iphone relative uptime?

Is there an API accessible timer on the iPhone that does not increment when the device is sleeping?

Have you tried just setting up your methods like this:

-(void)someMethod{
    //Whatever code you wanted to run
    [self performSelector:@selector(someMethod) withObject:nil afterDelay:1.0];
}

I would assume that this doesn't execute when the device is sleeping. You could of course invalidate all your timers in the appDelegate's applicationWillEnterBackground method, then re-enable them when you resume.

Good luck,
