By using conky i mean leave it running and see what process never shuts up or spikes repeatedly.

Also, is it me or did you say you have extras and extras-devel but not extras-testing? You are missing on stable verions.

camkeyd is deprecated. Also, you have shortcutd installed at the same time.

osso screen calibration fix is also deprecated in PR1.2

Finally, you seem to have several daemon based apps. Maybe the sum of those are a drain? How much media do you have? Images, audio, video? Tracker could be in trouble.

Also, I say qcpufreq. Did you mess with CPU speed? Lowering speed can give you increased consumption.

All apps that do something when not started drain. battery-eye, e.g. is one. As is battery-graph. To log battery, one needs to run. Also, shotcutd, camkeyd, etc are all daemons. All servers.

Glad this is providing some amusement. Just when I think I have Linux under wraps, I go and discover I'm clueless once again. I know this is blasphemy around here but after developing for windows system the past 10 years, I really prefer that OS.

Anyway, I've installed a bunch of things in preparation for installing the NITDriod build.

Edit: Is the pymaemo-optify app necessary anymore under pr1.2? Also forgot to mention normal extras as an active repo. I have it enabled.

Edit #2: Also there are a ton of things that I've uninstalled from the App manager that are still on that list. How would I go about removing them via x-term, as I imagine this is the only way to do it?

A couple more follow on questions. Programs like batterygraph. If I kill the process via htop, will this be a good way to kill it's drain until the next restart? For example if I don't want it running but would still like to have the app installed? Could this method be extended to other daemons I don't necessarily need running as well?

My list needs some cleaning up, as a bunch of things have long since been uninstalled. (Openvpn, personnel-ip, etc.)

i too have questions around battery drain. i flashed my 900 then installed about 50 apps. i soon started getting notifications that the device was consuming more power than it could be given via usb. i flashed again and have only added 15 or so apps that i had before and trusted to work good. I had just assumed the drain was from a app i downloaded, but now maybe i had the same high amount of daemons running. so how does one kow if the app being installed runs in the background? thanks.

But battery eye & battery graph doesnt record the battery activity when its idle right?

these two apps only use cpu when they are opened.it takes 5-8secs to load since it needs to get the details so that the graph/percentage left can be shown.

so i think they dont drain battery unless you use them

Pls correct me if i'm wrong

Where do you think the polled data concerning your battery usage is just coming from? Something has to be recording it. Open up top or htop and you'll see both of those activities in your processes list.

come on, a bit common sense please. Install one app and see for couple days if it is draining battery.

or if you have installed million apps, remove one and see if situation gets better.

good rule of thumb: if you don't know what to do with app x, remove it. or have you really used ssh server for example?
