maemo.org - Talk - Overclock the N900?

Interesting, a lot of people reported some battery saving.

Is it placebo or you just have a local effect?

EDIT: you sure you didn't have USB attached?

no cable attached, just Wifi enabled and Conky+Terminal running for 10mins.
could be a "local effect"

Would appreciate it thanks!

Just use your head and browse this topic. This same thing has been already asked dozens of times.

Has to be. My phone has been mostly idling for 4 hours and 44 minutes. Few phone calls, few apps installed, xterm.. Most of this time connected to wifi and conky on.

125mhz 77%
800mhz 11%

Re: Overclock the N900?

I installed the kernel app (version 19) that could be found in the repos
But my info is still missing at the About menu.
I flashed it before with the kernel zImage-900mhz, after that my info was gone.

I just couldn't retrieve it back :(
Read a lot of posts, still no luck...

Any help? :)

you seem to be running an old firmware (PR1.0). PR1.1 should be the minimum required.
I'll add that to the description.

I have the same problem and mine reads:
Linux Nokia-N900-51-1 2.6.28.10maemo-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Tue Ap 6 13:21:33 EEST 2010 armv71 unknown

and as you can see i'm running the latest fw. the problem sees to lie elsewhere...

Edit: I installed the 125MHz enabled kernel and associated files. Now uname -a reads:
Linux Nokia-N900-51-1 2.6.28.10maemo-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Tue Apr 6 15:47:28 CEST 2010 armv71 unknown

My phone mostly seems to be idling at 125MHz by the way...

I'd say it's mostly placebo until I see some real statistical data. AFAIK nobody has done any real tests, people just report what they feel like the battery lasts (with extremely varying usage patterns).
