WeatherBug runs battery down!!

[Ed Blown Vert]

I don't noticed any drain on the battery and the temp is in the notification area.

I just deleted WB today. I installed Where and it gives me the temp anyway, so why do I need two apps telling me the temp. The only think I liked about Weatherbug was the temp in the top corner..it's not worth the batter drain to me.

Mine has no battery drain either.

The GPS doesn't drain your battery that much and weatherbug barely at all.

You need to pull up the proper tools rather than guessing. Download Spare Parts, and look at what uses your battery in the settings area.

Screen uses the most. Voice uses the second most.

Instead of guessing by turning stuff off and on look at the tools. GPS uses next to nothing and weatherbug is nothing at all.

My problem too is that I have it set for 6 hr updates but it seems to continuously update several times each hour. I think this is why it was draining my battery so much. I'm not sure.

There's no question that it had a negative impact on my battery at first. I installed it in the evening, with the phone on the charger at 100%. I went to bed at midnight, taking the phone off the charger. When I got up at 7am, the battery had dropped all the way to 70%. Normally, I see it drop to 90% for that same time period.

I suspect it's still dropping faster than before, but with the location feature turned off, it's within acceptable levels for me.
