Motorola Droid - Android v2.0.1 I've noticed on several occasions that the Browser seems to use a disproportionate amount of the battery (Settings->About Phone->Battery Use) - as much as 20-30%. This has occurred while the browser was in the background.
The common denominator in these events was that I had a page up produced by my company (http://justsignal.com/iphone/dbacks.html) - this is an iPhone viewport optimized web page running a JavaScript timed AJAX fetch using JQuery. My assumption was that when the browser went into the background it would stop all JavaScript processing (not just timers, but all processing). The exact JavaScript in question is: window.setInterval("pollJSUpdates()", 5000); The pollJSUpdates function does a JQuery AJAX request returning XML. Can someone confirm that when the browser is in the background JavaScript execution either continues or is paused?
