I am having the same issues. I upgraded to Diablo last night on a full battery. set up a few things on the system (OMWeather, GPE) and then went to bed. This morning i noticed it had powered down. I did leave it online, but should have still had power after only 6 hours.

My battery life is BETTER with Diablo than OS2007. I went all weekend without charging.
And that is with WiFi, Bluetooth, RSS feeder, and Gmail checker running.

WRT Modest - No, I've not even run it (I use webmail isntead).
Have checked Wifi settings aren't set to auto-connect, so if it is, its doing it despite control setup.
I'm glad I'm not the only one, unfortunately its rendering my tablet virtually useless.
I'll run through the other suggestions and see where I get to.
Thanks for the suggestions.

The browser (and anything else with a timer) also stops dyntick from slowing the tick rate. If I leave a browser window open all night the battery will probably be flat the next day.

Have your tablets reverted to being able to make automatic connections after the flash?
This is a killer, especially if you don't realise that your tablet is sitting on the 'net all night long.
I did find that when I was experiementing with getting bluetooth PAN working, that there was a daemon which seems to be chewing through the battery. I dumped that (for now) and now I have pretty good battery life with Diablo.
You may want to try a real version of top to see what is eating your cycles. You can get a real version (with a real PS too) from:
http://www.makikiweb.com/n800/downlo....2.7.armel.deb
I renamed the utilities so as to not clash with the built in ones, so run rtop and rps after installing.
I hope this helps,
Craig...

That's no possible. Last OS (Diablo) is less than a month old and new N800s are not available since before that.

I have a N810 and when fully charged it shows "7 hours when in use".
I think N800 and N810 should have a similar battery charge.

That mostly covers it.
