Re: i know why battery life sucks so much!

BT On and connected - I am already seeing this and expected it. After I continue monitoring with the Gennum 5000 for a few hours to determine the approximate discharge, I will pair with another earpiece to see if there is a measurable difference.

The idle draws include backlight at the lowest setting. With the backlight off, foxnews reports 13Ma. I do not have the utility installed to verify this, but was able to briefly observe the same when I turned device On from standby before readings were updated on the screen. If 13Ma is correct, the phone should go for 103 hours (1340/13) or 4.29 days in standby - with Phone On, Data On but inactive. It should go 78.8 hours (1340/17) or 3.28 days in standby - with Phone On, Data On but inactive and BT On but not paired. My ancecdotal evidence during the last week has shown that my device will go at least 3 days in a standby state with Phone On and BT off.

Wifi, I have found so far, is a wildcard. On my device, there is constant fluctuation with Wifi On but not connected - no lower than 283Ma.

I have installed by Diamond Tweaks and Advanced Config and applied their recommended settings. No individual Reg Edits.
