I have no idea why the telephone app does that.
I'll check whether replacing 600 with 601MHz will ignore such requests.
(a frequency that does not exist in scaling_available_frequencies should be ignored)

No extra voltage. N900 runs at MAX voltage at stock 600MHz and I don't know the way to increase it more.

Ive been using the 125-900 kernel and had NO issues with it.
It has always been using 125 Mhz when idling and 500-900 when used.
Tried Titan's kernel now and the battery life seems to be a good piece shorter with 250-900 IMHO.

If start discussing kernel changes then I think it has a BIG sense to stop any overclocking if screen is locked. Moreover, it may have sense to restrict frequency and voltage even more - it would save much more battery.

Of course, if pulseaudio is active it should return back to 600MHz.

i have use the 125-800 kernel and what i suddenly see is that syslogd logs enormous amount of data.
I really have to stop the daemon now because else it fills up flash in no time.

When I charge my nokia in the evening, enable ICQ and go to sleep, in case of 125-1200 (scaling up to 900) the line in BatteryGraph is much steeper than in the second case ...
See my post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1406 for explanations.

Both - depends from chip design.

Flandry, this N900 works on highest CPU voltage with 600MHz anyway. There is no way to increase it even more for higher frequencies (at least I don't know).
