Lately i've been constantly checking my battery on my phone and what things are using up the battery (Menu>Settings>About Phone>Battery) and i keep noticing sometimes that there is one thing that is using the battery a lot and its the "Dialer",

Usually when i check to see what is using up the battery it usually says:

Display 22%
Phone Idle 12%
Wifi 10%

Voice Calls 4%

AIM 3%

Now i'm seeing:

Dialer 28%
Cell Standby 26%
Display 22%
Phone Idle 12%

Wifi 5%
Voice Calls 4%

AIM 3%
Android OS 2%

Don't know why the Dialer and Cell Standby is so high usually they are lower than the Display. Anybody else having the same problem? And when i try to turn off my phone and turn it back on, I still see the same percentages even if i refresh the whole list.
 
My battery's lasting lots longer, I'm starting to think that yes there's a bug in dialer but probably a bigger bug in the battery use screen.

If I have dialer near the top usage like 11% or something and I look at dialer's details it shows like a few seconds cpu time and maybe 2 minutes wake-lock time. and this is at the end of the day where display has like an hour and a half use and maybe 30 mins voice calls. 2 mins of wake-lock shouldn't come anywhere near enough to either of those to be able to show up in batt use.
