Overclocking and Apex

[JkdJedi]

My phones' been burning the oil faster than usual since I've updated to Apex 1.3.1, in fact it could of been since 1.3. reading through the other threads here I'm seeing that I'm not the only one.

Now because Fab has integrated Jrummys Overclock app into the Apex1.3.1 update I'm assuming this would be only effecting those w/ the Jrummys Droid Overclock app installed in their phones prior to the update.

Prior to update I had set my phone to reboot at Low Voltage 1ghz setting and that was ok...until the update.

I've come across a command (surfing the web) that will reveal your actual frequency's. I thought id fly with this and see what was under the hood. As I suspected the app was making NO CHANGES TO MY PHONE AT ALL.

This could be an isolated issue w/ my phone but if you'd like to check what you got running try these commands in Terminal.

su
cat /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

I uninstalled my overclock app to go EXCLUSIVELY w/ Fabs overclocking script in Terminal. I'm hoping this might help with the oil (battery) lasting a little longer than 14 hours.

you get 14 hrs? what would you get before? i average 15-20 hours, with youtube, angry birds, and text. Never call. But i do agree. I used to use ApeX 1.3, updated to 1.3.1, and it KILLED my battery, would get too hot.

About that 15-20 hours before apex 1.3.1. And yes it does get hot, up to 106 degrees!
Im hoping my little fix will do the trick if not .....might down grade to 1.3

Running Apex 1.3.1 and JRummy's Droid Overclock app.

Ran the mpu_opps command in Terminal and my phone is indeed responding to changes made to scaling frequencies in Droid Overclock.

With the profiles I have set on my phone, I'm getting about 18 hours of battery life and the temperatures stay in the 85-95 degrees range.

Are there some suggested values to operate at? I've tried o'clockin my X before and anything over 1ghz sends it straight to turtle mode. I'm not sure if its the voltage. I have the larger battery that i bought from the AC store. So batt life really isn't an issue. Although more is better. Is there a significant gain of o'clockin?

To me its just something to entertain myself with, the overclocking. Undervolting however should and could increase battery life. Try the scripts in Terminal if your on Apex. I couldn't do anything over 1.1 until the settings found in Jrummys app that is. They are pretty solid. (I'm just having issues w/ battery life and with the response above its looking like Its not Apex)

Thanks JungleLarry,
I've flashed my phone back and forth these last 2 weeks so its possible that it could be a kernal issue. (Whatever that means lol)

i just went to terminal and looked at the menus...where do i go for o'clockin? what #?

try setting stock voltage for starters (#3),

then after that it gives you a choices of Ghz settings (900, 1 , 1.1, 1.2 , etc)
a safe one would be maybe #7 which is 1.2 Ghz (should be safe, if your phone hangs .....)

JUST DONT SET FREQUENCIES AT BOOT

thats it your overclocked!

To exit just type in #11

you could play with these settings to your hearts content and if it crashes it will/should reboot to stock settings so no worries.

If you find that you do want to keep a certain setting then you would start out with #5 Set frequencies at boot and so on.

LOL...wow. yeah it did hang up on setting7. that sucks...I'll try 6 and see where it goes. thanks for the support

oops. i meant setting#8. and it seems to be stable...now, onto the undervolting. can you push me in the right direction?

Just start out with #2 Low voltage scaling and it will take you to the familiar choices of ghz settings, the same with ultra low voltage scaling.

It's kinda of awesome how Fab incorporated this into the Apex Rom

Should I go low? Or ultra low?

Hey try Ultra Low what the hey....Thats what I'm on now with 1ghz setting. Now if you can get 1.2 on Ultra Low let me know!!

Edit: I just tried it and my phone locked up....lol

yeah...same here. i may just go back to 1ghz and undervolt. 1ghz is fast enough but battery life is way better

Running unstable app. Had issues when trying to set in boot. It would just start up and reboot. I guess the app and rom were both applying different settings at the same time. Set rom to stock and then app to my oc settings with the delay on boot. Works great now.

Grab the seidio 1750mah. That's what i have strapped to my X. Battery life is very niiice
