If you go into the details of your app, you will see the things it is doing
that are resulting in the approximated usage -- amount of time spent running
the CPU (as reported by the kernel), time keeping the GPS running.

The wording on the battery usage screen is:
"Battery used by applications when running."
So what does "running" mean? Is it the time when any activity or
service of an app is between onResume and onPause? If it means that
when my application is consuming CPU resources (e.g., has threads that
ar
I would have to check but 40% does not mean that your app used 40% of
the battery but that your app was responsible for 40% of the battery
consumption. Even if that consumption was only 3% of the total battery
capacity.

I am indeed sleeping (I'll check out the other threads, thanks for the
tip). From a battery usage perspective, I can't imagine that sleeping
vs. alarm has any bearing though. Also, I forgot to mention that
when the phone's screen turns off, my background service suspends
itself (via Thread.slee
FWIW I am having battery issues recently that are entirely blamed on
'cell standby' and 'phone idle' (on the order of 43%/42%, with a
couple of apps thrown in for luck at the bottom.)
I initially tried to blame nagdroid (15 min polling or some such) but
disabled polling and its still bad. :/

The G1 and Sapphire don't have a current meter on the battery, so the
battery levels they show are approximate based on complicated software in
the radio and kernel monitoring what is happening in the system. The
battery usage UI is also an approximation of power consumption, based on
another kind
I was going to post basically the same thing but his 3%-after-2-hours
measurement doesn't really agree with that.

By running your background task every 2secs your are basically keeping
the phone permanently on. Even though your app is not using much CPU
it has to wake the phone from any sleep state every 2secs. So it
either will not allow the phone to sleep or mostly keep it awake.
