I put a static heat sink taken from an old scraped computer on my cell phone (Galaxy Note 2).
Result: CPU at 69C with continuous overclock 1.8ghz x 4 CPU with undervolt 1250mV WITHOUT throttling. I use "performance" governor.

Throttling occure at 80C OR with suddent raise of temperature over 60C.

When I close the screen, the CPU slows downs on Galaxy Note 2. I tried all options and setings. Did someone got it running full speed with screen closed? How?


Ok, I got it.
When going hot, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will half the CPU Frequency or shut 2 cores from 4. There is no setting to ajust that.
So I managed to avoid tregering that by using 1.4ghz max (vs 1.6) and undervolting it. CPU Temperature is now 55C instead of 70-80C. Now I can run at that speed continuously.
Sad because it can go up to 2ghz.

Much work has been put recently into integrating the previous Android work into the main Berkeley release of BOINC.

Look for v7.0.53 (or later) at the foot of http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php


Hooo, thanks to showing me that alternative Boinc ARM client. But it can't download tasks on Milkyway as NativeBoinc do. So I can't even try it.
