Default .44 Magnum

I downloaded this app and it worked perfectly, but left it open in small card view and my battery went from 90% to 63% in about 2 hours with phone in holster doing nothing, removed app and back to normal, don't know if it was a coincidence or if it was the app doing it, anyone else have this app?

Ah, that's very interesting.

Yesterday I installed one of their other apps, Moo Cow. I played the sound a few times and then switched off my Pre as I was going out to a formal dinner.

When I got home about 4 hours later my Pre was completely dead. It would not switch on. I plugged it into the wall charge, the TS would not help, and a picture of a big battery with a lightening arrow showed up. It took about 15 minutes charging before my Pre came up with the Palm resetting screen, and when it came to life my battery was at 1% charge.

So it looks like the company behind these 'fun' apps have a bug !!

*runs to pre to remove *


Wondered why my battery life was horrible yesterday., Installed .44 Magnum.


Slacker Button didnt seem to have the same effect. I did remove it just incase but its pretty worthless anyways... At least the android .44 magnum has the gun and you can take it apart and cock it then shoot it. not just a button...

I have a feeling my horrible battery life over the past three days or so is a result of 44 magnum. The weird thing is I deleted it right after loading it. (It didn't work.) But my batteery continues to drain. It seems to have left a bug somewhere in the system. Not sure what to try next.

One thought for those who left the app running, it is ad supported, so it is probably downloading ads fairly often.

Don't install an app whose sole purpose is to make a gunshot noise?
