Reflashed my device entirely (both firmware and emmc) but it didn't help
Also tried removing some applications but it didn't help either... Damn strange... I don't think its a CPU thing, as sometimes - in BatteryGraph - I can see that the battery drainage is steady even though there's almost no CPU activity at all.

I wanted to try something I saw egoshin suggested in another thread:

It should save you a lot of battery over standby. I have increase more then 50%.

(Note: modest renice would work until you call e-mail GUI, after that it reverts back. I am working on it)
But I keep getting errors which says that "cat /syspart/applications/standby/background/tasks" and "ps | grep modest | cut -c1-5" are invalid arguments... Any ideas anyone? I'm practically willing to try anything, I have nothing to lose
