Need urgent help with serious battery issues
 
Dear Community,

I have since a few days serious battery issues because a process is stressing the CPU. Before I had even with several instant messengers enabled a runtime of 24h+, now it are only 2-3 hours~

Have yourself a look at htop (Sorted by load):

Screenshot of BatteryGraph (You see constant CPU usage):

(Is there any possibility to sort it by install order to see which were the last installed apps?)

I checked already other threads which suggested for example to disable "flashlight-extra" but I never had it installed so that can't be the cause of the battery issue.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Did you manage to make PC-Connectivity-Manager to work under Power Kernel? Mine works under the normal kernel, but never under power kernel...

I would suggest you to try to remove recaller and see what happens (once upon the time i guess I remember it associated with something like that in an old reflash). I was not able to see any suspicious known program (from me) - but now I have it installed just fine.

And, since when did it happened?

And I guess this can help:

It appears that every time you install or upgrade a package, a file named <packagename>.list is created in this directory or has its timestamp updated if it already exists.[]

If all else fails then just reflash
p.s. if you backup your apps when you restore only tick the important ones

Post up the output of
Code:

top
in Xterm so that we can see your processews and which ones are being used the most. You can also download powertop from the repos which would be better.

Once downloaded open terminal, type in

Code:

powertop
Hit enter, then close the keyboard and lock the screen, wait for one minute before doing ANYTHING with the device, then post the output here.

LMAO you're high, right vi_ ? Yet another "Battery Consumption" thread for you to feast your eyes on....

On a separate note I was wondering about your comment in another thread reference shops....? And individual pixels? I would have responded but I took the Photoshop screenie literally 5 minutes before finishing for the weekend and didn't revisit TMO til Monday - care to enlighten me as we hijack this thread?

If I'd have to guess, I'd bet on this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5427 Mar 19 12:20 /var/lib/dpkg/info/sleepanalyser.list

But isn't that only active when I actually start it manually? If its application related it must be one of the apps which got installed in the last 3-4 weeks~

...or updated in the last 3-4 weeks, surely? And those would be?
