Iīm going to sleep next so sorry for my rather rude output.

From where did you install power kernel? Do you have devel repository enabled?

Looking your powertop output with my ear it screams that something is fck up if it really represent your idle state. btw. itīs always good to run it couple of times to see that you get some pretty constant values.

So to ask obvious questions:
-Did you first remove all widgets from desktops
-Closed all apps
-went offline
-No daemons running (I have batterygraph and it seems to effect very little)
-Acted with powertop as I recommended in my link

(Probably shutting down, removing battery for 10 mins, rebooting and letting it calm down for 5-x minutes, depending on how long tracker runs AND then running powertop couple of times to get idle state value is good way to start debug)

I tried powertop and my statistics are currently following
Total wakeups 531 = IRQ 415 & Timers 116 and CPU is most of time (90%) in sleep C4 and rest of time in C3 and only fraction in couple of others and none in C0
Only additional thing I have running is batterygraph daemon. I have not installed any apps that install tweaked kernel so PR 1.3 official kernel.

I tried uninstalling Catorise, and reinstalling hildon-desktop - both did not help...

Well, as I mentioned - that powertool dump has probably caught the moment when my CPU raised and started sipping on my battery. Here's another dump with a more 'subtle' behavior:

I of course tried removing all my widgets (all I had was the SMS conversation, Dataplan monitor, calendar and music player - all of them were widgets which I ALWAYS used, even prior to the problem specified in this thread) but it did not help...
The power kernels which I was using were of course downloaded from the extra-devel repo...

Anyways, thank you guys for trying to help - and if anyone couldn't find the cause for this, I'd probably just reflash and this time will reflash the eMMC as well (though I'm not quite sure if it'd help at all)...

Hmm. As you can see the cpu is pretty much idle but there is huge amount activity in IRQ.

Maybe itīs time to list your programs:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=783088&postcount=2

Check what kernel you have
uname -r
command should give you 2.6.28-omap1

.edit
do you have memory card plugged in?

Yeah, according to those powertops.. something is not right. Could start up Top and paste the log here?

1. top
2. press "m" to put the most memory hog at top
3. copy/paste here
4. press "p" for processes
5. copy/paste here

And a dmesg would be nice too...

1. dmesg > /home/user/MyDocs/dmesg-log.txt
2. attach it here...

Well since copy-pasting top from terminal was kinda tricky (kept refreshing the screen and de-selecting the text) I just took a screenshot, which I hope will suffice.
This one is the one with the sort processes by memory usage:



And this one is sorted by process usage:

Sorry.. forgot to mention "q" for quitting Top. Anyway... could not see anything directly wrong. Only that simple-fmtx-widget are a little famous as a battery drainer. So you might wanna try to uninstall that and use QBW instead.

I had a similar issue and the problem was Catorize and later flip clock.
Catorize was a real nightmare for battery

Well I uninstalled Catorise but it didn't help... Needless to say, Cathorise was definitely not the problem (though I did remove it just to make sure) as I had it installed for a long time by now, and it worked ok and my battery was functioning well too...

Hi,

I don't know if it is this but it seems your
/usr/sbin/browserd -s xxxx -n RTComMessagingServer
is running a little too high in memory and CPU.

Quick search, I see here other people having the same problem and quick battery depletion. e.g.:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61006

Other thing to try is also to remove programs one by one and see when/if this solves it.

good luck.
