Battery Drain = Bluetooth YMMV.

On my setup, its 150 - 200 mA all by itself. I finally found a battery monitor that worked (tBattery wasn't giving me all the info...) After turning off my headset all the drain went away. I did not have to turn off the BT radio, but I has to shut down the headset.

I have always had a problem on NRG roms where the button on my headset wouldn't hang up and I had to use the phone buttons to actually hang up. Apparently some other channel is hanging open as well.

I will search around to look for better BT settings -anybody have a good place to start before I do?

Off to bed now...

More info:

While the current drain dropped dramatically for a while after shutting the headset down, it did creep back up to 250 - 300 until I turned off BT. Now it seems to run from 59 - 100 mA until it spikes up to do something. I don't know what "normal" is, but this seems better.

So now, I am sitting at my desk with it plugged in USB and the phone in USB drive mode. The screen is dim but on. The Batt is at 96%, the charge current is 176mA and the drain is 184mA. WTF?

Swapped to ActiveSync mode - same numbers.

Swapped to a cable rated for USB 2.0 = charging current jumped to 431 mA! Who'd a thunk it...

Swapped to HTC AC adapter on USB 2.0 cable = charging jumped to 770 mA but then dropped down to around 460 (probably because the batt is close to full...)

So; learned a bit about cables today, but still searching for an answer on the BT issues...

Thanks for this.

However, if I use cities from this file, weather can't download data anymore. If i remove those locations it downloads fine again. I had the exact symptom once before on an earlier build (I had used the city editor app) and i just deleted my location out. I wound up re-flashing before I ever figured it out...

Great info... Thanks

btw - what battery monitor are you using?

I found this link titled "BATTERY DRAIN SLOVED"

Can't say for sure but someone might want to run some test.

I've been building computers when you were in diapers if not before then depending on your ages. I think i can tell the difference of whats memory and whats not. And you can address me as she not he please.

My apologies for making a lame assumption and calling you 'he'! My bad indeed.

If you were building computers when I was in diapers, then I either have a very odd fetish, or you were working for IBM back in the 60's!!

I think your claimed free memory is so far off what anyone else in this forum has experienced, that it doesn't seem even remotely possible. I suspect most of us have never seen 50% free after a fresh install with nothing added, so 80% free just seems preposterous. If true, we'd all love to have your secret.

I have been getting a lot of those lately with the same ROMs, not sure the who or what but as of right now it is doing exactly the same as yours.

They are down for maintenance right now....

I flashed the cookie monster WM 6.5.x last night and I too have the battery drain problem as well as some weird lags, freezing up.

Methinks i'm gonna go back to feb. 7th for now.
