In the beginning of this thread, there were lots and lots of reasons listed why not to oc. I don't see how anyone can ask for more.
(They didn't convince me, but that's another story.)

I don't think it's for anyone to convince others about this.

Of course you would not oppose me for telling my opinion as well, right?
I for myself am looking forward to:
- the first Symbian^3 device (N8?)...
- the next Meego Phone (N920?)...
- The next Meego Tablet (???)...
... from Nokia this year
Best regards,
Corwin

From what I understand the problem with overclocking is the extra voltage fries the cpu (slowly from the overclocking experiences here)
Would it be possible to write an app to force a scale down if the cpu was overclocked for more than X cycles?
e.g. if it was stuck at say 800MHz for more than 0.5 sec then force the max to 600Mhz, once it calms down again put the max back to 800MHz.
(tuneable of course)
I am figuring that this would probably be better done as a kernel patch, and interact directly - otherwise the app itself could cause more cpu to be used if it is called every 0.1 sec, but maybe not?
Thoughts anyone?

Of course I can't oppose to that Corwin.
And, as a long-time-Nokia-fanboy I was, I can understand you perfectly.
Now, I'm considered a troll, and no, I will not buy Nokia again, but as you say, it's only a freedom matter.
You buy it, I buy it, so we can share our feelings without being blamed (as I was)
You don't need overclock, I need to do it... we must be free to choose. But, as you can see reading the "funny tags" added to this thread, if you don't "think Nokia" you're enemy-troll-stupid-******ed... yes, very nice comunity. Very nice admins and moderators.
But thanks, very pleasant talking with you. Regards.

Hi People. Firstly would like to say thanks to all the people who invest their time and effort into making all this happen and helping everyone. So thanks.
I'm having a problem setting the CPU clock speed permanently.
I used this to overclock to 1GHZ:
sudo gainroot
echo 1000000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
but how do I set it permanent? I don't understand this bit:
To permanently fix the limit edit the scaling_max_freq setting in /etc/pmconfig (using vi).
Sorry I know this must be a really silly question. Could someone write down the code if that's what it is? Thanks.
Also is this an alternative way to overclock or better than the first way that was introduced using the Maemo Flasher program?

Hey, has anyone tried playing Bounce Evolution at 1Ghz? Looks like some of the graphic elements become distorted (in some way) when I use that frequency -- big no-no, especially if it's a consequence of overclocking "too high." But I'm not sure if everyone experiences the same thing, or it's just my device (I've learned there's a "difference" in processor batches).
Playing it at 900Mhz seems fine, though. I'll try 950Mhz. If Bounce Evolution still works properly there, I'll stick to that. Or go back to 900Mhz because it's more stable.
(I'll try to post a screenshot so you can see what I mean by "distorted.")
Edit: Okay, so I can't duplicate the issue now. Instead, Bounce almost froze. (Almost kinda like the Brain Party type of freezing) But anyway, I'll just stick to 900Mhz for now...)

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:45.
EDIT:
Not trolling: I'm having random rep error (the maemo's system update ones!)
I can't see 1.2 update, but my Lehto OC deleted version etc, you know.
Can anyone tell us if something is happening? (non-oc, or titan-oc?)
Thanks.
