Over Clock

[DXL007]

Is there a way to over clock the TC? I have had WM devices before and was able to over clock it with OMAP. Went to N95-3 for a wile (S60) and am now back to WM. Didn't know if this method still worked or if there was a new method.

Thanks

Anyone have an idea?

AFAIK there is no overclocking tool for the Qualcomm. Maybe that's because it's a dual core design. But I'm still hoping that I'm wrong. :D

TI Omap is also Dualcore. It's just because nobody has written a program to overclock so far.

I agree. It's just a new processor with different architecture and developers haven't made any overclocking tool for that yet. But... it's a matter of time.

[Straputsky]

If you are right, then it should really be only a matter of time. Due to the fact that HTC uses the Qualcomm for all their new products chances are high. Overclocking to 500MHz could resolve most performance issues. Maybe we should ask HTC for delivering an overclocking tool. :D

It's almost sure that in the near future we will have the tools to overclock easily our devices, while this processor (32bit Qualcomm MSM7200), is capable to run at much higher speed. For example future devices such as HTC Omni and Toshiba Portege G910 & G920 will run with this processor at 528MHz!!! ;)

Man that would be great!

"is capable to run at much higher speed. For example future devices such as HTC Omni and Toshiba Portege G910 & G920 will run with this processor at 528MHz!!! "

there seem to be a common misconception that the same family of cpus running on various Mhz's are under and overclocks that is sadly not the case not on pc's and not on pda's

[DXL007]

Well I hope that even if this is not the 528MHz prosessor in the TC that it can still be over clocked.... I've run my Blue Angel, Hermes, and StarTrek all over clocked.

[Rudegar]

yeah most overclock at least a bit
though some cpu's never got oc programs i believe
like samsungs hope for your sake that this cpu will get a tool

personaly i'd go with the longer batt life though
and a good driver will prob do alot more for general speed

Don't know why there's so little rumor about this - but there is actually an app that could possibly let us overclock the TC:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11573&page=2

It's called HTC Performance and it has already been included in some HTC Kaiser ROMs. I fit works with the Kaiser, why not with the TC?
I will test this! I just wonder why "nobody" knows about this app.

Found some more info on the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347546&highlight=htc+performance

Looks like it doesn't work... Or does it? I'm still about to test.

What the f---?! I can't believe this. I set it to 520MHz and PointUI became soo slow. Then I started the camera app and it ran perfectly smooth. PointUI also runs good now after closing th camera app. Don't know what to think about this but: Try it!

@Rudegar
Hm, I would like to have both (more or less :D). More power when I need it and less power when battery life is much more important. Maybe a little more speed would provide the performance to play my files encoded in H264 smoothly. But I don't want to watch my files every day so there is no need to overclock my device all the time.

@maati
The people in that forum are talking about an HTC Apache. AFAIK the Apache has an Intel XScale processor. So I would be really surprised if it works with the TC or Kaiser. Maybe there are another tweaks within this package?
Either way, there is at least one company which tries to find a solution: http://www.wizcode.com/devblog/comments/pocket_hack_master_v5_feature_requests/
(Unfortunately they are trying it for just a while and it seems that they still haven't made real efforts)

[DXL007]

Guess we'll wait and see.

What are you talking about????

You must have forgotten that 32bit Intel XScale PXA270 processor runs in most devices (such as Gigabyte i350, ASUS P535 and many many other) at 520MHz BUT in XDA Atom life at 624MHZ!!! And we are talking for exactly the same processor!!!

One more example for you because you talked about Samsung processors... 32bit Samsung SC32442 runs in HTC P3600 and ETEN X600 at 400MHz but in ETEN X650, ETEN X800, MWg Zinc II and HTC P3600i runs at 500MHz.

So... who has made the misconception?

Have a nice day! ;)

[DXL007]

Still no ideas?

Kick the subject:
Anyone found a tool to overclock the TC or any suggestions how to write an overclock application?

no it's not the same processor at all sure it's the same processor family but
you are dead wrong if you believe that all p4's are the same or all athlons no matter
the mhz

nanometer mean alot and verious silicon dices provide various cabebilites speedwise

2 devices with the same cpu one running 520Mhz and one running 300 dont mean that they took 1 cpu and over or underclocked it

just like the first p4 of the northwind series was 1.6Ghz and the last one was 3.06Ghz this was not! the same chip they just changed the mhz of

apart from just that then just cpu speed is not everything flash storage speed and sd interface speed or wifi or usb speed and lack of gpu driver in tc and kaisers case
are much bigger bottlenecks then cpu speed in current devices
