Long awake times

[DaddyRey]

So i am looking at my battery status and i see my up time is 112 hrs and my awake time is 100 hrs. First off, what is the difference between the two. Secondly, does this mean my phone is always running and could be causing my batter life to stink? I had been having horrible battery times. so much so that I did a reset. I definatly saw an improvement, but only lasted about two weeks. I've only reinstalled the following apps: ebay, epocrates, FML, Kayak, ScoreCenter, Angry Birds, and the Weather channel. could an app be responsible?

You obviously have an app that won't sleep. Get "Spare Parts" from the market and look in the battery history "Partial Wake" tab and that should tell you whats not sleeping. Once you find that, delete the app and problem should be gone.

ok...did it. i searched in partial wake since last boot. this is what is listed.
Android System (4Day 22hrs)
Calendar 35 min
Internet 32 min
Dialer 23 min
Voicemail 15 min
UID 10003 (11 min)
Maps 5 min
Media 5 min

what do you make of this? all of them are mostly preinstalled apps.

Are you actually exiting out of the apps you use or are you just hitting the back button? Always use exit (usually by hitting menu and finding exit while using the app) to close it.

I bet you have it to always sync email, calendar, etc., so it's polling for new updates all of the time. These are included in your Android System so they won't be listed separetly. Go into accounts and sync in menu and unsync the apps you don't need to update all the time. This should help.

Try getting rid of score center I used it for a while and found it to be a battery hog.

Later,

Just checked both suggestions. We shall l see. How long does it typically take a phone to go to sleep any how?

When the screen turns off, maybe a couple of seconds after.
