Since putting Camcoder on my p800, I have noticed if I use it for playing or taking video, and then close the app, my battery life seems to shorten to about 12 hours on standby.
I can phisically see the battery meter go down each half an hour,
Yet if I shutdown and reboot, the battery lasts longer!
does anyone else have this problem or is it a figmeant of my imagination? |

Do you use SMan 1.1a (available from my-symbian -> UIQ devices -> downloads)? I wonder if the 'end task 'kill' option, followed by the memory 'flush' function will kill it off? (Would save a reboot)

Gone are the days when I used to run my battery down so it could have a full recharge - I always ended up somwhere with a dead phone!
Mind you, nowadays with the new Li batteries, they can take repeated charging without degredation of performance, so my P800 gets sat in the cradle *every* night!
Get SMan 1.1a - no P800 should be without it (also get File Manager to go with it)!

The camcoders has an exit option on the program which closes it down! |

Not all programs always free up their memory space properly....

You should have done the search on esato instead. (so I did it for you)The following link will tell you everything about Sman. It is a thread by the developer himself. And just for your information Sman solves the problem of baterry drain.
