seems like maemo-launcher is taking 12% processor time doing nothing. Is it supposed to? -

I charged my nokia at work, so it was full at 17:15. I then put it in my bag locked. I got home, had dinner, chatted on the net on the powerbook. It is now 19:35, so 2:20 later got the nokia out and the batery meter is on half and says idle 3 days, in use less than an hour. Brightness is half (although it was off in my bag), wireless is on.

Was it charging at the time? Then the 12% usage was the battery applet redrawing the screen ( yeah, really ).

I would also remove unnecessary WiFi networks from the device and try to test battery drain at different WiFi points. The reason I say this is my 810 will last at least 2 days of medium usage at my home, work, walking around.... but if I go down to my in-laws the battery will drain in a few hours because of the crappy crappy DSL/WiFi combo that Verizon hands out. I can reproduce the effect every time I go down there, I have to go offline or switch off the device or it will be dead before I leave.
