I can't see that re-enabling it will be helpful for my own personal tablet. The power drain is bad news, and should be fixable. Idon't claim to know exactly what causes the issue, but I still hold up the opinion that the crawler is bad news on many* N8x0 systems. I've seen a load of users have this issue on the IT forums and this list. Something somewhere is going wrong. For me it was this, so I stick to my guns and say - Metalater-crawler == poor battery life. Obviously, YMMV. Whatever the issue.. it's real. It's a big issue for many users. It's not an obvious error, cause I'm guessing it would be fixed by now if that were the case. All I can report is what I have already stated in a hope it can be useful. * I can't quantify "many", so I will not claim "all". _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
