More data in case it matters: My N800 is configured to connect automatically through WiFi or manually through Bluetooth. Yesterday I was out of WiFi range so used my BT cell link before disconnecting and going to standby. So the dormant device had no connection to keep alive. I wonder whether this caused the daemon to get hyperactive in its attempts to stay connected...

Thanks for the feedback jpj. I wonder whether the connection keepalive code should be in there in the first place, as it's not really part of the core functionality.
Could you (or another reader) test the 770 version on the 800? I removed the connection keepalive stuff from that version, and if it runs on both devices it might be an alternative for those who are having battery issues.

Arnim, thanks for the quick response. The 770 acmonitor 0.1 works fine on my N800: brightness levels and timeouts follow the adaptor state. I'm heading out tonight to another place where I haven't yet configured my WiFi access, so I'll hold off long enough to duplicate yesterday's actions under the same conditions. If the battery still runs down in standby, I'll know to look for another culprit. But if I was a betting man, I'd wager that you've nailed it. Will report back.

Well, apparently I was mistaken about the battery eater. Even with the 770 acmonitor 0.1 (no keepalive code), something else is still sucking it dry in the idle (screen and keys off) state: Six or seven hours from full charge to shutdown. I suspect that 'something' could be the metalayer-crawler process chewing on the CPU.
I have literally 2,000,000+ map files on my internal 8GB SDHC card (reformatted to 2K cluster size), so if the crawler is walking that tree, it's likely to die of exhaustion before finishing. What fun! Suggestions, anyone?

I just found the source of the problem...
When I use to put the N800 to charge powered off the light will dim and eventually turn off.... Now since the dim settings change and acmonitor is active the screen light remains ON causing the N800 to take longer to charge... a big no no this could cause major damage to the battery and screen since the screen is pretty much on all the time..
