I think what is happening is that the screen is turning off, but the device stays "on". I am going to disable s2u2 and/or gyrator and see if i get improved battery life. As it is right now it is just way too short, and as much as I love this set up I can't sacrifice battery life.

The reason I think this is happening is because i have observed (as you noted) that when the device locks by the screen blanking (like when placing face down), pressing the hardware keys will only light them up, but the screen will remain blanked. If the device is locked with the power button, then the hardware keys will turn the device back on like normal.

Also, if locking by turning off screen (ie placing face down), then applications like music and other programs that use the speaker will continue to run like normal, but if the top power button is pressed then those applications stop.

i did try going a day by only locking with the top power button, but I'm not sure it saved much battery (it looked a little bit better, but not sure). i think the hardware buttons kept getting pushed, though, and then the screen would eventually time out, but again, perhaps the device didn't turn off.

So it seems like this setup might only be turning off the screen and not the device, causing excessive battery drain (or maybe something else might be causing it, or maybe the battery life really is this terrible).

I seem to be having the exact same issues as you do with battery life.

I want to run these two programs along with IFonz to make my HTC Touch Pro have a slick IPhone like interface. However, when the battery drains like crazy it isn't worth it!
