You were able to find this settings thread, but you didn't search for an answer about flickering?

You double posted in the dev thread too. Please search first. The answers are out there.

I say this cause it's been asked soooo many times.

Screen flicker depends on your Rom, your min frequency settings, your voltages and weather you like disabling hardware overlays

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Yeah it's strange, I haven't had the time to fiddle with my lower frequency voltages but it's weird how those are less likely to be stable with undervolting.... idk why.

I think you should stay stock with whatever makes you crash. It takes so much time sometimes it's not really worth it.

Oh and ditch cpu spy. If you want to be precise there's a file under the path shown in this screen shot. It shows you time in milliseconds for each state for core number one, you can also see core number two

That and use cool tools.... always use cool tools...

Well the phone is still unstable when you set the min/max to lower frequencies like 918 etc, but increasing the mV for 918/864 by 20 has fixed the hot boot problems almost 11 hours and not a single reboot from what i can see. I will try cool tools but so far i think i got my values. My phone hates KT's kernel and KT has said i need a replacement, so for now its good enough until i RMA and can get solid OC/UV.

TIP:

For anyone that wants to see if the phone has rebooted and assuming you don't want to watch it all day until it does. It actually very simple go into System Settings > Battery and then look at the battery graph and look to see if the graph is broken at any point. Single black vertical line going through the entire graph. If you see none and the graph line is solid then it means the phone has NOT rebooted if you see a few breaks then it has, its just the time between the reboot so there is a small break in the line.

v6 supercharge script

I've been following the thread, but have seen any mention of this. Is everyone using the v6 SC script? I wasn't sure if the kernel was compatible. I know the script says it's dependent upon the ROM, but it seems script has some kernel tweaks. I was wondering if the script conflicts what the kernel is trying to do.

Here's my stats from today. My phone rebooted at about 90% battery when I started Google Now (a bit too much UV) and the log of my stats before that got erased. I'd say I had about 50 minutes on battery with 20 minutes of screen time before that happened so just tack that on to these for an accurate representation.

1350/384, ktoonservative/noop, UV -90 across the board, screen off 486. I was on WiFi when I was in my dorm and then on 4G for the 6 hours I was in class and any other times I was out of the room.

My device hasn't been responding well to undervolting..but instead of getting too discouraged, I did some testing and seem to have found my minimum stable voltage requirements at 2106 MHz and 98 MHz. I must admit they're quite confusing though. I did all I could to make my phone cry with benchmarks and browsing the web with loads of gifs, and I got one force close at 2106 MHz at 1200mV. Seems very low for the maximum clock, but 96 MHz is the opposite. It won't accept much less than 800mV (getting odd graphical glitches here and there at 790).

Any pointers? Am I going about the right way testing this? I have a feeling I found my range and it's all downhill from here! :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
Test speeds with setcpu. Info tab, stress test. If that mhz doesn't crash in a 5min test you should be good and go ahead and test the other mhz you think might not be stable.

Adjust voltage and test again till you can test successfully for 5min.

As far as I know, state laws > federal laws.

Aside from recent news. I woke up this morning and decided I'm gonna format my internal sd card. I backed up everything and reinstalled PA 2.5, Gapps 10/11, KT747 10/31,and UCLH9. After flashing and restoring the apps and whst not. I restarted the phone and fixed permissions since I couldn't do it after formatting. I had my phone charged while doing all of this. I go to work and 6 hours later my phone is at 95%. I only used it for 30 minutes with moderate use.

Usually within those 6 hours my battery would be at 65%. I have no idea what caused that. I'm gonna try get some pictures tomorrow to see what the real results are.

I'm amazed that at stand by for 6 hours it only got to 95%. This kernel is awesome.

Ya I used to think so too until they started raiding medical shops in LA, not caring that cancer patients and such are in need of them. I think they closed down about 6/10 shops this year by putting some sort of tax on them for everyday they remained open after they told them to close shop. Tax ended up being more than they made so lots of shops are done for now.

Stability Tests

Stock Voltage Vs. 700mV battery drain + Stability Test @700mV​

The Test: Run a 5 minutes stability test on The frequencies: 1134, 1242, 1350 and 1458. The first time, I tested the stock voltage while monitoring with TREPN profiler. The second time, I undervolted 1134 to 1458MHz @ 700mv still monitoring.

Here is the test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbyXpUyZoLs

I'm not satisfied about this test. If this is right something is wrong with the frequencies undervolting @ 700mV. Maybe I didn't test long enough to notice a difference between stock voltage and 700mV but I did another test and my phone is quite stable with 1134-1458MHz undervolted @700mV

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baconatorXVI:
Hey thank you for taking the time to run tests and share with the community. I'll try and check out your videos later it's to late tonight, I just wanted to comment about voltage and current... I haven't studied enough about high frequency cpu's and their power consumption but I do know a few basic rules about current and voltage.

So the current is quantity of charge per second pudding through a circuit, so to me it makes sense that when cycles per second(frequency of cpu) goes up the required amount of charge per second should go up as well. I don't know enough about current and frequency demands though.

Voltage is the ability to push that necessary amount of charge through, things are fine if there's enough voltage to physically push the charge through the circuit in the desired time, that's where undervolting comes in. If you can get the same quantity of charge per second through without "pushing" as hard (less voltage) then you use less power. Ask the same amount of charge can be moved with less work sometimes. This is why you see no difference in the graph.

If the voltage is too low(not pushing hard enough) not all the charge makes it through which results in bad things. I know it makes miscalculations which are what cause the crashes. I'm assuming it returns a one or zero when the opposite was desired.

So when trepn profile is reporting the same current value that shouldn't be a surprise. It's how hard it's pushing the current(by means of voltage) that matters. That's what affects your battery life.

Unless someone has a better solution I'm about to go tear the back of my phone apart and jam a volt meter into my cpu while it's running. That should prove it for you all right :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] endlessevo:
I would love to see that, also it would be definitive proof but I doubt its worth the trouble.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Using some basic formula of electric physics: V=I*R where V=potential difference(V), I=current(A) and R= resistance(or equivalent resistance of the circuit.

We can easily know the voltage and the current using trepn. The only thing missing is the resistance and I'm not sure if the resistance change with the frequencies.

So, using the formula P=VI , we could find the power (Watts). After that, using either of these formulas: P= I^2/R or P= V^2/R we could, in theory, find the resistance of the circuit.

And maybe prove or disprove the 700mV but I pretty sure I'll have to run longer test if I want real results.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Some screenshot of my battery stats. The same charge as the tests I did last night.noop+abyssplug stock voltage for first 30 minutes then noop+abyss with my under voltage table for the other 30minutes and for the rest, noop+abyssplug(tweaked) undervolted. The luminosity was between 60-100% the whole time, I even watched some episodes of south park plus all the testing. I was on WiFi all the time.

On another note, I'm going to do more testing but this time I will focus on one frequency and I'll run a stability test until the battery drains out. I'll do stock vs. 700mv again, I'm hoping to see so.e more concluant results.

Still wish I knew why some of your phones are doing this. My phone will not really stand for any under-volting at those Mhz steps. I think I made it 2 days once at 1175 for the 1512 step and 1150 for 1458 and 1404 steps. Most of the time it is instant freeze and reboot for me. These phones are 1 bizzare animal :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
If i set my min/max @ 2106mhz and set the voltage @ 700mv, my phone calculates pi to 32K digits and it goes through every stability test.

If if set my min to 96 and my max to 2106 and let 2106mhz @700mv I will eventually freeze and reboot.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chillwill11:
Thank you for your time. Does UC conserve battery. I never notice any lag and my max frequency is 864. Would I conserve the same amount of battery at a higher clock and does the cpu use more resources if I UC -longer amount of time performing task or OC shorter amount o time performing task-
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Basically, for the same task, a higher frequencies will go through faster than a lower one. If you under clock to much you end up burning more battery then if you were stock.The freq is lower but the CPU has to run longer to finish the task. Going under 1134mhz will probably not save more battery considering the voltage for this frequencies is close.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baconatorXVI:
Don't forget the point the display is on the more power it uses. So if you're sitting around waiting for a task to finish you'll use more battery.

Also it'll probably uses both cores when at a lower max frequency which would probably use more power.

This is all speculation though.

Samsung set it to 1512 for a reason. I'll take performance any day
