Nexus Awake 100% of the time (Global Issue)

[Run L1ke H3LL]

Phone remains awake even when screen is off.
This seems to be a global issue. Here is a link to a Google Support thread with no known solution.
High 'Android OS' Keep Awake time on Android Ice Cream Sandwich (global on-going issue) - Google Mobile Help

Here is a screenshot of just a small example of what myself and others have been experiencing.

At this point I have disabled all apps requesting data and disabled all widgets. I am trying to isolate what is keeping the phone awake even when the screen is off. I believe that this could be the root of my battery issues.

Has anyone found a fix and/or solution?

Do you have the radio problems too?

Mine does not do this......

 

[Run L1ke H3LL]

Can't comment on radio problems as 90% of the time I use the phone it has wifi.
But when I do use 4G its fast and consistent.

i was reading somewhere that if you press power to put it into sleep mode it won't go into sleep correctly....just let it turn itself off after whatever time you have set it to turn the screen off...see what happens then....seems to have alleviated the awake issue a bit for me

This is interesting, out of my blackberry habit I always lock the phone using the power button.
I will try this now and see how things progress.

I should add that that would be a very stupid problem. Considering I don't want to walk around with the phone screen on in my pocket waiting for it to go to sleep. It should be the other way around.

oh yes i know...this is not logical, but I was reading that it wasn't sleeping properly when hitting the power button

Short testing and that does not let the phone go to sleep either.

Turned off all syncing going to see what happens now.

Nothing I do is fixing this.
Contemplating reseting the phone to factory settings soon.

They are supposed to stay on. If you want to turn it off, hold the power button till it asks and select power off. But then the phone needs to go through the entire reboot to come back on. Get used to what seems like bad battery life. It's normal on a smart phone.

What? The awake time is not supposed to be solid like that.

My Nexus isn't having the awake time problem. Whenever my screen is off its asleep. Don't have any fixes, just wanted to chime in to give you a bit of hope and let you know its not all nexus' having this problem. The only thing I could think of is perhaps making a set CPU screen off profile if you're rooted.

Yes thank you. I have been doing a lot of research and haven't seen anyone else with awake times as bad as that.

I just did a battery pull and now the phone seems to be going to sleep normally. I'm going to let it sit before I start adding the widgets and apps again.

hmmm, thats always an option. I'd love to keep the phone stock however, since this is the only problem I have with it.

I just purchased my demo line GNex. None of these issues. Use your store's replacement option if factory resets/update to 4.0.2 have not fixed the issue.

 

[Run L1ke H3LL]

Update for anyone following this.
So far it looks like pulling the battery and resetting the phone has fixed the issue, for now.

Disabling Google+ will resolve this issue.

Actually. Its the most recent update so you can just uninstall the updates.

I did not get the G+ update until the other day. Suddenly I'm having this keep awake issue others have had. Once I disabled Google plus the issue went away.
