OK
Battery usage is better in the new build, but still excessive. I can run through a battery in under 12 hours. This is not the case using the "Other" software. (Abut 1/2 will be remaining)

Actually we also noticed the battery drains faster with the continuous satellite number query.
We are considering adding a menu item "check satellites" on the main menu with "send now", "run in bkgd", "Setup..." and "About...". And won't auto check sat num on the main screen.
Thank you,

That was something I was going to suggest. either that, or perhaps use one of the soft keys to bring the sat information to the main screen when pushed, but have the screen revert to no sat info after the first fix after the sat request button was pushed.
Of course to do this, you would have to move the menu button to the actual menu key. (something that should be done anyhow...)

Just one question for you: were you running AccuTracking in the foreground or background on your i730? or flip closed? Because v1.4.4 only checks satellite number when running in foreground. I have compared v1.4.4 battery time with v1.4, with flip closed and hot GPS disabled, they are about the same.
