FYI. I did a similar test on a completely unmodified phone:

- logged in to gtalk, skpe via conversations
- Nokia Messaging check every 30 mins from 8am to midnight
- stock phone, nothing installed at all
- no other apps running

in 24hrs the battery had 28% left.

Contrast to the same test(as similar as I could) on the E71 (Using Fring for gtalk+skype), 59 hours to get to 30% left.
sounds a little power rangery the special power savings mode.

I have every option for power saving on and almost no apps installed. Even though installed if they dont run it wont matter (or i would like to believe this very bad because if so it would be a real shame) no weird apps, just vnc and fm radio player installed.

i am not going to degrade my own existence by switching to 2g only. emails do not automatically send receive and no nokia messaging or other background apps.

I tried SmartFlex - my N900 got a 32wd_to reboot (see bug 6334) in 6hours then I played with e-mail client and it was a very first time after I purchased N900 at the end of November I think it can be an answer to your question.

Set Automatic connection to your 3G provider, switch OFF-ON, after powering ON - kill WiFi by "stop wlancond", unload 3 drivers - "rmmod wl12xx", "rmmod mac82011", "rmmod crc7" and you would enjoy a 48h battery life (If you don't video, of course).

WiFi power drain is a cause of short battery life but not 3G. It looks like Nokia already fixed it ... but in internal release. Some people test it and reports a good results - see comment 58, bug 6615.

It would be nice to see if all n900's reboot in the same scenario when SmartFlex is turned on.

so you say after a reboot those 3 drivers and wlancond run and they suck my battery life?

But this will all be fixed in the next FW update?

Disabled SmartFlex, playing with e-mail and looking for reboot. So far (one day) - no reboots.

Looks like... even you don't use WiFi.

Some people was selected to test a new FW and reports it (see bug 6615).

Has anyone else noticed if snoozing the alarm clock has an effect on their battery life? I woke up around 6 this morning and my phone had finished charging so I unplugged it. Then my alarm went off at 9:00 and I pressed snooze about 4 times with 10 minute intervals. When I finally got up at 9:45 the battery was half drained.
