Still have 100% Awake after Sprint MR? Report in!

I know I'm not alone with this and I think it's getting ignored because most people don't have the problem.
Even after the MR, I'm still having 100% Awake problems.
Yesterday I did the following.
1. Flashed back to stock rom.
2. Allowed the phone to perform the OTA MR update
3. Updated PRL and Profile.
4. Rooted phone using asroot2 process.
5. Installed Optimized/Zipaligned Apps found in this forum.
I then installed a random selection of my preferred apps. I did not log into any of the social networks on the phone itself. Facebook, Twidroid, Peep, Seemic are all on the phone but either not logged into or not set to update automatically. GPS is on, bt and wifi are not.
The only widgets I'm running is the normal clock/weather, big calendar, music player, and gps/wifi/bt toggles. Everything else is shortcuts and such. I'm using Gmail app for my mail, the stock messaging app for sms, and the stock browser. I'm syncing with Google for mail, contacts, and calendar. I have no other email accounts set up.
This was the 3rd time going through this process. The phone lasts roughly 24 hours with great low awake times, then suddenly starts climbing. A reboot will of course reset it so it shows 100% awake.
Things I've tried.
Installed Spare Parts and sorted by all sorts of things. Android System seems to be the biggest offender. Real vague.
Installed the Terminal app and tried to run top. Nothing seems to be taking up an abnormal amount of CPU but I don't know how accurate this thing is.
Obviously I've tried this 3 times and attempted to keep all widgets and other things that constantly update away from use but it doesn't stop.
I have shied away from task killers seeing how that's the normal reaction in this forum, that they're bad and I'm not sure they are a good idea.
My buddy has the exact same phone, way more widgets and things running, and his has been running for days without ever going over 25% Awake. We've went through all of our setting and installed apps and widgets etc, and cannot find a good reason for this.
I'm hoping to get some recognition for the problem. Maybe if others have the problem, we can try to see if we can come up with a fix.

Suggestions
Check the apps you have installed, some of the ones i liked say they 'keep the phone from sleeping' during installing. Just because you aren't running an app doesn't mean it's not running in the background. I would suggest you uninstall ALL external apps and test your phone for 24 hours after a full charge and see if that is the problem.
Another problem i had was i never gave my battery the proper charge when i bought the phone. I got much better performance from my batter by running it down to where it would not turn on then completely charged it without interruption. I repeated this 3 times in a row and my battery lasts much longer now.
I would also suggest to flash your phone with the fresh ROM .6b After doing this my phone was amazingly fast and excellent sleep times.
Currently Pulled Status:
After 48:15:00 Up Time Only Awake Time 13:01:00 (27%)

I'm aware of that app thing but I will say that I haven't installed any apps to speak of today. The only thing I installed today was a widget for turning the ringer off but I uninstalled that. Of course, that *could* be the problem.
Other than that, I haven't installed any apps today so you'd think that anything that would cause 100% Awake would have happened yesterday as well. Granted, that's an assumption and something best proven so tonight I will flash to stock + the OTA MR and leave it alone. We'll see if the phone with zero apps installed in basically stock form flips to 100% awake tomorrow or not.
I tried Fresh yesterday and it made no difference. Granted, I put it on top of a phone that already was at 100% Awake but still. I also don't care for what's installed/removed on the rom either. I would love to have my stock rom + rooted + removed apps + optimized apps and call it a day. I can hope right?

I was having the same problem as you...
I did a factory data reset after I applied the MR.
Then rooted
Then installed fresh .6
my phone has been sleeping like a baby ever since (over 1 week now).
Hope that helps...

I tried Fresh .6b but it didn't help. Granted, I applied it after the 100% awake problem hit. I don't really care for Fresh though.. but I might try it after I do a few experiments.

Bah.. I gave up on the experiment idea and went ahead and did this.
Flashed to stock
OTA MR upgrade
Rooted
Flashed Fresh .06 ROM
Flashed Optimized/Zipaligned apps
Only apps installed are Seesmic, SMS Backup & Restore, and Call Logs Backup & Restore.
I will leave it at that for now. It will get a full charge tonight and hopefully I'll see more than a 24 hour run of good idle time.

I can say that sms problem is also persists.
And i found out that i have SMS problem only when there is 0 in incoming number. If sender have number without ZERO - it works just fine.
Nice fix from sprint -) I think they do not test it at all

I am running the MR + rooted, and have *NO* issues whatsoever with texting... and I have sent and received plenty of messages to/from people with a zero in their phone number.

Could be a total coincidence but I was texting someone with a zero in their number when my awake time started climbing. But I had also been texting all morning with another person with a zero in their number and it waited until around 3:30 to start acting up.

make sure you look for the following
settings>applications>deveolopment
(uncheck stay awake)
if this is checked, your phone WILL NOT SLEEP when plugged in.
to avoid any silliness make you check the awake time when it is NOT plugged in.
...Just sayin

I understood your message, but i STILL have SMS problem on 2 HERO after MR update. Thats a pitty

Well folks, I thought I had the problem licked but last night it came back. On Monday morning, I did the following:
1) RUU back to stock
2) applied voice mail and MR update
3) rooted phone and applied optimized apk & clear screen mod
It was working so well until last night when I was playing with the wireless and wired tether apps. After I *uninstalled* those apps, the phone would not go back to sleep. I'm getting sick of this but will not be resetting my phone. Hopefully an update will come out soon to resolve this.

Yesterday I decided I didn't care for the Fresh .6 rom and went back to my experiment idea.
I flashed the stock RUU back onto it, let it do the OTA update for the firmware, and then installed only Handcent and Seesmic to keep from using the stock SMS/twitter clients just in case.
I signed into Google for my Gmail, contacts, and calendar and left all the update settings alone. I turned on GPS satellites, and I signed into the Facebook integration on the phone so I could get the photos/bdays/status updates in People.
That's all I did. No rooting, no additions, nothing. I removed all widgets except for the clock/weather and the big calendar. Everything else was deleted, I only have the 6 shortcuts on the first home screen.
I went to bed with between 1:15-1:30 awake time. I woke to 4:45 wake time and climbing. Sometime around 5am it stopped being idle and is now climbing steadily toward 100% awake time. Obviously I wasn't using the phone, I received no phone calls or text messages, and it was charging.
This is frustrating.

did you just totally ignore my post or what?

Yes I ignored it because it did not pertain to the issue at hand. If you had read my entire post, you would see that it had, on all previous times, went from idle to 100% awake while off the charger. Last night was the first time it ever went awake in the middle of the night and it only happened 3 hours before I woke up meaning that it had been on the charger for 5 hours previous without being awake.
Also, that option isn't even checked by default. The only way it would be checked is if you were too stupid to read the text next to it. Needless to say, mine is not checked.
So no, never once in the time of having his phone has that setting been turned on. This issue is not related to your post in the least.

well just for ****s and grins.... retest with it not being plugged in. just to rule out even the remote possibility of that being the issue.
EDIT: also if you are really hard set on figureing out what is causeing it do a stock RUU, then update it.... then don't touch it... at all, no market apps, no enableing anything.... then test
if good, then add a variable.... use scientific method of figureing out what is wrong. Don't just test with a random set of variables and hoping someone might guess at what might be the issue.
from the information you gave.... my money is on the charger causeing it. I may be just totally wrong, but my track record is being right most of the time with this type of troubleshooting.... but if you want a second opinoin... by all means... and a tip of the hat to you sir

I'd say you're wrong because I'm not experiencing the issue at all.
Since the OP's phone and my own are similarly modded, I'm thinking that it has something to do with his own personal info (contacts, calendar, etc.)... because I have NO issues.
I use HTC Peep to update/view Twitter.
I use Handcent for SMS/MMS.
In contrast to the OP's phone, my phone has a ton of stuff installed (25 free apps from the Market, last I checked)... yet my awake times are consistently <30%.

Except, again.. of the 4 times I've reloaded this and had the 100% awake time, only once has it happened on the charger. So I find that theory a bit weak. I suppose it could be, but still.. seems a bit odd that, for instance, it would wait until 3:30 in the afternoon (7 + hours after coming off the charger) to act up.
I'm currently stock + 2 apps which should eliminate the supposed leak with the SMS that some people still claim is happening. But I will flash the stock RUU and then the OTA MR and leave it alone. I'm still going to use the functions of the phone though. I see no reason why syncing with Google or facebook or using peep should matter since those are on the phone from the get-go and intended to be used. I'm sure everyone on here who has no problems at all has a lot more things turned on than I do right now.
For instance, X99Percent and I have compared settings. He has WAY more widgets running, WAY more programs installed, and is signed into all the social networks. Yet he can use his phone for days with normal idle time. I might make it 24 hours, or in the case of yesterday, about 14 hours, before going to 100% awake.
I'm convinced it has a lot more to do with something wrong with the phone itself or a software bug than anything else. And if you notice, I'm not alone in this problem, there's others complaining about it on here and on PPCGeeks.

Google Voice and Nexus S

I've used Google Voice with my Mytouch 4G and battery consumption was alright...i've checked usage today with my Nexus S and it shows Google Voice as 24%! Almost more than my display (25%). Anyone else experience this?

pretty sure gvoice has a refresh interval setting

My battery has been going for 20 hours + and here is the breakdown of my batter use (for some reason my google voice isn't even listed, and I used it a bunch of times today to text). I'm using the stock Nexus S google voice... haven't updated.
Display 29%
Cell Standby 26% (I'm at work, getting very spotty reception in the building.. same with verizon)
Android System 13%
Wi-Fi 9% (Wi-fi is connected all day at work and home)
Angry Birds 5%
Microbes Live Wallpaper 4%
Android OS 4%
Phone Idle 3%
Browser 3%
Market 2%
Dialer 2%
battery is at 26% still after 20+ hours

6 hours since a reboot while on battery here right now. Display is 44%, Google Voice is 5%. Do you make your calls with Google Voice?

Not really a refresh interval setting. I'm looking at it right now, in the settings you can "synchronize inbox" or not. I think when you don't synchronize, you only get stuff with a manual refresh...no intervals like in a lot of apps.

I've not had Google Voice show up in my battery status yet.

I had this happen to me also. It was showing Google Voice was keeping the phone awake and was the largest % of everything running on my phone. I uninstalled and reinstalled GV and so far it has not come back. But it has only been a day and a half. So we will see. I posted in the GV app support forum on Google asking them to fix it also.

i can't uninstall google voice on the S. Only the updates. i never use it for calls. i receive sms on it throughout the day (less than 20) but that's it. There really is no interval settings every since its all push now. Using it the same way i am on the MT4G.
I'm going to uninstall updates and retry.

Set GV to "do not use GV to make any calls". You should be fine then.

Yeah, I just checked again on mine. 9 hours 45 mins uptime, GV was 3% of battery use. The fine details show 29 mins of keep awake. Not really bad, but I certainly wasn't in the app that long, I wonder why it needed to keep the phone awake that long.
Not really an issue on my phone, in my opinion, with that kind of usage. I'll have to look at my other Android and see if it has similar behavior.

I uninstalled updates and reinstalled them. I did a wipe of my phone this morning just for the heck of it and it seems fine now. The dialer though is now spiking at 17% . Hmmmmm

[Q] Notification Battery Drain?

I have searched for some hours now without finding an answer anywhere so i thought i might try here since there are obviously alot ppl here with far more knowledge about android than me :b
Whenever i receive a notification for either an sms or a mail through the Gmail app unless i remove it the phone wont go to sleep, the screen stays off but it drains battery like crazy.
I loose about 2% battery overnight if nothing happens, but if i receive a sms or mail during the night it has dropped about 50% by the time i wake up.
Is there any way to fix this or will i have to turn off sync?
I might have solved the sms drain by disabling the notifications for the stock sms app and using the Go Sms Pro instead.
It seems to work but i havent really tried it long enough to make a conclusion.
Is it an issue with android or some specific roms, or maybe even the phone itself?
Cause i´ve seen others post about the same problem but no one seems to find a solution.
I´m using Swedish Spring RLS5 atm but i really dont think its rom specific.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction

Well i dont know if your rom is overcloked,many times by receving a sms or a phone call may trigger some battery drain on your device,some oc kernels are a bit unstable
Tips ,well you could get a app manager with auto.kill even if youre device is sleep mode and you get a notification it will kill the process,use launcher pro,many launcher's out there, the way wich they interact with the system it self may cause baterry drain, so take these tips in mind,try and use other roms and see what happens

Is it just me or what is wrong with GB

There are so much problems especially with the battery issues, but even that I can deal with
I'm having major text delay. My messages come all at once. Every so often it tells me message faileed when sending. Next thing you know I get a text from my friends telling me to stop texting them 10 times in a row.
Most of my incoming phone calls never rings and I get a text message from google saying I have a voice mail
2.2 had those issues but only every few months but not everyday and nowhere near as annoying and GB. After receiving messages 45 minutes after they send it I went back to 2.2 and everything is working fine

That's not an issue with GB. Try ##72786# followed by your MSL to reset your data profile. If that doesn't work call Sprint and ask them to do a device refresh.

Battery is really the only MAJOR problem I have.. 1% percent drain on light use..

Are you on an Airave? If so reset it. If not update Profile and PRL.

I'm not having any of these issues on stock GB. Battery on GB is better than on Froyo. I suspect you've got something constantly syncing or some other setup issue that's killing your battery. Are you on a stock rom or custom?

Google processes (talk & gmail) will incessantly sync, as will facebook. Also on GB, the visual voicemail will stay in "initialization" until you open the app and go thru prompts. Then it will restart that mess everytime you drop signal, reboot, or come back out of airplane mode and unless you go thru the process each time, it'll run in background. Beyond that it guzzled my battery too with ei22 modem even with nearly everything uninstalled... something causes the "system" processes to run the cpu away and not sleep properly (my experience)
Some are having great luck with GB. I'm having better luck with eh17 & cm7.

My gingerbread experience has been fantastic if not perfect.

Mine chews through a fully charged battery quick since the GB update.

Stock GB seams to last a bit longer than Froyo for me, and all of the custom roms I've tried so far a bit less.

Got a pair of bluetooth head phones, run the stock music app for 7 hours with BT 9 with headphones, then I hit 10% and I have to change my battery. I am having great battery life on a 1500 mAh battery.
Not bad for not letting it deep sleep all day.

does this POS work on ANY network?

i am so ****ing pissed off right now
i had a 6p working on metro PCS
a few months ago visual VM stopped working and incoming calls stopped working
i bought another 6p and had the exact same problems
the second phone bootlooped 6 weeks after i bought it
i brought the original 6p to t-mobile new sim new service and i STILL get no visual VM and no incoming call WTF !!!!!!!!!
2 different phones 2 different services 2 different sims same ****ing problems
i know metro uses t-mobiles old networks,i guess their new networks is ****ing piece of **** too

Might want to specify in the title the fact you're using some off brand cell company.
This device works flawlessly on Verizon, I had T-Mobile for about 6 months and it was fine, and now I'm on att and its as good as version was.

i am not on an off brand company i am on T-mobile now
from what i understand metro PCS which i had before uses the same network though
i was on metro for a long time with no problems
i did finally get visual VM working today but only through the app , it doesn't work in the stock phone dialer app still
i won't know until tomorrow if the issue with calls not going through when the phone goes into doze has been resolved or not
i changed one of the APN settings from v4 to v6 i think that is what made it work , the guy at T-mobile changed some other settings too though i think it took awhile then the visual VM app finally asked me to set up a new pin but it still wouldn't work i had to call and have them set it up on their end for it work
i feel like the phone not getting incoming calls is an android problem because it seems to only happen when the phone is left untouched for a long time , most of the time it only will happen when i go to sleep and wake up
sometimes waking and unlocking the device will make calls come through again sometimes i need to reboot it
i think it has something to do with doze but i am not sure , it could be the network or APN settings
happened with 2 phones on both carriers

Are you on 8.1 or 9.0? Because I've seen quite a few people having issues with calls etc on 9.0, though I haven't noticed any.
It seems like a large portion of them are outside of the us though. Also are you on stock? Or a custom rom? I have noticed on some custom ROMs that my device when left overnight will stop updating. View it as the phone is sleeping so hard it just stops working, I'll wake up to no alarm and notice even my clock wasn't updating.

I am on stock N .
It seems to be working now ,after much messing with APN settings and showing system apps and disabling optimization for any apps and system apps that sound like they are related to carrier or phone.
No visual VM from dialer app tho
The issues just started one day a few months ago out of the blue i think T-mobile/Metro PCS made some changes to their network and that is what caused the problem.
I also noticed that when i had the sim out of my phone that the battery lasted forever
and when i put it back and was having the issue the battery drained really fast , i have always got extremely poor battery performance since i got it
but now it seem like the battery life is a lot better since the phone has been ringing and Visual VM working
So can having incorrect APN settings dramatically effect battery performance, cause it seem like the battery is working better now even though i have turn off like 7 or 8 apps/system apps battery optomizations

Well sure, a large chunk of your battery is eaten up by the radio, just like if you toss on airplane mode and just use WiFi you save battery. If your radio is constantly trying to search for signal it can have a huge impact on battery life.
You mentioned APN settings, but sure if that means you've messed with that, but if not I would. Google all the different apns they use and try entering them manually

Not sure honestly. I usually just toss it on airplane mode if I'm in an area with **** tier service.

Hey, I am using Metro PCS and I am having no problems. I have tried a few different AOSP roms and none have been an issues. I am on AEX 9.0 right now. I do know that I had to reinstall the default android/google dialer app as this one wanted to use something different.
If there are any network settings I can help you out with let me know.

Well sure, a large chunk of your battery is eaten up by the radio, just like if you toss on airplane mode and just use WiFi you save battery. If your radio is constantly trying to search for signal it can have a huge impact on battery life.
You mentioned APN settings, but sure if that means you've messed with that, but if not I would. Google all the different apns they use and try entering them manually
