Hey, i Am using the Omap Battery status plugin and I was wondering if I it was safe to overclock the device to 247 MHZ constantly so it will turn on and jump to 247 all the time. Will this have any longterm effect on the device? will it damage the cpu?? do i have to worry ??

Should be fine - have overclocked my wizard and artemis to 247mhz without a problem - many overclock to 260mhz.
Should be alright, since many htc devices are running on TI OMAP 850 cpus. Overclocked my Prophet a log time to 247MHz with no problems.
I don't think it will do any harm, I am clocking at 247 constantly, for about a half year. no prob so far
I overclock my MDA to 286Mhz and don't have any problems. YMMV, but given that the OMAP in the Herald is a newer rev, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a little more headroom in it.
FYI: My Wing has arrived, and it's currently overclocked to 299MHz without any issues.
over 300 makes it freeze right??

Try and tell me how it goes!!! *evil*
Never thought 299 would be stable on an OMAP, but it's definitly because of the newer revisions of the OMAPs in HTC latest devices. My old prophet would have burned by anything above 234/247MHz
312MHZ Freeze, okay after Soft reset, no evident damage.
I run it on 260 continuously now, do you run yours on 273 continuously ?

I ran it for two weeks stable, but at 286MHz I already had some sudden freezes.
I'm using 273MHz now with BatteryStatus CPU Scaler.
Running 273MHz continiously results in heavy battery drain (1 max 1,5 days), not a big surprise.
no damage to be expected on long term use ?
Nope. I used it on wizard for 2 years without problems.

Search either for OMAPclock or BatteryStatus (in the HTC Prophet section) I recommend last, because it has many other practical features you might like. OMAPclock would simply be for oc'ing. cheers
my wizard runs at 299 software crashes at 312 but the phone doesn't
sorry if this is a lil random but i've joined a couple of forums already and have lost track what is where, how do i go about installing the battery status plug in on my t-mobile wing, i have a link which can either give me a .cab file or the desktop set up, i know nothing about overclocking and would appreciate any advice to this, sorry if this was already in this thread
Download the latest BatteryStatus (CAB-file) from the sticky thread in the HTC Prophet section and copy it onto your Wing and doubleclick the CAB to install. Everything else should be easy to figure out, otherwise come back here

Hello,
Has anyone tried using XCPUScalar? There is a new version available released today. I'd just like to know your comments if it's worth it, and if this type of application is safe to use.
Poch
I use v2.53 which seems very stable.
I'm not sure how good it is at over-clocking and the real difference this makes yo the XDA's useability.
However, the fact that it can reduce CPU speed depending on need, and therefore extend battery life is quite useful.
From the release notes for 2.6, there are a couple of improvements I'd welcome, such as the ability to set the speed on boot rather than revert to default.
Is it stable...? Did it hardreset anyone?
Last time I tried to overclock a PDA was with one of my Ipaqs... it hard reset... and I never did it again...
Can someone give me enough reasurance to try this new piece of SW?
Thanks,
Chris
started using xcpu scalar last night, and i gotta say, its incredible!
got my xda2 running at 530mhz at the moment
before that i used to use pocket hack master, and was good, but complicated,* plus my xda2 would only run stable at 528mhz*
so i got 2mhz extra lol! ;-)
i highly recomend!!
Thank you!
But... how do you know up till what point is stable... and at what point it hardresets? How do you know you could push it to 530 rather than 500 or 700? You push it until it crashes? You get a warning message?
Sorry if the question is a bit naive :roll:
Thanks,
Chris
The maximum stable frequency for xda2 is 472-530 Mhz.
Where 472 has more benefits in stability and fatest memory clock.
Mine runs good on 530 in Os menu,but freezes instantly in hard processing soft..like Quake,WmPlayer.(it is also like to anaylze if some programs are running in background and don't support these frequencies)
Note: some application like Camera are more sensitive than others to overclocked fr. but personally I did only encontered benefits in Camera app with more fps.
A benchmark reported that in same cases better performance is on 400mhz and 472 max. (on xda2)
Faster overclock will only degrade your performance,but you can try it.. at least you will have to Soft-Reset or Hard-Reset your device,so backu-up first all your data.

There is no 2mhz extra,the real freq. is 528 but approx. to 530
Also Hack Master is recommende for more professional use,because it offer many options like no other overclock application.

Has anyone managed to overclock the tytn with pocker hack master or xcpuscalar?
For me hack master freezes the device with every settings and
xcpuscalar only "underclocks". And shows false information about the device being overclocked.
Sorry no help here, its just nice to see a nother person who baught both
Overclocking utilities for the PDA tend to be CPU specific. You'll need a utility that is designed for the Samsung CPU.
But for what overclocking? I am really happy with the current cpu speed

Those progs are supposed to support samsung cpu's.
Not a hundred percent sure about the specifk models,
too lazy to check.
Allthou I remember reading something about samsungs power saving on wm5 resetting the speeds and those two programs developers inadept or unwilling to circumvent that. Im guessing the former.
Since otherwise am betting they would do it.
And yes the speed is great. but overcloking is fun.

I think it means that the cpu is soldered on the motherboard, you cannot "replace" it like in a normal computer.

I think it means that the cpu has many layers, so the stuff in the cpu is
stacked. Makes the cpu smaller etc.

I read something about what you say: something about first in last out or vice versa. in layer forms yes.
Something to figure out and post in webopedia or something trackable on the net.

Overclocking works fine for me.
I use xcpuscalar in auto-mode with the current settings :
200 mhz - 0-20%
400 mhz - 20-70%
500 mhz - 70-100%
Have had no problems with it - and the 200 mhz saves battery.

Mind running a few benchmarks? And check the speed from somewhere else
then xcpuscalar, it gives false readings.
I wouldn't have any idea how to do that.

Spb benchmark (free) and TCPMP also shows cpu speed, not sure about how reliably, but I guess more then xcpuscalar.
I would not trust xcpuscalars reading, when I tried it, it did too report 500mhz, but other programs showed 400 and benchmarks for 400 and 500 were the same.
The issue about xcpuscalars false readings has been discussed all over the net.
Under Clocking the unit really does not affect its stability, but really does extended the battery life, I have noticed about 40% increase in the battery life, when running the CPU at 200Mhz. :?

the beta 4.0 doesn't seem to support overclocking on the TyTN. Allegedly it will on the final version though...
Version v4.13.031 of Pocket Hackmaster has been released 12 Nov. 2006. Have anyone tried it? Thanks a lot!
Never mind. I tried it. Doesn't work. My TyTn needs a soft reset after testing.

I had similar experiences to you Wu. Happily overclocked to 733Mhz, on AC power, but crashed during movie playback 2 minutes into it.
Tried CPU Scalar many years ago and wasn't too impressed with its compatibility and stability then either. Definately removing it from my Ameo before it causes a major problem...like bricking my device!!
I saw a huge performance increase in WM6 over WM5 on the Universal...my bet is that we will see this same speed increase in the Athena when we get the WM6 upgrade.
Meanwhile, I'm happy with the Athena as is.
i have exactly the same problem like yours, wu!
then how come the other guy is running it normally?

I've not experienced any instability with WM6 on Universal in over a month now. Very fast indeed and much more stable than WM5 AKU 3.xxx......anyway, as this thread is about Athena & Overclocking, I merely mentioned speed improvements in WM6 on another device compared to O/C. We can discuss this further if you like in the Universal forum.

YESSS Sooo much more responsive!!! It's like upgrading processor feelings. I guess I don't really need the processor in Athena for now.
Improved XcpuScaler for athena available
There has been a revision of xcpuscaler to version 3.03 (2007) which seems to work fine on Athena.
I have been using it since yesterday and auto scaling works up to 663MHz.
The software interface does not cover the landscape screen fully although you can still make your selections by scrolling doen with the arrow head.
The upgrade is offered free for those who already have the 3.0 version.
Those using it please give your experiences.
Im using XCPUScalar v3.03 the latest one, and my Athena is very stable at 663Mhz (no auto-scale). Can not set it to 728 as it hangs after 20 seconds.
But running it at 663 is more then enough, it is more responsive and can handle 2 tasks the same time ...
I think it will run smoother and more reactive if we disable the auto-scale and running it all the time at 663 Mhz, but the battery life will be a lot shorter of course, I don't really mind as I will get a second battery
victoradjei
you said your using the auto scaling feature and it's stable on your device.
Can you give us more feedback if you are still using this feature??
is the device still stable?? what kind of SW are you running??
Im interested to know actually when you use TomTom, games, media player, waking up the device from sleep mode etc .... how it reacts when the CPU % change all the time.
I'm confused. Doesn't this device have built-in auto-scaling of processor speed? I've played with PocketMechanic, and it seemed to work well. I just wasn't sure it was needed on an on-going basis. The one place I might use it is playing back MPEG2 videos which is laggy in TCPMP. PM helped somewhat. Other thoughts?
hi,
i'm confussed!
the xcpuscalar soft is compatible with the athena?
the athena as a intel processor and the xcpuscalar soft says compatible with omap and scale processors

According to the product description, it supports xscale processor. Athena uses an xscale processor PXA270.
i am wondering if there is any possibility to overclock the cpu of the HD as it was possible on old HTC devices with omap processors?
i often found the HD to be very slow and i would like some more speed 9as probably most of us)
would it be adviseble to overclock it?
thanks for any useful info!
would be very cool! i bet htc is running it in a ridicolous safe speed =)
no infos on that matter?
any tech guy with some more experience?
nobody?
i did some research in to the matter, and there are some things that can be changed but i believe its just timeings, at the moment it would appear that you can not adjust the clock speed its self.
Also, changing the timings seemed to have a negative affect on stability, id imagin that whilst the clock speed may be running low, the timings are about as tight as you can get.
anyone tried using Pocket Hack Master yet?
will try it out tonight
I tried it but it didn't work. May not have been the right version perhaps.
It was a few weeks ago so I can't remember what actually happened when I tried it sorry.

id give up, i searched for ages to no avail, i believe the only thing that can we tweaked are various timings but it seems that almost any attempt improve these results in instability and crashing.
