Mine was running no foreground apps at all. Android not installed. No calls or SMS. WiFi, 3G and GPS are on. SysMon running in the background. Came off the charger about 1800. At 1930, the charge was down to 95%. That dropped to 94% while I was typing this post.
This is the situation pretty much every day. I usually spend about two hours browsing in the evening and that gets me to about 50%. Sometimes less, very rarely more.
And that's been pretty much the drain rate I have seen since I got the phone (apart from a brief, impressive period where I was only draining between 1-2% per hour about 2 firmware versions ago)

Hmm. Here is mine for the same period.

Are you not using it at all?
There is a noticeable steep slope when I use it (generally only for browsing), but even the steady periods when idle are still steeper than yours.

Well, that's really the case for any online shop. If you don't want to give them that information, don't buy from them, buy through someone else, or buy in a real shop.
However, I have no problem to identify myself in a webshop of my choice to buy something. But this here is different:
- My identity would be linked to a communication device which I carry with me 24/7 and which may be under control of Jolla Ltd.. I do not want to insinuate anything, yet I know it is technically possible and other companies have no qualms about implementing back-doors, see: Samsung Galaxy back-door.
- I don't want to buy something, I just want to install some free apps which add basic functionality I expect from a "smart" phone. And I want software updates (bugfixes/security patches).

Let's just take a minute and see what data you need to give up for a Jolla account (which you only need to access the store and post on TJC):
- username
- password
Oh. My. God. Outrageous!
In their "privacy" policy Jolla Ltd. state:
Protecting the privacy of our users is one of the key building blocks of our business. We believe it is important because it is what our users want and thus it is something we will work hard for to provide. Our approach towards your privacy can be summarized in the following principles:
- You have the right to the utmost protection of your privacy. It should be for you to decide what personal data you want to share and when.
...
Jolla claims to be different but I can't see any difference.

If you don't want to be tracked using a mobile phone, there is only one option: don't use one. Using a phone with open hardware is only a pseudo-option, as you can only not be tracked if you disable all connections, which would defeat the purpose of a phone, or you are your own service provider and also provide service to all your contacts and in fact to everyone all over the world. Not to mention the devices with open hardware are currently either old and not available anywhere, or vaporware.

Does it matter?
When Google requires you to create an account to access their play store, everyone has their arms in the air shouting about evil Google harvesting your private data. When Jolla does the same thing, why should the reaction be any different? Because Google is evil and Jolla is good? And how do you know that?

Huh? They are only asking for a username, which you can completely make up. Even if it ran off email addresses, you can make those up too.

The problem is that every Jolla user is forced into this otherwise his phone is not so "smart" at all. This is a really bad practice Apple started years ago, Google adopted this or to be more exact they had the account first and then they came up with the device and with Windows 8 Microsoft is catching up.
Maybe you got used to this kind of practice and meanwhile it seems natural to you. But I think this is a very bad development.
You may argue Jolla Ltd. is a small engineering company and not a big data leech like Google, Apple and Microsoft. However, the same applied to Whatsapp or Mojang. Things may change.
Jolla Ltd. may argue "take it or leave it". But then, why should I take a Jolla and not a CyanogenMod device (e.g. OnePlus One or Geeksphone) or keep on using my N900 until the Neo900 is available?

Btw, please don't see my reactions as defending Jolla. I'm attacking nonsensical accusations.
@Yminus: "Things may change." Of course. That doesn't mean they will. Maybe tomorrow Microsoft will buy Jolla. Maybe Apple will. Maybe even Google. This is nothing more than speculation, without any good reasons, even.
