I donno if anyone fixed the battery problem out there but i am one of you guyz whose battery used to drain like in 6hrs. So today what i did I got rid of everything so here it is:
running only 2 desktops with
-conversations widget
-4 contacts shortcut
-short cut for web, conversations, phone, email
-connections set to always ask
-brightness set to 2
-------------------------------
usage for the day:
- got it from the charger at 8am.
-surf the web on edge like 5mins
-made couple calls total of max 45mins
- surf the web on wifi like 5mins -rebooted after disabling it-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


it is 5:39pm right now and i still have almost full battery only 1 bar down...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think battery life is great so in the community we really need to figure out what is draining the battery that much...I know the whole idea of the device is being able to use it for a day with full functionality...All I want is being able to connect all day long for like 8am to 12am so like 16hrs...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will turn on always connect to 2g cuz where i am we have only 2g and test it again
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE "Out there figured it out...OR Nokia please come with a battery fix for the device...I love my n900 but with this battery like looks like it will be on ebay soon!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will wait till the firmware update and see hope things will be better...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update still the same day:
it is now exactly 11pm I turned on wifi around 10pm and running for the past hr and it is only 2 bars down which is more than half the battery.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE exact COMMAND on terminal to check the battery? I am not a linux person but a wanna be
