Google+ was stuck uploading, so it was draining my battery every time it started. As soon as I cancelled the upload, it came back to normal. I found out what was the issue in my case.

]]> Comment on Cell Phone: For those looking to get out of your Sprint contract without paying Early Termination (ETF) Fee by Alex http://www.techgeekandmore.com/2011/09/06/sprint-etf-termination-sep-2011/#comment-27199 Alex Wed, 18 Jan 2012 13:56:18 +0000 http://www.techgeekandmore.com/2011/09/06/sprint-eft-termination-sep-2011/#comment-27199 I have been with sprint since the late 90's. Here is one thing I've learned. If you are NOT having your issue resolved, you ask for the "Customer Retension Department". When you call each time, note the time, date, and get a name (and badge number/id)....and dont call once in a while. Call everyday or every other day. Having the ability of saying ive called 8 times or 10 times (etc) on (Insert dates and times) and spoke to (Insert names / id's) will get you far. In addition, mentioning to Sprint that you have no problem going on the web and informing "the world" about how your needs are not being met by sprint will get you attention and resolution. They do NOT want bad attention made public. The people who call once dont concern them, the ones who rock the cage over and over do. Good Luck. Keep us informed.

This suggestion is for those who had it installed and upgraded. Seems that a clean install sometimes corrects issues. **I can't confirm this yet, but it wouldnt hurt....Remember to uncheck the settings once you reinstall.

I'm having the same issue on a MyTouch 4G. Battery started draining overnight after installing Google+. I'm running build 2.3.1.242969 I've already disabled Instant Uploads, Google+ Notifications and Messenger Notifications. I'll be monitoring it for the next couple of days. After that, it's off to the chopping block! Just a little update. I’m having the same issue on a MyTouch 4G. Battery started draining overnight after installing Google+.

I'm having so many issues with our service and phones. My husband has limited service, kids phone repeatedly drop calls, phones shut off at will, freeze, get constant interferance. We were just told by customer service that cell service is not guranteed by Sprint! Um, then what am I paying for every month? What am I supposed to do now?

Thank you ever so. You ARE a genius!! Now can anyone help me get my Locoscript documents working in Word or Open Office or otherwise in Windows Vista? Locoscript is a DOS-based word-processor software that was issued originally with Amstrad machines. There was also a Windows (3.2 or whatever) version issued. I had some Windows version at some time anyway. Special Thanks Absolutely brilliant.
