After this, and while I am preparing to flash the device, I've uninstalled the next apps:
- qtirreco (I didn't need it, not related but just in case, I note it)
- Wifi Switcher

And I still have (that I will uninstall if the situation does not improve)
- Queen BeeCon Widget
- Personal IP address
- ConnectNow internet connection switch

. After this, powertop again, pasted

Okey. Thank you again for these logs!

Just to be sure and make measurement repeatable & correct. I have to ask?
- You closed all other apps
- Opened xterm
- changed to root and executed powertop
- immidiately minimized xterm and went to desktop and locked it (with switch or double click power, it doesn't matter, but screen has to be blank)
- Left it on stable place (so that accel doesn't make any noise to measurements)
- after 1 minute opened it and took logs to pastebin?

Maemos own wiki gives pretty good measurement for pretty low activity state:
http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Software_...ement#Powertop
I bet that on those measurements there was no apps running.

So i repeated powertop on my own N900 and to my amazement total wakeups (last lines in powertop) were around 1000-800 in idle state. Rebooted my device and let it settle for 3-4 minutes so that everything is up and running. Made couple of runs of powertop and now i´m starting to get ~400 wakeups and most of time in C4 cpu state, which is pretty good and looks like my system is currently working as it should.

My setup currently
-2g connected
-no wlan connected or wlan search on
-no mail checkup
-no IM running in background (from your powertop log it looks like you have skype running?)
-No modified kernel(you have it, at least it looks like it?)
-Calendar widget, 2 desktops
-no bluetooth
-no gps

Next i´m going to turn stuff on and see what happens. On your system there is quite a much irq activity going on. I would recommend to reboot and do as i did and measure again. I´m sorry but this is only way to really learn your system. If this feel uncomfortable and stupid please just stop and use what ever feels best for you :P
