so far no problem with my phone. its flying like an angel.

But right now i need help from you guys about 2 questions.

1: how can i perma choice 500-950 ??
because when i reboot phone it goes to default ideal with 500-850.

2: why do the phone switch between 500 and 950 mhz so much??? even when the phone is in idle and cpu usage is like 3-5%.

Can i choice when the 950 should go on?? like 30 or higher % cpu usage activates the 950 mhz and under 30 % cpu usage the phone goes only in 500 mhz.


because right now it seems my phone never goes to idle. because it uses 950 mhz too much even when no programs are open.
You have missed the last step to make it permanent. Try to look in the wiki.maemo.org/Overclocking again. You need to make the /etc/default/kernel-power file and like you want it.

@Titan,
I am running Titan's lv 250-900 for awhile now, and just found the following error from dmesg:
[65016.122100] wl1251: ERROR Power save entry failed, giving up

I don't know what it is about. I did not set any smartreflex or anything else.Here is the info from the pmconfig:
# Power management configuration file
enable_off_mode 1
sleep_while_idle 1
sr_vdd1_autocomp 0
sr_vdd2_autocomp 0
clocks_off_while_idle 1
voltage_off_while_idle 1
scaling_governor ondemand
scaling_max_freq 900000
scaling_min_freq 250000
sleep_ind

Please help me on this issue.
Thanks.

EDIT : Aditional info from kernel-power:
~ $ /etc/default/kernel-power
#UP_THRESHOLD=75
#SAMPLING_RATE=150000
VDD1_OPPS_VSEL="30 30 38 48 48 54 54 54 54 54 54 54 60 72 72"
DSP_OPPS_RATE="90 90 180 360 400 430 430 430 430 500 500 500 500 520 520"
MIN_FREQ=250000
MAX_FREQ=900000
SMARTREFLEX_VDD1=0
SMARTREFLEX_VDD2=0

Do you know how i would do this? I'm a bit of a beginner with all this but been trying to learn!

Would it just be a command from x terminal or would it require editing the "/sys/power/vdd1_opps_vsel values"

Or am i completely off track?!

Thanks in advance

As root under xterm, try this:

1 root@glamb-n900 [~]# cat /sys/power/vdd1_opps_vsel

In my case, it returns:

0 15 26 36 40 42 47 48 50 53 56 59 63 64 68

These are the voltage increase multipliers for all the defined frequencies:

Off 125 250 500 550 600 700 750 800 850 900 950 1000 1100 1200

So in this case, you'll want to increase the 10th value. In my case, it's 53, so bumping that to 55 would probably solve the problem. To do that temporarily:

echo 0 15 26 36 40 42 47 48 50 55 56 59 63 64 68 > /sys/power/vdd1_opps_vsel

To make it permanent, edit /etc/default/kernel-load, and update the line:

VDD1_OPPS_VSEL="0 15 26 36 40 42 47 48 50 53 56 59 63 64 68"

That should do it.

Note though that the processor may be downclocking for short periods while doing DSP related stuff (playing/recording video), and it may be at these voltages the DSP is crashing. So you may have to increase various voltages to get it stable. It takes some patience.

The DSP_OPPS_RATE variable in kernel-load species the frequencies of the DSPs across the CPU freq spectrum in the same way as VDD1_OPPS_VSEL specifies the voltage multipliers, so you can tune the DSP frequencies as well.

To test stability at a given frequency, you could lock the min and max scaling frequencies to the one you're interested in (250, 500, 850, whatever) for short periods to test.

Im using titans maemo24 with ideal settings running at 500-850MHz default.

Will it have a positive effect on battery life and CPU safety if I change to 250-805MHz???

Im using titans power maemo flasher 24 and when ever i charge my phone , it resets the frequency to 600mhz.
Is this a bug or i am doing something wrong

that's what im talkin about.

queen beecon is really useful

would you mind sharing the code for your temp? cant get the awk command right, and sometimes show a -40 after a cold boot.

thanks

Yes, but not by much. It depends on the VSEL value discussed in the post above. I would also considering a change to the latest maemo25 kernel.
