Re: Re: I'm getting pissed off at my mobile phone

The very widget causing the problem

After monitoring what applications are using the battery I spotted com.motorola.home. After a little bit of research I learned that the power control widget is also in this application. That I was using. And which tries to use the GPS module in the phone for who knows what reason. You're inside a building? No GPS signal. The program will continue trying to get a GPS location. Why? Who knows.

I removed the widget. com.motorola home's battery usage went down to 2% from 12%. It's a bit ironic that a power control widget is draining your battery. And poor engineering. Very poor indeed!

I've ordered though my extended battery from Verizon. It is only 2mm thicker then the standard one, but provides 40-45% more power. Let's see how that works out! I talked to Verizon about the Gingerbread update and they told me, that they're rolling it out indeed, but per region and serial number. So it will take a while until it'll be available for me.
