Happy owner of the N9 for a week, except for one problem which appeared yesterday. I enabled developer mode and installed all the extras it offered me; ever since then my idle battery usage has skyrocketed.

Screen brightness on lowest, timeout of 30s, closing all apps before I stop using the phone etc - I used to get approximately 20mA avg. idle consumption. Now it's between 55 and 70mA; and today the battery has almost completely drained with 1h 20min active use taking 39% and 12h of idle taking the remaining 61%. When looking in the battery monitor application, 7% of the idle battery drain comes from processor usage, the remaining 93% from "other hardware and services".

Does anyone have any idea what could cause it? I tried turning developer mode off, but it's to no avail.
I don't got an N9 but I've seen here on tmo that when you enable dev mode it installs and starts ssh-server which is REALLY STUPID! Those guys that want to log in to the phone with ssh should start it themselves because it will suck power as all daemons do. Other than that I can't see why the dev mode should suck more power. But start with stopping ssh-server and see if that helps.
