I've managed to get around to producing the output. As mentioned earlier, power consumption increased with stock kernel after latest CSSU was installed.
Latest CSSU and KP from extras-testing.
No extra desktop widgets installed. Desktops are the same as vanilla firmware (Once with calendar, one with ovi etc.) Blank desktop just has a few web shortcuts.
Swappolube is using "proposed" settings.
Powertop output a few minutes after boot. Interrupts a lot lower than before reboot (1400 vs 2800).
I've included "dpkg -l" as well.
Kernel-config shows max as 600. Same happens with limits set to 720, 900 etc

@Android_808:
What if you install Conky?
I can see that my frequences are changing while looking att Conky.
But "kernel-config show" always reports max frequence on my phone too.

I'll give it a shot. I just noticed on several other posts, people were getting the current freq as 500 or 550. Might give battery graph a try as well to find battery issue if conky returns correct information.

Ok Ok I will bite.

There is nothing wrong with your phone. Dont install any additional junk. Kernel-config shows your highest freq because the CPU jumps to it to execute the kernel-config script as quickly as possible.

To watch your cpu enter into xterm:

Code:
watch -n 1 -t cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

Ok, that explains the CPU freq. reading, now to get to the bottom of the battery consumption, which I suspect is CSSU related.

I didn't think running kernel-config would have put enough demand on CPU to require frequency increase.

CSSU is fine, battery drain is either:

1. somthing you have changed/hacked/bodged.
2. somthing you have installed.
3. a hardware fault.

I am heavily leaning towards 1 and/or 2.

There is no "junk" installed on the phone. It was only recently reflashed (both images) to track down the issue and eliminate the possibility of 1.

The only installed GUI applications are cuteTube-QML, fMMS, MussOrgsky, omweather (with auto update disabled) and Swappolube. AdblockPlus 1.3.10 is installed (from homepage) but disabled. 3G/2G/Dual applet installed and set to 2G.

There are a few terminal apps (grep, nano, powertop) and that's it.

Tracker has been modified to run in low memory mode with Throttle set to 5.

MfE only runs when on WiFi and even then only every 30mins 8am-5pm.

Thats it. No other changes. Before last CSSU-T update it lasted 2.5-3 days with light WiFi usage and SR enabled with stock kernel. Immediately after update it didn't even last half a day. Since reflash it will manage 1.5 days if I'm lucky. That's why I installed KP, in the hope of getting a bit more out of it.

Oh, we were talking about kp49.
Still chugging along with it just fine.

I'll update to kp50 later, once I strap on a new u-boot image.
