Ok..I've realized battery status is not an accurate measure of battery draw...plug it into the adaptor...it shows +128ma..unplug it drops the plus... 2 seconds before it was showing 308ma....so my question is

1) What can I use to get an accurate reading of how much current my phone is using when idle, when bluetooth is enabled, when internet sharing is enabled etc.
2) What is YOUR wizard type phone drawing when idle, when bluetooth is enabled and when internet sharing is enabled?

My model as my signature indicates is the Tmobile MDA (MDA Vario). On my most recent flash I installed the tmobile 2.26 rom first then flashed the new rom so I should not have ANY extended rom corruption.

I use the BatteryTimePlus today plugin and I find it to give the most accurate battery draw with any rom. The only issue I have with it is sometimes when you rotate the screen the today image on that area of it wont refresh. other then that I love it

Try acbpowermeter, it's great! just keep it running in the background.
