<h1>QCPUFreq Help</h1>
-This application allows you to lower your maximum CPU speed.
+This application allows you to adjust your maximum CPU speed.
<br><br>
-This might be useful for some applications (like emulators), which cause your CPU to always run at full speed when it is really not required. You can save quite a lot of battery power if you use such applications frequently. Please note that you won't always be able to save battery power!
+This enables you to overclock your CPU easily (only on power kernel), but of course you can also underclock the CPU if desired. Underclocking might save some battery power if you are running applications like emulators, which cause your CPU to always run at full speed when it is really not required. Please note that lowering the maximum CPU frequency does not always save battery power and is not always the best choice!

-IMPORTANT:
+<strong>Notes:</strong>
<ul>
- <li>Changes are <strong>NON-permanent</strong><br>
- If you want to change your CPU frequency or SmartReflex™ settings permanently, you need to edit /etc/pmconfig. Only edit this file if you know what you are doing!
+ <li>Changes are lost after:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Rebooting the device</li>
+ <li>Making or receiving a call</li>
+ </ul>
</li>
- <li>After unplugging the charger from your device the CPU will always use the full maximum speed setting. Use QCPUFreq after charging for lowering the speed again!</li>
+ <li>If you want to change your CPU frequency or SmartReflex™ settings permanently, you need to edit <em>/etc/pmconfig</em>. Only edit this file if you know what you are doing! </li>
+ <li>When the current CPU frequency setting is equal to the minimum CPU frequency the kernel might use the next frequency scaling step as the maximum frequency. For instance, if you set your maximum frequency to 250MHz the kernel will actually use 500MHz as the maximum frequency. This is a kernel problem.</li>
<li>SmartReflex™ is known to be unstable on some devices and may cause random reboots.</li>
- <li>Starting with PR 1.2, Nokia has disabled "VDD2 SR" in order to make the device more stable. This is why QCPUFreq only enables VDD1 SmartReflex™ on newer firmwares.</li>
- <li>The value of the CPU temperature might sometimes be "0". This is actually a kernel problem and not a bug in QCPUFreq.</li>
-</ul>
+ <li>The CPU temperature can be inaccurate.</li>
+ <li>The value of the CPU temperature might sometimes be "Unknown". This is yet another kernel problem and not a bug in QCPUFreq.</li>
