Overclocking HTC Touch

don't know if this has been asked, but....
I know there is a overclocking util (BatteryStatus) for the older 200Mhz Touch.
But I got the CDMA HTC Touch (MP6900 ??) with the 400Mhz speed cpu, and the "BateryStatus" util does not work on it... actually it craped out the phone many times tonight... had to do many hard resets!! Crap !!
So.... is there a overclocking util for this version (runing windows mobile pro 6) any one know ???
thanks
Dweeb

Can't be done. A search would have told you that.

Why would you want to overclock it anyway? The battery usage would be increased and you would probably shorten the lifespan of the device....these things aint cheap you know
400 MHz in a pocket device like these is easily fast enough!

dont know if i agree with that... windows mobile isn't the best operating system because it's sloppy. so we need faster pocketpc's in all honesty.
even 400mhz isn't fast enough.
i'm also curious if its possible to squeeze just a little extra out of it (safely).
i love how my Touch works and how it's setup with windows mobile 6 and now this Manila 2D interface... but it's just always been slow. Even straight out of the box. I recently lost my phone and got a new one... Opened up the brand new one and it's just as slow as my other one.
i made registry tweaks too to increase ram usage and all those good things yo u can do there. no good in my opinion too slow for 2008... 2009 now.
great hardware. poor software. want to compensate for that by making the good hardware even better...

Hi dude, read your post and i wonder if you search the XDA for new 6.5roms esp "optimised" ? I heard XDA has most of the roms for "all" wm phone also uni roms. use the search engine found at the top under " search ". I have downloaded a "Touch" but forgot where they are located cos im a downloader, not a note writer

So, what version of the Touch do you have?

HTC Touch Pro 2 with old Processor?!

Hello,
can anyone explain me, why does the HTC Touch Pro 2 get a older Processor like HTC Touch Pro 1? HTC Touch Pro get a Qualcomm MSM7201A with 65nm (less Battery) and the HTC Touch Pro 2 have a Qualcomm MSM7200A with 90 nm (need more Batterypower), this Processor is over 2 Years old!!! Is there a misstake on the Website of the specification on HTC?
Thanks for your answer.

Well, I understand your annoyance with an old processor, and although I'm definitely getting the TP2 if I can, I would certainly prefer a faster clock speed, maybe 628 mHz or higher. What I don't understand is where you are getting the chip measurements. Are you refering to this spec's page?
Dave

Hi,
yes, your refering spec's website is right. PDADB has auso the same spec. I don't know, why i've got to pay for a new mobilephone with a old processor. :-( I hope this is a misstake on the website.

You don't... You can wait a month or two till the Touch Pro 3 comes out, which will probably have the new Snapdragon 1ghz processor like the Toshiba G01. Seems like htc is releasing new devices every few months or so now, so wait a little while and what you want will be available soon.

I do hope you are wrong, because if you are not I will keep waiting for the next phone to come out and never upgrade my phone until year 2050...

For me it is the same too. I won't even take a glance at any phone with only 624MHz on it. I need something faster. I have an HTC Universal (524MHz), and I think that was slow after loading all my applications. The same goes with my HTC Advantage X7510 (624MHz). An open application runs fine, but you will notice how slow a QUALCOMM processor is upon opening the application.
I really think the combination of HTC and Qualcomm processors are not a good match. I promised myself, I won't buy another HTC device if it has a QUALCOMM processor in it.

... the new Snapdragon 1ghz processor like the Toshiba G01...

wow! this phone looks beautiful. any1 knows the price already?

I dont think they will do any change in next 8-12 months after the release on TP2 which clearly targeted for bussiness user (Email,calls, battery live) Anyhow I do think the next Touch HD will be in the level of Toshiba G01 and targeted mainly on multimedia (games,movies etc.)

It has to be something else thats causing the problem, not just the HTC/Qualcomm combination.
The HTC T-mobile G1 is very responsive and fast and uses the same qualcomm cpu, also the Xperia X1 is using it and I've read it outperforms the Diamond/Touch Pro in multimedia department. HTC developed the X1 aswell.
I'm confused...

When you say HTC T-Mobile G1, are you referring to ANDROID OS? That alone is a big difference. Unfortunately, I like Windows Mobile better at the moment for an all around OS with a wide variety of free and 3rd party applications.
With regards to X-Peria, it's made by SONY which specializes on multimedia, so that is no surprise at that department. But looking at Xperia videos, it is still slow, especially at opening and starting applications. I bet it will even be slower upon performing multi-task applications running in the background.
I read at Brighthand that the new HTC THOTH will also have a Qualcomm processor but it would be a 1GHz processor. So I guess, we will see by next year how HTC will use these powerful processors, or maybe they will cripple it in some way. They always find something to screw-up. So I guess we will have to wait.

I really thought HTC made the xperia for SONY.
Anyway my point was that the xperia is using the same qualcomm cpu like the diamond/pro for example and the xperia outperforms them both in multimedia performance. And if I'm wrong about the xperia made by HTC then ok you are right.

No you are right, maybe I should had made it clear, the XPeria is made by HTC, but Sony definitely has something to do with it's multimedia capabilities. Sony would not just let HTC make something and not have any control over it.

Hey, the Touch Pro uses a cdma msm7501a cpu which was made last year.
The Touch Pro 2 uses a msm7600 cdma cpu from 2007.
The TP uses a newer cpu than the atp2.

The Sony Xperia is based on the same cpu as the Touch Pro. Look it up in wikipedia.

[Ques] Best WinMo phone in $300-$350 range

Hey guys,
I'm currently having HTC Gene and running it on a custom WM 6.5 with Manila rom all picked up from here.... Learned a lot from here esp how to cook add packages to roms etc etc..... even using Android on my Gene... In short realised the power of "Windows Mobile".
Gene is just a OMAP850 200Mhz processor with 128 ROM and 64 RAM.... so kinda low on specs... coz when it comes to running apps like opera 10 and manila running in background..... so i'll be buying a new phone...
So i'm askin u all experts with all the experience which one should I buy?? I would have gone for HTC HD or PRO2 but they are out of my budget.. ie $300-$350 (Rs. 14,000 - 15,500). I know I can't expect a speedster there but which one will give me best value for money ???
And my Indians friends here.... May b u might know better abouy our market conditions.....
Thanks in adv....
Luv u guys...

Hello
According to me right now in the market in this range the best value for money is the htc’s touch which is around 14 to 15K in Bombay but its same specifications like your Gene except doubled RAM/ROM.
If I were you I would go for HTC touch 3G, but still for this you need to extend your funds by 3 or 4thsd.
cheers!

i basicly want a higher processor & memory... so which is the cheapest available....???

Perhaps would be easier to know how much you want to spend on a device?
And after that recommendations can come.
have a look on marketplace to have an idea of the prices.
Good luck,

Take a look at Ebay for different htc devices and prices!

for the price u can't really go wrong with Diamond or Touch Pro, I've seen both on ebay for less than $200. I say save ur money for a month or two and pick up TouchPro2 or Diamond2. U get the support of this site and get a bunch of Cool ROMS. Its best to save ur money up to get something more contemporary.

If you wanna go cheap, get a HTC Touch Viva. Pretty good for it's price:

HTC HD 3..!!!

Well lot of rumors goin on the net, anyone have any idea if if HD 3 is for real..???
Well there are loads of sites which give you the detaisl when googled, this is 1 of them
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2010/01/26/htc-hd3-specs-leaked.html

It's a fake.
The announced SnapDragon is the dual core version if I'm not wrong.
It's just a dream concept

But many websites are confirming it..!!!

Yes, the new HD3 will be complete magic with WP7 :
-no copy and paste, YAY !
-no multitasking, YAY !
-no microSD card, YAY !
Everybody can use it, even 90 yeard old grandmas !

I am afraid he is right.
New WP7 reminds me of crappy iPhone interface.
Instead of getting more features and opportunities they're copying Apple style.
Hopefully with WP7.3 we will get copy and paste and with 7.4 maybe multiasking.
I will go for Android when I will change my HD2.

The first item on the list says "1.5 GB Qualcomm Snapdragon.."
ZOMG!!11!! A PHONE PROCESSOR WITH A GIG AND A HALF OF COMPUTING POWER
..what? Does that make sense to you? No. Use your head next time, man

phone processors are at 1 ghz and so far maximum processing power is 1.3 ghz overclocked so its not out of the realm of possibility

I think the point was it says GB not ghz
Edit: Also if it was an official "document" or whatever it would say "Windows Phone Series 7" or whatever the official name is, not "Windows Mobile 7"

Those specs are obviously fake...1200x800 is not a supported resolution.

I think it's a fake ... but I hope so much that is true!
If the HD3 will keep the promises .. for me it will be the first PDA without the physical keyboard!
PS: Just this HD3 can make me leave my Touch Pro 2!

Seems like a rumor for now...but it could show up in the Fall.

I'm sure there will be a successor to the HD2 running Windows Phone 7 Series, but I think they will choose a different name than HD3 considering it's a completely new OS. And it will definitely have a screen res of 800x480, no higher.

It's possible that the forthcoming HTC Obsession will actually be a merger between the HD and Diamond product lines - in other words that there won't be a direct successor to the HD2 at all.
And yes, the "HD3 specs" posted earlier are a very obvious fake. We now know that WP7S doesn't support resolutions higher than 800x480; we also know that no WP7S device will be able to use a removable memory card. I really wish people would stop creating threads about these "specs" - there must have been nearly a dozen different threads about them, now. They don't get any less fake for being posted multiple times.

Well have been using HD2 for a while & was just curious, so just started this thread..!!!
Hope we get WM7 or Android sooner on HD2..!!!

800x4800 ? Wow, that's one hell of a resolution

Since when is processor speed measured in GB? And wow they gone really far for 1 generation. from DVD qualitity to 1080p.
Also everybody is talking about HD3. Where is TP3? I want to see some new HTC models with HW KB.
Also i wish that HTC would make some tegra models instead of qualcomm. Maybe then they will provide better drivers.

[Q] help deciding a phone

Okay hello fellas, straight shot here's my query
I've short listed Xperia e and Nokia 520.
hardly difference of 2-3 dollars between them
I need a phone for my mother.
her requirements. screen and camera ( that's all)
I'm confused, really wanna try w8 but I've heard that even to move files in between folder you need a pc.is that true..?
please advice.

I think u shud go for 520 its very smooth ur mother will feel happy
On d otherside xe is android means sometime lags.........
Sent from my ST23i using xda premium

Jep. Nokia 520 is my recommendation. But if your mother is used to android, well then I should go for the E. The 520 just offers better hardware, and truth is that windows 8 is a very light OS. So 9 of the 10 times I'd recommend the 520. Only when you want to keep this budget, and your mother is used to Android, buy the E.
Hope I helped.
Have a nice day!

Don't think so deep.
Just go for Nokia Lumia 520 dude !
And if you want detailed reason just scroll down, here I give you !
- Better Performance
- Lag Free
- Qualcomm MSM8227 Snapdragon S4 1 GHz Dual Core Krait
- Adreno 305 GPU
- 512 MB RAM
- Windows 8 OS, which gives latest OS updates to all the Windows Phones quicker unlike Android in which some gets updated else get Babaji Ka thullu
- The Same Fluidity and Same Experience in High End Phones = Low End Phone i.e plus point of Windows 8 OS
- More and more apps are coming and some are already there for what android users cry the most i.e Temple Run, Instagram etc etc.
- Better Resolution 800x480 means more PPI 233 means Crystal Clear Display
- IPS LCD Display, 16M, 4 inch perfect for hands
- Better Camera with skype Support ( You can do skype with rear 5mp Cam ) , HD Recording
- A-GPS, "GLONASS", with Nokia Maps
- BT v3.0
- Built Quality
- Perfect for moms because they don't care much about OS they just need a phone to call and in Sony Xperia E sometimes phone will even lag in receiving calls because of heavy load of Android
- Value for money
- Nokia Ka Bharosa ( Trust of Nokia )
- You'll not regret like us ( Sony Xperie E owners ! )
Now go to shop and buy it NOW !
You're Welcome.

Buying the E would be a fatal mistake. I say that from experience. Go, young man, escape! Get the 520! We're trapped, you aren't. Get away while you can!

thanks to all for healthy responses
so I was initially biased for getting a lumia 520
.
only considered Xperia e because of android .
my mother has a little experience of android but I'm sure she will get used to Windows .
only worries are I've heard that in Windows ,you need a pc for little gimmicks ,that andro performs easily .
otherwise I'm a straight go for 520.
waiting for lumia 525 to release in first week of Jan ,as it will surely hit price of lumia 520.
thanks to all for reply .

About the pc part: well, if you're on a Mac(which I'm not!) file transferring is a pain in the ass with Windows phones. But if you're on a windows PC, no problem. And the part about the little gimmicks isn't that bad, I can tell you. I believe you only have to use a computer for things like transferring contacts etc. Not that big deal.
Wish you all the best!
