this is in offline mode
removed the widget simple fmtransmitter.and fmtxd is not a widget....what more can i do.flashed my N900.and bought new battery

this is def a case of the blind leading the blind any1 seeing these outputs jump in. I'm still noticing opera showing up don't know why i've never used it and the fmtxd isn't showing up anymore since you removed the widget which is better .
will have a better look in a bit could you post the results of just top cheers

i cant post results in offline mode.cz i am using opera to browse.and do these figures show that my battery is drainig quickly.i cant undrstand nythng by looking at these figures.and my fingrs crossd.hoping to fix my prob.

the top value keeps on changing if i press any key

go offline for the powertop test and copy the results to notepad if it makes it easier then go into normal mode and back onto TMO and copt results to your post.

edit:just noticed you'd done it.

do you use wifi at all? can you change from 3g to gsm? i'm clutching at straws now

do you have fm transmitter enabled?

can you make a list of every program(app) you have?

here's stating the obvious you device isn't ever coming to rest. tbh if it was my device i'd be flashing it again but post that list of programs(apps) up, that might shed more light on it.
what bands do you usually have it on? e.g. 3g gsm dual
you could try removing some applications and make a list of what you have removed and see if it makes any difference, then you can rule out which ones cause problems. then gradually re-introduce your programs(apps)
has your n900 every run out of battery or have you seen it getting low and just instinctivly plugged it into charger?
which power are you using v47 did you do the blacklist thing?

echo "blacklist bq27x00_battery" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

OMG. I have to speak. You are like a blind crocodile trisha. You a big mouth to speak but no ears to listen or eyes to read.

However I am going to try, at least for the sake of cord's sanity.

Firstly, I don't trust your new battery. Unless you bought an official battery (doubtful) the chances are it is NOT the capacity advertised....

Secondly, from those initial powertop graphs I can see you have a ton of junk running all the time. The N900, while a pocket computer is not THAT powerful.

Powertop.
Powertop will show what is keeping the device from going to 'sleep'. The lines about C1, C2, C3 and C4 are the most important. Of these c4 ia the most important. Ideally, when 'asleep' the CPU should be in C4 over 90% of the time. The time in C4 mode should be above 1500ms. The more stuff you run at once, the harder it is for the CPU to achieve good sleep times.

what you are going to do:

1. Install pastebinit
2. Remove all widgets from the desktop.
3. Put phone in offline mode.
4. Turn phone off, remove battery for 20 seconds.
5. Replace battery and switch back on.
6. Tell phone to stay in offline mode.
7. Wait 4 minutes.
8. Open xterm and type:

9. Quickly lock phone and wait 4 minutes.
10. Connect your phone to the internet and type into xterm:

11. Paste the url here.
