My battery is draining big time with 2.1 now. Your process above gives the culprit of my 100% awake time as the Android System. How do you remedy that? Or what does that signify?
One day of battery is pretty normal for a PDA..
I'm dying here! (hi--from a newbie)
I am pretty stupid when it comes to this thing. I've had it for about a month and it was fine then like last week the battery dies within a day...with NO USE. Hell one day I didn't even do anything, no internet or calls. So I went and checked to see what's using the battery and under the android system it says the first "included package" is com.htc.android.secretcontrolmodem.
what the heck is that
I've shut it off (reboot?) before but is there anything else? I am interested in if overcharging it screws it up since I charge it overnight.
But literally charged it last night, took it off the charger this am, it is now at 15% and all I've done is listened to my voicemail once and checked my mail (of which there wasn't any).
hi I've been a lurker, but this OTA 2.1 is killing me. First off authentication didn't take on the phone. Couldn't make calls and got sms error 34. Called #8899 and fixed in two minutes. Cool. So on to my question. You talk about 100% battery time. I go to settings>about phone> battery i see up-time 21:26:01 awake-time 2:21:54 not a percentage it can be turned into a percentage though, It's not 100%. So, i'm going to assume i don't have this sms bug? Am i correct?

You are correct, your up time compared to your awake time is very good. 1.5 listed the actual percentage, but 2.1 does not.
well after some reading i did that battery running "test" and it does appear i'm running at 100% which from what i've read almost sounds like i have a bug of some sort. i'm on phone with Verizon now, they say they have no record of any battery issues...hahahaha. i'm on hold now, go figure.
I have noticed that at my school I have all 4 bars and my battery drains slower. At home, I only have 1-2 bars and my battery drains faster than at school.

Along with this tip, the stock verizon visual voicemail app, if active it known to keep your phone "awake" there is no way to uninstall this app, just don't use it. Also the Youmail app will keep your phone "awake" as well.
I found that my Youmail app was the holdup on my Eris that was keeping my device from sleeping. My up time is down to ONLY 36% from a constant 100%. Hoping Youmail developers are able to update this bug since I absolutely LOVE their free VM service!
EDIT: Had to delete the app for any success in the phone actually sleeping, and the battery lasts all day for me now too!
So what was the answer? I just realized I was having this issue. 1.5, didn't have the 100% issue, now I do. Did the fix. Still draining. HELP!
