hmmm. My phone doesn't need to ingest a new code downgrade to occassionally draw too much current when it appears to be asleep. It did it again last night. During the night when it was in idle mode it drew about 4 times the idle current it drew during the day.

The OS is Android. How can I identify the rogue app/code module that is causing this. I have very few apps I have chosen to install, the one I am most suspicious of is a tv guide app from TV Guide UK TV Listings - UK's No 1 TV Listing site for Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media, Freesat & BT Vision. It occasionally fails to launch properly, which I think is a problem if it is selected before the phone can lock onto our WiFi router.

Selecting "reboot" from the power key menu clears the issue and the battery use rate drops back to less than 1% per hour. The phone is set to use it's "power saving" mode.
