Man, you really took a lot of your time to write all of this. :))) I appreciate this. :)

Now, let's get some things straight and maybe put some light into the dark corners of your mind. :) And don't worry, you're not an alien. We all have our "dark corners". :P We are all humans, remember?

1. I'm really happy that you're preocupied with finding all the possible causes of a battery drain. I wish you come back with new info since this is a topic affecting many people. :D

2. I was referring to the kernel as being (or, actually, not being) the only cause, or the bigger cause of the battery drain. I hope this clears it up a bit.

3. "First you should do a search about what a full gauge is and why it´s not just showing wrong values after a reboot with the SGW, but with other Android phones as well."

Thank you for your kind suggestion. This, as other things you said above, doesn't sound too friendly but I understand. I've got my bad days as well. :))

4. "Here you are making it yourself simple by pigeonholing all the users as being to stupid to make a pristime install."

You couldn't be more wrong about this. I just suggested that there might be other users (especially new users) that didn't have the time to master the techniques of the Pristine way. I never said anything about "all" the users. Please, read again. :)

5. "Sure, if you simply flash a newer ROM with a new Kernel over an older ROM with all its apps installed without going the pristime way, you may also end up in a high battery drain issue. But simply blaming all of them, even the ones who whiped everything, went the pristime way and still had the high battery drain issue without installing one single app is not just ignorant but making them all look like complete idiots."

Same as above. I'm not blaming anyone for anything. I'm just saying that there might be some users who don't yet know how to do a clean install and because of that, having battery issues as you very well said. And, by the way, not knowing something doesn't make you an "idiot", to quote your words. You were not born with all the knowlege in your brain. You accumulated it over the years. So, please be patient and let others accumulate their share of this knowlege as well.

6. It seems to be very frustrating for you not being able to pin point what's causing that battery drain, but don't worry. This is why we are a community. To share, learn together and to be patient and understanding about other people's ideas or opinions. :)

7. "And just btw: I went several times pristime. Even formated all my SDCards and finally even flashed CM9 RC6 via Odin to be 100% sure, but still had the high battery drain issue, so started some testings and they are pointing to the NAND memory and SDCards. So not always the user."

I'm sorry to say this but you seem to have a problem differentiating "all" from "some" and "always" from "sometimes". Maybe my English isn't good enough. I appologize for this.

If you want to be helpful, be my guest. If you want to go into a fight, sorry, I'm just not in the mood for it. I do have a life outside this forum and I intend to keep it. :)

If you will allow me one more little note: the term is "pristine", not "pristime". As in "pristine water"=clear water. If I knew what's your main language, I would gladly translate it for you but you seem to have no problem finding what you need on Google Search so I will leave you the pleasure, that if you think it's worth your interest, of course.

I'm sorry if I was taking you too much of your time. I hope it was for the greater good. :)

Best regards. And keep up the good work. :)
