Android Apps That Will Drain Your Battery

By David Grant - Posted on 11 May 2011

I have been having a hell of a time with my new Nexus S. The battery life has been abysmal. I have finally paid close attention to the battery use screen and began removing applications. These are the applications so far that were using a lot my battery's charge:

  • Google Latitude - Cannot be uninstalled on a stock Android phone, so just log out of it.
  • Twitter

Some applications were suprisingly good about not using up much battery:

  • Gmail
  • Skype

I'll update this list as I find more applications that use up lots of battery.
