I reflashed my N800 (a few days old from the Circuit City sale) to OS2008 yesterday after mangling something as root and today I'm noticing something odd with it.

I've gone through lots of power-related threads and I haven't seen this combination. I even downloaded the PDF manual from Nokia and looked for a standby-like mode to explain this and didn't find one.

If I plug it into the charger and it says "Charging..." all the time, even overnight. It used to finish charging.

When I push the power-on button to fire it up it shows the Nokia splash screen but DOESN'T have the blue bar crawl across the bottom of the screen. It then seems to work ok.

I do like the fast startup, but it didn't used to be this way. I'm worried that it's stuck in some kind of standby mode that's consuming power even when I want to shut it all the way off.

And I also saw that power-off problem when charging too. Pull the charger, try to power it on, nothing. I pulled the battery for a little while, that didn't work, and then mashed the power button a dozen plus times to get it started.

The linux core of this thing? Impressive. The way I can accidentally break it with software updates? Impressive. The power issues and uncertainty? Not cool.

Any help here is appreciated.
