Pocket Hack Master & running the Universal @ 624 Mhz

Pocket Hack Master runs the Jasjar version of the HTC Universal @ 624 Mhz with no apparent problems. It passes the stress test at this setting and runs video at this setting. I've noticed that when running video, Pocket Hack Master's processor use utility doesn't completely max out when the processor speed is set @ 624 Mhx and that (as others have noted) running video slower than 624 Mhz results in noticeable frame rate slowness.
Since it's only rated to run @ 520 Mhz, I'm wondering if running it @ 624 Mhz will shorten the processor life or cause more serious problems. The only definitive way to know would be to run long-term on the Universal @ 624 Mhz.
Can anything think of a way besides running a long-term test to determine if damage is being done to the Uni's processor by running it @ 624 Mhz?

I too am interested in this. What do people advise running at, at most?

PS: On my Xda Exec it fails the 624 test each time, only 520 works.

I also have the same problem - it fails the 620mhz test

mine freezes @ 624, ocasionally. Not very usable, and quite annoying. I do see the difference in performance, but it crashes too often to be true :roll:
Tried Latest XCPUSCALAR my screen goes mad, and crazy, also unusable. UNFORTUNATELY :evil:

Hmm weird, my XDA Exec runs just fine a 624 MHz in Pocket Hack Master wonder why some people are having problems...

Yeah mine has been fine @624 for two days no glitches at all mines a T-Mobile MDA Pro

mine is now approaching 3 weeks at this speed and its fine !!! TBH the CPU will be running a little warmer, because you are asking more of it !! but its not as if you are putting extra voltage into it or anything so the chances of it blowing or miniscule !! if it gets unhappy it will just lock up. any here are the settings I used in PHM
I left all the timings of every thing as normal but pushed the multiplier up 1 more to 624 MHZ if I try 2 more (728 MHZ) it crashes before it even begins the burn in stability test :shock: suffice to say all the timings are identical to a genuine intel 624 MHZ CPU
Using Anton Tomov's pocket hackmaster version 2005
L = 16
N = 06
A = 01
Turbo enabled
half turbo disabled (dunno what the point of a half turbo is, it just seems to halve CPU speed)
LCD_26 = 00 (dunno what this does but seems to have no effect)
Fast Bus enabled
after adding it dont forget to set as favourite and then you can enable the speed
using the above settings should give you this
CPU = 624
BUS = 208
RAM = 104
LCD = 104
Turbo enabled
SI (speed index) now 373 up from 341
MIPS (millions of instructions per second) now 261 up from 217
Memory (even though I did not overclock the memory bus) now 486 up from 465
as stated 1 more step to 728 MHZ is a no go, and if you try to decrease the bus speed and up the multiplier to get speeds in-between 624 and 728, it starts suffering from bottlenecking and is not worth it if you look at the actual stats of data rate (MIPS memory etc) despite the higher figure of CPU MHZ its actually running slower the other drawback to strange bus speeds is that screen begins to flicker

guys I apologise in advance for my dumb question : but where do I get the Pocket Hack Master;
or in fact where is a good source for progs and utilities for WM5 (I am new to this OS and platform) ???
I would appreciate your help and any directions!

im getting sick of xda pda.
i have xda,xda ll,xda lls & xda lli
i find all those pda r junk and useless.
gave me too much problem.
i even loose my business because of this useless pda

8525/Hermes Overclocking

Just wanted to say hi as a new member and post some overclocking results using XCPUScalar. I've used this software on a few devices with acceptable results, and it seems to help the hermes a bit as well. Below are my results (in case you visit both forums, I also posted them on PPCGeeks.com)
Of course XCPU's CPU meter says 500mhz, but I d/l SPB's benchmark software to see if there is any appreciable difference, hopefully someone here who is higher up in the geeky ladder than I am can explain the results, granted it would seem to me that the "CPU Benchmark" of 1190.58 on the pre-overclocked 8525 is lower than that of 1313.33 on the post-overclocked 8525. Full "misc" category test results are below:
Standard 8525:
Test Time Speed % of iPAQ 3650* speed
Compress 1 MB file using ZIP 4504 ms 225 KB/sec 212%
Decompress 1024x768 JPEG file 881 ms 319 KB/sec 100%
Arkaball frames per second 12 ms 83.3 frames/sec 77%
CPU test: Whetstones MFLOPS 4799 ms 0.078 Mop/sec 168%
CPU test: Whetstones MOPS 1504 ms 41.9 Mop/sec 123%
CPU test: Whetstones MWIPS 9734 ms 5.14 Mop/sec 173%
Memory test: copy 1 MB using memcpy 17.7 ms 56.5 MB/sec 80%
8525 Overclocked to 500mhz w/ XCPUScalar:

CPU test: Whetstones MOPS 1193 ms 52.8 Mop/sec 155%
CPU test: Whetstones MWIPS 9545 ms 5.24 Mop/sec 176%
Memory test: copy 1 MB using memcpy 17.7 ms 56.5 MB/sec 80%

XCPUScalar doesn't work on the Hermes unfortunately... at least it didn't a month back when I tested it. It reports that it is overclocked, but it isn't.

I am using the newest version, and those are the results. Seat of the pants it seems a bit snappier, and scored noticeably better in all of the categories tested w/ SPB Benchmark.

the hermes has a samsung processor and xpuscaler only works with TI OMAP processors... THIS will not work on the hermes!!!

If you're a brave little toaster, you can try your hand at Pocket Hack Master. I can test successfully at the lower speeds, but much past 300MHz it crashes. If you go too high, it hard resets your Hermes ><;

i can verify that.... however when i underclock mine would lock up after some time...

i think if you ran that test a few times, they would all average out to the same. Some of the tests came up slightly faster overclocked, and some were actually slower. looks like standard deviation to me.

3g Speed Question

I am running tests on my 8525 in the Winter Park/Orlando Florida area thru slreports/mspeed test - I am getting the following results:
339
459
447
401
428
454
385
443
503
356
476
512
157
337
268
338
450
These speeds are clearly all over the board and do not seem to come close to what others are showing. My question is how do I tell if the slow speeds are due to my phone or due to my network? I would be happy with speeds consistently in the 650-750 range but as you can see, I never really come close.
Thanks for any suggestions on how to resolve this issue and obtain faster speeds.

Although the amount of programs running on your phone could be an issue (if too much CPU time is being used up by them) I think the network is always going to be the limiting factor. Try resetting your phone before each speed test to rule out the phone part.
If it's any consolation, I was always getting 700-900 on my speed tests with my current ROM until a week or so ago. Now I'm getting 300-600, with only occasional bursts over 800. I haven't changed anything on the phone, so logically it must be network-based, which means either more users sucking bandwidth, or less bandwidth available (hopefully temporarily)
Now, if everyone in the Kent area on T-Mobile could please stop using their phones when I want the internet, that'd be great! Thanks.

I'm so sick of Att...
I have seen speeds of 32-930
most of the time 200 or less. BOO for Att's network!
Advertisements had it from 400-700 for the norm, BS. I called them a few times and they say in my market I should be getting the max speed. Yeah right! they should just admit their network is not up to snuff and lower the monthly $ until they can provide steady fast speed.

speed testing on the HD2

Speedtest.net is where I usually test the speed but that does not work on the mobile due to java etc.
My bro has just updated to 'N' Router and 50Meg Broadband with Virginmedia and I wonder how this can be shown on my mobile. Where can I go to test the speed that the HD2 is downloading at so I can compare My Belkin125 MIMO router at 20meg Broadband.
I have done the 'N' Cab update and not convinced that it has really made any difference to the speed of downloads.
TIA
Ricco

Hi, you could try http://www.mobilespeedtest.com/. There's a video of an HD2 test here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRlx3bsp0ho.

DSLreports has a mobile speed test as well.
I get around 600+ kbps with my HTC HD2 on T-Mobile US.

i got 1026 Kbps in Austria with HSPA
For best results you have to choose http://www.mobilespeedtest.com/test/huge.php
Then it will test with 2 MB and you will enjou your full HDPA-Speed
EDIT:
Now im getting around 1565

How the...I get 250-350 on an average...I get full 3G signals and all that...
I live at las vegas.
Update: Oh yay. 101kbps. wow. I'm just above dial-up.

Mobilespeedtest gives values all over the place that reflect more of "where are you living?" than "how fast is my connection?"
I get between 1000 and 2000kbps results on my PC, on a 25Mbps line.

at home via router.. network speed
what download speed do you get?

What browser for speed tests
I've read that speed tests should be done using Internet Explorer. It seems that Opera and Skyfire use their servers and could impact the results. Could someone say if this is truly the case.

dont bother with mobilespeedtest (well unless you live next door to them)
I've run loads of tests from phone and home (v media) and their results are always different and always slow.it reads my ten meg bb as never better than 2 or 3 meg.don't have an alternative though,sorry.

Yeah, every speed test seems to suffer in this area.

certainly for sky fire, yes, they are connecting completely on your behalf.opera is a bit different cos it doesn't always user the proxy(think theres a difference between opera mobile and opera mini, plus turbo mode in the new version...)

course, tethering the comp and running speedtest.net (always been bang on for me) from the comp would work.

In the default Opera version on the T-Mo US HD2 I got around 600 - 700kbps.
In IE through mobile speed tests right after the opera test I got 4762kbps
I'll have to tether it later and see what speedtest.net says lol.

New method to compare up/down load speeds cross platform

I was slum'in over on the EVO forum and there are a bunch of people there asking about Sprint speeds. Many are trying to compare their current platform and provider to make the decision on whether to jump or not. The problem is the cross platform comparisons did not make sense because there were too many variables. We also have many others seeking the same kind of info from the HD2 forum. I made the following suggestion. Maybe we can do the same thing here. It would let people with an HD2 know what types of speeds they could expect from different carriers in different parts of the country. It could also let others on other platforms compare to the HD2's speeds by carrier and location.
My suggestion:
Different browser's get too many variable speeds because of proxy and other problems to make comparisons relative. How about we try this to get closer to Apples to OS's. I believe that Opera Mini is the only browser that is common to the most OS platforms. It at least works on Android, WinMo and Apple now. If all the tests are run on Opera Mini and they are skewed by the proxy than we all will be skewed the same. We can then compare speeds, even though they are not the "real" speeds. The speed itself does not really matter. It is the comparison of speeds that matters.
http://testmyiphone.com/speedtest
is a non-flash mobile speed test that has large enough tests to get results for fast systems. Supposedly the larger the test the more accurate. If everyone who is going to test and compare uses Opera Mini and the"Dual 3MB" or "Dual 6 MB" test at testmyiphone than at least we will have something a bit more relative and scientific to compare. Some will find the 3MB is too small for test to run (fast systems) and others the 6MB will time out (slow systems). Just state which test you used.
It would also be helpful to quote the test speeds as done on your default browser as well so we can see approximately how skewed we are. Just say what browser it is.
OK, save your "who got skewed" jokes and get to testing.
Opera Mini - AT&T - Florida - HD2 T-9193 - WinMo 6.5
