Very little usage. If I let my fully charged N900 sit on the desk for 5 hours and don't even touch it, with nothing running but have it connected to 3G, then the battery will die. Until 2-3 months ago, this was not the case. I would need to recharge daily, but it would make it through most of the day on a single charge even if I made calls, used IM and spent a couple of hours running programs.
My concern over battery life is that I expect it to behave now as it did up to a few months ago.

The duplicates are not duplicate files. They are duplicate iterations of the same files. In other words, a single photo file will appear several times in the list of photos.

Obviously, the virtual keyboard is activated. That is why I expect it to appear. It appears after rebooting my phone, but then will eventually stop coming up after a while.

Same with the Auto-caps and text prediction.

I wish the bad battery could explain it all... because I'm out of ideas and the future of this phone is looking more grim each day.

I suggest you use the power search to search the term 'updating', click the first result and read.

It seems your only issue is user error!
I have flashed using 64-bit windows. Do I win some money?

Did it begin as soon as you upgraded, or happen weeks/months later?

Did you restore your apps list after reflashing? The problems (or at least some of them) could be the result of a rogue app.

I tested the phone before restoring from backup. Same problems.

**clarification**
I tested by taking photos, trying to type, and by observing the speed of battery drain.
