Yes. No battery is charged tp 100, they all lie. Nokia's just being honest. Charging to 100 destroys the battery.

Oh, and , it loses capacity with time, too.

are there any noticeable framedrops in applications when you keep the cpu at 500 mhz? for example in angry birds or the camera?

how big is the battery life-improvement (roughly in %)?

I haven't noticed any.

This depends. I'd even say it does not have much influence on battery life when playing Angry Birds, because it is not a CPU intensive application. In my optinion limiting the CPU speed only makes sense in a few cases:
  • when you are playing emulators
  • for overclocking on power kernels
  • when the device gets too hot

i currently have my phone overclocked with Titans kernel, I use qcpufreq to swap between the stock speeds and 1.15ghz, currently I am unable to switch back to 600mhz as there is no option.

I would like to ask if this is the best way to be altering my CPU speeds, I don't need my phone overclocked all th time hence I use this app but am i missing a beat by not changing the voltages etc as mentioned in this thread?

The changelog can be found in the package overview.

Could you please provide the output of this command:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
