N900 - 70 days of uptime
Hi all, i just wanted to share this video, my N900 has been now running for over 70 days since last boot and is perfectly usable. Just a little reminder of how amazing they are, I would not dream of doing the same with my Belle Refresh N8 or my ICS tablet..

Re: N900 - 70 days of uptime
My record was 82 days. I could have reached more, but by restarting dbus the phone became unstable, so i rebooted -.-
Still, Maemo 5 is one of the most stable mobile operating systems and I'm proud to own one of these devices :) |
Re: N900 - 70 days of uptime
I believe docscrutinizer on irc had nearly a year on one of his devices!

So 70 days for me would be like dream, not to complain of course. Reboot is taking only few moments and few mAh ;-) but after that fresh and powerfull device is back on track, working hard. |
Re: N900 - 70 days of uptime
It's certainly not caused by recaller, I use it with WAV file mode and I always have 14+ days uptime

So man, I'm quite sure about Recaller. |

People were making stable operating systems before Maemo :) I reboot mine at least once a day. Sometimes more than that. It depends on how much I manage to resist fiddling. Installing a new application usually requires a reboot to force the redraw of the new icon. Which is a bummer, I really believe it shouldn't. |
Re: N900 - 70 days of uptime
This is fascinating but how do people keep the charge topped up? The USB on my first two only lasted a year each - now I'm out of warranty, I'm terrified of breaking it, so swap the battery once a day (as per drain rate).
If you're installing stuff, how does one get the application menu to refresh, without doing a reboot? "killall hildon-desktop"? Even when I was using a charger, I usually forgot or accidentally ran out of charge at least once a week, so (IMHO) anything 10+ days is good going! |
Re: N900 - 70 days of uptime
@demolition, have you filed down your micro USB connectors on your charger and PC connection? If you file them down they'll be a lot less likely to rip out the USB port.

Excellent. Not alot of smart-phones can reach that up-time these days. Another proof of how awesome the Meamo OS is. (Even with certain memory leaks)
Only reason I haven't got an up-time higher than 2 weeks is because i'm always home late and forget to charge it again :) Quote:

Yeah, done the charger thing ages ago - the way the slot fixes on to the board is just a bit light-weight, so unless given profolactic treatment, it will break. I been a bit tentative to do any soldering because I'm quite ham-fisted and thought I'd do more harm than good, but now I'm out of warranty it's probably a good idea. What is the generally accepted technique for refreshing the application menu and other things that can be a bit reluctant to update by themselves? |
Re: N900 - 70 days of uptime
I've also used my N900 as hotspot for almost a month with no reboot . I've took out the charger and battery drained in ~4 hours with hotspot running .
P.S. : n900 is a wifi monster , it's able to transmit on a large area , just like a router , even better than some shitty routers . |
Re: N900 - 70 days of uptime
Just a quick update, the experiment continues :)

In my case the biggest help was:
PS @sixwheeledbeast, I do not necessarily think it's off topic. After all, battery life does have an implication on uptime, albeit indirect. |

Do you really think you can reach a 70/100d uptime with a battery? Or what? If yours runs out in 9h, then because you have a high usage (see above) or some weird processes consuming or just playing all the time. Or just a flat batt ... |

Seamcken
please provide full output of powertop (in my case qtrapids-server a hidden process has 55 wakeups) now battery last for 2 days with normal usage it would be better if you provide more info edit / didn't see thedead1440 post while writing apologize to interrupt our comedy |

As sixwheeledbast said, spend it a SD card with two 2 GB swap partitions on it, use FlopSwap and it will run and run and run without any lags

FlopSwap is here BTW |
