[Q] Wakelock issues

---

hey guys, I've been having a lot of problems with what appears to be a partial wakelock from "android system" (according to Spare Parts) It says that my phone is running 100% of the time, even when the screen is off.

I do not have my background data on, nor do I have Facebook or Twitter set to auto sync. I've read every thread I could find on this, and tried every suggestion to no avail.

is anyone else having this problem, and possibly have any suggestions?

thanks in advance.

Use adb logcat to look for the wakelock and see what is causing it. On the Fascinate with Froyo, GPS seems to cause a wakelock if left on.

thanks for the quick reply. I'm getting things like this:

I/AlarmManager( 2421): mWakeLock.acquire(500);

I/Z7Service(23911): wakelock acquired: 1

any ideas? I hardly ever use my GPS, and I only use wifi when I need it.

EDIT: My phone had started going into deep sleep again, but stopped as soon as I put my phone in airplane mode. Maybe that has something to do with it? I've also been running more logcats and finding stuff in power manager service, things like:

W/PowerManagerService( 2438): type=PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'AlarmManager'
active (mS=0) activeT=509
W/PowerManagerService( 2438): type=PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'WaitingScreen
Off' active (mS=0) activeT=15
W/PowerManagerService( 2438): mPokeLocks.size=1:
W/PowerManagerService( 2438): pokeLock 1 'PhoneApp'
D/PowerManagerService( 2438): sendNotificationLocked on=false
I/PowerManagerService( 2438): release mScreenOffWakeLock

You'd have to scroll through and see if apps are properly releasing wake locks. The first couple lines above for the z7 service makes me think that it could be the ticker causing problems. Not sure why the phone app could create a lock and not release it if you put it in airplane mode, but anything is possible.
