Anyone know why there are so many facebook things installed too, I only installed the widget for desktop.
Before I installed firmware 1.2, in recent days my battery was dieing pretty fast for some reason. I noticed that when I keep the wifi turned on it keeps connecting to one of the connections and as those connections require key/password to enter it connects to the router but doesnt really connects to the net.

So as it has already connected to the wifi router, the gtalk and skype tries to login all the time. Thus battery runs out within few hours.

However, when I disable the wifi the battery runs longer like it used to do before.

But i dont know why the battery runs out quicker these days because even in the past I never used to disable wifi but in those days I didnt notice it trying to connect to one of the available connections then trying to logon skype/gtalk like non-stop

So when you aren't using wifi, keep it disable and see if the battery remains longer.

Also I installed 1.2 only last night so I dont know if the battery still runs out fast if I keep the wifi on all the time. Need to test that in coming days
