This is a pair of programs to display Information about your PC on your Windows Mobile. The first program runs on your PC and collects information about your PC from Everest and WMI and pumps it to the Windows Mobile via a network. (ActiveSync, Wireless or GSM?) The second program runs on your Windows Mobile and collects the data pumped to it from the first program and displays it on the screen. Simple enough?
Well firstly let’s step back a bit. These programs depend on another program called Everest. If you haven’t heard of this before then this might not be for you as it’s quite complicated to setup (my program not Everest) and if you haven’t ever read any of my other application write-ups you are soon to discover I really suck at doing write-ups. Anyway I digress, You can read up on Everest http://www.lavalys.com/ if you like, but trust me it’s cool. You can download it at http://www.lavalys.com/support/downloads

Once you have finished playing with Everest you will probably want to have a go at running this application. Here are a few steps you might want to do if you want this to work.
1. Go to Everest’s preferences and under ‘Update Frequency’ change ‘External Applications’ to 1 second.
2. Still in the preferences navigate to ‘External Applications’ and check the third check box ‘Enable writing sensor values to WMI’ and then click the ‘Select All’ button before closing Everest’s Preferences
3. Start the program on the PC.
4. Start the program on Windows Mobile.
5. Connect your Windows Mobile via ActiveSync.
The application should start to display your PC’s sensor values. There are a few other steps you might want to try. Like editing the config files. On the Device there is a file for colours and another for adjusting the graph values.
Note: Currently there are no installers, hopefully you should be able to just unzip the folders and run? Anyway the Pump runs on the PC.
ToDo:
Multiple PC’s
Add Marker for Stop/Start.
Find a decent name for the program.

Hi Slothie,
nice application, thank you
what is the difference between the two application for the phone, PCPeek and InfoDevice5?
over wifi i could succesfully "pump" to phone, but over activesync i had no connection. i tried every connection in pc.peek's options (see pic http://img821.imageshack.us/f/pcpeekconnop001.png/), but it didn't helped for activesync. for wifi it is very simple, once the ip adresses are set up, the connection is there.
when i try it over activesync, after a few seconds (30 maybe), the app seems to crash, it disapears. PCPeek.exe or InfoDevice5.exe is not listet anymore in winmo's taskmanager. so i tried to execute it again, but then i get those errors, see pics http://img812.imageshack.us/f/pcpeekerr002.png/ and http://img190.imageshack.us/f/infodevice5err003.png/. but when i then disconnect from activesync, the application shows up again .
till now i don't understand how to set up the PCPeek.xml/InfoDevice5.xml, so right now i only see "CPU Utilization" eight times (see pic http://img704.imageshack.us/f/pcpeekcellph004.png/). or have i to change the Sensors.txt, did not tried yet (too tired now)...
but so far, nice work mate !
br, kel187
same error here....
Would it be possible to get the source code? I am trying to write a plain recorder app, voice recorder.
This is a really great app/idea. Did you drop the devel btw? It'll be really sad if you did.
If you are still working on this it will be very nice to see an android version
I will be looking to getting this up and running again soon, sorry for the delay but I have been unable to write anything as my PC has been giving me plenty of grief lately.
This is a really great app.
I am looking for the Android verson.

When I bought my HD I recycled my old XDA2 into a fan controller/overclock display. Now that my HD is getting a little old I thought I would rewrite the application to suit the larger screen of my HD. It uses Everest and WMI to get the values from the PC. Anyway I was wondering if this something you would use/worth making?

Are you kidding me? That would be absolutely awsome! An application like that would perfectly fit my needs. If you need a beta tester, count me in
btw, nice case mod
Hey, I'd definitely use this!
LOVE IT!, I would LIKE TO TEST AS WELL!
I need this program
Wow!
Oh yeah, I would love to try this, absolute genius.
This is something I desperately need.
If you need a beta tester, count me in please.
Looks great
Brilliant !
Thanks for your feedback. I wasn't sure if I should waste my time making it into a distributable application but it seems you guys have proved me wrong. I will get a version up sometime this week but it will be pretty raw though.
cool I love to test it.
want it too
i am an computer technician since allmost 20 years, i would use ur Tool too.
great idea tho. is it working the way u like.
i like to be one of the test dummys
let me know, when we can start testing
is there any news on this project ? .
Yeah I posted it here but didn't get any response so I when on with something else.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695298
i didn't realize you moved to an other thread... see you in the new thread.
I've been playing around with TegraStats for a while now and found out, that the CPU's up- and downscaling acts kinda weird from time to time.
For example, running CPU intensive tasks like Antutu benchmark will fire up all four cores, but maximum clock was always 1200 MHz instead of 1400 MHz. Seems kinda "capped" through kernel parameters (correct me if I'm wrong).
So I've tried Shadowgun after benchmarking. In this case, the CPU scaled down to around 360 MHz from time to time, resulting in heavy stuttering during gameplay in huge environments. That's what really bothered me, 'cause same happened with Riptide GP from time to time, just random encounters.
So I installed good old ROM Toolbox (very nice tool by the way) and enforced Performance governor.
Result of this was that cores 0 and 1 scaled very nicely during gameplay (Shadowgun), but cores 2 and 3 were shut down permanently. Really weird stuff, but the game ran much, much better with just those 2 very stable scaling cores!
My best guess is that HTC really messed up the default governor, I hope they'll release kernel sources soon, so our kernel devs can take a look at this.

Nvidia's low-level code and drivers are proprietary and have been since Teg2. So there's only so much the devs (and HTC) can do.
What you're describing is exactly what happened to the Asus Prime when the first few updates were released. Clock speeds were locked (that hadn't been) and the way the cores worked together was modified and in the process both performance and battery life were lost. It appears that in real world use the way the processors step is very different than Nvidia's marketing material.
I'd be willing to bet you that you'll observe different results using different updates. Code and drivers are going to be modified to fix the graphics issues and improve battery life and those changes are going to alter the way the processor taps and manages the different cores.
Does your phone flicker? It would be interesting to see the results of TegraStats on flickering vs. non-flickering phones. It's a shame you have to be rooted to use it because that limits the number of people who can post results.
Is there some sort of test you can come up with that people can use to compare different phones to see if the results are different? I'm not rooted or I'd help.
I never experienced any flickering so far, seems to be just fine!
Well, easiest part to reproduce is test 1, I guess. Your phone needs to be rooted, you need TegraStats from the Play Store and Antutu Benchmark.
During CPU benchmarking, all four cores are at 100% load, but they're stuck at 1.2 GHz.
Another thing that bothers me is the browser performance with web pages that include alot of different content, like the desktop page of engadget.com .
The One X lags alot during pinch to zoom, I think it's because of text reflow and constant repositioning of pictures and flash content. But with performance governor, the browser runs like hell!
I'll keep playing around with some settings, will post them here if something useful comes out.
What sort of Quadrant/ Antutu scores are you getting with performance governer?
When I test my phone they stay at 1.4 but do go to 1.5 in games but not in benchmarks, maybe the CPU has a turbo boost of some sort.

Cpu also spikes when you scroll between screens. Largely due to the carousel effect on Sense. Spikes too much imo. They need to optimize Sense for the Tegra 3.

I read that 1.5Ghz was the fastest single core speed and for multi cores the fastest is 1.4Ghz. So a benchmark using all cores will hit 1.4Ghz but a game running on a single core will hit 1.5Ghz...
"Up to Single Core 1.5 GHz /Quad-Core 1.4 GHz"
Has anyone been able to test this with the One X yet? I know it works with my Transformer Prime
"3D Stereo Gaming - This capability leverages NVIDIA’s award-winning NVIDIA 3D Vision® technology to automatically, and in real-time, convert OpenGL based games and apps into Stereo 3D."
Tried setting up Performance and my system became somewhat unstable.
Running ARHD 5.0 @ Firmware 1.29
Browser didnt rly improve in performance, too. Compared the desktop site of engadget with interactive and performance. Both performed pretty poor here.
Plus: With performance I get 1400Mhz constantly, and my phone heated up pretty fast pretty bad. In regular homescreen use I easily reached 40 degrees whereas with interactive I usually reach tops of 32-33 degrees....

2) 2 cores disabled (dual core)
as you can see with 4 cores the max was 1.2GHZ where as on only 2 cores the max was 1.4GHZ
even with setting the max cores to 1 it still used 2 cores so i concluded it wouldn't be a fair test.
I wonder if HTC have messed with the CPU working somehow? Nvidia def state "Up to Single Core 1.5 GHz /Quad-Core 1.4 GHz" here.
and the test I was asking about was the 3D Stereo Gaming
I like how with my Prime there's 3 diff settings. Powersave - 1.0Ghz, Standard 1.2Ghz and Full speed (not the actual names but I don't have my Prime in front of me) 1.4Ghz so you can set it depending on what you are doing. Plus with root and overclock upto 1.6Ghz or 1.7/8Ghz with kernal change/custom rom.

still going to count the tests as valid lol, on 4 cores my phone only got to 1.2 GHz where you posted it should be 1.4 which was only the case on 2 cores.
This is going to work the same way it works for "Regular" computer CPUs.
Core i7 scales frequencies (and does turboboost) depending on the overral load. You get the highest boost with just one core, a little lower with two, and very little with all of them (this depends on package heat dissipation and is usually set by BIOS in laptops - not sure about desktops). For computers, there is software called Throttlestop which allows you to tune some of these parameters, not sure what can be done on Tegra3.

Aye. Can't argue with proper test results. I think for games I'll stick to my Prime with 1.6Ghz max, less heat and more battery

if your battery is less than 30%, the CPU frequency is set to 1GHZ.
The Tegra 3 is set to the following frequencies:
1.5GHz max for 1 core
1.4GHz max for 2 cores
1.2 GHz max for 3 to 4 cores

So by your logic.. even if the phone is charged to 100% the frequency will be 1200 mhz if all the cores are working ?

I think he's correct, if you are using all 4 cores then the max clock speed is 1200MHz. 4 cores at 1200MHz will out perform 1 at 1500MHz of course so it's not as if you'd be better off on 1 core or anything like that.

and just to double the correctness
look at terga stats at bottom on screens
4 cores bench
2 cores bench
My friends hox did this he did a factory reset and it fixed the core speed.
Here are the screen shorts of running AnTuTu on 2 cores, 3 cores and 4 cores
2 cores = 1.4 GHz maximum
3 cores = 1.2 to 1.4 GHz maximum
4 cores = 1.2 GHz maximum
Set no of cores using CoreControl

Hope this will clear up any questions.

Running on 4 cores is monster overkill period.
I've been running on 2 cores for the last couple of days and everything runs fine inc demanding games (GTA III, Dark Meadow and Shadow Gun).
P.S. I did found the game loads a bit slower than running on 4 cores.

Agreed if you install tegra stats you'll see it doesn't often run all 4 cores. I'm doing the same just running on 2 cores.

I can confirm that...
I tried a few games last weekend, after setting only two active cores and got less heating and mostly just a tricke of discharge while plugged into the wall charger - whereas before I would get overheating and fast discharge even when connected to the mains
PS - discharge while charger plugged in only with 3D demanding games (shadowgun and GreatLittleWarGame)

Hey guys, in franco's kernel thread I already said that I wanna test the lowest possible voltages for each frequency for me. Now it seems that I have some stable values and I want to test if it's worth to undervolt. For now I want to see what impact that low voltages have in terms of overheat. Therefore I need some 'testers' who download the following app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.into.stability&hl=de
What I want you to do is to run the CPU/GPU test at full details with your NOT UNDERVOLTED HTC One X and provide me your current temperatur (you will see it in the upper right korner) after 20 CPU passes.
Relevant would be which ROM and which kernel you are using. It's also important that you don't do the test after a 2 hour game session cause that would distort the results of course.
Here are my results with my undervolted One X:
ROM: maXimus V2.0
Kernel: Franco r11 undervolted
Temperature after 20 CPU passes: 39.6°C
StabilityTest-CPU/GPUTest
ROM: Stock rom 1.29.401.11
Temperature after 20 CPU passes: 48.5°C
I must say I just recovered so my phone did a lot of work.
The back of the phone is just warm after the test, nothing to panic.

Thank you for testing, if all One X with stock rom get that much warmer, stock voltages are way too high. Maybe it's just a result of recovery as you said, waiting for another tester

This test won't be very meaningful, unless you also consider ambient (room) temperature, whether the phone is in shade or direct sunlight, what the screen brightness level is, what the starting temperature is, and most importantly whether there's a case on the phone (or even that it's being held, versus placed on a desk).
Even then, there will still be minor differences from things like which radios are turned on, perhaps how many background services are active, even the color of the phone might well make some small difference. (Grey will radiate heat out better than black in a cool, shady place, but will collect ambient heat that the white would reflect under direct sunlight.)
With that said, thanks for the effort. Anything's better than nothing, just figured I'd share some thoughts on how the procedure could be improved to provide better data...

Thank you for testing, if all One X with stock rom get that much warmer, stock voltages are way too high. Maybe it's just a result of recovery as you said, waiting for another tester

Of course you are completely right. I thought this too but kinda trusted the testers so they won't holt it straight in the sunlight or place it on a heating or in a fridge.. As you said there are also some factors like screen brighness, casing or room temperature so this test has obviously no scientific relevance. Anyway I think those tests will give me a hint if the undervolting makes sense. I will just be looking at the average of the users who are posting their results (thanks again for you help guys) and assume that the values will approach to an average room temperatur, average screen brightness, average device placement etc. so that the extremes got ironed out. Therefore it's beneficial that I have alot of testers so I can look on a wider base.

Hi, I noted that the temperature of the CPU in System Tuner, after less than 20 minutes of playing in Dead Trigger was 71C, without charger.
With charger is worse:
After watching movie on tv screen, via mhl adaptor in mkv 1920x800 the CPU temperature was 73c, later, when I browsed the internet, was 76 C!
Is it normal and safe temperature?
When I using the adaptor, charger must be connected all the time, which probably increases temperature.
Thanks for help.

Wow my CPU is hot too but not this hot. It only gets up to about 45 C or a bit more. You should go to the repair store and let them take a look at it
Try underclock it and see if you notice any difference.
In a german forum I saw a screenshot that showed 97'C CPU temp

45c is your battery temperature but 76c for cpu is not too high.

Are you sure that's not the temperature of your battery?
I should add that now in the house is 30C, the battery temperature is much lower and I have case on phone, but it's 76C in the browser I had without case.

I thought so.
I can't downclocking phone, because my HOX isn't rooted.
So, these temperatures are normal ?
Try stability Test ( not responsible if your phone just melt )

Remember CPU temp limit is 99ºC

I don't know if 75% is normal or not since I have bought the HOX just a few days ago and I have questions of my own regarding the device.
However, I can say that my unit had a CPU temperature of 44 degrees idle when I have read your post. I have played Shadow Gun for about 10 minutes and It reached 66 degrees.
I hope this info helps.

So it can be concluded that the temperatures are normal. When at home and outside was colder I had similar temperatures in Shadowgun THD after about an hour of the gaming.

Yeah I'm sure. But I don't do a lot of gaming so it is totally understandable

That may be the CPU limit but my fear is the effect on adjacent components. Given the size of the phone I bet they feel a fair chunk of that heat.

It's not showing the CPU temp.
System Tuner does. Might be worth looking at that.

I am damn sure that I have lower temperature than this even I run the test for 17 min . As he has 57 degree battery and me only 52.

After 8 minutes, i had 82 C on cpu and 47,5 C on battery. Temperature in house is ~29 C and i have case on phone. Is it normal result ?
Forgive me that the normal picture, but I haven't installed applications to taking screenshots

CPU slows at 85 cuts at 99
Battery once at 48 will go to over heat profile and stop charging, battery should be rated for 60c and under like most smart phone batteries.

Ok... HTC says normal to battery temp at 50c, the question is... You dont feel the battery temp in your hand, but do you feel your screen hot?
I get high results in temp, the only problem is feeling that temperature in the top of the phone, screen qnd camera, BTW... My screen is going bad becouse this... Is unglued...

I sent a message to the support about this high temperature. Series of my phone is HT23RW, maybe is it more warm copies ?
