i noticed the same thing, along w/ the native message app. there is a problem w/ the scripts continuing to run after you kill them w/ taskiller/task panel/ etc. sprint/google will hopefully recognize this and remedy the situation.
i recently switched to handcent sms after trying chompsms for a week. by disabling the native message app and making sure it's killed, i was able to decrease my awake vs. up time substantially.
however, chomp wasn't sending me mms messages and i would have to resort to the native app to open them. this, obviously, would increase the up time and start the whole problem over.
handcent receives mms messages fine, but even w/ native message app killed, my up time is over 64% and rising
any help?
thanks in advance
