Hi slender, here're my results (i did it 4 times), and i've read and followed your instructions from the 3 links you posted above, so i'm pretty sure it's accurate, btw this is gonna be a long post so plz bare with me

Here's some info about what i have on my phone and how i did the tests. Basically i did the test several times (around 7~8 times) and on average, i get about 2000 total wakeups. I only saved 4 of the tests i've done to a .txt file though. My phone was idle in all the tests i did. My WIFI is off, i'm using 2G, i'm using only 2 bars of the brightness, and have absolutely no apps/games opened or running. Also, i turned off the screen when powertop outputs the line where it tells you that it'll sleep for 11s and collect sample data for 30s.

2 of the results i posted above are done after turning my phone on, while the other 2 i kept it idle for 20 minutes and then run the test. I have NOT launched any apps during all this time, not even txting.


I have only 1 desktop, i disabled the others. I have the following widgets/shortcuts on my desktop:

caller ID display
OM Weather (manual update only)
microb
opera
firefox
conversation app (not the widget one that shows you a list of messages you have, only the one that launches the conversation)
note
htop
feedingit (a RSS app, but just like the conversation app it's only an icon/shortcut that launches it, it's not a widget that shows updates like OMWeather)
2 bookmarks saved from Microb
contact app
batterygraph shortcut app

3x apps from Jakiman's overclocking guide, here's his link:

and here's the picture showing the icons:

i'm only using the stock, ideal, the frequency display (does not have automatic update, you only click on it to check what frequency you're currently running on), and the battery display (so far the only auto-updating app i have other than OMWeather, which doesn't really count since OMWeather is set to manual update).



I have disabled the thumnailer options using tracker-cfg (followed the suggestions/guides posted by others), and i don't have much installed on my N900 either. I'm not using a memory card and have only used up 2GB, which doesn't really make sense considering that i don't have any music on there, only a few folders containing photos (but definitely not even around 300MB). And i've only just done a fresh reflash (including the eMMc) last week or so.


I don't even use my N900 for music or watching videos, i use it only for txting. However, the battery drains like crazy, especially after i turn the phone on as it'll drop by 5% for no reason, but this only happens sometimes. However, when i check the batterygraph, it always shows a steep gradient showing the battery being drained, whereas all the other graphs i've seen from other people show a steady normal line.....



Lastly, is there a way for me to output the list of apps i've installed?? Maybe you can check what i have installed and see which one's the culprit, but afaik i haven't installed anything bad, only the popular ones that people tend to download, nothing that's really out of the ordinary...


EDIT: added 2 more logs

i'll skip the Xorg part which i think has been beaten to death ad nauseam
and completely of topic in fact...

htop when started with it's icon in fact starts term-app-laucher (which gets installed as a dependency with htop even though it could work perfectly well with XTerminal (as MC or TestDisk do ))
however that may be, htop is branched from Hildon-Desktop thus the increased use of this process (which is in the end Xorg's implementation on the N900)
if you start X Terminal & become root before starting htop this disappears.
and of course never appears for top.
what you also need to consider is that htop itself uses quite a bit more resources then top due to its more complex interface...
try starting top while having htop running (from X Terminal) - this will give much more comparable values
