Help Excessive battery useage for Alarm Clock Plus

[Rockman]

I use Alarm Clock Plus for my work alarm clock. Usually I have it set at 930pm every night. Occasionaly I add a second alarm if I have to go in early. I will then skip the 930pm alarm, and sometimes I will skip the early alarm if I wake up early. That happened tonight. Now, when I do this and check the battery usage it shows that the Alarm Clock Plus has the highest battery useage, like 49 percent as of this post. I don't really understand what is going on. It only seems to do it, if I skip a preset alarm. It really appears to the drain the battery.

Soooo WTF is going on?

Those percentages can be deceiving. 49 percent means that it has used 49 percent of the battery used so far. So when your total battery percentage is 95 percent, this alarm has used 49 percent of the 5 percent used. Which happens when it is the main app you've been staring it the first half an hour of the day.
Do a full charge, use your phone normally throughout the day and check your stats when the battery is almost dead. If this app still has used 49 percent of the battery, get rid of it.

I have the exact same problem with that app Rockman!
I even emailed the developer about it months ago with no response.
I love the app and will continue to use it but I just need to remember to shut off the second alarm if I don't use it.

Ahh perhaps a work around is to just use 1 alarm and change the properties of it, instead of making a second alarm. I'll try that..

Right I understand, perhaps I misspoke. I know its used 49 percent of the total battery usesage. If the battery is at 70 percent, then its used 49 percent of that 30 percent total useage. In anycase the amount of the battery Alarm Clock Plus uses at times seems excessive. See above for possible resolution..



Thanks..
