Wtf is wrong here??

Why does Android System and Standby eat more battery juice then the display itself??

Due to the crappy battery life I even opted to turn off network locations... but this phone is still eating up the battery...

i noticed the same thing today, i was reading that the g2 uses network location a lot so that could be the reason, could also be a 3rd party app

Yes, turn off network location (GPS is OK to leave on; it will only engage when you run maps or related app). network location runs 24/7 and kills your battery FAST.

Network location *should not* run full time. If it IS, then there is a serious bug in the firmware or you are running some program that is constantly asking for it. Network location should only run when something is asking for the location.

Logcat shows notification activity once per minute. I haven't figured out if this is actually getting a location fix every time or just reading a stored setting, but it's keeping the CPU fairly active during sleep.

Getting all the same answers...

Just so its clear, Network Locations is OFF.

I just want to know why Android System and Standby use up more power then the display itself!

well if we are strictly talking in terms of LOCATION, than it would make sense to use GPS instead of networks loctions because GPS gives you the EXACT location coordinates, as oppose to network location TRIANGLUATES your location by calculating how far are you from the towers.

KEEP IN MIND: Just because you can turn OFF network locations in the phone doesn't mean its actually off. Federal authorities can have access to your location by remotely turning on the feature and locate you. That's ofcourse if you've been a bad boy (or girl?) but yea... big brother is watching....
