This does look like an events/0 runaway - It can flatten a full battery in little more than anhour when it really gets going :( Its apparently fixed in latest kernels, but thats not an option for me at least - though with 2008.12, it happens a lot less. BillK On Wed, 2009-01-28 at 18:08 +0100,

I find this normal when doing the same. However, if notably warm/hot you may have an events/0 runaway - if you see events/0 eating between 30% and 60% cpu in top, you will have to reboot. Cause can be anything, but for me its most often something happens when using GPS. BillK On Wed, 2009-01-

Hi folks, I left Wifi and GPS on from about 07:00 until now (almost 14:00, so for 7 hours straight), and now my FreeRunner is quite warm to the touch. Is this something to worry about, and can I find out what's eating current (I've got it tied to the wall charger, so the battery won't go flat).
