all readings are captured at dim backlight.
Readings updated. Link to Readings - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=39192&page=6


When BT is On but not paired, my reading always is constant at 61mA. I have been observing just the Bluetooth today, paired with a Gennum 5000 earpiece. When paired, discharge hovers around 125mA. I have not seen it go over 300mA.

Over the last 8 hours, battery level has dropped to 45%, or 5.6% per hour. Doing the math, this is an average of 75mA additional draw per hour, which means the average indicated reading with Phone On, Data On, and BT on and paired is 61mA + 75mA=136mA. That is less that the 8% to 10% that I saw a few days ago. Perhaps after 10 days, the battery is better conditioned. Still monitoring. I hope to learn more and report because BT seems to draw way too much.
