Hi all, first thing first - I tried searching the forum for someone with a similar problem as I'm having, but found no one (at least, no one that used to have good battery life and suddenly doesn't).
As for my problem - for 10 days I'm experiencing a very odd situation that I can only describe as an extreme battery drainage - I used to have a very good battery life (before and after updating to PR 1.3) while lately my battery won't last for more than 7 or 8 hours, even without any use of the device...
I have some screenshots taken by the excellent BatteryGraph application, which shows this dire situation I'm having - this is showing the situation as it was about 12 days ago (9th Nov):



And this is how it looks these days:



As you can see, this is an extremely disproportional behavior of the battery. This is the same battery as I had used before, I did not install anything really new since then, did not change and/or meddled with settings, and did not use my device in any different way than I used to.
  • I have two batteries and they both "behave" the same (e.g drain REALLY fast).
  • I tried charging both of the batteries with an external charger, but still they drain fast while being used.
  • I tried reflashing my device (not eMMC though, only firmware) but it didn't help.
  • WiFi/BT are of course turned off (and even if they didn't - this does not explain why without changing the way I use my N900 I used to have a battery which could last for more than a day, and now for no more than 8 hours).
If anyone can come up with a good solution for this, I'd really appreciate the help (else, I'd probably try to reflash my device including the eMMC)

P.S - I used to have another battery problem, though now its kinda solved by itself so I don't think its relevant, though it is worth mentioning in this context...

Thanks for the help in advance...
