Just a heads up, with the new Facebook app my phone is not sleeping. When I log out of the app the phone does sleep when the screen is off. I'm running Baked Snack 1.1. I'm curious to see if it's just me, or if others are having the same issue.
Yep, I have noticed that as well. I mentioned it in the "There is a NEW FACEBOOK APP" (paraphrased) thread.
i installed it last night and this morning it i checked spare parts for partial wake items and facebook app was the highest, near 30%
i went into the facebook app and changed the update frequency; hopefully that'll fix it

Ok good to know. Hopefully if enough people are having the issue Facebook will do an update to correct the problem.
I'm on the leaked .3 Rom and mines working fine, have you tried doing a restart and clearing the facebook cache?

Yeah when I reboot the phone it can go back to sleep, but if I log in to the Facebook app and back out it won't go back to sleep. Once I actually log out of Facebook the phone can sleep again.

Have you tried killing it in something like System Panel?
Just checked Autostarts, and Facebook isn't set to start on any occasion other than your account settings being changed and the widget updating. Of course I have the refresh for notifications off, but it should never start itself.

If you have the widget on a homescreen it just reloads the service in short order. That and you really shouldn't have to kill something like Facebook to keep it from causing sleep issues, I understand it on "chat" apps (eBuddy, etc.), but not in a periodically updated app like Facebook. Seems like a bug to me.

I've killed it with Advanced Task Killer... It just fires itself right back up.

I was just seeing if it would stay off or if it was starting itself back up. I updated my post with its start permissions.

I figured that that was the case. For whatever reason, it wants to start itself though. I have my updates set to "never" and notifications set to "off" now (just had the updates set to never before, still had notifications set to "on") Charging right now, so I can't check my partial wakes, but will update to see if that makes any difference.
Killing the app doesn't work work for me. I have to sign out of the app for it to stop killing the battery.

Same problem here, if I reboot the phone it doesnt start and everything is fine, once i launch it the first time it will perpetually keep the phone from sleeping, BS1.1
just force closed it and removed the widget. it doesn't start up again either after doing all that. stupid thing.. i knew something was not right about my battery today.
I'm running CM6's latest nightly and i'm not having any issues like this with updated facebook app. I have refresh interval set at 1 hour with notifications active

go to spare parts and select "partial wake usage" in battery history. you'll notice the fb app has been on since you first checked it, keeping your phone from sleeping.

yea, it's funny though, i remember htc releasing an update that fixed battery issues with fb syncing. i wonder if it's something similar to that now, what with contact syncing enabled again. maybe i'll try it without contact syncing and see how it goes.

So I updated my EVO to fix the qik problem as mine would not sign in.
Now I noticed I have 100 percent awake time and the battery is draining fast.
Anyone have this problem? I searched around but didn't see a mention of it anywhere. I have not rooted yet at all just setup the phone then did the update. Had no problems before the update.

Mine seems to randomly stay awake too (but not always!)
Download the spare parts app from the market and in the battery history section, check the partial wake usage to see what's keeping the phone awake.

Today: 5 hours off the charger...5 hours awake time ONLY by the calendar. It's pretty impressive. I'm trying unchecking the calendar sync portion of gmail sync and charging it up to see how it performs for the second half of today. >.<
I killed the calendar app and my phone is finally going to sleep. This is probably it. I was getting the same result in spare parts. I installed auto task killer to kill the calendar in case I ever do open it.
I killed it also and the battery is performing MUCH better after a few hours by comparison. I wonder what it is about it that's not letting go properly.
Nothing here after update, Up is 10 hours, awake is 3 hours...my poor pocket empire is feeling neglected!
Are we all using the HTC calendar widget?

I disabled the widget but that didn't stop it.
Looking into the logcat output, I saw on each sleep/wake cycle, 'SocialNetworkSyncmanager' acquiring a wakelock all the time (or, what seemed like a wakelock from the logcat).
Couldn't find exactly what that was, but noticed Footprints was running (wtf is that thing). Force closed that **** from Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, and now no 'SocialNetworkSyncManager' wakelock logcat messages.
Looking in Spare Parts, it seems that Calendar is no longer 100% of the partial wakelock time. Hrm. Will keep testing, but really need rundown time tests tomorrow to really get an idea of this works.
I had no idea footprints was part of the calendar. I never used it on windows mobile but I'll try disabling that too.
I am also running the widget but seems to make no diff if I use it or not.
I will start investigating the log cat see if matches the mentioned above.

True. Let me restate it then: I want a clean rooted image so that all that crap isn't in there, including the HTC and Sprint stuff!
I have had problems with my phone sometimes refusing to sleep, causing my battery to drain..
today I think I found the culprit. Seems to be the stock email application that is the problem. After I stopped this the phone goes to sleep again.
Can anyone experiencing this problem verify? It could of course be other applications also.
I think I read something about a Samsung Email application. Is this available somewhere? For 2.1?
firstable you didn't tell us which app was the cause.
So which app was it?
I had something similar, but i knew because i ticked the option to stay on, problem is even after i exited the software, the phone remained on.
it was a bug in wifi scanner app on android market
so after going back in and ticked it off again, then the phone was able to go to sleep properly.
Samsung push email and IM come stock, it can be installed by going into Samsung App icon in your phone

BTW. I don't have any email applications in Samsung Apps
So what other email application with exchange sync is recommended?
odd, you should have it
the next best thing is TouchDown 2.0 but it's paid software
maybe some one can upload the samsung APK for the mail push and IM for you.
in the Apps section of the site, some one uploaded the full APK of all samsung apps
see if you can find the topic
if only there's an app in the market showing what's causing the phone not to sleep in details.
searched everywhere to no avail ):

JM7/8 + Voodoo and using WiFi causes the phone not to sleep.
What firmware do you have?

I just like to compile a list of apps to stay away to preserve battery life by staying away apps that prevent your phone from going into sleep.
On the related subject, does the following apps and tools prevent phone from going to sleep. Can anyone verify?

Current widget is fine (even reporting every minute, drain is negligible), as is g-mail auto-sync as long as the interval is reasonable say hourly or longer, whats causing issues with spare-parts?
how do you reduce the intervals of auto-sync, because I couldn't find this option on my dhd.
For spare parts, I was just asking.
I heard the stock sms messaging app drains a lot of battery too, so I am switching to Go sms and see if it helps.

I'd say that the sms app draining is just another rumor. And for the first post none of the listed drain much. My settings everything on (3g) and not current widget but battery monitor widget and the average drain when idle around 3-5 mA with occasional peaks, due to data transfer while syncing. Also whatsapp on and various other background apps. Oh and CM7 latest build.
i really hate gmail
it gives huge spikes..
Where I check my Partial Wage Usage with SpareParts
I am getting these items
Dialler (Most usage)
UID 10030
Android System
Maps
GO SMS
Messaging
Calender Storage.
How can I disable Maps and the stock Messaging app? I don't why they are there since I have location turn off, gps turn off. And I turn off auto-retrieve and notification for my default messaging app.
What exactly is Dialler? what does it do?
Can anyone help. My phone is burning insane amount of battery during stand-by.
Spare parts? I think it works ondemand basis. I think YouTube is another app preventing sleep.

I haven't found any way to do it, people say you can change it when you factory reset, but otherwise, you can't
Maybe Gmail uses push, so updated on demand... (just guessing)
yes, auto-sync practically is push mail, but there isn't an option you can change it to fetch intervals instead?
I can use the stock email app, but its so crap!
Anyone know any decent email client solution for android?

If there's some strange drain by maps have you tried manually closing it from the settings-applications while you don't actually use it? That should do it.
thing is I killed it using android assistant and they just start pop up again.
and I haven't even used it to begin with.

Seriously if you use the "killed selected" option to terminate these processes it will just drain more battery. These processes will get restarted as soon as they are killed. That's the android way. I am already thinking dumping this function in my app - Android Assistant. The reason I let it stay is there are still some android 2.1 users and they need this feature.
If you are thinking about saving battery, root your phone and uninstall all unneccessary battery-draining apps
or use the normal way to save battery: turn off gps, bluetooth, wifi, lower screen brightness etc.(and these are also available in Android Assistant )
I un-installed maps and im good to go since i use Co-pilot
No problems with titanium backup pro
So, I loaded up BetterBatteryStates.
I'm getting some pretty bad wakelocks:
AlarmManager
Android System
10m58s
ChatSession
com.facebook.katana.Facebook
10m33s
^I don't even use facebook chat!
The facebook app is taking up 9% of my battery from using the standard Battery Manager.
Alarm Manager seems to be a common wakelock for others, but for this long?
Any solutions?

Facebook has been known to become a battery hog with certain updates they put through. I uninstalled mine because it was using some battery without me even using it. It's a pretty crappy app to be honest, you would be better off using the mobile browser version.
As for the AlarmManager, that's pretty normal. As I know it controls certain aspects of timing on the phone, not only the alarm clock. Someone else may be able to go into more detail about it then I can.
This is the first time I'm seeing Facebook use up so much CPU time, it's really annoying. I can't stand the mobile browser version lol, time to use Friendcaster again...
Alarm Manager seems to be hit or miss. Some days, it doesn't keep the phone awake too long, sometimes it does. I have alarms and schedules every day though, so I'm guessing it controls other aspects of the phone as well.
For now I have the FB notifications and refreshes disabled. It still seems to be keeping the phone awake though.
I FCed it and it just sort of wakes back up.

I've noticed that with some facebook updates they fix the issue, then release another update and the issue comes back, I don't know what they are doing lol. If you've updated FB recently it could explain it, I know I did then noticed the battery hog issue.
I believe I updated it within the past week, but the issue seemed to show up in the last 2 days.
We need a new update lol.
I installed Facebook. The mobile website works just fine. I use the Facebook Messenger to receive messages and it doesn't cause any wakelocks.
Ever since I bought my droid turbo 2 I have not had a single push notification from facebook, have anyone else had this problem?
I'm wondering if its just related to my phone or if maybe its the facebook app itself.
Yes, i am having the same problem, except mine is with many apps, including twitter, snapchat, youtube, and others. it only happens when i am on wifi. Its very strange and i have tried many things to fix it.
My wife is having problems with the Facebook app crashing when she attempts to use "stickers" or emojis. It will instantaneously take her back to her phone's home screen when she tries. She uninstalled FB and used browser-only for over a week, and then reinstalled last night only to have the same problem happen again. My kids both have the Motorola Droid Turbo (non-2) and they can use it just fine. Must be some weirdness with the Turbo-2...
Yeah my problem is with most apps with the exception of a few. It's so weird. I am starting to think that it might be something in the firewall. I am investigating now!
Disabling battery app optimizations worked for me
Settings -> Battery -> Battery optimization -> All Applications -> Change to "Don't optimize" for the apps you don't receive proper notifications
