Debugging problems related to battery life typically requires that you use a combination of hardware and software to isolate the cause of the problems. In many cases, the most valuable hardware tool is a current meter, which enables you to monitor power consumption directly on the device in real time. The most useful software tools are often the debugger and the call profiler.
The following topics explain battery life debugging techniques:
- Monitoring Power Consumption by Using a Current Meter and Platform Builder Tools
- Diagnosing Idle Mode Problems
