Buying thunderbolt tomorrow. Need advice.

Hey, I love htc phones but I've been reading everywhere and am nor quite sure if thos will stack up to the bionic.
I jear rumors the thunderbolt will be overcloclable to 1.8 ghz. Is this true? Will that be close if not better than dual core? And does the thundeebolt have good 3d graphic support?
If I am posting this, I'm probably pooping.

Thunderbolt may end up being overclocked, probably not to 1.8GHz, yes it has good 3D support, as it has the second generation snapdragon, and if you want to get technical no it is not as good as dual core.

little bit off topic , but i see u are from revere ma? i was born there and grew up in lynn

Lol, yeah overclock that little processor to 2x it's standard capacity, see what that does to your battery life and the lifetime of the internals.
There's a reason OEM's don't overclock everything.

Depending on how underclocked the processor is to begin with it may not hurt. Overclocked my d1 to 1.25 more than double with zero issues, mininal effect on battery and is still running perfectly fine a year and a half later.

Just like how there are people out there who smoke two packs a day until they're 85, there's always exceptions. Doesn't make smoking any healthier.

Its a little different. Not sure if you know how it actually works but as long as your kernel os undervolted and overclocked, and with proper safety precautions such as set cpu temperature parameters, it is perfectly safe and you will not fry anything.

*is from Revere MA!* lol
Anyone know how N64oid runs on this? Better than the Droid X? I've been once again addicted to playing Super Mario 64 lol

mytouch 4g overclocked to 1.8

Theres no reason to OC a phone like this, unless you're just trying to get a high quadrant score.. I had a MT4G and I never needed to OC it. It ran lightning quick with CM7...

I'm not sure about some games like Golden Eye. I'll test it over the weekend, but if I can play Super Mario 64 without any lag on an Evo, which has only a first gen snapdragon, I'm sure it will run fine on TB

Sunspider results.. are fantastic.

Using the stock browser.. i'm getting about 4600ish results..
Using Dolphin Mini i've hit a crazy 39XX score... this is the fastest stock Android phone i've ever seen/researched. The only other phone that gets CLOSE to these scores is the MyTouch 4G.
My previous Fascinate on a custom kernel at 1ghz set to performance mode (forcing to 1ghz fulltime) is only scoring 59XX..
i bet an overclocked Hummingbird at 1.3ghz still can't touch the stock Thunderbolt.
This is amazing!
Thoughts?

I hate to burst your bubble but I just ran a 4123ms Sunspider on my Nexus S running cm7 on 1Ghz stock kernel. I'm considering switching to Verizon though for the Thunderbolt. I'm particularly interested in how the screen is, and mainly the black levels.
Edit: just ran at 1.4Ghz for comparison purposes at got a 3154. The Glacier overclocks very well so the Thunderbolt should be able to put up some good numbers as well.

Using the stock browser on the Nexus S I got a 4011 and at 1.3ghz, 3213.

your ditching Nexus S aswell i see?
i just sold miens yesterday for 340% waiting to be added on to my sisters plan on verizon i will definetly miss 3 things on the Nexus S the SAMOLED screen of course and the Voo Doo Sound/TV APPs all 3 of those feautres where amazing

i ditched tmobile today and the nexus S. I couldnt be happier to b honest with you

LG G2x Overclocked to 1.5 Ghz

I saw this video and wanted to show everyone. I do not have information about this or the user. I simply saw the video that is all. For people looking for more info sorry but you will have to do you own research as I don't have it. Best thing is to ask him on Youtube I guess.
As for me I really hope we can get a stable 1.2 Overclock to match the Sensation and SGSII at least to numbers wise. (Yes I know their customs processors may run better.) We is the video....

Check the Dev forum. Theres at least two kernels out now that can do 1.4-1.5 Ghz pretty stable.

So badass that we're waiting for a 1.7 oc like the Viewsonic Gtab because we know it won't fry

Thats my video yo... Pretty good benchmarks huh...

mmhmm i use faux's kernal, 1.5ghz, gotten as high as 4900 quadrant scores, phone doesnt get much warmer than my old oc'd touch pro, really stable, phone ran fine all day

g2x already outperforms the 1.7 viewsonic oc with the 1.5

Your nenamark is a bit low, @ 1.5 should be getting 70+ fps

[Q] EPIC 4G overclocked Better then INFUSE?

So recently my friend brought the infuse 4g and he ran linpack and quadrent and compared it to my epic 4g and noticed epic 4g has alot higher scores. why is this since this phone comes stock with 1.2ghz

what kernel is he running on the epic. I can say this phone smokes the sgs in linpack. not sure what he is talking about there. and did he have 2.3.3 on the epic? that would explain quadrant, if you setup stagefright on 2.3 a certain way on this chip it gets like 1000 more points in quadrant based on its media encoding/decoding alone.
this is a dumb question, is his infuse stock? and as far as linpack could he be comparing it to an evo not an epic?
next time you make a statement like this come armed with numbers. what is his epic quadrant score, what is his infuse score, and what are the linpack scores respectively? I can tell you I have only seen evidence so far that the infuse overclocks better than other hummingbird phones.

Quadrant sucks.

well his infuse just a scores above the stock epic 4g and the epic has a score of 2800 running on android 2.2 and can be overclocked to run stable on 1.4ghz to get a score of 3200 and higher on quadrant. and my friend is hesident to root his phone just because he just purchesed it like 3 days ago.

theres a million factors put in to scoring higher benchmarks. if you use a couple of these custom roms, youll notice huge improvements by whats included in those roms. an overclock kernel will get you faster speeds. switching to different governors will up the response in cpu scaling. data2sd will add almost another 1000 points. not to mention changes changes in hardware between the devices and what apps you have running. theres alot of ways to improve the performance of the device and alot of ways to cheat at quadrant. its a good pissing competition yard stick but dont rely on it to tell the full story.

Lol. Benchmarks.

benchmarks are good tools if used properly but I'm not sure if the typical xda user can really read a benchmark and learn from it.
those numbers on the epic sound really high. 2800 even on 2.2.1 is hard to acieve on a hummingbird. but his lagfix is probably not ext4. ext2 and nilfs2 file systems will inflate quadrant to no end. atleast with voodoo we have a common yardstick to other android phones even if quadrant stills seems to give the sgs with voodoo a huge advantage over other devices. there are other posible factors but quadrant can be manipulated as it is over sensitive to a few things. I can assure you it is not a hardware issue and the epic has no real advantage. it is only benchmark manipulation and kernel tweeking.
if I told you my captivate gets a 2600 would you think it was faster than the infuse? well mine got that and more. I got about a 2600 on 2.1 @1200mhz with overclocked gpu and oneclick lagfix. ill assure you my infuse is faster with a 1800 on the same benchmark.
infact I have seen more than 3000 on the cappy, that was with gb.
I have seen nexus s and sgs phones with gb and ext2 or nilfs2 file systems get 35-3700 matching the sgs2 and smoking all other dual core phones. does this mean they are actually comparable to thw sgs2? or 50% faster than a dualcore phone?

it helps to also have the advanced version of quadrant to see where the device is falling or exceeding. even still, you can inflate those numbers.

[Q] senseless rom for sensation how to get 3300 in quardrent

it says we can get 3300 but i only get about 2100 what else do i need to do

Which version are you running? 1.1 or 1.2?
Because if your running 1.1 this comes with the Unity V5 kernel and you should be able to reach this easier.
If your running 1.2 this comes with the stock kernel and you'll need to download Unity V5 to help get those scores.
You can download the Unity V5 kernel from http://www.multiupload.com/EP1YPXAICW

Agreed. A lot of people have been criticizing it, but people still use it.

Yup. Just to give context, my Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) got something abysmal like ~900 on the app, but the phone sure as hell wasn't a slouch.

Flipside of that was with the right kernel, galaxy s phones could score up to 3100 but they were horrible for any use other than obtaining high scores.
