Re: ~7 h battery live, who get's less?
;)i am switching to 2.5G all the time & rarely doing browsing. Only making & recieving calls ( sometimes a lot) + daily updating my application manager once/day to check if any new updates are out.
With the above i have a battery life for 3 days & really happy..:):D:p:o |

Now, the laptop has the duel-core whatever running; 4gig of ram; so it is a bit more powerful on paper; but I actually do not do much on it other than running a spreadsheet or viewing pdf and being connected to the net.:D |

For my case, I had a week or so of really low battery performance(ie. the unit ran of juice in less that 5 hours). After poking and looking, I found out that two of my recently downloaded widget were the problem - ie. they came on periodically even though the unit was on standby. cheers |
Re: ~7 h battery live, who get's less?
N900, to use its resources fully to at least resonable long enough, you need bigger battery (2400 mAh) compared to the original (1350 mAh) one.
Using WLAN or GPS-tracking w/ bigger battery gives you usually just enough extra juice to get through one day. |
Re: ~7 h battery live, who get's less?
Use the 'overclock' kernel with low voltage or ideal profile may also extend the battery performance. However, one needs to be comfortable in working with such setup and needs to be FULLY aware of and ACCEPT the consequences. With my current setup, my unit loss is about 10%/day while in idle mode(ie. no connectivity, no active app open).

Re: ~7 h battery live, who get's less?
All those ideas are good people. But you miss out on the problem. Performance tweaking comes later.
Can we have some more details on your case, please? Have you done the batterygraph install yet? Which programs have you installed (with version number pls if you used other than extras, like testing or even devel)? How many widgets are on your desktops and which? |

You say "When I'm at home, my N900 is on charger all the time." In other words, when you are home your N900 hasn't much mobile freedom. You slould buy an external charger. The ones I have bought (Hong Kong) work perfectly. Cost about $10. You say that swapping batteries sucks. I guess, for about ten seconds + reboot time. The rest of the time you get the mobility you paid for. |
Re: ~7 h battery live, who get's less?
I get 24hrs plus when never connected to GPRS (2.5G), using stock voltages, using wifi here and there to check mail, check for updates on facebook, etc, no calls, no sms, coulple games, when I'm bored at work, maybe some light reading in the PDF Viewer, but although 24hrs is a lot what I don't like is that, it could be less with constant use because battery level drops fast, but I think I'm just paranoid because with other devices (old old ones) u can't see the % of battery left, but with this device you have ways of keeping a good eye on it. I'm satisfied with my battery for now though. I'm satisfied with the device on the whole.

usually mine lasts between 3.5 and 7+ hours depending on usage (and some hidden variables)
