Processor Speed

Hi
Is there an area on the xda2s where you can maximise your processor speed? On my old Dell x3 you could choose 'max perfromance' or 'conserve battery' etc.
It's just for a 400mhz product it gets quite slow sometimes..........
Apologies if this has already been asked....I did search for it but couldn't find anything...
Thanks in advance,
HPJ

Your right for a 400Mhz it's sometimes slow ... d'ont understand it ...
My previous device was a 400Mhz aswell, and was much faster.
Maybe it has something to do because it has a build-in phone?

Have you tried
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...4&sectionId=3287&catalog=30&topSectionId=3274

won't it damage the cpu of our pda?.
regards

Not if you dont push it too far! It defaults to 472MHz max, you can switch off this limit and take it further. Mine is stable at 472MHz, never tried to take it further. Overclocking generally wont damage the CPU unless you are daft. As a rule, the PDA will just crash if you take the clock speed too far. The crash may mean a hard reset if you are unlucky!
In short you can kill the proc through overclocking, but its unlikely.
One point to note is that the 'auto scale with cpu load' option on xcpuscaler is a load of [email protected] Does not seem to work at all.
I mainly use xcpuscaler to slow down my proc to 200MHz, dont need 400 MHz to read avantgo or an ebook, or listen to an MP3, but running at 200MHz does give a reasonable increase in battery life.

I have installed the xcpus..., do I configure it so that it varies the speed automatically, but is it always constant to 400 mhz??
does somebody know because??
thank you

XCPU2.85
Anyone has a copy of XCPU2.85 which is not trial version. Mine has expired.
2.82 does not work in 2nd edition.

Try using Pocket Hack Master from Anrom Tomov. Runs good on the QTEK 9090. See www.handango.com

A little note
Dunno if any of you realize this but be careful should you decide to remove pocket hack master..
i noticed that it does not clear the registry of its CPU settings... i found this out by uninstalling the software (after setting cpu speed to 472)... and when i reinstalled it again.. the software defaulted to 472 mhz..
make sure you go to the registry to get rid of some of the settings... just do a registry search for anton and remove the reg entries..
sorry if you guys already know this.. and i don't know if left behind registry keys mean anything if the software is not active but better be safe than sorry right? and i'm a noob here so just trying to help out

Overclocking Hermes wm6

Is there a preferred tool/utility that's compatible with wm6 (if it matters?) that will let me overclock my hermes?

I was under the impression that the Hermes wasn't really overclockable...

I played with the trial version of Hack Master, I set it up under/over clocked. I got some screen flicker when underclocked below 300mhz otherwise it seemed like it worked, I didn't try any benchmarks though. Give it a try. I'd be surprised if it doesn't work for you.
I don't know about WM6.1 though. I tried it on WM6

there is no way to overclock hermes. the procesor change it speed accord the needest of procesing. the can vary trougth 100 to 400 mhz. the hacker master software only show the speed but it doesn't change it on the procesor. this is the best way to safe battery power, cause less speed >>> more battery.
sorry about my english, i speak spanish

So your saying you can under clock with Hack Master, but it actually doesn't over clock above 400? I know it underclocked my hermes as I could see the screen flicker change with lower MHz. I'm gonna have to install their newest vers. and try some bechmarks. Unless aliencurv gets some results....
I can see that it would save battery with the underclock...

you cant change the procesor speed with any software. hack master only show you the speed that you have configured to change clock, but actually doesnt do anything.
the procesor speed is managed by itself.

Try loading the trial version and drop your processor speed to 200mhz and see and feel the drop in speed. Your screen will flicker too. Is it changing something else. I know last summer it didn't support the samsung processor, but it is now listed and it definitely does something to my hermes...

Search In Hermes Forum
Do a Google search in the Hermes forum and you will find a thread that was dedicated to this subject. I believe the conclusion was that, at best, one of the applications to overclock could be increased by, at most, 10% before resets were required. That may have changed with the release of version 4.3? of Pocket Hack Master this past January.

Overclocking

I have set my Dash to 240MHz from i guess the standard 201MHz, however it doesn't seem to be any faster. I've tried multiple tasks at the same time and I just can't feel a difference in speed.
On the system info it always shows 201MHz regardless to what clock i set it. I also don't notice a difference in battery consumption.
How can i check if the Dash is indeed OCed that what I set it to?

The only way is to look at OMAPClock I do believe.

The only way I know is to go back into OMAPClock and check what setting you have it on. I don't know of a way to see the current clock settings. I can say this-- Your phone's speed greatly depends on the number of applications and programs you have running simultaneously. If you have a lot of stuff going on at once, then you may not notice the difference in speed from 201mhz because the 240mhz is absorbing all of this activity. I noticed a change in my phone's speed when I first o/ced it (significant enough for me to notice a difference), but after a while my S620 became loaded down with all kinds of programs as I began exploring the wonderful world of modding. Now it runs at a decent speed.

I keep my phone very light. Only on there what I really use. The OMAP says 240. I'll keep it at 240 for now and see what happens. If I can see reduced Battery life over the next few weeks I guess it must be working. I'm not sure if I can go 1 step higher.
My old dash burned out on a hot Florida Spring day with a (I believe 252 OC). So I'm also kinda worried about the heat (internal/external), but as far as I read everything should be just fine at 240MHz.

you can benchmark it using sktools

Please give path to the OMAPClock? Thanks!

Start -> Accessories -> OMAPClock

you can also just open up tcpmp player and go to options > settings. it wil show your clock speed

I have read every thread I could find on overclocking the Dash here in xda. I have T-Mobile 6.0 Standard and would like to overclock. Could some helpful person please tell me which program(s) I need to do this? I'm assuming OMAPClock (which version?) and anything else? My Dash is app unlocked already. Thanks in advance!

wm6.1 coming with a lot of feature inside how omapclock, install it.

I'm not quite ready to upgrade to WM 6.1 with some problems I've read about. I did, though, download OMAPCLock and it works great! The small problem is that it is buried in File Explorer, and I would like a shortcut on the Start Menu. Not being a programmer (like most of you), I don't know what "arguments, file paths, etc." are. I can't copy and paste to Windows\Start Menu cuz it won't let me. Is there another way without getting Total Commander cuz I don't really want to keep adding programs to my Dash that aren't absolutely necessary?

Never mind. The Surreal Networks OMAPCLock app gives me the Start Menu shortcut and Homescreen Icon. The first OMAP program I dl'd was from freeware.com and will not delete. It says there is a sharing violation. Anyone know how I can get it off my phone?

HTC Hermes overclocking

Hi folks!
How can the HTC Hermes overclock. Did it with some tools tried, but rather less successful. Batteerystatus no, xcpuscalar, overclocked but not really at 472-500 MHz. And with the PHM I can overclock well, but then does my GPRS connection to the Internet no longer work.
Is there a way to change this?
Translated by Google

This has been gone over numerous times and no, you can't overclock the Hermes reliably....

Although it is possible to overclock Hermes it cannot be done relyabily or without damaging the CPU...
Some utilities may allow an active and practical overclock but I wouldn't advise it...
As you may know, if wou want your Hermes to be more responsive, performant, you can increase your ROM page pool size prior to flashing.
Cheers.

it might not be able to overclock.. but, should be able to keep the cpu locked at 400mhz and not throttle to lower speeds.. which would make it much more responsive.. I've been meaning to test this

The CPU is always at 400mhz. Wtf are you talking about?

no its NOT always at 400Mhz.. it has auto speed scaling built in. something is not right with both tcpmp and gxmark benchmarks.. using the newest PHM I manually set the lowest possible speed of 251Mhz, and disabling built-in scaling thinking of past knowledge that it doesn't do anything to our devices. I should not see any difference right? well visually it is MUCH slower than setting it at 400Mhz with both programs showing the same score at both speeds.. this CANNOT be correct.. I can see it with my eyes a night and day difference.. 420 seemed stable but the scores were showing slower than factory clock.. whats going on here?

this has been gone over so many times in the forum its not even funny any more.
use the search facility...

yes I know, I've read the overclocking threads from two years past.. ever considered newer software might change things? It does identify the processor correctly as a S3C2442A. I still want to know the answer to why benchmarks aren't reporting correctly.. BTW this thread should be moved
here are some results.. with a fresh boot I loaded a 39306KB AVI movie in CorePlayer 1.2.4. I ran its benchmark and also timed it with a stopwatch. The benchmark reported 1.60Mbit/s @ 3 Minutes and 21 seconds, also correct on the stopwatch. 321994752 bits divided by 201 seconds comes out to 1.601 Mbit/sec just like their calcs. Now I opened pockethackmaster 4.33 and set the clock to 420Mhz and reran the coreplayer benchmark. Here's the wierd part, the test reported that it took 4 minutes and 2 seconds with a 1.33Mbit/s rate but in actuality it only took 2 minutes and 58 seconds according to my stopwatch. Do the match, thats 1.809 Mbits/sec real throughput. So overclocking DOES work.. pretty significantly if I might add, but it appears that the timers used in these benchmarks are skewed and not reporting accurate numbers. Someone else try some tests and back me up here.

But then you lose Ram, and when you only have 30 or so mb's of it to start its a crapshoot.

sure, it might make some of your videos or games faster but you'll most likely have problems with any data connection

PHM can brick your phone to an irreversable state, and xcpuscalar falsely shows an increase in processor speed. Battery status will not work for the hermes, and I don't think there is a program that will overclock a hermes CPU. As for the not constantly running at 400mhz, that is not a bad thing. Think of it as a P.C., when you are not running apps, there is a system idle process that occupies the majority of the processor, meaning that not all of the speed is utilized. If this is the case, that means that the processor is not running at full speed. Same goes for the Hermes, however there is no system idle process, just a slower clock speed. When you open an app it will reach, but not go over 400mhz.

pleas see attached zip file
this program give you the ability to overclock the hermes up to 420Mhz
i tested it - and at 420Mhz the device becomes slower and some minor flicks of the screen
i went back to 400Mhz and the device went back to usual operation
regards
edward

I too have tried various clock speeds but at the end of it all i left it default as the device was too unstable.

Also I have of course continue my attempts to overclock Hermes, but I am no satisfactory conclusion. At the moment I use xcpuscalar have all possibilities of tuning 500mhz switched on and it is stable. A benchmark I have not done, so I do not know exactly whether he has speed. But the belief puts mountains.

CPU frequency: set to 1Ghz

Think it's good for both S8500 and S8530.
By default CPU frequency is 800Mhz on Bada 2.0
To set higher frequency, on keyboard make this code: *#197328640#
After select 8 common, 8 DVFS Configuration, 1 static level 0 (800mhz), 1 static level 0 (800mhz) and then # to validate.
If you want to go back to default, same manipulation but select 5 dynamic level.
To see frequency CPU: *#197328640# then 4, then 8, then 1.
Thanks to Badaforums.net
Advantage: You got 1Ghz CPU, what you paid for when you buy your wave.
It's a little smoother like that.
If you need much battery life, you can also underclock the speed.
Idea: What about making an app?
Larioteo if you read this post...

But this will eat my battery even faster that SHP
Thanks for the tip
Best Regards

Erm, not quite sure I understood you there. How exactly do we push the performance to 1ghz. Setting a static speed is as mylove90 points out is very bad for battery life.

Web browser seems much faster with this tip.

You can try, if you see you have problem with battery life, you go to default settings.
But you can also underclock the CPU speed if you want better battery life

hmm.... after every restart you have to redo these steps, otherwise the cpu is set back to dynamic level
