For people experiencing sudden battery drain.
Just something to let you know :
I experienced a huge battery drain since a few days ago... normally my n95 would last for about 2 days... with use of bluetooth, wifi, making phone calls, using the camera, etc. So i installed the nokia energy profiler to see what is going on.. it says its using around 0.51w of power on standby, and 0.57w with the backlight on, and 0.67w with the slider open (keypad on) The second thing i did was browsing the internet to see if there are more people with similar problems, and yea.. a lot.. Mostly u will see things like : - Disable GPS. - Check if bluetooth is off. - Set your wifi to minimum speed. - Put Display brightness halfway. - Use GSM instead of G3 - - - And so on..... Now, while nokia energy profiler says my battery will last for about 10hours (fully charged) i thought what the hell ?!?! thats not 48 hours... whats wrong ?!?! Here is a screenshot of the actual problem :  So i double checked, and disabled all of my programs (+startup apps) and also disabled bluetooth again,wifi,3G,GPS etc! Suddenly i bumped upon a stuck key inside my n95, the famous gallery button... (i never use it)  So what i did, i removed my back cover and started nokia energy profiler again... and ****, now it says 20:11 hours left (70% charged battery atm) Usage around 0.15W standby/no backlight, and 0.20W with backlight on, 0.26W with backlight+slider open (keypad on). Screenshot (solved problem) :  So if you have a similar sudden battery drain, be sure to check if there are no buttons continuously pressed... they will drain your battery 50% faster!!! I'm happy i solved my own problem, so the reason why i made this post is for people experiencing the same thing... also could happen with 3rd party covers!

Thanks, this is handy to know as it is not an obvious thing I would have looked for if this problem ever arises for me.
