... and this is going on continuously while the phone is idle. The phone suspends but it immediately wakes up, seemingly because a very short alarm is set ("active wake lock alarm_rtc, time left XX", XX is in milliseconds), then it suspends again, and wakes up again immediately, and so on. I don't know who is setting this alarm.
