Bug Description
Mako, RTM 1
Since upgrading to RTM the battery life is really poor. What used to be a battery drain of 5-10% per hour (which is still high) is now 10-15% per hour. Sometimes the phone runs really hot, so there seem to be something going on in the background that is consuming power. I mostly have bluetooth, GPS (which isn't always working), wifi and cellular on, but that's no difference from when I was running 'devel-proposed' with MultiROM with much less battery consumption.
As an example, I started with a full charge at 7am. After some web surfing (<15 mins) and watching a couple of youtube videos (on wifi) battery was down to 66% at 9:15. That's 34% in just over two hours! I recharged again before lunch and had the phone idle until coming back 1 hour and 45 mins later to find only 75% of battery left, this time without the phone running particularly hot.

This issue seems to be resolved in later rtm-proposed releases (I am now on mako #71). My battery drain now mostly varies between 4-5 up to 8-9 per cent an hour with light to moderate use.
