Battery Drain and Wifi problem

[dhanamjay]

I have battery drain issue when I use wi-fi for few min and then turn it off. After this the battery drains crazy but if I never turned on Wifi battery drain is normal.

Another issue is when Today Touch plugin's weather is updated by Wifi then it won't update with Active Sync connection?

Did anybody see these problems? Anybody has solutions?

I probably cannot help you other than to remind you that the gurus here will need more information so that they can help you. What device do you have, what ROM, what programs you've installed, etc. Also, these issues have been discussed numerous times with various ROMS, so searching will probably yield a great deal of information. Good luck.

My device is on XDAR2a release. Touch stuff and that is all nothing fancy. I am sure we are all talking about HTC wizard/cingular 8125.

Wifi always takes alot of battery, make sure it's off, and also turn off incoming beam option in setting.

if you're reading the drain info from a program like batterystatus...give it some time after you turn off wifi for the information to refresh. wifi has a large drain on the battery...so it just might be residual information.
