But seriously, this has been covered a thousand and one times already. Please use the search first.
As GA said -
But he might have added -
and then add to a relevant existing thread.
This helps focus the solutions in fewer threads rather than having umpteen threads named slightly different.

A simple google search on battery drain in the forums turned up 214 results. A forum search for titles with battery and 2 or more responses in the last 6 months turned up 52 separate threads.

This results in a very little signal and a lot of noise in the forums and makes it difficult to find the response you want. Frequently I will run across someones problem (like this battery drain) remember a potential solution was covered in another thread and say the heck with it because I won't take the time to search for someones solution if they don't add to an existing thread.

Not all solutions should be put in the wicki, they should be user tested first.

Anyways - to contribute to this thread:
While monitoring top also run battery status to a log.

Searching google is often more effective, if you know the right incantation to make it only search iTT. While "battery" on the site search brought up 52 hits, "battery drain" brought back 1 and it's specifically related to the 800 not charging issue.

Unfortunately google can also provide a lot of useless hits as well.

I hate to say it, but it's not always obvious even for a well trained person to find the appropriate information inside iTT threads.

...i don't think that the problem is the general heat in a room or in the pocket, because the n810 itself gets warm like if it is runnig a resojrce-hungry program (video for example)....
That is exactly my experience. Video watching will get it warm a bit very fast.

Please try WorldTV99 in my signature and you will see.

I forgot to add that my battery also was hot several times when the phenomenon appeared. This is not the case any more. Something has happened.

Would it be possible that consumption rate is defined by an algorithm to "high level" until wifi signal is found and "locked in" in a efficient way? That would explain why after Chinook and Diablo, wifi detection was slow so power drain was high and everything turned back to cruise level after a while?

I m dining tonight with a senior manager of quality control in electric signal in Nokia. I will ask.

That incantation is:
  1. Go to InternetTabletTalk main page.
  2. Locate the "Google Custom Search" box under the heading "Search" at the top of the right hand column.
  3. Type likely keywords in the aforementioned search box.
  4. Press "Enter" or tap/click the "Go" button according to your preference.

Yes. Usually when you felt the heat 'literally', it is already running amok and the heat continued to build up even the tablet is being turned OFF, or at least attempted to. It did not work and ended up with an almost empty battery, and I cannot think of anything to stop it other than taking the battery out if it happens again. To get something normal running to become warmer and warmer has to be an accelerated process, likely something that 'feed' on itself, for example, the caseyjones reaction in cocaine users. It occured twice with my N810 and it is pre-diablo. I kept my fingers crossed and so far, has not seem it for quite awhile.

I can't remember the last time I visited the main page, but thanks for the pointer.

Intel's PowerTOP works on ARM too. If you can get it compiled (using SB), you can use it to figure out which apps use how much power (in W).

For the reference, there's a thread about powertop on the N810 (found with Google).
