Is this 'held awake' mentioned some kind of wakelock?
Wakelock is a function used by some apps that do not allow the device to sleep. If that happens, then the device may look idle, the screen might be off, but the device is awake and not properly sleeping, this means high energy consumption compared to no wakelock and proper sleep.
For example, I use a Samba fileshare server app, this once activated installs a wakelock so the device never sleeps again until app is deactivated. There is a reason for this because the Samba server needs all resources to be able to serve requests, but for practical reasons I always have the device on charger power when running Samba. |
