hey guys, a quick question. I've overclocked my N900 several times before so this aint new to me, but i've never tried to use different voltage profiles before, like the lv, ulv etc......

so today i set to the LV profile, and set the limit range from 250~850 (following the instructions in Jakiman's guide).

After a reboot, all works well but my frequency is shown to be at 850Mhz........is that suppose to be right?? I thought it should be at 250Mhz and only go up to 850 if it is running processes or in high usage?? But i wasn't running anything and it's already set at 850Mhz......i can of course still set it to a lower frequency but i was wondering if this actually locks your phone to the max frequency?? If yes, then that's kinda no point for this??

I also tried to set the range from 250~300 and after a reboot, my frequency clock is at 300, so that sorta proved my comment above........is this suppose to be right?

If you run Conky or htop, what processes are on the top and which percentage do they have? Something is probably using your CPU...

I have the exact same issue, except half of my widgets don't show up and I can't change the theme. Help?

I'll add the bugfixes from the new PR1.3 kernel to the power kernel in the next few days.
None of them seem to be critical so it should be safe to continue using power37 on PR1.3.
Just make sure to reinstall kernel-power after the PR1.3 upgrade

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-flasher

@bulelet:
it's "sudo kernel-config", not kernerl (an Austrian word...).

Will it be the same commands to OC? I have desktop command widgets set up to different frequencies to OC with one click, will they need adjusting?

I'm running the code to reinstall and get 'reinstallation of kernel-power is not possible,it cannot be downloaded'

Any ideas on what could be causing the issue?

I didn't attempt any uninstall beforehand, just left as-is.

I uninstalled and then installed, and now I'm having a bunch of issues (posted above). What should I do?

Sudo won't work use "/usr/sbin/kernel-config" instead of sudo. Also don't just go "root" from xterminal on first opening use sudo gainroot.

Don't ask me why the above works, it just does. My N900 is running at 1000 MHz quiten happily with what we are calling PR 1.3.
