Great work my test actually confirms your statement. I took my phone off the charger at 9:40pm Woke up this morning and it has hardly budged. I hope Nokia comes out with a solution for this fast I cannot believe someone dropped the ball and didn't notice this.

I bet there's a way of just turning the wifi radio off. Be it a kill switch in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ or somewhere. I doubt you need Texas Hold Em Tex to reboot the device just to do this...

What about the bleeding edge app? Doesn't that just kill the wifi?

Also, entering the command yo shut down Wifi and I get a No Such Device error, anyone care to give a proper step to completing?
