Tweetcaster - battery killer!

[brianct1972]

I've been having very poor battery life (Rooted on ABv5) and even went out and picked up the extended battery at VZW yesterday.

With the extended battery in, I went to bed with the phone on, not charging, at 75%. This morning, 7 hours later, the phone was at 25%, a pretty big drain. Tweetcaster has always been set to manually update, but when I checked the battery life stats, it had used 48% overnight!

I just uninstalled it, and am trying out another app called Seesmic to see if there is any difference. Anyone else having that significant of a battery drain running Tweetcaster?

I use tweetcaster and haven't noticed it draining my battery. I also have it set to manually update (just the shake) and I just make sure I close it out when I'm done.

I never closed it out, I would just hit the home key to exit.....

There ya go. Just hit the Back button instead of the Home key and you should be good to go...
