HD2 clock speed lowered? Hmmm... - HD2 General

I remember a while ago, I downloaded an app from somewhere, called "Nuetools NueOverclockTest" Actually, it WAS designed for the HD Blackstone...moving on
The app did NOT work on the HD, as it crashed. However, it works on the HD2 (I presume)
My question is : Does it ACTUALLY LOWER THE CLOCK SPEED?
The HD2 is clocked at 1024 mhz, this program "overclocks" the HD to 768 mh from 528 mhz.....now, if this lowers the HD2 clock speed to 768 mhz...that could save a bit more battery life! Could someone perhaps check into this and see if the clock speed changes? Thanks a lot

simple benchmark for yourself
download TCPMP or Coreplayer
get a video file
run tcpmp benchmark on it with and without clock change

Hmmm tbh not much difference Just a little teeny weeny bit slower...
Thanks for the idea bro I've posted 2 screenshots, before and after! And ofc the program xD

Perhaps I need someone more skilled to try this out for me...I AM a noob after all xD

clcok speed
from what i've read elsewhere in the forums our processor isn't always operating at 1ghz, when the system isnt being taxed the prossessor idles at a lower speed, then when called on kicks in to full speed. therefore saving battery life already, but i don't claim to be an expert, just regurgitating what i read elsewhere!

Read this topic:
How to include 1GHz-Hack in stock-ROM - xda-developers
There is an utility showing CPU clock on the last pages.

Nue Overclock test was designed for the CDMA Touch Pro 1 to overclock to 800Mhz. It wouldn't work to underclock a different device. The processors are too different. TP1's Processor is an MSM 7XXX series and the HD2's Snapdragon is an MSM 8XXX series.

Overclocking

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.
can someone enlight me on the definition of the "stacked cpu"???
have been surfing the net but didn't found anything...
Thanking the one in advance

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. :?

Has anyone tried PocketHackMaster 4.0 beta?
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.

Overclock past 52MHz?

Is there anyway to overclock this phone past the 528 MHz clock speed it currently has? None of the overclocking widgets or apps do it. I know it is possible tho, because when I had my HTC Touch Pro, it had the same processor and it was very easy to clock it to 624 MHz. Made it a very nice experience. Anyone has a take on this?
**Edit** Meant 528 in the title not 52

Yeah. 52 would be blazing fast
Seriously though, I believe the processor can only go 528Mhz. The Dream has the same processor but that was underclocked to 384Mhz or something like that. Honestly, even if you could clock it higher than 528, you probably wouldnt notice much speed increase on the Hero. On the Dream, yes, because of the memory situation but with the Hero, not so much.

Overclock HTC HD

Hi,
What the best software for overclock my HD?
regards
this is a dumb idea. srsly, dont do it!
i bought HD today and its a little slow
I think overclock to 600Mhz its ok.
I read about this CPU and can reach to 768Mhz
If you want to run software or sense 2.5 faster. What I did is changed the pagepool size to 32MB
Most of the cooked rom is using 20MB pagepool. I have a few problem with it.

Agreed. The cons definitely outweigh the pros. Just not worth it.
Just use a few tweak programs like advanced config or HD Tweak to change basic parameters safely.
overclock == more heat the device could take damage
+ higher power usage so your batt time will be a lot shorter

A 528 Mhz processor cannot reach 768mhz, technically. I mean anything is possible but it would not be stable at all and would probably screw up your processor. Htc has it set as high as it will go while being stable and safe to use.
Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656572
My THD works stable at 709MHz Above this frequency, Android doesn't boot.

OverClocking Aria

Would love to see some ROM's with SetCPU or Overclocking options. I heard the Droid could be overclocked. Wonder if Aria has a "Stable happy medium" that is around 800-1000mhz?
I don't think that It could be clocked at 1Ghz, more like 700Mhz. That just seems more likely.

Never saw a stock kernel you could overclock. You could download setcpu and play with it. Maybe once we get some custom kernels it will work.
Not sure where the problem is with speed though - this thing is pretty zippy as it is.
Yea, it's pretty fast to me. I think the 600Mhz processor must be a different design than the old 528Mhz processor, because it seems to be much faster. I'm pretty satisfied as it is. Is there a certain app that is running too slow on your phone?
Yeah I agree that the processor Is great as is. I havent noticed any lag at all. even 3d games are running without lag for the most part. If it were overclocked the only difference I think that could be needed is performance with the gpu. Set cpu cant overclock the stock kernel but if we do get a custom kernel im sure we'd be able to overclock it.

You can never have too much performance. I would love to be able to overclock.
Gpu wise we're fine as we have the same one as the Incredible and Evo, but our cpu is a bit weak. The Incredible and Evo, while they may not be any faster through the menus, are able to do things like loading web pages faster than us because of their faster cpu.

What makes you say the CPU is weak? I'm don't buy for a second that the CPU is a gating web page refresh speeds.
The CPU is not the same architecture as the old 528 mhz HTCs. The Aria does not need a 1 ghz Snapdragon to perform very well given the graphics requirement of the screen which has far less resolution to manage and requires far less from the both CPU and GPU, and given that this is a small smartphone, and not a game deck. You can't underestimate the difference in power required to drive a 480x800 compared to a 320x480 display. It's enormous for devices like these.
I am sure in time this device will be overclocked by some just because it can be, but the vast majority of us aren't worried about playing Warcraft on the Aria. People who want to do that aren't looking at the Aria is the first place, with it's 3.2" screen, which fits nicely wherever a portable phone might, but isn't going to make anyone go "oh wow, is that a flatscreen tv in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"
If you want to overclock yours, you are perfectly free to do so - once we get another kernel choice that supports it.
I think when you consider running Flash on your phone, there is NO such thing as too much performance.
When you consider full screen flash at 320x480 vs 480x800, the Aria can hold it's own against the larger Snapdragons. If the Aria has trouble with full screen flash, it's not because of the Aria, and it's not because the processor is weak.

Using the kernel eljefe27 links and overclockwidget I was able to overclock to 806mhz and get a higher quadrant score. I'm running ATTN1's fr006 rom(froyo+sense.) All apps stable as far as I can tell and network functional. Under advanced settings the app can define its own possible overclock values for the CPU. I'm wondering if its missing higher clocks, as there is the option to set them manually. Im just scared to, lol.
Because I can't post outside links, the kernel can be found hya:

Untrue. It may be unstable for you but not everyone. I'm currently running at 825mhz, was running at 844mhz.
Your mileage may vary.
I heard overclocking 33% over stock is a good benchmark for performance.

[Q] SETCPU HD2 overclock

hi guyz, i have a little question for you
does someone have an hd2 with android witch is overclocked to over 1ghz? 1.5ghz too? and, is it a warried operation or cpu has a low overhead in that situation?
3rd and last question, if i put my hd2 in 1.5ghz mode, and force a bench test, may i broke my hd2 with going upper than cpu Tjunction or there's a system protection witch shuts down all the hardware else the cpu is too close to Tjunction? (like normally pc cpu)
i don't know if snapdragon has system protection, so, i don't want to try to fuse my hd2 (it's my main phone)
and, for users who whant to know, yep, i'm using wp7 because it's smoother than android, but, if i try to use android with that overlock, may it can be smooth like wp7, maybe
and, please, don't say that android is smooth, because it has some micro freeze in the continuity of the animation, and i hate that
thank you for your answers

You can set your clock to max, but make a profile to downclock your cpu speed to ~500 MHZ when it heats up.

nice, what's the tjunction of snapdragon? is 50°C too hight?
not sure, to be honest, I don't overclock my device. too scared to do so :/
but when I did overclock it I set the temperature to 41-42 Celsius.

different builds use different kernels, and each support different max CPU speeds. If the kernel supports overclocking, the developer usually mentions than in the first post. Note that Some kernels/builds do not support any kind of overclocking, so the max CPU speed would be ~988 MHz
