I have the same problem as zifis. I've noticed it this morning. Yesterday night the battery was almost full. This morning it was almost completely empty. I had the 3g on, but the other settings were tuned on total power saving mode. I've downloaded the "2g/3g switch toggle" and now I'm waiting to see if the 3g was the problem...although the problem of the battery drain bug still remains I think...

I haven't been able to reproduce it, it's quite rare and random. Rebooting helps if it is pulseaudio. Normally you shouldn't see it all in top unless some audio is playing.

Did it happen after the firmware update?

It could be a bug. would recommend removing the widget as well for a day or two to check.

I removed the media player widget and rebooted, hope it works

The thing is though that I bought this phone so I could customize it according to my needs, not the other way around!

I hope it is a bug and will be fixed in the next update, otherwise it is pointless to keep my N900...


Thank you all for your suggestions and help!

Quick tip: WiFi eats a lot of battery, even when it's not connected to a specific network. Also, some applications change the settings for you WiFi connections, from "on demand" (in my case) to "automatically" so you may want to check that too.

Have you taken out the battery?

I experienced something similar and a battery-pull put things back in order for me.

Good idea Death, I will try that too

I dread the thought of a H/w problem! ΝΟΚΙΑ technical and H/w support in Greece is indescribable...
