Serial-console R&D setting will definitely drain your battery and if you don't have anything connected to the device serial connection pins, it will cause random reboots and other funny effects (because random serial input sometimes manages to match SysRq keyboard shortcuts). Note that R&D settings aren't cleared when the device is flashed and in general users should have any need for them... > But thank you everyone for your help! - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

But I didn't use any swap file. Anyway, seems that disabling R&D mode fixes the problem. Moreover, besides having that mode, I had activated usb-host-mode and rd-flags=serial-console, so I'm not sure if some of this sets were draining the battery. But thank you everyone for your help!

Re: Battery drain with Diablo 4.2008.23-14
RD-Mode is an interesting one. All enabling it does is set a flag in the CAL. The bulk of what happens in in /mnt/initfs/linuxrc and /etc/rc2.d/S99ttyusb0 which just read that flag and do things if that flag is set. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

This usually means that some process in the device is waking up at about second interval (which doesn't really show up in top unless it does also something else). When the device is in offline mode with MMC out, if you run "top" in XTerm, does anything else besides the top, xterm (maemo-launcher) and Xomap show up using *any* CPU?

Battery drain with Diablo 4.2008.23-14
Hello, maemoers! The battery of my N810 lasts a day after reflashing it with Diablo version 4.2008.23-14. Really I don't know why this happens. I've googled and seems this problem is reported in several places. Moreover, after a full recharge, I've flashed it, put the device in offline-mode and removed the MMC card. Without using the device at all, after one day it powers off due to lack of battery. I've repeated the process several times, even uninstalling all programs that comes with flash, and no luck. Any clue about why this happens? ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
