Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

Well, im using 3 widgets right now:

1- A widget called "Battery"
2- Personal IP Adress
3- Media Player

Are any of them intensive on cpu?

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

The Xorg process is the X server that is responsible for rendering everything you see on your N900. Killing it is ... not good.

And, the column that you marked is "Total time spent in the CPU" which, for Xorg, should be high compared to the rest. If the hildon processes spend lots of time in the CPU, my guess would be that you're using widgets/applets/whatnots that want to update their graphics and thus generate time in the CPU.

Have a look at the documentation for htop and learn that the columns actually mean. This will help you in the future.

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

Chrome you really want to improve your battery? :P. May I suggest: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com...okia-n900.html

Ugly..but plenty of juice for the processes to eat.

And here's my opinion:

These could just be listening, and use minimum processor, or they could be coded wrong andcheck every second..which really eats up your battery:

Battery
Counter
Custom Operator Name Widget
DateToday Home Desktop Widget
Facebook Desktop Widget
Facebook Widget and Photo uploader
Load Applet
Personal IP Adress
Proximityd
Shaded chat theme

Personally I don't believe any of these is a a problem..but they might be.

Said to never close:
Healthcheck
Flash Launcher

These are said to have problems that when you open them and close them, the process remains open, eating up CPU usage of course.

Thought that may help.

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

Sorry I didn't reply..but I was expecting someone more experienced to answer you. The fact is that I have no idea what to do with those reports. Sorry.

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

i dont consider this a problem but i just want to get opinions and possible facts.

today, my battery drains 17% for 1 hour and 46 mins.

for those hours, i have:

-wifi fully connected, all the way
-5 IM accounts active
-momentarily use of microB and firefox browser for internet
- non stop media player (playing mp3 for 1 hr/45 min)
-overclocked @250/1000mhz (xlv)

is my battery drain normal under the above conditions?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATOON: i have 4 desktops and 20 widgets active (all of them updates either when clicked or switched desktops, except fot the e-mail widget that updates every 5 mins)

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

@gabby

Of course your battery drain is normal, I'd lose +40% for 2 hours under your conditions.

Looks like reflashing rootfs and eMMC is the only solution.

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

@chrome

flashing the emmc solved this problem when i first re-flash my phone in pr1.1

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

Just for consideration: applications that update information in real-time (or at least often) like some desktop widgets might in some circumstances drain the battery. Also I wouldn't trust applications that have daemons running and collecting data.
