Bye SHR, hello QTMoko (and battery life)

[David Garabana Barro]

Hi

I've finally gave up with SHR. Around 2010 June-July, I had a mostly stable 
daily phone, rock solid gps, really great battery life (#1024 fixed, 3-4 days 
standby time), and I was very very happy. 

But since then, my sd card sttoped working realibly, my phone doesn't wake up 
from suspend, gps intermitently fails, and I cannot say about battery life, 
because it's almost impossible to last 1 day without a freeze...
In late 2011 I had a baby, and I left Neo unused for a while. I had no time to 
fight with so many problems. I was using a dumb phone as my daily phone, and 
giving all my time to my baby :)

Now I want to use FR again, and give qtmoko a chance.
I'm really surprised with the state of all functions. Almost everything works 
flawlessly, new theme is AMAZING, I can even use my own WPA2 home wifi. Last 
time I got it working with neo was with FDOM (LOOONG time ago). SD card works 
again (I'm booting qtmoko from sd card, so I can say it works completely 
stable).

I'm very happy... but with battery life. Usually I get only about 12 hours 
standby time, and many less if I use it a little.

My Neo is #1024 fixed, I have activated deep sleep both in neocontrol and in 
/opt/qtmoko/etc/default/Trolltech/Modem.conf [1]

I've read about http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket//2349, but it should be 
fixed in qtmoko's 2.6.34, isn't it?

Any clue on this?
Is this standby time normal for this version?
What is your standby time?


P.S. I have two brand new batteries, so you can discard a broken battery...
