Hi everyone ...
since the battery problem is realy disapointing me , even since 5 full recharges the battary did reayl improve a bit , i had some thouts , why the battery is going donw so fast :
There is a gravety sensor in the n900 . So is it turned off , when the screen is off ? Or is it only on, when some programs want to acces on ot ?
And what is about Infrared ? is it turned off all the time , you dont need it ?
I just thout , the is a way to disable bluethooth , and a way do disconect wife and gps , and on my old smartphone , i had to enable infrared ; if i wanted to use it ...

Wow. How did you manage to spell "gravity" correctly in the topic title?
Anyway. Your point would be that the "gravity sensor" and infrared could be responsible for battery drain, a claim that could be easily verified. Get a vanilla n900 or reflash yours so that there is no 3rd party software. Switch off all radios and gps etc, charge the battery, then let it idle. If it's dead after a few hours, the accelerometer and infrared could be the culprits. If not, your theory would turn out wrong. Happy testing!
(spoiler: there are electronics in the n900 that consume a lot of power, but accelerometer and IR aren't with them.)

hmmm , i meant , that if i turn off every program an so on , reboot the device , turn off wife,gps; and all the stuff, even the phone(offline mode) it still uses a lot of power ...
after 6 hours running 6 % of the battary would be gone, so it would be empty afte 4 days ? but nokia says it last 11 days in ...

razialo, I don't know about your battery problem. but make sure wlan is turned off /not connected when you dont need it. its a huge power consumer. maybe you want to install "wifi switcher" for easy turning wlan on/off
