A nice image

So i use ROMs os my phone and all that crap, and thats supposed to improve battery life, processing speed, etc etc etc. But recently i had noticed that my battery was not doing too well, in fact it was constantly draining (phone shouldnt really be using that much battery while its inactive). So i tried wiping battery stats, killing useless tasks, getting a better kernel, reinstalling CM7, etc etc. None of it helped. I asked android-nologies-meister Jordan what i should do and he suggested i check battery stats to see if theres an app that was using a lot of batt. Guess what? OKCupid is using 79% of my battery (top left). Guess what also… Its causing my phone to be awake at ALL TIMES (bottom right), even when phone is not in use (compare “screen on” to “awake”). AND I DONT EVEN USE OKCUPID! So i promptly uninstalled it. Today, between 8:00 and 14:00, battery went from 95% to 80%. Thanks jordan, and a big fuck you to OKCupid!
