I can assume than user habits are delimiting battery life, anyway, nv kernel beating xlv... how is it possible? If 500 xlv=125 nv, and Lehto 950 ov> ideal 950 ov... ¿?¿?¿?¿
So again reinstaling 125-950-500... I'm getting crazy!!
well, i feel it kinda same. with lehtos 125-900@kernel with stockdsp, i lose about 10 percent huring cca 7-9 hours when
idle /overnight, icq on, mail retrieval every 30 minutes/ ... with titans xlv kernel, it eats about 20 percent ... weird

looking forward to seeing that "promised" titans kernel with customazable voltage anyway

Also based on BatteryGraph data idle power usage is at least 2x than it was with previous kernel!
this also happens with stock kernels: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9101
idle power usage has been perfect for me so far.

thanks! you beat me to it
if you can write a patch implement scaling_allowed_frequencies I'd glad to include it.
keeping the DSP frequencies variables could be useful as well.

Hello all.
Here http://wiki.maemo.org/Overclocking it says the default config to 'pmconfig file' .

It says:
clocks_off_while_idle 1
voltage_off_while_idle 1

But i have:
clocks_off_while_idle 0
voltage_off_while_idle 0

Any ideia because of what? Anyone have it?

cant see it?!

after installing the new kernel do i have to change the /etc/pmconfig to set the overclock?? and whats the best way to determine my current clock?

I advice putting the /etc/pmconfig on default before you settle at a speed. To try out different mhz before making them permanent in /etc/cinfig use this:

root
echo 250000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 599000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

And read this thread: http://wiki.maemo.org/Overclocking

is it not already overclocked??
Download conky, it will tell you the stats..

btw, echo 250mhz min does not work with ideal kernel

ULV & LV by titan
I discovered something about my device : using the ULV kernel it bricks when using the 850Mhz max freq but boots up normal when raising it up to 900Mhz.
been using it for almost half an hour now and it is stable.

on the other hand the LV kernel works great at any speed - so going back to the LV kernel

I do not understand your question..

There are five different titan-kernels stock/lv/ulv/xlv and ideal. You need to download a different kernel depending what type of voltage you want.

The mhz or "overclocking" is decided in the /etc/pmconfig. However you could try a mhz before you decide which speed to settle with. With the command i wrote in my last post. And yes, the ideal-kernel should be runing with 500 as min_freq.
