Lately my N900's battery is behaving very weirdly.
It runs out in about 7 hours if I leave it on standby without doing anything.
Could anyone analyze this screenshot for anything weird*

i had the same issue with the xorg eating alot of cpu. my fix was delete the extra conversation protocols, and config/use the jabber. my battery life increased at least 2 times.

well regarding your idle mode only, 500 on low limit is pretty high.
gotta keep in mind that by default max cpu is 600
fyi, I put it to 250-1000 and came back then to 250-900 few weeks ago which is enough for my use
plus du you have loaded also Xlv voltages ?

Hi, I recently got my N900 and found that after a few days my battery only lasted fo about 10 hours on standby. Found the problem, remove the magnets from your belt holster and replace with velcro. Lasts a week on standby now.

hey guys is there a way to stop the battery from charging everytime it's plugged into the pc bcuz so I hear frequent minor charges and discharges can shorten battery life and make charging take longer periods. after 3months and recent plugging of my n900 into the pc to transfere files my n900 now takes 3hrs to charge :S

How about transferring files via BT?

So is there any conclusion to this thread as to what can cause random massive increases in battery drain?

A week ago I was easily getting 10 hours with VoIP and other things connected. Now I'm suddenly getting 3 hours and it dies. BatteryGraph (and conky) never record more than 5% CPU usage (xorg does occasionally jump to 10-15%) and it happens on 3G and wireless. Any battery grapher that tracks network usage? I'm skeptical its my network that is draining the power. I'll trial by running in offline mode once I charge up the battery (its at 0% after coming off a full night charge 4 hours ago).
