Anyone notice high 'partial wakelock' times with RTM?

joegtd says:
I recently installed Spare Parts from the market, and noticed that RTM has by far the highest partial wakelock time - my understanding is that this means RTM is keeping the phone from sleeping, thus consuming more power, so greater battery drain.

If you haven't already, it would be worthwhile to restart your phone by turning it off and back on.

You may also want to decrease your sync/location times, which can also affect the battery.

If the problem continues, it would be more worthwhile to check Settings | About phone | Battery use, as the partial wake usage doesn't necessarily indicate how much battery is being consumed. (We maintain a background service to manage synchronizations, so this must keep running in the background, but should consume very little battery.)

Hope this helps! Keep me posted on what you find.

I restarted the phone and that seems to have solved the problem for now, without changing the sync settings.

If you're syncing often that requires your phone to be awake. It's not a design flaw, just how things work.

Me personally, I have my sync schedule set for every 1 day.
