sadly i don't have one of these elite-atrix which can stand massive overclocking without at some point reboot because of too much heat.

so i decided to do something against overheating.

what i did was tearing apart the atrix and removing the aluminium part covering the tegra II chip (and no this piece doesnt have any contact to the chip so it doesnt serve as heatspreader).

now i took some spare aftermarket ram cooler and grinded it down to the exact size of the chip.

next step was quite easy: just cut out some part of the inner plastic frame to have some space for the new built "cooler".

last but not least i just put a small drop of thermal paste onto that chip and pressed the new cooler on top. (sidenote: you shouldnt have to glue it. it will keep sticking there because of adhesion)

no i'm going to try wheather this has any effect at all ;) gonna flash some 1.5/1.6 kernel and see if my atrix can handle the speed now

pictures and results follow soon ;) (partly done)

btw any good app to log temps?

Here you go with some pictures (more to come):
[Atrix 4G General] chrism.brunner:
Really cool. You are a brave one....

I might have to try it.

Thanks for the info.
[Atrix 4G General] IUH1991:
Even running at stock speeds the heat management on this phone is horrendous. I actually think the overheating caused my digitizer problems.
[Atrix 4G General] palmboy5:
Interesting, I hope you took some pictures. (and are willing to share!)
[Atrix 4G General] tomh235:
Hahaha, that's epic. Finally a real hardware mod for the atrix, please upload a picture!

I cant wait to see the pictures! XD
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
sorry mates, had no pc around and posting the first 10 times via tablet/smartphone is a pain in the *** ;)

So the results are not that overwhelming but i'll surely try to figure out how to optimize all of this.

Results so far at stresstest

Clockspeed ..................................... Before ....................................... After

1000mhz max....................................working........................................ working

1300mhz max .........................reboot after some minutes..................... working

1450mhz max..........................reboot & bootloop soon.....................reboot after some minutes ... sometimes bootloop

as you can see there already is some slight increase of stability with overclocking, but i think that there can be done even more. just got to find a way how to squeeze even more heatsink into that little case without having to cut out any more ;) will try with aluminium tape and also with some leftover copper heatsink soon ;)
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Copper should be better and maybe some holes in battery cover.

I hope that you're not going to try water cooling :D
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
no but got some copper heatpipes lying around XD

yes some holes in the cover would be better, but i really want to keep the outside stock.

well i also could also varnish some copper-plate into the backcover having contact to the heatsink on the cpu. so there would be a much bigger surface and of course allover masses. but i suppose if you hold this ting in your hand it would be too freaking hot. holding my finger down on that little heatsink while stresstesting can already be painfull. here i'm glad i got that plastic cover in between.

my plans are now to extend the heatsink over msdcard and simcard, since there is some good space left. maybe next days when i'll get home again :)
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Actually copper plate into the backcover is great idea! Don't worry about heat because bigger surface and you still have plastic between heatsink and fingers :)

I did similar thing long time ago with zx spectrum :)
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
well then i need a really thin copper plate wich will not have that good effect on cooling, or i replace some area of the backcover with copper. then there would be heat issue (and aesthetic, too)
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Try to find copper foil or easier aluminum foil. Just be careful to avoid electrical short circuit ;)
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Are you testing with or without the cover on?

What are you using to conduct the stress test?
[Atrix 4G General] upndwn4par:
I know you want to keep it stock, but an extended battery cover would give you lots of extra room and many have vents. Might even be able to squeeze a fan in there for active cooling!
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
atm i'm testing with back cover on. having stable oc only with back cover taken off doesnt make any sense since its unusable as daily driver.

i got some aluminium foil at home and some some fine copper plates.i'm sure i'll be able to work something out.

atm I'm using cm 7.2/miui hybrid with faux's 1450ghz 027b5 kernel. slightly undervolted.

mainly stresstesting with "StabilityTest". after about 10 mins of stresstesting i wouldn't get temps over 65°C still tweaking a bit, then i'll give some benchmarks a go and will see if i can get 1.6 ghz kernel running

still looking for some good tool for logging cpu temps or at least showing on screen/status baar. atm got to switch to setcpu and open cpu info tab to get some readouts.

I'm curious to see how 1.45Ghz kernel and tweaked stock rom will do in webtop-mode. hopefully this will be also run stable since webtop-charging also produces some extra heat. we'll see when i get my lapdock back from motorola ^^

extended back cover would be an option for space as long as i dont want to dock it to lapdock oder cardock, which i do multiple times a day. so no option for me.

i have also thought about adding a fan, but when i think about it, it's way to big, makes noise and drains even more juice. so this is a no-go.

if you would want to do extreme overclocking just for benchmarking this would be an option again. but then we would need a kernel with even higher clocks to get something groundbreaking...

so who starts with a LN2-cooled smartphone ?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Lol, fan is going to drain battery really fast. Only for extreme overclocking. Bigger heatsink, some holes or extended battery cover should be enough.

At the end he's going to overclock with liquid azote :D

Edit: system tuner pro could log data. Try it.
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
stresstesting @1450 faux kernel 027b5

while connected to a 1.6A charger and static 100% cpu-load i get temps of 86°C with the phone freezing.

got to play with some profiles here and maybe even more uv.

thanks for the tip with system tuner pro, looks promising. now i can get more accurate values and also log and see when the device crashes/reboots/freezes, etc
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
86°C is too much! Be careful, don't burn your phone :)
[Atrix 4G General] macaddict01:
lol Could fry some egg and bacon on it!
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
be sure that i know its way too hot. i set up some profiles in setcpu and undervoltet a bit more.

i'm trying to peek at even while powercharging 65° but for that i will have to improve the heatsink. atm i still get about 72 with limit of 1200 when over 65
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
newest update:

i managed to cut the temp down for about 5° in max while on high amps charger and with back cover on by making some construction with aluminium tape and thermal paste. so i guess there can be much more achieved. will surely have to make myself some copper heatspreader since this surely isnt made for a use as a daily driver as i think this will get kind of messy behind the back cover when the thermal paste doenst stay where it sould.... sooo back to work XD

btw had back cover off at one time and had my atriy laying with the heatspreader facing an outblowing fan of my pc-case... temps while stresstesting went down 10 °C XD hmm sadly there is no space for a 120mm fan XD
[Atrix 4G General] m11kkaa:
First time I read the topic's title I thought about a PC-CPU-cooler at the Atrix-CPU.

Could be a little bit oversize'd xD

However - it's a good idea.

Would love to see this work.
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
two pics on the first page 7th post. everithing else was way too messy to take a picture of it :P new pics will come... well wenn its done :P

edit:

ok have made a little copper heatsink... it's not beautiful but well let's say its unique and i hope it does it's job ;)

for now i will stick with it, baybe just polish it a bit up and see if i can tweak the back cover a bit with aluminium foil, i guess this is all i can do for now. all pictures and chart with temps of different cooling solutions and different clockspeeds will be all uploaded to the op. be patient please since the stresstests take some time to get valid values.

btw it would be nice if some of you could also test their temps and post it here, so i can compare and tell if my effort was worth it ;)

and last but not least: any suggestions about how to improve this are well apreciated ;)
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
here you go with some new values:

while on charger:

1000@61°

1200@66°

1300@75°

1450 crashing @ 86°

will now take a closer look at the temps while off charger but of course got to charge completely first, since this thing drains the battery really fast XD

keep in mind i'm trying this on a almost freshly installed rom, so temps may also go down a bit. therefore i will update and also make comparison to (almost) stock
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Thanks for photos. Don't forget that environment temperature plays big part in measurement. Try to ryn every test in the same environment.
[Atrix 4G General] marcovrv:
Hi. The whole point on heat sinks is to maximize the area in contact with air. That's why most have fins or pillars. Believe it or not, one way to maximize area is to make small holes: imagine a little cylinder whose wall area is bigger than top and bottom area. Another way is to make little canals with a knife. In other words, leave flat only the portion in contact with the CPU.
[Atrix 4G General] TravisAntonio:
Well... those are really high temps considering it has everything you have done.

My temps while on charge are:

1000@37°

1200@40°

1300@41°

1450@45°

1500@54~67° (It is not stable at all)

Considering also the fact that my phone is always playing music, I wish I could play with those but my phone is still in warranty :p
[Atrix 4G General] nchantmnt:
Think about the fact that these values are made with the device running for at least 10minutes on max load, while idleing ig also get way lower temps.

Yes good point, spreading the heat onto a bigger object but not letting it cool down eount help much. Soon to be changed ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imablackhat:
I changed this into a my progress thread. I have verizon and insurance.

I tested everything on the phone over a 24hr period. And here is progress.

Still using phone 2 as of now.

Phone 1 - random reboots.

Phone 2 - proximity sensor failure, vertical banding

Phone 3 - 2-3 screen purple, loses full signal and data then comes back. Few times a day. Basically like a ping out. Timeout. Whatever.

Phone 4 - coming tomorrow 8-15 maybe this one will be good!

Phone four is good so far! No data drops. Good screen. Korean model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killerapl:
I have had 3 replacements. All looked new! No scratches just a little dust hahah. Had to send two back due to weak signal and loss of data. My third one works fine!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
I've had 14 replacements. I've had only one that didn't look brand new and that was due to the protectors shifting when it shipped. They are pristine when you get them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Roxy:
Holy crap.... 14 replacements? Why did you go through so many?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I got my phone replaced once for screen ghosting. I'm almost certain this "refurb" is BRAND NEW. They even re-apply the oliophobic coat. I'm very pleased with Verizons return department and I'm pretty sure the lemons people got weren't verizons fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icebear8:
Every time I get a refurbished from them it all ways has the plastic on the screen and plastic around the edges
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imablackhat:
whats this coat your talking about?

my first replacement was within the 14 day period, my phone was randomly rebooting every day.

this is going to be my third nexus, this time proximity sensor doesn't function even after recalibration and such.

i'm just worried that i'm going to get a phone worse off then my current. since there are so many bad ones out there, and i've heard of horror stories of refurb nexus's on youtube and such.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adamallica:
I would trust a refurb from Verizon over a new unit. They're all tested thoroughly and any parts replaced are new...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imablackhat:
You would think that however there are tons of people who go through more then four replacements trying to get a good one from Verizon. There are videos of un boxing and having issues from first power on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Everything from defective screens to a totally borked antenna. Got one scratched to hell too.

i honestly don't believe this being I was sent a refurb that had a trashed antenna and couldn't ever receive signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imablackhat:
Got my first replacement today everything is working as intended so far.

Edit. Only thing I can find is sometimes radio timeout. I'm on jelly bean. And it'll say full service and 4G or whatever and then ill try to do something with Internet and ill lose service completely timeout and it'll reconnect.

Is this normal? Gonna test it for another day before I return.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
Got a gnex coming overnight from vzw to replace my gf's gnex with a faulty charger port
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Philosophre:
when one reports to Verizon about a fault in the phone and they send you a refurb/recertified phone, do I send them my current phone first or I can just sit on it and ask for a replacement and just walk to a verizon store and return there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
You have 5 days or so to ship the faulty phone back upon receiving your new phone. They pay for the shipping both ways. If it is faulty just tell them you have already wiped data etc....battery pull blah blah blah so they don't make u do it and you aren't tied up on the phone. So glad I pay the $6.99 for TEC from asurion on both my lines. This process the few times I have had to do it is relatively painless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imablackhat:
Just delt with them again on the phone. The woman said I can mail it back tomorrow morning and they will mail the next one out before they receive the old return as in they are going to mail the next one tomorrow as well. Is this true or is she bs.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
I've had three phones out at once before so I guess so
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imablackhat:
Next one comes in tomorrow! Woman on the phone said she flagged my number to make sure they do a good inspection since it's my fourth one. Haha okay lady.

I NEED HELP!

Backstory: I was on Abberation rom 1.2 and it had worked perfectly. When I installed version 1.0 it used the AROMA installer and allowed me to pick a launcher. I chose Apex launcher but I didn't install any other launchers. Superuser worked fine and it had run buttery smooth. Aberration runs Siyah kernel.

The issue: Alright, so today I was listening to music and suddenly my phone turns off. I literally was listening to music and that's it. I rebooted it and it told said "please wait android is updating" and that only happens when I flash a new kernel...which is impossible since I don't even have mobile odin installed. Then, Then it said "unfortunately, apex launcher has closed" and it would keep repeating that message, meaning I had no actual launcher to run anything from. I installed launcher pro over the air via the play store desktop version from my computer. It downloaded but wouldn't run. I got a text from my friend and the messaging app worked fine, I could text him and everything so there was nothing wrong there. Then I get home and let it charge (since it was dead). I return later and see that the battery icon that pops up when its charging and the phone is off has a loading icon on it, but it doesn't actually show the battery level. I tried to boot up, but it wouldn't. It would show a blank screen and then go back to the battery icon with a loading symbol on it. Eventually I tried to go to CWM via the three button combo and I ended up with the stock 3E recovery. I am utterly confused and need some serious help from you guys. I didn't do anything so is it the ROM's fault?

Note: I have had experience in flashing ROMs and I have done extensive research on trying to fix this. I've never seen this happen before. Did it somehow revert back to the stock kernel while it ran Aberration?

Thanks for any support or instructions you can give me. I was thinking about using creepyncrawly's instruction to unroot to stock, but it only works for gingerbread and I'm on ice cream sandwich.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
If you have 3e recovery, then I suppose you have the stock kernel. I have no clue how you would have 3e recovery any other way.

I would suggest you flash back to stock and start over. It doesn't matter that you flash back to Gingerbread, because you will install a custom Gingerbread kernel and then flash whatever you want. I would suggest that you use UCKH7 plus root, and then put a Gingerbread kernel on it. Oh, and just in case, do the wipe data/factory reset in 3e recovery after you flash UCKH7, just in case, you know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lckh:
I'm not a developer but I know from previous roms I've used that there is a touch version of CWM. I'm on wanamlite ICS 12.2 which doesn't use the touch based version. I'm wondering if I can flash a CWM touch version over this existing one on a Phenomenal 5.5 Medium kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No. Recovery is baked into the kernel. Any recovery you flash independently of the kernel will only persist until you reboot. Then it's gone & you're back to whatever recovery is supplied with the kernel.

If you really want touch recovery (why people get barred up over this I have no idea. I mean, how much time per week does one spend in recovery flashing/backing/up restoring...All of 20 minutes ?), use a kernel which has it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lckh:
Never knew that it was a part of the kernel, thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boki9999:
If you want touch recovery, flash Siyah kernel. ;)

I used to format /system every time I flashed a ROM on my gs2, but I saw in the numerous imei threads some posts about not doing so because it may be part of the lost imei issues. Do you do it ? Have you had issues ? I'm reluctant to do so , but feel it will be " beneficial to my flashing" if I did...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] einrae214:
No lie I formatted my system the other day and right after tried to revert to a stock android backup that I made. And wasn't able to do so because it told me M.D.5 sum mismatch after I reverted to it earlier in the day. Huh is what I was like and after that clockwork mod recovery would let me restore a cm10 backup I made said something about couldnt restore system. So out of frustration I went back to being unrooted. Just couldn't take the problems with clockwork mod because that's what where the problems ly. It wasn't me it was the recovery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] einrae214:
None what so ever. I really just flashed the stock back up right before I flashed my gsfree back up so no I made no changes what also ever. Some times when you format systems in clockworkmod recovery this could happen because it happen to me. Can't wait till ext4 touch recovery comes to us here in this forum. Not saying cwm recovery isn't nice but I never had any problems with other recoveries that have been offered.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kid Poker:
There are ways to fix that issue with the MD5 sum mismatch. I've had it happen a few times and ran a few commands thru ADB and got it working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] einrae214:
Yes you are right. But I didn't want to go thru all of that. Really didn't have time so just unrooted my phone so there would be no more problems. I get like alot of people and become flash aholics. So I just stop it from being problem later down the road. Look I like rooting and adding mods to my phone like the next guy but there comes to a point where unnecessary issues can be avoided. Like the one I had.... but on the real tip I really enjoy the phone just the way it is STOCK I have zero issues and love the battery life that I have. So until some cooler roms come out I just don't have interest in cm9 or cm10 base roms. I mean I came from the sensation where I could flash a lot more variety of roms. I like this phone the way it is and really that's why I bought it.
