Help Bic Lighter?

[bigbadwulff]

I downloaded the Bic Lighter app as a 'joke' for a relative that was entertaining us. I'm not into that kind of thing. But anyway.
I turned it on to show someone and used it maybe for 10 seconds. For some odd reason I checked the battery usage maybe one-half hour after and it said the Bic Lighter app had used 4% of the battery(was the middle of the day, not just starting the day).
Is this app doing something in the background it shouldn't?

Anyone else notice this?

I downloaded (and have since uninstalled) that app, too. I didn't notice that problem, but I didn't have the app for very long, either. When you installed it, did you happen to notice what areas/information the app accesses in the security warning? I can't recall, myself.

Will look in Market or App Brain....

Crap. Can't see that info after you've loaded it.

A few replies say "battery eater". I made one myself stating it must be doing something in the background...even if that is staying on.

Good thing is my phone didn't catch on fire

UNINSTALLED!

I've got it and it didn't do that to mine.

I'm assuming you've checked your battery status. Maybe there's a glitch in the program to where it stays 'on' if you shut it down 'incorrectly'.

OK, so yesterday I turned on the Bic for about 1 minute before I responded to this thread, backed out of it to shut it down and have not turned it on since. Checked my battery status again this morning. Bic has used 6% of my battery since unplugged (1 hour)...it's uninstalled now. OP you are right, bad app.

It stays running in the background, you have to kill it with a task killer.
