install and run powertop. when it starts, lock your phone. it runs for ~30 seconds. then post the output here.

also, reinstall batterygraph, and let it run for a day or so, then export the graph and post it here.

Switch_! get on in here! You need to install powertop from developers repo.

You say the phone was from amazon. Was it BRAND SPANKING NEW or just new to you?

Which kernel are you running?

Such a low run time generally implies the CPU is not reaching C4 to sleep.

1. remove all widgets form desktop.
2. put phone into offline mode.
3. switch off and pull battery for 10s.
4. switch on and maintain offline mode.
5. let settle for ~4 minutes
6. run powertop and post output.

Okay, remove as follows:

Code:
apt-get remove --purge <name of app>
Where <name of app> = ;

amazon-installer
appdownloader
autodisconnect
battery-eye
buddy
espeak
maxcpu
tutorial-home-applet

I have a feeling it may well be a conflict between either battery-eye and batterygraph or alternatively maxcpu and qcpufreq

Also, is it normal to have hildon-home, hildon-desktop, and hildon-status-menu running twice each....?

You're thinking of flashlight-extra which is the one that gives you the option of launching the flashlight when opening the lens cover, he only has flashlight-applet which I'm pretty sure doesn't cause any problems (it hasn't for me).

Can I consider normal to drain battery after 5 hours considering I'm always online (Skype, Jabber, GTalk, SIP/Voip), always in HSDPA, surfing on the web from time to time, sending about ten sms, and some days listening to music for 2-3hrs?

I never thought it strange but this thread makes me think I should have more time from one charge to another.

What do you think? Should I worry?

2 - 3 hrs music is gonna frape your battery regardless. Then when you consider that you have all those IM accounts open too then I wouldn't say you got too many problems. Surfing the web aint gonna murder your phone, but powering the screen while you surf the web will. Sticking in HSDPA is less drain on the battery as it is not constantly "seeking" between 2G and 3G signals.

If you are still concerned post up the output from

Code:
powertop > output.txt
