You probably need to wait longer before something else shows near the top.
If idle consumption remains very high with it off for a few days.
Then you may well have the issue I was describing...
In which case read that bug-report, as there's workarounds explained there.
Some have even come up with a script....

I may not respond in this thread for another week or more.
Monitoring TMO & FMC less lately, have too much work :-/
I suspect this issue really does have nothing to do with eBuddy though.
So it may be best to take it to the idle consumption thread or bug report.
Ok here my feedback, using Ebuddy from Ovi

1) UI and Incoming Tone, super cool!
2) Settings Button is useless, U can't change anything there, couldn't get the option to load an Avatar, maybe I'm wrong.
3) My Friend on Iphone seems to love his too, not sure what the difference is. But he wanted to know why I don't use Whatsapp, so I lied and said I'll load it soon
4) The down part, I have a contract SIM and a Prepaid SIM, I mostly use the Prepaid one to cut costs, I normally buy 10MB daily just for FB & Twitter, it lasts me till the following day. So today I loaded 10MB and switched off FB & Twitter and focused mainly on EBuddy, within 20min all my Data bundles and Airtime I had loaded was gone, this means consumption on Data Bundles is high, I think this happens because it goes through FB to collect Friends info and that kills Data! Any experienced this? If I had a local WLAN I wouldn't complain now Damn! I switched it off!

EDIT
Ok I take number 4 out, it seems I was wrong, somehow Twitter & FB Feeds collected updates for the last 2 days, and I though I turned them off..... So now I deleted those accounts completely, now Ebuddy seems to be much lighter, even on the battery too it's improved from when I first had it. What I've picked up lately is that the 1st day when there's a new App battery drains, if U leave it there longer the phones seems to settle it...
