Vlad,

vasvlad,

could I somehow help you investigate battery draining in mapplicationext by caused applet for standby screen and lps (I reported this issue earlier)? I like your application very much, but unfortunately was forced to turn applet off due to this drain, so is there anything that I could do investigate the issue and help you to fix it?

Thanks.

Are you sure that the MeeCast applet eats battery?
I'm ready to fix it, but I need a testing methodology (step by step) for testing the issue.

Vlad.

Thanks Vlad!

More money coming your way I know this may complicate things, but has radar been discussed for implementation on Meecast anytime? I use weather.com for my data, and they have a nice "weather in motion" radar screen on their website. Once again thank you!

Whether it does only for me or for everyone is a still open question, but on my N9 device I tried this 2 times with the same result:
- Without applet enabled I always have idle power consumption around 4-6mA
- Top consumers vary, among longest running processes in conky I see pulseaudio, dbus-daemon, lpsmagic and smartsearch

- After I enable applet (with installation) my idle power consumption rises to 8-10mA
- The top consumer is always "Device idle"
- The longest running process is always "mapplicationext"
- I did this 2 times, 1st time I used applet for a 2 weeks at least with usual charges, reboots etc., 2nd time I let it live for a week (3 charges and 1 reboot at least)
- After I uninstalling applet everything returns to normal values for my phone.

I don't know how to connect this "mapplicationext" rise to your applet and how to understand what is going on. If you know any tools for monitoring such kind of things - please advice, I will run it on my phone and provide you with info. If you have some activity logging in your applet - I may turn it on and send you logs etc.

I can confirm the idle consumption. After i disabled both widgets, my idle went down from 13-14 to 3-4

did not investigate the reasons in terminal top

3-4, are u kidding?

Not kidding actually.

What tools did you use for testing?
I just used Energy Profiler and I didn't find any difference in the behavior with disabling and enabling applet on the device.

Vlad.

battery usage app. Will turn the widgets back after next recharge and will tell ya what i notice
