[Q] Handcent causing partial wakelock?

[cmcfalls]

I have Badass Battery and Better Battery Stats installed to figure out what is causing wakelocks. It seems that Handcent popup is causing partial wakelocks and it is really draining my battery. Is anyone else seeing this? Any solution?

Turn off the pop up setting I'd think is the only option.

Yeah, but I was hoping that I could continue to use the popup without the wakelock.

Any resolution to this besides turning that option off?

GoSMS is better.

Gosms has become too bloated. Its saving grace however is that it has no wake lock issues. Still, this thread is about handent, not gosms

Bloated? As long as you run "Normal" or "Lite" mode, there's not bloat, only "Pro".

But, I said GoSMS is better because its an easier alternative than dealing with wake locks from Handcent and possibly Chomp SMS as well.

Damn. and here I was thinking it was lightflow causing the wakelock. I have been using the handcent pop up for a few years now. Never noticed it till lately that something was up with my battery. Wierd...

Thanks for the help though
