Re: battery life with QtMoko
So this is how you suspend the phone, with manual lock :) I was thinking you use power button to suspend it. I don't want to lose 2 hours of suspend just because I talk 10 minutes with the screen on. Other applications, like chess and fbreader can block (?) screen dimming. As for autounlocking when receiving a call/sms, I think is a bad ideea, but I don't know what can be done without coding.

It's quite hard/impossible to set defaults so that everyone is happy. But any suggestions are welcome.

Re: battery life with QtMoko
I've started to keep NeoControl running all the time. With my deepsleep/fixed phone, on resume I see the current between 12000-24000 (2.6.34/qtmoko). With my old battery showing 857000 for current full, I guess it could sleep between 35 and 72 hours. The problem is that when active, the current is between 25-35, about 2.5-3.5 hours. If I keep the screen on (talking or not) for 20-30 minutes, which is not uncommon, I have no chance to use the phone the next day without charging it. This is with default settings, which are very dangerous: in power management, when not plugged, the policy for 'dim light' is off, for 'display off' is off and for 'suspend' is off. This means that any unnoticed sms or missed call will keep the screen on. I can change these settings, but it bothers me that any event will unlock the screen, the neo can make phone calls in my pocket or the touchscreen will stay active while walking with no chance to autosuspend.

I didn't make any precise measure but I can say that my neo after 32 hours is in (very) low battery, I only sent few messages (sms) and I used the gps for 5 minutes.

Do you have deep sleep enabled? Is your battery in good condition? I had 5 days - that was measured with 2.6.37 kernel - but that kernel had some bug for me which prevent from daily use (sometimes didnt wake or woken with vibrator on). I havent tried current 2.6.34 kernel. Regards Radek ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Deep sleep enabled and the battery seems to be in good condition. I use my moko as a daily phone so I can't make an accurate test for now. Five days is really good!
