Re: Dying battery
The workaround is imperfect apparently. I also dont think 2008.8/9/12 has it as I only saw framework based distros doing it. Perhaps someone could confirm that 2008.12 has the workaround - or not? Also, events/0 runaway can cause a battery to drain very quickly. I am also suspecting gsm of excessive current after being used and turned off in 2008.12.

Maybe it could use updating... I think that's a userspace work around to issue: AT%SLEEP=2 to the modem, not a kernel fix. There is a parameter to control this in /etc/frameworkd.conf but I think SHR applies it by default. There is a section that should look something like this: [ogsmd] modemtype = ti_calypso ti_calypso_deep_sleep = never The second parameter controls whether ogsmd uses the AT%SLEEP=2 workaround permanently (deep_sleep = never) or if it uses it only when it detects #1024 type behaviour (deep_sleep = auto? check the source...) In FSO the autodetection is default (parameter not present in config), but I think SHR adds the parameter to their config file. I don't think this is the problem though. I have seen this happen while using the parameter above, and with debug logging of frameworkd enabled to confirm #1024 wasn't happening. I suspect either incorrect battery level indication in the GUI, some runaway process eating CPU, or some other cause of power hogging. Sadly I haven't been able to track it down yet. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Dying battery
OK, I just don't get how this can be... Why is it that I can have my phone in my pocket all day, I don't touch it, and when I check it, it has 3/4 of the battery monitor still; and then an hour later it's dead? Can someone explain this to me please? It's completely illogical to me. -- Thanks, The Digital Pioneer ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
