Hi, I had "battery life" problem recently after os2008 installation on my n800. I started investigating this by re-fleshing new instance of OS, gradually install new software and use strace to monitor what was going on. What I found was each second or couple of second there was a process querying /proc/something-i-cant-remember-now against headset connectivity. I stopped fmradio home aplet and it was gone. I don't think it caused my battery lasting only one day, but it may explain how fmradio 'knows' whether headset is connected or not. cheers Pit On Jan 10, 2008 9:32 AM, Andrew Flegg <andrew at bleb.org> wrote: > On Jan 10, 2008 9:28 AM, Klaus Rotter <klaus at rotters.de> wrote: > > Kalle Valo wrote: > > > > > > No, you're not stupid.
