battery/connection problem - caused by prss Reader
 

Hey guys,

I searched and didn't find any reference to this here. For months, I was suffering from quick battery discharges (often dead by the middle of the afternoon with very little phone use) and many missed calls that would end-up in VM.

On several occasions while driving, I noticed that my double arrow connection indicator was lighting up for about 10-15 seconds and it was happening every 45 seconds or so!! I tried changing my settings in ActiveSync, WeatherPanel, and everything that used a data connection with no results. prssReader was set to update channels every 60 minutes. I changed that to 2 hrs, then to 4 hrs with no change. It was still connecting almost continuously.

I finally decided to uninstall applications one by one. prssReader was the first to go, and viola! Problem cured.

Anyone else running this app (successfully or otherwise)???
:scratch:

You should be able to set the retrieval up to only look when you want. Newsbreak and a couple of other ones I have used allowed me to look just once a day. Look for the settings, they tend to hide them.

You are correct. However, it didn't seem to matter what I setting I selected -- it still connected faster than Lindsey Lohan looking for booze.

Have you tried the last one on this list. http://pda.jasnapaka.com/prssr/FAQ.p...-props-of-site
