It seemed to me that omweather was eating up a bunch of cycles....uninstalling wouldn't solve it but reflashing did. Good luck
Also when it drained over night, the tablet was OFF. So could a 3rd party app be running while off? Plus I haven't installed anything yet, as Iam waiting for os2008.
Thanks.
Also the 800 is just sitting in standby mode and has been since late last night, and it has drained by half. Definitely something at play here...

If you are handy with Linux/Unix, I have compiled a real ps which will tell the parent process (something the built in, busybox, ps won't do). You can find it at:

I hope this helps,

No...it should say "battery full" at some point. I would reflash the device and if you still have problems, return it as it is most likely defective (or at least the battery is).

hanks for the suggestions... I am still really a Noob with linux so I not really up to speed advance problem solving (windows no prob) so Iam not familiar with xterminal.
I will do a little more research and reflash and see if that helps. Is there a tutorial on how to reflash on ITT? I'll poke around and see. Cheers.

The battery drain issue is related to your wifi router.
You need to install osso-statusbar as an application. It allows you to monitor the processor activity of the unit. Install the statusbar, and then watch your CPU usage on and off wifi. If you connect to your router, and your CPU usage spikes, you have incompatible router settings.

Also as an update...I didn't reflash the unit, but restored factory settings check to make sure nothing was running in the background, but it still drained over night (whilst it was on, but idle). This screams of defective battery and or charger....
I think I am going to send it back for another.

If your 770 battery is still good, why not try popping that one in? (They use the same batteries don't they?) See if it exhibits the same behaviour.
2 glitches though.
Firstly, the charge indicator seems to continually show "charging". Even over night.
Secondly, the second day I charged it all day, used it for an hour and switched it off for the night (with full power). When turned it on the next morning it had one bar left???
Ant ideas? Is this a battery or charger issue. I don't want to exchange it unnecessarily but this behavior worries me.
