Are reboots the only indicator for wrong settings or freezes also ?
[Defy General] pituca292:
Sorry for the off topic, but what program do you use to get this "bechmarks" (or quadrant, i don't know the correct name) and to get this comparisons?
[Defy General] vap_66:
Quadrant Standard Edition is the used benchmark. You can find it in the Market, and it's free.

[Defy General] Izak80:
Some guy on Youtube mentioned that Android 2.2 automatically overclocks the cpu of the Defy to 1GHZ, is this true?
[Defy General] starbright_:
Maybe a bit OT, but do you know some app that show battery current, CPU clock, and/or CPU load in the upper status bar, so that it is visible all time?

Especially to see the actual current that drains the battery can be very interresting.

There has been a wonderful BattClock app for WinMob that I miss now.
[Defy General] vap_66:
No, it's still at 800 mhz.

[Defy General] Izak80:
I've now dared myself to root my Defy and install Setvsel and raised Vsel3 from 800MHZ to 1GHZ while lowering the voltage from 58 to 52. I've also runt the built-in stability-testprogram a couple of minutes and this is the result Core 1 successful runs: 4, temperature at steady 35 Celsius. Is that an ok result? If i would like to keep it should i check the box that says "Apply@Boot" or just "Save&Quit"?

Sincerely

Isak from Sweden
[Defy General] yggde:
I run 1000 at 48 so it should be fine. But, a couple of minutes is not good enough for testing. You should consider 15 min at least!
[Defy General] yggde:
Apply@Boot to benefit from it after rebooting.
[Defy General] Izak80:
Ok thanks :) Do you think i could go even higher, say 1100MHZ at the same voltage (52), without harming the hardware?
[Defy General] yggde:
I tried 1200 60 and 1100 55 for several days without any issue.
[Defy General] Izak80:
Ok. But with Vsel3 voltage set to 52 and the frequency: 1100MHZ, do i wear out the cpu quicker then if i keep it at 800MHZ or do you think it's pretty much the same? Thanks for you earlier reply by the way ;)
[Defy General] adida101:
I use the following settings and my Defy runs like a BEAST, 2900 on quadrant and improved battery life from the default settings. Running CM7 RC1v2

[Defy General] Izak80:
For how long have you been using these numbers? From what i've read 1200MHZ is way to high in the long run.
[Defy General] mesterke:
im jealous few ppl getting clocks like 1200@57

mines: 350@20/600@30/1000@53

and im curious whats the highest safe vsel?(for omap3) we should consider looking at other devices default vsels like droid,droidx,droid2,galaxy s

and watch out running stabilitytest is not 100% accurate test your clocks in everyday use because even if stabilitytest runs successfully for an hour your phone can crash after 10min of youtube

[Defy General] JvVuren:
Intresting to see the wide range of settings people are reporting. One would have thought that there would be a dominant setting that works best for most people. But apparently no.

What's more intereting is that most people fail to report actual, measured results of how much their settings have extended their battery milage.

Surely, playing with these settings is not a game. There should be a more important purpose behind it. Or perhaps it is just a game for some which defeats the purpose of this significant app.

If you do report your milage, please specify under what load it was measured.

Here are some screenies. =)

Posted from my Defy
[Defy General] mesterke:
Wow that was like a letter, expected from a british.

kinda hard to measure the difference every time i change a vsel, and its not a game its about getting the max out of your device thats all this is about.

now im running at 300/20,600/30,1100/58 my battery mileage is 2days and few hrs with wifi always on and 30min calls,30min web browsing,5sms,30min online game/day however i recommend using 1000mhz for vsel3 with low vsel and ocing vsel1 to 350mhz or more because the phone is using vsel1 most of the time it really gives a difference when you launch an app suddenly.
[Defy General] JvVuren:
Thanks mesterke, that was very useful. Seems as if setVsel is very effective. Hopefully others will post similar details as you have. What battery mileage difference did you find between vsel1 300 and 350mhz? If it is a lot I might try it myself.

What about phone effect if we use 1.2G for long time? (Hot,battery life,CPU hard work , ...etc)

I don't know to much about phone overclock. I compare with computer only.

Thanks
[Defy General] K3n H1mur4:
Phone runs stable at 1.2 GHz with an apropriated VSel. It's not recommended that you run it at max power at the whole time, because phone gets too hot, battery life turns into crap, and it may severely reduce the CPU's lifetime.

The word is: use VSel 1 (300 MHz with 20 VSel is stable, using it here for a few weeks now) while screen is off (SetVSel has an option for this), VSel 2 in a daily basis (social networking, web browsing, playing simple games - like klondike -, etc) and VSel 3 when you need an extra bump of power (like when playing heavy games, like 3D FPS or racing, or when you need full speed - in my case, when reinstalling apps with Titanium backup right after flashing a new ROM, having the CPU set at 1.2 or 1.3 GHz helps boost up the proccess). The VSels in this thread may help you get a safe margin for your CPU clocks and powering.
[Defy General] jikko65:

[Defy General] adida101:
I really doubt this will affect the longevity of the phone. The time scale you're talking about is a lot longer than the phone's useful life span. The phone will be obsolete long before the CPU dies running at 1200MHz. To answer your question, I've had it at this speed for about 4 months without any problems.

2390 is pretty reasonable, I 'forgot' to mention (or likely I was just showing off) that this score was only after running Quadrant 3 or 4 times in succession, which generally increases your score for reasons I'm not technologically knowledged enough to know. I think it has something to do with the system optimising itself for the quadrant test after it's been run a few times.

Everything great, twelve hours since disconnected from charger and battery still at 35%, playing some music, messaging, calling, tons of web and xda-forums surfing and lots of Doodle Jump playing. Never forget the necesary daily dosis of YouTube.

[Defy General] zakoo2:
the omap 3630 can handle up to 1200mhz in the long run, idk bout 1300mhz... just dont get why people need to oc their devices to those frequencies, it causes battery drain, produces way more heat than 1ghz, and where do you actually need it where 1ghz isnt enough?? (i mean, daily use, benchmarks dont count...) my defy can easily handle anything on 1ghz...

I was running lower on all, but random reboots pushed me up a couple of clicks and this seems much better now.

The middle step, whatever it is (I've set it between 600 and 800MHz) and whatever the up_threshold (set between 70% and 98%) just never gets used... 38 seconds from 2 hours up-time so far... it seems pretty pointless, but I can't work out why...
[Defy General] gkai:
It's because of governor. It seems that on demand go from min to max, without going through mid-level....for me smartass seems to do the same, but I did not test it long enough to be completely sure...and the algorithm used by this governor is less clear, so who knows? Now I am on conservative, and it scale much more progressively, with something like 60%min,25%mid, 15%max. performance will stay at max constantly, powersame at min constantly, and I guess interractive is a lot like conservative, but it is less agressive scaling freq down thus stay at high freq more often. I do not have unaceptable lags (maybe because I come from wince6.5...It have to lag A LOT before I find it unacceptable ;-) ) so I prefer to save battery life.

300@20,700@37,1000@52
[Defy General] russtyd:
I'll give conservative a try... I did smartass (and didn't see a difference) and on-demand and interactive, but with broadly the same results (I'm on ondemand at present)... my tolerance to lag is (probably) less than yours, so I'll report back with my findings.... thanks @gkai...

[Defy General] ursoouindio:
I noticed you have been following the pattern VSel1 when screen off, VSel2 when using it on daily basis and VSel3 just when really needed.

My question is, how apps that run on the background behave while the screen is off?

I use my Defy as mp3 player a lot (using Winamp), I wonder if it wouldn't perform badly limited performance to 300 MHz.

And for the others who are looking for the optimal voltages: don't change all VSel at once, change each one and test it for a while.
[Defy General] ursoouindio:
I am unsing Vsel of 14 for 300 Mhz on my Defy running on stock Eclair. It has been running a stress test (StabilityTest, running directly from SetSvel) on that 300 MHz for 50 minutes now and no sign of instability.

Is it normal? Is this test reliable?
[Defy General] mcgz:
I have these values:

20@300

30@600

50@1000

I had these values but it was not stable even if it could normally use a Defy:

15@300

40@800

55@1100

At these values battery survived 115 hours without charging on stock Froyo.

:)
[Defy General] ursoouindio:
I'm using the SetVsel icon on the notification bar and I noticed that it doesn't just stops on the clocks we set the voltages...

Which voltages does it use when moving from intermediary clocks? The same as the closest Vsel or it goes proportional between the Vsels?

Ps: I haven\t noticed any instability with VSel 14 for 300 MHz, but I noticed it remained all the time on the higher clock. I don't know if thats really related, but I have changed back to 16, rebooted and now its fine.

Good battery life, quite smooth and fast and temperature stays between 27ºc-34ºc, when your displays turns off after 300 minutes stays between 21ºc and 24ºc. It is stable for me, trying since last two weeks.

I know settings are still conservative but I'm actively modifying and testing it out. My midrange values seems to be ineffective since I had a couple of restarts, any suggestions?
