Motorola Droid: Check What is Draining the Battery

Posted by Mitch on Dec 05, 2009 under Android Tips | 1 Comment

My Motorola Droid battery was getting drained even when I would sit it down idle overnight. I used a utility in the Adroid OS to tell me where the battery power was being used.

1. From the main screen, press Menu.

2. Tap Settings.

3. Scroll to the bottom and tap About phone.

4. Tap Battery use.

In my case, the Bejeweled game app was running all night and sucking down the battery. From this screen, I could tap the app causing the problem, then go to Application Info where I forced the app to stop.
