HTC Performance (overclocking) OEM - Page 6

Ok, more testing....

I have no idea what its doing. using pocket hack master to view low level settings:
HTC Perf. off: - cpu 312 bus 208 mem104 lcd 104/sticky engine
HTC Perf. on, either speed:- cpu 312 bus 208 mem104 lcd 104/sticky engine

So no change - but for some reason, it sure feels snappier with it on.

Apparently this utility came from Helmi_c.

Chances are it just raises the bar on how fast the cpu can work. so you would only see it in a high-use time. can someone try streaming a video and then use one of the programs to clock the cpu?

Well, the spb perf tests are running CPU at 100% - and they're not running any faster with any of the HTC Performance settings.

So I don't think that's it. I'm thinking maybe (just maybe!) the overclocking isn't working. But, what might be working is the min speed of 300ish mhz is higher then then default setting... so in general use it would feel snappier.

Clearly, it never does actually overclock beyond 416mhz.

HTC Camera seems to load faster on 520 then stock, and then faster on 624 then 520.

So it seems to be working sometimes maybe??? /boggle

I know Zlog... it's really weirding me out too. None of the benchmarks show a speed improvement, but it sure feels snappier with "overclocking" on. I've decided to not worry about it, and leave it on. It just makes me happy even if it does nothing at all

ditto. I thoroughly enjoy the placebo effect, although, I can attest to quicker response. I have SPB Time and it has a screen saver function. It used to take a second or two to snap out of it when I hit a button, but now it disappears fully really quickly.

I see a difference in the Camera app too. Not only does it load much faster, but the preview screen shows smoother, almost "realtime" movement, running @ 624. Everything else seems snappier too

Has any one had issues runing at 624? Also has anyone noticed a difference between 520 and 624?

I did notice some lockups at 624 so I reverted back to stock. I was using the latest WA3 at the time though. I just reverted back to the previous WA3 and am a little gunshy of overclocking but I may try it for the hell of it.

Latest kitchen, touch dial and hopefully not an overloaded ROM so i should be ok.

Did you get issues at 624?
