This turns out to be a known bug. There appear to be some workarounds for some phones with some OS releases. If I can test for phone type and release level I can have my app apply the appropriate workaround if available.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3708 However, I can't tell from this thread what the situation is for each combination of OS and phone and there is no indication of when this might be completely fixed with a partial wake lock solution. Does anyone know who at Google owns this bug? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
