I agree!
A process stuck using high CPU will definitely drain the battery faster than expected.

Assuming the bug is gtalk could not connect and not the battery drain....

Does that mean if skype or gtalk goes down for several hours and you're logged in and don't notice.. you'll have a dead battery in 3-4 hours? Sounds like a design flaw....

Mine is discharged at 9am then using wifi to talk.maemo.org until 11:46am and my battery down from 97% -> 55% leave the phone unused for a bit and then watch some Youtube and movie for 20mins and it's down to 37%

now only 1:10pm my battery is 32% left. 4hours after the full charged, it only 32%?? 44.11 firmware did better than that.

The new firmware is sluggish and laggy. Clicked on closing tasks and it delayed 2seconds later. Music player doesn't do a live run when you press multitasking button. Seem to be not updating the status. When you clicked on it, then it reload and update. So this update destroying the Multitasking that Nokia claimed to have?

I have charged the phone overnight and unplugged it at 11AM. Drove around (2G/3G switching while driving). Connected to wifi / back to 2g multiple times later. Did extensive usage - browsing, emailing, GPS, supertux. Made several phonecalls and sms messages. Around 6PM noticed battery was getting drained so disabled IM accounts and switched to 2g only. It's 7:22PM and my battery was till holding on.

I have none of those issues. It's not the update, maybe an app that is incompatible? Installed daemon?

I removed most of my unstable apps before OTA, then readded.

i have the same problem: battery get drained very fast, and the phone is very warm... i have no skype/google running, no background apps, cpu idle as usual; only connected to my home-wifi (but this was no problem before the update).. hmmm...

I have similar issue too. nothing requires constant internet connection installed, no im or email accounts setup yet, didn't use wifi. the battery does seem to get use up faster since the update.

Hi Bugelrex,

Why do you have 30min update set on Nokia Messaging? I assuming that you have automatic update set for Nokia Messaging, I don't think that it is needed when using messaging, I have it disabled as messaging is push mail and shouldn't need an update timer, messaging is working fine like this and only push/retreiving.my mail between 8am-12pm. I'm not suggesting that this is the cause just a possible way to reduce power consumption a bit more.

me too - I have cpu monitor on and nothing shows. Nor does top. However before this update I was getting 14/15 hrs out of the battery. The way its going today it will be dead by 9 hrs.

Same here, nothing special running, before the update I could easily do 14+ hours, but today I barely made it 6 hours!!

is there a way to see which process is using all my battery-power??
