So I guess you don't have any "cpuload" applet either. Many of them could be implemented badly i.e. polling even when the screen turns off. I would disable any applets that you don't use. If you reboot after that, you've saved a bit of memory too. :-) > To answer your question in a later email (so to try to save > bandwidth): the device is not in R&D mode... > > It was before the upgrade, but I disabled the R&D mode after an email > from you a week ago, or something like that explaining the problems > with power management in this mode. > Thinking about this, I did two things: upgraded the OS AND disabling > R&D mode.

Thanks, your effort is really appreciated! > Thank you all for your help and support, - Eero PS. This is more of a note for others. The Nokia FM-radio applet for N800 can currently drain the battery a bit too. AFAIK it should be fixed when the next release comes out. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
