Help Losing battery power!

[jeffj318]

Hello Tech Heads - Just got my SG2 recently and the battery life was superb. I went to work and came home and had about 70-72% showing. Now, I had added Lookout, Ebay and Craigslist, Business calendar .... but made sure to clean up things as the day went along. I don't use the phone for surfing too much at work and no game play, etc. Now, I am getting to mid day and finding the battery at 30% or even less. I have the bloatware that came with the phone. I did stop Lookout and Ebay and left Craigslist and Business Calendar up. Screen brightness set to automatic. I don't see anywhere I can stop Craigslist and then sign on when I really need it. I do a force close if that helps. I will see what happens now .... any thoughts why I would see such a dip in battery life?

If you noticed after one of those apps I'd say its one of those apps.

I remember having a similar problem. I also had Lookout and eBay. I don't use Lookout anymore and I haven't been on eBay much so it isn't notifying me of anything. I suspect Lookout but I'm not sure. You can go to settings > battery and see what is using the most. I usually have 75%-80% battery left when I get home from work. I think I had about 60% or less when I was trying Lookout, but I was also using eBay at the same time. I use Avast now and no battery problems.

Read this thread, check the apps that are safe to disable and do that to all you do not use.
