Omnia getting hot

[Guest cfds]

Hello Guys,

I know I am not the 1st one to report this but my I900 is getting hot on the lower part of the phone. It does it when using iGO8 with BT and an external GPS receiver, it does it when viewing a movie on it, it does it while it tries to synchronize with my Vista laptop (which still does not work).

To me it looks like the processor is getting hot when under high load...Flashing to the DXHJ1 rom did not cure this problem...

Are U experiencing the same and is there a solution for?

It's typical, while iGo8 is known processor resources consummer.

I found even more, maybe you'll find similar symptoms: sometimes Omnia is fixing GPs (internal) within 5-10 miutes, what is unacceptable.

Well, I'm dealing with this in such way:

- install XCPUScalar 3.03;

- set processor speed flat or dynamic, whatever you'll choose, but DON NOT exceed 300MHz;

- run iGo8.

GPS is fixed within seconds only, and phone became little bit warmer, but not hot.

Of course, you can exit XCPUScalar immediately when you'll need more power from your phone.

One precaution: DO NOT mark: auto start after soft reset. If the frequency will be wrong, and your screen will start to flick, then you'll be still able to readjust it by soft reset.

Hope it will help you.

So then it is the processsor who gets warm when loaded, if this is the case everybody should experience this...?

I will give XCPUscaler a go...

How well has this program worked for you?

[Guest mxmaciek]

Well...

I've been using it on Asus A696, with another settings since about a year.

On Omnia, I've instaled it after I have observed that it's going too hot, approx two weeks ago.

Works well.

I've tested that with CPU decreased to 300MHz iGo8 is fixing within secs instead of mins, and TomTom is fixing position without GPSGate.

Same time, when I have changed settings to dynamic, but keepipng almost all range at 200MHz, while 71-100% CPU load remaining at 300MHz - I've extended the battery lifetime to two days. Not too much, but...

So, (but - I'm not advising to do this before tests) I've set XCPUScalar to autostart after soft reset and minimize on start.

Csummarizing: I'm pretty happy with using it.

Seems a good apps to be installed. I hope by decreasing from 624MHz to 300MHz it wont slow down the overall phone function.

Thanks for sharing mxmaciek

When I went to Handango it says that this is imcompatible with this device. Which version do you have?

Last version, 3.0.3...

Chokia,

when you'll need "full speed", you can just call it, then press "exit". This will restore normal Omnia speed control.

Can you use XCPUScalar 3.03 to allocate memory to a certain program?

I don't think so... AFAIK, the one of the "advantages" of all WM based systems is memory dynamic allocation.

I know only one SatNav software, developed in Poland, called AutoMapa, which allows you to allocate certain amount of memory for POIs and maps.

But, this is unique, unfortunately.

mine is getting hot at the lower part of the battery or should i say i think the CPU when I receive a call or during a call. Is this normal?
