Anyone tried overclocking this device with XCPUScalar yet?
Results?
I didn't have problems at all with the Exec running at 624Mz so maybe something can work on the Orbit.

That is a bit old. I have used Batterystatus which is a build on the raw omap clock. Even autoscale works perfect

Hi all,
I am trying to use Skype on my S200 and it works ok when using it for text (what could go wrong there anyway )
However if I try to call then I get prob's.
Very slow, then I get sound problems (reception mainly).
Is this a problem anybody else is experiencing as well? Does anyone here have a solution? I remember reading about overclocking but I thought the OMAP processor that qtek s200 had is good enough to handle Skype?!
For info I downloaded the mobile version for 9090 as only 2 were available. The other one was for qtek 9000 (which I have not tried out yet).
"The minimum requirements to run Skype for Pocket PC 2.0 are:
· OS: Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC or Pocket PC 2003
· Display: 320x240, 640x480 (portrait or landscape), 240x240, 480x480
· CPU: 312Mhz + (Optimized sound quality versions for Intel Xscale, 312Mhz and for 400MHz+), b
· Network: WiFi, 3G or EDGE "
Any ideas/suggestions?
P.S. I would like to avoid the overclocking solution if possible.
Thanks!
Hi Makis,
I am afraid you have to go through overclocking to get acceptable performances with Skype. I am currently using the latest version for Mobile (2.0) downloadable from the skype site.
Search the forum for OmapClock and Skype... you'll find all directions to run it.
...until a new version, optimized for Omap/dual core comes out... if ever...
Bye.

Hi
Which one ? The one for slowest processor or the "normal" one ?
Thx for your answer.
slvrbllt,
Thanks for the reply.
I guess no other way around it. Overclocking it is then. One of these days I will give it a try, I remember seeing something about over clocking in here.
PS
Did you download the one for 9090 or 9000?
Thanks again.
See last post in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40583&highlight=skype+arm
and you should be able to try out the older, but specialized Skype for ARM devices, unlike the Xcale version that everyone here is using which is causing problems on Prophet. Download the GENERIC ARM version and give it a try.
Please post your results after trying it out.
krale thanks!
very helpful indeed.
For those who will read this in the future I think it is better if you follow the link that krale provided were you can find more specific and detailed info on this subject.

Look for A2DP tread on this forum... Sorry, I can't point you directly.
skype version
You can use the older Skype ARM version, however you won't have access to the contacts you may have added on your desktop version, since it is the newer v.2 which supports the server contact list.
However I'm using the new version of Skype without problems, overclocked to 240 of course.
Get the 312Mhz version from here:
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/download.html
I haven't tried the high speed one, it may work if you feel like experimenting.
All,
Thank you for your replies and suggestions, everything was very helpfull.
I decided to give overclocking a try.
I tried the opmapclock that you can find in the forums (search for overclocking) There is also a step by step guide on how to keep your gadget overclocked the whole time, because once the phone goes to sleep you have to overclock it again.
I tried my S200 running on 228Mhz and 240Mhz (skype worked fine) and so did all the other applications. I found the 228 enough to see a small improvement.. DO NOT expect miracles and please be careful since there can be some issues if youi over do it. I suggest you do some research in here before you decide to overclock.
I used the latest skype version (I think it is the 2.0 version).
Anyway I hope someone else can also find this info usefull in the future.
Once again thanks for all the help..
Makis
You also have the option of using other VOIP solutions. Do a search for SJphone and sipdiscount and you'll find more info. I can use SJphone without overclocking, but I need to overclock to 240 for the new version of skype.
Thanks Matterhorn I will have a look.
Hi guys!
I'm tryign to overclock my Jamin, to 240MHZ, with a simple guide found on this forum... (omapclock and memmaid...)
I think i do the right stuff but... I can I see/test the actual MHZ of my cpu? Can I search for a specific running task to be sure the overclock is running?
Why not just run a benchmark and see the results for yourself?
The Jamin seems to works fine and swifth at 240MHZ but I'd like to make a test/benchmark too....
well, that's what I just sugested, isn't it ?
With The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) you can see the speed at which the processor is running in the options menu. Google to find the app ( it is freeware AND the best media player, much better than WMP).
I try with TCPMP and it show me speed = 225MHZ but in OmapClk the showen speed is 240MHZ...... :roll:
TCPMP is known to report other CPU speeds. Just use the benchmark function with and w/o having overclocked and you'll see the difference in computing speed.
Okay but... is there any programs to make serious benchmark on pda? Is it free?
Look for SPB Benchmark. Free for personal usage.
Has anybody had luck with overclocking the TyTN? I tried a while back, and Pocket Hackmaster hard reset my device... xCPUScalar didn't do anything. I need to squeeze an extra 100MHz if possible for my psx emulator - thanks!

nothing yet.. PHM killed my device also, however i was successfully able to underclock to 251MHz... and xpuscaler wont work becuase the hermes/TyTn doesnt have an OMAP processor
That's a shame! I'm really looking forward to squeezing some more speed out of my TyTN!
what psx emulator are you using? where can i get it??
Hi,
When i will install a program and they have 3 cabs
for a ARM, MIPS or SH3.
What kind can i use for my HTC Hermes 300 (MDA Vario 2)?
Is ARM MIPS and SH3 a processor type?
Thanks for helping.

Wow, it's been a *long* time since I've seen someone ask that question. If you don't mind my asking, what software are you trying to install? It sounds like something from early Pocket PC era or even before that when they were called "Palm Sized PC's". Pretty much everything these days is ARM compatable, regardless of processor to avoid the problem of developers having to assemble three separate executables.
If I remember correctly the last WinCE machines to have Hitachi (SH3) processors were the HP500 (Palm sized) and HP600 (Handheld) series. MIPS? I think the long gone (but fondly remembered) Casio's used them.
i install AlarmClock Ver. 0.04
is the only freeware program i can find
it's better then the build in alarm.
that goes off before i have the change to awaken. . .
ahaha!
I remember my Casio Cassiopeia EM505 !!!
PocketPC 2000....mips!
Some Freewares softwares

I think you didn't moved to this site and some others but I like this one coz it is totally free or some high quality software with shareware. Also you will find the incredible work of xda-developers there. I don't know if it is their owned site or they are being taken to that site somehow. Here is the link

Hi Guys,
i am trying to get a Win95 programme, specifically Panzer general working on my athena, using PB Dual 3.0...not seeming to have alot of luck, got the protected msg error with pocketdos...
i cant seem to find a way, its a way old programme and the athena is 10x more powerful then min specs in every way
any help?
a 400Mhz arm based cpu cant hold a cantle to a 400Mhz x86 cpu
mhz is not everything
is there no way? i mean the programme has been ported for palm, it only required a 66mhz iirc, i am sure a 600mhz must be able to cope with it?
iirc correctly it ran with dos 6 too!
