[Q] How can I put the Touchpad to sleep?

---

Is there anyway to put the Touchpad to sleep?

The battery is drain 5 to 10% just sitting there with screen shut.

Thanks.

You aren't giving a whole lot of context with your post. 5-10% per....? Hour? Day? Minute?

Mine came to work with me and wasn't plugged in. 10 hours later when I got home I was still at 85% battery. Not fantastic, but certainly tolerable.

Sent from my T7575 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Sorry. 5 to 10% per hour.

So is there a way to put it to sleep? I fully charged it the other day, was gone for two days and it completely drained when I checked just now. iPad is at 70% since I last used it 3 weeks ago.

I would say that's definitely not normal. Did you make any changes to govnah? I'm using the Warthog kernel at 1.7ghz and left my TP in my bag all day at work. Total of 14 hours away from a charger and was still at 95% battery this evening.

Are you near WiFi where it's checking email or other apps that check for updates?

5 - 10% per hour is not normal. I've been using my touchpad since I came home from work so approximately 6 hours. It was on the charger, turned off before I came home. I have applied the kill logging patches, and all the common speed up patches, and am running the latest F4 Phantom kernel that was released today with an OC to 1.728 GHz. My WiFi is always on but my BT is not. My battery dropped 14% over that time period, or just over 2% an hour (with irregular use, not just sitting there).

Have you done all the patches in Preware and what not?

this is exactly why I wished we had a program that could read battery consumption

i have applied the common patches in preware but not overclocked.

my TP is now lying the 2nd day on my desktop with no app running and in standby. just looked and it shows still 100% (that might not be true, will be smth. >90% imho).

the problem is: what is running on your touchpad? when you have twitter/facebook and stuff running its like pn the smartphones draining your battery.
and when you use it all time the touchscreen needs alot battery, too.

have you tried changing the wifi sleep settings in the WiFi settings panel?
there's two options for it:
keeping it on all the time (even when the screen is off)
turn it off when the screen sleeps

I've found that setting it to the latter improves battery life
could be the solution to your woes,

wow that sounds amazing! i'm a very new webOS user (since yesterday), would you mind sharing all the patches and tell me exactly what and how to do everything that you did to get such great results?

much appreciated thanks!
