I had the same problem and find this brute force approach effective: Reboot Measure during the first hours the normal battery depletion (say for instance 5% for 2h) When you see an abnormal depletion (due for instance to hildon-home), remove a suspiscious applet/widget randomly reset the hildon-home process with the following command as simple user: - /usr/sbin/dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home - /usr/sbin/dsmetool -t /usr/bin/hildon-home Go to step 3 until you found the culprit
