[Q] sensation xe's processor and sensation's processor...?

the processor used in sensation is msm 8260 which is clocked at 1.2ghz nd that of sensation xe is also the same msm 8260 clocked at a little higher 1.5ghz...the spec sheet of msm8260 says that the recommended max clockspeed : 1.5ghz and min clockspeed : 1.2ghz....so it means that its just the same processor used but with different clockspeed right...but some fellows say that its a different soc used in sensation xe...they also say there was 2 versions made for the same msm8260...ofcourse 2 are made but they are only clocked differently....what do u guys say?? if they were the same soc's then the max clock that can be used in both should be same isnt it?? that is at present the sensation's max clock speed with kernels is 1.89ghz..so if the sensation xe's soc is also the same,it should also have the same max speed though it is clocked at 1.5ghz already...just explain this anyone please,......

same in both... my sensation is running 1.5GHz no problems

maybe msm8660 ?

Nope, msm8660 is used in the evo3d because it supports both gsm and cdma but there's no need for that here

[Q] Revolution HD 5.0.2 on 1.5 or 1.2 Ghz ?

Hello, first of many, many thanks to mike1986 for the highly successful HD 5.0.2
There are still a few small problems that are eliminated with security with the next update. One small thing surprises me, the processor will be raised to 1.5 Ghz. On my sensation is still displayed in the settings of 1.2 Ghz. Can anyone say why?
Thanks to all repliers

I believe the kernel became smarter at detecting your phone's true ID. It KNOWS you didnt buy the XE version, somehow. Im sure people will figure out how to trick it again.

I believe the default is 1.2 and without a custom kernel yet it can't be overclocked to 1.5. It may actually be a non-xe source which could explain why it's set at 1.2. I believe there's no beats audio without a mod so that makes sense to me. I'm not positive though.

This is what the 1.5 ghz XE mod is: someone (I can't remember the dev, probably baadnewz) downloaded the HTC XE 2.3.4 source, modified an if statement (essentially reads like this: if XE identifier in the SoC == true, 1.5 ghz else 1.2 ghz) so that it would be 1.5 regardless of that if statement, and compiled the kernel.
With the ics roms, we don't have ics HTC kernel source, so secant go and change that if statement, so if you have a regular sensation and flash an XE rom, you'll get 1.2 ghz, and if youhave an XE and flash an XE rom, Hull get 1.5 ghz (and 1.2 if yummy flash a regular sensation rom).
No one at the point can change this.

Overclock to more than 1.5ghz??

Is it possible to overclock the CPU to more than 1.5ghz? Most ROMs only go to 1.5.
I'm asking because the sensation xl has the same CPU but people are overclocking that to over 1.5 safely.

Virtuous Quattro ICS rom (and its kernel) goes to 1.9 safely

Is there a kernel that is compatible with sense 3.0 or 3.5 ROM?

i'm not sure, i dont use a sense rom

Yes. Endymion/Hyperion kernels allow up to 1.5Ghz.
Unity9 allows up to 2ghz. Its mot recommended however, as the kernel is old, and 2ghz isnt safe

Yeah but is there a sense kernel that allows higher than 1.5?

Yes.. I just said Unity9...
It's not recommended. It's old and has bugs with the front camera.
In the first place, you shouldn't OC higher than 1.5ghz. The chip isn't designed to run a frequencies higher than 1.5ghz for ling periods of time. In the long run, you will damage to motherboard, fry the chip etc. Battery life will also be significantly shorter too.
If your intentions were to do that, i don't think you should have got this phone in the first place, and you should have just stuck with the Sensation.

the sensation xl is shipped at 1.5GHz. There's no need to exceed 1.2GHz in my opinion, at least not yet.

The Sensation has a dual core 8260 Snapdragon CPU, our has 8255 (single core) so i think that 1.5 Ghz for the DS is more than enough and safe, also reading somewhere that the 8255 is designed to run at 1.4 Ghz as an optimal freq and that the mobile manufacturers are free to undercloock/overclock for specific needs
I personally use the 8255 at 1.1 Ghz...never had lags

Hey,
I limited all my kernels, Hyperion, Endymion and Reaper kernels to around 1.5GHz, as it is way more than enough. I did this for some reasons:
- As it has been discussed all over these forums, devices handle OC/UV differently, no matter if the cpu is the same. This has to do with sheer luck with what part you get from the factory, your phone is only guaranteed to work at up to 1GHz. It may seem stable at 1.5 but reboot once a week, some phones may not boot at 1.2, and some phones can chug along happily at 2GHz.
- Every newbie that lands on these forums will instantly set the frequency as high as they can. Then they will get a freeze now and then. Then they pull the battery. Then they kill the phone. THEN they check the forums and read that they should not have pulled the battery.
- With my current roms, where the kernels are tested, there is no need for overclocking. Things run very very smooth at stock values. But I believe in "power to the user", that's why I even give the option to OC. The last time I had to overclock my phone due to lag/choppiness was with Virtuous 2.39 or whatever, months ago.
So ask yourself why you want to go higher. Bragging rights? Quadrant scores to show your mates? Do you even notice a difference between, let's say, 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz? Is it really worth it?
Think about it.
Cheers

So much detail, couldn't have said it better myself In short, 1 Ghz is enough for most, 1.5 is more than enough. Anything above that is DANGEROUS and should be avoided.

Yeah, that's the regular Sensation.
We are taking about the XL which has a single core 1.5ghz CPU.
+1 agree with lowveld. I Never OC'ed for normal usage. I don't feel the need. You can't tell the difference in performance IMO

I'm sorry if I missed the point, but is there anything overclocking that much is necessary for? I mean, I'm at 1,3 GHz max now but my phone runs at 1 GHz 60% of the time, rest of the time lower. I never reached something above 1 GHz.. ?
So why overclocking even more?
Edit:
My mistake, 60% of time it's at 245 mhz and only 30% of time at 1GHz.
But my question is still the same..

Could anyone port the xperia S rom to sensation and to make it AOSP based?
The same processors and screen resolutions...
Thank you!

take this download of a ICS sense-based rom full themed like an xperia s...
everything works, is really cool and fast...everything is just like an xperia
is better to have a sense based rom, you have everything working, good battery life and performance

this is a webstar1 rom, all credits goes to him.

They don't have the same screen resolutions and the processor of the Xperia S is clocked higher, just sayin'.

mmmno, they have the same cpu. our snapdragon s3 can reach 1.5ghz as "recommended max frequency", this is reported on qualcomm's website.
we have a 1.5 ghz cpu underclocked at 1.2 out-of-the-box, but is the same of the sensation xe (which htc decided to bring at 1.4 on stock)...

Technical info about HTC Sensation & Sensation XE

I have one confutation. How HTC has over clocked XE at 1.5GHz. Because if we flash the same rom on original sensation, it will not change cpu speed. So how XE rom identify the device type? Or there are two version of Qualcomm MSM8260? I have tested this after changing both CID & MID…

I don't know for sure, but from my experience and knowledge I guess that XE has a different kernel.

There is a line in the kernel that reads what variant of the Sensation you have. I heard that the Snapdragon on the XE is a newer release of the 8260 chipsets with improved clock speed.
Basically the same CPU with better cooling/capabilities to be stable enough @ 1.5 GHz.

I thought so...

As far as I know the phones are identical internally apart from the battery.
Get CID getter and have a look. There are "hidden" partitions that we don't get access to, so for example if you change CID the original info is still retained, same for MID.
As some one mentioned I believe that the kernel reads the info and determines what it'll do. You can run both standard and XE at 1728MHz (YMMV) without issues. The XE won't clock any faster than the standard and delivers the same performance.
