Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 
I can add from my daily use experience.

4 IM accounts are always active when I'm on wi-fi and this way with average usage of device battery last around 24h... good enough for me.
However when I'm out and on 3GP traveling around (usually underground)
I've noticed All of IM accounts keep trying to reconnect and eating battery very fast. If I'm at work in place where is poor network coverage this is happening every 10 sec and obviously trigger screen to light up. In that case battery last no longer than 6h for me.

So... just to test it. I turned all of IM accounts off.

Now on Wi-Fi or 3GP (doesn't matter really) battery last nearly 2 days.
I learned to turn them on only when I need it and there is good network condition for that. It's enough to have only one network error on the list and same issue happens.

Also I can't update the plug-ins for Conversation with PR 1.2. Each time when I re-flashed device and run the same backup ability to do that seems to be random for me. I can't find consistency here. I was trying to turn off/on repositories... no luck.

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

Well Healthchecks was only if you reject GPS when asked - that should now be fixed in the new devel version 10 mins ago - but i can't ever replicate it :)

I've had my N900 die from drained battery from trying to update my IMAP folder. It's not fun waking up to a dead device just because the ISP at work has fscked things up.

Personally, I'd call this a bug in the network layer. An application that fails should do it gracefully without killing the host.
