Winterface and battery drain

Here's a small update to the battery drainage I experienced on the Treo Pro with earlier versions of Winterface. Battery drainage caused by Bluetooth Status button - Vito Winterface - Treo Pro

Under certain conditions, I've noticed the same high power consumption with the latest version (1.2) too. After a bit of trial-and-error I've found that the Bluetooth Status button is the cause of this.

I'm sure it will be fully fixed in an upcoming release or patch, but for now removing the Bluetooth Status button from the Winterface screen solves the problem.

First official Treo Pro patch fixes Bluetooth problems

Palm has released an official patch for this Bluetooth problem: when using BT car kit or headset, if a second incoming call is received and ignored, the audio of the first call is lost.


Your Treo Pro needs to be version T850UEU-1.01-XXX or lower, newer versions have the fix already.
