For some reason my Android phone's battery lasts a lot longer when in a "suspended" or "sleeping" mode. When I first bought my Pocket eDGe last Friday, that night, I thought it would have the same power saving features as my phone does. I kept both devices on, unplugged, and suspended while I slept. In the morning, my phone only went down 5-10%, and the eDGe almost completely drained! This was without any additional software installed.
I found that strange, considering my phone has more radios than the eDGe does, and I do believe I turned off the cell radio putting my phone into Airplane mode to make both devices even when testing out if the suspend feature worked optimally on the eDGe.
There is something running on the eDGe, even after suspended that is consuming power, whereas my phone does not have. The eDGe should be-able to last days without AC in suspend mode, just like my phone, but it doesn't. Don't go and say it's the screen size, as the screen is completely off on both devices in this type of situation, so that does not count to suspend time.
Hopefully enTourage can find out what is causing this and fix it, so that a suspended device can last days just like a Android cell phone can.
