- Make a backup
- Reflash it to stock settings PR 1.3
- Order a Scud battery, use search button
- Stay off devel and testing repo's
- If you require the power kernel, see the wiki for optimised settings
- enjoy

Hi.

I'm still not sure if it's bettter to run 250/900 or 500/900.
The voltage of 500 Mhz is just slightly higher (30 and 33) for me, but it seems that the battery life is a good deal lower.
Is 500 Mhz so much more snappy for you or why are u using it ?

Power=Frequency*Voltage^2

that means the power use increase is exponential with respect to the voltage setting.

If you want total max battery to the max, set smart reflex to 1 and clock 250-805. (Smart reflex wont clock any higher than 805)

ok but i heard that smart reflex reboots the phone a couple of times? and setting the lowest to 250 and max to 805 will still be speedy? like will it feel like its overclocked and is fast? and will this be in the ideal settings?

See the second post - the one from JohnLF especially this bit:

Or is this thread going to turn into your WiFi problem where you just ignore the advice given to you and repeatedly open new posts with the exact same question?

You should learn to read. You read that some people reboot with smart reflex. Some people don't. I recently cut my max to 750 and added smart reflex with good results so far.

Ideal isn't ideal for everyone. If you want settings you don't have to think about or understand, don't overclock.
