When I check partial wake lock from betterbatterystats 0.9, there're 2 service that makes phone awake the most:
Event log service (google service)
Alarm manager. I tried dumpsys alarm and found out the service: vending.force_update_checking that runs the most.
What are 2 services, how can i disable them so the battery can last longer?
I'm using CM7.1 with faux123 1Ghz kernel.
Tks.

You can freeze updater in a program like titanium backup. I froze most Google apps and got much better battery life.

Disable background data. A quick search would reveal multiple threads on the topic and that Juice Defender can do this for you and will restore your battery life.
I got lots of wakelocks and alarm manager CPU use with juice def. But I'll try it again soon.
I freezed some google and market updater already. However, there're still 7% of event log servvice.
Are there any command like dumpsys event or something like that to analize the event log service?

Type these into terminal app:

cd /sdcard
dumpsys alarm > AlarmDump.txt

So i like monitering my Task Manager to see which apps use the most RAM/CPU. I frequently see Handcent up to 10/15% CPU usage. As a moderate texter, do you think i should add Handcent to the auto-end list and risk missing text notifications, or should I deal with the CPU usage?

I keep it running and use rom tool box to lower CPU sliders down through out the day, then raise it to show it off to people haha
But then again I always have my phone plugged in when I'm by an outlet.

Searched the forum and didn't see any info on this..so my question is....
I'm using XDA Premuim app and it just updated. I now see it using CPU cycles long after I have exited the app. Using OS Monitor and System Panel, I came up with these screenshot over a 2 hour period. The phone was just sitting on my desk with the screen off and no app open. I'm on SHOstock2 v2.2.4 and if I uninstall XDA, battery life is noticeably better. Tried Tapatalk app, and the same result.
Anyone else seeing this ?
@Mod..If this should be in Apps & Themes section, feel free to move it
Is there an app that will allow you to schedule when to kill a constant running app? Words with friends used to allow you to turn off the notifications but its no longer an option. I have heard on the Razr Max you can schedule when to kill an app after a certain set time. Any options? Thanks!
Android will do it automatically. If it's not creating a wake lock the it's not hurting anything. Apps like those burn up the battery more than they help. The task killer built into android will kill it once it needs the extra memory.

That's the reason I'm looking for something to stop it. I knew the phone will take care of it when it needs to but its more for my battery then anything else.

Try advanced task killer. You can set it up to kill at scheduled intervals.

Is there any task killer for ics? That actually works

There's absolutely no reason you need this. In any case you can slide programs off the screen to get them off memory when you are switching programs by holding down your home key. I use power hungry apps on my Android and I never need a task killer. And besides. There is no task killer that actually works. Google around and you'll see that they cause more problems than they solve. They were needed on some older 2nd Gen phones. But not on the evo 3d.

What piggyslasher said is true, as they actually do more harm than good with respect to battery life. They kill processes that come back and get killed again for a battery eating cycle.
Having said that, the only time a task killer can be useful is when a process gets out of control and starts eating CPU cycles and batteries. So, I recommend Watchdog from the Play Store. It monitors for run away apps and kills them. There is a free version and if you like it, a paid version.

Thank you guys... I dint know holding the home button will show the apps that I'm using I feel dumb

Actually, for me, holding home to display the recent and open apps, swiping them off to close them, it doesn't display all of them. If I hold home again after swiping them all away, there will be more. But non will show a 3rd time. Just a heads up if you wanted to take advantage of this.

Task killers haven't been needed since Froyo.
Home replacement Go has a built-in one in the app drawer.

I was using Go task manager for a while, it was good, but then I figured out what these other guys are saying here is true. You dont need a task manager. Android OS is managing the tasks the best way possible.
I set my min free values on my phone so that it would be more aggressive in killing apps. But I don't want to kill juice defender when I hit kill all. Is there a way to make HTC task killer on sense 4 to avoid killing the app or setting juice defenders oom values lower?

I dont think so but you could use SystemPanel which allows you to exclude the apps you want, so they wont be killed. Actually SystemPanel offers you a section called "Help" where you can read about Android as OS and how it is made and why it is actually bad to kill app via task manager apps and when to use them.
