Also, does Jitsi for Android work for XMPP/Jingle video/audio calls?
No exact figures, but my experience is that IM eats battery at rate of 5 to 10 percent per hour, if the phone is otherwise idling (night). However I have both Google and plain XMPP (OpenFire server) online at the same time, and using 3gdata too.

I'll do a test next night with just good wifi and plain xmpp server, but so far IM online battery usage seems to be on the level of N9. Eg. not too good, and you'll be struggling to get through the whole day if you keep fiddling a lot with your phone.
