overclocked, now phone freeze

[inspron]

How do you tell if OMAPCLOCK is working correctly on WM6.1?

Any problem if I set it above 280MHZ? It seems to be stable but I have no way of verifying it.

[NRGZ28]

I wouldnt venture past 272 or so... I did once and it locked up the Dash. Had to hard reset.

[superminipoo]

why not just test it urself, overclock it to 280+ and see if it freezes. if it does, u'll know its working. hehe.

dont overclock to 280.

[inspron]

How do I know its working? In the past (MDA), OMAPCLOCK gives me the current speed, this version does not.

The OMAPClock set is made by me,and it have a background app to keep the Clock you set.
this app Call OMAPClock.exe to set the clock of OMAP CPU...

And if your Excalibur is made in Taiwan, this means your Excalibur have good quality,and it's cpu can over clock more than 276.
if your Excalibur is made in China,means your Excalibur only can Overclock less than 252

My Excalibur is buy from HongKong,and it's made in Taiwan,very good quality
And mine can over clock to 288MHz

[chris300zx]

Is there any way to tell by serial number or something where its manufactured?

Thanks!

stupid question, guess I have a chinese one.

Yea i was going to say "made/manufactured in _______" on the botton right corner if you have the phone turned around with the battery pulled out. But apparently you figured it out

Funny I was just having a conversation this morning about how its changed over the years, from the worst to the best in electronics from Taiwan. ...while Chineses imports, from textiles to tech, are poorer than they have ever been before. The opposite of 20 years ago. I have a 1 year old pair of "real" Doc Martens, made in China, that are falling apart, while my 14 year old pair of the same model, made in U.K., are still serviceable.:mad:

Back on topic--
Glad to know why my OC'ing results have been so inconsistent from Dash to Dash.

[Technology]

247 MHz is enough or in that range, even for Skype, why kill the processor!

[Mucuna]

Yep... Mine's made in Taiwan, tried 288MHz and got a black screen.
Removed the battery, tuned it on, the screen froze in the home screen.
Removed the battery again, madly reboots.

So, hard reseted. Damn. Now I must config my internet and sync and install all again...

Leave it just under 288MHz.

[trmacdonal]

Mine is made in Taiwan and doesn't lockup til 312.

[grim1234]

Mine is from China and I can hit 320 without a lockup... Didn't bother to venture past that.


***Edit, as it turns out, I just locked up on 288mhz... Maybe it's a ROM thing, because I was on the TMo WM6 when I broke my record...
Damnit, its done for.. Any way to fix this without a hard reset?

[superminipoo]

hard reset sux, i hope i never have to do that.

[Se7eN43]

i did somethin really stupid. i overclocked too much and now every restart freezes the phone before i can get to it to change it. what can i do?

edit:
nevermind, i got the 2 softkey power button 2 secs trick to work. heres a link for anyone else who comes across a similar problem. refer to post #4

I wonder if there is a way to make OMAPclock write and check a log and if it freezes like 3x in a row, before loading windows fully, it steps down...

[elconfa]

hello, I would like to overclock htc 620 only when tomtom start. does is it possible to start a "program" that raise up the clock an then start tomtom?
thanks

[phatman81]

interesting... me and a buddy have the t-mo shadow and we both have omap. i can do 272 no prob (will try higher later) yet he freezes @ 272.(can only sustain under that) Both are made in Taiwan..

Just tried to go higher on mine, 288 was good for the short time i tried it. 300 was good for 5 secs... then froze

[jdoggraz]

doesn't overclocking kill the battery though?

[NRGZ28]

Yes.. it does drain it faster. I wouldnt go as far as saying it will kill it though. It'll still last a day on the highest speed (272 for me). :)

[showers1969]

I maxed mine at 280 and froze, it works, believe me

[jdoggraz]

Oh nice, thats good. What is a good speed/battery power to set the phone to?

Very good question.
I believe Kavana will answer too, but I don't see this feature as impossible - OMAPClock will run constantly, but when recognize some proccess (set by user) the program will be increase the speed - smart, because when your Dash is in your pocket or you just set alarm or write some sms there is no reason to clock it.

What do you think, kavana?

[jdoggraz]

I do not think that is possible to do, just inject it in when a specific program is running...

[phatman81]

It is possible, but i believe you need mem maid.. (what i believe people were using back when the Wizard came out. May want to dig up some old posts on howardforums...) As for the overclock, i have mine set to 272 or 288 (i forget) when the screen backlight is active/bright, normal clock speed when backlight is active/dim and underclocked to lik 160-ish (maybe lower) when the screen is off. (have to check actual numbers, since i never actually interface with OMAP) So it only overclocks when its in use and underclocks to save battery when not in use. I use the Tornado Power control from the surreal networks site http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com (but i have it on stock WM 6.0 on a shadow. used it on the dash too, so i dont see why it wouldnt work on 6.1)

How long have you had it overclocked at 272-288? I just overclocked mine to 228mHz to stay on the safe side. I actually didn't wanna o/c it at all! But I figured, hey why not.

[jdoggraz]

yah but does it drain your battery?

[Mikey]

yes...anything that moves faster needs more energy. Energy needs power. Power comes from the battery ;)

[jdoggraz]

yah, but what is the best setting for speed/battery

[Mikey]

Default? lol

[Rip Syntaxx]

yah, but what is the best setting for speed/battery

JDoggraz...I'm currently using 240mHz because I'm a scaredy-cat. I can definitely tell the difference from the default 200mHz (which I think wasn't quite 200...) and my battery life is moderate. It doesn't drain THAT much faster than the default mHz, but the speed/performance increase is worth it.

[Profezza]

Stock battery.
240 clock.
Bluetooth On.
Talk time: 3:32 minutes
Remaining battery: 76%

C'mon, do any of you guys really go that long without hoocking back into the usb and syncing up a new cab, adding media, or getting a new ROM?:confused:

[corfou]

hello, I would like to overclock htc 620 only when tomtom start. does is it possible to start a "program" that raise up the clock an then start tomtom?

Easy !
1/ Install MortScript
2/ Create a script using notepad and save it as .mscr
Sample

# Launch overclock à XXX ( the desired speed )
run \Windows\OmapClock.exe, -clock XXX
# Pause to start
sleep 1000
# Launch TomTom
run \Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe
# End of script

as I'm using TomTom 6, I also need a fake cursor, so my first lines are

# Launch fake cursor
run \Windows\FakeCursor.exe
# Pause to Start
sleep 500

To have a shortcut with the TomTom icon
Create one on the device, transfer it on your pc
Open notepad and drag it in
Copy and paste the line below and save it

-104#"\Program Files\MortScript\TomTom.mscr"?\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe,-101

! Don't forget the " - " !

Et voila

Longer than i can remember. I have had evey one of my WM device overclocked, usually from day 1. As for battery, i gave up caring about that a long time ago. I charge when needed. Carry a retractable usb cable with me and im always around a computer to charge it up. Otherwise, i throw it on a car charger. On average, charge 1x a day. if i get heavy use, then maybe a midday charge. People seem to bug out over battery life... and i do agree it should last longer, but if you want battery life, dont get a Windows based phone. Simple as that... (or get an extended battery or carry 2. Its the price to pay to have hottest "toys")

True enough. That's why I had to shell out for a 1550mAh extended batt. It was well worth the price.

[Brzum]

Mine is from China and I can hit 320 without a lockup... Didn't bother to venture past that.


***Edit, as it turns out, I just locked up on 288mhz... Maybe it's a ROM thing, because I was on the TMo WM6 when I broke my record...
Damnit, its done for.. Any way to fix this without a hard reset?

i over clocked my dash to 288 mhz from china and it froze. i removed the sim and restarted without the sim. I was able to disable the omapclock and was able go through apps without flashing. After, I put the sim back in and everything was back to normal in v22 ricky
then i set my new setting at 264mhz

[lukybandit]

I have successfully over clocked my phone to 276 MHZ and it lasts me a day with regular phone usage (texting/phone use and ocassional media use). I've tried higher and it froze so the safest setting I've seen so far is 276 Mhz. Try it if you may but it the risk is entirely yours.

Where was your phone manufactured? China or Taiwan? I heard that it makes a difference regarding how fast you can set your overclock settings. Taiwanese Dashes/Excaliburs can apparently withstand being o/c'd at 288mhz, but Chinese cannot. They tend to freeze and lock up when set that high.

[Rip Syntaxx]

P.S. Mine is Chinese. So I'm mozying along at 240... Yee haw.

[lukybandit]

Just checked - Made in Taiwan ! :D

Oh yea, That sucks - but yeah, I tried 280 + and it froze but I've been running it fine on 276 Mhz from a couple of months now and its awesome !

[jhunkab]

I tried 288 Mhz - max setting
it went into rebooting circles.
removed battery to try recovering it without SIM
noticed it was made in Taiwan :)
Don't jump blindly on Made in Taiwan label. There might be other factors in play, besides country of make.
I am using Rickeyv23 with Opera ROM.

Any other way to salvage it.. SIM removal also does not seem to work :(

[T-Will]

Mine's made in Taiwan, but I had a few spontaneous soft resets when I went past 240. So I run it at 228, that adds just the right amount of boost needed to make it feel snappy.

[daleksic]

My 1st Dash i overclocked to 252 (I think) and it locked up on me after only a few hours. It was made in China. After resetting it back to stock I still kept getting error messages, it kept crashing, basically I probably damaged the CPU.

My current Dash is running fine at 240 but I'm afraid going faster or even to keep it at that speed as I live here in florida I'm kinda worried about the heat. I wonder if the high temps here in florida are an influence to my CPU's performance and thats why my old one crashed and never really got back to normal even at 201MHz.

I love it at 240MHz. My brother in law has a Moto Q9 World running at 400 and that thing is amazing. It just looks too much like a brick and its uncomfortable on the ear. But I'm currious the see the new dash. I think I'll definetly upgrade if and when available.

Oh well the 240 should not be to bad, maybe step it a little lower then the 240 and you should see some changes in it.

How do you hard reset mine is locking up after over clocking it

[Clydeistheshit]

How do you hard reset mine is locking up after over clocking it

hold both your soft keys for a couple seconds and then while still holding them power on

[jdoggraz]

If that doesnt work then try to reboot the phone with the sim card being taken out and see if that helps.

[Randeezle]

Whoa!!! I was in the market for an Iphone, now that I've upgraded this phone to 6.1 I'm gonna stick with the Dash for a hot minute.

[gixxum]

hold down the 2 soft keys and the power button. hold power until the phone turns on. when it turns on, let go of the power button, but remain holding the soft keys down. when it asks you if you wanna hard reset hit yes.

[beartard]

wonders never cease :rolleyes:

[gixxum]

i make miracles happen at least once a day...sometimes twice.

[CacoPelao]

if I hard reset, what I'll be losing from my phone??

[johnambler41577]

if I hard reset, what I'll be losing from my phone??

I believe it's everything on the phone memory (not the sd card).

[CacoPelao]

that means it'll stay with the WM as if it was just flashed, or it will erase the WM as well??

[johnambler41577]

that means it'll stay with the WM as if it was just flashed, or it will erase the WM as well??

WM will stay the same. Anything else you may have installed that was not included on the WM rom will be erased from what I understand.

[CacoPelao]

thanks man! I'll be reading a little bit more to see if there's any risk involved

[jdoggraz]

I learned from overclockiong my phone to lol... do not overclock to much unless you want to reflash the phone lol.

[rickwyatt]

poeple dont overclock over 240 MHz as with my s620 if i go above 240 the phone starts to play up

[lukybandit]

funny you say that, I've had mine overclocked to 276 Mhz (but the moment I overclock it to 288 Mhz, my phone locks up) and it's been like that since I got the phone, atleast most of the time and ever since I upgraded to 6.1, I've had it set to 276 MHz allowing me to do whatever I want without any lockups or low processing speed.

Ricky - Apparently, the version you have matters, Mine's Made in Taiwan while others that can't overclock more than 240 MHz are the Made in China model. So, please be careful before you overclock your phone.

If it's Made in Taiwan, you can go up to 276 Mhz and if it's Made in China then, 240 Mhz i think is the max you can go.

[skaroger867]

do you really notice a difference at that speed (240 or higher)?

cause wont that kill your battery life a lot quicker.

[CacoPelao]

mine is overclocked at 186, it moves really well, and the battery life is great.

[Clydeistheshit]

mine is overclocked at 186, it moves really well, and the battery life is great.

186 is what the phone comes standard as.

[jdoggraz]

Lol I guess some people are just happy with the normal speed that the phone comes with lol.

[johnambler41577]

I usually keep mine at the stock speed myself (186mHz); that is unless I want to run PocketSNES 1.53 - then I overclock it to 220 - 240.

[jdoggraz]

oh ok nice so what battery are you running on your phone and what is the life on that battery?

[D-ville Solja]

so wat does over clocking do again?

[beartard]

It increases the processor's clock speed over the manufacturer's setting. It makes the processor run faster. Makes things like emulators work better for games.

[jdoggraz]

It increases the processor's clock speed over the manufacturer's setting. It makes the processor run faster. Makes things like emulators work better for games.

Yah but then again you also kill the processor a lot faster that way, so before you overclock just keep in mind if you phone still has warranty or not :)

[micool_21]

i use the kavana 6.1 rom and keep my dash at a nice 216, but when i use it for my vids and skyfire i crank it to 252 just for that added umph! sometimes i forget to set it back to 216, but no worries cause the 1550 mAh battery is more than enough. Took it to 288 but it froze so thats a no no even though its a Taiwan made cell. owells, just wanted to share my setup. Last thing, i really enjoy reading everyones feedback on the various subjects, so cool beans to everyone.

[mistert1]

i tried my phone at 288 and it got stuck freezing every time i reboot.

here is a solution to fix...instead of hard resetting.

reboot the phone without your sim.
the phone will power up with a sim error....do not hit OK the moment you hit ok omapclock will be restarted at288 and your phone will lock.

instead...connect your usb cable and your phone will connect to your computer using activesync.

once connected go to your windows/startup folder and DELETE OMAPCLOCKKEEP (i think thats what its called spelling may be off)

NOW hit OK on your phone to get out of the sim error screen and VOILA!

your phone is now back to normal without having to hard reset!!!

hope this helps someone!

[lukybandit]

I've been running at 276 MHZ for a very long time now and I have no heat up problems nor does my phone lock up. My phone is Made in Taiwan, maybe that's why I have had no problems but I do have to admit that once past 276 i.e. 288 Mhz, phone does lock up, unfortunately.

Don't push it more than 276 Mhz on a Taiwanese - make and not more than 252 Mhz on a Chinese Make.

Enjoy Overclocking!

[Rip Syntaxx]

My Dash was made in China and it locked up on me while o/c at 252. I had used 228 and 240 for a good while without any hiccups. When I o/c to 252, I noticed the increase in speed--but I would've been royally screwed the next day. I woke up around 3:00am and noticed that my phone still displayed 8:21pm from the day before! My alarm was set for a very important event the next day! I would've been up the creek had I not realized this. From then on, it's been 240 for Syntaxx.

Dude you don't have to reset the phone ,it happens the same to me what i did is remove the sim card (that don't let the phone charge startup programs) it will sent you the message theres no sim card ...... ok so you connect your phone via activesync don't close the (theres no sim) message because if you close it it will charge the startupprograms and obviusly it will charge the omap so you go to \windows\Startup and delete the omap entry and thats it disconnect from activesync close the no sim message and voila.
Original Idea :D.

I did the same thing!
Here is how I recovered.
On Phone

Turn power off, remove battery
Remove SIM
Power the unit back on
Error screen will say "no SIM"
Dont do anything on the phone
Plug in uSB

On PC

Start>My Computer>Mobile Device
Select System Folder (My Windows Mobile-Based Device)
Windows>Startup
Delete "OMAPClockKeep"


Now reboot the device

You can do this many times until the OMAPClock setting gives you the fastest operation

Anything higher and it hangs when loading the homescreen.Guy would you please explain, why would you want to over clock a TI OMAP850 processor? What is the over clocking MYTH that you have been told. Do you really know what you are doing to your phone's processor. Why give your dash/Excalibur a heart attack.................!:D

[123SIT]

I know what I'm doing to my processor and the responsiveness that is achieved is worth it in my opinion. I have a 2400mah extended battery so killing the battery is not a problem. I also never stated that I run my phone all the time at the aforementioned speed and insurance is a great thing just in case a meltdown occurs. :p MYTH, I don't understand what you mean. You think overclocking does nothing in respect to accelerating the calculations performed on the phone, thereby accelerating the programs on the phone. I rather it die of a heartattack than lethargy, hehe

i tried to overclock my phone (made in china) to 276, and it did continuous soft resets until i did what was said on post #63.

i wish i had known that when i overclocked it to 288 the first time.

but anyway, does anybody know why i couldn't run my phone at even 276?

everytime it rebooted, the second i typed in my password at startup, it did another soft reset

odd.

any ideas?

[buggers999]

i tried my phone at 288 and it got stuck freezing every time i reboot.

here is a solution to fix...instead of hard resetting.

reboot the phone without your sim.
the phone will power up with a sim error....do not hit OK the moment you hit ok omapclock will be restarted at288 and your phone will lock.

instead...connect your usb cable and your phone will connect to your computer using activesync.

once connected go to your windows/startup folder and DELETE OMAPCLOCKKEEP (i think thats what its called spelling may be off)

NOW hit OK on your phone to get out of the sim error screen and VOILA!

your phone is now back to normal without having to hard reset!!!

hope this helps someone!

I joined this forum just to thank you, personally. I actually felt warm-hearted gladness that people like you still roam this magnificent Earth. May you be blessed with all of the good things your heart desires - you AND your loved ones. Thanks for posting such a helpful piece of information.

Much love, man.

so let me get this straight, the overclocking only runs when the app is running in the background? (kinda like the light dimmer) so if i stop the app with the task manager the cpu automaticly returns to normal speed right?

[HTCP4000PPC]

Yeah do not overclock over 276 Mhz in the 6.1 Kavana RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE ROM it will do 288 but will lock up eventually or right away, 264 Mhz is the best top speed for this s621, i find if u underclock to 133 Mhz this phone on Kavana 6.1 Runs real good and batt life is nice.

Bump for the answer, I'd really like to know about this. If somebody knows please tell me.

[phatman81]

if you use it with the power manager app. forget the exact name, but they can be found together usually and will install at the same time if you get that cab.

YES! Good thinking! Helped me big time just now. I was JUST about to hard reset. Worked perfectly, thank you. I was thinking about something like this too since the overclock is software based and the phone wont lockup/freeze till u get past the SIM error screen. Very good thinking! Thanks agian.:D

[Ryanmo5]

There is a very simple solution to all the problems above, don't overclock past 240.

i dont even use this phone anymore, but i keep coming back for you knuckleheads...this shit is priceless.




pass the popcorn stylez (but not to mikey.)

Ah popcorn what next, pancakes :D

Where is mikey???? Still trying to turn a G1 into a functional phone JK

[gixxum]

wait. the g1 is a phone too?



i have just been using it as a clock. this opens up many more options.

[phatmanxxl]

When I bought the dash I was choosing between the Dash and the G1. Do you think I made the right choice? I read reviews on both, but I got the dash so I could run pocketnester on it.

My options were the Sidekick or a Dash... I think I made the right choice. :D

Fa sho you did, unless you got mad cash to spend on ringtones, pointless apps, and frustrating games.

[gixxum]

i went from sidekick 1, II and III to the dash to the touch pro to the g1.

the dash is cool..but as i have said before, it cant really be developed any further than it is now. hardware limits this. so the dash is cool until you want really modern features like the 3g, gps etc.. the dash will never have these capabilities. you can plug in a gps module and stuff, but thats not really what i want. as far as the g1....right now, no, its not the best phone ive ever used or even close to. but the idea behind android and how young it is made me stick with it. i love all the shit google does and with this phone, you can see daily development improvements which i think says a lot for the future of this phone/os. and the possibilities are endless with it being open source.

i guess my thought is that in a few months or maybe more, who knows, this thing is going to really hit its mark and do some really cool shit yet not be bound to crazy licensing and all that bs.

just my thoughts after using the g1 and the dash.

[EternalSoil]

hey guys, i think this is my first post. I guess that's what lurking does to ya!

I also just checked the post date on this and i think i may be reviving an older one but oh well.

I switched over to an older version of kavana in December off of the youtube video.

I can't remember what made me come on here but i check out stuff about everyday now.

I have Kavana 080408 rickywatt's V24 Vanilla. Should probably grab the extras just in case i like them.

Anyways, back to the point. I had my (Chinese) dash overclocked at 264 for over a week or so and the only think i noticed was the severe increase in battery life.

I kinda got addicted to that speed so clocking it back a little kinda makes me sad. I think i'm gonna pick up a new battery, probably a 2200mAh.

I would like to see pictures of people with the different sized batterys in them (cover on) to decide which to get. The one Herel (http://www.pdapreferred.com/htc-s620-pda-and-pocket-pc-extended-battery-2200-mah-cs-dc700xl-.html) Looks kinda stupid to me just from what i can see in the picture. I prefer a little less drastic change from where the battery is to the back. (i.e. more tapered)

Any pics would be great!

Thanks!

Well said gix, i agree 100%. Dash was an amazing phone but I took it as far as it could go, time to move on to bigger and better things! How did you like the touch pro?

[ikando2on2]

my phone is made in taiwan in it doesnt go over 255 every time i set it higher it freezes does any one know what i could do because i see that taiwan phone could go higher but this is the second one

i would like to buy you some comma's and maybe a few periods.

you can keep buying phones until you get one that is lucky enough to clock higher. What are you doing with the old phones? i'll buy them cheap if you need to sell them... :cool:

If that does not work you will need to do a hard reset. Hold both soft-keys down and press power button for 3 sec. and follow instructions on the black screen.

[EternalSoil]

My phone was made in China and It will run, at least for now it is, just fine at 288MHz.

Took me a bit to find the program to make it go higher, but lucky for me it doesnt keep those valuses cause it lasted about 5 seconds at 300MHz.

Figured I would Throw it out there to show not all of the ones made in china are bad. I have had it clocked to 252MHz for weeks now with no problems.

Not that it matters but here's a screenshot of the clock set that gets kept. It has booted up just fone 2 times at 288MHz
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/EternalSoil/Captured-1.jpg
I'll probably bring it back down because my phone is my alarm in the morning and i cant have it not wake me up.

Might try to keep it at 288 for a day or so when I can sleep in.

[Bigmannyjr]

264 is as high as I can go. I'm going to stop reading post on overclocking. I rather set it and forget it.

[newbietruly]

The OMAPClock set is made by me,and it have a background app to keep the Clock you set.
this app Call OMAPClock.exe to set the clock of OMAP CPU...

And if your Excalibur is made in Taiwan, this means your Excalibur have good quality,and it's cpu can over clock more than 276.
if your Excalibur is made in China,means your Excalibur only can Overclock less than 252

I wish I didn't know about this... :(

Made in China

At least now I know not to mess too much with it :p

[s1l3nt]

i think the perfect mhz is at 240 for china :D most ppl will agree

[roloracer]

I've been running mine at 228mhz, and hapy with the speed and battery life balance that it has.:)
