RE: [Gamedevlists-brew] Power issues on phones

[Paul Z. <pa...@bl...>]

Come to think of it-- I have a 4400 for my personal use, and I always
figured its batteries were just shot, the way it sucks thru them. But
sometimes it lasts forever.. and if I think about it, that may
correspond with not running any BREW applications.

Perhaps the BREW core leaves something running (eating CPU and therefore
batteries) once it gets run the first time. I bet if you ran an
application, and then turned off the phone and back on, it wouldn't
drain rapidly.

Funny you should say that...

I have observed similar behavior on the CDM-8900 for some time but never

really paid much attention to it. It was more down the line of a phone
that=20
I thought was charged suddenly displayed only one battery bar left and
the=20
only thing I remebered doing was run my apps on there for e few minutes=20
and/or did one or two phone calls. Nothing that should normally suck the

battery emtpry like this. This happened to me on a few occasions but I
never=20
investigated it, always blaming it on my being too stupid to really
charge=20
the phone.

Yes, Paul, that is exactly what happens.  If you reset the phone, it stops
draining.  We are now testing to see if it's a particular kind of app that
causes the drain, or if its just BREW in general.

P.S. Lets keep this secret so NSTL doesn't start testing for it.
