Is there a list somewhere that shows different android applications and how much battery power they, and their services use?
Or better yet, is there an app that breaks down battery use by app and services.
Thanks

I haven't seen a list laying out expected drain by app and wonder how that would even be created.
Checkout Spare Parts (avail via Market). It's not perfect (nothing is) but will give you some info on what apps/services are using the battery. I've also been using Battery Diviner (Free version from the Market) to show me how the batter is being drained in aggregate over time.

It's Elixer killing all my battery.
Aww, and it's such a useful app too :/

Lol, nope :P
I called them and they said "They were planning expansion into these areas in the near future". Whatever that means.
I'm going to use it as a testbed for app creation as I'm in school for programming right now anyhow :)
I might just give it to my dad, he's on wind in Vancouver with a crappy huwei phone.

damn that kinda sucks. yeah it would be a good test phone for app creation. Are you taking programming in college or university? cause I'm thinking of either taking that or computer engineering next year.

I'm taking a 2 year college course, and after my 2 years I'll probably transfer to a more recognized tech school or university.
