hi
I'm running my n900 @ 850 (load ideal) sometimes go up to 950 (kernel-congif limits 500 950)
This is al that i do in Xterminal an then go to work:P
But i keep reading about the voltage, i don't really get this, do i also have to set the voltage to a limit or something, i really don't get it!
btw, i don't really care about battery use, i'm almost always around a powerplant (230 volt/car etc)

Hi,
I am a newbie to this Linux and N900, I have had the phone since April but not tried too much on it, just some regular apps.

I want to overclock it now, however, since the warranty is void if I do so, is there anyway I could go back to the original and reinstate the warranty or will Nokia still know and warranty remains void?

Sorry for a stupid question but you know more if the overclocking will leave any residue for Nokia to pick up and void my warranty?

Thanks.
P Singh

Can anyone help me out? I can't load any kernels with Titan's Enhanced kernel without my n900 rebooting in less than 5 minutes.

Thanks

hi,
as you have been very helpful I though I'd ask you directly.

my previous question is on the last page and also does overclocking cause apps not to work. e.g. panucci was working fine but since the overclock isn't anymore.

regards,
p singh

I also have the same problem, every-time I try put on ideal; it immediately reboots.
The rest just reboot within minutes and when I try to set limits, it also just reboots.
Is something wrong with my chip?

I previously had Lehto's kernel flashed onto my phone but have since flashed to PR1.2 and was thinking that should have been removed upon flashing.

Am i missing something or is this just a textbook case of an individual CPU not being able to handle the lower voltages?

Did you try the lv8 kernel? and set limits to 250 805?

In both cases, "ideal" voltage profile might not be stable for your CPU as it uses very low voltages. Try "lv" or "ulv" voltage profiles instead of ideal. I have updated my guide so that people try lv profile if ideal is causing nstabilities.

Also, I will try to update my queen beecon widget section soon so that it utilizes the latest QBW version of 1.9.5 and the DBUS interactions. (which makes pressing the overclock widget to update the show frequency widget automatically as well without needing to press them separately)

Titan

A question for you (hope you still check this thread). I have been doing some battery life tests (sorry, don't have any output to share) with the stock kernel and your power kernel. What I have observed is that with SmarReflex ON (on VDD1), the stock kernel lasts much longer than your kernel (I have tried XLV and ideal. Haven't tested with starving yet), even when I turn SmartReflex on in yours. Is there any reason why that would be the case? I know that for you, as for many others, extra battery life is more important than overclocking per se, so it is maybe something worth looking into.
