Figured out why Froyo killed my bettery life.

[brushrop03]

Yeah Google Talk ate up my battery for a few days.

This was the Key to my battery drain!

I had noticed worse battery life too but attributed it to being in my head. Saw thiathread and it fixed my problem. Thanks.

also go into sprint zone and turn off all the automatic updates there is a ton of them.

Opps Just deleted sprint zone. I wonder if it will still do auto updates?

Nice reminder about the gtalk! Just did it.

damn, its the simplest things!! thanks for the reminder!!

Open Latitude, then click menu, and the icon with the 3 people bottom row middle, can't remember the name. But go there then the top option is turn off latitude.

This isn't quite right. To stop the application once it is running: open latitude, click on privacy in the menu, and then the top option is to turn it off.

Took me a bit to find this, not sure why they hid it in privacy settings.
But, I actually got an email from google today warning me that latitude was running on my phone! Nice guys, hehe.

our battery has been HORRIBLE! I've just done the google talk, latitude, and sprint zone. Hope this helps.

I'm missing something, I open Latitude and it looks like Google Maps?

Then it says "Joining Latitude", then comes up with a screen that asks if I would like to share, I answer "Don't accept". Now I'm basically looking at Google Maps, then hit menu>more>Terms Privacy & Notices>Privacy Policy.

Does that sound about right? Because I see nothing to turn off.

same as above

You're not signed in. If you select the 3 person icon, it will ask you to accept (if you do accept) it will then sign you in. From here you can reach the privacy menu where you can select to sign out of latitude.

so in short - you aren't signed in.

 

[shandroid]

Thanks for the reminder!! I didn't redo that.

Although, i'm currently getting "could not connect to server willl retry shortly, so i can't do anything until it signs in.

edit: in now, thanks

ok thanks, I did the above, does that mean if I never signed in then it was never on?

 

[bc_co]

sorry for the likely dumb question - but Latitude... that's not on my app list...

what am I missing? Thx...

It appears so. I certainly didn't have any latitude processes running prior to.
