Well I can confirm what you are saying. I had the 100% issue while using Handcent however I had used the stock message app for a while first. Last night I bit the bullet and wiped the phone then reinstalled and configured everything. I must say that compared to my Touch Pro doing a hard reset and reconfiguring the phone was nearly painless in comparison! But after everything was back as I had it before wiping the phone I immediately saw evidence of the phone sleeping. Then last night I plugged the phone into my laptop as usual and let it charge overnight. When I woke up the phone hadn't slept a bit...nearly 90% awake time. But as of this morning since I've taken it off the laptop it has been sleeping regularly having dropped to 83% in just a few hours. So there is some truth to this at least on some phones. I don't see an issue with this since it's charging anyways but I assume it could possibly prolong the charging time a bit.
