Re: Has anyone else's N900 become significantly hotter after the PR 1.2 update?

Yes - I upgraded to PR 1.2 on Wednesday. N900 was noticeably warmer on Friday. Seems cooler today.

Admittedly, I was experimenting with the OS all Thursday and Friday, but I was thinking of asking the same question.

Re: Has anyone else's N900 become significantly hotter after the PR 1.2 update?

I did a manual upgrad with the flasher, including a flash of the emmc and my n900 is about as warm as it ever was.
No fancy apps installed (yet) and the reindexing did not make it significantly warmer either...

I noticed my N900 getting warmer, but just for the first day after upgrade. I checked by opening xterminal and running command

In the %CPU column there were high values for tracker-indexer and hildon-thumbnail.

Exactly right !!! spot on absolutely lol.

Re: Has anyone else's N900 become significantly hotter after the PR 1.2 update?

right now on my n900, there is only conky, skype, and xchat windows open, but conky is showing "browserd" taking ~90% cpu !! I wonder why. I will have to kill that process I guess, or just launch browser again and close it and see.

later ... ok i launched the browser and clicked on one of the bookmarks, during the page load process the cpu usage went way down, and now its normal. If I had not observed this through conky, wud it drain the whole battery? Yes perhaps. These things need lot of optimizations.

my N900 has nothing running and is vanilla 1.2 and its charging. And it is still hot. I usually notice it when I am charging my phone.

The uptime is over 3 days, maybe its time to reboot? However, I hoped that there will be no need to reboot at all =(

Re: Has anyone else's N900 become significantly hotter after the PR 1.2 update?

mine has the same problem too. after removing Twitter widget & a reboot, it's back to normal now, don't feel any heat at the back anymore. not sure if that's the cause, but it works for me.

maybe because we're in may-june its getting hotter :P summer is coming

Re: Has anyone else's N900 become significantly hotter after the PR 1.2 update?

i really cant tell since i am overclocking even @1.15GHz. but my device really gets hot when making/receiving calls, using/playing media files and apps and playing emus. which i believe is normal.
