wtf, shutting off the screen causes battery to drain FASTER?!

[ericmcintire]

okay so I've been struggling with battery problems with my sprint touch pro 2 since day one. I've tried 3 different roms and I'm on my second device. wtf. Something I've noticed while using battlog is that when I press the button on top and the screen shuts off or when I let the screen shut off by itself, the mA drain actually goes UP! wtf? It'll go from 50-60ish to 160-200 and back down when I turn the screen back on... any ideas?

Something you have installed is likely the culprit. I tried out slide to unlock and teh power drain was so crazy it was mind boggling. Uninstalled it and back to normal which means I can go all day long listening to music, surfing, texting and still have over 50% left.

Try this registtry edit:
HKLM_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/Builtin/PollingInterval, change default to, dword=25000
this helped somewhat on the TP1 and helped me immensely on the TP2

I do not have the s2u2 and I can't seem to find that registry entry... are you sure that's the address? My battery actually died while writing this lol.

go into phone setting and make sure your not in "World" mode, only cdma.
