I think the fact that most netbooks with a battery double the size would not be able to last 14 hrs is something to keep in mind. I had a business trip last week, 6am leave and got back at 7pm. all I did was not use the phone, I think I checked my messages like twice as I was in meetings. The phone still had about 2 hours min left on it.

One could easily turn off 3g and im sure that would increase battery life, i notice that my phone draws more power trying to find reception than it would at home on the wifi.

What we really need is an app that optimises on the power consumption, it's nice to have my phone connected all day to such things as facebook, emails and skype but is there no ways this could be optimised?

I just found this entry on bugs.maemo.org and wanted to link it here. The comments there go in good detail of how the battery percentage calculation works.

Bug 7636: battery level not showing 100% when full

NOTE
The bugtracker is not a forum, so please don't post unnecessary, unrelated or uninformational comments there...

ye I read about the battery not chargin to 100%, my concern is how the graph goes up without any charging, the small peaks are from...?

I had a read of the entry in bugzilla, didn't think it was wise to make a comment as I havent been on here long but does anyone remember the old Nokia's and how they had a reserve on the battery? the hpone would die, and u did something like hold the on button whilst holding # and * or something and then the phone would trun on with one bar...? just a thought but could this be something that nokia still builds into the phone hence it always reporting less then 100%?

No phone I know can do that for a whole day... 3G MMORPG, Music, IM, Web connected widgets, thats going to suck a lot of power...

You might look over the threads on battery use out there.

Finding or narrowing possible problems is just dead simple task. Just turn off everything. Off course you can go by simply taking one by one off, but I think that after seeing what idle battery usage should be (read this thread and look pictures) you can first see that the "zero" level is same with others. What this means?

Original battery? Newest firmware?

-reboot phone
-IM offline
-wifi off
-2g only
-fm transmitter off?
