Hi.

After a reflash from a few weeks ago I noticed slightly worse battery life and from BatteryGraph I can see my CPU is constantly at 10-15%. I remember pre reflash it used to be basically 0 during standby, so I'm assuming this is the cause of my poor battery life.

Its not too bad- I can still use it, but I'm going away soon and really need a decent standby time.

Is there anyway I can identify the culprit process other than uninstall and reinstall 1 by one? (Not particularly good with this stuff so if you could give a simple solution it'd be much appreciated).

Thanks in advance!

Edit; I've tried looking with Conky, but it doesn't seem to be any of the most taxing processes, and I'm unsure how to get a full list/how to tell which one shouldn't be there.

Install Htop. Then press shift+t in Htop to sort processes by total usage of time.

This does not apply in two cases though:
1. The process starts and stops repeatedly.
2. The process running wild runs on top of hildon-processes.

As a rule of thumb to second one Xorg seems to be mostly in double figures or 2/3rds compared to hildon-desktop at least in my normal use. If it is on par with Xorg, you have some widget using cpu constantly.

The processes I have on top are in this order:
Xorg
Hildon-desktop
Browserd and browser
Bme-rx51

Hope this is of any help.

Thanks both of you for your help. I ultimately decided to just reflash everything, eMMC and all. Figured it was a chance to clear my phone of all the stuff I'd installed/done to it experimentally.
