Check if the CallNotify was the problem (as long as it takes), if that's not it - try dbus-monitoring who is talking to mafw and pulseaudio.

It depends. By flashing you will generally have a clean system. But you would need to reinstall everything. And most game saves are not kept.

But flashing a Maemo device is quite nice. It's very easy to restore it unlike the N95. But try to remove some apps that may be hurting the system. And then reboot and leave it overnight idle (while you sleep). If the battery still drains you should reflash. If not then it might be an app you removed, or an app that when opened and closed stays open.

If you flash I would first .bin and then eMMC. Works for me.

Well, I removed callnotify and some other suspected apps like twitter widget. I'll leave it idle overnight then report back here. It's 1 am now anyway...

Thanks everyone for help.

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

If you never updated to the new firmware pr1.2, then I would suggest doing that.

That way you can start out with a clean slate and go from there. If you think it may be callnotify then wait a day after a full charge and see how the battery is then.

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

Wasn't there a thread a couple days ago talking about the twitter widget being horrible on the battery?

Thought so:

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

I updated to PR1.2 OTA. but i may reflash soon because i didn't flash emmc since i bought the device.

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

I did the manual install of the firmware to PR1.2 only, without backing up any of the installed software. Here is a screen shot of the BatteryGraph for the past 12 hours. Not sure if this this normal or not. For now im happy. I would be curious to see how others are doing with and without callnotify installed and see if that is the problem.

BTW chrome, I like the thread title. :D

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

Ok, i did some tests today, and here's my results:

IDLE #1: With Callnotfiy and twitter widget.
IDLE #2: Without Callnotify and twitter widget.

After removing some programs including callnotify and twitter, things became much better.

But 3 processes are still eating some CPU, i marked them here:

If i do killall Xorg, device restarts so i think it's essential for the system.
Hildon-desktop and Hildon-status-menu also using some CPU, when i terminate them, they reopen and continue using CPU.

Re: Who's drinking my battery juice????
 

Good to see you are making progress :)

Well... It probably sounds a bit too obvious....
Hildon-desktop - controls what runs on your desktop, therefore a desktop app or widget it using the cpu. (Would assume that to happen reasonably often?)

Hildon-status menu - Hmmm - controls the top left menu? - wouldnt have expected that to be running? - still sounds like a dodgy app in the background to me :(
