Normally my fairly new N800 charges fully in about 2 hours and displays 10 days idle / 7 hours usage capacity.

With my normal usage pattern the battery lasts about 2-3 days.

Since yesterday the battery runs empty in just a few hours and takes forever (6 hours) to charge. Now it shows only 3 hours capacity when full (instead of normally 7).

The top of the device near the power button runs hot, even in idle mode. "internal-temp" from http://nitapps.com/ displays 37.25 °C.

I did not install anything yesterday. The last app I installed was Canola2.

When idle normally just Osso-Mail runs in the background, WiFi on and Bluetooth off.

I have long renamed the meta-crawler executable.

"top" does not show anything with excessive CPU usage.

I even tried setting WLAN to low transmission power, did not help.

Also rebooting did not help.

Does anybody have an idea what could be the cause?


Cheers, Kas.
