Just what the title says.
Why the heck is my Music app using so much power? Is it Voodoo Sound tweaks? The phone shouldn't be spiking CPU-wise while the screen is off; I'm using the smartass governor which is not supposed to let the CPU spike when the screen is off.
More detail:

Why is smartass not allowing spiking?
Also music app was running 1/3 of the time reporting data to the cloud. Looks alright especially since you got no other huge battery hogs.

Because smartass governor has a screen off profile built in that sets the maximum clockspeed low.
Anyway this is ridiculous. My previous phone could play music for two hours without dropping below 70% battery. The NS4G isn't that much more powerful than the HTC Glacier...

[Q]SetCPU setting and CPU temperature

Can anyone share his SetCPU Profile settings.
Sometimes my CPU goes above 40°C(104°F), even 44°C(111°F). I'm not sure which is the recommendet temperature and what is the max temperature I can keep my CPU but I think it's above normal.

On the serious note: Are you using 4.1.6? I frankly DID notice a better battery life than 4.1.5.
I use my phone A LOT, and charge 3 times a day. So, it depends how you use it.
As for the screen off part, check your apps - there might be one or two draining that battery too fast.

Performance governor makes the CPU go absolutely full throttle even when not needed. Basically, it's the same as setting the maximum frequency and the minimum frequency at the same level.
So to answer you vaguely: It uses a lot of battery
Yea I understand that, I was just curious to see if there is a way to see the exact amount its using.
Thank you for your answer though!

It's a Russian botnet used to topple the UN!
Haha, but, seriously, it's just the underlying system processes, such as brightness regulation, network regulation; you know, system stuff.
Edit: Oh, I thought you asked what it was. I feel like an idiot. Mine is around 19-20, but that's because I have a lot of crap tacked onto it.
All I have is Facebook and twitter and they are set to manual everything. Do you think that this looks normal? It used to be at 4% up until last week and it's really bothering me. I haven't downloaded anything new.

Lookout battery hog on my Infuse

Check this out? LOOKOUT was being a bit of a hog if i understand this correctly.
Installed it 5 days ago but will revert back to seekdroid.
And yes I verified Lookout wasn't doing backups or anything...

Check the graph, he recharged it three times.
Yes I recharged it a few times and was just surprised at the % usage behavior of that app.
