Honestly, I had my first week of N800 ownership with the battery lasting not much past one day. If it still had a charge in the morning, it was at critical levels. I removed the crawler after seeking advice, and the battery life is not up to a week. I use my tablet about 1 - 2 hours a day, 5+ nights a week. I can charge it up at the weekend and easily still have battery enough to surf on Friday. If I leave it in stand by (select "switch off WLAN", "lock keys and turn off screen") it will last over 7 days with no use and still have at least 1 hour of use online. The key, kill the crawler process and stop it from re starting and turn off bluetooth and WLAN when you are not using the device. The worrying thing is that the metalayer-crawler might actually be harming the battery by putting it at critical levels repeatedly. Lithium ion batteries like to be about 80% charged, any more than 80% and they can be unhappy if left charged for periods, but also - any less than say 40% and they also get unhappy. Most batteries die because they go below the minimum safe charge level, which harms their chemical makeup and their capacity (from what I have read.) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
