Anyhow, all is well...Thanks for all your efforts!
I really like that idea. Not sure about others... but I feel as if we could block updates, it'll save a lotta Pres. The "DON'T UPDATE WITH OVERCLOCK PATCH" rule is a largely unknown rule... so anything we can do to get people to ask why their phone doesn't have the newest version of webOS is a plus in my book.

There's really not that many variables involved, right?
The MAIN variable is heat. If you can control it, you should have no problem.
Ways to control heat...
- Use Jason's 45 deg Celsius patch.
- Do NOT follow thru with an OTA update while [forgetting that] the patch is installed.
- Maybe don't use Touchstone?
- Etcetera.
These things should be in the OP. And xanthinealkaloid's suggestion should be highly considered.
I really feel as if the reason that the Pre isn't clocked, stock, at 600+ MHz is because of OTA updates and Touchstones. They had to have had a reason not to even go for 600, and those two things MUST be the reasons.

I am using google maps, and when trying to find "me" I receive a notice "Your current location is unavaliable" "We cannot determine your current location". Am I the only one with this issue? I know I was able to use this feature earlier yesterday (I installed the patch last night) and I did not install any additional patches. Does anybody have advice? I really do not want to uninstall this patch, but I am afraid I have become too reliant on google maps to live without it.
Update: When I turn off "Use Google Services" Under the Location Services Preferences I am able to get an approximate location, however that location has a half mile diameter. This has to be some sort of software issue, I am using a Sprint Palm Pre.
It's a firmware issue.. the software that's installed in ROM (read-only memory). Sprint, Verizon, etc. did that to you on purpose so that you can't use your phone without 3G service.
The solution is here:

Then again, it could be that a defective Pre fried my previous battery. What are the range of values you guys are getting for current (mA) and voltage (mV) according to the battery monitor app? (with the 720 MHz mod).
Li-Ions require a specific type of "break-in" to achieve optimum longevity.
That type of break-in is: MAX CHARGE & MAX DISCHARGE TIMES THREE. Then, keep battery topped off as often as possible. This is only for Li-Ion batteries, which is most everything sold as of today.
Many, many things require break-in -- batteries, processors (as caj has experienced with his suggestion of letting things "equilibriate"), engines, air compressors, headphones, speakers, & even women.
