maemo.org - Talk - Overclock the N900?

That is correct.

I'm running mine at 750 MHz now. 800 seemed stable at first but after prolonged use caused crashes and apparently corrupted the rootfs. 900 MHz booted but froze almost immediately.

I recommend everyone to check the output of dmesg every now and then. If there are UBIFS (or other filesystem) errors or kernel warnings, you'll have to lower your clock frequency and (in case of filesystem corruption) possibly do a full reflash.

Many users seem to be very enthuasiastic about running at highest possible speed, so I'm expecting more cases of corruption and crashing soon. I can't be the only unlucky one :)

I had my rootfs corrupted running at 830MHz too and so far the filesystem has not been corrupted at 800MHz.

I'm glad I'm not the only unlucky one that can't hit the magical 900MHz mark ^^.

Re: Overclock the N900?

i've been running the 800 - 125 image for a couple of days and its been great, i wanted a little more speed so i flashed to the 900 - 125 and the phone got really scatty, locked up with more than 4 apps running and got really hot.

i've flashed back to the 800 and its all fine.

i'd like to know why some devices can cope with it and others just hate it.
