Some comments: - Some submodules have an internal state that determines their power consumption while "on", ie, while we give them power. It is true for WLAN and I guess it is true for GSM and Bluetooth. So "ON" doesn't capture the situation in there because they can choose to run their radios or not for example and that will be dozens of mA difference. - Particularly Sameo was asking what he should do with Suspend on WLAN. I said that 99% of the time users do not want wake from WLAN, they want long suspend battery life. But sometimes, if users want to wake on an incoming VoIP call for example, they do need it and that should be an application or user setting. - "Normal Mode" has everything "ON". But in truth usually the user does not want to use every IO method at the same time. Maybe he didn't have any Bluetooth peripheral or he does not like to run a GPS device. So we should ultimately allow the user to select to not start support for the devices we have power control for (it should be done as whether the usermode /etc/init.d script is started or stopped). If he suddenly wants GPS because he is lost, well he can enable it. The rest of the time he gets better battery life. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHoyxEOjLpvpq7dMoRAmEWAKCVAx64oC7ZBUlLPkM6wG66H7UwVgCeIma1 De/3dKj67rBlmfca6X151Mk= =uj3M -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
