Question [solved]Phone awake

Any one else when they look at their battery usage graph and see that the.phone is awake for large chunks of time?
Even if I haven't turned the screen on for hours it will have large chunks of time where it is awake. Not little quick sync periods. Large chunks as if I had turned the screen on and was doing things.
Even when I have background data, auto sync, and wifi off
also happens when I have data completely off. Aldo happens when I use airplane mode as well
And it isn't any apps I installed since it happens as well when im just straight stock. I've even gone as far as to freeze a ton of apps but still I see large chunks of awake time.

Is there any suggestions people have for me?
Or can others post shots of their battery usage graph so I can compare?
I will post mine when im in break so people can see what I am talking about.
I wish I could figure this out since I know my battery would last a LOT longer if it wasn't awake for so long so often.
Thanks for any input.

I go a step further and not only have I noticed it, there are days where I simply don't sleep and I'll do a 24hr all nighter and even 48hr all nighter.

At times when I'm doing some research and such I've noticed my phone simply wake up at random times as if I hit a button. The screen becomes illuminated and I sit there at the lock screen.

I've never been able to figure out why though.

Its not that my screen comes on.
The bar that shows "screen on" will have a long blank space but rights above it there will be two or three long chunks where it was awake. I understand the OS wakes up at times but I don't think it should be awake for as long as it shows.
Its usually a small dash of awake followed by a small space and then a large chunk of awake time. Small space of not awake then another large chunk awake. Then not awake for a while again. I can't figure out what is causing it to do that. Its not like I ha e email set up and its syncing a large email. I don't sync anything except gmail and it happens even with background data off and auto sync off..

My awake time is also like that. Not concerned about it b/c I get "great" (relatively speaking, of course) battery life. I typically plug in to charge when I go to bed and usually the battery isn't close to dead yet.

okay so I did some messing around wit my phone and I think I may have solved my issue.
I turned the settings in date/time OFF for using network provided times. that is really all I changed.
and now even with sync on and background data on I am not seeing those huge chunks of awake time when the screen has been off.
if someone else could confirm this for me it would be great
I have also made it a point to make certain I reboot after any charging and I am sure that's helping as well

here is a screenshot http://db.tt/g6Njgfrx
I know it is only 3hrs but it has been looking like that all day as opposed to my screenshot from earlier in thread

edit...no more dropboxing links for pics for me! YAY!! LOL I finally figured out how to do it from my phone...took me long enough Hahaha..

so there is the side by side comparison for anyone interested ....the time spent awake was unacceptable to me before I changed that setting...if this stays this way I will be a happy man indeed...more battery life here I come lol

ash,



WoW this is a great find. Could it really be this simple?
This phone is just full of undocumented setting's that have
a global effect. What a gem I'll be trying this get back.












If this was helpful, be sure to press the thanks button!

yeah. I was going thru all ny settings and app cuz this was driving me nuts. it even did it still after a data wipe.
then I figured hey what the hell. its gotta be network time because that's really the only thing that could be going on in the background when I have everything else turned off.
and so far so good. my awake bars are looking much more in line with my use and data syncing.

I do not believe I changed anything else to get this result. as I said. turned that off and reboot after EVERY charge and everything seems to be in order now. this issue had been driving me insane since I've had this phone. I feel so relieved its over with.(knock on wood. this phone is so weird at times that I hope it doesn't revert and start waking up for no reason again.)
