I suggest using an app that will show which processes are running and how much memory/cpu is being used at any given time. That will show you what is going on. I suggest downloading ClearTemp if you haven't already. This app provides a link to show running tasks and processes plus it mainly will allow you to free up wasted storage memory by clearing temporary files. If you run it at least once a week it really helps to clean up things and will help your device run better. You can find it at www.mobisapienz.com

Re: Spinning wheel and loss of battery life
Thanks for the tip on Clear Temp... I loaded that and ran it to clear up some of the gunk.
I'm having trouble locating a good/reliable task manager though (for observing what process is creating the havoc). Do you have any suggestions? |

Re: Spinning wheel and loss of battery life
There's a pretty good one in the stock WinMo 6.1, but it's sort of burried in the \Windows\ folder. Look under "t" (TaskMgr) for this icon:

Good Call!
Opened that Task Manager and kept an eye on it for a while during a couple of the "episodes." Looks like Google Maps was doing something even though I didn't have it on. So I opened it, and Exited it properly (I had closed it forcefully a couple days ago). I guess that some process it started before I force-closed it was still messing with the system. |

Re: Spinning wheel and loss of battery life
Thanks for reporting problem result. Had similar troubles with Google Chrome browser on PC. Dump'd it for Firefox. On a side note, I see you have a VW heart. Me too. Pic's here:

Re: Spinning wheel and loss of battery life
Just so you know....
ClearTemp provides a link to that task manager. Just click on the right softkey (menu I think) then highlight links and select running programs. Then you click the right softkey again and select view and select processes. Sorry, I didn't explain that clearly earlier. |

Re: Spinning wheel and loss of battery life
Now I know too, and one way or the other, sdlucky7 got his fix. So it's all good.
What might not be so good is the ways of Google. Sometimes they're like Big Brother in the book '1984' by Orson Welles. I'm guessing the battery drain was caused by Google trying to see where sdlucky7's current location is, i.e. trying to get a GPS satellite lock or some such thing. |
