Re: 400% battery performance improvement?

Yeah, Just wanted to see if it would go there. I scaled it back to 900Mhz. Good to know I can use smartreflex at that speed. I usually get ~24hr now with my usage.

Re: 400% battery performance improvement?

Smartreflex is, and was, always turned on. Maybe I'll poke at that after I reflash my n900 for other reasons... :(

Re: 400% battery performance improvement?

Hey all, just an update on my mysterious/miraculous n900 improvement.

The previous issues were not battery dependent. i can use either of my batteries and get 12+ hours of usage (vs 3-4 hours...

Re: 400% battery performance improvement?

It would drain if the battery was in it at all. Even if I removed it for awhile and then put it back in, without powering on, it would get warm and drain batteries.

Re: 400% battery performance improvement?

I do have speed patch & battery patch installed from back when I didn't know any better. However the battery life issues were the same with a clean reflash.

Whatever was eating batteries was...

Re: 400% battery performance improvement?

I have 2 bl5js. Both exhibited the poor battery life. I haven't tried my spare since this one got "better". Given the junk about battery calibration in syslog, I'd say something changed.

Re: High power drain when disconnected from charger

Well, I think I'm just gonna accept that I've got a hardware issue with my n900. It works fine otherwise.

To sum up for future reference:

Device drains batteries at 300-400 mA when disconnected...

Re: High power drain when disconnected from charger

I'll give your suggestions a try this evening (gotta get back to werk!)

I'm leaning toward B, broken phone, but it's not broken enough to toss it out. I got it as a refurb, so no warranty. Mostly...

Re: Autofocus not working anymore. :(

Just a guess, but since you're stuck here anyways, you might try opening up your phone and carefully reseating the camera connector.

Considering that dropping the phone fixed it for a bit, it...

I haven't tested after a complete reflash yet, but I have noticed that even after turning off the device, it stays warm and will drain the battery while "off".

So, My n900 eats batteries in 3-4 hours. Even when idle the thing warms my pocket quite nicely.

I've checked top and the cpu is at about 3-4% while idle.
