Ah it says beautiful Widgets which I suspected. But how do I fix that cause I want to use beautiful widgets

Check the settings in Beautiful Widgets. I believe there's a setting that turns the phone on to check for weather updates. You should be able to turn that off.
I'm not using it right now so I'll redownload it from the market and check.

Hmm, couldn't find that option. It's probably waking the phone when it refreshes the weather. What's your refresh interval? I'd set it to something longer or just refresh manually. If you're using geolocation then that could be a problem too.

It was a hour thought I had it on 4 hours so put it on that and geolocation Is on I also just deleted the animation pack for when u turn the phone on. Even if the refresh was a hour it keeps it the phone up 100% every second. I always get a notification for geolocation how it can't locate maybe that's constantly trying to locate

Seems like geolocation is the culprit. If you're usually in one city, just input that city instead of using geolocation, it'll save battery too.
If all else fails, you can try the app "Permissions Denied". Disable the permission in BW that lets it keep the phone from sleeping. The first time I used the app, I lost my settings after rebooting to make them take effect. After setting it back up and rebooting again, everything has worked fine since.

Deffiantly was beautiful Widgets w.e I did to it it is now fixed. Turned of geolocation deleted animation pack so one of those were the culprits and either way animation pack was annoying

I am fully rooted running the latest Baked Snack beta and Pandora goes dead when the phone screen turns off. I assume it has something to do with the task management built into the Rom that I am using but have no idea how I would go about changing it

If you have an app killer instaled make sure you ignore pandora on it and it will continue to play...hope this helps...

Have no idea about this on Baked Snack. The only thing about task killing I see in in spare parts. I will fiddle around with things though, thanks for the input!
Make sure your data isn't set to turn off when the phone sleeps.

Also, check your Pandora settings (menu button) as I seem to remember a setting in there that may turn it off when the screen is off... (From memory, might be wrong)...
Go to your mobile network settings, and there check "enable always on mobile data"
Also, if you have any apps like juice defender, they can turn of data when the screen is off.
I have done everything imaginable to improve battery life and my battery monitor shows that 93% of my battery is taken up by my screen. I always thought this was a good thing as it means my system isnt raping my battery.
Im using syndicate 1.2 and i have everything disabled drm/sns/sys update etc etc.
I just dont understand how my battery gets drained so quick. Honestly with regular usage (no games...just browsing and news) on a regular battery it maybe will last 6-7 hours. Doesn't really make alot of sense to me. Was hoping I could narrow down specifically what may be causing it.
Im using beautiful widgets (static location, switcher pro widget, calwidget and thats seriously it with launcher pro. I should be getting great battery life
try spare parts from the market.
hm good suggestion i didnt know it had that feature lol or i just havent opened the program in so long. I removed pandora/winamp/shazam widgets from my phone to see how that makes a difference.
quick question if you know...i know gps isnt supposed to use battery unless a program is accessing it but i hear people say to turn it off all the time. I have seek droid installed as well as lookout and I'd like to keep gps on but if its draining battery just by being 'on' without being used i'll leave it off.
Yeah, widgits will wipe out your battery. Especially if they are constantly updating....

Or, you can pay for Titanium Pro or Bloat Freezer And freeze apps that run even when not in use like Maps,Poweramp,Root Tools, there are lots that do that I bought Bloat Freezer and found out even Google+ runs when not in use. I had like 16 running unknown to me. Launcher Pro was and I use Zeam....

I have launcher pro and I don't think I can get around its usage I just don't get how the programs are raping my battery while not being used. Like pandora or winamp widget shouldt be doing a single thing unless I click them. Same for shazam etc. I want to have access to them via widget but have them frozen if not being used

You can't have your cake and eat it too. The best thing I can recommend is to put app shortcuts on your home screen, you can afford 1 more tap but you can't magically add more battery.
Also turn down your screen brightness. The display is the biggest drain on your battery than anything else. I can literally watch the percentages click away while browsing or reading through XDA. Screen off I use about 1% an hour. Reading XDA I can drop from the 90's to the 70's in 20 minutes.

Yup and XDA runs in the background when not in use..kind of disappointing. I use this app more than any other these days

I charge my phone to 100% before bed, turn off the sync, and don't use it at all overnight. I'll wake up in the morning and it's drained down 15% or so without touching it. When I check my battery usage, it shows that about 4-5 hours after unplugging it, something wakes up the phone and keeps it awake causing a dip in the battery level. There aren't any apps that are doing it as the main battery user is the Android System.
Now, if I reboot the phone while still on the charger before bed and allow the phone to return to 100%, this drain doesn't happen. I'll wake up and have 95-97% battery.
Any help or ideas?
BTW: I'm running Calkulins ROM 2.8 with and EL29 but this has happened since before I rooted the phone.
Download betterbatterystats from the market. Let the phone sit overnight again and view partial wakelocks.
Or turn the phone's airplane mode on...
I'll try the app. I can't really use airplane mode because I need to phone on for emergencies. Thanks.

If you don't need data, you can turn that off along with sync. Calls will still come through

I'll try that too. I got the app today so I'll see what happens tonight when I don't reset before unplugging and check the drain.
Have you tried Lunesta?

Couldn't convince the phone to swallow the pill.
I figured it out with that app. Slacker Radio was the problem. I used the it during the day and didn't exit out from the app. I guess Android killed the process because it was idle for so long because it wasn't coming up in the Active Applications app but it was still active in the background. The app mentioned earlier showed me that Slacker was active for over 2 hours while the phone was sitting, screen off, overnight. That's why when I rebooted before bed, the drain didn't happen. I just have to make sure to exit out and close the app when I'm done with it. Thanks for the help.
Even exiting the app via the in app menu causes the problem. The only thing I've found to completely fix it is to either reboot the phone sometime after using the app or clearing the RAM via the included task manager. I sent an email to Slacker support and they told me to use the app menu to exit out, well that doesn't fix it. Hopefully it'll be addressed in a future update from them.
Is there an app I can use to see what apps are accessing Gps ony phone? I swear every 5 minutes Gps is activating and trying to locate me! I think it's really hurting my battery life.

Wipe cache nd dalvik and fix permissions, as of gingerbread programs cant effect GPS directly.
So its ur config, sorry to have to break it to ye..
Also, side note, if no GPS required apps are running, ur GPS doesnt actually try to triangulate unless requested.. so..
Basicly it would be using ur battery if on, but no connections would really be made unless u see the triangulating icon by clock..
That's the icon that I always see. It blinks a few times then stops. Sometimes it stays solid for a a few seconds before it turns off. could it be Google latitude causing it?

Quite possibly actually. Try clearin data for it and maps then booting TO CWM and clearing cache and rebooting
Did as you described. Problem still there. I can't understand. It's even blinking while I type this!

OK I discovered the culprit. Skyvi was trying to Gps my location at all times. I guess their new beacon feature is not really optimized yet.

Weird deal - so I checked screen stay awake under dev options to keep my screen on while charging at work.
However, every time I reboot it disappears. As do any other checked options.
Why? How can I get it to stay!!
Its just the way it is as of now, so you'll have to re-check them.
thanks for the information, at least I know it is not something wrong with my device.
What was Samsung thinking?!?!?
They probably did that in case people forgot it's checked. So that their screens won't stay on indefinitely......
Stay awake while charging
Any updates on this, it is very annoying. Every time I reboot I have to recheck the "stay awake while charging". With all the stuff that we can do after rooting I find it hard to believe that this can not be fixed.
Use Tasker. You can use it to keep your screen on indefinitely while on AC or USB and then set it back to normal when you unplug.
