That could well be sub69, but how would you account for your Jasjar running seemly perfect compared to other ones who are experiencing less favourable results, like me? :cry:

I really don't know the answers to the questions I'm asking, but there is a colective wealth of knowledge that frequents this forum and by expressing all our setbacks and questions, I hope they will eventually be answered. Hopefully by HTC themselves (someone who works for them would be nice ) :lol: But I'm sure you understand what I mean.

I have read on another thread that some universals were fitted with differently manufactured LCD screens, if this is true, then it stands to reason what mbtsoft said concerning different chipsets could be a real cause for concern.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Absolutely agree, I'm baffled as well.

Sorry, I was just trying to think of the possible difference between the MDA Pro and the JasJar WM5 build. I appreciate that it was a bit of a useless comment as far as getting to the bottom of things generally... :oops:

mbtsoft does indeed seem to be far more clued up than I on matters such as these. I too read about the screen difference between JasJars, and that may easily suggest that other components have been switched, substituted or slightly different between batches?

I think I'll shut up now, until I have something a bit more helpful to add!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Ah-ha, I've just had my first crash (which I'm putting down to PHM)

I was listening to some music (.ogg files, as always, through TCPMP) and had connected to my work network through the Citrix client and I was happily checking my office e-mails, when I accidentally hit the camera button and kaboom!

Meltdown!

I'm fairly certain I also had Messsaging, Contacts, and Calendar open in the background, 'cause I always do, but the camera killed it! No big problem, I can't envisage any scenario when I'd actually want all those programs open at the same time anyway, but at least i can now say I've had a crash!!! I'll keep going for a bit with PHM but as I said, only for testing purposes, cause I'm not in any real need of it.

Will keep you posted...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Cheers Sub69. If your willing and know of a place where I can upload a pretty large test video (8.37 MB), I'll send it you for testing (preferably without PHM first). No viruses I promise :wink:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Ah, beat me to it!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
sub69: sent you one back! :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Well, there's got to be something different between our deviecs. The video from mackaby007 stuttered a little on my JasJar, but after re-encoding it myself, I had no problems at all.

Unfortunately mackaby still had problems with it stuttering when I sent the re-encoded video back to him. So...what's going on?!?

(We were both able to play both videos without any problem by using PHM, BTW)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Fluffy_Clouds:
As I understood it, in the past companies like Intel produced chips, tested them and then graded them according to the results. They were sometimes also graded according to market demand. This of course meant that the customer was sometimes sold a faster chip that had been labelled at a slower speed simply because demand at that speed was greater than demand for the faster chip.

I know that silicon manufacturing techniques have moved on greatly but this often resulted in symptoms similar to those you are experiencing. Both chips run perfectly at the speed they are sold at but one is able to run perfectly happily at much faster speeds than the other.

The unfortunate thing in this case is the sub69 has the faster silicon but doesn’t seem to want it whilst mackaby007 wants faster silicon but hasn’t got it. :!:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
I wouldn't go so far as to say I don't want it!

My main source of confusion is that mackaby is experienceing problems that I'm not, even before PHM is used. That either means that his machine isn't functioning perfectly at the speed it's meant for, or mine is working 'too perfectly'.

Anyone know of any 'proper' benchmarking apps that could be used to check the actual speeds of our devices before PHM is run?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Hi all. Seems like fluffy clouds scenario could well be the case here. I don't actually have any problems at all with my Jasjar, It's just that it doesn't perform in certain areas as well as I would like or think that it should according to specs!

All my previously encoded videos run perfectly without the need for PHM or the like, but they were encoded @ 320x240 for the i-mate Jam!

I now own a 640x480 VGA device and the videos no longer look acceptable to me as you can visibly see the artifacts as the picture has been altered to accomadate the 640 screen.

I therefore encoded new files at the new resolution of 640x480, which looks much better (DVD appearance) but has problems playing back smoothly unless I plug it in to the mains, when it plays back perfectly without any stuttering at all.

I really am beginning to believe that it is down to hardware differences somehow as sub69 can achieve these results without the need for overclocking or pluggin in the mains adaptor!

I'm very pleased for him, but very dissapointed for myself. I could be more accepting of this if I had confirmation of this (highly unlikey I know) but due to the many small and for some people big issues that some Jasjar owners are experiencing and the fact that CPU utilisation seems to make a difference, I believe that there may be hope yet in upcoming ROM updates.

What to do now? Try to find out what HTC claim is the supported resolution of videos that the jasjar can comfortably handle! I believe the answer will be 320x240! hence the reason for my video issues.

Another gripe though; sub69, do you have issues with slow refresh rates when opening the lid of your Jasjar when wanting to either answer a phone call or browse the o/s in general? I have read around the forum and I'm not alone in this department and my wifes MDA Pro suffers the same problem! If you don't, again, this could be down to you possibly having a better chipset than most of the others on the market!

I'll make one last attempt of trial and error and will hard/soft reset like sub69 directly at the point when the o/s states it will now set up......

I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for all your help. :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zohaer21:
does any one know when the next rom upgrade for jasjar is????
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
on the contrary mon amigo, your help and feedback has been invaluable to all intersested in this subject. Without these discussions, we would never come to any understanding why if even at all, there are differences in the builds of these devices,....so thank you very much for your contributions...this is zda developers after all.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
I think there was a bit of a lag using the "Phone" application when I first got my device.

After I installed the new ROM, and I decided not to load the ExtROM, the phone application seems to be running more smoothly now (and there's no i-mate skin on the Phone app, and no stupid Smart Dialler either!).

Just realised, there's also no Video Call function.......bugger!!! (Shows how much I use video calling though, doesn't it!?)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Sorry all. That last post of mine was in response to sub69's earlier post.

I'm loosing tack of time and seses :shock:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Ok, have just Hard Reset my JasJar.

This time I let the first two cab files install from the ExtROM, and hit reset as the third cab was starting to install.

I now have my video calling facility back, and the speed of the "Phone" app is no slower than it was without any ExtROM at all. In fact, nothing's any slower.

Unfortunatley it looks like I'll have to live with the (rather less attractive) i-mate phone dialer skin, and the most pointless of applications - SmartDialler!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabil2000:
cpu'z

this is why i so very wished sub69 would have accepted my offer to exchange my jasjar for his (speedier) lucky one ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mtbsoft:
I know of three benchmarking tools for the PPC - see my review.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Food for thought!

Very comprehensive review, but whilst the CPUs' are the same Xscale type, I can't help but wonder wether the benchtesting programs used are truly going to give an accurate raeding. Let's not forget WM5.0 & persistant storage are new to the PPC arena and already ROM & RAM are being used differently to previous incarnations of pocket Pcs' and I for one would want every aspect of the Universal stree tested, including the phone application.

I suppose I will have to wait for true WM5.0 compliant benchmarking software.

Additionally, I hard reset my Jasjar, once again, and allowed everything (Ext ROM) to install, then uninstalled skype, CA antivirus and backgammon. Then installed only;TCPMP. The device is now much more stable and responsive. I get no 'lock-ups' or 'freezing' and have not needed any soft resets. I can even play my 640x480 encoded films with little stuttering and minimal dropping of frame rates!

Just goes to show that maybe we should not be installing pre-WM5.0 software and expect the Jasjar to perform as well as it can! Something mentioned in many threads around the forum. :cry:

One last gripe for now though, the Jasjar does seem to respond better coming out of standby mode if in tablet mode as opposed to closed-up. I find this irratating as I like to keep it closed for added protection.

Anyway, the Exec is out now. Let us hope that it is very stable, as it would imply that all Jasjar owners need only wait for a decent ROM update to fix all problems. :D

hi

id like to report here that my experience with overclocking my imate jasjar with phm to 624mhz went without a hitch... since the word go ..no lockups or hangups etc adn it worked fine from the first attempt

same for underclocking...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Glad to hear that things are going better for you mackaby, I still think the vast, vast majority of problems that people are experiencing are due to software conflicts/incompatibility, rather than the JasJar being a "pile of poo"! Sounds like you're coming to the same conclusion...

Now what we need is a whole new flood of WM5 software so that I can feel smug. :wink:

Hopefully there'll be a Media Player (preferably TCPMP) somewhere amongst the first of the new softwares to be released.

For now, I'll have to get SPB Benchmark and see what happens. You're absolutely right about compatibility, but it may be useful purely for comparing JasJar/MDA Pro/XDA Execs between themselves, if nothing else?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
I second that sub69! let us know of your findings if you carry out any benchmarking. 8)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Running SPB Benchmark now (it says it's "recommended for use on a freshly hard-reset device", but I'm not going to sod around with that at the moment!)

Also says it's going to take over half an hour...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Oh, f*** I got a phone call halfway through my benchmark, and 15 e-mails automatically picked up!

I think next time it'd be wise for me to turn the phone part off before I run a benchmark (schoolboy error!)

I'll have another go tonight when I don't need my phone on, but the results up 'til it all slowed right down, and I turned the benchmark off were between 80-90% of the Blue Angel results as per the SPB Website.

Any more updates in testing Pocket Hack Master?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gubbs:
LOL overclocking ARM/Xscale architecture is totally pointless.

.. and no doubt expensive in the very near future.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Completely forgot about this. (this was ages ago!)

As cktlcmd suggested, I've found Pocket Hack Master to be completely pointless. About a day after trying different setups, I un-installed it, and haven't gone back to it.

My JasJar runs perfectly well with the software that I have on it, and there's apparently no increase in performance when overclocking with PHM. (And I tried LOADS of different PHM settings...recommended ones, custom ones, nothing seemed to make the slightest bit of difference)

I'm firmly of the opinion that if you only install WM5 compatible software, there are no problems with the Universal. Unfortunately, the various OEM's have seen fit to put software on the ExtROM's which hasn't been properly tested with WM5.

Just wipe everything from the Universal, and install nice WM5-friendly apps. Everything will be fine, and there'll be no need for overclocking (even if it did make a difference).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Thanks for the quick response. You saved me time to try it.

It was Gubbs who suggested it. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Oh yeah... :oops:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bakerk:
Well, without running benchmarks, I am convinced that PHM has speeded my exec up noticeably.. and thats good enough for me.

I converted the trial by purchasing and am quite happy with it..

Just my pennyworth.... :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ice_coffee:
Happily running 624 MHz on my EXEC here
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
What are your exact settings? Just curious.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ehabh:
Just like PCs

If you have ever overclocked more than one PC you will know that overclocking does not depend on your model, it depends on your specific chip. To explain, you can take 100 intel Pentium 4 processors. And each one will overclock differently. This is inherent in the manufacturing "quality" of each and every individual processor. But it is even more complex. The CPU is not the only component that is overclocked the ram and motherboard are too. So overclocking is NEVER and excat science.

I for example got my JasJar to run at a maximum of 580Mhz not one Mhz more. You can get 10 JasJar boxes in the same batch and each will overclock differently. Unfair? That is life but just remember that just by overclocking you are getting more, if you can not overclock you are still getting what you paid for. Also overclocking most probably reduces the life of your equipment use with care.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bakerk:
My settings are CPU = 624MHZ, RAM = 104, bus = 208, LCD = 104, SI = 373, MIPS = 261

As far as shortened CPU life, it's not too much of a problem as the exec is warranted for 2 years and by that time it's be surpassed by another sexy new PDA ..... 8)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] wh1sp3r:
I'm running my XDA Exec at 624Mhz without troubles.

With XCPUScalar I usually set it at 200Mhz when CPU is used for less than 40% and 624Mhz when it's used for more than 70%

In this way I save a lot of battery life, while I'm using it like a phone!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlingo:
talking about 624Mhz drains too much battery, how about auto-scale? Does it work well with XCPUscalar

I have set my auto-scale

Load Scale:

312Mhz 0-15%

416Mhz 16-40%

520Mhz 41-70%

624Mhz 71-100%

Wouldn't using auto-scale increases performance when you need too, but saving battery when you are only reading some notes?

I noticed in XCPUScalar, my cpu never really went below 30%. It is always between 40-50%. any idea why? everytime It's connected to my computer but not synchronizing, it's consistently at 70% CPU Usage.

I also experienced flicker whenever changes speed in autoscale.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
I'm not sure if many of you have read the HTC service manual, but on one of the pages it states that, increasing the processor speed can be harmful to the device. How much of it is true, i have no idea. Still, better be safe than sorry.

Unless you actually see a noticeable difference whn in 624Mhz mode, no sense applying it.

For some reason, even after I clear app defaults, you tube does not show up as a selectable option when I click on a youtube link within facebook.

stupid thing is it opens browser up (probably tri speed up the time to watch video) before asking browser/YouTube app.

To answer your question, anytime you root your phone or do anything like you've done it will have that splash screen when you boot up. It just represents that you have rooted (or done something else) to your phone. Before taking it in for service I would recommend doing a full factory reset to get rid of it.
