Re: battery problem.. constantly over 300 mA discharge... Program to monitor battery

I had all night to mess with it since I work 3rd shift and I've come to the conclusion that what I am seeing may not be anything but an optical illusion. I've never had the 1% driver before. When I did a hard reset a few hours ago, my phone said it had 75% battery before the reset. After the hard reset and before anything was installed, the battery bar showed a full battery. Once I got the nuebattery program installed, I realized it wasn't until 70% that the OEM battery bar showed any drain or bars missing. So I think that maybe being able to see each percentage of drain is making me think its running down faster.

Also, with only nuebattery installed, I checked the battery drain and it was the same as with all of the other programs installed, approximately 200 mA. But...if you notice when you first launch "Power & Backlight" in the "All Settings" menu, the discharge is much lower. Thus making me think that the nuebattery program may be causing much of this discharge. And please don't get me wrong, this program is awesome, I'm just stating what I see. When I first open the program, it shows around 45 to 90 mA after a soft reset and having done nothing before, and then after a second or two it goes to 200+ mA.

Is there another program that I should try to verify this?
