Which software to use?
In my humble opinion: None......for the Qualcomm there is no software availalble to overclock it....but in time it will come...
try this out guys. application specific.
All this seems to be doing is to change the priority of the threads running certain applications. It does not overclock the CPU like OMAP did.
anyway does this work?
or its like the sktools optimization?
Any progress out there on a safe program to overclock a Kaiser? WM6 is definitely faster than WM5, but alot slower than my old Palm OS Treos.
thanks,
d
I'm also waiting for a piece of software that will allow me to overclock my Kaiser, but still there is no progress at all. As they say - patience is gods' virtue (-:
has anyone tried htc performance?
I believe I read helmi had a hand in creating it???I know this has been used on a few different devices and is very low on batti draw but no one quite knows how it works.Really makes a difference on my device but Im not sure if it would be safe to use or even work with the proccessor on the kaiser.
With the battery life as borderline as it is with the Tilt/Kaiser, I'd shy away from overclocking. You'll get lightening fast speed for the 5 minutes of battery life
ya but...
ya but... with the video drivers we're missing and an overclocker the phone would be lightning quick.Also I was reading that the reality is with the right programmers the next gen phones kaiser , dream and a few others a playstation 2 emulator on the ppc would be possible. imagine being on a plane cut off 3g and phone functions and play ps2 games on your phone. plus with extended and/or extra batteries that are now becoming available...
I do not see the logic. The Kaiser is so fast and has so much memory, why would you risk bricking or prematurely damaging your phone? Just my opinion

Glad to learn that my Kaiser is so fast ! I guess you don't use games or heavy graphical applications, because then you would see that the Kaiser is not faster than an HTC Prophet wich is overclocked at only 240 Mhz ! (380 Mhz for the Kaiser...). Also if you want to play VGA videos, the speed is not good enough (wich it should be if you look at the Qualcomm processors capabilities, but as everyone know here, HTC did'nt make the drivers for that).
I am very disapointed by the fact the Kaiser is not a VGA device, but even more disapointed when you see that it is not even faster than a VGA device !!! So at this low speed, where is the interest of having a QVGA screen compared to VGA ?
Definitly, an overclocker tool may help me to consider keeping my Kaiser (even if I think that at this device price, it's a shame to be obliged to overclock it to have a decent speed ...).
The prophet is slower in my opinion, I don't own a Kaiser, but whenever i use it everything happens faster than on my overclocked WM6 Prophet (overclocked to 286MHz normally).
How does the speed compare to the TyTN, mine should be here on Wednesday... I can't wait!
someone found a tool that really works ?
WOW! and I thought we had enough problem threads on here with overheat and battery deaths!
Look out for many more!!
I upgraded to kaiser from a Tmob Wing, for that I played with an overclocker called Fl0wt. Which did seem to work BUT the battery becames a flamethrower of heat and the battery life was sucked away in no time. this wasnt a big clock speed step either. The parts just arnt suited for the additional heat it seems. plus it felt dangerously hot...like "hit the dirt its going to blow" hot. not worth the risk in my oppinion...but hey thats just me
Can you post a link to "Fl0wt" ive searched far and wide and found nothing. Please post a link.
Cheers !

I beg to differ.
I play LOTS n LOTS of games on my TyTN II AND I watch full feature movies and I use Outlook AND I use GPS AND I use internet (Netfront v3.5) and I have yet to find a speed problem as mentioned in this here cheese and whine forum.
Some of the games I have on my TyTN II are:
Cybersaurus
Warfare Inc
Machines at War
Bejeweled 2
Zuma
Ackys XP Breakout
Shattered Worlds
Call of Duty 2
Darxide EMP
gfDoom
Fast Future Race
G-Prime Extreme
Interstellar Flames
Skyforce Reloaded
Quake & Quake 2
Sinbad Return of the Legends
Flux Challenge
Is this a good enough sample for you?
THE KAISER NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A VGA DEVICE. IT IS STRICTLY QVGA....NOW GET OVER IT!!!
I am starting to believe that AT&T roms are fraught with problems.
I don't have that problem here in SA.
My TyTN 2 is MUCH faster than my iMate KJam....MUCH MUCH FASTER!!!
So I don't know what you are referring to.

I have Call of Duty 2 too, and it's really slow on the Kaiser compared to other devices. You should see how it runs on other PPC's...

I have an T-mobile Kaiser and it's definitely not much faster than a Magician. The difference is really, really small.
And we're referring to the fact that there are no drivers for the ATI Imageon hardware. Thanks to this, everything needs to be rendered by the CPU.
I currently have a Wizard 200 device with WM6. I am very pleased with the general performance of the device but it is getting old, falling apart (it has been much used and loved) and sorely lacks storage space (2GB maximum). It can be a little slow with some applications and rather unstable with others. It is a bit ugly too.
I love having a keyboard to use and the HTC Raphael 100 looks perfect. I know it is not readily available yet and the Diamond is the closest thing I can compare it with.
The thing that really worries me is battery life. My Wizard lasts 24 hours playing music with the screen off/locked. I can browse on GPRS/EDGE for a suitably long time (although waiting is a big part of GPRS experience. LOL!).
Generally the battery lasts 48 hours between charges two days of communication, music, browsing and messing about. WiFi on the Wizard is a battery killer as it eats through it in less than 4 hours on best battery life setting.
From what I've heard the battery life of the Diamond is quite poor and nobody really knows about the Raphael yet.
So, what I'd like to know is...
What is the battery life like for music playback?
How long does it last on GPRS/EDGE, 3G and WiFi?
Basically the options are keep the Wizard as my main phone and try and repair it. May even take it apart, measure it and make it a new case (it is well out of the warranty period by now)
Get the Raphael when it becomes available on contract (I'd prefer a subsidised phone). It has expandable storage, a fantastic screen, better keyboard than the Wizard and has a snazzy new interface. It can be easily changed to suit my needs and is also rather stylish but without the glossy back.
Get the iPhone 3G common as muck device which isn't really that customisable. It doesn't have applications I tend to use such as Word and Excel. Lacks some very basic things such as copy and paste! It is a very good music device, photo display device and the browser is very usable (although I actually prefer Opera 9.5).
By the way what is the actual HTC designation for the Diamond? Diamond doesn't really seem to be in keeping with their previous designations.
I guess that nobody would like to comment on the battery then...

Just saw this Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pENEldRxuwQ
and I am amazed at how quick the menus are on the Touch Pro. Why is the Diamond not as quick as this? Does the latest firmware for Diamond make it as quick?
TIA
touch pro has more memory.
Why do you think it is faster than the Diamond ?, I have ROM 193 and it doesn't seem faster at all (and btw, I only have like 20mb of free RAM, kind of shows you how meaningless this whole RAM issue is).
Mine is as fast - no that roms are being fine tuned - using a beta from a cook here i have to say that vid is nothing exciting and my dimaond is wizzing away - i cant make touch flo lag however erratic i use it...
Im sorry to spoil the party but my Diamond is as quick as the one in the Video or maybe even quicker. (all tweaks applied and Cooked ROM)
Im sure the PRO can be even faster after it takes a stroll down to the kitchen!
luck fellassss
so can a similar speed be seen on a diamond with an official firmware or can it only be achieved with a coked firmware? any videos showing the speed of the Diamond UI which is supposedly just as fast? TIA
Im sure the PRO can be even faster after it takes a stroll down to the kitchen!

Maybe, but I doubt it will ever be faster than the Diamond.
Unlike Desktop PCs (and correct me if I'm wrong), WM doesn't use RAM to cache hard drive information, rather all software 100% works from RAM (after it loads there, that is). So, you could definitely load more software to the Pro's RAM, but each individual software won't run any quicker than on the Diamond.
The Touch Pro's name should really be changed to "Fat Diamond".
I have stock ROM .. and my Diamond is as fast as the one in the video ..

I agree.
Im not familiar with the Processor the PRO has but im assuming the Processor is the same on both.
I believe the speed is judged by the MGz in the Processor. So if both carry the same processor they should have same speeds.
IMO I might be mistaken.
With the new ROM and tweaking programs my Diamond is very very fast... I'm very pleased now... and I don't like the HTC Touch PRO because is not that slim like the Diamond wich is on of the ``features`` I like about it.
With Bepe 0.98 ROM, Mine is running a little faster than that
Mine is that fast or faster too, thanks Dutty, and that's with a big pile of crap loaded on by me too.

Actually, there is a setting that can make the diamond cache file system....
when cooked touch pro ROMs manifest themselves, we might see a difference though I'm just looking forward to how much the diamond is going to earn on raphaels drivers and software

Could you tell me what version your stock ROM is please. Thanks
my diamond is on DUtty v1.6 and it's fast! slightly faster than on the video if i have to say?
I get the same performance as in the video with a 1.37 Swedish stock rom.
The only (tempoarary) performance issues I have with TF3D is after I for instance close down Opera or do some other CPU intensive task. It then usually takes a few seconds before the menus are back to being as responsive as usual. But that's it.
I have however applied the standard registry tweaks, but as far as I can remember I did not observe any significant change in performance.

Hey...
i flashed my x1 with nearly every custom rom released here in forum... now im back at stock spl and stock vodafone ger rom... and its crazy.. to my mind its faster than ever before with a custom rom
strange for german rom i know that my rom is definitly faster , but if you are happy with the stock rom then it is ok
each to their own...
You're absolutely right but he broiught to my mind these ole tytn days when a stremlined cooked ROM realy realy SIGNIFICATIVELY improved the phone and I was wondering why I wasn't feeling the same on my X1
Even small changes freeing a couple of extra MB of RAM (eg. deleting some MS crap) was a big bang on a 64MB device
Then I remembered I have 300MB RAM
Real speed gain would be nice...

I agree !
Tried many X1 and Raphael Roms on my 2 devices and the gain of speed is only minor compared to the flying fast TyTN Custom Roms back then.
The only real gain is having removed all the junk and so more free "rom" is avail...
Many people here are like ... THIS or THAT Rom is blazing fast and stuff but if have a real look you will find out that maybe some windows appear a bit faster but the rest is equal...
Benchmark are corroberating my theory ! (I did alot of them ! )
Not only SPB Benchmark, VS Benchmark and Sk Tools are proofing it but also Morphgear FPS Benchmarking for example.

Also, this phone feels WAY FASTER in stock condition than the diamond and tytn, I know it is not perfect, but man it flies when I put it side by side with the diamond
Best HTC device ever IMHO
i agree that its the best htc phone built so far. but in terms of cooked rom speeds i think its trailing the trailing the best HD and the touch pro ROMs. i think we have a bigger rom for improvement
Formula 1....
Try this one ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478022 . That is definitely fastest rom that i tried. Go ahed take a try...
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S and just upgrade to 2.2 Froyo. I'm just wonder a things that. Do you know why Samsung Galaxy S only displays that It has 304mb Ram. Samsung confirmed that Galaxy S has 512mb Ram. Why the phone displays too little ram like that.
When I use 2.1 Android. Galaxy S displayed 348mb Ram and now on 2.2 Android the number is 304mb.
Can you explain that for me?? Thanks all you guys alot.
512MB hardware, 208 system reserved , 304 user/application usable.
IMHO, 208 system reserve is quite large.. with 2.1 i never had a chance to see 348mb ram XD
i noticed that too. awaiting someones response
208 system reserved, so we can't change this. 304 is not enough in some case.
Well try to read all 100 tread about this.
So far i don't se the problem. I never run out of memory.
My phone is fast and don't lag.

On my previous HTC Desire had 512 Ram w/o external RAM, so I had to install all apps onto internal RAM... After 10-12 app installed, I had 32MB free space, and it was enough. (ok after froyo I could use the app2sd too) - yeah it was very miserable

Sorry, SGS 2.2 doesnt' have so much free memory available. And compared with other smartphones you can't do the same things withouth Android starting to kill background processes.

Well its true about the user fault.
Why do you need to run so much background program?

Now you're speaking about SGS ram... Does anybody knows if its PowerVr SGX540 has dedicated ram as Snapdragon's chipset has?
Adreno 200, being a worse performer, has 64 mb of dedicated video mem.

The main problem is people expects that this phone will work as advertised. And if Samsung sells it sying that it has 512MB of RAM I will want to work like other phones which have 512MB of RAM, not like a phone which have 292MB of RAM.
And yes, you don't change anything, it seems that you have an exceptional SGS which doesn't lags, doesn't have low memory problems, GPS works like a charm. If someone whines about GPS, memory, lag is always fault of the user, not the phone.
And then we will laugh at Apple fanboys when we have a lot of Samsung fanboys here

Show me where Samsung say it has 512MB ram that user can use?
The fact is that sgs do has 512MB ram.
And none of the smartphone has all ram free for the user.
That's one problem also that people don't read and understand how things work.
Im NOT a Samsung fanboy.
But i know what i did buy and i know how to fix things.
I also have iphone to compare this sgs with.
But many people are to lazy to read information and learn about things.
They buy this phone and only read some advertising for it and THINK they know about it.
80% of the people that's has bought this phone and complain should not bought it. Its not the right phone for them.
My girlfriend did buy a sgs to.
She did compare this phone and the iphone. It was a easy choice for her. But if she did not have the 2 phones and could compare them and have me to ask and have me to modifies the phone i guess she would choose the iphone. Just for she had heard much about it.

@DamianGto, i don't know if you are a samsung fanboy, really, i don't care, but sure you behave like one of them. you are everywhere, like your counterpart oletros, bashing people, never being constructive. you are not a knight, galaxy s is an object, not your princess...and yes, like any other smartphone it has problems. yeah, i know, don't be upset, your galaxy s is just perfect, i was talking about others sgs
it's not a phone, it's a smartphone...i think sgs is too much for you, you don't need it to make phone calls, you'll be fine with a 30 euros phone...then you can tell people "it's just a phone!"
just a question...why do you still have your iphone? why don' you sell it and buy another super-amazing sgs? you can buy two sgs with an iphone, what are you waiting for??
@oletros, come on, you behave like my grandfather, always talking about how good was staying in germany and how bad italy was...everytime he was whining about my country for about 40 years. he died here, never moved to germany. it's not your worst enemy, you bought it, you can sell it...and guess what? there are people who will buy it it's not bound to you, it's not like an arm, you can get rid of it if you really want...but! if you don't want to...please stop with all this anger (toward sgs), you'll live better if you start searching for solutions instead of wasting your energy (and your mental health) on whining...everybody knows sgs problems, there is no need to repeat them.
peace guys!
It's true that i write alot.
I know i bash at people sometimes but its only when they repeat same things over and over. You can easy get the answer on that if they read in the forum.
I only got the iphone to play games on. Android don't have much games that good.
That's bad for sgs is alot better in the hardware then iphone.
Its also true i don't use it so much for phone calls.
I do use it like a mini computer.
I can't say i did like my sgs so much when i did bought it. But after flashing it and tweaking the phone it has been very good.
I also know i have a very good sgs that all things works on.
The gps is almost flawless.
So yes i do like my sgs. But after all thing i have done with it.
The same things all person can do if they read the forums.
The main different between me and many people is that if i got a problem i seek a solution on that. I don't whining in tread after tread about the problem.
You don't learn anything if you whining and don't seek solution on problem you got.

DamianGto
- please tell me a solution that fixes the lag in touch wiz application drawer (ca be seen if you have 5-6 pages of apps and slide fast, or pinch to zoom out)
- please provide a solution for fixing the swype lagging input.
- please provide a solution for an efficient memory&cpu wise browser.
If your soulutions is "replace the apps", than no thank you.
Now back on the subject, the available RAM is a real issue. People who browse a lot can observe this. Even a single page (such as pocketnow.com desktop version or any other a little heave website) can make the browser eat so much RAM (more than 140MB) and CPU that makes the phone unstable. How many times my opened apps were closed (even launcher,etc) . Or how many times my browser closed itself as a) foreground application; b) when opening another app such as music player.
So DamianGto please don't make it feel as it's not a real issue. This it is. It ruins the joy of multitasking. You cannot have Skype, or Messenger opened while browsing cos' you get the risk the apps to be vanished because of the free memory
So Samsungs' Froyo is a piece of sh*t that ruins the joy of using the phone.
The RAM is not an issue for people that are using the phone as a media player or for phone calls.

this is sadly true...i flashed voodoo doctor rom 2.1 with advanced ext4 lagfix, using launcherpro plus instead of touchwiz...rom is smooth and i have no lag (120 apps), but with 80-100 mb of free ram when i open browser launcherpro get restarted everytime for the lack of free ram (didn't have this problem with jm8), this is more than annoying. and yes, i use autostarts to disable all unnecessary startup programs, even uninstalled autokiller (useles IMHO), reduced homescreen pages from 7 to 5 and removed all widgets that i use less in order to have more free ram. this is so sad for a monster phone like galaxy s...let's hope that devs or samsung find a way to optimize ram management. anyway, there is a ref thread where some smart guys are playing with ram allocation inside kernel...eventually something will come out to fix this **** i am optimistic on this subject, i would have been more worried if the amount of usable ram was the same between eclair and froyo rom. i hope this mean that capable people can play with ram pre-settings to free up more ram without side-effects. i had ram problems with samsung omnia 3 years ago, when i bought htc hd2 i thought i'd never had lack of ram anymore
sorry for my english!
