If you have Shopsavvy installed and value your battery life: uninstall it.
Android: Shop Savvy Success Story
I just found out that Shopsavvy runs a service in the background, even if you don't ask it to and even if you've never launched the program. This service tries to find for your location using GPS for whatever reason. In case you don't know, GPS uses tons of battery; it may be the most power-hungry function on an android phone. For some reason, Shopsavvy thinks it has the right to know where you are and waste your battery, even when it's not being run.
If you value battery life, uninstall Shopsavvy right now. Also, don't be shy to leave negative market comments and e-mails to the developer.
Anyone have some apps to recommend for comparing food prices across grocery stores? I downloaded shopsavvy (free version) and it leaves a lot to be desired for me. Is there anything better out there?
Hey Android, I thought I would share with you guys my success story with using shop savvy!
I was at Bestbuy shopping for RAM on the day after xmas. I needed some DDR2 Ram (Preferably 2gigs). I looked at the fastest one, and it cost over $75!
So I pulled out my G1 and scanned the barcode. Sure enough, it was $41.00 on Tiger Direct. So I go up to the customer support booth and tell them my story and showed them the price on my phone. They looked it up and gave me a 30$ discount! I felt so happy.
Just thought you guys might like to hear that.
