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.
cu seneca
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.

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.

PocketHack Master V4 is now out with Tytn support. Be warned that at it's highest setting of 440mhz i had to HARD reset my device.... Must start at a lower speed next time and work my way up!
I'm still in the middle of restoring!!

have you found a need to overclock the device then...., might works fine for what I use it for
Thanks for pointing this out... I updated the FAQs on the wiki.
It automatically scales the processor voltage onSamsung S3C2440 processors
so does this clock it over 440mhz, because an extra 40mhz doesnt really sound worthy of paying for software, especially when the TyTN is pretty snappy?
So... do you need to stick it in a fridge or anything afterwards?
I think the main idea of using the program is to allow a "super battery saving" mode, by underclocking the device it will use less power....obviously impacting performance-wise but still!
The main reason I wanted PHM was to help render web pages faster. My tytn downloads quicker than the works PC on normal broadband but the pages take longer to 'finalize' the page (i.e.. you can scroll down a page and it's still inserting images). This is a CPU speed issue.
I have finally got to play with PHM and it still needs more work! Just doing a test at tytn's default 400Mhz crashes my phone, never mind higher! I never got much higher than 300Mhz, how strange!!
Hack Master V4 not ready for primetime!
As others have noted, don't waste your time on Hack Master v4. I played with it, only to find it causes crashes, no matter what you do. Also, I found that it caused an incomplete Hard Reset. So, I had to do the manual hard reset twice, to get TYTN working again correctly.
Also, the Wiki should be updated to show there are still problems for anyone wanting to OC the TYTN.
I stupidly tried PHM too, and have just suffered a partial hard reset. Here goes the long and frustrating reinstall...

aren't we allowed to take these people to court? False advertising and damaging my equipment? They must have had enough emails by now and yet the same program is still there advertising the same things, very poor...
We should probably change the title of this thread to say "OVERCLOCKING: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT..." :idea:

They can get away with it through the fact that they tell you to backup your device before you use the program. Coming from an XDAII where PHM worked perfectly though, I stupidly assumed that the quality of the product would be at least the same or even better after numerous updates.
I'm pretty much set up again now, but I'll certainly be looking at purchasing a backup solution before I put my trust in something like that again.
Don't think about it, even with a backup... While trying to overclock my TyTN smoothly, it's now on the way to service (no more booting at all...)
Gx
Oops ... you should have read this thread before even trying overcloking ...
sorry for ya mate !!!
I find my Jasjam (Hermes) runs very fast and I don't see the point in over clocking it when it runs fast enough normally.
Have XCPU Scaler, in autoscale mode working up to 500mhz, on a cingular 8525 (HERM100), no resets, no problem.
>Edit
Also scaled down to 200mhz on the low side for super battery saver.

?Glitch that is amazing not just the speed but the fact that their is no problems!!!!!!!!

you'll be needing one of those new spangly batteries with extra life to cope with a processor increase like that.
@?Glitch: Can you post some screenshots?
That's awesome .. Has anyone else tried this program out? How's it working for you?
I'm using the XCPUScalar with its CPU load based setting.
Normally I set the speed to only 200MHz while on heavy load it speed-up back to 400MHz and 500NHz on very high load.
On day-to-day use it looks like extending the battery life (working on lower clock rate) whiles much quicker route calculation when using the navigation program.
Currently I faced now problem.
Anyone tried this program? I am using OmapClockPlus now but I like the idea of using different speeds depending on the load to save battery. Especially the underclocking while idle.
Was thinking of trying Pocket Hack Master but it seemed to freeze up the wizard requiring a hard reset.
This program even lists the Wizard/K-Jam/Qtek 9100 in the list of devices it works with.
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=7325
I have just tried this program and it works - good find. Cannot try autoscale because it is disabled in trial version. Someone needs to pay $15 and report back
cab attached
So does this automatically adjust the clock speed depending on the wizards state then? i.e does it slow the clock speed down when it goes idle then speed it up again on resuming?
Does not omapscaler do that already? [autoscale on load]

i was using this for a few hours, but had issues with it soft resetting itself... i think maybe it was the scaling function cause it seemed to do it when only sometimes when switching speeds..

Hi faria - omapscaler does do this but at the moment is too unstable and buggy to use long term. Interesting to see if xcpuscalar is stable or not.

Have you purchased xcpuscalar 2007 then? shame if its is unstable.
mb5049 - yes this is what it does - cpu speed varies on load.
xcpuscalar has a max speed of 260mhz - which is a shame.

True, but it only goes from Default to your own setting. The scaling works so you can have a lower clockspeed, as low as 100 MHz while idle, and only as high as it has to be with heavier load. This ought to save a lot of battery.
But if you want it to clock at eg. 240 MHz all the time and default while idle OmapClockPlus would be your choice. I'm really happy with the program but I'm not so happy with the battery usage and am trying to find a way to extend it.
warrenty
i have tmobile u.s mda. will it work with it? will it void my warrenty? thnx.
In the forum at Immiersoft.com there are quite a few K-jam owners reporting unstability. The issue seems to have been brought to their attention so hopefully they will soon release a stable update.

It may not be the software but the processor that is causing the instability. It may not like its speed being varied so often. Omapscalar is unstable too - maybe this is why.
you mean this is payware? ha ha ha... i had no idea...
here is the story... someone sent me the retail zip, had an exe, a readme, an install, and a cab.. so i wasnt near my computer, downloaded to my phone, used the pokcet zip and installed the cab... nowhere did it say anything about registration... nor does it now...
I read on another forum that people who are experiencing lockups to try changing the power setting to "turbo" or "max performance."
It should stop the lockups, I suppose.
Reply back to see if that solves the issue. If it does, then I'm gonna try it out.
Sent my wizard into a endless reset loop. Brought me back to my Treo650 days. I'm going back to omap which has been working fine so far.

Glad to see it works for you - unfortunately I was unable to get it to be stable even at 234. It did seem to scale correctly when it was workign though. I hope the author can sort out the issues.
Then, it seems I won't review this version either - I've sent the developer a mail to ask for a reviewable version if it's already bug-free. I'll wait, it seems
I want to overclock my 8525 as it's really been slow lately, and I've read a lot of threads about PocketHackmaster not working correctly and xcpu scaler not being correct for our CPU, etc, etc.
But I came across some good feedback on the HTC Performance cab working very well on Apache and some other HTC phones to make them work a lot faster with little noticable drop off on battery life, and I wanted to see if anyone knows if this overclocking cab will work safely on our 8525's before I tinker with it (I don't want to risk a hard reset).
Thanks.

If you search on google, you can find there are a few posts saying you shouldn't be doing this, if you want to have a longer battery and a longer life of your device. If you want to upgrade in the next 3 to 6 months why not, try it out. Here is the file, ... I would not go near it, happy enough to use my current ROM the way it is.
Check this post what it did to the kaiser.
Here is the cab for those who's willing to try.
Edit, don't bother it doesn't work, the mod has advised if you look at the post and the rest of the thread above.

I did a Google search on overclocking after going thru XDA first, and came across this thread on PPC Geeks: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11573
I've tried xpu scaler before and didn't see any difference (and subsequently read a couple threads saying it wasn't made for the Samsung CPU in our 8525's), so I wanted to see if there was another one out there that could reliably upgrade the speed of the 8525.
I may give this one a whirl and let you know unless anyone has any other suggestions on one I should try instead...
Ok, so I've been running this HTC Performance cab for a few days now on my 8525, and I definitely think it's running smoother with it on (I was just messing around turning it on and off and went to the same programs, etc, and I see a noticable difference in how fast things are opening and closing)
I have it set on 520 mhz 'maximal cpu speed', with 'enable dynamic cpu frequence changing' checked
I haven't had a chance to check battery life as I was playing around most of yesterday installing a new spb pocket plus program and messing with adding icons, etc, but I'll report back and let you know if I notice anything different with battery life as well.

I installed it on my Dopod 838pro running Schaps 4.30 yesterday.
Nothing happened for a while.
No menu or shortcut to activate the speed up either.
When I got home last night, the Dopod is practically dead!
It would power on & flicker out before it completely boots up.
Luckily, I had my firiend's old Dopod in my drawer.
Took a charged battery from the spare and my 'bricked' Dopod came to life.
But died again later that night.
Hard resting it did no good either.
Looks like it flattens the battery & then refuses to charge it!
Today, I put another freshly charged battery, booted it and flashed in Satin Normal.
Right now, it is connected to my notebook and when turned on shows the battery as slowly charging. Hope it stays fixed!
I recommend all folks avoid this patch!
Stay tuned!
Phew!
After waiting anxiously overnight, it appears that re-flashing my ROM (from Schaps 4.30 to Black Satin Normal) seems to have fixed my problem.
Battery is still at 90%!
Hi! I just overclocked my Hermes to 450Mhz and its a lot faster in every aspect, i love it, its stable. BUT I have the issue that i cant make a phone call or turn on bluetooth when overclocked... I tried smallest overclock 410mhz, the result is the same. any help anyone? It would be awesome to squeeze a little more out of my Hermes. for overclocking i used Pocket Hack Master. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
That's the problem with overclocking the Hermes. I did it a long while back and had the same problem, even a small overclock will cause the phone not to function properly.
