Can we make this thread constructive and discuss what are the common pit falls for a aspiring power user? I have had similar issues with my phone, all tweakers seem to. What hacks give people the most trouble?

I can say, undervolting and overclocking was buggy for me, Enabling Smart Reflex on VDD 1 and 2 has worked well for me, but I dont exceed 805 mhz.

I removed "Advanced Power" (and "Advanced Power Monitor" just in case) and my battery life improved significantly.

Any other trouble apps to stay away from?

Alternatively, bring your Canon/Nikon SLR, put it on a tripod, stand at a distance and remote fire the camera with the n900 to show off Who cares if the camera doesn't work, you can control other cameras! muhahahahahahahahaha *cough* *cough* *cough* *splutter* *dies...*

After a quick glance back to the OP, I'm reminded that you actually had lockups and such.
I've experienced these as well when using the camera, which is why I configured mine to go back to stock voltage and speed when the camera door opens (see my other thread for details).

The short version is: The DSP cannot handle (even mild) overclocking and undervolting nearly as well as the CPU does.
On my (rev 2204) device, using the DSP (camera or watching videos) is certain to cause crashes or lockups while overclocked even mildly. On the other side of the coin, at stock levels (even with power kernel 47) I have not had one probem with the camera.

Try a FULL reflash to PR1.3 and I'll bet your camera works much more reliably.
See again such as yourself and others have a indepth knowlage on the N900 and its linux firmware. What I know is limited... and by following threads Ive gotten my phone upto were it is which is pretty subtancial. Its a great phone and i dont think Ill sell it yet! but Im not going to learn much more about the workings of the unit and maybe a reflash would be good for it but no way am I going there...its taken me months to get it here... right now as long as I can make and recieve calls, stream radio five live and flac tracs in my car, ohh the internet, emails and text... its staying as it is. Although evey thing has a price...!!! so whats the tag on a excellent condition N900. the screens been covered from day1 with protectors so is compleatly scratch free and the casin has 3 tiny just about see dinks on it were the headphone socket is thanks to my brothers butter fingers and dropping it. Apart from that it doesnt even go in any pockets with anything else in. So give me a idea and who knows ah!!

I'd never take any phone (no N900, no iPhone, no Android) for photos to a critical event. Phones and tablet computers are that: phones
and tablet computers.
Take the light weight and you will get shaky photos on such occasions.
This is still a field for grown up photo cameras.

N900 and the other phones are ok if you do not have your camera
with you and you get an unexpectable shot.

Nothing more.
Nothing less.

yeah, N900 is a small computer that fits in our pockets. I love this community.
