Hi,
Is there an application that detect which program is consuming the battery more?

You'd have to switch on each process individually and measure the increase in battery drain. Apps can only read the total drain.

does cpu usage(like the ones in task managers) mean more drain? i'm thinking in the line of logging the cpu usage, configurable in 3, 5, 10 secs interval, at the least the top 3 would give us an idea.

The major user is the screen obviously, but something like MemMaid would give you the CPU major users I think.

checking MemMaid now...

does it follow the more memory, the more battery drain?
