Yes, you may well be aware that the radio strength of N900 is quite strong thus is the high power-usage. You may decrease the radio usage at night to save battery by the following method.

Download the attachment and extract the script hardsleep.sh (modified from No!No!No!Yes!'s N900 Hard Sleep Mode) and then have it run automatically at night with fcron. You may want to return your phone to normal connection mode so there's another attached script normal_connection.sh in the attachment you can use. The fcron lines will go like this:

Code:

0 0 * * * run-standalone.sh /home/user/script/hardsleep.sh
30 7 * * * run-standalone.sh /home/user/script/normal_connection.sh

There are many other ways to do the same thing but I like doing it with script. Hope this help.
