What would be great for the sake of this original posting, if your phone is still sleeping regularly (evidenced by a steady drop of %), do soft resets and see if your phone still sleeps regularly when sitting idle. What else happens with each soft-reset is the Total Awake and Sleep timer will refresh to zero.
If your phone is like mine, the soft-resets will trigger your phone to never sleep. Freaking Hero insomnia--My Hero is downloading a hidden methamphetamine widget from Market. If it doesn't happen, your phone is great and mine really needs to be exchanged. The Total Awake and Sleep timer are 100% and the timers are perfectly synced after plenty of soft-resets.

Well, like a dummy I soft reset my phone out of morbid curiosity. And yes we are back to 100% awake time. So the moral is if you want it to sleep as of now you have to hard reset, disable default message app, install Handcent or equivilent, then never touch the phone again. One good note, this time when I soft reset the phone it didn't mess handcent all up...I suppose that's progress. I really hope HTC fixes this as they say they will. I never turn my phone off really, but I don't like having to worry about it if I do.
