Re: Google Talk Keeps Reactivating After Update

I noticed this right away. I also thought my battery was getting killed, and it may be, but my test will be tonight. I will leave gtalk running in the background (but signed out and all that, if I kill it entirely, gmail won't push) and see what I lose in battery overnight. Last night, with wifi, gps and everything on, I lost 1% in 6 hours while I was sleeping. That was my best to date, usually it's 3-5%. Anything much more than that and I'll know this is screwing with my battery.

I can't speak for when it's on yet. I think this update has everyone all flustered and thus constantly checking their phones, thereby draining the battery faster than usual.
