overclock doubts? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

isnt it dangerous for the phone even if it is only at 748Mhz? is there really a big difference?

Not really too big. But it will somehow reduce your phone's life.

just as I suspected. In what way will it be reduced?

Set it at 633 at most for usual use, only set it high when playing games.

IMO You will get faster new phone than it will damage due to overclocking. For how long You would like to use it? For one year, maybe two?

Lol... the phone still can be used in Airplane mode playing games and listening music in the future!!
Or I can give it to my little sister!

Does OC just give better performance in games? nothing else?

Hows everyones phones?

So, Im planning on buying this phone, But, Is it a good phone, I heard this phone beats the One X in benchmarks, But, Is it laggy? Hows the battery?
It's great!
No lag and the battery is like other smartphones I think.
There's a problem with autofocus when recording in stock camera-app. Can use another.

Hey there,
I bought the P880 based upon the following reasons:
Near Retina screen
5th low power core
Removable battery
Looks like SGS2 and don't like the girly pebble looking blue SGS3
What I have found after owning it for 3 weeks:
Battery life is great, last full 24 hers on a single charge, with the exception of 1 day this week where power amp was running in the background and I didn't notice, it wiped my battery out in 3 hours - always carry a charger if your daft like me.
Its crashed twice, due to me being a fool and pushing it too hard - its just a phone after all.
Its very thin which is both good and bad, good for style, bad if you sit on it
No lag between screens and using apps - I play a lot of heavy games apps and they all run smooth as silk
The screen definition is superb - crisp, clear and always bright
LG UI3 is OK, not as refined as Samsung, but I like the fact that they don't pre-load as many applications as Samsung
All round a great buy, very happy, looks great and performs better
Hi,
Replying late. But yes today I took a benchmark test. Restarted my phone and first thing I ran the Quadrant. Was happy to see the results.

My phone works great...and battery is good and very good if you underclock cpu to 1.2ghz. even after underclocking cpu it is very smooth and no visible unplayable lags even with high end HD games.
Also with recent upgrades camera auto focus work fine if you dont believe check photos taken by my phone in best pics thread...
Compared to HTC OneX LG 4X have extra 64gb sd card option (so 16gb internal + 64gb sdcard) and battery upgrade option which is not possible in htc.. rest of the hardware is same GPU,CPU,RAM,..etc.

My phone works great,no issues at all. Just few min ago,rooted it
Only thing bothering me is the Camera both Pic Quality & 1080p video....Damn, on low light it just terrible !!!
i'll try the MODDed Camera app and see any improvement can be made.
Overall I'm satisfied !!!

Usually this happen when the battery isn't original.

it could happen with any battery if quality is not good or diminished. I think so at least Check your battery, does it look out of shape?
You could try a friends battery, or an alternative rom could also be another issue.
You can also experiment with the power saving features to turn them of.
Uninstall if any, power saving apps/ screenfilter apps.

Doesn't the warranty on batteries last for 12 months ? Why not get Samsung to replace it if it fails withing that time frame.
Then again, For the price of one, Is it worth all the aggro of sending it to Samsung, Waiting, Waiting some more, Then having it sent back ?
They do go pretty cheap online, And the Anker 5000mah are worth considering (except the size increase)

As they're classed as consumables I believe warranty on batteries is only 6 months, but I think it would be great if we could somehow make samsung aware of how short the battery life is on these, maybe some sort of petition.

(Q) Should I get this phone?

I need a new phone for work, could someone please tell me if this phone can keep up with:
Typing 3 words a second (quite a few phones can't keep up with my speed unfortunately.)
Slight drops, maybe from 4ft on a floor as hard as rubber tarmac (like in children's playgrounds)
Slight water resistance (a few drops on the screen)
My s2 survived for 4 months of this usage, along with about a year of normal usage.
Can this phone cope? Thank you ever so much !

In that case there are many more cheaper options available. However, if you want a phone of at least this caliber, I suggest you to get an SII again.

I wouldn't recommend. A friend of mine got one and received constant force closes in all application after flashing a new firmware. This is the second case I'm aware of.
Nowadays I would buy a Xperia with native CM10 support.
Recommend this over the S2

LG rep visit

My LG rep came by today to show us the new optimus G pro and during this he showed us the Antutu score from his demo device. 19000something. He asked if my phone could get that so I ran it. And during the test I said to him "it's on battery saver mode so I'm not sure how well it's going to compare considering it's the same cpu" after the test finished I showed him the score 23000+. He was kinda speachless and started rambling about something else then asked me to text him a screenshot of that score.
Lol just thought I would share this visit with you guys

Never been a fan of LG phones. Nice to read this. Makes me snicker!
Hyping over getting 19,000?
And the LG is clocked the same as the One?
So, would pulling 20,000, still higher than his phones score, while under clocked to 1.3ghz be a burn and a half or what? Lol
I'm not sure power saver mode will throttle the cpu if it's a custom kernel. I've checked a few times and it seems to stop working in that respect. Same with tasker. I can't control cpu speeds with tasker using a custom.

Run it inside a refrigerator that should definitely cool things down. Maybe buy one of those waterproof cases and throw the phone inside a cooler when not in use.

Root it and install a custom kernel. That helps a little. If you want more, then underclock/undervolt the CPU with a CPU tuning app.

Can you return it? I've seen about 107 on mine just playing silly grumpy bears game, but otherwise, it's typically less than 100 if I'm just using it normally. I'm still stock if that helps.
