Your experience with overclocking?

Hi!
Has anyone yet found out good values for the overclocking? Can the overclocking damage the Prophet (O2 XDA Neo)?
Does the overclocked CPU drain more battery power?

that tool is great to overclock the profhet to 240-250 Mhz
you must test it what for you the best config !

I've been overclocking my JAMin since day 1 (about 6 weeks now) and with great results. I have set it up to overclock @240MHz all the time (do a search for the instructions) and it's been stable, quick and with no major impact on battery life.
Since the last ROM update - the JAMin has been stable with no spontaneous soft resets. Just great.
Nir

is the rom-update available for the o2 xda neo, too?

noch nicht wenn es rauskommt findest du es hier...

The only upgrade you'll get is Imates, qtek s200 or dopods. O2 sucks as far as upgrade concern. Especially in germany. This so called tech support guys still think that you’ll kill the device if you upgrade it! At least this is what they been telling me! The bottom line, get an update, get “fixed” RUU, search forum, and run an update. You’ll loose german rom though unless you back it up using aWizard.

My S200 overclocked about 5 weeks by now. 276 MHz cause spontaneous softreset once or twice per day. 264MHz works fine; it is my current overclock speed. I don’t think it may cause battery drain, but something drains battery randomly. My suspect is Communication Manager.

I'm using smartskey to overclock. When set to 240 it crashes. Anyone knows why? I'm also using O2 and i've made some standard registry hacks (cache size).

264MHz works for me too.
What programs do we use for benchmarking to see what outperforms what

activesync dropout
I can overclock up to 240 but when I connect to active sync 4.1 it keep dropping its conection

Camera problem when overclocking...
When overclocking above 234 Hz w/ BatteryStatus or 216 with Omapclock,... I get strange dots and color in camera...
Anyone having same problem?

Well in the topic about upgrading to one of the latest roms I saw a lot of people having problems with the camera and overclocking. So it seems to be happening when overclocking for sure. Not much you can do about it except clocking it back when you want to use the camera

I have the same Problem. Thats why I use applicationbased clocking with Batteriestatus, setting Kamera and Coolcamera to 195 mHz.

Yeah, same here btw totally forgot to mention that.
I use batterystatus with the CPUscaler option on. At the moment I have it automaticly scaled up to 221mhz when needed. But indeed all the camera apps have it set back at 195.
Not quite sure to what speed I can go safely. Mostly need somewhat more speed with the navigation on in the car. Although that uses the device 100% for sometimes hours. So since most of the people go up to 240 I just though 220 might be a safe number No problems so far.
Anyway, I'm interested in making it a little bit faster. But an overclock of over 20% just seems too much (or too good to be true )...

Uppss, ... sounds great. But I can not find any applicationbased clocking in my BatteryStatus plug-in.... What else do I need?
Thanks in advance.

I have a O2 Neo. and currently is overclocked at 260 mhz. no problem so far.

You need the Version BatteryStatusPlus.Beta1.0.03.zip of BatterieStatusPlugin at the first Message of this Thread
cu seneca

Thanks Seneca...
I had the non.beta version installed, thus not having those options... Is this Beta version stable/well-proven? Why don't they ibnclude this functionaility in the "definitive" non-beta version?
Thanks again, great forum and great support!
Jarel

After finishing the Beta Phase, it will be included in an extendet Version.
On my NEO/Qtek it is very stable. But read the Thread. There are the answers.
cu seneca

With respect to overclocking it has been stable for a long time. With regards to other features they appear to be stable, hence the change to beta status.
The only question is how high you can overclock your specific device. You will need to use trial and error. Note that as the device get hot, the max overclock speed drops. It's a physics thing.

Overclock over 240MHZ...

Hi guys!
I see that my Jamin is stable at 240MHZ... what is, in your opinion, the hi stable overclock for the Jamin... ?

O2 Neo
Hi, i run my O2 Neo at 240 stable. I'll probably try even 252. It's summer so I wouldn't push it higher than that. 252 could be stable, but depends on conditions. Just try it for few days.

Running at 240 MHz, it the battery life MUCH reduced than using factory 200 MHz speed?

My opinion - 'Sligtly' is more accurate then MUCH. But i didn't measure it.

252 MHz for 2 month on my XDA Neo with JAMin ROM, without any problem. Battery life is good, did not really see any difference before and after overlocking.

Well, I have been running my wizard at 264 MHz for 4 months straight and it has never failed on me. i have it on all the time after standby and soft resets. ive also tried 276MHz for a while but i had to soft reset it almost twice a day.

BTW, increasing the clock higher than usual does not heat up your device. the most it would do is soft reset it. temperature running at 264mhz is mostly the same as running at factory speed. (well for me it has) dont know about some of you.

Overclok on Dopod 818pro
Guys, my device is Dopod 818pro, and i was using OmapClock.exe to OvClock my processor, but, when the first time i run this program, the clock speed, says 264 Mhz? is it supposed to be the correct Processor Speed?
I got confused as i read anywhere else that the default factory speed is only at 180 Mhz.
But why is it my device gives me a 264 Mhz on Clock Speed?
also i've tried all the guides and tricks to keep my Clock Speed at certain number (eg. 216 Mhz). such as using a MemMaid and etc. but still, i always got the number 264 Mhz and it won't change at all... neither after soft-reset nor stand-by.
Anyone got the same problems?
I forgot to mention, when the first time i bought this 818pro, i felt that my device run very fast, even faster than my friends HP 6828 and ATOM PURE. Did i get lucky or sumthin'?
Everything on my device is still on factory setting...
i removed the OmapClock and Other Utility Software..

also..... there is one more sw.... 'Pocket Hack Master' from http://www.antontomov.com.... have a look whether it has compatiblity with URs.....
might be helpful.....

Mine has been stable at 240MHz for 2 months so about 6 weeks ago I bumped it to 252MHz and is stable since.
Nir

thanks! :wink:

Try installing the demo of sktools - its the only program I know that shows the true processor speed.

i did over clock to my device into 240, and it's works normally, but i don't know how to know that my overclocking was success or not, where can i read the speed of processor after overclocked?

-wisnu-

how do i keep my device permanently on at a certain speed thgough omapclock?
also i would like the overlock to work at the set speed even after soft resets. Is this possible?

Yes you can 2 simple methods here
1. Using omapclockplus - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56057
2. Use batterystatus plugin - displays Mhz on today screen and has omap functions inc device wakeup overclocking see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=55782
You could also use smartskey or notification queue method but above methods use easy install cabs.

Just tried - I agree, there is no big difference in battery life - similar autonomy than factory settings when running at 240 MHz...

Hi,
I really don't recommand to overclock the prophet over 240mhz.
I overclocked my first prophet @252mhz.
I had no crash problem with this overclocking, but it burned the bluetooth chipset.
Now i have a new one and have a permanent overclock @216mhz, and sometimes i overclock it @240mhz, but usually it' only to do some tests!
The 216mhz is more than enough to do what i want.
Bye

Overclocking a Qtek9100

Can it permenantly destroy or harm it if i overclock to lets say...280Mhz?
and also,what is the best /recommended overclocking software??
thanks

You could damage your device trying to overclock too high in theory - but it rarely seems to happen. The device most often goes to a white screen and soft resets, You have to find a stable speed for your device - 240mhz omapclock speed = 260mhz real speed -seems to be stable for most people.
Use omapclockplus http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56057&highlight=
Or batterystatus (with today plugin) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=55782&highlight=
Or you could use omapclock with smartskey or memaid/sktools
choice is yours :wink:

I haven't had any problems so far, but am running it modestly overclocked @ 247 Mhz. I am using the batterytodayplugin, works great.
Possibly I'll bump it up another notch to 260, but for now I don't need that extra speed...
One advice - go slowly. Increase in increments, and wait a few days between each higher overclock value. That way you can determine if it is stable.

TCPMP showing a processor running at 100 Mhz

Hello,
I changed a little while ago my device from a Prophet to a Trinity (mainly because of the bad Prophet Processor overlocked at 140...)
But I'm feeling quite disapointed with the Trim as even basic action take as much time as before with the prophet... moreover, I tried some game from Resco which are lagging as hell.
I was expecting better.
Now I just looked into TCPMP oprtion and I'm seeing that the Proc clock is 100 mhz... sometime it reach 404 Mhz but it almost always 99 ~ 100 Mhz. What the hell ?
Is there some good program to monitor that behavior. Any idea of what could be the problem?
I already tweaked the device by removing animations and I also removed all heavy today plugins like SPB pocket plus...
Thanks !

try Xcpuscalar
works great u can eahter adjust the cpu speed yourself, or u can select auto scale with cpu load, and let the device decide when to provide a fast cpu (when doing a lot of things) or a slow (when just standing in standby, and save battery)

If i am not mistaken current version of Xcpuscalar does not support the Samsung CPU.

[Q] IS IT POSSIBLE?? pls help

I didnt want to root my phone HTC WILDFIRE because I am a little noob at these things a I thought I would totally destroy my phone.
But I found out that it is not so hard to root it as I thought, so today I succesfully rooted my phone. Than I wanted to overclock my procesor from 528 Mhz to I think 768 by downloading new kernel etc... Everything went good. I succesfully installed(or what, I said I am a little noob) that new kernel and was happy that my Wildfire will be faster.
But now I can see that my phone is lagging more, sometimes it freezes what i couldnt see before when It had original kernel.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?
Pls help

Do you have SetCPU installed? Then turn it a bit down, till 690~710 Mhz
Maxing it totally out can make your phone unstable. Think about it like a car, when it has 100 hp's and you tune it to 150 hp's things might break.
From stock 528 to 768 isn't a walk in the park, it's +45%

Yes I have setCPU and when I set my procesor to about 710 Mhz it lags and freezes. When I set it to about 580 it is doing the same. The only one solution of this I think is to reinstal the kernel.
Now I have 2.6.32.21-HCDRJacob-ga91 e 73b- [email protected] 1.
That is the full name of it. And in setcpu info it shows me before the version ( 2.6.32.21-HCDRJacob-ga91 e 73b- [email protected] 1) Linux versio... Maybe thats the problem???
And I have to find some solution as fast as possible because sometimes when somebody calls me I cant answer because of a biiiig lag. And then I cant do anything.
Thx for help

What id the minimum speed set to? I wouldn't go below 160. And my max is 672mhz.
Are you running different profiles or just the main profile in setCPU? Mine used to lag when i had a few profiles running but i have removed them all and only using the main profile and the lag has now gone.

when i went to wildpuzzle i found whatever speed i set my processor through set cpu it froze about 4-5 times a day. after flashing the kernel to remove overclocking it has not frozen in a week. everything really responsive, checking auto detect speeds with set cpu shows max 528mhz min450mhz

I tried many options and at last its OK. firstly I had a big difference between max and min of my procesor at setCPU, so I tried to set it to min about 630 and max about 700.
Now it is OK I dont know how, but I am happy the ****y problem is somehow solved and everytjing now goes very smoothly, thx u all
