CPU overclock

[ady_uaic]

does exists a software specially for overclocking my P3300 CPU? I tried xscalar, or something like that, but it takes my device only on 196 mhz, starting from 133mhz (or this 133 is over my 200 mhz by default?)

Download BatterStatus Extended V. 1.04 Beta nightly build here (http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm). Every owner of P3300 has this installed. For more info... search this thread.

i've downloaded, and installed it. but my drain battery is very very very faster, in 5 minutes, drained 9%.

[ady_uaic]

so what can i do?

so what can i do?

Charging would be an excellent option !

not every.....i don't use it :D

[devdarshan]

not every.....i don't use it :D

Everytime I feel my Artemis needs an Overclocking - I give it a ROM straight up its slithery USB Hole !!!!

hee hee hee !

Look, just configure your ARTEMIS BatteryStatus,CpuScalar for 120, 201, 247 with this configuration your battery last for ever because when it doesnt need speed goes to the lowest speed, only if you are running aplication the overclock take action.
Hope it helps,

Thats cool, thanks!

As stated earlier in this thread...

I've found that overclocking, even with scaling, seriously affects battery performance.

I was until today running Vanilla 2.0, which was ok until I added batterystatus, with either fixed or scale doverclocking - both of which drained the battery like crazy.

If battery status is an isuse, use a lean, clean rom and don't load up loads of stuff you don't need - then the device will perform faster... I've just switched back to the Dopod WM6 release, and unclocked it runs everyhting I need absolutely fine.

To me, overclocking is like the salad bar in Pizza Hut.... I ain't going near it!

lol, thats good! Fair point, I'll keep an eye on the battery life.

Perhaps changing the max speed to the standard speed, but keep the low idle speed set will improve power consumption?

I think you're probably better off just not installing stuff you don't need, and where posisble install to your SD card, keeping RAM as free as possible - that will give you a cleaner machine and reduce the need to be tempted to consider trying to overclock... make sure that you have low standby and backlight off settings when on battery use, and keep your device on charge overnight so you always have a devcent level of charge in the morning. If you need to, buy a desktop charger from ebay for a few quid, and stick your phone on it when you get home...

Thanks for the advice. The CPU clocking is being done with Battery Status, which is part of the ROM, so If power consumption continues to be a problem I'll disable the over-clocking function from the Battery Status Options.
As for charging I'm fine, I have an in-car charger and a 40 minute commute every morning/evening ;)
Thanks again,
John

i've got a question about batterystatus, maybe some1 in this post knows the answer:

is there a way that batterystatus keeps the overclock setting while suspended? i would love to UNDERclock my cpu to 123mhz when suspended, so safe extra battery, but seems that everytime i suspend, BS sets it back to 201.

i tried the options, but i can't figure out if it's possible to over/under clock while suspended.

[hiitsme]

Have you tried the CPUScaler option? It's build in to version 1.04
For the original FAQ etc goto the BatteryStatus (http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_def_iM_cs.htm) website. Or read more in this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751) thread.

i haven't try it. i have artemis 2.2

Well, although I can't uninstall the battery bar I have disabled the over clocking! I sat yesterday and could almost watch the power drain in real time, even with the Max speed set to 201Mhz. I switched the function off and the battery is lasting a lot longer again.
Moral: Don't over-clock at all!

I've tried ALL the cooked ROMS here - I have a 'spare' device for testing...

I use my device for work emails, sat nav, personal mails, web browsing, music, and as my phone. I pair it up with a Sony Blootooth car stereo.

So... aside from a few games, what else do you need to do with your phone? I'd suggets that most of the stuff loaded onto some of the ROMS is completely superfluous and just clogs up the device - things like the touch cube are really tarty overheads. Over the past year, I have played with most stuff that's out there, free and paid, and have a pretty default set of standard stuff that I load onto a clean RM. I was using Vanilla 2.0, but that still ate battery, so when I read that the Dopod shipped WM6 ROm was fast and bare, I thought I'd give it a go, and I haven't looked back...

Here's what I have on it, all running from the Stoarage Card where possible:
CloseAll
Hibernate
Hbutton
TodayAgenda (enhanced Calendar on Today)
Sunnysoft Contacts (one fingered dialling in the car)
TotalCommander
TomTom 6
Coreplayer (gives far better bluetooth audio streaming, and plays videos)
iphone keypad (default one buttons too small in the car)
SamsungTime (big clock on Today, but doesn't have the weight of HTC)

With all of this, I get brilliant battery life and a more than adequate response time without any overclocking, and over 20mb useable ROM.

TangerineTractor,

Why have you choosen the Dopod WM6 rom?

After having that rom I switched to the official Europe WM6 rom. No big differences, but with Ms Office 2007 on board, now the Word and Excel files are fully compatible with my desktop PC. The only disadvantage was that I had to install AudioManager separatelly. (But, in fact, I rather use CorePlayer.) It's a stable and reasonable fast rom. Storage Memory is low but each prog is in Storage Card if applicable. And there is very low RAM leaking (after a day of usage it's still above 20 M -- and Spb Mobile Shell runs constantly!).

Have you tried the Europe ver.?

The Dopod WWE ROM from the Wiki link has Office Mobile on it, and to be honest, I hardly use that anyway... which do you mean by the Europe version - maybe I'll give it a blast..??

[ctibor]

... which do you mean by the Europe version - maybe I'll give it a blast..??

The exact ver. no. is inculed in my signature, see below.

This rom is downloadable from HTC Europe website ( http://member.htc.com/member/login.aspx ) if you are a member of 'HTC e-Club'. I just wrote 'Europe rom' because Dopod is for Asian customers of HTC. (But the same rom you are using now was also my first WM6 rom.)

cheers,
