You are forgiven, son


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:

Code:

Powertop 1.13.3
status: Unknown job: pmtrackerdaemon
Sleeping for 11 seconds before sampling
Collecting data for 30 seconds
Sample interval was 00m 30s 31769us

     C1 |   2.3% |    2.4ms |   550 MHz |   0.0% |
     C2 |  65.3% |   21.0ms |   500 MHz |   3.6% |

A few guesses:
When googling I found that this has something to do with
/media/mmc*
and therefore MicroSD card.

I read that you took out your MicroSD card but did you keep it out of the device and did you try flashing it without MicroSD?

On some other place I read a connection to "LCD Backlight:" but I
am not a N900 hardware expert.

Googling I also found these threads:

What finally fixed it was deactivating my SipGate account. I have not yet tried to reactivate it with different settings to see if it is possible to use this without a pocket full of batteries, but for now my battery life is very good.

And of course I tried leaving it out of the device for long, it didn't help either
