Does this mean that the Pandora runs at OPP5 when cranked up to 900MHZ now?

It runs at the max TI specs so a lot of people might see 1Ghz now. Note that in theory you lower the life of the Chip to 5 years with this.

Sweetdiculous!

I'm assuming this also voids warranty, right?

No, not when kept within TI specs. I'm sure ed can comment if it allows you to go out of spec, but AFAIK we decided it just went to the maximum and no further.

 

[wraggster]

900mhz is still damn fast, better to keep the life of the pandora as long as poss than to overclock too much and shorten the life of the handheld

 

[sverm]

Not if the warranty is less than 5 years ;-)


</unofficial statement>

 

[EvilDragon]

Out of the box, it's limited to OPP3 still, so no difference.


But the max limit can be set in userspace.


I'm planning some tweak tool where you can set the maximum OPP level, maximum allowed CPU speed, etc.


It will display a warning that it will reduce the lifetime of the CPU, etc.

Is the timezone bug also fixed in this HF? (where the timezone files were missing and you had to download those and than symlink them? )

Wasn't that already fixed with HF3? Thought so, but yeah, timezone files are all in there.

 

[Bosbeetle]

No not yet with HF3, great work on the fixes though when is this one going to go out of beta?

Probably with the next release.

Hi ED I installed this last night and it fixes the wifi leds after standby, or reconnect/toggling (largely redundant). However the date time issue. If you change date time,it does now work but blackscreens until a button press, after which the time updates. It sadly still gains 30 mins after being in standby mode though. This is repeatable.


All good otherwise!

So, assuming this is not hotfix specific, can you start a thread in the support section with details and we can see if it is repeatable for anyone else, then close in and fix it. I have observed non-repeatable clock jumps, but only rarely.

Sure. I was only raising what I had experienced for such purposes. In addition I can no longer bring up a ´kill app´ dialog box with the Pandora button.


This may have been due to deliberate choices I missed and may also have resulted from HF4b1 but I had not noticed, as hadn´t needed it for awhile.

 

[HackModford]

I've never been able to do anything with the pandora button in the desktop gui mode...


Also the hotfix installed for me... no problems, but I haven't used my pandora heavily today...


For some reason my pandora refuses to keep time... :rolleyes:

 

[tsh]

The kill dialogue seems broken by /etc/pandora/conf/eventmap which calls the menu script after 1 sec, yet the script uses greater than 2 as a threshold. Changing the 1 for a 3 and restarting the daemon fixes it for me.

Hey! that happens to mine too. Now I have to set time each time I turn it on <_<

 

[CapcomSuicide]

Hotfix install went well. i like having the progress bar.


holding the pandora button doesnt start the task killer anymore. setting the time caused a black screen, but moving the mouse brought the desktop back.


wifi remains stable for me, posting from my handy pandy.
