Editing /etc/pmconfig and then rebooting is the recommended method.

If it crashes... well, SmartReflex works for some but makes some devices unstable. Likely the reason it isn't enabled by default...

im not saying Not to try smartflex but i when i got a reboot bug after enabling smartreflex, it ended up giving me a re-flash on my device.

im just so lucky to get that one, but that smartreflex works very well, i think it saved me another 50% of battery life IMHO.

Seriously, that is impossible. For a start, SmartReflex doesn't even have a visible impact in idle time -- it says so even in the official propaganda!

well the 50% is just my opinion, the basis is that i only have 10hrs heavy before the smartreflex,

after enabling smartrefelex, with the same use, same settings etc, it gave me 15hrs (including 2 unknown reboots)

the bad thing is, i have no battery eye, graph or health check installed at that moment, and its only what i notice and no technical explanations to support my basis, so it is not 100% absolute.

EDIT: the re-flash thing......yes it occurred, but seems like im the only one who experienced that. majority only got unexpected re-boots.

This is my batterygraph (graph lol). Smartreflex was enabled around 21:00 March 31 definitively.

I can definitely see battery improvement, you can also look at the slope angle.

The 4-5 days before that i was switching it on-off, playing with swappiness and other things that i cannot however precicely time.

PS: green is wifi connection, red is gprs/3g



PS2: I have only used echoing to set smartreflex, and have set vdd2 first as per the recommendation of a user on this forum (cant find the thread again).

I enabled SmartReflex with the pmconfig setting (and rebooting) a few weeks ago.
I set both vdd1 and vdd2 to 1.

It is rock stable and the battery life seems to have improved.
