[Q] List of power hungry apps?

---

I've being trying with a number of apps/widgets lately and have found some of them have a big impact on my power usage. I think we should make a list of these apps/widgets just so ppl are aware of these things.

I'm currently trying 3G watchdog and Time Widget. I felt having them impacted my battery, anyone else having the same issue?

If we could make a list here, that'd be great!

List:

- Advanced Task Killer (this made a HUGE difference to my battery usage).

Use this battery widget, doesn't use hardly any powerhttp://apps.androidtapp.com/#battery...idgets.battery

I found that any task manager i installed used more battery than leaving apps running!!!
Dolphin 2 browser ate 97% of my battery overnight!!!

any decent weather widget not using too much battery?

In 3G Watchdog you can set the checking frequency of your usage, as default it is set to check every minute, i have changed mine to update to the maximum time @ 1 hour intervals [i think]

A good weather widget to use that doesnt kill the battery is beautiful widgets, well worth the £2 or whatever it costs in the market
