Patch puts the USBOTG chip to sleep similar to the H3xx situation. Author claims 24+ hours of battery life on an X5L with this patch. I installed and will test over the next few days.

Testers and battery benchmarks needed!

Really cool! How does the 24+ hours compare with the original firmware's runtime?

nicolinux:
Thank you very much for this !

The official runtime is 35 hours so we get closer here !

RaeNye:
I got 5%/hour battery drop (192vbr mp3, vol ~ -25), so 25 hours is prolly a good estimate.

-25 volume, damn you must have good hearing!

Currently trying this patch out also, definitely feels like an improvement; we'll see when the day is over. I usually get about 6-7 hours (w/non-patched RB) though most my files are about q5/q6 ogg, and hardly ever use the headphone-out (always the line out with my headphone-amp or if I got it plugged into the aux-port of my car radio).
