Hm, there's probably something very wrong with your config, no? With GSM on in suspend it should last for 140 hrs and with off it should be even more. Hm, so basically your point is that CC allows current measurement in suspend. Ok, but if there're convenient TPs you can use your DMM to do the same as well. Also you can do that by connecting the device via DMM to a lab PSU or a pack of AA batteries. Moreover, there's quite a limited number of usecases (wrt power-management) so those who has some EE skills can do the measurements once and then share the info for everybody. Wolfgang, please consider making current measurement in suspend easy. :) -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
