I think that's a too inactive term! It's checking with the cell towers 
regularly, waiting to see if there are any messages or emails. It's 
sending location data, also possibly using bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi to see 
what's going on nearby, and who knows what else. I would say it's just 
"got its eyes closed" while doing what it's been told to do. :-)

The lifting it up thing is interesting. I wonder if that's done with an 
accelerometer? If so, it would be checking that too.
