Evo LTE staying awake

[Odell]

I have been noticing that my battery life has been decreasing lately and I couldn't figure out what it was. It was still pretty decent but I noticed that my idle life wasn't as good as my first few days with the device. I noticed that the phone was staying awake a lot more often. I downloaded an app to help diagnose the problem but it never pointed me directly to the process that was keeping the device awake. Based on the screenshots below do any of you have an idea of what the problem could be? As you can see, of the 9hrs 46mins the device was on battery it was awake for almost 9hrs. My total screen on time for that period was about 1 hour. What do guys think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also left my phone off the charger last night and finally experienced the SmartSync phenomenon. The battery savings were tremendous as the device used almost no battery once SmartSync kicked in.

Under the wifi settings, do you have "best wifi performance" checked? I noticed last week when I had it checked that the Android OS total time would be pretty much equal to my on battery time and caused my battery to drain.

 

At first I thought it was some app causing a wakelock, but when I wiped and restored apps that I knew were fine, the problem came back.

My man! I remember back when I was having issues with my Wifi connectivity I went and checked that box hoping it would help. That likely caused this new issue. When I first got my Evo the idle battery life was great even when I was on Wifi. I knew something had changed and I deleted some apps and changed some synch setting and nothing worked.

 

Thank you my friend!

No problem!

 

I originally had it unchecked, but had seen some posts saying it helped with the wifi cycling, so I enabled it too.

 

Apparently they weren't kidding with that "may consumer more power" note!

I'm seeing an immediate benefit. It's been so long since I've seen any plateaus in my batter graph. All I've seen for awhile has been a steady downward slope. My idle time plateaus are back! Woot!
