I overclocked with Titans Kernel after some reading here. Set it to the 'ideal' setting (500mhz min/850mhz max) but with my own min/max 250/750 limits set.

After that i fully charged her up then went out for a 5 hour stomp in the hills, headphones plugged in throughout plus some pic taking. Twleve hours later and after some evening wifi surfing, emailing, 3 quick phone calls, xterm & conky its only just gone down to 50% battery. Rather chuffed indeed and certainly no hiccups or obvious temp increase just snappier performance and to me thats clearly an improvement on battery life over the default kernel. If stability continues i might jump to 850mhz or 900mhz and stick there if all is ok (which i suspect it will).

One thing i have noticed from 'kernel_config show' in xterm the min 250mhz (alongside 125mhz) is an 'avoid frequency'. After a further checks via Conky its apparent the device doesnt drop below 500mhz, apart from screen lock or idle no doubt

I'm curious if it could be improved further if 250 was to be removed from avoid ?? OR would the 500mhz diff between Max & Min mean the greater range of mhz fluctuation would increase battery drain or maybe make the UI laggy from saver mode as 125 can ??


Any advice ??
