It's a common problem on this device. Some process(es), usually the hildon-desktop or the media tracker, spikes cpu usage, making it all warm and toasty and drains the battery.

Your best bet is install battery-graph and try to understand the device's behavior. Also, have you installed the power kernel?

Use power search. You can find it from right side of this forum. Try to give yourself 30 minutes of time and read, read and read.

Uninstalling don't delete that file, and that is the missing piece needed to stop the battery drain.

In the terminal:
sudo gainroot
rm /etc/event.d/apmonitord

Do you got a space between rm and /etc/event.d/apmonitord? Dosenīt look like it anyway! But i donīt know if its a file or a folder, if its a folder then the right command should be rm -r /etc/event.d/apmonitord

The thing is that you must be root to get rid of that file, you got rootsh right? You can use filebox or quteexplorer if you want to use GUI instead of the terminal (but you must be root).

sudo gainroot
quteexplorer
navigate to the file and remove it.
