Hello all. I especially hope that Nokia staff reads this one.

I am a new 5230 owner and i've been generally happy but i found a major issue.

One morning the alarm did not wake me up because the battery was dead tired, ie. empty. I got worried. I took energy profiler -program in order to see  when the power consumption is too high. At first i didnt notice anything unusual. I thought that maybe some application crashed or i accidentally left the camera on.

Then i noticed that EVERYTIME i use my camcorder, and if i use the navi key (or what's that white button between red and green is called) in order to do some multitasking (going to menu was enough) energyprofiler told me that my phone eats around 185ma of power all the time, even when in total standby mode!!! I tried this again and again and again.

Here's the summary:

7 times out of 7 i used the camcorder (dont have to record with it) and jumped into a main menu for example WITHOUT quittin the program, the program crashed(?) and it started to eat battery. Tasklist says that camera is not running when i closed it after multitasking.

When i do the same thing twice with still camera, it worked ok, no excess power consumption.

If i use my camcorder, even to record something, then quit the corder without doing any multitasking, it works fine.

I didnt test how long it will keep that higher consumption, i had it for 10-15minutes and it stayed stabile with 185ma on total standby (screen off, keypad lock on etc). I tried to keep red button pressed, in order to shut down everything but no effect what so ever. And since i've already found my phone dead once, i really think this is the reason.

 After hard reset everything becomes normal.

Comments please. Do anyone else have found similar issue?

My program firmware is 21.0.004

In canse i didnt make myself clear on the original post:

I DID CLOSE THE PROGRAM EVERYTIME after the multtasking. And phone says that camera IS NOT running. But it still eats power as it would run.
