omapclock v.2 not holding OC in WM6?!

I'm not sure the time refresh but no matter what I overclock the device to it will reset back to default (180mhz) within an hour or less. This happens in both manually in omap software and the startup smartkey.ini. Either way the device will hold the overclock temporarly while the device zips by, but sooner or later it clocks back to 180!
I'm running pdaviet4, how are your experiences?!

The same! CRAP!!!

you guys need to make sure to use omapclockplus for this functionality. When i used it i never had a problem

Using underground edition with omapclockplus occasionally drops the overclock and I need to reset it. But for the most part sticks with it.
The only annoying part is you don't know when it drops untill you need to do something that uses some juice and your device hangs forever

I use battery status to overclock
And it works fine
For some reason smartskey does not work well for overclocking on the wm6 and wm5 AKU3 roms

I agree. I have now disabled OmapClock via SmartsKey and use Battery Status. Seems to work flawlessly.
Andy

yeah same used both and battery status is the best choice for me

This sounds strange to me ! I never had problems with omapclock and smartskey. And I ran it on every rom, including several wm6.
I often use my pda for short periods, but i usually play very long times (call of duty 2 for instance, which needs a lot of ressources to be playable) with no problems. Also tomtom is fluent each time i use it (if i try to use it not OC'd then I can feel the difference)
so for me, so far, no problem with omapclock v.2 and smartskey in wm6

Both Omapclock+Omapclockplus or Omapclock+Smartskey make me default frequency after manual suspend and wakeup (by key press) and overclocked frequency after automatic suspend (by timeout).
Now trying Batterystatus, it seems is able to keep the device overclocked forever. Checking for battery drain.....

same Batterystatus FTW

I want to thank you guys for the battery status tip! its been running rock solid and the battery info is good to know too
As for the overclock i turned off the string in smartskey.ini and let battery status take over. WM6 still seems to reset the clock when the device is in standby (you can notice this real quick when waking the device and notice the Mhz change) but battery status has the option to re-set the clock to the overclock specificed on wakeup. Great little app!
I suppose its a little savior WM6 defaulting the clock in standby... in the end, it saves juice!

Newbie with some questions about Qtek2020i running wm2003se =]

Hey, I stumbled upon this site after having owned my qtek for a week now. First WM based phone that I have had that ive added various software to and basically had a bit of fun with. But without going on too much here I will list what questions/problems I have and hope someone can help. I’ll lst them here instead of creating multiple threads to save on clutter
My list
My phone often freezes up or switches off, is there a fault with the OS/device? The freezing up was happening before I ever installed a thing so I cant put it down to it being my fault for once =] ive checked for updates or posts about it but haven’t been able to find much that has helped. It ran a bit slow the first day i got it after having two prgrams running. i often check to make sure if i have fully closed down apps after using them
Is there any way to stop the Echo the receiver hears when I make or receive calls? This also occurs when using skype.
I brought an i-mate Pocket PC Headset Adaptor (2.5mm to 3.5mm headphone jack) so I could use my phone as an mp3 player when im out and about. The only problem is that the headphones I used (sony in ear bud things) only played sound out of the left speaker. I haven’t used the hands free headphones that came with the phone but they have a left and right speaker, so I need to install a driver or something as so I can hear sound out of both headphone speakers? if not thats 13notes down the trálét
What are the key procedures you should follow to optimise your pocket pc? Including regedits =]
ive seen that you can adjust the CPU speed, is it wise and if so, whats the best processing speed? Or is the “turbo speed” function any good? Does it cause freezing up or shorter hardware life span?
Setting profiles, do I really need to install something in order to customise
and change profiles?
If I wanted to develop my own programs, what software would I need and where can I get it for cheap/free?
Sorry for the long list, ive tried hunting for the info as best I can but obviously not done too well
Cheers for any responses with assistance/answers :thumbsup:

If you received the device and it was still running, chances are it's been operational a while and had numerous programs added & removed, will have fragmented memory etc. The best thing is to start with a cold hard reset (leave the main battery out for at least an hour to drain the backup battery) then start from scratch & set the device up. This cures about 75% if these kiind of ills. I'll assume you have it connected with activesync by now, so will have a backup of contacts & numbers etc.

I dont use mine for skype so couldnt comment. when doing a normal soft reset note down the numbers that come up on the starting screen: these are the update numbers of the various ROMS in the device - you may have an early 'buggy' rom and may wish to consider a flash upgrade - many of us have & it;s worth it for improved signal quality/reception & stability. you'll find all the answers you seek using the search tool

The adaptor I brought had the same problem at first. You will find the socket is slightly recessed, so a normal fat adaptor cant push in far enough into the socket to engage the contacts properly, hence the music in one ear only. Try out the built-in ones, and you should be able to see how the plug pushes in further because of it's slim dimensions. Either cut your adaptor down if possible or find a slimmer adaptor!

My personal favourites are pocket mechanic and resco today/registry plugins, you will find countless opnions on this, and many posts! again, search and you will find all the answer you seek, and a lot of clues as to what you should look for: each user uses their PDA for different things.

Turbo mode is slightly more responsive, and so should shorten battery life a small amount, but the screen chews up far more battery than running the CPU faster: try running a week on each setting and see if you notice a performace/quality difference. There are utilities to alter the CPU speed using registry tweaks: some of the settings will cause the PDA to lock requiring soft or sometimes hard resets. My personal take is to leave things be & run on turbo, ymmv.

Your best bet here is to go and look at some of the other forums on this site! Development & Hacking is where you need to go lurk, and then post: that's exactly the place where people far better qualified than I can answer this one

Noisy Underclock and RAMdisk

Two random things:
1. Does anyone else hear the noise generated by the cell phone whenever it's screen is on when it's underclocked?
2. Does anyone know if any of the RAMdisks I've seen around here are compatible with the Wing? (I keep seeing "I had to hard reset after this...") I wondered what happened if I put the Volatile cache there.

the noise is generated by the frequency of the processor. This can be solved by overclocking. Its something like the "buzz frequency" or something.
and as to the ramdisks.........what? I don't understand. Sounds like a great idea though.

Yea, a Buzzing. It's kinda funny how it comes from the frequency of the CPU... how does it generate sound waves?
I want to take a few MB's and set it up as a RAMdisk so I can run this:
1. Open a new folder “Volatile” on the SD card
2. Change the following key, using the registry editor:
from \HKLM\System\Filesys TempPath = \Application Data\Volatile
to \HKLM\System\Filesys TempPath = \Storage Card\Volatile
3. Turn off the pocket pc with the power button for about 30 sec (not soft reset/hard reset).
4. Turn it on again.
But instead of the Storage Card, use RAM. It should be much faster. I wonder if that's really useful at all, anyways... lol

oh i get it. I think its a great idea, but the wing/herald has memory problems that wouldn't let you do that with any reliability, no? I've really no need to try it.
I think the processor clock speed is associated with another frequency that is in the range of hearing.

What reliability problem? I have plenty of free RAM. The reason I want it is because my phone has filesys.exe taking all the CPU, killing my battery and somewhat killing my performance. It started when I moved that file and has not gone away since, even if I put it back to normal.

That's freaky and cool at the same time.

oh you moved filesys.exe? I've been tempted, but i would like to know what it does.
That said, try the ramdisk. report back with results?

How do you deal with the Kaiser speed today ?

Hello,
I now own my Kaiser for about one year (or a little less). But I'm still not satisfied about the overall speed of the device. I'm not talking about reading videos or playing games, just about "normal" use of the Kaiser.
For exemple, opening the HTC phone application (dial pad) takes around 3 seconds. Then, if I dial a number quickly, it "forget" some buttons I pushed. I need to dial my number slowly for the phone to take each button I push ... This is very frustrating !
Another exemple is going to landscape mode which takes 4 seconds ! And when it is in landscape, my Kaiser is like freezed for about 2 other seconds before I can use it.
A 3rd exemple, when answering calls: my Kaiser rings, I press the green button to answer, but it takes around 2-3 seconds before it does really answer. In the mean time, I sometimes loose my call, and this is really frustrating again !
I know I'm only talking about seconds, but I use my Kaiser a lot in a day, and these seconds become minutes ! And when I need to use my Kaiser quickly, these seconds appear much longer than they really are.
My ROM is the original HTC 6.1 ROM. My Kaiser is as light as possible (no Manilla 2D !), but it does not seem to be enough for my Kaiser to be fast.
I tried some cooked ROMS, but from what I experienced the HTC 6.1 is the faster. I also tweaked my Kaiser with all the informations I could find on this great forum (and KaiserTweak)
I would really enjoy an overclocker utility but it does not exist.
So, about you, are you satisfied with your Kaiser speed ?
Isn't there days where you would throw it against a wall because of these anoying lags ?
Thanks !

If this damn thing eats another microSD card I AM going to throw it against the wall. I'm getting tired of loosing my crap and having to re-do everything.

what about the speed of your ka
iser : is it ok for you ?

No complaints about the "speedyness" of the tilt after flashing to a good ROM. If another one fails I'm sending it back and demanding an upgrade to a Fuze tho.

i haven't had mine for very long but I got a little over-excited in the first few weeks and installed anything i could get my hands on. i just did a hard reset, followed by a soft reset to remove the bloatware, and i've noticed that my phone is a lot faster.
your problems do sound infuriating, have you tried backing up your data and wiping the slate clean?

Dear,
Same problems as yours... Using same rom from HTC !
Very slow phone for each task i need
Boring phone when hang-up or dialing, boring when using tt6 and now tt7 (too slow when driving in little streets, and sometimes truncating voices messages), and more generally, very very slow (and i do not speak about camera).
Sure, this version is really a big bug
Comparing to other kind of phones, even cheaper models runs better (camera better and faster, gps fix faster, gps available even in flight mode.
Usually, when opening keyboard, applications hangs due to the screen rotation, and become available a long time after
Definitively, a real diseapointing device.
I'm now waiting for the renewal of my phone contract to change for something better (sure that is not difficult to find)
Regards,
Laurent

I highly recommend flashing a custom rom.
The rom chef's have done a fantastic job tweaking them to run much faster than the stock roms. Try on and you'll never look back.
I'm currently using the Nov 15'th Hyperdragon Rom and I have virtually no complaints about the speed of the rom for day to day activities. M2D runs very smoothly and is much more friendly to your fingers than any of the stock roms I've used.

Thanks a lot ! i did the hard reset followed by the soft reset , then I restored my data : now my Kaiser goes faster ! thanks again !

I have the same issue, not that the kaiser is really slow, but when I compare it with a Wizard (both have custom roms) the Wizard does things a lot faster, like opening start menu, scrolling isn't laggy, change tabs is fast. No matter what rom I use on my kaiser, I can't get to the use speed of the Wizard. Maybe it is because I install programs on the SD instead of the phone itself?

Nothing to Compare to
I don't have anything to really compare to, but my Kaiser - Bloatware removed - seems to work well. My only real complaint is that ending a call with the touchscreen takes a few seconds, but the red end key ends it pretty quick. If there is a delay on some things, it is far outweighed by the functionality I feel I'm getting from my tilt. I use it as primary pc - email, web, movies, word, excel, etc..
I tell people it is a mini computer with a phone added on as an afterthought. That is why with comes with such a crappy phone interface. I downloaded a new skin and it looks and works excellent.

Call ending speed can be instant. Use Kaiser Tweak / Advanced Config tool to change this.

I noticed a marked improvement since I use some of the SKTools utilities like:
- Optimize! http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
- FreeUP RAM Service http://s-k-tools.com/?m_freeuprams.html
- Registry optimization http://s-k-tools.com/?/sktools/m_regopt.html
It has many other features and you can download a trial. It's really worth a try.

dear all,
how can you say that the kaiser isnot slow ?
I use PIE to read this forum, this thread takes 30 to 40 sec to load for 470 kB, while it takes few seconds to dowload bigger files !
I only use pie,tt7 and outlook sync for contacts and appointments.
I also tested 3 roms and tried to tweak some settings, without getting a normal speed.
kaiser is definitively a slow computer with a phone.
basic phones are more responsives than kaiser on many bundled applications.
I do think that kaiser has a lake of something... Maybe some drivers are missing, because if you look at the internal chipset used inside the kaiser, it should very very more powerfull

Call ending speed can be instant. Use Kaiser Tweak / Advanced Config tool to change this.
Please enlighten me, because I hate this. I have to push the button multiples times to disconnect. I have SK Tools as well. It has many good features, unfortunately some of the things it recommends tweaking I have idea what those things are for. I need the cheat sheet for invalid registry entries and values.

I do experience what you describe and I've tried many different ROMs, right now I'm using Garmin.Dk 8 without Manila2d and all the "speed fixes" available.
It's just like that, it has Windows...
But on the other hand, I like that, because it makes it very customizable.
Depends on what you value most.

I had the same issue with dialing numbers. It pissed me off so much I bought an iPhone. I don't have issues with dialing numbers now. I really miss running custom ROMs though.
The iPhone has a lot of other issues, I put up with them because the web browsing experience is better and I can dial without loosing numbers. I wish HTC would get it together, they are very close... I tried a Sprint HTC Touch Pro for a couple of days and couldn't get used to the missing dpad.

dear Spaul,
Windows is not the problem... Other htc phones have Windows and are fast. i.e. TYTN I is faster !
Problem is software, maybe drivers or hardware layer

He has to keep up because he realizes the other 99% of the WM functionality is missing on his new phone and he'll want to come back.

Same thing here
Yeah I experience exactly the same things with mine. I'm not going out the custom ROM path, since it's a company phone. After having tried all sorts of things, I've kind of just accepted its slowness.
But one thing is for sure. After using first the s710, and the the tytn-ii, I'm 95% sure that my next phone is not going to be a HTC, unless I see some very convincing real life demo of the device.

[Q] OC/UV Test App Wanted!!!

Hey there folks. I had an idea (it hurt a little).......has anyone seen or is anyone willing to make an app that will test OC/UV settings (yes i know this part already exists in Stability Test and Neocore).....here's the really useful part....and then make recommendations as to what your settings should be changed to? I am no where near smart enough to be able to pull this off and I know we have some wicked Devs here!
Just a thought......

Not sure if you can really have that... The optimum levels of OC and UV is directly dependent on your phone, the neocore and stability test just tries to confirm that those settings "work").
The problem is that when there's a problem, your phone will crash (And thus, you'll need to restart your phone). So no app will be able to correctly define the correct levels for you if your phone is going to crash half-way throught the testing phase...

I get the concept, but what if the program, like stab test, recorded at what point your phone crashed and gave you feedback based on that. We would still have to do a little trial and error but it would be a good start point. I am just talking concept, i don't really have the technical knowledge to know whether it is possible or not.
