so this works and increases battery life by 50% yet no1 has decided to create an app and the only graph shows that there isn't much change, could I be more confused?

wow good one!

i change mine by.....uh.....echo -n 1 /sys/power/sr_vdd1_autocomp same in vdd2.

after 3 re-boots comes the problem that a re-flash is needed

and now im afraid to do that again, well if a pro will guarantee that it wont happen again if i re-enable smartreflex, maybe i'll give it another try.

You missed the part(s) that said IT DOES NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE. Also I haven't seen anyone do any battery life comparisons that would be statistically valid.

To anybody, who doesn't see SmartReflex effect -

if you use 'echo' command, please put a space between digit 1 and sign '>'.

Or just enclose digit 1 in double quotes like "1"

Reason: shell uses a combination 1> differently if you haven't space in between. You can verify the effect by

cat /sys/power/sr_vdd1_autocomp

The -n flag makes echo not print a newline after the string.

YMMV...
The newline is handled properly by kernel, don't worry.

This thread would have been more useful as a poll, gathering information about which users implemented this and had issues vs had no issues..

Perhaps editing the pmconfig is more stable than the echo commands.

Anybody knows what the two individual SmartReflex properties are good for? There is some infornation what it does in general, but why are there two properties? Would it make sense to turn on just one of them? (This could be an option for those who have issues with both of the properties on) ...
