Has anyone who updated the new facebook app yesterday notice your battery take a Big hit after charging over night..Seems theres a bug that causes the phone not to sleep after it syncs your contacts..

My personal experience today was phone unplugged at 8am and down to 75% by 10:30...Ive been running fresh froyo edition since sunday night with netarchys FPS Fix kernal and have had excelent battery life.But today was very bad and since the only thing i updated last night was the face book 1.3 update I can only assume this is the issue..Heres a link to where I heard about this.

Yeah, I saw the same thing. It sucked... literally. I think it is because it stays connected to check for notifications automatically. I ended up uninstalling it an hour after it got installed.
