Guest Paul Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I've installed my 'Set CPU for Root Users' app from the market, and although it doesn't let me set anything (not root), it does show the speed etc. correctly. I think when / if we can root, we can under / over clock :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest griffo_001 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Any word on whether Set CPU works now the liquid has been rooted? I'm torn between this and the HTC Bravo/Passion/Dragon atm, this looks as if it'll be significantly cheaper, and if it's possible to overclock it i may well end up picking up a black model when they go on sale next year ;) The only things that are stopping me are the fact you don't get the full 1GHz, and the fact it looked quite cheap [but having seen 2 unboxings I'll retract that last bit] Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 It works for underclocking, but won't go higher than 768MHz... Seriously tho, I don't think I need it any faster, more interested in prolonging the battery! ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest netnerd Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 No .. I think I would really like 1GHz ... what is the next step to get it working at 1Ghz? i want it a 1Ghz too! are you kids homeless? i dont need longer battery life! i can charge my phone whenever i go! at home, car, hotel, etc !

Guest Skerved Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'd like a longer battery life too, and if it works good at a lower frequency, why not? If I'm at a train or bus trip without a power outlet, I wanna be able to use it! And that even if I forgot to charge it just before I go. Also, at such trips I tend to use it more then usual. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lisinge Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Have you came any further about this? Do you guys have any idea on how to overclock it? Allso what do you think i should set my lowest clock speed in SetCPU to get the best performance but not running out of battery so fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr.r9 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hey people first post here! Honestly, what applications or games benefit from the O.C? In my opinion, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goa200 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hey people first post here! Honestly, what applications or games benefit from the O.C? In my opinion, nothing. From a benchmark pov id find it interesting to clock it to a maximum. Otherwise everything runs smooth even at 576 mhz for me atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 At 576MHz it feels like the Droid. ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lisinge Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 At 576MHz it feels like the Droid. ;) P Well, i never experience anny lag ;) But Do i need to have setCPU running in the background for it to work or can i kill it through Taskiller and it will keep the min and max settings running?

Guest dsjr2006 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 How is the battery life with it underclocked?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maxisma Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Okay, if its impossible to overclock atm, Acer scaled it down in their Kernel. You guys would have to request the Kernel source which is under GPL, so they HAVE to release it. This way people will be able to mod it to allow 1 GHz.

Guest tomdotcom Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I've always underclocked my HTC Magic to 128/128 during Screen off. Hopefully it works at 245/245 for the snapdragon as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah, i'm using SetCPU to clock mine to 245/245 when screen is off! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chingy1788 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 at 245/245 when screen is off, hows the battery life? I'm still quite hesitant of rooting... Is there a way to unroot? how easy is it to brick it? I seem to get a max estimate of 12-16 hours out of my liquid... The old G1 could last 24hrs+, on a 1600mAh battery though I wonder when we'll see higher capacity batteries for the liquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zonk76 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah, i'm using SetCPU to clock mine to 245/245 when screen is off! P At what speed does it run with screen off/in standby without underclocking? And is there a noticeable longer battery life if underclocking?

Guest blc Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 You don't need to use SetCPU with Liquid. It uses "ondemand" cpu frequency governor by default, so it's always 245MHz when idle (not only when screen is off, but also when you don't press anything). To my acknowledge it is not possible to overclock with this kernel, because it currently supports only 4 cpu frequencies: 245/384/576/768. From dmesg: <6>[ 0.273333] Max ACPU freq from efuse data is 768000 KHz <6>[ 0.273980] ACPU running at 768000 KHz <6>[ 0.274000] 4 scaling frequencies supported.

Guest B1ny Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 This phone have so much power now running at 768 MHz, that I am really looking forward find out what it will be at higher MHz :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Seth Cold Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 well well, anyone tried the new 1.43a version?? seems they updated something for the liquid and then the nexus... so i guess thats more support for snapdragon... 1.4.3: Includes compatibility fixes for HDPI devices and UI enhancements. Frequency lists for the Samsung Moment (untested), the T-Mobile Pulse, and the Acer Liquid have been included. The application will no longer sometimes re-set CPU frequencies upon launch. 1.4.3a: Added more frequencies for the Nexus One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
