I love OpenVPN Settings. It allows me to do nearly anything with my phone remotely using any computer with Internet connection.
My problem is that I can't use it because it drains insane amount of battery because it has to maintain connection to server.
Does anyone know how to make it drain less battery - if it's possible?

Can someone clear up what it means for the battery when both Wifi and 3g are enabled at the same time but only one is connected? So when I pull down my status bar (on Gingerbread) both are lit up. Depending on where I am, only one will be connected. What does it mean (battery wise) for a constant on Wifi connection to have 3g data enabled at the same time, and more importantly what does it mean to have 3g enabled and wifi enabled at the same time yet set to sleep/never? If I toggle wifi when the screen goes on via a battery saver, is that causing more battery drain constantly turning the wifi on and off than having the wifi kept alive (still sounds like this would not save the battery from the name but that's what I read!) Surely if there are only a few hotspots I connect to, it seems that using a location based wifi manager to turn it off when traveling makes sense. But when at a location, even on battery, is it best to just leave the wifi on constantly or would toggling with screen off save more energy?
Toggling it would increase battery life.

Google Talk services are draining battery, that seems to be known problem. But, this issue for this topic is different one.
I checked Better Battery Stats, Better WiFi. Seems that wake related to wifi is the main issue many times.
The problem is - when I have WiFi hotspot, good signal, got connection, but do not get network access (needs to be authenticated), all of that in background (no alert, no visible action on screen). So, on WiFi screen I can see connected, but actually I did not get network access, so all services which need network access (including Google services) are simultaneously trying to go to network, to get updates or any other data and - that is draining battery heavily - access to network is not existing.
Anybody experienced this? How to fix this issue?
So, connected to WiFi hotspot, very good signal, the WiFi is connected.
No network access (WiFi needs to be authenticated), all of that in background (no alert, no visible action on screen).
For example - trying to reach 8.8.8.8 - Google DNS does not work
Phone is rooted (just to say that - I may install any application that would be helpful, also, access to configuration files available).
What needs to be done? Which parameters are to be reconfigured?

In order to receive real time Google Voice phone calls, I need to maintain an active internet connection. Everything I've read suggests that Wi-Fi is the most power efficient way to do this. However, my idle power consumption when using Wi-Fi is 2% per hour, vs 0.8% per hour on 2g (0.4%/hr when mobile data is off). Does anyone else have similar results, or is there something wrong with my set up?
What the title says. When my WiFi is off, my batter you does not move when idle or active. When WiFi is on my battery dies really fast
Have you disabled Wifi Always Allow Scanning under Advanced Settings?
Just wondering if anyone has experienced the following and might have a solution. Today my P9000 has had battery drain and is showing 30% battery usage for WiFi. However the WiFi has not been able to connect, every time I switch it on it switches back off immediately without connecting to the available network - the WiFi network is working correctly.
I have done a restart and powered down for 20 minutes but still not working.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
wich rom do you use?
