Any way to help stop the battery drain from beejiveIM besides not using it?

[Breezer23]

That's why I uninstalled it. It takes my battery drain from about 5.9% per hour to over 13%.

yea its a bummer...maybe cuz its only the beta right now? Or if its the official release maybe they will update it eventually. I'm sure they are getting tons of complaints.

[Breezer23]

Yeah, it does suck. The only reason I can think of is that it is continuously checking for new people logging in so that is always using the connection. Using the connection = battery drain.

guess the waiting game begins...just like everyone waits for leaked OS's and new apps etc...story of our sad crackberry lives!

I also have to chime in a say that the battery drain is so bad that I stopped using it altogether. I didn't have this problem when I was using a Curve. I hope they fix it soon so I can start using it again. The amount of time they're taking to finish this app is pretty pathetic.

But.. it is an amazing IM client. I love it. the battery drain is a bit of a bummer tho.

[Breezer23]

Yup the battery drain kills the entire program for me. I'd buy it if it weren't for that.

their facebook IM isnt working either, double miss...

I was so ready to buy the program too, i know its not their fault, but still, get on facebooks new IM server and work on a fix! I wouldnt mind the battery drain so much if they fixed it! I have a car charger!!

Very good program but I have noticed since my trial expired and I uninstalled and switched back to google and yahoo chat clients separately, both my memory and battery life have improved significantly
