Prior to upgrading to Facebook v1.2 on my Blackberry 8330, I had no issues with battery levels. However the day after I installed Facebook v1.2, my battery level was in the “redzone” within 4 hours of unplugging after a 100% charge cycle. I’ve had my Blackberry 8330 for 7 months now, and I’ve never had a battery drain like this. My daily pattern hasn’t changed either, it was a normal day, I woke up, got ready and went to work as usual. So absolutely nothing was different except the new Facebook version. This also happened to another co-worker of mine, so I’m convinced that Facebook v1.2 is a serious battery drain.

[...] Beh, purtroppo la nuova versione ha avuto vita breve, infatti Rim l’ha dovuta togliere per diversi motivi, tra cui pare un consumo eccessivo della batteria come segnalato da Berry review. [...]

I installed the app on my sprint 8830 and every day afterwards had 0 battery around lunchtime. I fully charge my bb every night and have never had this problem before.
I barely use this app at all!

I agree, people need to realize that anytime you are transfering data rather its programs, texting, internet or what not. It is going to use more battery life than your phone setting idle.
