WM6: what is your clock speed?

i'm still nervous about overclocking my WM6 rom. especially since over clocking molski's rom always left my touch screen unresponsive even at the slightest clock speed change. it got so bad that i had to hard reset on a business trip and i lost every number and note i had hundreds of miles from home and no computer to sync to.
so what are you guys clocking at?

i'm oced to 240. Everything has been fine so far.

I'm running 299 for 1 week now without any problems, on PDAviet3.

299? hmm well im at 252

299 Mhz all the time with batterystatus.

yup at 229 with battery status also. and have not noticed any problems at all. what can i say, im a speed junkie

wat would u say would be an average overclock speed? dont wanna burn out the battery..

I'm running 230 for 3 days now without any problems, on PDAviet4.

Did you notice any speed increase for just overclocking to 229 or 230MHZ? I didn't see much difference even at 264Mhz. 299Mhz is the minimal speed I can accept. By the way, I didn't see any battery consuming difference between 199, 264 and 299Mhz.

for people with orwells WM6 rom.. wat overclocking speed are you running?

i am @ 273.

my stupid @$$ believed this post and tried that setting and i had to hard reset. ROFLMAO
i'm keeping what works for me this time 247 mhz

Yea also had some problem at 299 but after leaving the device for a few mins I was able to set it to a slower speed and reset.
Always remember that just because one device can do 299 doesn't mean all of them can. There are so many little variances with cpu technology that its not unusual to find 2 cpu's from the same devices that have totally different overclocking capability's.
Our devices must have been made on a Friday henc the fact that we cant go as high as 299
Jules

well i guess that may be it. i have a cingular 8125 cid unlocked and sim unlocked with a g3 chip. and i have always used 260 on battery status at the most. but then i tried 299 and i just love the speed. ive noticed a difference and i like it.i really dont see why you should have to hard reset your device just because of overclocking. thats what i like about ilauncher and pocket plus. it offers that safe mode.
heres the proof.

hi there deviusdragger
what rom is that your using? looks nice.
I'm on farias at the moment

Im on the WM6 rom. just with WA2 and phonealarm and ilauncher. so far its been clocked at 299 for some days and ive had no problems at all.

cpuscaler
HI, with CPUscaler i keep 247MHz standard, and CPU scaler goes up to 312MHz without any problem YET....since days...

Processor speed 528 or 400?

Hi all,
I notice that all the marketing data and spec sheets say the X1 has a 528MHz processor, but some people are saying it has a 400MHz. Does anyone here know what speed their device is actually running at?
-Oobly

well, 528mhz is correct.
the plugin homescreen++ showes 400mhz, but i think that this information in wrong.

The phone has a 528mhz processor, but it only runs at 400mhz - meaning that it does not run at full speed unless you tweak the settings.

Okay, so how do you tweak the settings? Does neuClockControl work to set it to 528MHz?
A processor specified to work at 528MHz running at 400MHz is still just a 400MHz processor if there is no way to make it run at 528. If this is the case then we have been royally screwed by SE/HTC.
I would like to be able to push it to 528MHz for gaming, etc (I don't mind the extra power usage if it means better performance), and change it back to 400 manually again for normal use (so it uses less battery power).

Cool! So does it actually show 528MHz and can you see a difference in performance?

I'm pretty sure it runs on 528mhz, not at 400. It is not slower than touch pro/hd expect graphical apps, where the video drivers count. Plus I saw the clock rate on some WinMo software as 528.something mhz, or was it 529mhz. Can't remember the software, but I couldn't care less if some old software with old DB misjudges the 7200A with 7200 processor and says that the cpu runs at 400mhz sharp. That's not reliable at all. Plus it's almost imposible to keep the cpu at 400.00mhz, just like 528.00mhz, it's usually a little bit more or less. So if it is a real measurement, you would probably see something like 401.25 or 528.84 or something Mhz. Have you done some benchmarks on SKTools for example. The cpu is somethimes on par with Samsung Omnia, which should be a Marvell PXA312 624 MHz processor. A 400mhz cpu just can not do that, even though mhz to mhz is not a proper way to compare CPU speed.
Here's a little info on what I mean: SKTools shows that the cpu speed is 400 000 000 hz, which is obviously not the real value but something predefined. Also the Integer Test on SkTools gave a value of 329.8084 units, which is on par with Touch Pro/HD and much faster than Omnia 1 with value of 253.10 on this test. The floating point is 7.552 MWIPS, again on par with the other 528mhz devices, and here it is slower than the top in list 8.63 MWIPS Omnia 624Mhz. The conclusion should be clear - either all devices are underclocked (together with X1) or X1 is running on 528Mhz cpu.

installed the software and started it up, it says my cpu is at 528mhz. where are people getting the 400mhz from?
Official R3 uk rom

TCPMP sometimes shows me 530Mhz XD

And a few other places. Could just be reported incorrectly to some software, especially when they display exactly 400MHz. On the other hand it could be that CorePlayer or the OS somehow ups the speed to 528 when it is needed. I have heard reports of devices running faster when leaving a video open in the background. Maybe there is already some dynamic clock adjustment going on even without using neuDynamicClock?

this is what i think. the x1 is running at 538mhz but sometimes (with some app/ tasks) its been told to stay at 400mhz for some reason unknown to us (maybe to save battery or so it does not overheat).
if u look at the iphone we know for a fact that it was underclocked but the x1 nowhere has it even been said that its been underclocked apart from a few people on this forum, and i reckon that the app / software is not giving a proper / accurate reading or the app been told to run at 400mhz and people have just assumed that the cpu is underclocked. as i said this software is saying its running a 528mhz, which is the official spec for the cpu, so i cant see how people have handsets that are underclocked.

sorry no, i have not tested the x1 at default speed.
but with this software you can change the speed from same state... and a little or medium improvement is possible.
i use the 528 mhz and level 0 for the voltage. to put the chipset to 528 mhz at 1.1 volt instead of 1.325 volt
and in stand-by i put the chipset at 122 mhz and 1.1 volt

I agree with that. Even the modern CPUs run at lower speeds if not utilized enough, not to mention that this should be a must for the handheld/pocket devices.

funny thing is, that I've installed nue dynamic clock and without changing anything in the past it shows that my device clock is running 528 mhz @ 1.1V. it is all soo damn confusing...

I did this as well, with nue dynamic clock showing 528mHz.
Homescreen++ still shows 400 mHz though. Only thing I can think is that Homescreen++ looks up the processor and mistakes it with a predecessor.
In other news, xperia is darn side quicker than my Kaiser, with a much more beautiful screen bonus, but maybe the speed is related to that 'drivers' story

Anyone know what registry settings Nue alters?
I want to try to overclock.

I actually did overclock my fuze, to 628MHz. There is a program in the raphael section; performance something something...
I tried it right before i received my x1, and i didn't notice any improvements or problems.
I belive the same app should work for the x1, since it has same chip.

HTC HD and HTC Performance

Has anyone tried to set the Maximal CPU Speed to 624 Mhz? I admit I'm afraid to set it to 624, because there is a note where it says Overclocking to 624 Mhz may cause random lockups, "white screen" issue, a damage to the device with warranty loss. I was thinking, maybe if it would work, we could run manilla 2.5 ass smooth as it gets for the Blackstone.
Any thoughts?

it's on your own risk!

1- sry for bad English
2-overclocking is normally dangerous for CPU or Graphic Card in long time!
but it can be dangerous in short time but in short time has a very low risk!
I can't say to you to overclock but it's normal on PCs or laptops (your Graphic Card is always work overclock when you're playing)
but I will never test it on my device
overclock may cause to wrong processes! 2+2=134234 !!!!!!!
and may use battery above normal or can make the CPU too hot!
non of these are dangerous in short time
but it's on your own risk to check it!

Other major trade offs in addition to what you have already mentioned is the battery life/consumption. Not sure if it's worth overclocking although with the cold winters in Canada here, I'm sure the device would keep us warmer as overclocking it also attributed to over heating as well.
All these stresses would I'm sure subtract the HD's overall life span, not to mention the risk of the device dying upon immediate attempt.
I will stick to the department of overclocking computers which have the proper cooling tools necessary for a successful setup.

Dynamic overclocking
On my Artemis (P3300) there was an app that overclocked the device dynamically, and this was excellent for battery.
My TyTN II didn't have that (at least not at the time), which was disappointing.
Would it be possible to adjust the clockspeed dynamically like on the Artemis?
It could vary the speed from pretty darn overclocked to dog slow

OMAPs are easy to overclock, My Herald was overclocked. Qualcomms do not do that well. Also, I do not think there is an overclock app for them.

I am having some problems with my blackstone and I have no fear to overclock it...
Could someone tell me how to overclock it ?

SetCPU: Safe to stay at 768 All The Time?

i heard that its not safe.. rumor has it that if you keep it like that for more then 3 days then your phone could spontaneous combust while talking on it on the 3rd day..
i would think running your phone at 768 all the time would kill your battery rather quickly?? what temp is your battery at regularly and how long are u gettin on a full charge with that kinda OC???

This is my first day doing this. I'll let you know how it goes.

ive ran mine @ 768 for over a month with no problems. I do have it set to 245/384 with the screen off though

768 for a month straight no issues so far.. 768 max 245 min..and 384/245 while screen off..
temps never get over 100C..

lol opps.. didnt see that..

Here, read this

I dont think so. 710 seems to be a safer bet. I ran 768 and if there was high load my phone would randomly reboot. Sure some users are reporting that it is running fine for them, but if it has problem for other users I would assume that 768 is on the high end.
710 vs 768 I dont see much of a difference.

Why in the world would you do this? Do you really need it running at 768 when you're sleeping? Wouldn't this just chew through batteries?

just scroll to the attachments of the first post.
The market app is there if you want to donate.
What's important for it to work is not the ROM, but if have an overclockable kernel (designated as [OC] usually), which is almost any I believe. Actually since SetCPU v2 you CAN use it for stock ROM and kernel too (but you have to adjust a setting after every reboot). Read about it in the link, it's the new beta feature called "perflock disabler."

[Q] Undervolted

I've undervolted my device and right now I have
100mhz - 825 mah
200mhz - 825 mah
500mhz - 800 mah
for some reason the 500mhz setting is stable and if I undervolt 100mhz/200mhz even more, I crash.
If I set my minimum processor power to 500mhz would I consume less batter than if I were to use 100mhz/200mhz?

Your phone spends most of its time in the lowest and highest cpu frequencies and just a small amount of time at the intermediate levels. Your undervolt for 500mhz probably isn't stable but it doesn't crash because it's only at that frequency for a very short amount of time. If you set the minimum to 500mhz at that voltage it will probably start playing up.
http:/ /db.tt/iy1bKVoB
graph of my cpu levels

Abit offtopic but what the hell!
I was wondering if there's any risks involved with undervolting?
I don't meen the crashes and freeze ups, but rather more like if there's any risk
to really damage your phone from it?
I have and still do alot of OC in the computer world, and do know what overvolting can do. But i'm still curious about what uv can do to your system.

It's been my minimum even before posting this thread. I just started to wonder.
I've been on it for 10 hours now. I have 45% battery life left. Probably due to my 1700mhz being @ 1350mah right now.
I can assure you, it's VERY stable. It's so SMOOTH. Smoother than just having rocketrom and all that stuff. NO LAGS, NO SHUTDOWNS. ALL STABLE.
I can see better battery life, and CPU Spy says it used up 47% 1700mhz and 40% 500mhz. I think it's giving me better battery life.
It's evenly splitted up probably because I was using lulzactive governor.
but then again I didn't log my previous battery life without undervolting.
Some more insight would be nice.

There are alot of risks. Minor chance that you will cause hardware damage to your phone but I'm saying VERY minor. Just don't be stupid with voltages, like just suddenly overdropping the voltages. Your processor might die.
It's scary as hell, it crashes alot while testing and all that ****.
Feels good when you get it stable though.
TL;DR
Very slight chance to damage your hardware; only if you're very daring.
It should increase your battery life by atleast 20% if you reach the peak of your processors limit.

Bump, are there no other insights on this? Am I like, the only one who undervolted his/her note?

No sorry i meant running it at 1700 max, leaving it stock for the min. I just wanted to know how much i can safely undervolt 1700 by.

I actually have a question. I undervolted my note with SetCPU and I read that Tegrak Overclock Ultimate should be used as well together with SetCPU.
What does Tegrak Overclock do? GPU settings?
Would like to learn that part if anyone has any info.

I undervolted mine by about 100mah. I think I can tone it down by about 25mah more but I'm having a hard time getting it to stabilize.
1350 for my device is completely safe though.
Though, all processors are different. Yours could be better than mine and can withstand more UV-ing.
Goodluck!

It's basically the same with SetCPU aside from its voltages.
I do not know if it should be used with SetCPU with the note because from what I've researched. It's only a common practice with SGSII.

Tried setting 100 and 200 mhz to 825. Crashed my phone twice in one day using it, gonna revert back to 875
