My battery last approx 2hrs max. N900 is my main phone so i use it heavily. I have noticed that recently my battery has been dying more than it used to. A few months back i used to get 4hrs heavy usuage but now its 2hrs or so if im lucky.

I think my actual battery is dying because it is now only 1281 (mAh) at full capacity?

My wifi is always on, my 4 desktops are riddled with widgets. I'm thinking the battery drain has something to do with 'Desktop Command Widget' but not sure?

Does anyone know an application i can use to invesitgate battery drainage.

Is this normal?

Thanks

thats your 3rd post in the community ? how useful s**t face
and btw zetagi, i think you wanted to press the quate and reply button but your low IQ made you press thank you

nathaneous : you can use battery-eye and htop, some users here prefer conky

battery-eye offers some statistics. Here's mine:

I keep wi-fi always on, btw.

My battery lasts 24-36hrs on Wi-Fi (connected, collecting mail every 15 minutes, Skype/GChat for at least half that time, OM-Weather widget running). On GPRS, it lasts maybe 5-6hrs...

I use Titan's Power Kernel and some other tweaks to paging and stuff, and 2g-3g switcher, with PR1.3 (which itself made a huge difference to battery life).

@lunatik does battery eye identify what could be causing drainage?

thanks

Thanks mate, which one of those apps would help me identify app or widget thats causin drainage? Never heard of htop is that abbreviated for something?

i have 2 days (atleast, 3 days max rarely) on WiFi with SIP/GV registered and with no widgets.

moderate use: a tyipiical day in teh life of my n900:

unplug from charger at 8:00am
+- 30 of min skype calling,
+- 15 min of 3G calling
Wifi all day (only conected at home or office)
3G data not conected
+- 20 min MP3 audio
1 x sync

i get 7 hrs (some times less some times more)
wifi i think kills my battery as i talk more on weekends and am not connected to a wifi and my battery lasts 12+ hrs.

htop is available frm the repospls download
