Do not update Google Gesture Search! It will ruin your phones battery life! 2.2

[OMGWTF_BBQ]

I was watching my battery DROP today while I was at work and couldn't figure out why. I tried watching everything via OSMonitor and kept checking my battery meter to see what was draining it.

I just finally figured it out. Google's Gesture Search and it's newest version decimated my EVO running Stock 2.2. It wasn't showing on my battery status by now it is.


Here's your proof:


If anyone else is having battery problems uninstall, Gesture Search. Hopefully I will save someone from a dead EVO tomorrow.

I'm not sure if this is isolated but I did read through the Gesture Search comments on the Market and I'm not the only EVO 2.2 user having this issue. So I thought I'd just share it with you all before someone ventures out on an important daily task and has a dead EVO after 3 hours.
