Earlier this week I noticed that the battery on my HTC One S drained really fast.
I check some settings and stats and found that the Remember the Milk app (RTM) seems to be the culprit.

- GPS was on all the time (seen in power > history)
even though I explicitly turned it off... it stayed on - the RTM app used more than one third of the power
(and location alerts were disabled... so there should not have been any link to the GPS thingy above) - however, RTM was using GPS all the time, as can be seen in the details.
And I could not make this go away.
I was pretty sure that during the previous days, I rebooted the phone (just because for lack of power...)
So I posted a question to the RTM support forum and disabled the app for the time being.
You have to re-read the last half sentence to fully understand how this was bothering me:
I - totally dependent on RTM - disabled the app on my phone. Imagine that.

The RTM folks responded, I described the problem in more detail, and got the tip/request to
- uninstall RTM app (not simply disable)
- reboot the phone
- re-install RTM app from the play store.
I did as requested, and voilà the problem was gone.
RTM does not even show up any longer in the power statistic. (So nowhere near 34%).
And GPS is really only on when I need it (see history).
Should have thought of this myself: I mean, I'm in the business too long not to consider re-boot and re-install :)
Big thanks to the RTM team for their fast help
