I had some problems where the battery connections shook loose inside the battery pack, causing my tablet to reboot unexpectedly and not charge properly etc. So I was looking at the charging process trying to figure out what was wrong, and then out of curiosity using the battery-status script from http://nitapps.com/ and logging the output. I hadn't realized that the AP is part of the power-saving scheme; there is a power-save option on the tablet under advanced/other in the connection manager. If unchecked, battery life drops from 100 hours to 7 hours on my APs (Dlink at home, Proxim at work). I tried setting the WiFi to 10mW but it didn't make much difference. I agree; the backlight should turn off. With the light on, I estimate 9 hours battery life. http://andrew.daviel.org/N810-FAQ.html#battlast -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
