Battery Lifetime

[Adam Talbot]

This is all with my FreeRunner.
144 hours, to be exact. Or, about 6 days of stand by time.  Something
like 4 hours of active talk time. Looks like you could get 8 days and 5
of talk, but I like every thing turned on. I have GPS running, but with
out an SD card ;-).  Currently using the built in APM for power
management. Keep in mind suspend/resume is unstable.  As I have seen
many times.  Still working on squashing the bugs. Currently do not have
a working SIM to test wake up on call.

Is there a way to stop the screen bumping issue?  Perhaps unload the
module that runs the touchscreen until there is a wake event (Auk key)?
