I checked the battery indicator at around 00.30 Tuesday and it was half full (or half empty) that means that half the battery drained in less than 8 hours and while the phone was idle!

This is really frustrating as I don't want to charge my phone when battery is only half empty and yet if I don't, I won't have any battery left in the morning...

I did not change my usage routine
The wifi connection is always off
I have only installed egg timer, hex-a-hop, OM weather, FM radio, tuner, cpumem-applet and nameday applet

It seems strange to me that the battery time is cut to half with no apparent reason, unless there are some issues with the latest maemo firmware update.

Does anyone else have the same issue? Is it a firmware - battery indicator bug?
Can you go into terminal and type top? - Let us know if anything is sucking the CPU dry?
