Another crack at an overclocking app?

For what it's worth...
no2chem has an app he's working on that suppose to overclock the TP to
800mhz.
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/06/Touch-Pro-running-at-800MHZ.aspx
I'm not endorsing attempting to overclock anything. The last thing I ever overclocked what a celeron 300, to 450Mhz back in the day LOL, but, for you
hard core types, might want to head over there and read the thread. THE APPLICATION IS NOT AVAILABLE to download yet, I suppose he wants to really make sure your TP does not burst into flames, or cause a rift in the time space thingy

I read through the whole thing. It looks very promising, but is in its starting stages. Hopefully we can see something good come out of it. If we pick up a few hunderd MHZ, im sure it will greatly help the phone out.

Yeah, I've been following the thread also. If they can get it to work...I'm thinking it would be a trade off. Yes, I'll bet anything these chips are a bit underclocked, but, I'm also believing they are underclocked to remain stable.
Plus, anytime you run one over the specs, it just has to have a marked decrease in battery life, and it almost has to heat it up a bit. Those electrons can only run around inside that tiny package so fast before they heat up

I tried the app 2 times on my Fuze running 6.5 Energy Rom. Crashed everytime I tried to run the program. Gonna wait for the finished product to see how it turns out because the "test version" does not.

Ok so why in the world would anyone want to speed this little Gem up?
Running an energyrom i can run AD2P plus read a book or surf the net fine (hell ive even logged onto one of my webhosts from it) without any lag or speed trade off.
Isnt this just going to kill battery and heat the thing up?

you cant play games like quake and tony hawk with default speeds.. overclocking will enable u to play those games without a lag

[Q] Overclock on the G Tablet

I have several questions about overclocking on the G Tablet:
1: Is anyone using an Overclock App?
2: What are the real benefits of running an Overclock App?
3: What damage is done by running an Overclock App?
4: What is the best Overclock app for the G Tablet?
5: Are any of these apps worth the money?
I look forward to the replies!

No overclock on the g-tablet as of yet.

I've contacted Mike who does the SETCPU. He said he'll update for tegra 2 support as soon as he can get his hands on a device to test on.

Do the current kernels support overclock? Normally you need to specify clock speed slots in the kernel then apps like setcpu allow for those slots.

Awesome, will try it out. Thanks pershoot.

Wowzer just tried pershoots kernel and checkout the results on quadrant and linpack on Vegan 5.1.

wow..
@pershoot.. i have a question , im just a newbie with kernels. how do i install a kernel and is there a settings for that and lastly if i OC my tab will the battery last shorter? and how about the temp?
thanks

Whoa! Nice job Pershoot! Testing very well on Calkulins and Vegan Ginger. Excellent work!

I don't see any hit on the battery... assuming you leave it in power save mode and not performance mode in Setcpu.

@ 07aspenx do you have a steps by step on what you did to make yours so fast? I did setcpu but only got 1700 or so on quadrant. Still better then most devices but nearly as fast as yours.

All I did was flash the .zip file on pershoot's site then ran Quadrant. I was also getting 1700-1800 on a non OC'ed Vegan 5.1.1.

I'm new to the whole flashing/rooting concept.. But I bought the G Tablet about a week ago and after several trials and errors and trying several roms I finally got it flashed to G Harmony (gingerbread) v2.3 which I found to be the best and have it overclocked @1.4ghz.. The most simple and to the point way I could describe it is follow the directions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245.

I have found that the AOSP ROMS are fast. I use the following rom.

Be sure to pick up the G-APPS that goes with it.
I have found that clemsyn creates a mean kernel. His 1500mhz kernel is awesome. If your willing to go higher, he has one that will take you to 1700mhz.
However I must echo his words in that the specs for the processor are being pushed over the limits that Nvidia recommends. Now, if you like living on the edge, this is one great kernel.

Getting Dirty
Now, for a little dirty work.
Since you have already destroyed your warranty by modding ( however you can return to factory and no one usually knows.), you can now modify your hardware.
Yes, you can!!! It is called a heatsink!!!... Now how does it work??? Well, I will tell you.
See next reply for more info... ( I need to post more in order to be able to play in big boy land... )
PLEASE NOTE: Read all the Dirty posts before you start. This is for your own protection ( and mine). If you don't get warm and fuzzy thinking about doing the follow procedure, THEN DON'T!!!!

Beginning to get Dirty
Ok.. I have to post 3 more times I think... so.. to start off here and continue from my last post:
You have to take your G-Tab apart. Yes... it is necessary to see the innards!!!!
now... 4 screws hold that back on... BUT, there are little tabs holding it together after you pull the 4 small phillips screws. So, now you have to get a little physical with your G-Tab. Please remember that you are doing this at your own risk. I have done this... but I have relatively major experience in hardware. (was an electronic tech in old life) So, faint of heart... do not attempt!!!!
OK.. now you get to read my next post!!!!

Now we're Dirty
Ok.. if you accomplished the mission in the last post, your dirty... You have nicked, gouged, and smudged your pretty G-Tab. All is not lost, you are now into its guts!!!!
Ok, Now we really are going to cause havok. This is not recommended by anyone, but I have accomplished the task and will at least give directions. Please remember that anything you do beyond this point is totally your responsibility.
Ok, now that you have your back off, you need to gently pop the metal cover off of the electronics. It is shiny and extremely thin, so be very careful not to bend or warp it. Do not remove the tape from the end that is taped down. This will help keep things in perspective and it will go back on easier.
Now, you have found the object of our search. The CPU!!!!
Now, the hard part. Based on your observation of where the cpu is in relation to the cover, put a mark on the outside of the cover approximately where the center of the cpu is. ( now, for the more serious, measure and mark. More precise)
OK, now I hope you have read all of this instead of just doing one at a time. I guess I should go back and edit the first one and add that as a caveat. I will add the next post after I do that. Don't want to cause you guys problems.

Past Dirty!!!
Ok, now we will add some heat sink compound to our cpu. A very ( and I mean very) small amount at the very center of the raised portion of the cpu is all we need. Now, after studying the situation, I noticed that the cover is higher than the raised portion of the cpu. For heat sink compound to work, it needs to be touching two things. One is the cpu, and the other is the heat sink. Well guess what our heat sink is???? Yep, you guessed it.. the metal cover. Now, it isn't the best in the world, but in heat dissipation, every little bit helps. So, now for the hard part. Put the metal cover back on ( an you have the center of the cpu marked on it, right?). Using a small ( not sharp, I used an eye glasses repair type screwdriver with a blade tip) tool, press down on the metal cover around the area that you marked as the center of the cpu. the metal is pliable and does not take a lot of pressure to bend. We just want some of it to press against the cpu as to form a heat bridge.
Now, you can power on the G-Tab after you have done this and make sure all is good. If so, then power down, and put the back cover back on. We are done with our little surgery for the G-Tab.
This will help with any overclocking you do.
Caveat: It does not remove the danger of burning up your processor!!!!!

[SCREEN] Yellow spot when CPU gets warm [Poll]

Hey guys,
I got my N4 8G last week on Friday and the first what I saw when the CPU gets a little bit warmer (during Benchmarks or heavy use)
I can see a ugly Yellow spot on the Screen near where the CPU sits, as seen on ifixit.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4ESb_YBhAxITkd0SExNLUNablk
Did any of you guys have the same issue or should I replace the phone as soon as they are available again?

I don't get this trend with warm CPUs. My Galaxy Nexus used to get really hot sometimes but it never had any impact on screen quality, didn't make yellow spots or anything else.
Yesterday, I was charging the N4, while streaming and HD movie at full screen brightness. Nothing. Wasn't warm. Neither was it warm when I ran three benchmarks after one another.
Try turning on FORCE GPU RENDERING in Developer Options.

Either you are trolling or are completely oblivious to temperature changes. This phone gets really hot, because LG doesn't know crap about proper thermal design. Google was stupid not to choose Sony for this Nexus, but I'm assuming they're waiting for Sony to use Quad Cores. I'm confident that the next Nexus phone will be a Sony. I can't wait.

Yeah, no. Not trolling. Mine just doesn't get hot. Turning on Force GPU Rendering solved that same issue when I was having it with the Gnex. Force GPU takes load of the CPU, so it doesn't get hot.
I don't know what else to tell you, it's just doesn't get warm/hot for me.

Dude, why don't you just chill. And while you're chilling, pick up a new phone while you're at it since your's is getting hot.
And "completely oblivious to heat"? Right now, I can tell you that it's 10C outside in Berlin and it's a big difference to when it was 35C. Seems to me like you're just making a big deal out of a little heating. It's a quad core processor, what do you expect?

The Phone gets hot because the CPU burns allot of energy is has bothing to do with the phone design.
The main problem is that google totally f****d up CPU power management, why it the CPU locked at 1Ghz when the screen is on, why does it scale to 1.5 GHz when you touch the screen?? which results in swyping and typing killing the battery.

I'm pretty sure that's because of Project Butter. I'd take a little heat for some better performance/visuals any day.

Not sure what the issue is here. My GDS got hot when gaming, charging, etc asvdoes my nexus 7, my laptop, my pic and every other device I have ever owned.
The issue though is the great really causing some type of an issue with the glue? I would guess they would know but then again who knows..

Haven't done the yellow spot test yet. So can't tell.
The way I do the test: Install StabilityTest, set screen brightness to 100%, run CPU+GPU Test, wrap phone in a blanket and try get the temperature to 40C or above, then check with a white background.

302k Nexus vs 304k Nexus

I figured i should post this as it struck me as kinda odd...I got my new Nexus 4 today, My original had a small gap on the right side of the phone between the chrome and back section, and I wanted to compare the two so I ran some small test like Youtube, Browser, ect..the newer Nexus for some reason seemed just a little bit snappier..I then ran Antutu Benchmark and the scores were not close....Original has been factory reset..Both phones are completely stock and all settings were the same..Any thoughts are welcome
BTW phone on the left is original 302K. The one on the right is the newer 304K.
Sorry about the pic...took it with my girls LG Optimus L9..

Since the number only refers to the month of manufacture, it is likely that there are no differences. The few differences that might influence score would be outside temperature, internal phone temperature (one might be warmer/colder than the other internally, affecting speeds) and throttling engaged during the benchmark itself.

Exactly the same apps and accounts that sync on both phones? What was the temperature of the left phone? It lacks in the 3D test, so it could be possible that it got hot enough for the GPU to get throttled. To test this, you could wipe both phones to complete stock and ensure they both have no extra app downloaded, and install a custom kernel that raises the throttle temperature higher. If they come out roughly the same, it probably means you handled the left phone more than the right so it was already warmer and thus, reached the stock throttle temperature, or that the new Nexus 4 is better at dissipating the extra heat.
And i think the "seemed just a little bit snappier" may well be a placebo as stock Nexus 4 has some pretty aggressive mpdecision stuff that ensures the experience is as smooth as can be.

304K has a yellow tint like screen. Maybe its just the picture or the camera you used and the left phone can be throttled so assuming they have both stock rom and kernel without undervolt the newer 304K has lower temperatures.

My 302 k stock higher than your 304 .. It doesn't matter which "newer" version the nexus is. It works the same and the interior specs is the same. Threads about how 304 is different are pointless

I'm thinking they're not as "identically" set up as we're made to believe, like the alarm on the old phone and the no cellular service

It mainly depends on the variant of the s4 and any external variables that may trigger the throttling.

Nexus 6 gets really hot

Well my Nexus 6 has started getting really hot even with moderate usage. Its not like it burns my hand but it gets uncomfortable at times and it worries me.
If I'm just browsing on chrome, checking out Facebook, or playing a simple game like Crossy Roads, the phone starts getting really warm and after a while its really hot. Even when on WiFi it becomes hot. I have to close all the apps and leave it for a while so that it cools down. I don't have a lot of apps open all the time and I have a lot of memory remaining.
I can't really figure out what's the problem, any suggestions?
Thanks.

+1 Facebook application consumes extreme amounts of battery and system resources. That would be my first suggestion as well. Uninstall Facebook and see if you notice an improvement.

It would be easier to suggest something if you let us know if you are stock or have been playing with roms/ kernels and their settings.... I have seen other phones get hot with too aggressive kernel settings.....

first off, what cpu temperature ate you talking about? secondly, feel does not give you am accurate temperature reading, all its does is show you if something is hotter, or cooler, than your hand. thirdly, your phone can get up to 99C in temp. at 100C, the boiling point of water, your phone would automatically shut down to cool off. now while using your phone, especially when using the cpu hard, it will get hot. but that is normal. you own a quad core phone with a 2.65ghz cpu. do you really expwct it to stay cold?

Thanks for the suggestions.
I'll try uninstalling Facebook and getting back to you. I've already uninstalled Facebook Messenger.
My CPU temperature is around 41 degrees Celsius and when it gets warm to the point that its uncomfortable is around 58-60 degrees Celsius.
In know it has a really powerful cpu but I don't always want to be holding a device that is warm to the point that it becomes uncomfortable.
Also I haven't even attempted rooting or changing the kernels so its all stock.

58-60C is VERY normal, when using the phone. so maybe a powerful phone isnt right for you.

But is it normal to feel warm? Even though its powerful shouldn't it stay cool? Is this happening to every Nexus 6 user? Sorry for the influx of questions

again, feel osnt an accurate way to kudge temperature. if your hand is cooler, the phone will feel more hot. your phones temp also is dependent on the air temp around you. as if its warmer outside, then the phone will get warmer. but yea, every nexus can and will get that warm. and at times, will get even warmer! try plugging in to a charger and streaming a movie. in this situation, ive seen my phone hit 74C. but thats normal as well. unlike deaktop computers, our phones dont have fans blowing to keep the cpu cool. we rely on an inactive way to keep our phones cooler, so its normal for the more powerfully phones to get warm, and even hot.

Try this.
I was having overheating issues. When gaming, charging, or just about anything other than the phone at an idle. I cleared the cache in recovery. That's it. I did not uninstall anything or modify anything in any way. And now I do not have those issues. Is that what fixed it? I do not know. Will it work for anyone else? I do not know that either. But, I'm pretty sure that if you can clear the cache with your stock recovery, it won't hurt anything. Maybe you will get lucky and it works. Bonus benefit, battery life improved for me as well. Maybe 20% better. I hope it helps you as much as it did for me.
Good Luck.

And so sorry O.P. Didn't mean to push any buttons and junk up your thread.
Now that that's out of the way. Please try to have a good day.

No, what is odd is that I posted my experience with a similar issue on my Nexus 6 from at&t, and now I am responding to this.
But, fine.
I prefer not to beat around the bush. So, if you want to say it's not possible? Ok. that's cool. Think I am lying? That's fine as well. Heck I probably am. Just disregard the whole thing.

lol! im not saying youre lying! seriously. im just saying that the behavior that you experienced is odd, considering thermal throttle being there. i actively disable thermal throttle every single time i boot up. and i try, really try, but have not been able to reach 100C on my n6. and i run my cpu at 3032mhz high and low cpu speed. now my nexus 5 reaches shutdown very easy, it takes seconds to get it there. my n6, no matter how hard i push, purposefully, i can not get it to reach 100C. now your reboot might have been something completely different, and you not reaching thermal shutdown. but i doubt you would have known that, because you would need a live cpu temp in your status bar to see if you hit thermal shutdown. and i doubt you have a cpu temp showing in your status bar. i do

If your phone is 55+C while you are not using it very intensely there's a problem.
I listen to music, watch videos, play some games like clash of clans and I never break 50 Celsius.

youre probably looking at the battery temp. battery temp is different. if your battery hits 60C, youll automatically shut down. everyone i know with a nexus 6 sees over 50C cpu temp rather often. well, depending how hard you are using the cpu, and the temp around you.

Well I can't tell you how hot it was getting. But when I played Star Wars Galactic Defender while charging it got really hot, almost too hot to hold. Although I am sure that what I felt was nothing near the boiling point of water, it was enough to make the phone restart.It got hot under the same circumstances with 5.0. Just not that hot. But after the 5.1 update it started getting much hotter. At the time I wouldn't put it on a charger at night because of the crazy heat. After the cache clearing things have been much better. It doesn't even get warm when fast charging.

Partly. Through normal operation with stock interactive governor I sit around 40-50 playing music, opening coc, etc. Phone never feels hot in hand.
When I'm idling or reading something or casually scrolling I'm always sitting 35-40 CPU temp.
Obviously if I crank it up and lock to 2.6GHz and run some CPU stresses I quickly get up to 75C :laugh: but that isn't normal operation. Relaxed operation when the CPU is idling should sit pretty low.

it probably was something else that made it reboot, being plugged in and gaming. btw, thats the second best way ive found to get the phone really hot, plugged in and gaming

using the cpu lightly or it just sitting there wont get it hot at all. listening to music is using the cpu very lightly. if it gets hot just sitting there, then that is a problem. thats usually caused by a process getting "stuck" and the cpu staying a 100% active. so the heat in that situation would be a symptom, but not the problem.
