OMAP 3630 is awesome!! (at least at 1 Ghz) - Defy General

I found this video with the new LG-LU3000 Android device with OMAP 3630 CPU at 1 Ghz. In the video can see that the new LG is faster than Samsung Galaxy S and iPhone!!
I hope that the custom ROM will come soon!! (with OC)

I can't post direct links, sorry

Maybe i'm wrong but omap3630 go up to 800 mhz not 1ghz. Instead, omap3640 reaches 1ghz.
take a look here, but there are many other sources, just google for omap36xx.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_OMAP
Btw, defy itself is equipped with 3630, motorola's specifications say 3610 but they also include a powerVR graphic chip (which is ONLY present in 3620, 3630 and 3640 processors), so it's clear it can't be 3610.
Then i agree with your, TI cpus are great, in my opinion a lot better than qualcomm.

The Defy one is underclocked afaik.
If you check your wiki-link and and follow the Cortex A8 reference, it clearly states the CPU supports everything between 600Mhz and 1Ghz+
Overclocking should start beyond that point, because the CPU supports the mentioned speed already...the defy doesn't use it to increase the battery-life.

Yes i see, 600 to 1000 mhz. I was not 100% sure so i wrote "maybe i'm wrong".. but this is better than i expected.
So, defy + froyo + overclock to 1ghz =

I'll be happy enough with 2.2 and without overclocking. Also, FWIW, the processor range according to android system info (market app), the processor can run at 300, 600 and 800 mhz. My defy is scoring higher than the SGS as it is on quadrant.
I love the defy. My first and as of now favorite android phone. Not as pricey as some of the "top end" android devices, just as fast and powerful (moreso in a lot of cases), rugged, great battery life. I'm hooked! It's a mini beast!

I'm afraid you're wrong.
Just because the CPU supports a 600-1000MHz range, that doesn't mean that it will use the same amount of power at those speeds.
If you look at the likes of desktop and laptop CPUs, they down-clock to reduce power usage when there's less load on them.
So, yes, Motorola's decision to clock the CPU at 800MHz instead of 1GHz may well be a decision to save battery life.

That's what i wanted to say
Sry for my bad english :x

is there any way to overclock to 1G? using setcpu?

Is there any good reason to overclock it?

1.4 Ghz Crash, any happens the same?

Motorola droid 2 overclocks at 1.4Ghz stable at 72-76 Vsel ( i seen ) but our defy's can't do that frequency, inclusive with 80vsel still not stable...
There is any reason? why droid 2 can, but defy doesn't.. in "teori" defy have an omap 3630, the same as droid 2.
Maybe something on the driver? or simply hardware limitation?
thanks
Because that Phone has a CPU that has already a higher default clock.
Even if it is the same CPU, the chip used in the Defy mostly just didnt
meet the required parameters for 1 GHz and was stamped 800 MHz.
So you will in most cases not be able to go that far in OC.

im sorry but Chinese defy runs by default at 1ghz, and with the same Vsel as default 800Mhz....
I don't care about this... but i'm still thinking there is any way to overclock safetly at 1.4Ghz and more like the Droid 2.
Example, HTC HD2, in his time the max overclock at 1.2Ghz ( maximum stable ) and now is stable at 1.5Ghz.... you don't believe? search on hd2 forum...

AFAIK Chinese Defy (ME525) also run at 800Hz by default.
Defy may have same CPU as Droid2, but even same CPU of different production batches often have different overclockability.

And this battery of 1700 mA?? I want one of these...

Same processor just not underclocked like the defy is (if I remember correctly)... it's pretty much the same phone. Which sucks.

And again, 3610 and 3620 are just market numbers, those models do not exist. All of them are 3630 but clocked at different speeds.
3630 - 800 Mhz
3630 - 1000 Mhz
3630 - 1200 Mhz
There is no difference on Instructions Sets, technology, or anything, all are ARMV7 with the only difference beign the Mhz
Want a Defy+? get the battery and Overclock your Defy to 1000 Mhz
I meant CPU. Autocorrect pawns me often! Its not an upgrade yet a good replacement for old users looking forward to stick with the Defy brand.
Still a sham for the least they could do was include a front camera not making Gingerbread pointless.

At first I was frustrated that they were releasing such an improvement from the Defy, but the difference isn't THAT much, just the OC and the battery. So I'm fine with my Defy. After all, we can still do stuff with this right?

So it wold be allrigth to our defy to run at 1200? Its processor was made for that? Or we maybe would have some heat issue?
Found the 1700mAh battery for sale at Mugen power... Kind of expensive. I'm flearting with it now.
Just to be clear, i never even considered an "Upgrade" for the Defy+. I just want my phone to be as fast and the battery last as much as it could!!
Thanks a lot for all replies!
Can't say if the chip was tailormade for that frequency as it does heat up a bit after a while but yes its still safe.

Yep what ryan8r said, I dont know if it was made to run a 800 or 1200.
I do run mine at 1100 since I bought it (couple months ago) at vSel 54 and it doesnt heat up, works wonders.

I ve got that battery and I have to say that on any froyo and any custom roms 2.2 the improvement was really visible, however, currently im on MotoGinger and I only get 2 days of battery and that s a maximum. its probably my fault because recently I cant be arsed playing with a phone

Refer to sixth post in this thread. Motorola lied, both defy and defy+ have the 3630
Reason is that it is well known that defy and defy+ both have the same gpu that the specs say the 3630 has, and the easy overclocking to 1300mHz...

[Q] increase max cpu clock?

is it possible to overclock above 768mhz? my phone never gets warm and battery lasts 2+ days, completely stable at this speed, i want to learn how i can edit a kernel and increase the cpu voltage ever so slightly and increase max cpu clock and see whats stable, could you help me?
i think you will just start to get kernel panics if you try to go much higher .
i have another phone (lg 500) also with the same arm6 cpu that comes clocked at 600 from factory. i have the option to oc to 825 with custom kernel but it always panics at 806 and is stable at 787.
So i think if you want a faster phone go buy one

Nope.
P500 has an ARM11 MS7227 processor
Wildfire has an ARM11 MS7225 processor.

lol the chipset for the wildfire is MSM7225 but the cpu is arm6/11? on half of the sites is arm6 the other arm11..
Hi I have mine set to 710 and any higher starts getting random reboots.
But overclocking any higher than 768, your risking a chip melt or definitely shorting its life.

I don't think so. My old Omnia HD (Symbian) can be overclocked from 600mhz to 900/950mhz (50% more) without problem, with an elder architecture...
I wish to see 2nd Gen. devices how much can be overclocked...1.8 Ghz will be great! But Wp is the faster OS yet =D
Older architectures are actually often better for overclocking, because they're not running as close to the theoretical limit on the speed of the chip (the practical limit is based on heat dissipation capability, but there are other limits that are more subtle and tend to just result in weird hardware errors rather than thermal shutoff). That said, 1GHz is still probably pretty far from the limit.
I wouldn't oc for my device just to watch the speed of the cpu or maybe just a little bit
I think this will be useful only for device with new cpu with 1ghz clock like radar

I suggest you flash faux's kernel.
It can oc to 1.6GHZ for most user~
and it support s2W!
I expect many users will be aware of this information, but just in case you aren't.
Anyone overclocking should be aware that this will usually lead to higher power consumption which leads to more heat produced and lower battery life.
Especially if it is necessary to overvolt to acheive higher clock frequencies with stability.
Power consumption is proportional to Voltage squared, so small increases in core coltage can result in larger increases in power consumption than mught be thought.
Needless to say this can have negative impacts on battery discharge time and overall life (due to higher temperatures).
Plus there may be some throttling back of frequency if high temperatures are reached. Also possible that frequency may be reduced to 1Ghz maximum when battery voltage is low (i.e when discharged)
Hope this is helpful (first post here)

CPU throttle starts at 85c with thermal TJ-max of 99c.
also there is many debates about this, higher speed need more power which drains battery, but that said it means work gets faster meaning it can idle faster saving power, same the other side slower speeds save power but take longer to get work done using more power.

Go to Faux123 and read the opening post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647993
it will teach you about Tegra 3 variants.
Flash Faux123 latest kernel to know what variant you have.
You can have 1.5ghz quadcore minimum, except if you have the poor variant0 of the Tegra 3, and 1.6ghz quadcore max if you have variant 3
So the overclocking you can achieve depends on your Tegra 3 variant, whatever the kernel, don't trust the figures in kernel threads titles, they just give the max if you have variant 3. And the majority of people have variant 1 so limited to 1.5ghz quadcore and there's nothing to do about it, no future kernel can change the way your CPU was manufactured.
Just, SetCPU can display 1.6ghz or more, but if you have variant 0 or 1 it will never use it (CPUspy will say 1550 and 1600 are unused frequencies)
Variant 1 can go upt to 1550mhz but not for quadcore, so who cares....! Same for kernels claiming up to 1.7ghz, it's in single/dual core, so once more, who cares?
What is important is what max speed you can achieve in quadcore, nothing else, and the limits are clearly defined by your Tegra3 variant
"all chips are not created equal" was a silly bull**** invented more than one year ago as an easy answer to noobs claiming they couldn't overclock their dual core at their max. Now, on the One-X and because of Nvidia unstable quality"all chips are not created equal" is sadly the truth.
PS: wrong=> to say that overclocking means more voltage, undervolting a custom kernel a little can surprisingly reduce heat when you push your CPU to its max,I can have both 1500mhz quadcore and less voltage than stock, as well as less heat (I was surprised, really, on the Sensation I had always found undervolting kinda useless)
PPS: true=> thermal throttle will always come pretty soon and reduce your max speed......

Your argument makes sense, but unless the governor is very efficient at controlling the CPU speed very quickly, in most cases your argument doesn’t hold true. For example when playing a game or running a CPU intensive application (where overclocking has any use) the processor works at full speed for the duration of the application.
EDIT: Frankly I don’t see any point in overclocking a phone like One X. I don’t play many games, but the few games I have played ran very smoothly. And if people are overclocking because of the (barely noticeable) laggy UI then overclocking is not a real fix anyway. Installing a custom ROM (perhaps JB), a different launcher, tweaking background apps/services are some of the more sensible and effective things to do instead.
No disrespect to the devs who are working on overclocking, but IMO HTC and nVidia must have spent a considerable amount of time and effort designing the CPU and deciding the optimal operational parameters to maximize performance while minimizing battery drain. Therefore anything out of those parameters (in theory at least) should impact either stability, or battery life. Perhaps the values HTC has decided are not the maximum possible values , because I assume they would have designed the phone to handle few exceptional conditions (i.e: extremely hot weathers). But I think over clocking would probably cause more problems in the long run than whatever the little gains you experience in short term. Just my 2c.

I tried faux 007b5, so overclock free too, I had 1.55ghz indeed, but never for quadcore, just for single or dual. Sadly I wasn't able to reach 1.5ghz quadcore but 1.4

Can you check, with tegrastats, if you reach 1.55ghz quadcore or only for 1,2 (or3??) cores?
