battery/connection problem - caused by prss Reader

Hey guys,

I searched and didn't find any reference to this here. For months, I was suffering from quick battery discharges (often dead by the middle of the afternoon with very little phone use) and many missed calls that would end-up in VM.

On several occasions while driving, I noticed that my double arrow connection indicator was lighting up for about 10-15 seconds and it was happening every 45 seconds or so!! I tried changing my settings in ActiveSync, WeatherPanel, and everything that used a data connection with no results. prssReader was set to update channels every 60 minutes. I changed that to 2 hrs, then to 4 hrs with no change. It was still connecting almost continuously.

I finally decided to uninstall applications one by one. prssReader was the first to go, and viola! Problem cured.

Anyone else running this app (successfully or otherwise)???
