so i updated my n900 from pr1.2 to pr1.3 the other day. my battery used to last around a full day even two with a lot of internet usage, but now with pr1.3 it doesnt even last a few hours in standyby mode, and it just about lasts the night while its turned off!!
is there a way to fix this and is there anyone else experiencing this??

no one can say anything. your question is like "I tapped a screen and something happened. what can I do?"

you could start with posting a list of installed apps.

for example in terminal:
Code:
dpkg -l > /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/installed_apps.txt
and upload installed_apps.txt from internal storage -> documents -path to here for example...

I'm not completely sure, but after the PR1.3 I think also my battery drains quicker than before. I am undervolting with the lv profile (the others doesn't seem to work on my device, it reboots). Still, the battery is eaten when I get home from work every day. Before it lasted at least a complete day, and sometimes even longer, I was happy with that.
There are some things I have discovered by time though:

Having either a weak 3g signal or wifi signal really drains battery like a monster. It is sometimes better to switch off wifi if the signal is weak.

Leaving the GPS on drains battery.

Now I am constantly at around 11-12 % of cpu in top. Maybe it's all the daemons I keep running, the hi-score-ones are:

Xorg (of course, would be nice to know what it is while no graphics activity, like top in terminal)
ohmd (what is that)
hildon-status-menu
hildon-desktop

Maybe reducing the desktop widgets can be a good thing also.

Someone else got any tips?

Simple answer is to re-flash.
Nokia's awesome software has screwed up your update.

ohmd might be the one to look at:

I generally try to run top ssh:ing to my N900 with screen off to observe cpu usage in idle. Possibly using usb-net instead of wireless might be even better.
