This behaviour might be the result of the battery's fuel gauge getting out of sync. See for example the section "Calibrate the notebook PC battery" here:

Of course, no one really knows how Li-Ion batteries work, so this procedure might lower you battery's capacity, instead of calibrating the fuel gauge.

So basically, it says to fully charge the battery, make sure the device doesn't go to sleep, while you fully discharge the battery, and then you fully charge it again. That doesn't seem so risky. Probably the easiest way to make sure it doesn't go to sleep and to make the battery discharge fast is to play a long video, right?

mplayer http://some.video.site/video.wmv
That should sap the battery quickly.

Running the Map application (with the GPS on?) seems to keep it "on" forever.

There is supposed to be some light sensor function with this advanced battery app, right?
I don't have that. I have an N810

And this feature (which I did a quick hack in python):
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=26445
Pause when the charger is disconnected and play when it starts (like when using a car charger).

But if your phone goes from 2 days to 1,5 days while you load it up every day anyway that is not an issue.
