Hi all;

My battery on my n810 is not holding up as well I would hope. I've been experimenting with both powered-off and full "sleepy" as described in the excellent Internet Tablet School. However, I can go from fully charged before I go to bed to less than 40% in the morning.

I installed battery-status from http://nitapps.com

It seems to give the same results as the battery icon (and in fact when run, will pop-up that dialog).

I would think that battery-status, because it displays a % number, is just reading the voltage and comparing that to the voltage at full charge.

BTW, one thing I do with my cell phone and the n810 that seems to help a bit - my wallpaper is a completely black image.

Still confused about battery...

Finally, as an aside, IanH said: I guess I live a sheltered life, but I have no idea how "hildon" has anything to do with a desktop GUI - but I would love to come out of my cave and understand this. (As an example of my cloistering, I only recently saw The Matrix for the first time - if I had not, then Red Pill/Blue Pill mode would have made no sense at all ...)

Thanks,

Steve
