Re: Screen keeps turning on by itself...

I have had an airave and now an Airvana (similar to the airave but also supports 3G) and neither ever stopped the problem of my phone randomly waking up.

One very interesting observation is whenever anyone "associates" with my Airvana it wakes my phone back up. For instance, when my wife comes home from work or my son comes home from school, the screen on my phone will light up as their cars approach my house. It used to happen a lot more often until I created an exclusion list which now only allows phones on my account to connect to my airvana.
I can also tell right when its going to happen because the mobile light on the airvana begins to blink and then my phone lights up.

The biggest problem is at night. I turn my ringer off and if I forget to put my phone face down, it will light up like a beacon of it changes signal.

I've been battling with it for years with many of my smart phones and never found a solution other than to keep it plugged in at night, turn it off or put it face down. I set my screen off time while on charger to 30 secs so it doesn't stay on too long.

As far as battery life goes, I am on a recent energy rom 23xxx build and get close to 48 hours of battery (using MAXX battery cab) along with my 1800maH EVO batttery which fits our phones too.
