[Q] battery lasts 3hours on a full charge. and thats 1h use 2h sleep.

---

this is something i would have liked to know before hand. is there any way to significantly increase it, say 5h ? i had to add the command line arguments to startup.txt thus disabling the power saving feature (waiting for sd card) otherwise the device would randomly freeze. also the sound volume regularly goes up and down slightly, and the speakerphone doesnt work. it feels like the power is leaking --; i m using FRX07.1 and this is my first successful installation. my previous attempts did not work because i had 6Gb of music being indexed at startup, and it felt like the xdandroid logo would never stop looping. why is it that we have to stare at a logo for minutes when we could see that indexing or loading activity whatever it is, in verbose ?

I don't think any indexing happens during the boot animation - but I could be wrong. However, the type of stuff you'd like to know wouldn't be in any kernel messages, so you wouldn't "see" it anyways.

3 hours on a full charge sounds like either a bad battery, or a phone that wasn't sleeping (at all). If you killed the battery process or have processes running in the background, have GPS on, etc - it will kill your battery, and quickly. If the device isn't sleeping properly, it'll never be able to run for more than a few hours.

ok i ll try making sure the gps is off --; i also installed the overclock widget and downclocked during sleep mode
