Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Are you guys running Titan's kernel or Lehto's 125-900 kernel now ?

looks like dsp oc not doing much for flash type videos

the other ones did not work for me...

Maybe i'm stupid??:confused::confused: or missing something

Im using lehto's ones and flash from flasher3.5

I got my phone to 1ghz once with the app from app manager... then it just wouldnt work if I put some other values

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Is there someone who have made a comparison of the battery consumption hack? Do it save a lot of battery? Is it worth it? Does it also reset with the "call-bug"?

Hope titan get's it stable in his oc-hack... ;)

Mine's running at 1,2 Ghz lol
But dont wanna risk to run it 24/7. Just tested.

btw, can anyone browse this thread from their N900?? cannot see the latest pages even when zooming

Tips:

1. Look at the URL. Sometimes you can just add one to get to the next page or message.

2. If you have "first" as a choice, go to the first and choose last.

3. Go to the one mentioned in the top threads; that will usually get you to the last page. Then choose Prev to get the earlier one, etc.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
some info
when u flash the phone with a OC kernel from the phone
the about info is still there

booting time with 900MHz is about 4-5 sec faster than the one with 600MHz

I have switched to Titan's at 800. It seems to run better than Lehto's.

NokiaRocks 2010-04-08 02:06

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
But the 800 Mhz is not applied when booting. Is it ?

Then every casual user is going to clock his/her N900 to 1,5 Ghz.

with a "safe" range 600-1000mhz tops, and a custom kernel to control the level.

would be sweet!,

Hopefully not. Maybe evolution has given us a "caution gene". People who just blindly rush into risk tend to eliminate their species.

I think that the wise ones are like me; they take a good thing and are happy with it, rather than push for the max. However, if a few people push for the max and are willing to sacrifice, they are heroes, as long as there aren't too many of them.

I would be glad to know that 900 Mhz wont harm my lovely N900 :/

Yup, something like the one available on the Android. It support multiple devices and is able to auto-detect max frequency.

Plus, it has CPU Governor feature.
And also profiles for limiting the clock for different conditions (e.g. Charging, Standy, etc including FailSafe)

I would say this is a controlled OC.

The Android app is really well built and well thought out.

N900 may be the geekiest device made to date, but XDA forums and Droid users have a lot of techers that jumped on the clock issue and made apps for it (Android devices). Odd joint venture, given that XDA folks only deals with HTC devices.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Hi I have the following command in desktop widget

echo "echo 1000000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" | sudo gainroot

and set the options to "update when clicked"
and uncheck "update when switched to desktop"...
network presence: "when connected".....

this will set my cpu to 1ghz ONLY when I connect to the internet AND click it???

2/ any possibility to have multiple of those??

or a command which switches to 1ghz and ,say 800mhz, every time i click it.........cheers

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
I guess most of Letho's kernels are also affected by the "reset by phone call" issue (a phone call sets the range to 250-600MHz).
In particular the kernels with 125/250/... and the 250/500/625/720/900 should have
a minimum of 250 or maximum of 625 MHz after a phone call, respectively.
Could someone with such kernels tests it and post the output of
Code:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_*_freq*
before and after a phone call? thanks

My n900 went finely to 1.1 Ghz, at 1.2 it crashed instantly but 1.1 ran SuperTux.
Now it's at 1.0 Ghz and uptime is 7 hours.

yep iam running 1050mhz and 520mhz dsp and all is fine here , for now anyways

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
mine was good at 1ghz...... put 1.1ghz and it freezes and switches off.....
im better off leaving it on 900/500dsp for a few days...

125/900 kernel:

before:
Code:

900000
600000
125000

after a call the same output..

same here... same kernel

during a phone call, it goes from 900 - 500 - 250 and stays there

OK - so have there been any instances of damage or bricking caused by any of this overclocking yet?

Google is your friend, you will be surprised that here many people are "surprised" or "find it hard to accept" with OC, but actually many other similar devices have been OC for some time.

Here is still "fresh" from oven, unless someone hardcore maximizing the OC, possibly we might see some bad news. If you want to know, google and you can find out those devices that have OC for sometime, and what problems they're facing.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Andy - I'm asking specifically about the N900 and in this instance with these custom kernels. This thread is surely the best place in the world to get the most up to date knowledge on this subject (even better than Google believe it or not)

I don't need to Google "overclocking consequences" and do research. We all know the primary risk is that overclocking creates extra heat and this can damage components.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Can someone post video with OC N900 experience?

For me - I don't see *any big* difference between 600 and 800/900Mhz in terms of general GUI performance. I suspect that either my device is too loaded with apps/packages/widgets and thus the difference in speed change is negligible (i.e. it is too slow), or there are too *less* apps/packages/widgets and thus the speed change is negligible (i.e. it is too fast) :D.

Try running an emulator (e.g. vgba) or gl-tron (I think there is an option to show framerates).

after some tests I learned that:
1. phone call ring (outgoing) sets range [>=600,>=600]
2. during the phone call [250,>=600]
3. after the phone call [min,>=600]
>=600 means smallest available frequency >= 600MHz

so only with letho's 250/500/625/720/900 kernel you would see that
the max after the phone call is 625MHz. can anybody confirm that?
