Ok, so that's what I can add non-off-topic to your problem:
- It is not overclocking problem. It's just not the case here, believe me.
- You probably have some daemon running in the background. If you are curious, you can read about what a deamon is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computing%29
- QUESTION: You could run on your device:
Code:
ps -A > /home/user/MyDocs/runningprocesses.txt
Note that / is different character, than \. And also it is "ps" followed by space, followed by "-A" followed by space, followed by ">", followed by space, followed by "/home/user/MyDocs/runningprocesses.txt" (I remember you might encounter problems typing commands in terminal, last time you forgot important part of command I asked you to type ). It will create a file on your N900 storage, so when you connect your N900 to your computer and open it from your computer, you should see file "runningprocesses.txt" in it's main directory. Please attach it here. If you cannot see or find this file, read my instruction again and repeat the whole process, if it's still not there - you are making a mistake somewhere and please don't ask here why it's not working and you cannot see any file like this.
- I can be wrong (and probably am), but if I were you, I would try searching CSSU thread for similar reports of battery drainage (if you have CSSU installed), because it may be the problem (just may, please don't be mad at me CSSU devs pretty please ).
- From my own experience with my phone (your experience may differ): it may be tracker or thumbnailer indexing crazy like there is no tommorow.
- QUESTION: Did you install some extra protocols for contacts and conversations? I'm again only just guessing, but I remember that (especially msn protocols) some of them were in the past (LOL, I tried them ~1.5 year ago so it might have changed) trying to connect to the Internet constantly and constantly running in the background. It may also happen if you have Pidgin installed and turned on (you know that to turn this baby off you need to actually select "Quit" from it's app menu, because just closing the window makes it stay turned on for eternity?)

I didn't mean to be rude writing this post, so also please don't feel offended, I was trying to be nice and explain everything

Edit: Your attitude towards JohnLF (he was trying to help in at least one other thread and you didn't even listen to him and didn't answer him and now you offend him and call him "sh*t") makes me a sad panda That's just wrong...
hey thank you. trust me i have tried everything. i havent used online im for 5 days now and i have wifi switcher when i heard there is a bug in n900 so its off most of the time when im not using. it disables all the wifi drives when it says wlan disable (the wifi switcher) and every app and the update cssu firmware was before the overclocking when i used to get battery life. now AFTER the kernel and the overclocking, i THINK this is the case. but im also searching for this new bug (i think) that when i enabled bq27x00_battery, it drained battery like crazy. and now the battery widget on my desktop and the battery in my status bar are totally different percentages. the status bar shows like 12 percent whereas the widget shows 59 percent. this HAS happened because of bq27x00_battery, not that sure about the battery draining. if u know any information on this, then do tell. and i am trying all voltages and frequencies and have tried smartreflex as well but well lets see if i manage to get some more info on the recent bug that i think is the problem.
thanks

oh and about that sh*t thing, he was messing around with me since day 1. i had a problem, he commented DONT use extras-devel and testing. its not for u. it IS for me. i know what im doing and its my device. i AM the owner and when i get problems, i come here and research or post threads so that people like u can help me with. that is one of the things what maemo.org is about.
