Can we try to keep the chafe to a minimum please? Many of the programs people are suggesting for removal have NO background running components (with the possible exception of the battery monitoring programs).

Removing things like installers, or tutorials is fine for trying to recover space, but they'll have 0 impact on battery use. And CLI programs like espeak, or manually triggered scripts like flashlight? What does that have to do with battery use? Nothing. I think the author would have noted if the device were babbling constantly or emitting a bright light.

The more likely issue is there something happening with hardware being triggered, based on the high IRQ levels and dss usage. It may be a bad wifi or APN entry, or a bluetooth device asking for ID every few minutes. Or, it could be a bad chip or micro switch, maybe the device is close to a magnetic source (like a pouch magnet, or a motor) that's triggering the micro switches? Running the hardware tester app may be a good thing to try as well if you're trying to avoid a reflash.

There's enough going on here that I think your real solution is going to be to reflash to PR1.3 to eliminate possible software causes. Espeak is not a default component, nor are at lot of the packages listed. There's a lot of stuff installed, and if you didn't install it then someone else did, maybe before you got the device.

If you just got it, and didn't put all this on it, it will be a *lot* easier to backup your data, reflash, and just put the stuff you want on, vs trying to undo all the changes someone else did. Also, if your issue is settings or hardware based (which I suspect it is based on the log), a reflash will help pin point that quickly, vs lots of trial and error.
