battery life with QtMoko

[Noel]

I've started to keep NeoControl running all the time. With my
deepsleep/fixed phone, on resume I see the current between 12000-24000
(2.6.34/qtmoko). With my old battery showing 857000 for current full,
I guess it could sleep between 35 and 72 hours. The problem is that
when active, the current is between 250000-350000, about 2.5-3.5
hours. If I keep the screen on (talking or not) for 20-30 minutes,
which is not uncommon, I have no chance to use the phone the next day
without charging it.

This is with default settings, which are very dangerous: in power
management, when not plugged, the policy for 'dim light' is off, for
'display off' is off and for 'suspend' is off. This means that any
unnoticed sms or missed call will keep the screen on. I can change
these settings, but it bothers me that any event will unlock the
screen, the neo can make phone calls in my pocket or the touchscreen
will stay active while walking with no chance to autosuspend.
