Hey,

I am max at 850 using the ideal setting. Works flawlessly so far. The conversation dialogs loads much faster and the system responds quicker when I hit the message.

Yes, and from what ive read and from my own tests there is little if any advantage to using any of the others (at least untill we have the ability to avoid freqs and adjust the sample rate and up threshold)
Afaik there is no way to monitor the cpu freqs in real time as it is just too fast.

Hey, ive just overclocked the phone.
SUPER fast, SUPER happy !
they should SELL the phone with this setting!
it seems flawless!
at 600, it used to lag when i used microb and ive got an sms or im..
sound comes 1st and then the msg lol!
loving it so far!
i wish they could fix the frame rate issue though !
if ANYONE can fix the frame rate issue of the scrolling/ panoramic desktop switching (i know its not much for the panoramic desktop..but still, perfect fps shows the quality of the phone)
if anyone could fix this final problem, this phone is PERFECT!

I am still using the ideal mode (max @850). Over 1 Ghz seems a bit dangerous waters for me

Are there any 250-900 users around testing different voltages? What are your observations, performance wise at the limits and battery usage?

I'm using this settings : just upped the voltages a bit cause it wasn't stable with the standard starving config

# tonism starving undervolt configuration
# minimum frequency to use
MINFREQ=250
# maximum frequency to use
MAXFREQ=900

i got a considerable pocket heat last day on my n900.

i was at work, it was in stock kernel (600/250mhz). for some reason, i notice a straight 1-2hours of 100% cpu usage.

then after a few moments, our I.T. told me that out work e-mail (outlook) is down, which is synced on my n900.

the n900 might be trying in hours syncing with a server that is not responding, will this may be the reason of the pocket heat? or there may also be, other reasons?

Something is definitely wrong with your measurements. Idle state should not take so much. I got 20-30 measuring it personally.

But you should give a reasonable time to settle before you start looking into BQ values. I used to wait 10secs after I locked N900 before script got values. And I got 20-30 and that doesn't depend from VDD1 (CPU voltage) but from VDD2 (peripheral devices voltage).

hmm...my phone ran amazingly fast on ideal for around 8 to 9 hours..then it got back to the lazy laggy 600 mhz feel, but conky showed 850 mhz :S!
help?
