Undervolting on Siyah 1.5..2 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey All,
I have installed Foxhound ROM for ICS and loaded the Siyah Kernal.. The ROM itself is great, I have also overclocked the CPU to 1.7Ghz, But i see some battery warming issues. I have installed NStools as well.
Any recommendations what under volting can i use with this config?

Why overclock,do u experience any difference in speed in daily use,except in benchmark..
Btw an app is installed with siyah called STweaks,it controls all kernel features.read first page post 4-5 by droidphile,excellent guide

Yes I have observed changed after overclocking.. The s3 boots up way faster plus for gaming it showed me real difference specially playing real racing 2 with 1.4 and 1.7..Now I only need to undervolt correctly so I can save on my batter life.. Can we set a custom voltage for 1.7 below stock values??

stock voltage for 1.7 ghz is 1400mv, try undervolting by -50mv to -100mv and stick with one which is stable

use setcpu
keep changing it down in increments of 12.5mv and do the strees test keep doing that till u find a value that works
ps once u've done that let's us know what it is.
1088mv for 1200mHz that's the top freq I use so I never played with the voltages for the freq above it.
Hope this helps
remember thanks if it did

k did the testing for ya
on MY DEVICE (Every device slightly diff)
1704MHz voltage 1288mv (put in 1290mv it will round it down)
if that don't work or is not stable for u then the next step up is to 1300mv .
775 mv for 100MHz .
hope this helps and if it did thanks is only 1 click away.

Thanks Bala, Stressing the phone to -50mv at the moment.. Have you tried at -100mv? whats the result so far?
Also when charging I observe my phone warming a little.. Is that good?

Have you done undervolt also?
This is the main cause.
The problem is from your kernel
what kernel are you on, to overclock the best kernel is siyah kernel for ics roms
SiyahKernel for SGS2 | "One kernel to rule them all"

once you do this you should't have a problem anymore

Said the man who just posted that there are no stable ICS ROMs.
Great advice about overclocking though - the OP obviously really wants to, he just ended up underclocking buy some twist of fate... Good you're here to fix it for him
You cannot possibly be for real.
may i know how to undervolt and what app should i need to use to underclocking/overclocking?
i used battery saver pro to underclocking but my phone hang and force shutdown

[Q] Setting CPU speed

Hello all, i have a question, i am using the Phenomenal 3.0 normal version kernel and is using SETCPU apps to manage my CPU speed. However, when i try to set the speed to 1100mhz and above, the CPU speed does not go up to 1100mhz and above, instead it always stay at 1000mhz.
Has anyone experinece this before? if yes, has anyone any steps to resolve this?
Could it be the undervolt issue that is preventing me for going up to 1100mhz?
Thanks.
Looking at the thread it doesn't look like the kernel has overclock capabilities,

I am not trying to overclock, just trying to go to 1400mhz at times but i just cant go past 1000mhz, only when i restart the phone, then it will go to 1400 at times...
seem like i have solve the problem by untick the cpu power saving under the power saving option. However, it seem like the SetCPU apps is useless as i am unable to control the CPU anymore.. is that true? or are there any apps that can overcome this issue?

Have you tried using other apps, instead of SetCPU, or are you running two CPU-manipulation apps at once?
Try clearing SetCPU's data/cache and try again
I personally use AnTuTu CPU Master, but that is a personal choice, I guess

I have SETCPU and system tuner pro... does these 2 apps cause the issue that i have?
Phenomenal kernel is a ready to use kernel. You cannot change any settings here in this kernel. It's not like any other kernel wherein gives you the ability to configure the cpu and gpu. Setcpu will only work with other kernels such as SiyahKernel. This will give you the ability to set the cpu and gpu freq and voltage. The power saving mode limits the power of your cpu, thus disabling it will increase cpu freq

Nope. Stock kernel will not allow you to change it. If you're on stock ics rom, i would suggest you use siyah kernel v1.5.2. I'm once a user of it. If you need a guide in underclocking and undervolting, you can find the best guide here posted by bala_gamer. You can also settings in his signature which you can use.

And you are very right!!!!! Doesnt matter what app you use u cant overclock on stock kernel!!!! Stock kernel doesnt have the provision for that. And if members who send links read those links properly before they send them they will realise that you need a kernel that supports overclocking like siyah!!!!!!!!!!!! Stock kernel doesnt.

[ Thread ] Your underclocking recommendations.

We all know that our ace sucks on battery & after finding that calibration is a myth, I was kinda broken The only thing that helps us long on our battery is underclocking. There was no thread for this, so I decided to create one ! So guys, please share your frequencies, governors, I/O scheduler, rom name, kernel used & battery life for varied usages ( less, moderate & heavy ). If underclocking hasn't decreased your performance but at the same time if it has improvised battery life then it's worth sharing ! Help people love their battery that hate it like hell now

Why underclock the whole thing if you can just set a screen off profile? Using the phone while under clocked won't really give much battery. The Ace is a battery hog during screen on either way no matter what clock it's set at. All of you guys use your phone differently so that's why your battery usage varies.

Rom : PacMan Rom v22.0.0
CPU Max : 748MHz
CPU Min : 122MHz
Governor : Smartass V2
Stable and less never heats (which means less crashes)
I use Screen off Profile for underclock, Smartass, around 700 max and 200 min..
Dont use now as I amon ultimatum rom and I am testing it so dont need that but mostly I use these settings and Battery lasts 2 days
I dont play games
After trying out many ROMs and trying various combinations of Clock Speed and Govnors, i personally feel that:
FOR BETTER BATTERY LIFE- Clock Speed: 245 - 787, Govenor- ONDEMAND (am getting 1d 5 hrs battery life with 2 hrs talktime, full time 2G connected and 3 hrs wi-fi browsing using Battery Extender 1.2)
FOR PERFORMANCE: clock: 245- 806, Govnor- SMARTASSV2
To save Battery you can further UnderClock it but I feel 787 is apt.

I usually use either setcpu or rom toolbox pro if kernel doesn't come with an app. There are quite a few cpu control apps on playstore.. Ktoonsez has an app that comes w/ his kernel on GS3 so thinkin he may make it in this but its very new. This is just build #1. Can't wait till oc is added!! Its gonna be great.

Viper3D anthrex kernel overclock

During the installation of the viper3D (275) ROM I can choose between clockspeeds (I'm using the synergy ROM atm so I know I can overclock it to 1,7ghz and still be stable) the gout clock can be raises to 320, is this safe?

Overclocking is all in the kernel. The GPU clock speed (the one you're referring to at 320mhz) is the graphics processor, technically its not being overclocked, its being brought back up to the Qualcomm default speed
