Overclocking made it MORE stable?! Am I crazy?

She flies.

That means your phone runs at 768 all time. May reduce battery.

The battery life is not affected at all or its extra drain is too low for me to notice.

OCT 1.5 can cause the odd SOD if you use clock stepping - acknowledged by the developer iwfratz but unfixed to date.

xda-developers - View Single Post - Update:8/19/2010!!! There are now TWO apps for overclocking the Rhodium!!!

Hi everyone just installed OCT 1.5. I checked out the links posted but they don't really explain how to gradually increase the speed especially when it comes to #steps, load max, load min jump max and jump min.

@creedo

I wonder where you got the settings. Please link me to the forum thread or wherever you got the settings to the overclock. Thank you.

So once the program overclocks the phone the phone stays overclocked and the overclock is not dependent on the program?

I dont mean to spam but its urgent cuz my phone will not boot. plz help

I am guessing I will be using winmospeed instead of OCT 1.5 due to the fact that people say it is somewhat better and newer more stable and reliable with no additional battery drainage(Just like this program) made by the same maker that made OCT 1.5.

The more I played with my TP2, the more problems I'd have. At the very least I would need to soft reset every day to get my memory back, because it would boot with like 40% memory free and after a few hours be down to 20%. That's a well known issue with winmo 6.5.

When I give it a nice theme and CHT (the way winmo+manila is supposed to look and work) it was sluggish. And apps would unexpectedly close too often.

I'd also get occasional SOD. No biggie, I was gonna soft reset anyway :/

I tried overclocking with msm7 setcpuspeed. Even conservative changes (boosting to 604) caused problems, like 4-5 SOD's per day. So I got rid of it and thought "f!#@$ windows mobile".

Then, for some reason, I tried OCT 1.5 to overclock, since it allowed for finetuning you overclock in ways the other app can't. I followed slinkydoo's settings for it, in the specific OCT thread, going with 2 steps and 748 Mhz (the next step up caused issues).

Now I have it happily running all day and night and no need to reset. I could swear the memory leak is somehow better than before. Like I currently have 64% usage after having it on all day. Normally after 5 hours or so it's up to 80% and I'm starting to think about reset. Everything is snappy, and while I still can't run too much at once, I can keep 2-3 things going smoothly. They don't die when I switch between them.

The weird thing is, with these settings, I get no SOD. You're supposed to get more SOD with overclocking. Actually, I did get one (seemingly)... I pressed the power button at the top several times and the display didn't wake up. Then I slid open the keyboard and popped out the stylus, and it actually woke up. I've NEVER seen that. So I'm not sure if it was even a real SOD. Full disclosure: I did reset after, it was chugging even though it woke up. But at least I had a choice in the matter, and it did still show only 60ish percent used memory.

Anyone else found their phone is suddenly a lot less crappy after overclock?

Where would i go about getting this overclock??? I've been wanting to throw my TP2 in the trash man. Please help me out with this. reply asap. thanks!
