Has anyone noticed any long term disadvantages to overclocking the Wizard? Does the battery life permanently decrease? What speeds are you running yours at, and how long have you been doing it? Have you noticed anything at all which indicates it's not good for the hardware?
Cheers

i believe that it's safe to overclock the mda...just set it at an acceptable rate (264mhz for me) and make sure not to run the battery all the way down...if you overclock the settings too high the device will freeze and reset (this is a fail safe procedure it goes through), so there is no need to worry...also don't overclock the settings too low as the phone becomes disfunctional when too low (about less than 132mhz for me)...the screen flickers because it's not being refreshed quick enough (my guess)...hope this helps...
I would set it to 240. I have done before, i'm just wondering if it's a bad idea leaving it permanently set to that level?
Cheers
yea you should be fine at that speed, but if you want you can overclock it higher if it will let you...just make sure that the phone is stable when using it...like i said in my earlier post my device is oc at 264mhz
Cool, thanks for your replies. How long have you had yours overclocked for? Do you use Smartskey?
Cheers
My self i ownly use it when need the extra speed, only with some games and wmv video files. I think it definitely lowers battery life and i would have worries about overclocking all the time and the long term effect it has on the processor (not so important if you only keep your wizard for a year and then change with a new contract - what i do new device once a year!) I found good speed gains with the registry wizard - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
have not found overclocking produces that much extra speed.

Mine is also set at 264 24/7. Battery still lasts me all day. Been doing it since the oc program was found which I guess has been a couple of months.
Don't forget, you're wizard is only overclocked when it is active (i.e. not in standby mode). When your wizard goes into standby, it automatically goes back to the default 180mhz. Only when you bring it out of standby does it overclock again (assuming you're running it with smartskey with the option of overclocking on wakeup)
i'm using smartkey to constantly run at 264mhz...i have been doing this for a month now...like i said there is not really any problems with the batt unless you run it down totally...there was a post about this in the overclocking thread...the process is set low so that the phone will have a longer batt life...this was also stated in the overclocking thread...theoretically there is more wear if you overclock it since you are making the processor work harder, so use it at your own risk! if you want to be on the safe side then use smartkey and the overclocking prog in the same directory...then use total commander's note pad (while the ini file is highlighted) and change the value lower when you don't want it to constantly run at 264mhz or whatever speed you want to overclock or underclock at...just use it when needed, but i overclock mine constant 264mhz with great results combined with tweaks2k2, registry wizard, and of course the tmobile custom rom ...internet is a blast...just wish i could get it to run like the IE in a pc
anyways hope this helps out a bit further...
activesync
your activesync will hang allot if you overclock, I have noticed this.
DOnt know why.
For some reason i stumbled onto something, im sure its been mentioned b4 but when running Wisbar advance with a Windows vista skin done by xcillion, i am able to overclock my cingular 8125 to 288mhz at a stable rate with no problems at all, can run warcraft 2 full speed with over 50 units battling it out on screen, almost doubles browsing speed and i can run all the emulators including SNES at full speed with sound. when i dont have wisbar advance running i cant go past 240mhz clocking speed. I wonder has anyone else noticed this or gone higher than 288 without a freeze. Also, my battery life runs steady for a full day of browsing the internet talking on mobile messanger and listening to music at half volume for a full day.

hey sonic, where did you get your copy of warcraft 2 for windows mobile ?
I've never heard of warcraft for Windows mobile, how does it run on a 240 MHz overclock?
I got it from the Wargus engine. i can email you the files if need be, i dont want to jeprodize this sites reputation. The game last time i checked was free though...
Actually I'm not sure if it's the overclocking issue or not but ...
For couple of weeks now my Wizard's red led is on all the time, not like it is when your battery is very low but about half of this brightness. I'm not really worried about that, it doesn't change much but it may be connected with overclocking (it was 240 for about a month).
Another thing - once I had sth like 110% speed of every tone played, either a phone call or an incoming message.
It doesn't really matter to me since it's still working fine but it may mean that overclocking isn't that safe as we might think.
TroLoo
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.
Hi,
I have Qtek s200 for a few days now, and i want to know what is the best overclock speed for the CPU. I use BatteryStatus and so far I have overclocked to 221. 234 and 247, The highest temperature it reached was about 43 degrees Celsius according to the monitoring of Battery Status.
I think that this temperature is too high for the poor thing, please share your experience of overclocking s200.
Thanks!
P.P. Just a quick question, totally off the topic, does s200 sound a bit quiet in a phone conversation?
overclocking
i put usual overclocking to 204, while im watching video in phone i raise it to 240, think maximum prophet can go is 252 without major problems
& for sound question --sound in phone conversation is fine, only external speaker sux
Thanks for the answer.
What overclocking application are you using?

Omap clock
Hi.
I have a question about this mobile device.I set the lock screen with a gesture , once sometimes twice tapped,the phone will not unlock.It is in this type of normal ? Does anyone else ? Thank You Onder
same here dud..plus the battery draining problem
hii there,
My cousin who owns a redmi note 7s,he plays free fire on it,so as to achieve max accuracy and increase his pro-ness(such dumb nit-pocking),his friend(who knows nothing about tech stiff) suggested my cousing to increase dpi(from developer options) all the way upto maximum,until the point where phone goes into soft-brick :/ i.e. around 700-800(default is around 406 ).when he plays game,phone heats up really bad at 100% load(possible throttling),so he had to set graphic setting to lowest,but there are other complications such as system-wide freeze(crash) when he recieves a call while gaming,also he is not able to pick it up because of freezing,it takes around 4-5 mins for phone to get back to normal,another issue is keyboard not popping up in ingame chat,these are all signs of serious process load and throttling,causing all background processes to crash.I want to make sure that this is really happening because of those huge dpi changes? or could be something else?Also if it is consistent(abnormal temps),it will affect life of chipset in the long run no?
