Memo to my HTC Evo: You are a battery draining succubus that I cannot quit!!!

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Mar 29 '11, 14:30

You've nearly left me high and dry in some of the seediest parts of San Francisco, phone-less at my kid's bed time, and calendar-less when I needed to know what my next appointment was. Yet, I keep coming back to you.

As we sit here, I have you suckling the few precious ounces of battery life left in my laptop because I have made the decision that you matter more than it.

Do you leave your GPS o+r WiFi on a lot? - Guy Mar 29, 14:39 4
- WiFi and 4G are off (as much as it pains me) but GPS must remain on as I need the phone primarily for directions and mapping. -- nm - Mop Mar 29, 14:40 3
  - Well, there's your problem. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 14:43
  - I just flip that on when I need it (usually only takes a minute or two). - Guy Mar 29, 14:42
  - constantly? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 14:41
Watchdog Lite. It watches for apps using lots of power and alerts you. Also, turn of wifi if you aren't using it. If you leave - TWuG Mar 29, 14:38
A friend recommended an "app killer" for the droid I have, it works great. - MDH Mar 29, 14:35 2
- Yup. Killing apps left and right. -- nm - Mop Mar 29, 14:40 1
  - That, too, could be your problem. The phone is more efficient if you aren't killing every app running in the background. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 14:50
