hi , my n900 in consuming baterry very quickly , i've installed a widget to see the cpu usage and mem and it tells me the cpu its always at 100% and mem going from 105 - 165MB ,

how can i see whats useing the cpu so much and how can i see at what speed is set my cpu ( i've seen on post here before that it could set it self to 250mhz )anyway i'm a novice user and havent got many things installed.. anyway i havent got many apps running and took all my IM widgets from desktop , well this is weird.. one buys the phone for some inteded use and then u cant use it becouse u have no batery.. thanks for the answers

@madehhh
Just run top in terminal. It will show you which process is occupying your CPU. Or you can just make a screen shot(Ctrl+Shift+p) of the terminal with top running and post it here. Someone will help you.

sorry cant screen it , how can i pass it to the pc?or how can i post it directly from my n900 ?

edit : anyhow it show cpu 73% usr 26.1%
%cpu, logf-12% - and all the rest is under 1-2%

@madehhh
Just press Ctrl+Shift+p on your N900 keyboard when you are running top in terminal. That will make a screen shot and put it in your gallery. Then you can get in on your PC and post it here. Or post it directly from your N900.

Check out 22.09.2010 21:00 to 23.09.2010 08:00 on picture.
It would be nice if every night battery consumption is like this


On 21.09 i was online with Jabber all day. But with 2G and mfe always connected from 8:00 to 20:00 I usually get 2 days of use.
And there is at least 30min of calls each day.

i took out an app i had called flashlight extra and VOILÁ! CPU usage down to 5% and baterry since yesterday nidnight until now at 60 % 18h 40% used only

I am getting good battery life after i did the following thing

1 Install this software.
2 Charge ur n900 switched off, usually one hour b4 going to bed.Once the green is on. on it and see it for your self.

you don't even have to worry about switching to 2g and 3g. i get normal 12 hours + of normal use( web, music, calls). hope it helps

Thankx to debernardis for such a good software.

Thanks for linking to debernardis' work too! I'm surprise that the laptop mode is OFF by default! By turning it on, not only it'd save battery, but also reduce the write to the internal flash thus extend its life.

Thanks!

I have a N900 and my problem is that once I charge the battery it shows 100% (what is OK) but after that it doesn't show drainage of the battery. About 5-6 hours later the battery just dies (I use 3G connection at all times so I am not complaining). The problem is that the battery indicator has only two stages 1: FULL 2: RED 1%?

Is this normal? Maybe I have a fake battery?
