That may be the app, but it's probably also the always-on GPS and
always-active data connection.<br>
<br>
You'll see the same thing under WinMo with APRSISCE/32. And if you
have Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, and a busy data connection, the phone can
almost get too hot to handle. Oh, and battery life under that level
of full load is about 1 hour. Drop the BT and WiFi, but keep the
GPS and data, and you can get 2-3 hours monitoring 200 mile radius
via APRS-IS. Drop the GPS and you're up to about 6 hours of APRS-IS
monitoring. Drop it all and use it like a dumb phone, and you're
back to 4-5 DAYS on one charge.<br>
<br>
Yep, phones were made to be phones that are interactively used by
people on a VERY infrequent basis. They really weren't designed to
run applications 24x7 with no required user interaction.<br>
