Didn't see your post until now.
Honestly, I downloaded Advanced Task Killer from the market.
Some people say not to do this because Android has it built in and what not. But I'm just using common sense. I run it probably twice a day. Certain apps like Sprint Navigation, Fring, Qik, etc like to start up at random times without me knowing. So I just kill them. Don't autokill with ATK, just manually do it. Auto kill can get tricky.
(Now I know the whole debate about task killers, but I don't see any harm done to my phone at all. I recommend it actually. Some say it will cause your phone to reboot randomly, but I have not experienced this at all. They all say Linux utilizes memory differently than Windows. Which is true, but in the real world, I am noticing better battery life with ATK.)
The ATK should take care of your up and awake time being the same.
Other things I do:
Use wi-fi at work and home. Just less strain from the 3G radio always looking for signal. (I usually get 1-3 bars at home.)
Auto-Sync....this is a big one to me. I turned off auto sync for weather completely. I just manually update it. Works for me. I turned off news and stocks also. I'm playing around with G-mail settings right now for the auto sync.
I turned off GPS location. I wasn't using this feature a lot. You can try to keep it on if you want. The only thing I noticed this doing was that it found me more precisely when I used Google Maps. I don't mind activating this when I need to use GPS.
I hope that helps man. Like I said, you don't have to turn off all these things. Just tweak it the way it suits you best. I tweaked mine to suit me best. Others may not agree but I enjoy everything about this phone and I use all the features it has to offer.
