under "device idle" in battery usage, what exactly are "other hardware and services"? my idle consumption is around 30 mA, and cpu usage is 11% of that ( avg 0% ... ). no background connections, on 3g.
any clues?
thanks!

in terminal:

top (enter)

check what process is eating your cpu (maybe meegotouchhome, maybe presenced, maybe smartsearch...)

I understand many Windows users love rebooting, but there's no need to reboot the phone after you make /usr/bin/smartsearch unexcecutable. Just kill the process. (killall smartsearch)

I never had an issue with smartsearch. High idle consumption can be caused by other things as well. Opera for example loves to eat away CPU even when running in background. And I've seen the mcompositor chewing on the CPU as well.

The top-command is indeed a good way to find the culprit.

The culprit was indeed smartsearch.. It's weird though how this issue started suddenly! :S

I used N9QTweak to change smartsearch priority and it went down.. now my idle is around 32mA (still high, but way better than before lol)...

You probably didn't type it correctly. File location is /usr/bin/smartsearch
So to make it unexecutable (-x) for all users. (a)
Code:
# chmod a-x /usr/bin/smartsearch
and then to force (-9) killing of smartsearch process:
Code:
# killall -9 smartsearch
