don't know, enlighten me vi_

i have noticed at better battery usage (lower usage)

And my N900 is mega responsive

Smart reflex, the mega battery saving function that is unstable on some devices.

Some people report up to 1/3 batter battery life with it's use.

Is there somewhere where Users OC settings have been displayed like my battery thread, like the best results, im looking for the best OC for speed and response, and would like to see best OC for power saving

I can't immediately see a thread to that effect. Speaking only for myself (ymmv):

1) the "ideal" settings pretty much are exactly that. I can get away with a 1000MHz overclock, most of the time, but it all seems more stable at 900 or 950.

2) the "starving" settings appeared to work for me at first, but were the cause of incomprehensible errors when reading and writing to the SD card. These went away when I went back to "ideal", my device doesn't like the starving voltages when I ask it to do some work.

3) Enabling SmartReflex on both VDD1 and VDD2 seems to be good for battery life, but, it's not compatible with overclocking above 805Mhz. For me this seems to be an acceptable compromise, so, my default settings are the "ideal" profile with MAX=850 and VDD0=1, VDD1=1.

4) I presently have a "tablet mode" icon on my desktop which gives me a temporary boost to 1000MHz overclock and 3G radio mode when explicitly requested. This is undone next time the phone locks. I'm still working on better ways to run this and launch <insert application here>, but, it seems to be a good compromise to default to ideal voltages, SmartReflex, moderate overclocking but have a short-term boost for web browsing, etc.

anyone else have the problem with the minimum frequency resetting back to 125?

i set it @ 1000 fixed

min 1000
max 1000

i changed the frequencies in the kernel so there's only 2 freqs.

i noticed sometimes i go to xterm to show my kernel-config, the minimum freq is then reset'd to 125?

anyone know a solution for this?

I have a problem with overclocking,hope some one will help me out.
Whenever i give this commands

sudo gainroot
kernel-config load lv
kernel-config limits 250 850

I get the following feedback
/home/user # kernel-config load lv
loading /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/lv
warning: 700000 not supported
warning: 750000 not supported
/usr/sbin/kernel-config: shift: line 15: can't shift that many
/home/user # kernel-config limits 250 850
the limits were set to [250,850]
/home/user # kernel-config show
/usr/sbin/kernel-config: shift: line 352: can't shift that many
/home/user #

Also if i give the following commands:

kernel-config save myprofile1
kernel-config default myprofile1

I get this reply:
/home/user # kernel-config save myprofile1
/usr/sbin/kernel-config: shift: line 352: can't shift that many
/home/user # kernel-config default myprofile1
cp: cannot stat 'myprofile1': No such file or directory
defaults set to myprofile1
/home/user #
/home/user #


Though i overclock to 850 Mhz,it does not save if i reboot,it takes me back to defult settings.I have tried using the QCPUFRIG but it gives me the same result.

Hi, I've got same problem as Iyanyola, when I type "kernel-config load lv" I get
loading /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/lv
warning: 700000 not supported
warning: 750000 not supported
/usr/sbin/kernel-config: shift: line 15: can't shift that many

And when I type kernel-config limits 125 1000 I get
the limits were set to [125,1000]
/home/user # kernel-config show
/usr/sbin/kernel-config: shift: line 352: can't shift that many
/home/user

Does anybody know what to do with it?

Edit the lv profile and delete the 700000 and 750000 frequencies. Then, just add 720000 and save
DONE

I deleted problematic frequencies but it still didn't solve the shift problem. Because of shift error I can not load config.

Edit: I upgraded the kernel-config package and everything works fine now.
