Thank you a lot, Patrick i made it work with version 0.7. My fault was
that i did not set the non adresses ressources to 'none'.

I'll test it next day - it seems to be a very  good solution for
syncing the standard osso adress book. :-)

Options:
-your device is broken and needs to be repaired/replaced 
-you are running some broken 3rd party application/library (closing apps
is not enough)
-you have found some new interesting bug in our sw

you can have fun and google for details both in this ml and itt, but to
spare you the search, you have to:

-flash the standard image we release (not the leaked diablo for example)
-remove mmc/sd/whatever you have in the slot
-format to vfat the internal mmc in case you have an n810 and you
changed it to something else

If after this you still have problems, then the device is probably
broken.

If not then try reintroducing one by one your customisations and verify.

To give you an example (but i'm not pointing to it) omwheater used to
drain the battery dry.

I normally do that to my N800.  The battery lasts days, unless I 
inadvertently forget to shut down the screen.

I often have mine plugged in when I'm using it, and turn it off at
night or if I won't be using it for several hours. I've been following
this thread with interest, since I tend not to get much battery life
if I don't do it that way. I decided to do a little "test" on Sunday,
so I turned it on first thing in the morning, and never turned it off
all day. When I wasn't using it, I closed all open applications, put
it in offline mode, and locked the keys and touchscreen. When I went
to bed, the power meter said that it had 3 hours "when in use" and 5
days "when idle". When I got up the next morning, the battery was
completely down and the tablet had shut completely off. When I plugged
it in, I verified the settings, and they were indeed as I reported
above. Something is definitely not right.

The price that Nokia is charging for replacement batteries is highway
robbery, and prohibitive to have one just for a spare, which is what I
normally do with my cellphone. I swap batteries in my phone regularly
to keep the batteries fresh and active.

 Thanks, will do.  I think I'm going to reflash it (there's not that
 much
 to reconfigure), as well.  Though I suppose I should check the card
 format first, on the principle of perturbing as close to exactly one
 thing as possible between tests.

You should try using "Offline mode" from the power menu. Presence thing
in statusbar uses WLAN now and then, there are also some WLAN APs with
bad power management.

If that doesn't help, then you could try closing all applications
if you've left any open and disabling all Home applets.   As you
don't have really much 3rd party stuff installed, that shouldn't
be an issue though, but if it affects things, we can go through
things you had open/enabled.

Only for real boot.

Thanks.  I seem to get various processes eating immense amounts of time
and memory when the tablet gets into wonky states, but I haven't found
what *triggers* it yet.

 It
 shouldn't eat >50% CPU for any longer period of time.  Interesting.
 I'd
 check if the card were properly seated, and I'd check the filesystem
 on the
 card (I believe it's possible to corrupt a FAT filesystem and end up
 with recursive directory loops).

The card checked out okay on windows, and the files all seem valid.  I've
reflashed, and installed even less than before (I'm putting things back
one at a time and waiting a while, to see when weirdness begins).

I haven't had one of the weird sluggish episodes (which is when I found
the various processes eating so much time) yet, but I do have the battery
running down in ways I don't understand.  Also I'll lock the screen and
put it down, and when I push power the next day get what I think is a boot
(does the progress bar go across the bottom of the Nokia logo screen for
anything except a real boot?).

So far all I've installed since the reflash (with what I remember as 51-3
of OS2008) is OpenSsh and FBREADER.  I'm in the middle of a book in
FBREADER, so that's the key application at the moment :-).

Good point, should have looked at that before.  I'll keep that in mind in
future (tablet is at home, I'm at work now).
