[Bug 1372413] Re: Extensive battery drain on RTM

 

1 - For the wifi driver there is really not much to do, also an issue
with Android and it seems to be in the latest kernel tree from google as
well (need to properly check with krillin to see if a similar issue can
be found in there).

  Extensive battery drain on RTM

Bug description:
  Mako, RTM 1

  Since upgrading to RTM the battery life is really poor. What used to
  be a battery drain of 5-10% per hour (which is still high) is now
  10-15% per hour. Sometimes the phone runs really hot, so there seem to
  be something going on in the background that is consuming power. I
  mostly have bluetooth, GPS (which isn't always working), wifi and
  cellular on, but that's no difference from when I was running 'devel-
  proposed' with MultiROM with much less battery consumption.

  As an example, I started with a full charge at 7am. After some web
  surfing (<15 mins) and watching a couple of youtube videos (on wifi)
  battery was down to 66% at 9:15. That's 34% in just over two hours! I
  recharged again before lunch and had the phone idle until coming back
  1 hour and 45 mins later to find only 75% of battery left, this time
  without the phone running particularly hot.
