There's some apps on the market that can makes phone CPU goes faster and push it to its limit, and mine is called overclock widget.
One quick question here, does this app shorten G1 CPUs life? will it harm the CPU in the long run? If so, how much the damage it could cause??
My G1 is a little bit lag, i consider to use this app, but if it shortens the CPU life, than it's not worth it and im okay with the lag.
You can't OVERclock your G1. You can only clock it to its rated frequency. The processor is rated at 528Mhz, but when it's distributed, it's set to run between 245-384. So it's UNDERclocked when you buy it.
The process is made to run at 528Mhz, so you can safely do it. It will decrease your battery life, but won't hard your processor.

lol then I feel dumb now that I used "overclock" word without knowing what it means. Haha
Thank's for the confirmation.
So even if I clock it to min = 528, max = 528, it will not harm the CPU at all?
Will it makes the CPU Hot for always clocking the rate to the max??
Yes, it will increase in temperature.
Typically, you don't want to run it at its maximum speed continually. Just for short bursts as needed. That's what automatic clock scaling is for.

I see, Okaay, I will use it when I need it then, if 128-384 mb is the default rate by HTC, then I think it's the best freq rate for the phone...
Thanks for the info guys =)
For the record, you are "overclocking" it. It's clocked at a specific speed in stock format and you're OC'ing it from that.

Wrong...
As quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclock - "Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer." Maybe as specified by HTC, but on actual terms, no, it's not overclocked.

lol @ proving yourself wrong.
I preordered my G1 and rooted it as soon as possible, fully charge it atleast once a day and keep my overclock widget set to 528 min - 528 max.. My phone holds good charge and works fine more than a year later

HTC made the phone, but not all of the components. Qualcomm made the MSM7200A processor, and they set the recomended frequency at 528 Mhz. Anything lower then 528 should therefore be considered an underclock, and anyhting over should be considered an overclock.
OT, overclock is completely safe until a point. A company will test its products way harder then what consumer use for it would be. For example, if you were building a house in which the roof weighted a ton, you would use wooden walls that was designed for a ton. But, say that the roof is a little more then a ton, 1.001 tons, would the walls break? No, they would not. Qualcomm probably tested the processor much higher then the recomended values and set the maximum low enough so that they would not have issues about consumers with bricked hardware. My phone runs perfectly stable at 652 Mhz, but I cannot comment on battery life as my phone has always sucked way too much more then normal, even when I was still on stock. Setting it to say 160000 max and 528 min would be perfect for your phone without any risks.

For the most part, unless you are planning on using your phone for a decade or so, you should not worry too much about the effects of increasing your processor clock speed.
You will notice an increase in temperature, in fact it is actually quite significant and a bit scary. If I recall though, seeing performance charts, increasing the clock speed on the Qualcomm processor does increase performance, but really not by a significant or (correct me if I am wrong) discernible amount.
I know this contradicts a bit with what I said earlier, but its more of just my own theory and that is I believe the heat from the processor probably would be fine for the processor itself, but I don't know about the other components. The temperature actually does get so hot to the point where it would be uncomfortable to have the phone on your lap. I have a hybrid silicone/plastic case on my phone and it expands by ALOT when the processor is clocked to 528Mhz from the heat.
So what's the best solution?
I just bought an HTC Dream on Ebay. As soon as I get it I plan to unlock and flash CM6. Will it come with overclocking software? If so, what's the best way to get the performance when it's needed and otherwise let it underclock?

you best bet is to use setcpu 2.0.2 and it wont come with it
I would just like to put a little clarification note in here about the definition of overclocking....
Fact is that the rated maximum clock speed is/may_be based on certain IDEAL conditions and that a particular APPLICATION of that component may have a lower rating as a result of its characteristics. Specifically, knowing that speed makes HEAT, one could rate a CPU at LOWER than its manufacturer's spec in order to keep it within the heat envelope.
I am not saying that that is what is happening in this case, but it could, along with battery life, be part of the equation that led to them setting the clock below the chip's maximum rated speed.
So from this perspective, bringing the clocks up to 528 COULD IN FACT be considered OVERCLOCKING.
Further perspective, the processor if considered as a stand alone device is rated at 528MHz, so those terms the processor is underclocked when running at a lower frequency
However if you look at the processor as a component part of a larger assembly, then the manufacturers defined speed is set by other concerns than merely that of the processor's designed rating, and in this context running it at higher speeds than the device's rated speeds would be considered overclocking.
It all depends on perspective, from Qualcomm's perspective, HTC underclock the processor, from HTC's perspective, we overclock if we raise the clock frequency above that which they rate the assembly at.
And as we are talking of a multilayer PCB with components on both sides, what is the heat rating of the components on the opposite side of the PCB to the processor? I don't know, but I bet HTC does, and that may be a factor to consider, the processor may not fail, but what of the surrounding components?
And for the record, I use setcpu, and have it scaled for 160-528, it does heat up under heavy use, but not so much that I worry unduly, as has been said, HTC probably do take the heat envelope into account, as most manufacturers do, and most take the safe approach, and prefer to stay away from the edges of the envelope.
So unless you plan to peg your cpu clock at 528 or nothing, it should be safe enough, and will not reduce the life of the device significantly.
I am sitting here, testing my battery drain in "nothing going on" mode. Phone is on but asleep, WIFI/GPS/3G all turned off. I'm actually having trouble getting the battery to lose charge - wish we always had THAT problem. Anyway, it's not of much use in this fashion, but I did want to establish a baseline.
My specific question is about processor modes. I have a kernel (I assume, not the ROM) with an associated voltage control app. In that app, I can manage my clock speeds. The question is: would I theoretically get better battery life by limiting my clock to lower speeds? And if no one has done this test, or knows the answer in theory, can we discuss the best way to provide a constant processor drain on the phone (although one that isn't tied to speed like I assume many of the tests would be) so that I can make the observations in a reasonable time span - a sixty minute test that drains 20-30% of the battery would seem to be about what I'm looking for. As I said above, with nothing going on, I haven't drained a single % off the battery in 90 minutes.
I do a lot of backpacking and hiking, and the ability to use the phone and its GPS over a period of 5 days without carrying 5 spare batteries would be a real godsend.
There is a thread on here somewhere that lowering the clock speed actually increases battery consumption under load, as the processor has to work longer to do a task.

Don't lower too much for any reason. For e.g., if u have a overclocked kernel at 1280, u could scale it down to 1000, but don't go beyond that. Values over 800 are used very less unless there is a task demanding that much CPU.
Plus, by math, a task that takes 5 seconds at 1280 speed would take 8-9 seconds at 600-800 levels. So I wouldn't recommend reducing clock speed to such levels, even in standby mode.
I haven't found the thread about underclocking increasing battery drain, but it seems most people believe that canceling overclocking, and also undervolting, will extend battery life. I'll fool around with that for a while.

Yes. Cancelling overclocking means setting at 1000 from 1200 and 1280 or other speeds over 1000.
Under-volt to some extent, but not too much, esp at higher speeds.

Yea, in theory, if you under-volt too much, it's going to stress the device to meet the action requirements for the required action. Right now, everything on the phone is calibrated to run on around 3.7v or just a little bit lower, so if a certain process doesn't acquire enough voltage or suck enough amperage from the battery, you'll get one of the common results: 1)Random shutdowns or 2)Battery drain.

It would lead to stress on CPU too 'cos it would be like putting regular gas and expecting peak hp out of a sports car. I can notice a difference in pickup and power between regular and premium gas in my car when I need quick pickup. For normal use it performs good, but u never know when u need that optimum power. Same with our phone CPU too.

Great analogy..... But..... You can just disable the knock sensor in the car and bypass the OBDII codes that pop up Yes, I am a gearhead lol. But in a sense, this is exactly what we are doing to our phones, trying to run with the minimum and expect the maximum.
And that brings me to this quick fix: Undervolt as much as possible, install a Nitrous Express kit for those times when you're in need of optimal power
I just don't mess with the OC and UV personally. I'm running everything based off of jk4 with Setiron's kernel with the standard lag-fix that's pre-applied with it, and I got rid of any... hmmm, I don't want to say "useless" apps, but I guess unnecessary or unproductive for me. If I show off my phone, people see how quick it is and like the customization of my launcher and how cool it looks, that's about the flashiest thing on my phone, but once you open the app drawer, it's all business.
In some games i get lag spike like gta san anders play on medium seatings and rawensword 2 i use game tuner but not help . how to increase performance for gaming maybe custom kernel or overcloking if its possible for it or some kind programs I'm new in android staff.
If the graphics on the 815 don't work for you then surely don't replace it with an 813/819. The GPU is supposed to be better on the one you have.
I don't think these are gaming tablets really. I don't know any that are but that's not my thing. They do have more RAM and better screens than most other tablets.
any other option ?
Maybe Apple is better for gaming? I really don't know. Hopefully a clueful individual will answer you. I am too new to the whole tablet world to know much.
i find gltools maybe its improve performance i see a lot of video of it . but its need root access? who have experience from it ?
I guess you could change the thread title and perhaps get more help.
bump any suggestion? i need to improve performance for some games not to much a bit game now rawensword runs 20 fps sometime drops to 15 in fights :/ i like to boost to 30 fps any suggestion i try different programs but no luck :/
The issue is simple. The Exynos version throttles like mad with continuous high usage (games and video SW rendering). And you can do nothing about it. From what I read, the snapdragon version doesn't throttle as bad/at all. I recommend switching to android 6 if you haven't done that already, as it increases the performance by a little bit, as well as setting the resolution in those heavier game to 50% and force capping the frame rate to 30.

I've had the exact opposite experience.

It's certainly peculiar. I couldn't play Asphalt 8 for too long without setting the resolution all the way down to 50%(1024x768). At 1080p it'd start lagging really bad on me in about 3-4 minutes at best. That doesn't mean it doesn't have an adequate overall performance, it's flying, but anything as heavy as asphalt or worse would bring it to its knees.
strange in asphalt 8 i have no lag run rely smoothly only san andres and rawensword run not what great san andres 25~28 medium graphic rawensword 22 in fight with max distance other setting cant change.
For 5.1 I was using optimal rom found in development section. He also made a kernel you could over clock with synapse support found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/nn-kernel-lp-t701-t3309570.com With synapse you can force the gpu to over clock along with cpu. Download synapse from market. In setting developer options turn off hardware overlays ticking that on will use the gpu for rendering. Off (default) cpu. At least that is my understanding. Some games work better with it on others off. Minecraft on I got 60fps at 2nd highest view distance using customers textures. Yet terraria would stutter on certain conditions but never a problem with it turned off. Warning though it will make your device hot where the cpu is. I've got no idea how well you're games will play as I have never played them. I did get a noticeable difference from stock vs the above. So maybe it's an option worth trying.
Hm thx for advise but i read all posts but i don't see anything say it's for 6.0 marshmallow and my it's sm-t815 lite version i only see 810? Maybe its work for my device ?
Might be too different. Not sure.
http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/676f391aa
You have mobile data and I just have WiFi. Everything else seemed the same.
On my xoom it was from Verizon I flashed WiFi only rom and kernels. Lost mobile data but all was fine. As long as the kernal matched the rom. Worse case recover backup or Odin MM back on it. Just use the kernel with a 5.1 810 rom plus whatever you need to root it. I used that kernel with a few different romps but never cm since that's liable to be experimental still on my death bed. So it felt compatible with any 810 rom. If I was you and didn't mind losing cellular data I would treat it as an 810. Maybe do a bit more research and make sure they really are similar.
its same i see ok but one question if i flash this kernel how much i can improve performance like gta san andres can i play max at normal frame rate become on max now i have 17~21 fps i ask it become i was thinking its wort or not don't want to lose warranty
If you don't want to lose warranty then stock it is. That's my advise. I highly doubt you would break it but still if you dropped it in get it. You want that available. I've seen root options that don't trip Knox but I didn't care to research because I didn't have a warranty. I knew using ct auto root would void warrenty (method I used) before doing it. Search for different rooting options to 810.
I get not wanting to void warranty but if you're over clocking it, rooting, accept it as a trade off. You replied before I edited my last post so maybe reread. They are slightly different.
um when how about performance in gaming ? there i mention it i read it make 2.0ghz for 4 core and for others 1.5 or 1.6 it make huge boost in game or just small i rely care about it. ?
That sounds right. And the gpu goes up to 700hz. I think stock is 600. I don't play the games you are so can't say for sure performance but it was noticeable for me. I set both cpu min 1,000 max whatever max it allowed like you mentioned. So if it needed cpu it was there. Gpu I did max because there is a noticeable difference going from 600 to 650 to 700. Put the min as the max. Then toggle on turn off hardware overlays. Other games preferred the opposite. Max cpu for both and min close to max, whatever for gpu and no toggle for turn off hardware overlays.
Don't do max cpu and max Gpu. To much heat without any improvement. Pick one or the other as max, other one able to if needed. Here is what I ended up with.
Mine craft liked the first option. Not sure what it was playing at before over clocking. Maybe 30-40 fps while flying in creative mode. Got up to 60 fps no stuttering unless I was at a huge super dense forest biome where you couldn't see the ground. Probably used 25% per hour. I know mine craft doesn't sound like much but I had fancy on (transparent leaves), 128bit textures, 2nd highest view (it was far), and flying really fast in creative. Even bought a controller because of it. Though it actualy plays and feels better without. To wierd.
Terraria preferred all cpu so second option. Again you think but it's 2d. It isn't optimized by any means. Even on pc that game uses more then one would believe. I played at 60 fps with no slowdowns on second option. Without over clock it would stutter fairly easily vs completly smooth. It felt like whoever programed the cpu made sure they never gave enough power at any given time as a cruel joke. With synapse I could set the min as max and over clock it.
All I can say in the end it is noticable. It was enough to get 60fps. For a 2d game, it wasn't worth playing unless it was so. Download terraria dig a bit underground, get some lighting going and some enemies. Notice the wonderful stutter and ask why, it's 2d. Then you can decide if that vs 60 fps is worth the void warrenty and possibly broken device achieving it.
can y try gta san andres on max with overclock your system ? i'm rely curios
No.

Hello guys, I've got the OnePlus 5T and I was looking to upgrade to the Red Magic eventually but after watching that speed test video https://youtu.be/okGb8lqg8fA I don't see the RM being any faster and the active cooling seems to be a gimmick of some sort as it runs hotter than the OnePlus 5T as shown in that video. I know the firmware is not final but I seriously doubt they'll do any miracles especially in the stock version...but in the same time I'm scared of getting the Chinese version because it probably won't support Play Store and so on. What do you guys think, should I keep the OP5T?
Well hopefully we'll see more optimization before long on the RM. I haven't had any heat issues, and it has seemed cooler than most. Even when I was running an app to intentionally drain the battery by activating everything it didn't get that hot.
Overall for general performance, you won't see much performance difference between the two. They use a lot of the same components. Theoretically you should see some performance gains with game boost on because it locks the last four cores to their max frequency. No operations used trying to dynamically adjust. Really depends on if the app would even benefit from the frequency boost though.

I guess if the game button triggers the full potential of the CPUs that's why it heats up more than the OP5T which never runs on 100% but somehow manages pretty much the same frame rates. You must be right about whether an app can actually utilise the full potential or not.

How much battery and CPu temp you have while idle?
The 90 Hz refresh rate seems to be taking a toll on the batterylife of OnePlus 7 Pro even when equipped with a 4000 mAh battery.
As MKBHD reviews , 4 and half hr of SOT is definitely not great. (Skip to 06:37)
Just wait for more reviews.
the review of the verge stated completely the opposite. Battery life depends so much on the use.. Keep wifi on with mobile data, gps and everything and it drops way faster. Keep a bit of attention what to keep on, lower the brightness just 10% and you get easiliy a screen on time more.

How to well setup the phone to get good batterylife I'm well aware. , it's just that no one should be compelled to turn this phone into a dumbphone to get good batterylife as the refresh rate is not downgradable.
Let's hope more and more reviewers/users do not get similar results like Marques. :good:
*edit: Refresh rate is downgradable to 60Hz.

You can turn to 60 hz in the settings and also 1080p. So you can get better battery when needes.

True that MKBHD always gets low due to his "usage".
We also see that, he gets more batterylife in phones like S10+, way more in P30 Pro etc..so OP7 Pro's endurance would mostly fall below those chart toppers - should suffice most users.

That's a "workaround" at the cost of sacrificing the USP of the product itself- OnePlus has been so hyping and bragging about.
So you buy a 90hz phone but use it at 60hz to save battery haha. I remembered the old days when ppl buy a car they want a $2000 ac option but rarely use it because the car wont last long
In one review it was said that Oneplus is currently working on an adaptive refresh rate (and probably also resolution), which would lower it automatically when unnecessary: For example, if you watch a youtube video thats 20min long you don't need the 90Hz as you'll barely touch the screen and there is no 90Hz content. That would be the ideal solution.
It might, but I am sure the optimization of the OXYGEN system will handle that perfectly!

1. It's the "possibility" of a "Dynamic Refresh Rate" OnePlus is working on to push via software update and only FUTURE will tell.
2. "Dynamic Resolution" is the other measure in which, having the screen resolution at full resolution most of the time, it automatically scales down the resolution to 1080p while playing 1080p content.

"OnePlus 7 Pro vs Samsung S10 Plus / iPhone XS Max / P30 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9 Battery Life DRAIN TEST" :
Just give the phone a few weeks after some updates im sure op7 pro will be better in terms of battery! the phone just released yesterday guys..calm down
No matter what phone I purchased since the good ole days, "5 years ago" when batteries were replaceable I have never been happy with battery life. Why does everybody who builds devices have to make batteries as thin as possible ? An extra 2 to 3 mm if they can give me an extra few hours before looking for a charge is better that a super slim device. Now even they worst case was true 4 hours screen on time, I rarely use my phone four hours a day, the battery life should be fine.

Adaptive battery somewhat works in my Galaxy S10 Plus I believe.
When it comes to OP, only time will tell about that "Dynamic refresh rate" ...these terms though ? reminded me of "Intelligent Pixel Technology" with the OP5T's secondary camera and it was anything but what it was meant for.
...Let's see. ?
I'm averaging about 6 hours SOT but I haven't done anything too intensive. I'll have to wait and see on battery but I haven't been disappointed at all.
