A method for managing power consumption of a mobile computing device includes setting a minimum orientation and a maximum orientation for the mobile computing device, and determining a relative orientation of the mobile computing device. The relative orientation of the mobile computing device is compared to the minimum and maximum orientations. Whether to allow for the mobile computing device to be suspended is determined based on comparisons of relative orientation to the minimum and maximum orientations. A mobile computing device includes a power source and a sensor configured to determine a relative orientation of the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device further includes a means for determining if the relative orientation of the mobile computing device is greater than a minimum orientation and less than a maximum orientation, and a means for inhibiting a suspension protocol for the mobile computing device.
