Default ADW Launcher and battery drain

Anyone noticed any battery drain with the ADW Launcher? I had it for like 2 days and my battery seemed to drain faster then usual so I removed it

What else have you got installed? It's the only launcher I use and have never had battery issues with it.

I use adw and its great. Because of adw my batt lasts 4days without charge. Remove all the stuff on Ur original home. This prevents the phone from needing to remember stuff on its own home screen. I think.

I dont have any problem here either, tho i have often wondered if i should kill the original home app to prevent it being useless in the background?

To All..
Instead of using home replacement app..just try 'launch-x' widget along with 'smartbar' and 'multicon'..
Use ur original x10 home..its Best

I use ADW and Juice Defender (just to toggle my APN/Wi-Fi when I turn the screen off), and with light-moderate usage (send like 100 texts, about an hour of browsing) I can easily get 2 days out of it.

I had pretty decent battery life with ADW...although Im now running Live Home as I find it much nicer.

But something weird I noticed I guess I could mention...I do like the default launcher but when I use it as home I have notice SIGNIFICANT battery drainage and I mean fast! When I go to check battery use my 'cell standby" is like 85% give or take a couple even when the phone has been just sitting there for a few hours. Its like it never goes to sleep...however when I use Live Home or even ADW for that matter my "cell standby" is usually around 30% or less.
Anyone else get the same thing?

I actually just checked my cell standby and its only at 14%....where as with the default home its 80% or more.
