why did my battery die so fast? (batterygraph screenshot included)
 
hey all,

im doing my best to remember all I did (and didnt do) this morning...

2am I disconnect my phone from the charger and bring it to bed with me...

615:630 alarm was going off... (yea, not much sleep, rough)

730ish I switch from 2.5 to 3g to check 3 clicks worth of websites...

820am i leave my phone in my locker with 3 web pages that were loaded, sitting in the background.

1030am I come back to my locker, I received an email and look at my battery indicator and its red already. WHAT THE HECK!

as im walking outta the gym my phone dies... wt*

Well...just seen your batterygraph screenshot...seems that till 8H15 or so the curve decrease is pretty normal...what happened after?? I bet that CPU curve's show intense activity...you didn't forget by any chance to lock the screen ?!

Maybe the websites were heavy with flash?
It could also have been that hildon-desktop got stuck.

SAABoy is right, something is eating our batteries lately.
Same issues here last three days: one suspect, swappolube. The cpu consumption, IDLE, was amazing!

I have just had a look at my battery stats, and my battery does not seem to have been adversly affected by swappolube. certainly low usage seems fine.

either you had a few things open which was hitting swap and cpu, like auto updating web pages or an app which keeps raiisng notifications, and thus raising the screen brightness.

could you enable the cpu line in batterygraph?
i have titans lv profile at 250-850 and swappolube too.but my battery lasts 24 hours.

i guess its always possible. if it was a youtube video playing, all the battery sucking would end when the video stops, correct? as opposed to a flash ad that keeps sucking until I get back to close the webpage?

hildon-desktop would show up in conky if I caught it, correct? is there such thing as a log to log cpu activity?

I think something about Flash on the N900 keeps the CPU running even if the Flash video or whatever isn't running in microB anymore.
