Thanks for you post^^
I keep it in flightmode, so there is not active Wifi at all. The only time I use Wifi is when it is plugged in to the charger, simply because it drains the battery far to much and makes it die quicker. So this cannot be causing the problem, as it is not active
I have also just reflashed the device in an attempt to solve the problem, so there are no desktop applets and not status bar applets installed. In fact there is nothing installed on there accepted what it came with, besides this rootsh and I just installed.
Are there any other things besides extra programmes or Wifi that could be causing it?

yup, let us know if it helps with your battery problem - if not, you may as well switch it back on just so you know everything is normal and you can rule it out as a potential cause of any future problems.
dont forget to restart your tablet before you test the battery life otherwise meta crawler wont be switched off.
p.s. welcome to linux, you're one of us now.
I totally didn't think to reset it until you said it! I'll let you know how it works out soon!! Right now it's saying less than an hour, so until it's charged up again, I can't really tell

In my experience the built in mail application can kill a battery quick if the following happens

He's never seen the inside of a draw!I always do my best to shut off it off before it dies, but it dies so quickly of late I don't get a chance.
The battery can't have gone bad!! I only just bought it!! It's not even two weeks old!
Unless it a dud!!

My brother's lasts somethign crazy like 12 days when idling... but then i don't think he runs OS2008, nbut uses something different.
The only aplications I had were Usb control (which on a totally unrelated matter won't reinstall after the flash), xornal and maemomapper, with flite. Oh and tuner. there were a few others but they were games
open up one of your accounts (assuming multiple accounts). If it lists the number of messages in the right pane but does not actually show the messages, you're in for a dead battery shortly. I discovered this after a number of times where I would receive no e-mail for hours and then the low battery warning. I've only been able to rectify this by rebooting the tablet, though I'm sure there is a way to restart the the mail application from the terminal.
