"Android System" keeping phone awake.

[shocker80]

Anyone know what falls under "android system"? My phone lost about 25% of its charge with no use at all in about an hour and a half. Battery stats show Android system using up the majority of use and my phone shows as awake the whole time. Any ideas? Thanks.

This is a known issue..... Try using the search feature.

I can't complain about my battery life however I keep all my apps in check...

I don't know for sure but I think apps like Google Plus and Facebook (when notifications are turned on) keep the android system awake. First off uninstall apps you don't use then turn off background data in these social apps and you will notice improved battery life. My best guess is the Android OS is preventing the phone from sleeping based on the request for background data from these apps.....

^ this. Any app, including social apps, that allows the sending and receiving of data in the background will cause that keep awake time to be high, and thus cause your battery life to suffer. You probably have one or 2 rogue apps that are causing this, the biggest offenders are Google+, Facebook, and words with friends (in my experiences).

Thanks guys. I keep a close watch on apps too. No Facebook & google + etc has no sync active. Funny enough, a simple battery pull seems to have solved it. When all else fails......
