View Full Version : Noisy Underclock and RAMdisk

Two random things:

1. Does anyone else hear the noise generated by the cell phone whenever it's screen is on when it's underclocked?

2. Does anyone know if any of the RAMdisks I've seen around here are compatible with the Wing? (I keep seeing "I had to hard reset after this...") I wondered what happened if I put the Volatile cache there.

the noise is generated by the frequency of the processor. This can be solved by overclocking. Its something like the "buzz frequency" or something.

and as to the ramdisks.........what? I don't understand. Sounds like a great idea though.

Yea, a Buzzing. It's kinda funny how it comes from the frequency of the CPU... how does it generate sound waves?

I want to take a few MB's and set it up as a RAMdisk so I can run this:

1. Open a new folder “Volatile” on the SD card
2. Change the following key, using the registry editor:
from \HKLM\System\Filesys TempPath = \Application Data\Volatile
to \HKLM\System\Filesys TempPath = \Storage Card\Volatile
3. Turn off the pocket pc with the power button for about 30 sec (not soft reset/hard reset).
4. Turn it on again.

But instead of the Storage Card, use RAM. It should be much faster. I wonder if that's really useful at all, anyways... lol

oh i get it. I think its a great idea, but the wing/herald has memory problems that wouldn't let you do that with any reliability, no? I've really no need to try it.

I think the processor clock speed is associated with another frequency that is in the range of hearing.

What reliability problem? I have plenty of free RAM. The reason I want it is because my phone has filesys.exe taking all the CPU, killing my battery and somewhat killing my performance. It started when I moved that file and has not gone away since, even if I put it back to normal.

That's freaky and cool at the same time.

oh you moved filesys.exe? I've been tempted, but i would like to know what it does.

That said, try the ramdisk. report back with results?
