[Q] wondering which 1 is 4G

i just wanna ask how would i know which 1 is sensation and sensation 4G..because sensation 4G 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, Adreno 220 GPU...sensation din have Adreno 220 GPU.....can anyone help me where to check through the phone?

Both the Sensations have the same CPU and GPU, the Adreno 220, but one has a 4G radio. I guess it depends on where you live as to which one you would need to buy...

[Q] Sensation XE performance problem after root

Hi,
I recently rooted my Sensation XE and tried several ROMs.
The thing is, before I rooted the phone my Quadrant score was 2300. I did not check the score after root operation but before flashing other custom ROMs.
I tried ARDH, CoreDroid, InsertCoin, LeeDroid and at last a stock XE ROM from the forum.
The Quadrant score of none of them exceeded 1900 after rooting.
At all of these ROMs after rooting, the processor seems to be 1.2 GHz Dual-Core in the hardware information section but the CPU Master Free application shows 1,5 GHz overclocked.
My question is, how did my processor information became 1.2 GHz? Did it occur in the rooting operation?
Everybody say that the rooting operation is same between sensation and sensation XE, but the performance i get from my XE became like a sensation with Beats Audio.
If the hardware of Sensation and XE are the same but Xe overclocked, how did this significant change happen?
Because my device seems to be overclocked to 1.5 Ghz in all of these ROMs.
Even if you don't know the answer, thanks for reading a question this long

I believe that the Sensation XE runs at 1.5, but the Sensation is underclocked to 1.2.

The kernel will unlock a phones ability to be clocked at a higher speed. Use somethinh like daemon oc or set CPU to control the maximum and minimum speeds. Any speed increase may well be tempered by reduced battery life. I have an original Sensation running ARHD 3.6.9 & bricked kernel which allows me to pick and choose my clock speed with Daemon oc. Last run I got 3000+ on quadrant so check your CPU settings. FWIW speed isn't everything

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

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..

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.

[q] cpu chipset

does anyone know if setting the CPU SPEED to 1.5 GHz is dangerous while the SENSATION XL has the same chipset as the desire s has (Qualcomm Snapdragon MS8255) and the SENSATION XL's CPU speed is set to 1.5GHz .

sensation has msm8260 (dual core 1.2-1.5 GHz and adreno 220)

Sensation XL indeed has MSM8255.
Just like in PCs, chipsets in phones are binned not only by their type, but also by their target frequency. You don't go overclocking Core2Duo 1.8 GHz to 2.4 GHz because it's "the same CPU", right? Because it isn't the same CPU. The same applies here.

אז זה מסוכן או לא ?

English, please.
Answer - would you run the CPU on your computer at 1.5x the speed it was made to run, because there's CPU with the same name (i3/i5/i7/whatever) that runs at 1.5x the speed?
The same answer applies to your phone.
I expect people to be able to make minimal logic work with their own brains rather than just answering "yes/no". I think that this way people actually understand more than what they've asked for.

i guessed that was the answer but just wanted to be sure...
thanks anyway !

msm8255 should run stable on 1.5GHz (if stock freq is lower)

No it won't. It depends on the specific part, and few parts run stock 1.5 GHz without stability issues surfacing / burning out very fast (if overvolted).
If you really want - you can try it on T-Mobile G2, that has MSM8255 of the earliest bin, with stock at 800MHz. Good luck, don't forget to write how did you like a phone as a toaster.
I suggest refraining from bad advice, especially when it's in the forum and it's not your phone you're talking about. You can burn your phones as much as you like, but don't go around suggesting it to others. Just let me understand something: you have stock non-rooted ICS and have no idea about such basics as which guide to use to downgrade, but you allow yourself posting about chipset frequencies?

so which speed can i overclock to that shouldn't turn my device into a toaster ?

1.2 runs most things with no lag.

The point is each chip is different even if the same model
What works for me on my device won't necessarily work for you
So test and see if your brave enough, but be aware of the consequences

I overclock my ds to1.5 every time I play games and it doesn't even get warm. So I think it's pretty harmless.
