Problem - battery drain
 

Hey guys.

having a small issue with my phone.

i have some serious battery drain issues.

On idle its lasting aprox 3 hours and on load about 30 minutes!

I have tried 3 new batteries and the problem persists.

i have uninstalled the vast majority of software.

the only thing i can think of is there must be a process or a service thats running in the BG causing this drain.

Conky doesn't show any real abnormal CPU usage.

Is there any way to check and kill BG process's?

http://wiki.maemo.org/Make_your_battery_last_longer can help. Could be a connection issue, where software is desperately trying to connect to some kind of service. How is the RAM/ active connections?

IMO :

1-) 20% you have a hardware problem
2-) 50% kernel-problem (try to downgrade to version 46)
3-) 30% some thing wrong with your microSD causes N900 to suck the battery
4-) if nothing above was the problem then try to reflash and test
if the problem still on then you do have hardware problem
