Sounds like your just disconnecting the WLAN or GPRS, hit the on/off button and you will see and "Offline mode" button on the right, then when you want to go back online do the same again but this time you will see a "normal mode" button

That is this bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3979

Although it is annoying to see the question, you can just press cancel as the autoconnect will handle the situation and you do not have to scan.

actually, it's this bug:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8090

the bug you're referring to is the second part of what happens. it shouldn't ask me to leave offline mode in the first place.

mhm... do you just disconnect or do you really go to offline mode?

also, what are the settings of your RSS-application? do you have the RSS applet on the desktop? does it auto-refresh?

im very annoyed about this sloppiness and therefore leave it on - usually charging overnight.
I confirm also not having this issue. For the record I do not use the RSS applet.

I searched for this answer when I got my N810. Unfortunately, I have never seen any hard facts. The consensus, dating back to the N770, is that keeping devices in standby for a day consumes less battery than booting up once because of the need for the device to load the OS on boot up. There are also suggestions, as mentioned here, that going to offline mode (which should shut down Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios) saves a bit of battery while in standby. As far as overall battery life over the years, it shouldn't make any difference.

Offline. I click the power button, then button just below 'Lock unit' (second down from the right).

I don't use the built-in RSS application.

My bluetooth is always off and my Wi-Fi is set to manual, only connecting when I request it to, yet I don't set the device to offline mode when I sleep. My method though mimics offline mode though... right? Or should I still be going to offline mode?

I mainly use offline mode to turn off the phone for the night, without turning off the N900. And if any other radio happens to be active at the time it'll also be shut off, of course.

hello,
i couldn't find a clear answer to the question, what's better: turning the device off by night or leave it in standby with all network stuff disabled.
did anybody measure it, for example with the battery graph app?
