9310 Ubuntu battery drain issues

I don't think it's normal. Are you sure your laptop goes into any sleep mode at all? I have 9300 and it uses about 5Wh a day when in S2 sleep and about 2Wh a day when in S3 sleep mode. Fully discharging in 24hours (assuming your battery is about 50Wh) pretty much means your laptop keeps consuming about 2W of power -- doesn't sound like sleeping to me...

I've measured - I've lost 60% battery overnight (8 hours - left the machine at 2300 and came back at 0700)
I checked the journal, those are the related events (no other events from 23:15 to 06:58):

  from this log it looks like it starts the suspend process at night and finishes it only when I wake it up.

Any advise, anyone?
Dell support will not take any action to assist me be because the machine was purchased with Windows rather than Ubuntu (Developer's Edition not available in my region)

Also, does anyone knows if the Ubuntu that comes preinstalled in developer edition is any different than the official public ISO?

Inspiron 5510 here, same problem. s2idle is the only possibility.
I figured that problem out because, assuming it was going to deep sleep when closing the lid for the night, the battery was completely drained the next morning. It drains the battery at an incredible amount.
I'm sorry I can't answer your questions but since the original topic is closed, and yours seems to be the only one for this year, i do my part complaining about this very annoying problem that should be fixed, and not only for the "Dell Ubuntu". It's annoying for the Linux community. If I knew before, i would have reconsidered my purchase.
Dell, please update your firmware.
Thing is, I don't have much hope but I wondered if downgrading the BIOS could fix things?
