Re: Unusually high battery drain+ leaked ROM

From a post of mine on 5/13:

Sprint - GPS/IGuidiance/Astro GPS/Confused
Okay, please don't flame, I tried searching and came up empty after about 6,000 pages of reading...

I am using the leaked Sprint ROM with IGuidiance, GPSGate and the Astro GPS hack.

Astro launches with Iguide, and I see GPS Gate fire right up. Quick locks, works great...

I have two questions...I was using GPS Viewer, which I used to manually shut down the GPS when I was done...It does not look to me like the GPS is shutting down after I close Iguide (I thought it was supposed to).

Also, tonight I used the GPS for a long trip (45+ minutes). Even though the phone was plugged in to the car charger, the battery was at 10%! Is the GPS draw that significant so as to negate the car charger??

Sorry for the questions and thanks for the help!!

<<<>>>

I was using an after market battery and thought that was the problem...
