what bands do you usually have it on? e.g. 3g gsm dual
you could try removing some applications and make a list of what you have removed and see if it makes any difference, then you can rule out which ones cause problems. then gradually re-introduce your programs(apps)
has your n900 every run out of battery or have you seen it getting low and just instinctivly plugged it into charger?
which power are you using v47 did you do the blacklist thing?

echo "blacklist bq27x00_battery" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

However I am going to try, at least for the sake of cord's sanity.

Firstly, I don't trust your new battery. Unless you bought an official battery (doubtful) the chances are it is NOT the capacity advertised....

Secondly, from those initial powertop graphs I can see you have a ton of junk running all the time. The N900, while a pocket computer is not THAT powerful.

Powertop.
Powertop will show what is keeping the device from going to 'sleep'. The lines about C1, C2, C3 and C4 are the most important. Of these c4 ia the most important. Ideally, when 'asleep' the CPU should be in C4 over 90% of the time. The time in C4 mode should be above 1500ms. The more stuff you run at once, the harder it is for the CPU to achieve good sleep times.

what you are going to do:

1. Install pastebinit
2. Remove all widgets from the desktop.
3. Put phone in offline mode.
4. Turn phone off, remove battery for 20 seconds.
5. Replace battery and switch back on.
6. Tell phone to stay in offline mode.
7. Wait 4 minutes.
8. Open xterm and type:

Code:

sudo powertop >> output & sudo powertop >> output & sudo powertop >> output

9. Quickly lock phone and wait 4 minutes.
10. Connect your phone to the internet and type into xterm:

Code:

cat ./output | pastebinit

11. Paste the url here.
