The problem with Zillow OS3 is the notification kills the battery life (like 2-3X). I noticed this when I woke up in the morning and put my fully charged iPhone in my pocket. 1 hr later my battery was at 78%. Didn't even turn it on! I wondered how that could have happened when normally it would have been say 95%.

I noticed that the usage said that I've used the phone for 52 of the last 58 minutes! How did that happen I wondered. Well, long story short, it was the notification of the Zillow app keeping alive. I've since shut off notifications for Zillow and my old battery life is back. ]]>Jul 22nd 2009 10:00AM
