please suggest me all the things i can do, i've kp 53, my batt lasts for 2 hours thats it, without keeping any apps open, please help

seanmcken, install kernel-power-settings. IIRC, your device gets automatically undervolted after installing KP by SmartReflex, but I may be mistaken... Anyway, open x-term (CTRL+X) and type sudo kernel-config show , and copy-paste output here.

Also, SmartReflex may be total failure (for my device it is, at least), and you can try undervolting manually, using available profiles or creating your own. sudo kernel-config load lv for a bit lower voltages.

Finally, what about your battery? Is it new or old, what brand it is, did it behave different prior to installing KP?

current kernel configuration:
current frequency: 500
supported frequencies: 125 250 500 550 600 720 805 850 900 950 1000 1100 1150
min. frequency: 250
max. frequency: 500
avoid frequencies: 125
active frequencies: 250:30,180 500:48,360 550:54,400 600:60,430 720:60,430 805:60,430 850:60,500 900:60,500 950:60,500 1000:60,500 1100:72,520 1150:72,520
SmartReflex VDD1=1, VDD2=1
governor ondemand: ignore nice load= 0, up threshold= 95, sampling rate= 300000, powersave bias= 20

seanmcken, try typing:

sudo kernel-config limits 250 600
sudo kernel-config load lv

First will restore max frequency to 600 (as it should be).
Second will be a little undervolting without SmartReflex.

You didn't answer about your battery... Anyway, N900 is quite power-hungry. Managed to get less than 3hrs on cheap chinese Gold battery (1300mAh) for N900 overclocked to 900Mhz @ ulv profile (that's same voltage at 900MHz as stock 600MHz, and slightly less at other frequencies) while it was loading torrents via crappy 2G connection. If you use microB, especially with adBlock, it will get hot and may discharge even faster.

but smartflex some people said its good for battery right?

seanmcken, it should be very good, theoretically. There's no 100% guarantee your device will work better with it that without it, however, so why don't you try executing those commands and see what happens. =) Also, it'd help if you finally provide information about your battery. =\

Yes, after FMG sorted it.

At 2 hours run time you have a dud battery (they get that way even if good to start with) or IMO (it would really have to be an old / rubbish battery for just 2 hours), most likely some rogue process.

And really, when folk try to help, answer them. Take time, read the answer...

I've found that since updating to the latest CSSU-thumb, /home/user/MyDocs is no longer mounting automatically (i.e. the problem started upon rebooting after installing the latest CSSU-thumb).

This isn't too bad as I've been mounting it manually upon boot, but I've since noticed that the Backup program no longer works correctly either (it reports "Unable to perform operation" "Internal error").

I thought this might be related to some other mounting issue, so I've been trying to figure out how automounting works on the N900 (seemingly not with /etc/fstab). Maemo forums/wiki lead me to think that /usr/lib/genfstab.awk is responsible, but I do not have that file!

So, here are a few questions:

1. Should I have /usr/lib/genfstab.awk?
# ls -l /usr/lib/genfstab.awk
ls: /usr/lib/genfstab.awk: No such file or directory

2. Just as a sanity check - what is the latest version that I should be seeing as installed?

# dpkg -s mp-fremantle-community-pr | grep Version
Version: 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo10.1+thumb0

I ask this because I can't find any references to 10.1+thumb0 anywhere other than my N900!

3. Any other ideas?

Thanks very much!

PS
All filesystems appear to OK otherwise - no read/write issues once mounted, nothing in dmesg.

PPS
Please let me know if I should make a new thread for this issue - I have no idea if it's really CSSU-thumb related.

Check in /etc/fstab and read the comment. If you want a static fstab just add/edit "genfstab=0" to /etc/default/mount-opts-overwrite.

I do not have the genfstab.awk script you mention. I do have CSSU thumb (but not the metapackage so don't know how up-to-date you may be).

I have seen the comment and have considered following its suggestion, but I'd rather fix whatever has broken and keep doing things the "Maemo" way.

Thanks for checking! Perhaps forum/wiki references to that file are out of date...
