yea, found it, thanks
just re-installed profilematic, and is trying to make my maemo-scrobbler (or maybe other daemons too if I get this done properly) daemon to start manually only when I am charging my device. However, adding scrobbler.override to /etc/init/apps do not seem to work (appended "manual" to the .conf file directly doesn't work too).

Btw. i don't use none of this apps: fastern9, rocket, facebook app, wazap, profile or ringrestore, and any feed update is set to manualy, all background connections are off, no email client on use, where almost all of this activities i use webbrowser opera or firefox and not that much, but the battery drains within 24h only about 20-30% is left!
I use twitter but manualy connected and rarelly post any pic or tweet.

ran powertop? or energy profiler?
or have you at least run (h)top to see what is taking up all the system resources? if you don't have data pulled to ur device periodically, it shouldn't drain the battery?!?

can anyone install this from the attachment? i get 'invalid installation package'

just do in terminal as root: "apt-get install powertop"

That's almost as much as mine active. (Yes, it hasn't seen much use. )



On my main phone which I actively use the idle power consumption ranges between 3-14mA. I'm usually online with XMPP enabled in the default message client, but not much other additional things are running. Maybe an ssh connection to the server where I run screen+irssi.

Sometimes I listen to music or FM/internet radio when the phone is in LPS mode, which raises idle power consumption as seen by budaemon considerably (to 30mA+ IIRC). Though one can debate if listening to music can be considered as idle or not.

Pretty much all the IM's work thru XMPP transport, which is done on the server side, so there is no need to have additional clients running even if you are online on several networks (ICQ, Facebook, Twitter, GoogleTalk, MSN...). Dunno if whatsapp works through it, probably not and I don't care. (basically whatsapp devs just took XMPP, intentionally broke the compatibility and rebranded it.)

About powertop. I set it like this to monitor idle power consumption:
Then close the terminal and put device into idle. After few minutes i wake up the phone, open terminal and
to read the results. Writing can be done to the mass storage too, I suppose, I just used the ramdisk as I don't know any better. I couldn't figure out much from the output on N9 though as it seems already quite well optimized. I made /usr/bin/smartsearch unexecutable, which probably saves some juice and few times i've spotted some runaway process (fennec mostly), which i've then been able to kill.

(-s 30 flag means sleep 30s before monitoring and the redirection ">" just writes the results into a file. Brackets "()" and "&" make the command run in the background so it won't get killed when I close the terminal.)

Also I'm now trying to group writes to mass storage to see if it has any effect (probably not much).

I wonder what is the power consumption with NITroid installed?
does it improve?

Powertop is giving me error installing, and Energyprofiler says failed to start "pluging wakeup", but thanks for your concern...maybe i have to refllash sens there something is not as it should be with this device!

I am getting the wakeup plugin warning thingy, but shouldn't make energy profiler useless AFAIK?!

waking uop this old thread.
Powertop is installed but i didnt can start it.
sudo powertop
sudo: unable to execute /usr/sbin/powertop: Operation not permitted

even con devel-su not working.

Some advice?
