No problem...I'll have more time to install more apps over the weekend. I have a feeling that it could be a yahoo fantasy football app that i downloaded that could be the problem. i'll confirm this weekend which app seems to be the app that is keeping our phones awake.

Thanks,

I've read on another site that Fring app is a battery killer....users of this app have reported great improvement in battery life after uninstall...so fring may be an app to avoid...

So Fring keeps the screen on and/or drains battery in the background? If so, GUILTY!!!!!! Otherwise, those may just be power hungry apps, but we're specifically looking for apps that keep the screen on and run background tasks all day for no good reason, sucking our batteries dry.

I think I'll add a "Power Hungry" section to the list though

Oh haha very good point, I thought you meant excluding JDizzle's input, which has been super valuable.

Yes I'd like to see these results without Juice Defender too, but that may be hard as it's probably the first thing people install on their phones. When I do my full test I'll exclude JD
