Something doesn't sound right.

First of all, I'd advise you not using Adv Task Manager. Once I stopped using that, my battery life has been significantly better. It has settings that make it want to keep scanning your runnings apps/proceses and it can kill your battery and force high awake times. Make sure you check settings on it to ensure there aren't any AUTOMATIC settings turned on.

Also, Facebook app was killing my friend's phone because it kept getting stuck trying to receive notifications. Since it's not showing up on your PARTIAL WAKE STATUS on Spare Parts, it's probably not the case, but keep that one in mind.

I also have started using Close Everything occassionally (once every day or two) to make sure things are ok. It doesn't actively try to close things, just anything that may be causing problems with the phone sleeping.


My Awake time is at around 10% now and I've got a few of the same apps as you.


How much free memory do you have on your phone? When you open App Manager, how much does it say is free? I've noticed if I have less than 30MB free, my phone seems to go nuts. I try to keep my memory free around 50MB, if possible. This includes clearing caches. I use Cachemate (Root required) which clears all caches with one click.


The other thing I was say is don't check your phone's status so much. Let the darn thing sleep. Try to let your phone do its thing for a while, don't keep plugging/unplugging it because you're trying to see what the AWAKE time does. The longer your phone is unpluged, the lower your AWAKE time should be. The inverse is also true, since certain processes have to run once you unplug your phone.


Try leaving it alone for a while (at least a few hours) and see what it does.
