Powertop is in extras-devel. If you have enabled this repo, open xterm:

Code:

root

apt-get update

apt-get install powertop

Re: N900 Dies overnight, but battery is charged

Ok, looking at that powertop output shows it is PERFECT. Hell, it is even better than mine! Extremely low number of wake ups and a LONG time in C4 sleep.

This points 1 of 3 possibilities (AFAICT).

1. Your old battery is f******.

2. There is some run away process that is working that is not present after a reboot and your in offline mode.

3. You have a serious hardware problem.

How old is your battery? Is it an official battery? How many times has it been charged over it's lifetime? Ten times? A thousand?

Have you received your SCUD battery yet? Does the problem persist?

What other **** have you installed, from you description it would imply you have or are considering dual booting meego? Have you installed power kernel, power kernel settings, etc?

Before we jump to the conclusion of hardware fault, I would recommend a COMPLETE reflash. However that is the last step.

Right now I am leaning towards dud battery.

Re: N900 Dies overnight, but battery is charged

Thanks for looking into it.

The battery is official, new with the phone, which is now perhaps one year old.
I have reflashed last week [only phone, not card], noloboot is now removed totally.

Other software installed now is power kernel, settings, speed patch. All these were installed after the problem started however.

New battery left Hong Kong today, hah!

I will turn it off tonight, perhaps with the battery removed, see what happens.

Thanks.

Tonight:

1. Charge fully, disconnect from charger.
2. Install 'batterygraph'.
3. Start N900 up in offline mode.
4. Leave over night.

Report results and provide the graph from batterygraph. That should give us a good indication of what the discharge curve is like. (make sure battery graph has CPU, charge & network enabled).

Re: N900 Dies overnight, but battery is charged
