With your expertise and all, would you mind explaining as to why I should leave dsp overclocking for higher frequencies like knobby when it actually works on my device at low? I even had 600/600, perfectly stable, but didn't see much of a difference with 520, so lowered back.

Thanks in advance.

Voltages below 20 seems to be problematic when device is waked with side switch. Sometimes it wake -up OK, but time to time nothing happens on screen and 32k WD kick-in causing reboot. Also if side switch is pulled several times (display on & off) then this is also causing reboot.

Otherwise 125:12,90 is OK if you won't let it go sleep/deep-sleep or what it is doing when display is off.

EDIT: Verified with 2 devices. No matter if SR is enable or not.
Hey, let's remain on the sane side of the Force. If voltages below 20 result in problems while unlocking, I just imagine what may happen during more demanding (instant big differences in current) situations.

I'm also not 100% sure about risk of filesystem corruption because of "sneaky" undervoltage (one that doesn't result in reboots, but may result in CPU calculating with errors), but I do believe, that I encountered it once, long time ago. Despite being careful with things I install, many things started to act bizarrely, or just get plain broken, and it was getting worse over time. I was using so-called "ideal" undervolting profiles - without random reboots - and it was one and only time, when I had to reflash - after that, installing the same packages etc, but using custom profile with much higher voltages, I *never* encountered such problems again.

So, as I've said - I can't be 100% sure, but it seems to me that it isn't urban legend. Saving battery life is cool, but lets don't get over-excited with it, and remain in sane, 150% stable values, +1 value up, just in case

seems stable for me with 250-900 with SR enabled.
Could someone explain how the initial votages used - eg starving profile or ulv etc etc) will effect the smart reflex? cause my ideas on SR is that it intelligently adjusts the voltage? thanks in advance

@freemangordon

I've successfully enabled/used 720p in the very beginning of the announcement, all was fine, just battery started to drain too fast (~10-12 hours max with moderate use). Therefore I restore my previous kp48 and everything was fine, but without 720p of course.
I can see that you've managed to fix SR, so it suppose to save some battery while kp49 + 720p, so I decide to try again with 720p/kp49.
I can see everything playing fine. I'm still measuring my battery duration, but I'm optimistic.

I want to help you, so this become a stable change, here are some info that could be in use for you. Let me know if you need more info, I would be glad to share or test anything. I've tried playing 720p content @500 and @805, both played ok:

Надявам се някой ден да те почерпя няколко бири (или каквото пиеш) някъде в София. Безспорно си заслужил.

За пръв път чувствам задоволство когато чета мнение в този форум.Иначе да безпорно freemangordon заслужава много повече от бира а и мисля че той има най-важното което човек иска да притежава нашето уважение

*edit* , i see on the kp49 from 1st november that no bridgedriver is supplied in kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-10power49_armel.deb so is this new addition needed for my 720p ?
sorry to bump my post up but @freemangordan could you explain which bridgedriver ?
