File a bug to that application and get the developer to fix it. At least you are teaching the guy to fish. I understand when you open an AppStore the problem grows bigger but, like I replied to James, build an automated system to check average power usage on the SDK and AppStore acceptance process and you get developers to fix their apps before they reach the device. -- balbi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
