If I'm listening to streaming music then battery dies much faster, a time measured in hours not in days. Some installed programs/widgets may be consuming CPU, daemons running in the background. HAM auto-update check can be a killer if you have a lot of repos enabled. If you are familiar with standard linux tools you can look in top and similar and find out what's running. BatteryGraph package is great, it will show when your battery usage is occurring, whether you are connected to gprs or wifi at the time. Maybe you can figure out if battery loss is constant or if there's a particular activity you did that is causing rapid drain. I also find that battery drain is affected by environmental conditions. If the N900 is in my pocket all day, or I'm in a place with poor signal, battery drains faster than if it is sitting on my desk with full bars. N900 in offline mode will last a week, but is not as fun. :) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
