[Q] Facebook battery hog? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been wondering how people get such good battery life so I just checked what was eating mine and I saw that Facebook is absolutely destroying my battery. Is there a way to make the app more energy-efficient, and does this happen to anyone else?

What about under the Facebook Settings u could change the time under "Refresh interval" to a longer time period or even to Never.
Then on ur phone go to Manage applications/ Facebook then Force stop. Then check the usage several hrs later or the next day...

I did that a few hours ago and it seems to be a bit better. I'll check at the end of the day tomorrow and then see how much battery it uses.

The simplest answer is just to uninstall Facebook. Besides running yet another unneeded service on your phone, the app phones home to Facebook on you.
You gain battery life, and more privacy. Win win in my book.

Install 'Android Sytem Info' and go to 'Tasks'. Expand each task and you will see the UID of the task. Your UID will probably be in there somewhere.

Happens to me too. Sometimes a battery pull brings it back up. Sometimes it doesn't so I'm not too sure why it happens.
There is another forum on here about doing a battery recalibration. In there I suggest there is a miscommunication between the battery data and the display. But it looks to be more than that. Your battery shouldn't be the problem. It will display that you have 20% but in reality you have something like 30%. I have had the same issue, but it still takes forever for the battery to fully die.
Mine does the same thing but then it'll slowly go from like 20 to 50% in a couple hours without charging or even plugging it into anything so I never really worried about it...

The image shows 6h20m of usage, my Maps app keeps starting on its own and is keeping my phone awake.
Even after I force close and remove all maps related services.
Does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve advanced task killer and the likes?
I'm on CM10, with 4.2.1 gapps.

Just uninstall it or freeze it using Titanium Backup

I decided to see how long my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G would last on standby with an extended battery two and a half months back, and this is what happened.

This is a common problem with lots of different options for fixing. Try clearing Google play services data and cache (go to all apps, Google play services, click manage storage, then clear all button at bottom), Google play store data/cache, sign out of your Google account before and sign back in after... If you haven't tried thst already.
Try doing some searches too. There are a ton of guides for fixing this issue on many forums - it's a pretty widespread issue.
