me figure out the best settings for set CPU I just rooted my friends d1 last night and installed the miui Rom and he loves it but I have a hero and I'm not sure what the best settings are for set CPU

I have a d1 and I'm OCd to 1.2gHzand my battery lasts the better part of a day with plenty of texting, phone calls, internet and gameboid. It is a lil unstable when too many apps are running in the background however. Btw I just noticed you said you had a hero. If so, you might wanna post your question in the HTC hero forum. Just a heads up for ya.

the question was about a droid not a hero
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

My droid runs good at 250 min and 700-1000 max. If it gets hot, which it likes to, I have setcpu set to scale it back to 600.

I'm using a P3 kernel, 125-1000. I have min at 125 and max at 900, interactive. Battery life is great, heat is great and runs great. (lot of greats, but that is Miui).

Battery Use

I'm running the CM7 7.0.2. stable version and the battery life is just awful. I don't know if it's something I am doing wrong or what, but it drains fast and takes a while to charge. When I look at battery use on there it says that display is the most, followed by cellular standby. If someone can help that would be great. Thanks!

its like that for everyone.. they are curently working on the problem and have found the problem.. it wont be much longer till its fixed.

Ok great news. Thanks for the info!

Your not using set CPU are you that killed me then I researched ( looked at CM7 thread)

No I'm sure not. What settings do I need to keep in Set CPU?

I am not using SetCPU but I am OC in the CM settings menu and also see bad battery life but I expected not so great battery life. I think Set CPU is really bad in a CM7 rom.

agreed that's the only big downside to cm7. I think bat life is half is stock 2.2

Youre not supposed to use setcpu with cm7

Low battery life

Hello,
Since I bought my cell (about 1 year ago) I've been experiencing low battery life. I've used different roms, tried about almost everything to decrease battery consumption (2g, no wi-fi, etc) but it still lasts about max 8h (moderate usage). While using continously it lasts max 2-3h. So is this normal, what could I possibly do about it or should I just buy a new battery?
Currently running Nova Hd RC 21-39 with Supernova pre RC-3 kernel.

No that's no where near normal. Could you get a screen shot the battery usage ?

Not sure if you ment those stats, just tell me if it are not the right stats.
Translation:
Signal mobile network
Wi-fi
Turned on
Screen on
Charging

Other stats are:
Screen - 92% (on automatic though) Wi-fi - 7%
Mobile stand-by - 3%
Yes, it makes 102% kinda weird ^^

don't sorry about screen percentage, its heaps inaccurate.
Could you install system panel from the market and tell me what the cpu's are doing on idle?

Nothing really special, it varies tho sometimes it goes to max instantly and drops back within 2s

same issue here..
running nova hd RC22-41..

I'm pretty sure the battery if screwed. You can pick one up off eBay for a steal.

Your cpu is at 50% all the time, how is that nothing special?
Install os monitor and check whats using the cpu.

Looked at OS monitor and only thing that consumed cpu is android system (5%) and system (2%)
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA

I'm running CM7.2 RC1
Worked fine for a while and now th phone looses 10% per hour (idle). Checked OS monitor and System panel but there is nothing eating CPU or something that shouldn't run.
Only thing that changed between the two phone states (fine / annoying as hell) is some experimenting with GetRIL. So I re-installed the RIL (v20l) that worked fine before but it didn't help.
Also I have two batteries. The original LG and the Andida, both give crappy results. Think I'm going to try to go back to the stock ROM, see if it helps.

i just did that. having two batteries will probably confuse the calibration unless u calibrated them the same way. either way, from what im guessing, not fully discharging the batt will mess the readings as 1 constant battery ?

According to my earlier measurements the Andida is also about 1500 mAh in real life. So it shouldn't differ much. From what I read clearing the battery stats doesn't do much, said some Google developer. I'm back to v20r now and it looks much better.
40% in 7 hours, before it was 10% per hour idle.
Today it was even better, ~30% in 8 hours. This looks more like I was used to.

My best was 2d and a couple of hours, i don't have a screenshot to proove this but i can say that i talked around 2 hours on it, played around 1-2 hours of games, some WiFi but around 30 minutes total, some Mobile Data around 30 minutes in 2 days.
I was using Incredibly Cool Sense v3, LTX Kernel 0.5, GB Radio.
Hope this helps

Used it a little bit here and there for fb, yt and a lil gaming

That is relevant. How many apps do you have, wich rom, task killer, good reception, 3G or GSM etc.
Every phone is different. I can hit the bottom after 5-6 hrs and if i don't use it to much i get 3d 12 hrs or somethin.
But normal i got 1d and couple hrs which is fine with me.

6 hours with 3g on permenentally

I think you can, but with some drawbacks, you can put your processor at 800Mhz, and it you use it only for Internet Navigation it should get you at least 2 hours bonus. It can be done using my kernel and SetCPU or Antutu CPU Master Free. I managed to get 5 Hours of continuous Gaming! To a total of 8 hours of activity, put it to charge at 15%.
Games tested using 800Mhz and working like charm: X-Runner, Rail Rush, Plague Inc, Slice Ice.

In that case it can. But we talked about stock rom without any changes.

i dont understands you guyes, on my sensation xl, 3g is also permanently on, and in one day i listen to music around 2 hours and surfing internet and xda around 2 hours, also sync with mail every 30 minutes but in the most off the roms from here i had tryed out the battery is always be around 25 to 30 % after a whole day with that use.

My battery life is crap
I have fshami's Miui xl rom with Vertigo's kernel, screen brightness very low, 3g always on (fastest one), gb radio and I got about 8hours in light use and 5-6 hours in heavy use.

With heavy usage i get 5-6hrs with 100% brightness on stock ICS.

hmmm I got Miui XL with LTX kernel, slightly overclocked to 1,6Ghz. HSDPA always on.
Phone runs between 10 hours and 2 days dependent on use.
With heavy use it runs atleast between 10 and 12 hours.
I guess thats pretty good
EDIT: oh and brightness is on auto

Yes it is, I have working on a cm9 build and that's very good to battery and still very fast. I think when we get a stable cm9 our phones will be so much faster. And the cm9 I have tried is even without any tweaks or mods at all lex is build a cm9 from source and he will get it working. The cm9 I have working on needs some stuff in kernel before the rest will work, therefore lex building from source , it is faster than keep fixing a ported cm9 build

My fully charged battery lasts for 12 to 14 hours. I do texting, use WiFi and about 1 hour of calls everyday.
Is there any way to make it better apart from installing taskkiller etc etc?

Never use task killer. It will make your battery life worse then ever. That batt life is good that you have. And frankly what can you want more from a 1600mAh battery anyway.....

I am totally agree. When killing system apps and user installed apps må ny of them just restart and using ofte more ram because they are not a cached prosess anymore.
Correct me if i am wrong only thing you can try is another rom that is better tweaked to battery, or simply underclock the prossesor can often give better battery but slower phone
