Motorola DROID overclockable to 1.3GHz. Take that, Nexus One!
A simple guide on how to overclock the ARM Cortex-A8 processor of your Motorola DROID has been posted by areacellphone.com, but it’s not your typical guide though. Actually, these guys say you can have your DROID run at 1.3GHz, which is even more power than what the HTC Nexus One provides with its Snapdragon chipset. Now who’s got the biggest Android brain out there, eh? Seems like DROID users will get to laugh last, but seriously though, we don’t encourage you to toast your device, it’s good as it is, right? Plus, Nexus One owners will never have the QWERTY keyboard you have, so you don’t need to prove your device is better. Anyway, if you are curious about what will happen, check the source link below for a few steps on how to do it.

Droid does ... fry your eggs and heat your coffee in the mornings. Bumping specs a little could be handy if you have an electric outlet or extra battery handy ... otherwise ... hmmmm.

I think that would be handy if I could tether my Droid to my laptop, but other wise, not worth the risk.

Heard of Wireless/USB tether for Root Users? The free app?

@skidodo142 -- I OC'd mine to 800MHz and also set a profile to downclock to 125MHz when asleep and such and am noticing better battery life with the combo as well as dramatically increased speed.

New android user and was just wondering if I wanted to do the same if you could help me out a little bit and tell me how please? Thanks

cool idea.

even if I don't want to overclock my droid, how do you set up a profile to underclock it? That sounds like a neat idea to save battery life.

I overclocked to 900MHz and it running great and I haven't noticed any sigifigant change to my battery life

NEVER have a real keyboard on nexus one..rumors r nexus 2 will HAVE A REAL keyboard..hello!! personally I would think if you overclock ANY cellphone to 1.3ghz...you would need the software to keep up with it so...1ghz=droid 2.1...then 1.3ghz=droid 2.4 (IMOO)

ok, the nexus two is not the nexus one! The rumor is that nexus two is going to be a motorola anyway.

that's sweet.

DROID DOES... shortened processor life from heat fatigue Still, if I had one, I'd void that warranty. Awesome work whoever figured that out!

12. Dadler22 posted on 28 Jan 2010, 15:29

now my question is if you can overclock the driod to 1.3, why couldnt you overclock a snapdragon to more than that speed. And if you really must win against someone with a nexus one just go "wow you have t-mobile, whens the last time you saw that 3G icon light up?"
