@jalyst blame me for the reopening of this thread, but the "epic" thread is removed - available only through google cache... I'd really like to make n9 more useful waiting for PR1.2 - sharing my experiences could only help...
btw this morning I've unplugged the charger, 3G was on, Skype not logged - steady 19mA... about 1h ago, Skype account logged in - idle consumption slowly increasing, now already at 32mA... would be useful if some other IM plugin existed that could connect to skype account, just to check the situation then...

Well, if the "Epic idle drain consumption" thread wasn't deleted maybe the OP & myself wouldn't need to post here.
I feel like I'm feeding a troll (jalyst) but I don't think it's your place to police EVERY thread, both here & FMC
The mods need to explain that, it was a very important repository...
The point I raised was quite valid, & was not in anyway an attempt to "troll" as you characterize it.
But as the suitable thread's been deleted, I can understand why this one's been commandeered.
*UPDATE*
Sent a PM to one of the mods asking what happened, & if it can be restored, below:

For some reason a very high volume & important thread, went AWOL.
It was the idle consumption thread in this sub-forum:
http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=51
I forget it's exact name, but I think the URL's mentioned here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...68#post1151468
This was a very important thread...
As it documented pretty much every known issue causing high battery drain.
Do you know who's deleted it, and why on earth would they have?
Perhaps it was an honest mistake...
Mods often move threads from the N9/N950 to the MeeGo/Harmattan sub-forum.
Maybe they removed it from the former, but forgot to put it into the latter?
Please can you help everyone by restoring this thread!?
It was a very important repository of info for the community!
Thank-you.

I'm still waiting for PR1.2 to come for my branded ('&%$&%#$&%) N9 - any info guys how PR1.2 handles battery consumption with 3G + Skype logged in?

It's June 2013 and it appears that this problem has not yet been resolved. Skype just burns through my battery when the phone is on 3G mode; this issue also exists with SIP connections. Both Skype and SIP work great over Wifi.
As other posters have noted, this has nothing to do with 3G as the phone gets through more than a day and a half on 3G with Skype turned off.
This is a real dealbreaker

I feel like I'm feeding a troll (jalyst) but I don't think it's your place to police EVERY thread, both here & FMC when (to my knowledge) you don't even have an N9.
AND
The OP's problem is / was idle drain - in their view caused by skype.
I think there should be another word for mondegreen
