Hi Neil,
i am now using 3.5 kernel with QtMoko. It looks good. I have implemented the 
jack detection and it works great. I have also adapted the GPS code - it now 
just rfkill blocks/unblock gps.

While i was working on these new features I have noticed one strange thing. 
The device took in suspend 21..25mA. After reboot it is back at ~35 mA. So i 
wonder what could have triggered the low power in suspend. I cant reproduce it 
anymore ;-(

One more thing - i was trying to find out how much current is the modem 
drawing. I have A4 version so i powered the modem off with this [1] script. I 
was expecting that the current will go down, but it's even higher - around 
45mA in suspend. I wonder what is wrong...

Btw have you noticed that in 3.4 or 3.5 kernel you can wake the device from 
suspend with touchscreen?

Regards

Radek
