Are there anyone here that is overclocking their phones?
I know back in the days we all dabbled in the pc overclocking but these smartphones are pretty impressive in their specs.

I know it seems pointless but but these are my results lol

Motorolla Atrix 4g dual core 1.4ghz, 1gb ram benchmarking at 7502 using CF bench. (max cpu temp at 52degrees which is pretty good.)

PS im using setcpu.

I think the samsung galazy s2 comes with standard dual core 1.2ghz so lots of potential.
 
My single core Xperia Play @1.5GHz weighed in at 4057 using your benchmark tool, but the doomkernel is capable of 2GHz, but don't want to risk it, using no frills OC tool

But always overclocked my Android phones, my HTC Hero was clocked @ 719Hz
 
Any effect on battery life when it's over-clocked?

I suppose it would depend on the load and how the overclocking util is set up, since various governors are available to use, of which I use the 'on demand' one, but the XPlay has a really god battery anyway.
 
I overlooked then under volt. I get about 2 days heavy usage out of mine. I used to struggle to get 1 day on stock so it's an improvement.
 
I overclocked my Desire and had it set to "on demand". Benchmarks, etc went through the roof. Real world, it seemed a little nippier, maybe. I did notice that when you loaded copilot, the "hour glass" took a little less time to disappear.. Maybe 1/2 second.

My Xoom however is a different beast. Running at 1.ghz, it is very much different from the shite that Motorola released it with. As already mentioned, keeping the voltage as low as possible left my battery life at the same levels without the overclock.


Only word of warning to anyone that wants to play... NEVER set the "set at boot" or equivalent until you are totally happy with your settings. If it's set, and you over do something, you nearly always get stuck in a infinite boot loop. Either a hard reset, or reflash will be the only way out
