Question about icons and battery life....

[thecaptain]

Okay, so instead of keeping all my app icons in my "app drawer" I have all my favorite ones on my homescreens taking up a total of 3 screens. Is this affecting my battery life for some odd reason? I know about the SMS trick to help prolong battery life, but is there anything else I should do to try to make it last longer? Someone had mentioned before that they keep their homescreens free of anything and keep all their apps in their drawer, so I didn't know if I should keep this up.

icons won't affect battery life (minimally, if they do at all), but widgets can.

I only have 3 widgets installed currently: I have a YouTube widget, a battery widget and a clock on my main screen. I kept the clock and killed the other two so I hope this helps because it's getting out of hand on a day to day basis.

battery widgets are known to kill your battery, or used to be anyway.

What kind of battery life are you getting? And with what kind of use?
