some info on the power collapse....

i have a seidio 2000mah battery. Left the phone fully charge last night at around 12:15AM. This morning at about 9:15AM power seemed to be at about 50% - the battery widget i have showed that the percent charged was bouncing from around 63% to 45%.

i started browsing ppcgeeks.com and noticed that the battery dipped way down while navigating pages - i would swap back to the home screen and notice that the widget reported a low of 18%. While i was watching it to see where it would bounce it actualy went back up to 53% and stabilized there, only going up or down by 1%. I went back to the browser and played some more - again the battery indicator dropped way down and again going back to the home screen i saw a low of 17% and then after about a few seconds it seemed to tabilize at a much higher value.

Related to the above, i tried to post this from my phone. i didn't have the patience to finish. Is there a way to disable the predicitve text thing that happens whhile you type? The phone was very slugish while typing. I'd wait for like 15-20 seconds before it caught up with me and then half of what i typed was what android thought i meant to type. I'm guessing that its realy taxing for android on this hardware to keep trying to figure out what you might be typing and then to show you what its guessing is the right word while you are typing. It can't keep up... maybe related to the phone being on for a long period of time?

Touch-screen.... seems to be better - i don't have to press as hard to unlock, just a simple swipe gets her done. Double/triple characters: It might be better, hard for me to say - the thing that android does with the predictive text is just throwing a wrench into typing in general... if i could turn that off I'd be really happy and then could focus on the real isues (2-3 character insertion).

About browsing... ppcgeelks.com realy tests the browser (related to the phone being on for 9 hours?)... Opera in WinMo 6.1 is a lot faster.

Wifi still works for me after updating with the 2/18 package. i didin't update everything, just the zimage and the modules.
