Battery Drained today

[thecodemonk]

I had a strange issue today.

I have an EVO Shift 4G on Sprint. Wifi is normally on at home and work. I have Wifi sync turned on and it worked great.

I have listened to music on Winamp while going to sleep over the last few nights. Yesterday I had no problem with the battery.

Today while riding in the car on the way to work, I noticed my data sending light coming on once every few seconds. The 3G notification light was on, meaning that there was data activity recently. About 2 hours later, I noticed it still happening and my battery was at 50%. I downloaded Wireshark to see if I could see which app was causing it. After looking at the report from over a 5 second perior, there were 3 packets sent my Winamp, but no incoming. I presume it was looking for my home PC (which was turned off this morning) and stuck in a loop of trying to find it again.

I tried to end the Winamp task, etc, but it kept doing it the rest of the day. My battery was dead by afternoon and I had to plug it in. I have rebooted the phone but I am not sure if that solves the problem. (The problem kept happening even AFTER I turned off the wireless sync, by the way.)

I will see if it still happens after the reboot, but if there is anything you would like me to check or do for debugging purposes, let me know.
