It works great, I was overclicking my Qtek 8310 (same as I-Mate SP5, SP5m, Qtek 8300, 8310) one step at a time and was running TCPMP Benchmark each time, with same file, saving results to file.
Speed improvements were big at each step!
Bench Data Rate went from 1.1Mbit to 1.7Mbit
Average Speed went from 125.17% to 192.79%
At 288MHz it froze in the middle of benchmark.
Just remember that when phone goes to sleep when you not use it for a minute or so, it will reset the speed setting to default. Nice thing is command line options, so you can have it set desired speed for selected applications, that require more power.

Sticky, please?

It's in Pocket PC news section, mine is for Smartphones owners, in the device specific forum section, that this app runs on

As usual... Your phone is not application unlocked. See pinned "Tweaks" topic.

A little more clarity would have been useful.

It seems you need to use the SDA Unlocker in order to get it to work, I guess the reg "tweaks" don't do enough.

[ElGato65]

And what a fantastic app.  I guess there seems to be so much room for overclocking because maybe the phone manufacturers would favour battery life over speed to a certain extent.

Yes, reg edit is one thing, then you need to run unlock app. It's all in the "Tweaks" topic I mentioned.

This CPU seems very efficient, so little overclock gives so much speed boost

That's the impression I'm getting too, from overclocking the MDA Compact II/HTC Charmer (same processor as your HTC Tornado but in Pocket PC Phone form). A small increase in clock speed from 200MHz to 250Mhz was enough to outperform the Intel Xscale processored MDA III/HTC Blue Angel at 400MHz.

As you say, seems quite a capable processor although I AM still wary of damaging the life of the battery or the processor itself...  :|

I overclock my PC all the time, 15 years of experience. Overclocking itself never damaged anything. My Smartphone just froze (due to overheating, probably) in the middle of the test. At lower settings it passed benchmark. You could dfamage CPU if you up the voltage, but we don't.

Battery life - could you use Pocket Battery Analyzer and do two runs (full battery discharge) with same setup, for example backlight on, looped MP3 or DivX player in background? Once at stock speed, second run with overclock? That would clear things up. Lets hope this CPU is as power efficient as powerful  
Pocket Battery Analyzer draws nice estimated battery life graph, you will quickly notice if overclocked is going to last shorter and how much.

Does the SDA unlocker work on the E200 and C500, both on Orange?? I cant seem to unlock the phones. The same message comes up- ' phone is not unlockable '  ?? What do I do? Also once unlocked, will I be able to overclock these phones? At present I get the same I/O error.

Thanks

I have no idea, this is not "unlock" topic, just remember that SDA unlock REQUIRES you to modify registry entries before you run it.
It's all here
http://spaces.msn.co...g...A!198.entry
and here:
http://www.modaco.co...5m-t230975.html

If you have E200 and C500 then please check hardware specific forum sections.
Please stop writing about phone unlocking, get back to this topic once you have the overclock application running and have some feedback on it: performance, battery life, successfully rurnning applications that were unable to work smooth before, etc.

Listen mate, I was asking about unlocking the phone because I couldnt get the Overclocking application to work! I thought this forum was there to help people. For you interest, I managed to Overclock the E200 to 160mhz, and there was considerable improvement in performance, both in the BetaPlayer benchmark and also the playability of some Gameboy roms with Gnuboy CE. Then I tried underclocking- and the phone was still usable, although sluggish at 80mhz. The battery life is untested. Cannot work out how to go into sleep mode to reset the clock speed, other than turning off the phone.

mine resets clock speed as soon as the screen goes black, 1 minute after I left it untouched. I set the time in Power Management menu.

[namiran]

look in the pinned tweaking topic, i have given a tip how to change the screen turnoff and backlight turnoff to whatever you want to, even many many hours. hope this helps, great discovery

Yes, but I want my backlight to turn off in less that a minute, not more   So I will change it to 30 seconds. Screen is biggest battery drain.

[Eminos]

As you guys know, the clockspeed is reset when the device is suspended (the screen turns off). Is there a way to execute a program automaticly, in the background, when the device (Qtek8310) wakes up from suspension ? .. this in order to revert back to overclocked speed again.
