[Q] Overclocking to 1000Mhz - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! i was wondering if Xperia X8 E15i could be overclocked to 1000MHz because i heard from my brother (he had this phone and then i got it) and his not sure because its not possible anymore to do it anymore.
My brother had my xperia long time ago and he had 1000MHz then later when he gave it to me he unrooted it and make it to normal Xperia

864 mhz is max for msm7227 (or armv6...)
you cant go higher
and 864 is very unstabile:good:

OK but I use like this 600-800 MHz and I get no lags playing bike race but what is best?

High frequency-less CPU life
low frequency -long CPU life

@senci00: your brother is joking only with 1000MHz
@fotak-x: no, you can set higher frequencies than 864 with a modded frequency table. I made an experiment earlier and reach 921,6MHz, but:
-the phone was really unstable
-needed really cold environment (around zero celsius)
-to reach this frequency needed to extremely decrease all other frequency (axi and ahb bus), so the phone was slower
@Gogeta: basically the arm core can't produce enough heat to get physical damages due the overheating (the most critical part is the soldering what need around 280C temperature to damage, hard to reach it with 1-1,3 voltage and 100-200mA)

So we can overclock to higher value without any problem???
I mean it doesn't damages anything so we should increase value
see my app sig at your own risk :

Theoretically yes, you can set high frequencies with minimal risk. All arm cpu have extreme low power consumption (compared to the x86 cpus), the physical damage due the heat is minimal (but more than zero) The overclock ability of each 7x27 soc is different and depends on lot of thing (damages in the silicium structure, soldering quality between the core and the case, etc...). Some soc unstable on 700MHz, some working good on 800+ MHz. And the most x8 owner have "low quality" cpu, because under the manufacturing procedure all cpu tested, and the high quality cpus (what stable on 800-900MHz) marked and sold as 7x27T (turbo) with default 800MHz (this is normal, usually the manufacturers sold the damaged cpus with lower clock or disabled features, for example: you buy an i3 cpu into your desktop, but maybe the cpu manufactured as i5 with damaged core, and after disabling the damaged parts, sold as i3).

Did anyone go higher than 825MHz?

Title says all.idk if its even possible
Are you smart?
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
When I go higher than 748MHz, it causes bootloop.
I also think that overclocking is useless, well you get a bit higher Quadrant scores, but it also causes higher battery use, and it´s not so good for the CPU, I think.
And going higher than 825 MHz is, in my opinion, mad.
@xperianpro-dont troll,its just a question.
@codfreak-well,i personally dont use overclock because i need battery,and i dont use my phone for anything else beside wifi,facebook and taptalk.sometimes games but not much.for me normal frequency is from 710mhz to 787mhz.

Hi, how did you get this score ??! which ROM use ?
thanks
My phone can OC to 768 Mhz with no boot/restART
But when i test my phone @ 787 Mhz or higher, it's good at SetCPU application but when i'm going to home (LP) my phone reboot(??)
Luckily i got 768 because no many people can get that! haha
@Xperianpro/as-mario
Our processor might be able to go higher but the problem is the voltage. Each x8 has a slightly different voltage supplied to the processor so some can OC to 825, some can OC only to 748 etc. I can OC to 768. I heard that the LG GT540 can OC to 900 MHz.
--
Basically ppl can OC to 825 but it's kinda rare. Usually, most can OC to 748 only. It might be possible to OC to over 825 but it will be unstable for most people.
Our X8 Voltage is 3-4-5-6-7
if you wanna get higher frequencies you must overvolt and melt your Processor

Overclock

Is it safe to overclock to 1.4ghz using dark Knight's 3 ics
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
MAYBE!
Maybe. Depends on your phone and if you follow my instructions:
1. Understand overclocking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419274
If you don't want to read all that here's a summary:
It would be extremely rare/impossible to just overclock to 1.4Ghz without your phone locking up.
To to prevent your phone from locking up, you need to increase the voltage supplied to the CPU but you can't go too far or you might damage your CPU.
The CPU speed limits will be anywhere between 1300 and 1800 MHz (higher and lower exists but rare as well). Average is 1400 MHz. So chances are you can do it without your phone bursting into flames.
Overclocking the phone degrades the processor in the long run

Have you tried to increase voltages? My phone is miserable and can only clock up to 1300mhz with increased voltages (but not too much).

x8 cpu to 1Ghz

It is possible to set x8 cpu to 1000 Mhz? I have read that yes. So how?
NO WAY.......!
Impossible
This is impossible... well.. Without melting the CPU or burning your phone... to death...

This is because the X8 have a ArmV6 processor... which seems to have a max of 864mhz clock speed... and IDK people that can run at that clock...
ArmV7 can be overclocked to 1GHz thought...

The processor architecture is not related to its speed.
Just because it's an ARMv6 it doesn't mean its maximum speed is 8xx Mhz.. You can have ARMv6 chips running at 2Ghz if they were made to run at those speeds..
The one on our phones starts failing at 8xx Mhz, and that also depends on the silicon quality of the chip you got..
About ARMv7.. You have chips on the market running way above 1Ghz

yes, I've tried that by mistake ......I've got endless FC to the point that I cant use my phone... So I re flashed my my rom again....
That is way pushing more to what your device can do.
I suggest you wouldnt try if you still want your x8 alive.
Well, the hardware doesn't support it
Our phone is stable at 600 MHz
But support at least 825
There are limits,only a dual core phone could run that frequency without exploding....

army grade (or military grade) products are a tad different including material and producting quality. But most of them are easyli replaceable as well...
Or if you ment arm cpu-s, well that could be done. If you can add quality cooling, plus voltage, a bit different architecture (which is at producting) they can. There are x86 CPU-s that can run at 4-5 GHz overclocked when they are stable at 3 Ghz. But they are cooled quite heavily and not to mention overvolted.
Our CPU-s manufatcure and basic, the design and required materials are for 600Mhz (with engeneering offset of 1.2 maybe) If the material quality and the casing is good, they can be overclocked with the "default" options (such as heat transfer -cooling-, voltage and current).
I can belive that the cpu of our phone can reach 1 Ghz, but not in our phone and not in manufacturer default settings.

Yup.. With proper voltage and heat dissipation it would be possible.
To everyone saying that if you do an extreme overclock, the cpu will burn, get on fire, melt the pcb, explode.. Please stop watching scifi movies. If the frequency is too high, it will just freeze or not turn on at all.. No harm will be done. The only thing that can harm it is by giving it more voltage, but even that won't leave any physical marks.

I read thar xperia mini/pro/active/live/ray's cpu can be overclocked from 1ghz to 2ghz
I have a real proof that armv6 can go above 1ghz.I could do that on my previous phone,samsung galaxy 3.
Galaxy 3 has samsungs processor clocked on 667 mhz.and when I flashed my custom rom I was suprised when I could overclock it to 1400mhz.yes,I said 1.4 ghz.and I thought that ill have reboots,freezes,and that the phone wil overheat and such...but no.pure speed.temperature was around 28 degrees.
How much you can overclock is mostly in cpu company.and in our case,quallcom is one of the worst.it may could be overclocked to 1ghz,but it would need much hardware hacking.

Xperia TX hot issue

My Sony Xperia TX gets hot while playing games.It starts getting hot just after a gameplay of 5-10 minutes.
Is this normal.And is this providing any harm to my Sony Xperia TX ??? It gets hot from the upper side of the phone, both front and rear.
Thanks.

That Depends on The room temperature that you in if your room is some kind hot the device will become hot too but if your room isn't hot that may harm your device if you continue to play

It is normal. Just be careful though. Your phone is known to kill SDCards because of the heat

What ?
So, if I'm on under sunlight with 40°~50° C temp, it will harm my device ?
-_-
Room temperature doesn't matter, as long as human can live in there
@nafay142
It's normal, because 28 nm processing, of course, heat will be challange in here
always check your CPU temp, even TX have thermal throttle that set CPU clock scaling down when reached "danger temperature"
If your device about 50° or 55° C, I suggest do not use the phone about 5 minutes, let CPU scaling down to 40° C or lower, after that, you can use your phone again
Honestly a CPU can withstand about 100C. But of course not CPU manufacturer would let it reach that high since there is always a kill switch. So I say there is nothing to worry about. Xperia has its own thermal throttling system. You can play until your palms sweat
One thing though. If you are using some kind of casing over the back of your phone, remove it.
Well, I don't want take a risk to heat CPU to 100° C
Even if my CPU can handle that
Actually, not all CPU can handle at same clock and temperature
Everything is about luck, how lucky you get "nice" SoC
My save risk value for CPU is 70°C, but remember not all CPU can handle that, and may kill your CPU in instant way
And if CPU getting hot it means lower performance
Yea mine too but its okbsincw it will zhutoff automaticly oncs reach danger heat

I'm using Kernel Tuner
And my normal usage for using CPU is about 45° C to 51° C
Maybe more or less, the highest CPU I get when playing a 3D game is 50°C to 60°C for the most

Overclocking

So, I overclocked my CPU frequency to 1836MHz and my GPU frequency to 450MHz and after playing a game for like 10mins, my phone gets really hot. I know its normal but I would like to ask, did I overclocked my phone too much that it can destroy my phone? And what is the overheat temperature for my phone(HTC One)? So I can monitor it.
Thank you

Yes its possible to permanently damage your phone if your overclock is too much aggressive or your phone get to hot. Every chip is slightly different so you'll have to test your phone for each frequency steps you do. Like a computer, you should start overclocking in small increments till you reach a maximum stable config and then reduce it a bit for safety. And always monitor temperature, over-temping is your worst enemy when overclocking.
For the max temp question I don't really know, you might want to check qualcomm site for max safe cpu temps. Don't forget some other components doesn't like high temperature. Semi-conductors components life are reduced in high temp conditions and generally, lithium-ion battery doesn't like high temperatures...

That overclock is not going to hurt your phone but the temperature can if it gets too high which can happen at stock clocking. I keep my phone's cpu at 1.134 Ghz and games run great with minimal heat.
