Thanks for old thread, but since there's steel no solution, I think it will be good, to notify eDGe support once again about this problem
I understand what is "phone idle". But look at the numbers. I can accept "phone idle 42%" with "wi-fi 48%" in terms of time used (CPU time), but there's absolutly no way to get same numbers in terms of power consumption.
Also I checked once again, wi-fi is always ON in sleep mode (the same with trackball light, which also earn some power).
Once again. Compare eDGe to other e-book readers, which also use linux platform, and wich also have some "idle proccesses" but can work x10 times longer than "eDGe in sleep mode".
And compare them with other android mobiles, which have at least GPRS allways on (and sometimes GPS or wi-fi as well) and steel can work x3 times longer than "eDGe in sleep mode".
