Check if it had WiFi connection "running" - my P1i once thought he was connected to home WiFi network (despite I was miles away from home) and ate battery.

Yes, I have to agree with Ares, it's probably the camera app in the background that drained your battery. It's the only reason for rapid battery drain in my P990i. But it doesn't drain your battery every time when you leave it in the background, the inconsistency baffles me.

Well, I always have the camera running in the background and have had no battery drains so far (have it for almost 2 months). I don't think that's a problem for the P1i.

Any application left open will 'eat' the battery. Yes,some more then others depending on the resources the os does allocate to it. Java programs are more resource intensive/slower then native symbian application. Even if a application is 'doing nothing' some interrupts/cpu time MUST be allocated to it ! The morale of the story is: If you don't expect to use a application in the next few minutes - CLOSE IT ! and restart it when needed.

the whole point of me having this thing is so I can have multiple applications open, thats what the bloody 128mb of ram is for!

i have everything open including the camera and only ever close Java apps!

Battery drain can be for so many reasons its hard to equate to one single reason.

I think the intention of the RAM is not for you to open many apps and leave them on in the background. It is more to solve the out-of-memory problem.
