Root SBC Charging

[bigbear6708]

is an SBC kernel supposed to ever reach 0maH? reason I ask, I had my phone plugged in for quite a while and as low as I could get was 6maH..according to battery monitor widget updating every 60 seconds. Could my wifi being on have affected that (I keep it on at night so pocket casts can update for me at 0400). but anyways, how "low" should an sbc go, or what is "normal"?

I got down to 2 last night on tiamat 3.3.7. Never seen SBC drop all the way to zero.

thanks brent. was that with or without radios (wifi, 3g, etc) on.

I just had wifi on. 3g enabled but not active since wifi was on. Make sure your wifi sleep policy is set to never.

I agree with Brent

I think its always supposed to have a positive charge going into the battery. I don't think its ever supposed to go to 0

It will go to 0. There are 2 things that I know that will prevent it from going to 0, first, old battery. Most of the time, you can get a good 3 months out of SBC going to 0 on a newer battery, after that, it will not get there.
Second, There are things running and using battery enough to keep it from going to 0. I put my phone into Airplane mode and it will reach 0 easily, and it will bounce back and forth from 0 to 2.
