CPU Overclock - Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I wonder if anyone managed to overclock the CPU of our phones already.
It would be really cool if someone did that, because at the default frequency there is sometimes not enough power for some more demanding apps. Maybe these additional 100-200 Mhz could just about make it better perhaps?

Either a custom kernel or kernel modules are needed
But its seems no one knows to do that
We need to wait until someone with compiling skills buy this phone

It seem's that you can't overlock it,but you can shut down several cores manually......

[REQ]Undervolted kernel for G1?

Recently, I have seen the undervolted kernel for Nexus One which makes the battery spell longer.
Can anyone modify it for G1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634587
Look on the app market, dude. There are like 5 apps\widgets to do that EXACT same thing. Nothing has to be ported.

They actually don't do the exact same thing... My kernel is undervolted, not underclocked. Theres a difference. Undervolted uses less power at the same speeds, underclocked just drops the clockspeed.
interesting
This is interesting... I'd like to see this happen
EDIT: Forget it...

The one he linked for the Nexus is the one I made.
I don't think its possible for the G1/MT3g/CLIQ unfortunately.

In other words all 72XX lack this ability correct?
But the new Armv7 should be capable like the Droid,legend,devour,etc.
You can lower the vdd for 528MHz, but the next jump down makes it so low that the phone would immediately crash.

So we can lower it but not up it for the overclock?
Also, can we lower it at the lower speeds? (I have mine set up to underclock when the battery is low, when the screen is off, etc. so a lower VDD (if stable) would be great.

How feasible is it to underclock the phone even further than the 128 MHz?
personaly , i dont see a huge advantage to underclocking past what we got now, undervolting.... nah,
@ sleep mine atleast has virtualy no background processes.
and even on a heavy use day, cell standby shows up as my largest drain.
you want much better battery life, id say look into hacking the radio on it.

now that I have SetCpu working with root access, is it safe to try overclocking?

So after many tries I got SetCpu working, granted root by SuperUser.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Of course, the CPU frequencies are not automatically set by SetCpu, like it use to be for the good old 1ghz single core Snapdragon.
So what frequencies could be tried without riscking much for the CPU?
Does the Sensation kernell allow overclocking?
I couldn't find any answer for these 2 questions concerning the Sensation, sorry if I missed something or didn't use the search fonction correctly!
(noooo, please, not this "you're a noob at XDA" video!!!
I would wait till you can flash a OC kernel made for the Sensation. You can try going up small increments if you wanna try it. If it was me, I'd rather be safe than sorry
..plus I'm pretty happy with the speed right now. But when that kernel comes out, ill be OC'ingOC'ing too
right, I'm mainly gonna try to save battery using SetCpu using its profiles.
Problem here: SetCpu works only as long as I don't stop it and start it again. I mean I will get root granted only once, after I've used fre3vo and rootsh via adb

Well, you would need a custom kernel made for overclocking to start. Set CPU can crank up the Mhz that is already there, but its not gonna go over 1.2ghz.

i havent tried, but common sense says "no". im pretty sure setCPU wouldnt support our processor just yet, especially w/o full root access. and really, the risk compared to the payoff is minimal...for now, its nice to know it works, and is good for monitoring, but just wait until all the pieces of this phone fall into place

I use mine @1.8ghz no stability problem, no fc, i use Cygic Aura ( 3d gps) and no issue..
But this frequency is very high, use @ your risk !
Usualy a 1.4Ghz is a good mix between performance & security
do you notice a lot more battery drainage ?

No especially, but with in gps activity the phone is plugged in my car.
Otherwise i make 2days with few calls, sms and 2G data connection for weather and news reading.

Little tips : remove the cap of the battery BEFORE your tests ;-) in case the phone crash it's to easy for pull down the battery & reboot ;-)
1.4-1.5ghz is the max if you dont want to damage your processor
anything above 1.5ghz is very risky & gives hardly any performance boost
but mostly 1.2ghz is more than enough

I agree with that, anything over around 1.4 wrecks the CPU. The higher MHz are for Development testing and need not be used day to day.

There is an antenna in that "cap" as you call it, and there appears to be an issue with battery movement and the eMMC chip, you shouldn't remove the cap at all with the phone on to help prevent this.
Sorry to sort of ride a bit off topic here, but what do I need (programs) and what would I need to do to be able to overclock?
If it's S-OFF or Rooting, I can go find the guides

first s-off then root the device then install a custom kernel that supports overclocking the use setcpu(from the market) or a similar program
you can control the frequency from setcpu
you can refer this guide
@alain.duchateau try running the device at 1.3ghz i have never had even one crash on this frequency

I tried at 1.8 ghz it hanged my cell. i think 1.2 is the safe limit.

[Q] A question about overclocking

Hi,
having registered here some time ago i've been reading many threads about custom ROMs and the kernels used. Many of them seem to support overclocking your phones CPU. The thing i'm wondering about is that there's kernels which actually overclock your CPU to double the speed its CPU is supposed to be running on (!!), giving the CPU some more voltage i believe.
Actually i'm a bit sceptical about how setting the CPU to such sick frequencies has a bad effect on the CPU's lifetime. The way i understood the problem with clocking the CPU high is always the heat development, meaning without proper cooling the CPU will simply "melt away" (at least that's how it is on desktop computers). Of course, CPU's on smartphones are not cooled or anything. Now that there seem to be many people here, developpers or not, who got deeper into the hardware, probably already opened up a phone, or have some experience with the long term consequences of overclocking.
So my final question is: What is safe and what is not? I saw for the Galaxy 3 for example exist different kernels, some non-overlock kernels, as some kernels only doing limited overclocking up to 800 MHz (which seems to be the most healthy option to me), but also some kernels overclocking up to 1300 MHz, which as i said seems kinda sick to me. Well i bet there's someone out there with a bit more experience than me regarding this so i'd be thankful for any answer.
I believe its safe as long as you dont keep the phone at high overclocked spds all the time. Besides, this chips are designed to last 5 years at least so if you overclock and shorten its life, you would have already changed your phone. In short, dont worry, just dont leave your phone at above 1000mhz all the time

You got a point there hehe. Technical progress is moving in light speed. Anyway, i want to make my phone last as long as possible of course. But it's true, with CPU stepping it won't run on the highest frequency the whole time, even if overclocked, so i guess that overheating won't be an issue.
The only time i overclock is when im playing 3d games. Other times mine is 700mhz at most

pls share ur setcpu setings...i've started a thread in Q&A...so that we can get an idea...
i'm always using 1200mhz...is it safe...??

No.. 800mhz should be your main profile. When charging i put 1200mhz 300mhz on demand. You shouldnt always leave it at 1200mhz. Only when you need it

if you use a governor like OnDemand/Conservative, your phone wont always be on 1200 but usually on the lower values...It will go only to 1200 when needed

Overclocking?

nonoononono if you overclock you snapdragon 835 you will not surpass the 845 and you will kill you cpu life because this cpu doesnt have a cooler
but yes its posible i had already try it but do not do it

this is the thing mate.. im not running my phone full4K all the time. i dont need that , all i need is more power out of the cpu and gpu. so OCing with the stock 1080p config wont harm ( at least thats what i assume given the fact that current temps are healthy af).
If there is anyone to guide me with this process , i would love to give this a try ( take one for the team)
