Bye SHR, hello QTMoko (and battery life)

Hello Everyone,

My freerunner, usually last in suspend between one and two days,
depending on the weather (I think the quality of the GSM signal).

Anyway, a strange thinks happened. 
In the last few days my QtMoko lightning icon started saying 
number/0mA, where number is an integer reasonably representing the
consumption (negative if charging).

But the last suspend is always 0.

(Maybe, it started after the last update of the theme via apt, but I'm
not sure.)

Could it be due to the breaking of the soldering of #1024 fix?  I did
not check if the soldering is still there, but recently, a few times,
when exiting from the suspend, I see the "no network" and "searching
from network" icons.

Previously I had that value shown.
