Description
When I shutdown FreeRunner? in Om2008.8/9 (by holding POWER button), and let unplugged FreeRunner? overnight, in the morning the battery is completely empty. Using kernel from release version of Om2008.x
I wonder if I am the only one experiencing this issue as i was not able to find any information about this problem.

No, I meant standard switch off: holding POWER button until "Shutting down..." window appears. Anyway, tonight I've tried the same procedure but with fresh new uboot and this morning everything was okay. Very probably I have recently flashed some bugy version, which was causing this issue?
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.

Holding POWER until the system turns off is an emergency shutdown that kills
power to the CPU and most peripherals but that almost certainly leaves GSM
active. So I wouldn't be surprised if this can be bad for the battery ...
