FYI, the charger cable has been unplugged for 6 hours (the N810 was also most of the time in my pocket), and the battery is still full.

So, it could be a problem in diablo or in one of the applets that occurs from time to time. Or could it be the heat?

Einstein: E=mc(square)

I think heat is a form of energy. It happens to me on a couple of occasion. The tablet gets warm and the next thing, battery is gone.
And yes, it is a N810. And yes, it is pre-diablo. I have no squirt idea what is going on, it seems it is rare enough, as someone put in, I just move on.

Could be the problem here.

I didn't have any problem with chinook, but diablo came with the heat. It may not be a good idea to keep the N810 in one's pocket in a very warm room.

so ignorant... but you are right... just make a usefull comment or leave it. is it so difficult for you?

btt: i don't think that the problem is the general heat in a room or in the pocket, because the n810 itself gets warm like if it is runnig a resojrce-hungry program (video for example).
if you don't think that it is a problem with diablo, what think you then that it is?
for me the problem was away with flashing chinook back

problem appeared when I installed Diablo. But after a few battery cycles, it seems to have gone away so far. Could it be that this is a learning process to adjust consumption?
I am cautious however to switch wifi off ( BT always off, it s draining power like crazy), shut down all applications for the night. So this also can explain the disappearance of the problem.
By the way, same problem occured after Chinook plus huge problems in finding my wifi base. It improved with time too...

Hey vinc17, try to recreate your swap file. I had this once that the swap file got corrupted and used a lot of battery power.

1.Disable swap in the settings menu
2.Delete the swap file manually
3.Create a new swap file via the settings menu

Mabye this fix the issue for you as well. Do you have a spare battery to double check if maybe the battery(hardware) is damaged?

Another thing - how do you stop your network connections? Offline mode?

I don't use swap at all (and I've never used swap). So, this cannot be the problem.

No spare battery. But I don't think this comes from the battery, unless it got hot by itself for no reason.

Yes, as I've said in my initial post, no wifi, no bluetooth. More precisely, bluetooth is permanently disabled. Concerning the wifi, I disconnected in the morning (otherwise, it disconnects by itself when I leave home). I could check when I came back that it did not reconnect automatically (in case of a bug, because automatic connection is disabled).

Offline mode?
No offline mode. I just locked the touch screen and keys. Except when I had this battery problem twice, this is sufficient: the battery remains full after several hours.
