Anyone using the Scorecenter widget noticing it murders the battery life?

I used to be able to get thru a full day on Incredible with moderate use, live wallpaper running, along with several other things.. I been taking off things one by one that I recently added to see why battery life was so bad all of a sudden. Seems I may have pinpointed it at Scorecenter widget.... Anyone have same experience? Maybe its back to SportsTap. :cool:
 
Anyone know of an app that will notify me of final score w/o having a widget running? It can actually email me too but I wouldn't imagine this is possible w/o something running in the background... ie a widget. Maybe there's an online program that's free that will email me or something.
I still can't figure out if/why sportstap needs the widget running to get notifications. I thought I recalled trying it last week without the widget and I still got notifications, but I don't think it was reliable.

The notification settings are in the main program. Seems like it could still run as a service and notify you of events.

Sent my Inc back today, so I'm not on Android at the moment, so I can't re-test.

I had notifications enabled and when I deleted the widget (I was deleting LOTs of stuff in the spirit of seeing how much of a drain it all was on my battery) I no longer got updates. Put the widget back on a homepage and I got notifications. It was pretty conclusive for me anyway.

Does anyone know if or when ESPN Scorecenter will update and get push notifications. My friend has the same app on his iphone and it has the notifications. what gives?
I have the same problem. I want it to pop up on my backround when game starts and score, but their isnt push notifications and alerts. And it also says that its their when its not.

i just downloaded the Yahoo Sportacular live scores app... looks like it will give you an updated for all of the following:

Game Start
Game End
Score Change
Inning Change
Every 3 Innings
Extra Innings

This is obviously for baseball but imagine it has notifications for all sports...

i currently have the sportscenter app but am looking for something new

I never had any luck with the Scorecenter widget. It euither updates way slowly, or not at all.

I prefer Yahoo Sportacular Livescores. It's very good with scores and standings. Plus you can set all you favorite teams and what alerts you wants. For example for baseball, you can set alerts for finnal scores, game start, game end, score change, inning change, every 3 innings and/or extra innings.
