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.
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.
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.
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!!!

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
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.
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 ). 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)
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!
Still no ideas?
Overclock TC
Kick the subject:
Anyone found a tool to overclock the TC or any suggestions how to write an overclock application?
"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!!!"
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
what do you guys think of this device i am thinking that it might be my next pda/phone
bump i just bought a broken one on ebay just so i could get the feel for it.
anybody?
Intel XScale PXA270 @ 416 MHz
Does not seem to be very fast/new
No HTC??
It looks like an I-mate device....
I like the design. plus it is a semi rugged device.
Hear me out.
It looks nice enough but im a owner of a x1 which i think looks better, but this is not my point.
I look at the specs of my x1:
288mb ram (ram on gpu - but never proven)
512mb rom
480 - 800 wvga 3.0" screen
3.2mp camera
wm 6.1
qualcomm msm 7200a cpu (528mhz arm 11 core + 256mhz arm 9 core)
1500mah battery
+ all the standard stuff
now the tp2 specs
288mb ram
512mb rom
480 - 800 wvga 3.6" screen
3.2mp camera
wm 6.1 (with free upgrade to 6.5)
qualcomm msm 7201a cpu (528mhz arm 11 core. not sure if it has second core???)
1500mah battey
--------------------------------------------------
To me the specs are almost the same and by the time the tp2 gets release it would be about 9 months after the x1. Dont u think the specs should have been a lot better?
Well although they may look the same on paper, the Diamond2 (essentially the same as the Pro2 software, processor and GPU wise), scored extremely high on core player's benchmarks, especially compared to the XPERIA. Go here to read more. And in addition, I think HTC made leaps and bounds with tweaking its newer devices and TF3D (probably the same stuff the fine folks at XDA have been doing for years) to make them much faster, despite having almost the same hardware.
Plus, the tilting screen is a huge plus for me. The Kaiser, with its beautiful tilting screen, is admittedly my first Windows Mobile device, so now I kind of expect a tilting display (I'm spoiled now). I think HTC may be including real, fast, uncrippled GPU drivers this time, so the devices will be faster like they are (NOT CONFIRMED, just my own suspicion). And I believe the processor has a second core, simply because I'm pretty sure all of the Qualcomm MSM7xxx processors do. So IMHO I think it's a little better than the X1 because of its speed and its bigger screen, although I've never owned an XPERIA so I don't know for sure.

They could have, at the very least used a 5MP camera, but then... I think they'd reason out that it's not the main reason you're buying HTC.
it better have drivers or i am seriously thinking my next phone will be a toshiba with a 1ghz snapdragon cpu.
I just hate that the touch pro 2 does not have a dpad or softkeys.
x1 has bad benchmarks because it has really bad drivers. as far as touchflo goes thats software that and device can have. (as the new touchflo in the tp2 has been cooked into a rom and cab form for the x1 and touch hd).
i cant see how they can release a product 9 months after and just twick the hardware a bit and the ask for the £500.
im waiting for a phone with a bit jump in specs
The TP2 is better, but not by much at all, so I am either going to go with the Toshiba TG01, SE Idou, or Omnia HD.
Well
At least is the best option to upgrade from Universal
Is not the best for sure but it´s something imprivement
Otherwise wait to december and you´ll see the new 2010 models!

Exactly like me. The biggest thing I hate in the TP2 is the old and slow CPU. The 1 GHz Snapragon is SO much faster. I've tested it in the TG01 myself and found it EXCELLENT - see my MWC articles if interested.
Come on, HTC, it's 2009 - the TG01 was already in working order in February (again, I've tested it myself at MWC), why couldn't you put the same Snapdragon in your phones?!
tegra chip + android = perfect touch pro 2

I totally agree!
To answer the thread initiators question - DEFINITELY NOT!
Snapdragon got it all sewn up for me. (Toshiba's TG01 K01 Anybody?)
agree, I'm looking forward to a powerful device with Snapdragon! and it looks like toshiba will have it out many months a head of the ever sooo slow htc.
Device with Snapdragon is powerful, but without d-pad and other buttons is unuseful. Fast CPU is not enough. I have Touch HD and this device is nice, but very uncomfortable and hard to control :-(...
I'm actually dumping my X1 because I hate the keyboard, but I'll probably get a Fuze before the Touch Pro 2 comes out to hold me.
Is there much of difference beside clock speed. from the msm7200 in the touch pro 2 and the xscale running at 800mhz in the omnia II in terms of performance? ANy help would be appreciated.
If you ask me it (should) make quite a difference. The msm7200 is quite notorious for it's quite allright clockspeed but slow performance.
I used to have a Diamond (with 528 mhz) and then got a Omnia (Marvell 624 mhz) which was already quite a difference. I guess the 800 mhz will make even more of a difference.
Do note that there is a big difference in resolution between the Diamond and the Omnia, so that will also give some speed increase. The Omnia II has a Samsung 800 mhz chip (as far as I know) and I don't know what kind of performance that will give.
Both cpu's are a ARMv6 (afaik), so in that perspective you could say the 800 mhz is faster than the 528 mhz.
See this:
Samsung chip: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a6410&c=samsung_s3c6410
Qualcomm chip: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7200a&c=qualcomm_msm7200a
My old diamond was much slower than my current ipaq 211. The ipaq has a 624mhz marvell and is much faster and more responsive than the diamond. It can also play videos back much better. 800mhz would just increase the performance gap.
The Omnia II is Arm11 which is slightly faster than the iphone 3G(both get blown out of the water by the 3Gs), and should support OpenGL ES 2.0.
Here's Samsungs Data sheet on it: http://www.samsung.com/global/syste.../2008/5/30/785500s3c6410_datasheet_200804.pdf
The msm7200, i BELIEVE(dont quote me), would be faster than the SC36410, if it had proper drivers.. however, thats not the case.
numbers are an indicator and nothing more. They give you a clue but clues can be very misleading. If they were usefull, why would you need benchmarking?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth
(yeah i know wiki is sometimes full of BS but it certainly backs up what I learned in Uni and during my assembler cracking/virus writing days)
The ONLY way to compare CPU's is to run the same application and then run the SAME task in that application. Once you have done so ALL you can say is "For performing task X in application Y, processor ZXY running operating system ABC is faster on the BLAHBLAH platform" and nothing more. It does not mean its faster at everything or indeed, you cannot say its faster than ANYTHING else until you have tested it.
At the end of the day, the processor is affected by drivers, processor design and the operating system and its installaition.
and Software.. if theres no apps that incorporates acceleration, then its wasted.
what about qualcomm 1G snapdragon cpu?
how fast is that compares to current 528mzh? haha
i'm waiting for Acer S200 with 1G cpu.

please re-read and if you still don't understand, i'll try and explain again.
clearly, marvell is better, even the mhz is lesser than what qualcomm offers!
having better decoders also like video playback & multitasking when video is playing!
waiting for devices with marvell cpu pxa168 series.
they use qualcomm chip becoz its cheaper & provide hsdpa to network & GPS module while the rest does not come with it. so individual chip must be used. but its better like GPSone VS SiRF III
Hello, my aunt showed us this mobile phone she got and basically it was supposed to be sent to us but I'm wondering if it's good for what it has and for what it is. I've never heard of this brand and it's pretty suspicious since it's very cheap for a MTK6589T CPU and a PowerVR SGX 544 GPU. It has a Quad Core, 1.2GHz, Cortex-A7 processor also.
Link here: http://www.yangbuy.com/team.php?id=5317
So, what do you think?
Thank you.
I just saw this phone at chinavasion today and yes from looking at the specs, this seems to be an excellent phone. The processor is not the latest and greatest anymore, yet it is Quad Core and the screen is quite big. It has the usual 1 GB RAM, what is important and 960x540 with 5.3 inch, that is also acceptable.
What is very excellent about the phone is it's price and it seems as the 2600 mAh battery in that phone would indeed be 2600 mAh because of the size (physical).
I would say for the money, it is a great phone .
Battery for c1 M.Ren
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement battery for this phone?
