I have noticed an increase in posts about battery related issues in the past several weeks.

After pulling my remaining hairs trying everything including a reflash and putting no applications on the n810 and when my problems didnt go away I bit the bullet and bought a new battery.
my tablet started having issues when the battery was about 10 months old (or new)

since replacing it with an oem battery purchased on amazon i have not had a single issue. i bought my tablet end of november 2007-

just an idea to pursue....

im considering it as i bought my N800 used. but im not sure what battery exactly is in it, as i had a wsod 770 that had the same type of battery, and i tried to swap them around for a while...

could maybe do that again, but its quite possible that i have damaged the stored battery as i left it on low charge (not sure, been a while).

I doubt that 15 seconds are needed to load the interpreter. Or is python so inefficient?

I've made debian source packages for advanced-power & advanced-power-monitor for the Mer project:
http://repository.mer.tspre.org/pool...dvanced-power/
http://repository.mer.tspre.org/pool...power-monitor/

If you have any plans to get it in extras, thought it may help. Also, I've made it use the proper method (well, I guess one clean method) of introducing new gconf keys to the system - a schema file. dh_gconf run as part of rules adds entries to postinst etc automatically which imports the schema file when installed.

advanced-power-monitor is basically like your original package except I get dh_installinit to add entries to the postinst which make the symlinks in rc2.d etc to start apmd up automatically instead of having raw symlinks in the package.

Try run mplayer or media player or any av files, mine would battery would go belly up very soon.... How long can your NEW battery run, try leave it on WorldTV99, after a complete fresh charge up?
TIA,

Just for comparison, my battery that came with the unit is 9 months old, the backup (original nokia) 6, I don't swap that often (maybe once a week), and get a very similar performance from both, about 4 hours of mplayer video playback (with my admittedly re-encoded avis).

Good to know. I have my original battery (bought my n800 the day before they were released) and I generally play high quality videos or streaming audio at work. It will only play audio for a couple of hours, and if I try to download a file via the network from one of my shares, I will almost kill the battery for 500 MB download. So, perhaps time for a new battery. Granted this is all quite anecdotal, but I have noticed that "it sure isn't what it used to be".
