Re: Unusually high battery drain+ leaked ROM

the main problem with that theory ive seen mentioned too is that e911 is only the a-gps portion, not the satellites and gps drivers. e911 location would function with or without the gps update, so turning it off shouldnt have any effect on the actual gps portion of the chipset

i hope the official ROM doesnt come out soon if this is any indication of how it is with a 4/23 build date which is only 2 weeks ago. theres clearly battery issues- i just got home and normally ill have 60-70 percent and i was at 20%, 9 hours off the charger and in standby with no use the whole time (ok checked VM for 30 secs), nothing running at all.

i agree with Ret's observation that the battery draw seems like gps isnt ever shutting down fully when you close out the gps programs using it causing it to always be active...

im just now wondering how far i need to change stuff. if its the ROM, PRI, or radio. i was running gpstest 2.1 with 3.35 titan and the older 1.x PRI and got my usual battery life and decent gps results.

anyone else seein battery drain? Could be the new radio is touchy between EVDO and 1x and flopping back and forth is killing the battery more than the older non-test radios
