Battery drain problem

[Continuities]

Hey all,

On a couple occasions now, my Diamond (Telus CDMA) has refused to wake up from standby. After a soft reboot (by pressing the little button under the back cover) I can see that the battery has drained very quickly. The phone is also noticeably warmer than usual. Seems like it's getting stuck in some sort of processing loop and burning battery while it's at it.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,

-Michael

Did you have bluetooth on and visible?

[Continuities]

Not at the time.
I've since purchased some bluetooth headphones and now have BT enabled, but I've not had this problem in a while.

I have a setting, which I do not know the purpose of, but I unchecked it.
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items -> Time-Out of Today
(I have a dutch TD, so the translation may be not exactly correct).

Could it be that the TD is automatically reset by this setting?

Maybe it is also because ActiveSync became active and is draining the battery?

This is a tip from someone else:

DISABLE ACTIVESYNC NOTIFICATION
===============================
When I start up the Touch, ActiveSync is running. I stop it, but sooner or later it will show up in the Tasks running again.
I did the ActiveSync Fake server Trick(Fake IP, Set schedules to Manual, etc..), but that didn't help.

Here is the Fix:
In the windows/activesync directory there is a file called “CtrlLog” file, in the file I noticed that at certain times it would say “KeepAwake” so I knew there had to be something trying to keep ActiveSync running.

I download an app called “Task Manager by FdcSoft”, cool little app for Free, it showed me all the processes running in the background. The one that caught my eye is a process called “repllog.exe”, because it had an ActiveSync icon next to it.

So just messing around with “Task Manager” I went to “Notifications” and noticed there were three “repllog.exe” in the notifications list towards the bottom. After disabling and enabling “repllog.exe” one by one, I believe the one that is causing ActiveSync to keep restarting itself is the “repllog.exe” that has an Argument named AppRunAfterTimeChange(must scroll to the right to see it). So I disabled that particular “repllog.exe” and did a Soft Reset.

I no longer see ActiveSync in the Task Manager list unless I connect to the PC using a USB cable.

You could try asynckiller, this little cab does the same thing...

I used also asynckiller, but that did not work for me.
Still Async came sometimes active and asynckiller did not stop this one.

No I do not use asynckiller anymore, but disabled the one mentioned in my previous post and the problems have not appeared again.
