Exclamation slow wm5 and battery drainage

First I would like to say, GREAT site.
Now for my questions,..after I press the power button from when my x51v is in suspend mode, it takes about a minute to load the password/today screen. With white bars on the top and bottom, could it be the resco today screen thing? And during 15 minutes of wifi use, I was wardriving...my battery drained 30%, is this normal? I have applied the fake server fix, and I do have A06 firmware. Cpu speed is at max. I also notice a hang in loading apps, and switching from/to them.
What is the current for the default battery supposed to be, mine is 228mA?
thanks

Wow! 5 soft reset a day is a lot.

I did 2 in the last 3 months just because I wanted too.

Battrey drain can be done because of reminders.

I had mine set to remind me about meetings.

I made a mistake an put a meeting during the night (am vs pm mixup) and the next morning the Axim was dead with less than 10%.

Now my reminders are set to "ring" only for 5 minutes max.

Something to look for if your Axim drains the battery.

Cheers,

Is it just the fact that im using reminders that uses up battery juice, or the "ring" feature, and how would I set up the amount of time that it rings, thanks

5 soft resets, wow, thats alot

I would have thought this thing would be alot faster, since it has more then half a Ghz of processing power

Resco's Today plugin and Odyssey Client will make Axim crawls at startup.

The only time I soft reset is when I think the Axim is frozen, but it actually turns out that it is locked. After one or two soft resets, I finally figure it out....
