Android Phone Battery Help

Jan 10, 2011 14:03

A few weeks ago, I downloaded updates for a bunch of the apps on my Android phone. Since then, my battery life has gone to hell. The phone lasts like 1/3 to 1/2 as long as it used to. Can anyone suggest how I can figure out/fix the problem? Is there some sort of "What's eating my battery" app?

I keep GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi off, though I suppose it's possible that one of the apps is overriding that.

How would I be able to determine if one of the apps is overriding my settings on GPS/WiFi/Bluetooth?

What do you mean, a hoax? Do they not kill apps, or do they tell you apps are running when they're not? I've suspected the latter, but if the former is true that sucks.

What's WebOS? I don't see it in the Android market, so I guess it's not an Android app.

It's Palm's OS for their phones.
