echo 1 > /sys/power/sr_vdd2_autocomp
You can also enable it by editing /etc/pmconfig and changing the appropriate
values to 1, and rebooting.

I've been logged in to my wifi accounts for 10+ hours now, with GPS on, and the
battery is only down by about 1/3.

Some power saving can also be achieved by setting your status to be offline and
disabling networking.

Hiya bsm117532,

Mate I tried to edit this in midnight commander, when I go to save I get a "cannot save file" dialog box, even when I try to save as with a different name . . .

Any other method to edit and save this file ?

btw I am only editing the value of vdd1, as this is stable and the benefits of testing thus far has doubled my battery life !

thnx in advance !
