Hello!
I would like to try WP7 on my HD2, but I need to be sure that I will be able to underclock the CPU. I need to underclock it because I have a problem with my phone and underclocking seems to solve it.
So, is there an app or any other method to do that? I tried to search the forum, but couldn't get the definite answer.
Thanks!
not at the moment. theres no app that does it.

I've just begun overclocking my 8125. starting at 220 and i'll work my way up slowly to a maximum of 265 if possible.
I was wondering if anyone had any horror stories that would make me change my mind about overclocking. Like permanantly damaged devices. I've searched the forums and cant find a single one, which leads me to beleive that it truly is completly safe. But i thought i'd start this thread to make sure.
The worst that I've had happen to me (or heard of happening to someone else) with overdoing the overclock is the device showing the 'white screen of death' which just forces you to soft-reset your device. It's really not anything that bad ^_^

i've been overclocking at 242 or 260 for over 2 months now and I haven't had any problems. My sweet spot is 242, it runs GREAT on this speed and it is a tad more stable than 260.
It is possible to brick your device if you try a speed to fast. 240 is perfectly safe, anything above that can be unstable.
I know its possible to fry a chip through overclocking. I remember frying one of my amd k6-2 processers awhile backl. I just find it odd that even though its possible to fry your wizard. and so many people overclock, that i haven't heard one story about a wizard being broken this way.

Been running mine @ 240 for a while now and everything seems fine.
My phone is mainly on stand-by during the day, but when I do use it for extended periods (evenings and weekends) I use Wi-Fi a lot and read a lot of ebooks which can be quite power consuming - however, the overclocking seems to have no noticeable affect on the phone other than making it quicker...
afaik
MOST "PORTABLE" CPU'S CAN MUCH FASTER THAN THEY DO BUT AT THE COST OF POWER THE CPU'S ARE "UNDERCLOCKED" TO SAVE POWER
SORRY MY CAPS IS STUCK AND i JUST NOTICED IT...

overclocking after standy freezes for a while!
This query is not related to the thread, but forgive me as I didn't want to start a new one.
I've smarskey with the overclock feature enabled and omapclock.exe running nicely. It hasn't been giving me trouble at all. However, I've one problem..
After the phone goes in standby after a period of inactivity and when I hit the power button again to use the phone, I notice a freeeze in time display. It takes a while before time changes from say 11:30 to 3:30.
I know Smartskey 'wakes' up the overclocking process again and this maybe the reason why my phone somewhat freezes for a very brief period after I disturb the standby mode, but I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this, its kinda annoying.
Thanks
Does not sound that bad, I think your problem is that you can't just take your phone out to have a look at the time :wink: am I right?
Well perhaps that would really be kinda annoying.
But it also sounds like there is no real solution to this. Just try reinstalling the apps, certainly there is a software conflict (if this is not a normal effect).
Perhaps you can also use another possibility than smartskey. I think BatteryStatus and OMAPScaler also have options to overclock at wakeup.
thanks..

thanks for the advice, i'm thinking about using memaid.
here is a program i got from the htc webiste to overclock a 8125. i tried it on my t-mobile wing and it works fine. it overclocks up to 300+mhz but 240mhz is most stable.
there is a pretty significant increase in response time after running the program.. simply install on your device>>run the program>>>select speed>>>then hit action>>set clock and presto instant speed
HAs anyone else done this?
Has anyone used this on their P4350 yet? I don't want to wreck my brand new Herald so I wanna know if anyone else has used this to overclock a P4350

Use the BatteryStatus Plugin can be found in the Prophet forum and was also dicussed here in the Herald forum. It has many more functions plus a much advanced overclocking tool
Hi, I'm rather new to all this. I need a little help. I've installed the soft from idondysh to overclock my herald. It actually works ok. It however doesn't stay overclocked. Any suggestions? Do I need to leave the software active for the herald to remain overclocked?
Exactly, OMAPclock has to run constantly if you want your device to stay overclocked.
has anyone experienced any drawbacks after overclocking>>?
yes... you get addicted to the speed...
it will shorten the lifespan of the processor... but really.. r u planning on using it another 6-10 yrs? didn't think so.
I am very new to this phone... I've been reading around here the last couple days trying to figure this thing out!
Once installing this program, or any other, how can I make sure it's always running?
Thanks!

Huge drain in batterylife is the biggest side effect you will face.
what is the highest that the wing can be overclocked and what would be the best program to do so?

You are prob going to be slammed with 'use the search feature', but, I'm bored as hell at work, so I thought I'd help.
You will find many people use different speeds, and different programs. The two I've used are batterystatus and Omap. Personally, I like batterystatus, and I've safely clocked mine to 299mhz.
BatteryStatus? Isn't that way old?
I highly recommend HomeScreen Plus Plus (which is the new version of Battery Status) just google it and you'll find it and download the Advanced verson not the Basic one.
And I safely overclock it to 299 with no problems. I went to 312 once but every so often the phone would rest itself.
HS++ is also good cause it auto underclocks and auto overclocks your device so when your phone is sleeping it saves battery .

+1000000 this is awesome man! thanks
i want to thank everyone that had responded i did a little research and i was confused. ya see i am using batterystatus .04 and if i go above 260 my phone freezes and to be quite frank i had 2 wizards that i believe died from overclocking. they both one day randomly after a reset went to the bootloader screen and stayed. i had tried a hard reset and flashing the unit with no luck personally i dont have a clue what happened and with this one being my only source of 'net access i cannot mess it over once again thank everyone whom responded

Hmm wow I'm sorry for your Wizard but the Wings can go up to 299mhz without dying and the good thing about HS++ is that if you enable CPU Scaler and set the overclock to say... like 400 and your phone freezes, just plug in your charger and reset your phone. The CPU Scaler is disabled as long as you have a power cord plugged in your phone (your phone stays on it's native speed) so you can just go back into the CPU Scaler overclock settings and lower it and try again ^_^!!
So just use the CPU Scaler to find the highest overclock speed but never just set the overclock speed in the normal overclock menu. Use the CPU Scaler auto overclock option and you won't need to hard reset your phone.
thanks for the advice. so it is possible to kill a unit with overclocking i just wanted to be sure, cause when i asked in the wizard forms if i am not mistaken no one answered me. i had also asked hct via a number provided to me by tmobile and they said the stock "i dunno we will have to look at the unit and that will be $180" towhich i responded f**k!! that i can get a new unit for under 130 off of ebay then got a wing....

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.

I also want to know this. I'm using my Hermes as a PDA only since the radio died so I don't really care about that phone problem.

Hi.
I just rooted my Aria and everything is going great. I installed an Overclocking widget that has a function to underclock when the screen goes off, but when it comes back on, the phone is so slow that the reset to proper clock speed takes forever - this annoyed me, so I removed the app.
The problem is, it still does it. Is there anywhere I can look to find out where this function resides and remove it so that the phone never changes its clock speed? I know its kind of a weird question. I went into Superuser Permissions and set the Overclock Widget to "DENY" hoping this would stop it, but it keeps it up!
Also, since installing the Liberated_Aria rom, my phone constantly disconnects from Mobile Wireless. If I go into settings and turn MW off and on, it works fine, until the next time the screen shuts off. Any ideas what might cause this? I doubt its related to the ROM, it just started happening around the time I flashed.
Sorry, Im pretty new to this stuff. I will clarify where needed if my explanations sucked.
Your not going to be able to underclock without a kernel that supports it.

ah ok, yeah, sorry, Im pretty new at this stuff and dont know much about it. Either way, it was setting it to 245mhz every time the screen shut off but I fixed it by removing the app, removing the privledges, and installing SetCPU which is maintaining the 600mhz the whole way through.
New question: can the Aria be overclocked? Is there any data available about what the acceptable thresholds are? Id like to get my emulators running a bit better. :O

still need a kernel which supports clocking. doesnt exist yet for the aria/liberty
Doesn't the aria throttle itself anyways? I remember reading that it runs at ~480mhz when idle.

yeah but he was trying to run it lower than 480.... which can still be done. just need a kernel.
