Go into the Blockbuster app and update it. Then set auto update/syncing/whatever to off.

Installed any other apps that might have DRM'ed content or video/music playing etc?

I have that running on my TB right now and it is not causing that kind of battery drain. So it must be something that is USING it, not that actual service.

Still, I haven't heard of this Blockbuster issue... goes to investigate.

its a known runaway app. there is a thread on it.

after u update and disable auto update for the BB app it might still be in ur running processes but will no longer use any mem and power.


as for the OP. try turning off Bluetooth, wifi and gps when not in use. when at home or in a location with wifi switch to wifi.

turn down ur display brightness or leave it on auto.
there are alot of factors in battery drain. if its an app it should show in ur battery usage in settings.

good luck.
