Athena CPU Speed

[oleg_ku]

Hi everyone,

I was not able to adjust CPU speed in System menu, because the is no such. I installed BatteryStatus and it detected 312MHz. Is there any way to check/adjust system performance?

Ah yes, you may be right. I installed Pocket Hack Master 4.00 and I noticed when I unplugged the power, the CPU speed dropped down to CPU 100Mhz, Bus 104, Mem 52, LCD 52
and when I plugged in the power adaptor the speed became
CPU: 624Mhz, Bus 208Mhz, Mem 104Mhz, LCD 104Mhz

It seems that Athena has already Scaling feature bulit-in. Awesome! but with PHM you can go into advance and then tick checkbox: Disable Device Built-In Scaling. And You would be running Athena always at full speed non-stop!! woohoo!!

And watch the battery last 2 minutes :( Boohoo.

There was a reason it autoscales! But yes, it kinda sucks that they say its great because of this 620mghz cpu, then run it at 100mghz half the time.

This is very interesting information. I see the wait icon quite often and wondered if the device was running at full speed! I think I'll get PHM!

Assuming you're talking about PHM Registry Editor:
Which registry key is this?

Well, Thanks a lot. I installed it and apprently it helps. Cause I use Navi software and always connect the device to a charger - so there is no worry about standby time. :)

Again - Thanks!!!

It keeps locking up my machine when I load it.

Worked long enough to test one speed setting (the normal high one), then every time I start it up it locks up.

Glad it's a trial. Seems to lock up on the nag screen, so the developers will get an email saying "Um. This locks up when it nags me to buy it, so I won't".

You'll need to go into settings, then advanced and check off the box to disable built-in auto scaling. Two auto scalers working at the same time would definately give you grief.

do you know how to disable the tray icon that PHM puts? it's wasting one row of my screen's space....

Ah! Thank you for the information. :)

Sorry, I really don't know, but it does allow you to change CPU speed on fly (after you've set your favorite speeds), which makes a pretty useful tray icon. Though I hate to waste screen real estate, too! If I find out a way, I'll post it here.

here is the solution, just install this and it will be fine

Ahhhh, very useful. Thanks.
