Is there a good method to figure out what is keeping the phone awake? Today I had terrible battery life with uptime at 32 hours and awake time at 22 hours and my phone is down to 20 percent after absolutely NO calls made on it today (it sat on my desk most of the day)
Looking at the Task Manager app I downloaded I noticed a handful of apps at 22 hours usage. So it seems to me that if a single app is keeping the phone awake, other apps will stay awake as well. I have a relative with a HTC Hero and she NEVER has any of this sleep/awake issue and she has alot of the same apps installed and running. It appears to me that the issue is either related to Android 2.1 (so hopefully 2.2 is better) or something in the 2.1 version of Sense.
It is really frustrating because just when I think I've figured out my issue and the phone sleeps, it will start acting different the following day and not sleep. But I DEFINATELY think Advanced Task Killer is necessary as when I reboot my phone and look at what is running there are PLENTY of things running that shouldn't be. For instance, VLingo, a sleep timer app, FM Radio, etc. .... a bunch of things that don't need to boot with the phone!!
