Android battery drain

coltjames says:
On my Nexus S I noticed my battery went from full to shutoff in 4 hours. I checked the phone battery usage and found that rememberthemilk had used 55% of the battery. It dwarfed all other usages including the display. This is unacceptable and I am forced to uninstall. The phone battery usage report was just over 4 hours so its not a small sampling. The same 4 hours that it went from full to dead.

This is very disappointing as I love Remember The Milk and use it all the time.

Please let me know when this issue is fixed so I can reinstall and update my review to 5 stars.

Would it be possible to submit an Android app issue report via our support system, if you haven't done so already? We'd love to get more details on this so we can take a closer look.

Just select your issue from the list on the left, and follow the steps shown. If your issue isn't listed, click on "I'd like to report a new issue".

Your report should provide all the info that we need to investigate further, but we'll be in touch via email if we require any more details.

Thanks!

I had that happening as well. Super-fast drain of battery.
What I did was increasing the time limit of checking GPS for location to 15 minutes.

I noticed, that I was checking my tasks often enough to not rely on GPS alone.

That seemed to help. Give it a try ...

I make it through the whole day with one charge now (Moto Droid).

I've only seen it once, and that was when I left an RTM notification sitting in the android notification bar (HTC desire). Normal usage with RTM installed and running but without a notification showing is fine.

For some background, we previously corrected some battery usage problems in 1.4.3 and this should no longer be a problem.

If you notice any further problems, it'd be great if you could contact us with some details at the link Brendan mentioned above.
