i searched the forum bt wasnt able to get an answer which i would understand so cn any body explain me wht is overclocking?
The clock speed of the CPU on the Tilt2 is 528 Mhz. This is the fastest safe speed the CPU is certified for by the manufacturer. Overclocking allows you to make that CPU run faster. Many do this with no ill effects. I've always had random lockups so I do not overclock.
overclocking is...
making a processor run at speeds greater than the manufacturer intended.
so. in the case of the rhodium (touch pro2/tilt2)
overclocking is increasing the 528MHz processor to a higher clock speed.
overclocking the rhodium's processor should...
in turn. increase the performance of the overall device.

Good afternoon!
Many modern processors have such a feature as AMD calls like "Cool'n'Quiet", which automatically decreases work CPU frequency if CPU has no "work" to do and as a consequence, we have less power consumption. Read more here. I just got a thought: what if it's possible on Quallcomm or other CPUs? Battery life would be longer, isn't it?
I have Xperia X1, so I'm interested in Quallcomm, but I know that Quallcomm processors can't be overclocked and therefore MAYBE their frequency can't be lower also. But I have some doubts and want to hear some professional opinions.
Thank you very much in advance!
XCPUSCalar i think it is. A CPU overclocking utility that allows you to adjust the CPU frequency when load increases
There's been a stack of reports of the X1 CPU running at lower than 528MHz so I assume it already underclocks automatically

It's an OVERclocking utility, which Quallcomm doesn't support. But is there anything to make Quallcomm DYNAMICALLY DEcrease its frequency?

Do you have any links to it? Post it please... it's really interesting...
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?
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'm running KT747 (Build 3/14/13) and I'm just wondering what this stuff is and does it affect my battery/performance, and if so how? Thanks to anyone that can help!
Overclocking speeds up main processor past 1.5ghz, kernal must support this function. Underclocking slows processor speed to whatever you set maximum under 1.5ghz. Under is good for saving battery, but can cause lag depending on how you use your phone. Governors control how the processor handles requests, such as opening an app, with on demand gov, processor ramps up quickly, with lagfree gov, processor kinda takes it time, which in return saves battery. If your not comfortable or understand this totally, be careful, search for guides on xda about overclocking and governors. Overclocking can cause bootloops, freezes, or other issues. I overclocked mine to 1.7ghz with no problem, but I'm running Agat kernal.

Hi there. I have a strange "issue" with my phone. Substantially, it looks like I have a chip capable of EXTREME undervolting. For example, gpu running @ 160 mhz and ONLY 700 mV. 533 mhz is @ 925 mV. It's pretty exaggerated in my opinion. I stress tested the gpu with all benchmarks and games that came in my mind at all steps. Same performance but huge undervolting. I am using Thunder Lite v3 and Neak kernel 2.02. I am currently, after 3 hours of messing with the gpu, dedicating myself to the cpu. I am now typing this with four cores active @ 1.6 ghz and, attention, 1000 mV. And there's still room for more...
It's too much in my opinion, so this may be a stupid question. Is this normal? Are there any powerful stress tests I may use? I am using multiple runs of Antutu at the moment. Is there a way I can verify the voltages I am applying are actually corresponding to what the cpu gets? It's too much in my opinion. I could have some huge luck, but I doubt.
