CPU overclock

does exists a software specially for overclocking my P3300 CPU? I tried xscalar, or something like that, but it takes my device only on 196 mhz, starting from 133mhz (or this 133 is over my 200 mhz by default?)

Download BatterStatus Extended V. 1.04 Beta nightly build here. Every owner of P3300 has this installed. For more info... search this thread.

i've downloaded, and installed it. but my drain battery is very very very faster, in 5 minutes, drained 9%.

so what can i do?

Everytime I feel my Artemis needs an Overclocking - I give it a ROM straight up its slithery USB Hole !!!!
hee hee hee !

Look, just configure your ARTEMIS BatteryStatus,CpuScalar for 120, 201, 247 with this configuration your battery last for ever because when it doesnt need speed goes to the lowest speed, only if you are running aplication the overclock take action.
Hope it helps,
Cheers,

Thats cool, thanks!

If you can avoid it, don't overclock!
As stated earlier in this thread...
I've found that overclocking, even with scaling, seriously affects battery performance.
I was until today running Vanilla 2.0, which was ok until I added batterystatus, with either fixed or scale doverclocking - both of which drained the battery like crazy.
If battery status is an isuse, use a lean, clean rom and don't load up loads of stuff you don't need - then the device will perform faster... I've just switched back to the Dopod WM6 release, and unclocked it runs everyhting I need absolutely fine.
To me, overclocking is like the salad bar in Pizza Hut.... I ain't going near it!

lol, thats good! Fair point, I'll keep an eye on the battery life.
Perhaps changing the max speed to the standard speed, but keep the low idle speed set will improve power consumption?

I think you're probably better off just not installing stuff you don't need, and where posisble install to your SD card, keeping RAM as free as possible - that will give you a cleaner machine and reduce the need to be tempted to consider trying to overclock... make sure that you have low standby and backlight off settings when on battery use, and keep your device on charge overnight so you always have a devcent level of charge in the morning. If you need to, buy a desktop charger from ebay for a few quid, and stick your phone on it when you get home...

Thanks for the advice. The CPU clocking is being done with Battery Status, which is part of the ROM, so If power consumption continues to be a problem I'll disable the over-clocking function from the Battery Status Options.
As for charging I'm fine, I have an in-car charger and a 40 minute commute every morning/evening
Thanks again,
John

i've got a question about batterystatus, maybe some1 in this post knows the answer:
is there a way that batterystatus keeps the overclock setting while suspended? i would love to UNDERclock my cpu to 123mhz when suspended, so safe extra battery, but seems that everytime i suspend, BS sets it back to 201.
i tried the options, but i can't figure out if it's possible to over/under clock while suspended.

Have you tried the CPUScaler option? It's build in to version 1.04
For the original FAQ etc goto the BatteryStatus website. Or read more in this thread.

i haven't try it. i have artemis 2.2

Well, although I can't uninstall the battery bar I have disabled the over clocking! I sat yesterday and could almost watch the power drain in real time, even with the Max speed set to 201Mhz. I switched the function off and the battery is lasting a lot longer again.
Moral: Don't over-clock at all!

I've tried ALL the cooked ROMS here - I have a 'spare' device for testing...
I use my device for work emails, sat nav, personal mails, web browsing, music, and as my phone. I pair it up with a Sony Blootooth car stereo.
So... aside from a few games, what else do you need to do with your phone? I'd suggets that most of the stuff loaded onto some of the ROMS is completely superfluous and just clogs up the device - things like the touch cube are really tarty overheads. Over the past year, I have played with most stuff that's out there, free and paid, and have a pretty default set of standard stuff that I load onto a clean RM. I was using Vanilla 2.0, but that still ate battery, so when I read that the Dopod shipped WM6 ROm was fast and bare, I thought I'd give it a go, and I haven't looked back...
Here's what I have on it, all running from the Stoarage Card where possible:
CloseAll
Hibernate
Hbutton
TodayAgenda (enhanced Calendar on Today)
Sunnysoft Contacts (one fingered dialling in the car)
TotalCommander
TomTom 6
Coreplayer (gives far better bluetooth audio streaming, and plays videos)
iphone keypad (default one buttons too small in the car)
SamsungTime (big clock on Today, but doesn't have the weight of HTC)
With all of this, I get brilliant battery life and a more than adequate response time without any overclocking, and over 20mb useable ROM.

TangerineTractor,
Why have you choosen the Dopod WM6 rom?
After having that rom I switched to the official Europe WM6 rom. No big differences, but with Ms Office 2007 on board, now the Word and Excel files are fully compatible with my desktop PC. The only disadvantage was that I had to install AudioManager separatelly. (But, in fact, I rather use CorePlayer.) It's a stable and reasonable fast rom. Storage Memory is low but each prog is in Storage Card if applicable. And there is very low RAM leaking (after a day of usage it's still above 20 M -- and Spb Mobile Shell runs constantly!).
Have you tried the Europe ver.?

The Dopod WWE ROM from the Wiki link has Office Mobile on it, and to be honest, I hardly use that anyway... which do you mean by the Europe version - maybe I'll give it a blast..??

how much free ram?

Hi I"m regular visitor of this site. I wonder why even if I just put the TP2 on it start with 69-72% ram use.
How will this influence apps (like medical software) that I 'd like to use in the future?
Thanks in advance

Mine idles using about 40% after a soft reset then levels off at around 50% after a few hours of moderate usage. Such high idlle usage is a bit strange... Do a soft reset then take a look.

mine levels off at about 65% when idle. But i have t-mobile branded version. So could be there bloated software using extra ram. Can't wait for hard-spl so i can at least flash the latest stock rom

USA T-mobile Tp2 idles at 55% after running Cleanram.
i only have the 256Ram though, not the 288.

Thanks for the replies. I also have 256 ram. These are huge differences I must say.
I'll try the soft reset.
Thanks

mine used to show 256mb of ram, after a ROM update it shows 288mb. mine is an unbrand version

Thanks Mcspikesky, Looks like I have more ram available after the soft reset. For a second it leveled at 40%, but now it's stay 53%. Feels better though.
Thx

44% on my TMO TP2 with bluetooth headset running. I haven't done anything to it, but I am on an unlimited call plan so I don't have the 'Favs' on the home screen.

Mine is on 288MB RAM. When it starts it uses around 40% then shift to 53% then stay there unless I use any other programs. The most I went is 85%.

Mine is a Singapore unbranded (updated ROM) and the RAM usage is whacky.
Right now, i am at 71% with nothing running.
This has been an issue i have been watching as i think we are getting duped a bit here. Some users (me included on occasion) have not had enough free RAM to run a GPS app like IGO8 - this blows..!
On soft reset, 30 to 40mb of RAM gets used for ....who knows!
Consider this, from a potential 288mb, you have less than 60mb to actually run any apps, did i say it blows? Will be really interested to see if 6.5 will handle any differently.
Cheers to all.
Jabberoo

on standby after softreset i have these tasks running in background,
NK.exe / filesys.exe / cprog.exe / device.exe / gwes.exe / shell32.exe
manila.exe / connmagr.exe / CommManager.exe / tmail.exe (every 5min.)
RSS HUB.exe (every 1 hour)
DataStorage---------------ProgrammStorage
All 285,82---------------------188,21 Mb.
in Use 14,87--------------------62,40 Mb.
Free 270,95-------------------125,81 Mb.
i have killed some Tasks witch runs in Backround,
like the 2 Opera.exe files / PushInternet / ZoomBar / repllog.exe (ActiveSync i dont use/like this) /
deleted all files on AutoStart(BTTrayCT a shortcut in Programms and start Bluetooth when needs)
in all,
after softreset 30 % +/- then it go`s down
on stanby 63208 Kb. +/- in use 23-25%
and the device runs very fast...

Mine's around 58%... (with 288MB Ram)
Using TaskManager, I have these processes running which I don't think are necessary. How can I kill them permanently, and is it safe to do so?
CommManager.exe - 151 kb memusage
JBlendDaemon - 63 kb
I also have these in the startup folder: HTCStartUp & PKG which I'm not sure what they are for. Found this in an old TyTn2 thread though...
pkg.lnk:
shortcut to pkg.exe. Psst don't tell anyone, it will run any application named "pkgautorun.exe" located in \Storage Card\2577 then the system will automatically delete pkg.lnk. Safe to delete.
HTCStartup:
shortcut to HTCStartup.exe. Read/Update/provide system status (Bluetooth, Calltimer, etc). Don't delete this shortcut.
Did you guys delete these?

what's normal for "total percentage of program memory in use"?

According to 090826a_Barium_ATT_UM.pdf, opening the Quick Menu will show you the "total percentage of program memory in use". My question is... what's a normal amount? For me, it's 67% with no running programs.

That will depend what ROM are you using.
Sense 2.5 uses a lot more RAM

Depends what ROM I am running and what tweaks I have performed. I can usually idle around 61-63% on sense 2.5. WM6.1 TF3D 50%. SPB Mobile Shell 61-65% (I could probably get this lower on a different ROM). I use cleanRAM when switching between SPB and Sense and at the end of each day.

super stock sense 2.1 rom, resproxy and no push internet tweaks, idling at max 65% after three days.
I dont use cleanram often too, i tend to forgot about it. Havent soft reset in a week and the phone still running nice

You can schedule to auto run every certain time

how much ram have you used??

How much Ram do yours use after you start it up, after the boot??
with no programm running [the ones in background are not counted], in today screen, first time, how much is it??

Starts out at around 65 in the latest Energy Roms from the usual 54 from earlier Roms....But as the day goes on it grows very high sometimes into the 90's then I have to reboot

51% at start up. It use to be lower when i apply the resproxy thing, somewhere around 42%.
but anyway, with 51% at startup it idle at around 65% after 2 or 3 days without soft reset. Stock 2.1 ROM.

That's about where I'm at with the ROM in sig. 47% startup, mid 60s after a couple days.

wtf... 90's??!! do you know this is not normal??? lol

Same here. close to 90% very quickly. Memory leak is a huge issue for Energy ROM. I do like Energy ROM's speed and full of useful applications.

Memory leaks are normal in Windows Mobile. Looking forward to not worrying about them in WP7.

Can get there by disabling Sense, or using WinMo 6.1.

i've got up to about 85% in use or 30K remaining free. now i'm usually around 50k free or 30% free

My phone uses about 47-48% at start up (see screenshot attached) but it quickly goes up to about 53-55% after a short while. After 24 hours it hovers around 58 - 60%

mine uses around 33% on startup and around 50-70% when using it, by using cleanRAM i can get down to around 47% but my phone is still soo slow no matter what % its using!!!

I have just had my screen replaced under warranty and HTC have loaded the latest OS on my phone (WM6.5.3, I think). How do I view the percentage RAM used? It was simply clicking around where the battery icon was on the older WM6.5 I had but thats not the case with this latest version.

The latest stock release does not come with a task manager. Touch X Task manager [ forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415 ] is exactly the same.
It'll be interesting to see what your RAM usage is with the stock ROM

Thanx mate. I thought so as well cos i looked everywhere for it.

26%, thanks to jacko's old school rom. I like this rom too bad !!
Time to Wake up people !!!

about 65% on boot, 85-90% while using it
i never understood peoples obsessions with free ram, if you only use 26% why have 192mb at all? get a device with 64mb since thats all you need
my TP2 doesnt run slow (in fact the only times i runs noticeably slow is when i use cleanRAM or something to force the system cache to drop its ram) i never get memory errors and it very rarely closes background programs on me, so if it wants to use 90% of its ram i dont see a problem here

Thats saying something like: Why should you buy a car, which goes 260 km/h, if the max speed allowed is 140 ??
You dont need the 192 all the time, but if neccesary you do. It has nothing to do, with what you need or what.

[Q] Rom with the best battery life

As the title says.
I am interested in your opinions.
Which one is the best for battery life?
Thanx

There isn't one in particular as it depends on usage and the apps installed

Fresh roms and the cyanogen 6.1
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Hi folks,
Just a thought,
Is there a clear view on where real battery drain occurs, by this I mean (for example):
o Radio;
o Kernel;
o Keep Alive Apps / General Health Apps / Background Apps.
Incompatibility between components, e.g. Radio and ROM fight over timing or API issues or .....
Like dzontra11 I'm interesterested in having a phone (good battery life like my old 6210 or 6310i) and occasional Game Use with Internet Browsing (including Gmail sync). WIFI in the flat (90%) and a little 3G around and about.
So I guess I'm asking which combos work best for general use and still be usable. My phone (won't say which radio/ROM combo ATM) informed me earlier that the battery was low, which it was. The sodding phone turned off 2 secs later @ 17%.
In my past life I looked at a lot of system performance issues (usually the classic CPU, I/O & Memory). So I'm guessing where are the current thoughts on this are by people that know in detail.
Regards
Colin

Best I have had to date is DeFroST (all versions seem to be close in usage) with juice ultimate looking after things, gets me almost 2 days with moderate usage.
