1. I have no active tasks running and no widgets
2. The device was locked with no apps or widgets running
3. I noticed the device was warm in the case and the home screen was on. The power button does not touch the top of the case.
4. No apps show active on the app/task screen (when pressing the six block icon in the top left corner)

When I type "top" in the terminal, I show the following two apps sucking my battery dry. This is not the first time this has happened.

Main CPU hogs:

user stat rss mem cpu command
user s 21936 8.9 90.4 usr/sbin/browsersd
pulse r 83108 33.7 6.7 usr/bin/pulseaudio


What causes this and what are these resource hogs doing when I have nothing showing as active for apps or widgets? The battery drained to 50% in the two hours it has not been charging.

I have installed zero apps that have not been in the "safe" repositories. Actually, I have installed hardly any apps since not many to choose from in the first place.

pulseaudio routes the audio/sound it think? my guessing is it is like the Sound card driver running on a pc? - a dev should be able to answer that a lot clearer though

No idea on browserd - apart from a guess at web related possibly?

i think its "browser daemon", its maybe a component of MicroB. And yes, pulseaudio handles sound.

I think I figured it out. It was a Flash game that was launched outside of the browser. I killed the game, but it was still active. The game is called "Afterglow". Avoid, since it appears to stay in memory and running as a task even when closed.
