*facepalm*

The worst thing is when you do something totally out of line, then you keep insulting people that are REALLY contributing to that thread. By the way, i was - just like ndi - hoping that mod will clean this thread - actively hoping, cause reported all insulting/harmful posts - but mods seem to be totally absent here for a quite long time.

Now into real thing - i followed Colin's discussion with Pali and I'm not sure if Pali understand why this module should NOT be loaded. Probably thats why, in opposite to other kernel versions, suddenly we got it loaded until blacklisted.

The question is, why yasirrfc got this module loaded even if blacklisted?

yasirrfc, can you please do:

leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

And check if module is really blacklisted without any typos there? Please, check triple for typos, cause it seems like that is the case.

Also, it comes to my mind that maybe You wasn't rot when editing and ignored "permission denied" reply, so module isn't blacklisted for real? Anyway, content of Your blacklist will tell us, so please copy it from N900 and publish here.

//Edit

As for Your question - it shouldn't increase battery life, but it is possible (though rather uncommon) that it interfere with charging calibration and charging at all.

By the way, if You feel that battery is draining faster, please measure it with dr_frost graph, or script that monitor current_now - other way it didn't exist (i agree here with vi_ - yea, we can still "work together" even that You (vi_) are d*ckish, you know?).

Most of the times when someone report higher battery drain - and someone report it ALWAYS when we talk about more popular kernels/.programs/tweaks/new N900 leather cases / whatever - it is subject feeling / higher usage cause you play with new options/ something else is draining battery, like new unneeded widget on totally forgotten 7th desktop etc... "Placebo'ish" of that is exactly the same as reports that phone become "snappier".

After blacklisting that sucker here's how my battery graph looks today.

I've zoomed out so you can see yesterday's 3 hours of standby from 75%-ish to 0. And interestingly, overnight it held its charge well also, so my suspicion is not that it drains any faster perhaps, but that the modules messes up the calibration between actual and reported charge, as others have explained. So perhaps the charging process is being told the battery is fully charged when actually it is far from it.
