This did drain the battery a lot (apparently...)if you did not manually chose one of the networks. I never suspected this to be a big battery drain but it definitely was! Wouter Hi Antony,

Let's just hope the developers read this posting and fix their application. :) @Thomas: I don’t want to mention the name of the application because of ethic reasons.

How did you solve the problem with the network? @wouterk: That’s another good point. How did you solve the problem with the network?

But for me it was not software which made my battery life suddenly very short but bad network. My provider was switching networks so a lot of network roaming was done all the time. This dramatically decreased my battery life. Normally 2 to 3 days. Then empty in half a day! Luckily this problem is over now. :) Wouter Hi,
