Overclocking - is it possible? - Touch HD General

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.

there is a dynamic overclocking software for specifically qualcomm chipset. it's good anyway.

i wonder what software that would be?
can you point it for us? any details about it? would it be dangerous for HD integrity?

just installed it, then bells rang..... ur processor is not supported, looked rubbishw when the app loaded up. all distored, defiantely not meant for our wvga. Soooooo whats this qualcom overclocking software... i will explore google see what i can find.....

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.

I'm not really interested in overclocking, but I saw this thread and remembered I saw somewhere else some info on this subject.
Perhaps this is something to try:

This won't work - the Touch HD has a Qualcomm processor NOT an OMAP

Yes Please let us in on the action

well, i've saw this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507798&highlight=overclock , but you guys read carefully, its apeears to be no effect, through if it has, every processor u overclock have its life shortened...i've a blue angel, 400 mhz working at a 200~530, xscale processor can do this (change it's frequency accordinto to the necessary) but i wond the Qualcomm ones do the same (according to the post appears to not, but it's no cleary).
everyone may say...so all you said righ now is a load of crap... Thats not, i'm just sharing wat i've discovered until now, since i've gone to blackstone few day ago.

Blackstone is slow?? I'm about to get it in several days. Please enlight me when comparing blackstone with Hermes (currently using). Thanks

Is there any way how to get Wizard´s processor overclocked?

I think...if someone provide application to get OMAP working frequency around 300MHz, then it could really speed up whole MDA and still the battery will be good enough to provide power for 3-5hours of work :?: :roll:
It can resolve many speed issues and convince many people to use Wizard. So, any ideas, programs...?
(I´am not sure if that is possible for this type of processor...just asking a dumb question)

Immier from Immierisoft (XCPUScaler) is also looking into this. Hopefully, we'll see something from XCPUScaler that overclocks the OMAP850 soon. I'd sure like to see a performance boost on the PDA side of things...
I would like to see an app that would boost for x number of seconds when a program is executed. I don't need to drain the battery after the app is loaded. Perhaps also after a read command is issued, too.
Just my non-programmer thoughts.
Both PHM and XCPUScaler will allow you to push the processor based on laod, so you get more power when you need it, and a lower processor speed when the processor is idle.
Both need to be updated to support the OMAP850, however. We're waiting for that to happen...
Thanks for the info, Chris. I'm a bit new to these devices & thus don't know what all can do what. You just saved me some research!
Thank you all for your responses, I´m more happy now, when I know that PHM will fully support OMAP in next version (which will be available in half month)

Good G-2 Chris - thanks! Now, which will be first out I wonder???.....
the omap definitely can be overclocked. we are just wiaitng for immer or anton.
an overclocker app already exists for omap for plam devices (pah pah), which shows it works:
www.clievideo.com
omap information (just FYI):
http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...00&path=templatedata/cm/product/data/omap_850
yet nothing of nothing
Am waiting for over clocking too. i hade to write something so i am posted by email with any further development of the softwares listed.
all i can say is i hope theres no over heating and unstableness.
am sure we should have something soon for cristmas. if not then january sales.
Sorry all: just 'subscribing' to this thread too. Sorry
guys, whilst we are 'twiddling our thumbs' perhaps we could report any apps we particularly want to see improved. I have found all the games I install (even 3d games like Anthelion 2 from pdamill and star wars racer)and TCPMP and hacking tools seem to run fine. The only piece of software that frustrates me is SKYPE low_cpu. Although I hear that the skype team are working on it.
Therefore for me, this is more of a toy then a necessity!
Are there any news regarding overclocking the Wizard?

Continious Overclocking to 247 MHZ, Safe??

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

Sooo which program is better to use on the wing? OMAP or Battery status?

Who is overclocked?

just wondering how many of you vogue owners are overclocked?
please post:
1) what speed are you overclocked to?
2) what program you used/how you did it
3) how stable is your vogue? (not at all, stable, extremely stable, how many soft resets a day, etc)
4) would you recommend it for others
thanks guys!!!
No one is overclocked on a vogue. This subject is beat into the ground. The vogue can't be overclocked by the overclocking tool that everyone talks about because it is a different processor. Anyone who says they overclocked it ran a rom and had a placebo effect.

What the F are you talking about??? Its been posted many times that with the Sprint touch you can use the overclocker to go to 524 or 600 and many including myself have **timed how long applications take** to boot up and have seen a reduction in loading time aka faster performance.

Really!!! What program did you use?
First I've heard of overclocking a cdma touch. I'ld like to know the software too. My stripped down rom is already fast, overclocked would be insane.
I do not think it can be done. I just wanted him to say HTC performance which is the overclocking tool that works on devices with a different processor. Don't get your hopes up. If you really want to overclock your vogue take the battery out and shake the phone as hard as you can in an up and down motion. If you believe hard enought teh placebo effect can be just as effective as with HTC performance.
You can not use HTC Performance to overclock the vogue. It will allow you to select the options but it will not physically overclock it as it does not support the Qualcom MSM7xxx chipsets. As they are dual core and can not support overclocking. That utility only works with the ELF which is the GSM version.

CPU Throttling

Hi Gang!
I started my HTC journey with the original Touch which at the time was an unbelievable device.
I used to have a CPU throttling utility that would underclock the CPU to bare minimum when not in use and would overclock it under heavy usage.
The result was better performance and lower battery consumption.
Does such a software exist for our HD2? Or maybe it's already doing that throttling natively?
If this is available i would like to have this application as well. It would be nice for the small battery pack.
BTW, would they release a new battery with a higher volt/wattage?
Well, for the app if its out there come to us
Been thinking the same and this should have been included in the device in the first place. I believe Toshiba TG-01 has this. Would help improving the quite disapointing battery lifetime. Lousy HTC...

Idk if Toshiba has it, but still i would go for the HTC HD2 because this device is magnificent. It has it all and you can do with it all. If I didn't got a girlfriend I would do the other stuff with it to hahaa
Well fortunately I got one so don't be afraid for some weird news haha..
Well, I'm not here to discuss HD2 shortcomings, although there are always things to improve with *any* things.
Anyways...
I have looked at CPU throttling utilities for the Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and it appears indeed that the Toshiba TG01 has such utility. It's not clear at this point if it's an OS-level utility and it seems that it needs to be manually set.
I'm new at xda so I'm not sure whether somebody could port that app for our HD2 and automate the throttling...?
I guess if we're able to develop a HSPL for the HD2 then this is doable as well... provided that there is enough interest in it.
Thoughts?
Have you tried nueDynamicClock?

I'm not sure it supports Snapdragon...?
And I'm actually more interested in underclocking/undervolting that overclocking, 1 GHz is plenty fast for me so far

Yea, I guess it might not support 1GHz... But it is intended for only underclocking, not overclocking....
Idk, it'd be interesting to try.

[Q] The NAND version.

Good morning.
I am new to the world of the HTC and I have a question.
When that version will be available for NAND?
What is the best version of Android?
I am impatient. Thank you
Sorry for my language, I'm french.

my mistacke...by overclocking each HW component works much more stable and cooler. I hear temperature is 10 c lower when you overclock hd2
i see your point but there are hundreds of people are using the oc'ed kernel in shubcrafts build yet ive seen VERY few complaints
p.s.
Everyone! i have suceeded in making teh androids run on teh nands the link is -***MOD EDIT- Link removed: Extremely obscene material.Immediate ban placed on this user account***
Problems ? i have E8400 Oc to 4.0 ghz for every day. its 100 % stable with custom cooling .
Thats does not change the fact he is runing much more hotter and more IMPORTANT his life span is reduced very much.
hd2 cpu OC'ed that much with no cooling at all can cause great deal of hw problems in long therm. be sure in that.
11cal cal i know oure problem,it ia because we are waiting for a new shui8 android build......we need some sleep lol...btw,i do not want a nand version,i want a nas version with network share so i can run android remotely haha..

let me also say that overclock is optional. there are optimizations (code is optimized for armv7-a architecture, and other optimizations), but overclock is not enabled by default. w/ my kernel mhz range is 245-998.
Also CPU is downvolted so that means minor battery usage and higher cpu life due to minor voltage.
So why are you saying something that's not true?
@JJbdoggg
@michyprima you are talking about builds ( which only have OC option enabled ) and im talking about alrady Oc'ed devices with such builds
most builds do not have it enabled by default. atleast none that Ive tested. The kernal gives the ability to do it but it isnt set till setcpu is used.
My co-worker has been running his droid fulltime overclocked and has had no problems. I highly doubt any overclocking of phones is that extreme.
If the life span of your desktop cpu is reduced then you are either one applying to much voltage or two using not enough cooling.
Heres more info just to clarify.
http://www.overclockers.com/overclockings-impact-on-cpu-life/
i see i will have to explain some facts about overcloking so everybody understand, so we stop talking nonsense.
Each CPU have its own lifetime , some of earlyer Intel sockets had its lifetime of about 100 000 work hours.
Each time you give CPU more voltage, more than he is supposed to have, he is producing more temperature which offcourse lower his lifetime by certain amount of work hours compared to planed lifetime.
You all talk some nonsense, how some of your friends uses OC HW or phones few weeks or months. if you had time to read my post precisely, you could noticed i said in long therm.
Back again to OC..using custom cooling will only make cpu stable, will not restart or overhear due to over -voltage.
and there is many more factors that is making slighty different situation in hd2 cpu compared to pc...
Negative side is that there is no cooling..only positive side is that hd2 cpu is most of time working on 200-400 mhz depending on the thing you are doing on your phone at the time.
but be sure when you use his full potential, like in multimedia (gaming, playing video ...) in that OC condition, in long therm you are risking to cause HW problems on your phone because of over voltage -missing any kind of cooling that OC 'ed cpu.
my last msg about this.
Cheers
I guess he didnt read my exact post detailing the negative effects and how to determine them... I guess its nonsense even though its factual.
