battery drains faster after the latest update
 
i charged my phone from 24 hours which is 1 day , i barely used it from some chatting msn , and couple of surfing , and sent like 4 sms, i only put wifi on when im using the internet, however the battery now is empty :\ before the update the battery used to stay between a day and a half and 2 days without excess usage what happened in that last update??

you could install "battery-eye".
this app records your battery status in a graphical way.
so you could just post a screenshot after one day or so.

when you have activated/started your typical apps
you can also open xterm and type "top".
then look a few seconds at the cpu usage and which programs are cpu-hungry.

everything's fine here.

so you may want to install "battery-eye" via app-manager.
it's in extras-testing.

that's what it looks like:

There is also an app called BatteryGraph. Shows voltage/current etc over 1,2,4,7 days. No need to have the app running also. I like it.

Here you go. =)

It starts recording the data soon as the app is installed.
No idea how it does it but it does. Pretty cool.
I also like how it can show various history lengths.

I wonder if having both BatteryGraph and BatteryEyeinstalled is not a good idea?

i think there should be little faster battery draining as every additional app running will need some cpu. but i would think this wouldn't be noticable.
because they are only reading the status i don't think there are any problems running them at the same time. :)
(without guarantee ^^)

but mhm... why are there flat lines on the graph?
what did you do during this period?! o.O

Yeah. There is one problem with this app. It doesn't show what the Y axis is and what gradient it is..
Maybe it doesn't draw the graph with as much fine gradients as the Battery Eye app.

or... Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it doesn't actually run in the background collecting data during IDLE/Screen Off.

I think the problem is you need to reset your N900 once ever 2days other wise there will be memory leak and battery drain. Mine seem to be like that after 2days uptime.

Hmm. I like the Battery-eye better. It has smoother graph.

Anyways, I'll have both installed for today and see how they compare. =)

i'll stick to battery-eye.
its recordings seem to be much smoother and more precise.
only hoping that it's getting the option for showing 1, 2, 3... days. :)

I f you un-comment these lines in "/home/opt/battery-eye/beye.py"

Code:
#        self.filters.append(hildon.GtkRadioButton(gtk.HILDON_SIZE_AUTO, None))
#        self.filters[3].set_label('1 day')
#        self.filters[3].set_mode(False)
#        self.filters[3].connect("clicked",
#                                lambda button: self.graph.changeVisibleHours(25))

#        self.filters.append(hildon.GtkRadioButton(gtk.HILDON_SIZE_AUTO, self.filters[3]))
#        self.filters[4].set_label('3 days')
#        self.filters[4].set_mode(False)
#        self.filters[4].connect("clicked", lambda button: self.graph.changeVisibleHours(25*3))

#        self.filters.append(hildon.GtkRadioButton(gtk.HILDON_SIZE_AUTO, self.filters[4]))
#        self.filters[5].set_label('7 days')
#        self.filters[5].set_mode(False)
#        self.filters[5].connect("clicked", lambda button: self.graph.changeVisibleHours(25*7))
It should give you what you need!
