No, that's not what it means. The "normal" background behavior under iOS4 for an App is to go to sleep and wake up at the same point when you bring it back to the foreground, e.g by "restarting" it. These Apps are not actually running in the background, they just continue where you left them and they keep their data in memory - until you run into a low-memory condition with other apps and it really gets terminated by the OS. That's not what iPeng 1.2.7 did, though. 1.2.7 REALLY kept running in the background. It's supposed to do this whenever album/artist/genre data caching is incomplete because anything else can cause trouble with slow servers or big libraries however it never terminated that mode, even whenever cache syncing was long finished. This drained the battery a lot. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80940 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
