Perhaps it might be related to faulty WiFi routers? I vaguely remember similar problems ages ago with other hardware.

Re: GUIDE: How to improve battery life SIGNIFICANTLY
 

I finished some more testing regarding the Wi-Fi problem. Effectively the results are that with bug triggered, full battery last less than 7 hours of idle time. But without triggering the bug, the full battery would last over 7 days! But see rest of the info edited into the previous post as it contains much more than just the test.

It is possible. Or related to specific encryption methods used with Wi-Fi. But in any case something triggers a bug in N900 to cause it to drain battery very fast even after disconnecting the Wi-Fi connection.

How the **** do we turn off those damn keyboard clicks? That's another thing that could save on battery life.

Nice post indeed

Settings -> Profiles, then scroll down to key sounds (it's easy to overlook).

Having problems with very low battery time of around 6 hours or less on low usage? Then check out the following post:

Summary of my testing results:
Idle: 9.1 days
Idle with 3G internet connection idle: 3.1 days
Idle after connecting and manually disconnecting from Wi-Fi: 6.9 hours

@Phantasm what is a good # to have for the battery.reporting.current? Here is my screenshot. As you can see my uptime is not too good considering what the battery percentage is..

Re: GUIDE: How to improve battery life SIGNIFICANTLY
 

It all depends on usage. The mentioned times were for total idle. On real usage you can probably drain the battery in a working day if you actively use the phone with battery draining tasks. But if you have low usage, you should be able to get real battery lifetime of 3-5 days.

As for your screenshot, if you rebooted your N900 just after fully charging it, you must have either used it very much during that 1 hour and 28 minutes, or triggered battery drainage bug.
