just wondering what we will be able to overclock to when custom kernels are here?? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

on my og evo 4g i think it was 1.2 on my evo 3d i could overclock to 1.8 the highest but i used to just leave it at 1.5 because it was most stable.. when we get some oc kernels should we be able to oc higher then 1.8?? im happy with my phone where it is now but was just wondering because i like to mess around with quadrants sometimes.. thanks... i was thinking 2MHz????

we won't know until the kernels hit. finding out is pretty much just trial and error to see where it freezes at

I can't wait to find out how high a 28nm chipset will go

My OG Evo topped out at just a hair under 1.2. I never had the 3D so I never got a chance to play with those. But I would think that the LTEvo would be capable of some very nice OC's. Though, I would probably only use that if I am playing some kind of demanding game (which I rarely ever do) or if I am just trying to test the limits of my phone (which I always do). However, I would think that as a daily driver setting I probably won't ever have it set higher than 1.6 - 1.7 with a fairly conservative governor in place.

[DISCUSSION] 1.6Ghz achieved and benched on Vibrant (supposedly)

Here
After last weeks DX farce with 2Ghz and 3Ghz Im cautious however these guys seem to have the benchies to back it up. We've long heard the potential for the hummingbird was 1.6. Only sad part is they say no Fascinate development till they get one. Removing the 56fps cap is nice too
I've never heard of these guys before? Legit? Renowned? Anyone know.
I would say all is BS until proven other wise. In my opinion the hardware would burn up at those speeds.

Agreed. 1.6 has long been discussed as an achieveable speed. Dirrk was tinkering with it weeks ago. Its voltage requirement obviously is high and near the threshold point given the non-active cooling for the cpu. But I would not be surprised this could be achieved. I mean shoot we have 1.25Ghz on less than stock voltage already.
Benchmarks in one hand, stability in the other. When I see a posted kernel with good reviews for a week or so, I'll do more than raise an eyebrow. lol.
It's on the OCLF kernel, which if I remember, is well known for posting high quadrant scores without giving any real performance benefit.
Also, benchmark overclock's in the desktop world are always just for demonstration, not an application. Ever seen that 7GHz overclock benchmark they did on a Pentium 4?
This is no BS. The devs working on this are reputable and put out some of the best Vibrant ROMs out there. They're stable at 1.6ghz and are talking about pushing it to 1.8/2.0.

This doesn't suprise me. I could push my Droid to 1.32ghz. That's well over a 100% overclock. Achieving a 60% overclock shouldn't be too hard, especially on newer and much better hardware.
I find it tough to believe that most phones will be stable at a 60% overclock. Granted, Im only speaking from my experience with desktop CPUs... What type of software do people run to test stability?

What has been your experience with desktop cpu's. I cannot remember the last desktop cpu I have which at least 50% so I dont find 60% outrageously unreasonable. Active cooling obviously makes a difference.
With the battery life Im seeing on Dirrks UV kernels and even what I got on stock voltages pre-OC I would feel confident I could still get a full day off a 1.4-1.5Ghz hummingbird even if the voltage had to be raised to 1400mv.
I'm having trouble with stability with the 1.2 OC kernals...
So I checked out the thread in the vibrant section. This is def for real! Looks awesome! I had trouble with dirrks lv 1200. But every other kernel has ran fine. I'm sure that eventually we'll have everything we can dream on this phone. Good thing its already so great that I don't mind waiting. I hope I don't have to find an excuse to exchange my phone in search of one that can handle more.

@teamwhiskey is a god send. they have pulled the download though,due to flaws in their kernal. they are in the process of re-vamping it and re-testing. it seems while the kernal did improve performance it is unknown how much because it was also manipulating the internal clock speed.

Yes this is for real. I personally run it. Heres quadrant I ran last night. This kernel should be ported to all SGS phones. As long as they get a good dev with this phone to help port.
CPU didnt see near the gain I had hoped it would.
ya the CPU is getting destroyed by the N1. And what is with the ridiculous I/O. Did someone port a PCI express array of SSD's on the Vibrant? Maybe they just developed the GOD file system.
I make jokes, but I want the screen of my Fascinate to say 3439 also haha
I am on a mesmerize niw coming from a vibrant. I used this kernel. There was a timing issue. The io scores come from oclf which cheats quadrant. Those guys have released a pretty stable 1.4 oc that is real. I got 68 fps in neocore. Truth be told guys there is no need for oc in my opinion. With froyo the phone plays flash easily. Only application of oc to me is emulation and bragging rights. A good voodoo kernel works wonders honestly.

wooow way to bring this one back from the dead

Bye Bye NS4g ;( hello evo 3d

So today I pre-ordered the evo 3d, something i told my girl friend I wouldn't do lol! You know I love the Nexus, its a great phone, but the other day I flash the miui rom and it messed up my calling for some reason. My girlfriend would call me and it take her to "im sorry you can not reach this person right now," and when i would call her it would make a beeping sound. It is not that bad because it doesn't happen all the time but I gave me a reason to switch phones. I still have 30 days left on my nexus so why not?
So I went into best buy and to pre-order and the lady was looking to fixed the problem I told her I had and she said if I mind if she deletes everything on my sd card. I was like "NOOOOOO!!!!!!" lolz I was gonna say I have an unrooted stock recovery in that, but she probably wouldn't know what that meant.
Anywho hopefully the evo 3d can be rooted as easy as the nexus. I'm not jive with the one click root method. I will sure miss the 4000+ quadrant scores tho haha
How'd you get 4000+ quadrant scores?
CM7 + Netarchy Kernel + OC to 1.4 = awesome sauce. The highest I got was 4200, the trinity kernel can OC to 1.5 and get 5500+ @[email protected], but ehh I take quadrants with a grain of salt, but boy are they fun to run when you get earth shattering numbers.
I have a Nexus too and for a single core device. Its beast!!!
Some kernels spoof their abilities to pretty much replicate a time machine. It thinks it's processing data before it is. The same CPU is in the Epic, and it can pull at most, 2800. (That's OC'd to 1.4 ghz). It was explained somewhere else, not sure I remember correctly.
I just think you are making an excuse to switch

When I opened the Nexus it got 2250 stock on quadrant. Epic runs all that touchwiz junk. AOSP will always be better performance wise.
hmm your nexus is probably a factory freak because the highest stock quadrant on mine is 1850 but it is so inconsistent. Sometimes i get 1300, 1400, 1500, it chooses when it wants to give out a high score lol! BTW does anyone know to how wave an activation fee?

[POLL] Can your EVO 3D Overclock beyond 1.5GHZ and be stable? Over 80% Says YES!

I am one of the unlucky ones that no matter what kernel/rom combination I cannot sustain over 1.5GHZ without a re-boot.
Curious to see how many share my ill fortune to see whether this is more the exception or the norm among the XDA EVO 3D community...
I can do 1728, but 1782 reboots on me. I'm glad though... My hero was stuck at 691, my first shift couldn't top 1000, the second one got 1600 but others got 1800, so I'm happy with 1728. And just a note, I could get higher using on demand versus other governors, so be sure to try that.

From what I now understand, the CPU bin will play a role of whether your phone can go past 1.5Ghz and remain stable. But some of you guys need to wait because the kernels aren't made for every phone in mind. One may work for yours, the other may work for someone. So let the kernels get out of there beta stages.
Appreciate my help? Thank me

It isn't bad silicone, just lower binned. But we don't know if that is the case. The kernels are still in their beta stages.

No problem here.
Now we need to ask about battery life. How does the overclock messes up your battery life? Out a normal 100%, how much % gets eaten on your normal day by the cpu?
And the 1.8ghz is max? In standby ect i want it underclocked.
I eun mine at 1.8 and have no issues at all. I'm on mags rom as well

On my E4G I set min384/max1176 for a vast majority of its life and never had bad battery life that wasn't coming from somewhere obvious like 4g on, low 3g signal, etc... And with the havs/uv kernels it was even better battery life than bone stock.... Id image same will happen here. I've been rocking 384/1728 since netarchy released his test kernel and I have no noticeable difference in battery life.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
the cpu on the 3d is a 1.5GHz, but HTC underclocked it to 1.2GHz.
i get 1.8 and am stable, on a 1.5, you should be able to hit 1.7 with zero issues. most should be able to hit 1.8+ w/ no (or very little) issues.
Was running 1836 with no problems when I was temp rooted. Now I'm fully rooted and using nets kernel and capped at 1728. Both are stable and fast.

wth is a 3vo???

phone locks up at 1.6?

ive tried every rom/kernal combination and with each i get lock ups when doing intensive cpu work such as a game or benchmark overclocked to 1.6 any ideas? Thanks
Just means your processor was built a little weak. Its only built to run at 1.2ghz so anything above that is pushing it hard... some phones can be oc'd that much, some can't. Just take it down to 1.4. I can't even get mine to 1.4 so he thankful
Sent from my AT&T cellular device.
What voltage do you have it at? Try raising it 25mV at a time stressing you cpu at each step until you're stable. That is if you are determined to run 1.6 and i would not push more than +100mV personally.

I do not think entropy is the one who has issues...
This has been discussed in 10 different threads already and in great detail. If the OP did as much as search he would of have found the answer himself. That is why they call it research
the only question left is...... You mad bro?
Keep all voltages stock, then use voltage congrol and click on 1400 and increment the slider+ 25, then do the same for 1600. This is what i had to do to get my phone stable at 1.6 Some phones may need EXTRA voltage and others need less. It takes some testing to get your particular phone stable at anything over 1.2Ghz. I only did it to see if I saw any gains. Actually for me and my phone I found as far as MY SETUP and testing many different benchmark style apps at 1.4Ghz i got better benchmarks than i did at 1.6Ghz. Now everyones phones will act sligbtly different so your mileage may vary.

At 1.6 ghz... your phone will be discharging your battery ON your charger... I personally wouldn't recommend doing it as it gets the phone really hot, and causes the chip lots of stress due to high heat. Personally if you need more performance (this phones pretty damn fast anyways) go to 1.4ghz.
Most of our phones can be overclocked to 1.4 and some can go to 1.6 but not all. If you change the voltages and it still craps out, then take it down a notch to 1.4 and see how that works for you.

Now now. Since when do we encourage keeping things stock.
My point is - if it were guaranteed to hit 1.6, it would be sold as 1.6.
Being able to hit 1.6 is luck of the draw, pure and simple.
There's a reason:
1) OC is not default on my kernel
2) I held off on providing OC support for a while here, and NEVER released it on Infuse (users weren't mature enough to handle it over there)
3) I have a warning in GIANT RED LETTERS not to complain about OC stability issues on my kernel thread.

We should have an OC that allows n00bs to melt their cpu.... 2.5ghz ftw
No no no.... We have too many "I tried to load the ICS in the I9100 forums, and I bricked my phone, please help!" threads. we don't need "I OC'ed my phone to 8ghz and melted my cpu" threads too
Tegrak allows you to go past 1.6. I thought these CPU were locked @ 1.6 but i had to up my voltage at 1.7 and i got a small bump in my benches though i probably did run my test enough to confirm the bump. At so.e point, when i get some time ill beat on my CPU some more

I ran my phone at 1.6 for days just to see performance. No UV at all.. battery certainly drained faster, but not while charging. It charged just fine.. and stayed cool even when stressing. Like many have stated, all CPU's are slightly different .. just cause yours melts at 1.6 and wont charge doesn't mean this will happen for anyone trying to run 1.6GHz.

Try bumpin' up the voltage 1-2 notches.
Just to add to the stats...
I've been able to run @ 1.4 with the same voltage as 1.2, but my phone will freeze once in a while when running apps like camera or navigation. Had to bump the voltage up slightly to get it stable, though I will likely just run 1.2.
I cannot run at 1.6.

Try changing or updating your kernel. Im the OP and had the same problems. with the new siyah kernel at 1.6 even if i try i cant make it lock up or freeze.
Your processor was made from a different silicon wafer than other people's phones and was rated for 1.2ghz.
Since each wafer is different, some processors take voltage better than others as well as speed. It happens.

i second this. good phone...not an extreme amount of community/dev support. there is plenty, but it's not a phone that has some great number of experimental roms or anything.
Good phone, but imo should go with something newer if tech interest you. If not, go for it. Can get it really cheap now compared to the other phones with same tech. 3d is just a plus, not a must have but fun to play with and show off to friends.
And 3d boobs =
From the giant: Galaxy Note
It currently has the best resolution, openness of storage, good processor speed, and ram available on sprint. The 3D is an OK extra but even without it it's the best phone right now.

The phone's stock clock is 1.2Ghz. The processor is meant to be at 1.5Ghz so that's the highest stable you'll go. Some phones can get up to 1.8Ghz and 1.9Ghz.
Additional Notes:
Don't get the evo 3D unless you need a new phone now. This phone is 8 months old meaning the new Evo will come out soon. Also, the GSM Evo 3D doesn't have much dev support. If you want great dev support, try the Samsung Galaxy SII.

Never played any of those but I would imagine so. It has pretty beefy processing power and as I said before, if you put a custom ROM and kernel on it then things become VERY smooth.

Performance from overclocking is big, especially on a custom kernel like AnthraX. That kernel has different GPU and bus speeds in it as well, and if you run between 1.4-1.6GHz you have an overclocked GPU as well as overclocked CPU. Going above that lowers GPU to stock speeds to help stability.
Performance is VERY good at stock though and you shouldnt need to OC to run anything.
Battery life is average Id say, but if you get just the right setup and tweak things just right you can get amazing battery life. I have gone over 3 days on a single charge with very light usage. On heavy usage it is like any phone and only goes about 5-6 hours.

I keep kidding myself that I'll watch a 3D movie or so one of these days. So far I think I watched half of Avatar.
well thats kind of disappointing i thought this phone would have better opinions...
well then i would like that ull recommend a phone if possible id like to stay with htc... loving sense and loving build quality.. and the gsII isnt a possibility for me...
i wanted the evo 3d over the sensation xe because of the ram..
the question is... is it worth the wait and the money to wait for the next gen snapdragon s4 htc devices which will probebly be annouced at mwc in a month..
great phone fast responsive with the latest update battery life has been great for me. every game i threw at it , it played it with no lag . I think it will take some time for devs to really get a hold of the 3d thing to get that and 4g into asop roms. I found this app on htc hub called phereo thats a 3d pic sharing app thats got me hooked on the 3d side of it again lol. my stable max over clock is 1728 mhz hope this helps

I don't know what these guys are talking about. This is by far the best quality/price you could get right now. There is the Motorola Atrix 4G which is also cheap but not as good as the Evo3D. The only dark spot is the camera which is good but not as great as other phones.
Evo 3D is always on the top 5 most popular phones on XDA. so I guess deving is still ongoing. Most devs are just waiting for an ICS leak to get back. And GSM dev section has nearly all flavours: Sense 3.0, Sense 3.5, AOSP (MIUI, ICS and CM) and I have no doubt that even if some builds miss one or two things, they will get mature in the near future.
Anyway, my choices would be:
If you have money, want speed with good quality build and can wait: HTC Edge.
If you have money, want speed with good quality build and cannot wait: HTC Amaze.
If you don't have money, want speed with good quality build: HTC Evo 3D.
And since I do like to use my phone (using like calling family, checking mails, feeds, etc. not like running useless benchmarks) and want it to stick around, I would never recommend a plastic phone like GSII.

I actually use 3D a lot. I have watched quit a few movies, played almost all of the games and love just checking out 3D pictures. Some people complain about it but I love it. I love the phone overall. The only thing that would stop me from buying this phone, is the possibility of a quad core soon.

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
I wouldn't think to hard. I think living in your parents basement is getting to you.
How are you enjoying your new screen name after you got the last one banned?
