all in extras devel.

which one uses the least amount of power?


i myself have used haze (pidgin is the same i think) and this works perfect. no useless stuff anywhere, just the extra msn button, works great and all, but it does drains the battery quite rapidly. could be the data connection as well but..

anyone have any experiences on the other plugins?
I have been using haze too (didn't notice any drastic battery drain, but I wasn't that much online either)...

I have switched to butterfly now as it seems to be the "default" for Maemo 5... (?)

There is one annoying problem with butterfly though; If You delete a contact it isn't deleted from the server.

In fact the contacts I'm talking about don't even show up using haze (as I deleted them a long time ago). They aren't present on the MSN Live site, and don't show up in any other MSN client.

I'm not sure where the problem lies, but the maintainer of butterfly should have a look at the code haze uses since that works...

I have created a bug report regarding this -> https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7375

EDIT -> There is already a bug report for this on FreeDesktop.org -> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19903
