Do adds reduce battery life?
Just occured to me that all these adds take power to run. What do you think? Can we get better battery life if we got rid of the adds?

Re: Do adds reduce battery life?
I guess I'm ignorant, but what's an add? I'm having some serious issues with my battery life, so I'm willing to try anything at this point.

The OP is referring to the various ads that appear on some free apps on his Evo

Sorry about the duplicate thread, saw immediately that I spelled ad wrong and tried to edit. I am referring to the ads in most of the marketplace apps. Noticed they are always streaming along and figured they had to be contributing to premature battery drainage.
