I'm a new 770 wooter, fwiw.

I installed 2007HE yesterday, and I love it. Mostly just subtleties, but nonetheless...

Now, my battery life is a joke. Even when the device is off! I flashed the OS yesterday morning, and by late afternoon of light use, mostly with no wi-fi, I had one battery bar. I snapped the cover on, stuck 'er in my pocket, and when I pulled 'er out a little while later, completely dead.

So I charged it up, then did a little mild surfing just before bed. After that, I turned it OFF, set it on the nightstand, and went to sleep. This morning, no power at all.

I saw at least one other person complain about 770 battery life after an OS2007 install, but then someone else blamed it on third-party software, because they had no such problems. Being a new user, I've installed very little software: xterm, becomeroot, ssh, maemopad, and aisleriot. Could ssh be doing this? I noticed yesterday that while ssh'd into the 770, I popped the cover on and was still connected. I didn't try turning it off, because it seemed obvious that it would have disconnected.

Regardless, could ssh be causing my battery problems, or is it OS2007?

Thanks.
