overclocking (or not) census
 
just out of curiosity i wanted to see a quick show of hands for how many people are overclocked, and to possibly put the brakes on the "most people have overclocked," "most? hardly any i say!" type of arguments we see on here. also i gather the possibility of flash 10.1 may require an oc'd handset so some numbers could prove useful...

Err who cares and why does it matters?!:confused:
If you want do OC if not, don`t. It is realllly simple. Why do you even talking about flash 10 needing OC phone, when there is NO flash 10 for n900:confused:

Really what is your point here?!

P.S. Make a poll its a waaaaaay easier to see.

P.S. 2 The poll is not correct. Most people overclock their phones by increasing the maxim allowed freq i.e. there is not such thing I sometimes OC and sometimes don`t the kernel chooses the freq of the CPU depending of the load.

I have tried it, but didn't notice a great deal of improvement in performance. I don't really do heavy multitasking. I also prefer to test my own applications on a device with the stock kernel and no overclocking.

i care, and i'm sure others do. its a repetitive argument i see here on tmo for starters. i already have been oc'd at 1000mhz for a while now, i'm more interested in what percentage of n900 owners have as opposed to whether i should or not, i dont base those decisions on what others do. there is no flash for n900 you're right, but if you read the threads regarding 10.1 there are some developments where this info may prove useful, or perhaps not. ummm... there is a poll, but thanks for reminding me i hadn't voted myself!

i am aware of how it works. we're talking maximums here (i assume the 650-1000 confused you?) if you can forgive the semantics for a while its pretty straightforward - if you constantly leave 1000 as your max vote a. if you overclock but stay under 900 vote b. simples. if you wish to abstain please feel free to leave.

BTW you should include underclocking & undervoltage...

I tried, but didn't get everything runnig again. At first call and sms notifications ceased to work, later I had issues with BlessN900. As taking pictures is one of my main uses, I upstood from over-clocking. However, I did enjoy my 850mHz-times.

Overclock = increase maximum allowed frequency. Frequency scaling is a different thing.

Btw, I'm also interested in this poll.

In my case, I have my N900 running @1150MHz, "ideal" voltage profile, and I have no problems at all.

i considered it but thought over-complicating the poll may cloud the results, anyone who has underclocked feel free to leave feedback and frequencies as a post though.

here running 24/7 125-1100mhz with lv or default voltages.
