Let me preface this by saying that I'm not looking to root my phone, and I know that is not the ONLY solution. Two other people with my same phone that barely know Android are having decent battery life. I'm really trying to track down what is happening with my phone.
The main issue is this: according to the battery information in spare parts (which just links to the *#*#4636#*#* code), on any given day my phone is running 80% of the time, which leads to terrible battery life. I've tried hard resetting several times, in which case it will be fine for a few days then start tanking again. I removed an app I had to lock out certain apps and it dropped down to running 70% of the time. This is with minimal usage, phone literally just sitting aside from responding to a few texts and the occasional call. It seems to lose about 10% / hour. (This is in contrast to my fiance's Optimus (different class I know) that runs only 30% of the time and she's always on the phone and doesn't nanny it like I nanny mine.)
I have System Panel installed and monitoring. I thought that was the issue at one point so the last time I hard reset I didn't put the app on, and the same thing started happening eventually. I have alogcat on but there's so much foreign stuff in there I don't really know what to look for. I tried looking for wake locks and I don't see too many of them. I'm willing to post the logs if someone knows how to read them.
I'm in a good signal area, I don't have many apps installed, I've never logged into Facebook since the hard reset. I've searched this site and others and tried other tricks, but nothing seems to work. The bizarre thing is I used to have decent battery life, where the phone would last me thru the day, but within the past couple of months it hasn't happened. Sprint has also given me a brand new battery, which helped slightly.
I've noticed in System Panel that the suspend process and the system process are the two highest battery consumers. Altho according to the app the consumption is only at some single digit percentages, when those go down my battery lasts a lot longer.
Please help, I'm really at a loss. I'll provide whatever logs or whatever screenshots you need.
