I second that! It would be extremely useful both for developers and for end users, so that they can see exactly what applications are draining their batteries - something similar to powertop or maybe a linux bootchart. I was somewhat surprised, for example, to find that the T-Mobile HotSpot finder was running a service every forty seconds, even when my wifi was off. Maybe that drain was minimal, maybe not - no way to know. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
