OK, done that, thanks.
seems like maemo-launcher is taking 12% processor time doing nothing. Is it supposed to? -

I charged my nokia at work, so it was full at 17:15. I then put it in my bag locked. I got home, had dinner, chatted on the net on the powerbook. It is now 19:35, so 2:20 later got the nokia out and the batery meter is on half and says idle 3 days, in use less than an hour. Brightness is half (although it was off in my bag), wireless is on.

on my n810 , i always have it set on max brightness , though i do have the light sensor disabled as well so that helps reclaim a bit of cpu. in general , id say on mine , i could surf the web for at least 5-6 hours straigh with screen on max brightness before i need to recharge. what types of apps do you have installed that may be running in the background?

Virtually nothing yet, I have only had it a week or so.
I have installed a couple of text editors, maemo mapper, the C++ build tools, ssh, numpty physics.
Apart from ssh, I would have thought that the other stuff wouldn't be doing much unless I ran it.
It was second hand, although the previous user was far from technical (I suspect they sold it as it wasn't windows, as there were a few .exe files in download), so I doubt they put anything on it.
The battery life on the 770 was good, so I was suprised at how bad the 810 is.

I would also remove unnecessary WiFi networks from the device and try to test battery drain at different WiFi points. The reason I say this is my 810 will last at least 2 days of medium usage at my home, work, walking around.... but if I go down to my in-laws the battery will drain in a few hours because of the crappy crappy DSL/WiFi combo that Verizon hands out. I can reproduce the effect every time I go down there, I have to go offline or switch off the device or it will be dead before I leave.

It wasn't charging at the time, no.
There is only one wifi connection on the list, which is my current home wifi connection. It is a belkin N1, running in G mode.

Beware of measuring percentage of CPU use; 12% at 166 MHz is about 5% of total capacity. (And I'm assuming it was at 166 MHz, but if it's idle, it probably was.)

Well, it wasn't idle, it was running top! But yes, I see your point.
Maybe my battery is duff, but the machine is pretty new, it would be suprising if the battery was that bad that quickly
