Hi,
With acbPowerMeter I looked at the power consumption of my Magician. Nothing extra has been installed, the SD card is out of the slot.
No today items are active. Just the bare OS and the telephone app,
nothing attached to the phone.
After a soft reset the power consumption is 108 mA (GSM radio on), without backlight even 60 mA.
But now comes the trick. When pressing the power button the device goes to sleep. acbPowerMeter is still running as an application.
When pressing the powerbutton again and lookin at acbPowerMeter it now consumes 200 mA and drops then to 144, but never 108 again. That is 40 mAmps down the drain. WTF!
It has been noticed with other devices that the wave device has a bug that is causing this.
And it sure looks like it.
I have placed the wav1: device in powerstate 4 by setting the value in key:
hklm\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ On
"wav1:"=dword:00000004
(like is default for the unattended state)
And then this phenomena does not occur but no sound of course.
Can anyone test it and confirm?
Thanks,
