HTC Droid Eris :: Apps That Prevent Phone From Sleeping
Dec 6, 2009
As I continue to downlaod and try new apps, I notice that some of the permissions that some of them have are/is: "Prevent phone from sleeping". I didn't think much about it, but after conditioning my phone...for a few days I was getting around 11% awake time, now after a few of these apps after a recharge this AM I am showing 26%...before the charge my awake time was very high again. I always use Adavanced Task Killer after messing with the phone, 9/10 trials.

Why do so many of the applications say they prevent the phone from sleeping? Is this a problem if the applications are left open or a problem with the applications all of the time no mater if they are open or not?

I've been having poor battery life with my Droid Eris and downloaded Spare Parts to find out what was the cause of it. According to Spare Parts my phone is spending nearly 86% of the time without sleeping (Nearly 10h out of the 11 1/2h since my phone was unplugged) I tried to find a possible app that was causing the problem but couldn't find anything unusual.

I followed Caddyman's instructions on what to do if the Native SMS app was keeping my phone awake all the time. After rebooting and letting it sleep for 10 minutes, my phone is still at 100%. I just got it last night so I just have Weather Bug, Handcent SMS, Facebook, Gmail, and Peep installed. I've never had a smart phone so it's possible on of the other settings is keeping it awake, but I have no clue which it would be.

While my phone is in the locked/sleep mode, occasionally the music player starts up. I'm guessing I somehow push a button to start it - but can't seem to make it happen when I try. And - I don't realize it is playing until I unlock my phone, and see the music title scrolling across the screen.

so I have spare parts installed and my running time is usually 100% or close to it. I'm assuming there is a stuck process or something that is keeping the phone from sleeping. Is there an easy way to find and kill it?

I am concerned my phone isnt going fully to sleep. My battery seems to drop about 20% in about 4 hours of just sitting there not doing anything. It also takes a long time before the phone idle shows up on my battery use screen. Is there anyway to check awake vs asleep times like you can on the evo?

It showed my phone had been running (not sleeping) for almost all 12 hours since last time unplugged. So, I methodically plugged away to try to figure out which program I was running that caused the phone not to go into sleep mode and it looks like it's Maps. I rebooted my phone, plugged in (to reset the since last unplugged timer), turned the phone off for a few minutes a checked the running time and it was normal. I started maps, plugged in, turned it off for a few minutes, then checked the running time and it was pegged at 100%. I did the process a 2nd time and got the exact same results.
In addition, I think killed Maps using System Panel and that did not fix the issue. The phone still wasn't sleeping. I wonder if maybe Maps is calling up some other process and it's the other process that's causing the phone not to go to sleep. Anyone have any ideas? Can anyone else test this as well to confirm or refute? Perhaps this is why some people are getting way better battery life than others? I'm interested to see how my battery does tomorrow........................

Is there an app out there that will not just stop a program from starting up but from running at all? I have to continually kill progs like Footprints (or something), Amazon mp3 store, etc. I'd like to streamline the phone and only have programs running that are essential.

Swype is really great, BUT: Sometimes I need to write in a language other than English. I found this nearly impossible with swype. It keeps trying to force English words on me. There should be an easy way to prevent swype to offer English (or any) words altogether. I want to be able to use Swype so it takes whatever word I swyped (swope?) in. There should be an easily accessible toggle control to allow this.

How in the world do you prevent the screen from auto-dimming? And yes, I do have that setting unchecked. When I have my phone plugged in and it's using Nightwatch as a deskclock, after a bit that screen dims. Help me stop it!
P.S. I did search the forum and I don't want to load Screebl

Ex: If I click phone and attempt to dial/search for a number, it just scrolls down by itself.
This is very irritating. How do I prevent this from happening?

I know how to prevent screen timeout normally, but is there a way to only prevent it during Music Playback? I'd like to place it on the treadmill and not have to continue to tap the end button to get the screen to light back up and show the song/album art.

Any recommended calendar apps? I'd like a calendar which was more like my BB one. This one is limited a bit. I don't like the view, and there's no decent "notes" section.
I suppose I can live with it, but if there's anything else out there that's good, please give your recommendation.

I took the plunge and finally rooted my phone (hand clap!!). I flashed a custom kernel (by NETARCHY[4.0.3a]). At 1st everything worked fine (followed EarlyMon's "How to Fix FROYO"---since i lost all my data). The following day i tried another kernel (baked kernel #5). That kernel didnt work to well on my phone so I reflashed NETARCHY's kernel. When i noticed that my battery was draining quickly, i looked in my SPARE PARTS and noticed that my phone is not sleeping---problem is I dont know what it is. Do i need to do a hard reset again---or should i flash another kernel?? Stuck between a rock and a hard place
(Mods--did this in a rush, please excuse if this is posted in wrong forum)

So why does my phone change orientation in certain apps (email particularly) even though I don't rotate the phone? Is there a setting for this I just cannot find?

I stepped on my first Eris (don't ask) and had to get a replacement through Asurion. Well, I thought when I got my new phone I would be able to redownload all the apps I had purchased but I cant. The Market wants me to pay for them all again. I guess the market tracks you specifially with your phone, not your account. So I called Verizon, of course they were no help. The chick didn't even try to help, I asked her if I could get those apps back and she stalled for a second like she really didnt know but also didnt want to take the time to find out, then she said NOPE. I was like man, that sucks, she said YEP! That was the end of the conversation. Surely there is a way for me to get these apps back without paying for them again? I know they are inexpensive but when you have 10 or so they start to add up! Not to mention I had my first phone for less than a month and hardly got to enjoy the apps I purchased. I've thought about emailing the dev's but dont know if thats a good approach or not.
