Overclocking T68(i), T610(630) |

Nearly everything with a processor in it can be overclocked: Pocket calculators, PDAs, PCs, etc. etc.
So why shouldn't it be possible to overclock a mobile phone?
The T68(i)'s processor offers a speed about ~12Mhz, the T610(630) has a processor running at ~32Mhz.
I think the range the devices can be overclocked are:
T68(i): ~ 20 - 25 Mhz
T610(630): ~ 40 - 45 Mhz
So we need a hardware genius with an old T68(i) (or new T630  ) who tries overclocking a device by modifying the hardware a bit.
I couldn't be hard to do but one must know HOW to do. 
Post your ideas, comments here.

What is overclocking?

@overclocking: You are increasing the core speed of the processor and/or other hardware and so you are getting more speed. For example a processor that is "originally built" for 12Mhz can be run at 14Mhz...

Ok, yes the T68i would certainly need it

t68i is fast enough,it could be faster when writting messages.
for my needs - enough.

A lot of us are already complaining that the phone's battery doesn't last that long. Overclocking the processor would use up the available power more quickly.
Plus, heat would be an issue. An overclocked processor generates more heat than one running at it's rated speed. And batteries being drained more quickly also produces more heat.
I, for one would like a faster hardware on my phone. Java/mophun apps would load faster. But I wouldn't want a warm phone in my pants pocket.
Just my two cents worth.

I dont think that a 12mhz processor can generate so much heat that u can feel it. Take the t610-do u feel any heat? Also they have no cooler,no need. The battery can b an issue but i doubt it would b an issue if u overclocking it from 12 to 15. Other than these,why would u need an overclocked phone? A pc i can c but a phone? Neah! :D

The T610 processor is running at a faster clock speed, compared to a T68i. But it is still being used/run at its rated capacity, that is why you don't feel any warmth radiating from your phone. |

I don't think that there is an heat problem by oc when it is't more them it is... But i am thinking that it might be possibly th upgrade the processer, like to take the cpu from the 610/630 and use in the 68i...

even if you do overclock the phone then it will become more unstable than it already is. i've tried it with a pc and unless you spend hundreds of pounds and have hardware which is designed to be overclocked (and phones aren't) then you'll just make your phone crash all the time.
but its a good thought. |

The main reson that pc's get unstable when you oc's it is becourse of the heat... I an oc all that i can get out of my computer and it don't get unstable... But i also know when it can't take anymore... :-D
But an change of cpu in the phone will work if the connections are the same... That we only can see on the blueprints of the cpu...

I don't know how far the technology have reached but earlier when they programmed for simple processors like mobile phones they calculated the time by checking how many cycles has gone.
So if you overclock a phone, wouldn't the time go much faster and the phone think a call is longer than it actually is?

Nowadays the realtimeclock runs seperate from the processor. So overclocking won't result in a false time .
@other_postings:
Forget an exchange of the processor. How will you realize that? And: Think about compability . |

First of all replacing the cpu in the phone is impossible. We're talking about cpu cores that are located in a chip with other non cpu functions. And also we're talking about chips soldered to a circuitboard with at least 8 layers. The chips are most likely BGA-chips which has all the small pins/\"balls\" under the chip.
Secondly overclocking the phone would most likely render the phone useless since gsm timings etc probably are derived from the cpu clock.
